Abstract
To provide a technology that can achieve an improvement in the characteristics of a pump configured to pump a fluid by bending vibration of a plate-shaped piezoelectric actuator and downsizing of the pump. A pump structure according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an actuator capable of bending vibration, a fixing portion disposed to surround the actuator, and a support portion disposed integrally with the fixing portion and the actuator to connect the fixing portion and the actuator, the support portion supporting the actuator to enable the bending vibration with respect to the fixing portion. The actuator and the fixing portion are not similar in shape. The support portion includes a folded portion at which the support portion can be overlapped along the outer shape of the actuator.
