A microactuator device (12) includes a base (20) with at least one electrode pad (24) and a permeation membrane (18). Permeation membrane (18) is typically a water-permeable membrane that is able to deform by applying an electric charge to the electrode pad (24). The actuator device (12) can be incorporated into valve assembly (10) to open and close the valve. The valve assembly can have a reciprocating valve member (146) operated by the deforming of the water- permeable member. Alternatively, the valve assembly can have an opening (46) positioned to cooperate with the water-permeable membrane (18) so that the deformation of the membrane closes the opening.

L'invention concerne un dispositif micro-actionneur (12) comportant une base (20) pourvue d'au moins une pastille d'électrode (24) et d'une membrane de perméation (18). Cette membrane de perméation (18) est généralement une membrane perméable à l'eau qui peut se déformer par application d'une charge électrique sur la pastille d'électrode (24). Ce dispositif micro-actionneur (12) peut être incorporé dans un ensemble soupape (10) pour ouvrir et fermer ladite soupape. Cet ensemble soupape peut comporter un élément de soupape (146) à va-et-vient mis en fonctionnement par la déformation de l'élément perméable à l'eau. En variante, l'ensemble soupape peut présenter une ouverture (46) disposée pour coopérer avec la membrane (18) perméable à l'eau, de sorte que la déformation de la membrane bouche l'ouverture.
