1. A micropump of peristaltic drive system of pressing a tube having elasticity to transport a fluid, the micropump comprising:
- a pump module including the tube, a cam that presses the tube, and a cam shaft on which the cam is pivotally mounted;
a drive module including a drive force transmission mechanism that transmits a drive force from a motor to the cam shaft;
a coupling member that detachably couples the pump module and the drive module; and
a linkage mechanism provided between the motor and the cam shaft to link the drive force.
