Abstract
A fluid pump includes: three or more volume chambers that suction and discharge a fluid sequentially; moving elements that are respectively provided in the volume chambers, move relative to the volume chamber, and suction and discharge the fluid from and to the volume chamber; a cam that abuts against and drives the moving elements; and a driving section that drives at least one of the moving elements and the cam and relatively rotates the moving elements and the cam to discharge the fluid one time from each of the volume chambers in one cycle of the relative rotation, in which, when suctioning and discharging the fluid, regarding a discharge rotation angle α, α=(Z/M)×N is satisfied, where the number of volume chambers is M and any integer from 2 to (M−1) is N.
