Abstract
A fluid transportation device includes a valve seat, a valve cap, a valve membrane, and an actuating module. The valve seat has an outlet channel and an inlet channel. The valve cap has a tilt structure. The valve membrane has an inlet valve structure and an outlet valve structure. The actuating module has a vibration film and an actuator. When the fluid transportation device is in a non-actuation status, a pressure cavity with a gradually-increasing depth is defined. When a voltage is applied on the actuator to result in deformation of the actuator, the vibration film generates a pressure difference to push the fluid. The fluid is introduced into the inlet valve structure through the inlet channel, guided by the tilt structure of the valve cap to be flowed from the pressure cavity to the outlet valve structure, and then flowed out of the outlet channel.
