Description

Ultrasonic transducer array, directional sounding control method and directional sounding device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of directional sounding, in particular to an ultrasonic transducer array, a directional sounding control method and a directional sounding device.
Background
As shown in fig. 1, the sounding principle of the conventional parametric array speaker is: differential frequency audible sound (frequency f1-f 2) is generated by air nonlinear self-demodulation from finite amplitude ultrasound (ultrasonic frequencies f1 and f2, respectively). Conventional parametric array speakers typically use multiple identical ultrasonic transducers in an array that simultaneously emit ultrasonic waves at frequencies f1 and f2, with a single ultrasonic transducer typically being circular or square in shape, as shown in fig. 2 and 3. During forward transmission, ultrasonic waves with two frequencies can demodulate ultrasonic beams with different frequency bands, and the two frequencies have a cumulative effect. As shown in fig. 4, the sound sources of virtual difference frequency audible sounds with frequencies f1-f2 formed by accumulation form an end-shooter-like loudspeaker, thereby realizing a high-directivity difference frequency audible sound beam and an ultra-long difference frequency audible sound propagation distance. In the case of an unmanned head or other shielding, an ultrasonic intersection region (i.e., an audible sound region) formed by a conventional parametric array speaker is shown as a shaded region in fig. 5, and the audible sound pressure level in the ultrasonic intersection region is high, for example, the sound pressure level of an audible sound frequency band around 1kHz can be up to 80dB.
Under the condition that the head, the trunk and other shielding objects exist, the conventional parametric array loudspeaker has more ultrasonic intersection of different frequencies due to reflection of the head and the trunk, the ultrasonic intersection area is enlarged to be a shadow area as shown in fig. 6, and the visible ultrasonic intersection area exceeds the sound source radiation area of the parametric array loudspeaker. Because the ultrasonic intersection area is large, the directivity is weak, the propagation distance is long, meanwhile, the specific audible sound area is difficult to determine due to the increase of left and right reflected sounds, the sound can be heard before and after the person, and the privacy is poor.
However, when the parametric array speaker is applied to some use scenes such as voice calls and web conferences, it is desirable to realize a short transmission distance while realizing high directivity, so as to reduce the environmental reflection caused by the sound of the rear of an audio receiver in a use area, the sound wave transmitted to a wall surface, and the like, and improve the privacy of sound production. This is not possible with conventional parametric array speakers.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to find a parametric array speaker capable of simultaneously realizing high directivity, short transmission distance and improving sound privacy.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 7, the present embodiment provides an ultrasonic transducer array 100, where the ultrasonic transducer array 100 includes at least two ultrasonic transducer sub-arrays disposed at intervals, and the sound emission frequency bands of ultrasonic waves emitted by any two adjacent ultrasonic transducer sub-arrays are different. And, the sound production areas of any two adjacent ultrasonic transducer subarrays are intersected to form an ultrasonic intersection area 10, and ultrasonic waves of different sound production frequency bands in the ultrasonic intersection area 10 are self-demodulated under the action of air to form difference frequency audible sound. The ultrasonic intersection region 10 formed in this manner is located in the entire sound source radiation region 20 of the ultrasonic transducer array 100, and the ultrasonic intersection region 10 is far smaller than the sound source radiation region 20, so that the audible sound region of the ultrasonic transducer array 100 is reduced, high directionality of audible sound is realized, the propagation distance is shortened, and the privacy when the ultrasonic transducer array 100 is applied is improved.
Any of the at least two sub-arrays of ultrasound transducers may be the same or different in shape, including but not limited to at least one of circular, rectangular. And, the ultrasound transducer array 100 includes at least two ultrasound transducer sub-arrays that are regularly arranged or irregularly arranged, which may specifically be: at least two of the ultrasound transducer subarrays form a one-dimensional array arrangement (fig. 9), a two-dimensional array arrangement (fig. 10), or a circular array arrangement (fig. 11). It should be noted that any of the above arrangements and combinations are applicable to the present invention for the purpose of customizing the audible sound area.
For ease of description, the present embodiment is further described in detail with respect to the ultrasound transducer array 100 including the first ultrasound transducer sub-array 30 and the second ultrasound transducer sub-array 40 disposed adjacently. The first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 emits a first ultrasonic beam of a first ultrasonic frequency band f1, the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 emits a second ultrasonic beam of a second ultrasonic frequency band f2, and f1 is different from f2, and part of the first ultrasonic beam and part of the second ultrasonic beam at the same time intersect in the propagation direction to form an ultrasonic intersection region 10. It will be appreciated that the ultrasound intersection region 10 is located within the sound source radiation region 20, i.e. the ultrasound intersection region 10 is smaller than the sound source radiation region 20.
In one embodiment, the sound emitting surface of the first ultrasound transducer sub-array 30 is located within the same full sound emitting surface as the sound emitting surface of the second ultrasound transducer sub-array 40, which transmits ultrasound waves in the forward direction. The complete sound producing surface can be a plane, a curved surface or a complete sound producing surface with any shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the sound emitting surface of the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and the sound emitting surface of the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 may not be located on the same plane, and the present invention is applicable to the front-back offset arrangement.
The ultrasonic waves of different sounding frequency bands in the ultrasonic intersection region 10 are self-demodulated under the action of air to form a difference frequency audible sound, and the difference frequency audible sound is located in a first difference frequency audible sound region 50. As shown in fig. 7, when no audio receiver or other obstruction is present within the ultrasound intersection region 10, the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is located within the ultrasound intersection region 10 and is smaller than the ultrasound intersection region 10. As shown in fig. 8, when an audio receiver exists in the ultrasonic intersection region 10, the ultrasonic intersection of different frequencies is more due to a certain degree of reflection of the ultrasonic beam by the head or torso of the audio receiver, the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is slightly increased in all directions, but the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is still located in the sound source radiation region 20, and the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is still far smaller than the sound source radiation region 20 of the ultrasonic transducer array 100 in all directions. Thus, a clear first difference frequency audible sound may be heard when the audio receiver is within the first difference frequency audible sound region 50, and the first difference frequency audible sound may not be heard when the audio receiver is outside the first difference frequency audible sound region 50.
The person facing the ultrasonic transducer array 100 and located in the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is defined as the audio receiver for ease of description.
The acoustic pressure level of the first difference frequency audible sound formed by the ultrasonic transducer array 100 in this embodiment is slightly reduced due to the partial intersection, and the propagation distance of the first difference frequency audible sound is shortened due to the reduction of the acoustic pressure level along with the propagation distance, that is, the length of the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 in the propagation direction is reduced, so that the first difference frequency audible sound is prevented from continuing to be transmitted to the rear of the first difference frequency audible sound region 50. Therefore, the ultrasonic transducer array 100 is also far smaller than a conventional parametric array speaker in the propagation direction, and the privacy requirement of the directional sound can be effectively ensured. Typically, the first difference frequency audible sound region 50 is a relatively high privacy directional sound region that is desired to be formed, i.e., a corresponding region of use for the ultrasound transducer array 100.
In this embodiment, at least two ultrasound transducer sub-arrays are formed by dividing one ultrasound transducer array, and the interval between any two adjacently arranged ultrasound transducer sub-arrays is not more than 0.2m. In this embodiment, the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 are formed by dividing the same ultrasonic transducer array, so that the minimum distance between any one of the first ultrasonic transducer included in the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and any one of the second ultrasonic transducer included in the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 is not greater than 0.2m. Of course, on the premise of meeting the minimum distance, the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 may also be independently arranged, for example, they respectively belong to two different schemes such as directional sounding devices, and are all suitable for the present invention. It will be appreciated that the distance between the edge of the first ultrasound transducer sub-array 30 closest to the second ultrasound transducer sub-array 40 and the corresponding edge of the second ultrasound transducer sub-array 40 in this embodiment is actually the minimum distance.
The present embodiment is not limited in the size of the acoustic transducer array 100. To ensure sound pressure level and directivity within the first difference frequency audible sound zone 50, the ultrasonic transducer array 100 has a width of no more than 1.5m in a horizontal direction parallel to the ears of the corresponding audio receiver.
And, in customizing the formation of the corresponding first difference frequency audible sound region 50, it should be ensured that the distance between the center point of the connection line formed by the two ears of the audio receiver and the sound emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer array 100 is not more than 2m, so as to further ensure the sound pressure level and directivity of the audible sound.
Therefore, the present embodiment can customize the structure of the ultrasonic transducer array 100 according to the setting requirement (i.e. the directional sound privacy setting requirement) of the first difference frequency audible sound area 50 (i.e. the usage area), and the adjusted parameters include, but are not limited to, the ultrasonic radiation angle and frequency f1 of the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30, the ultrasonic radiation angle and frequency f2 of the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40, the relative positional relationship and spacing distance between the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40, the distance between the first difference frequency audible sound area 50 and the sound emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer array 100, the width of the sound emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer array 100 in the horizontal direction, etc.
In conclusion, the ultrasonic transducer array reduces the corresponding audible sound area through the optimized structure, realizes high directionality of audible sound and shortens the propagation distance at the same time, thereby improving the privacy when the ultrasonic transducer array is applied; more importantly, even the presence of a voice recipient in the audible sound region does not compromise its privacy.
Example two
As shown in fig. 12, on the basis of the first embodiment, the present embodiment further provides an ultrasonic transducer array 200, where the ultrasonic transducer array 200 includes the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 and the second ultrasonic transducer sub-array 40 in the first embodiment, and further includes the third ultrasonic transducer sub-array 60. The sound emitting surface of the third ultrasound transducer sub-array 60 is located on the same plane as the sound emitting surface of the first ultrasound transducer sub-array 30 or the second ultrasound transducer sub-array 40. The third ultrasound transducer sub-array 60 emits a third ultrasound beam of a third ultrasound frequency band.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 12, a third ultrasound transducer sub-array 60 is spaced apart from the first ultrasound transducer sub-array 30, the third ultrasound frequency band being different from the first ultrasound frequency band. A part of the first ultrasonic wave beam and a part of the third ultrasonic wave beam at the same time meet in the propagation direction and are demodulated to generate second difference frequency audible sound. As shown in fig. 13, the first difference frequency audible sound and the second difference frequency audible sound are both located in the second difference frequency audible sound region 70, and the second difference frequency audible sound region 70 is located in the sound source radiation region 20 of the ultrasonic transducer array 200, that is, the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic transducer array 200 are formed as a whole to be much smaller than the second difference frequency audible sound region 70 of the sound source radiation region 20. The arrangement of the third ultrasonic transducer sub-array 60 and the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30 at intervals includes, but is not limited to, one of arranging the third ultrasonic transducer sub-array 60 adjacent to the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30, arranging the third ultrasonic transducer sub-array 60 around the periphery of the first ultrasonic transducer sub-array 30, and the like.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the customized difference frequency audible sound area is formed by dividing the ultrasonic transducer array into three or more ultrasonic transducer sub-arrays arranged at intervals, and the formed difference frequency audible sound area has better directivity and short propagation distance, and better privacy.
