ABSTRACT:
The ultrasonic hydraulic booster pump (10, 150) comprises a backing plate housing (11) defining a cavity (14) closed at one end (13) by an end cap (18), the end cap (18) having an inlet port (20) and the backing plate housing (11) having an outlet port (16). A diaphragm (35). (30) having a plurality of openings (33) is mounted between the end cap (18) and a spacer member (35) located within the cavity. A plurality of annular shaped piezoelectric rings or discs (60) are located within a ring housing (40) disposed within the spacer member A plug member (50) with a through opening (52) extends through a central through opening (44) in the ring housing (40) and includes a valve seat (58) disposed closely adjacent a solid central portion (34) of the diaphragm (30) , and the end cap (18) includes a valve seat (22) disposed closely adjacent the opposite side of the diaphragm (30). An alternating voltage applied to the piezoelectric rings (60) causes excitation thereof and resonance of the diaphragm (30) so that hydraulic fluid is pumped from the inlet port (20) and out the outlet port (16). The ultrasonic hydraulic booster pump (150) provides increased or boost pressure in a hydraulic braking system (100).
