The internal sheathing is glued to the inside surface and the external sheathing on the outside surface of the hollow cylinder. These transducers are particularly suitable for the reception of sound waves. When using them as transmission transducers with particularly high sound level, there is, however, the danger that the glued joint will be ruptured due to the large swings of the internal and external sheathings.
The object of the invention is to produce a transmission antenna of the type mentioned in the introduction, which '5i requires little space, facilitates a simple bringing in and paying out and which due to its robust construction can be used for the determination of positions over large distances. This objective is achieved with a transmission antenna of the type specified in the generic part of claim 1 by the features of the characterising part of claim 1.
Each transmission transducer of the transmission antenna has a piezo-ceramic hollow cylinder with a convex external sheathing and a concave internal sheathing between two covers, the height 25 of which is mechanically pre-tensioned by the covers. The S. hollow cylinder can be also constructed from piezo-ceramic discs or manufactured from therphenol. The external sheathing, internal sheathing and the covers form an enclosed hollow ring which surrounds the hollow cylinder. In the radial direction there are hollow spaces between the hollow cylinder and the external sheathing as well as between the hollow cylinder and i| the internal sheathing. When transmitting sound waves, radial and/or axial oscillations of the hollow cylinder are transferred to the hollow ring surrounding it and transmitted in the ratio of the thickness of the hollow ring to its height.
The thickness of the hollow ring is determined by the difference between the diameters of the external sheathing and i- the internal sheathing. By this construction of the 4 transmission transducer a movement transformation is carried out, which allows an increase of the stroke of the transmission itransducer in the radial direction while having the same radiation capacity and accordingly increases the frequency range towards the lower frequencies in the same ratio.
The advantage of the transmission antenna according to claim 1 is that its resistance to flow and the flow noises are small along the transmission antenna, since its diameter is matched to suit the trailing antennas, so called thin-line streamers, which are used to receive low-frequency sound waves. The particular advantage of the transmission antenna according to claim 1 is that the transmission transducer is accommodated in a hose, that the hose with the transmission transducers and the i" trailing antenna forming a trailing unit can be paid out and I pulled in using the same pulling-in device, wherein its transmitting portion is in the vicinity of the towing ship and its receiving portion is trailed at a greater distance from it.
Thus a special towing body for the transmission antenna has I become superfluous, as has separate mechanical joining to the towing watercraft, and the spatial requirement on board became smaller.
From EP 0 251 797 a cylindrical transmission transducer is S 25 already known, which transmits at 15 kHz. It has an external sheathing and a cover which are intimately joined with the piezo-ceramic hollow cylinder. With this transmission transducer a relative band width of 40 is achieved. Sound waves of 1.5 kHz cannot be radiated, since the ceramic cylinder cannot carry out a 10-fold stroke which would be required for the same emission output as for 15 kHz.
l The advantageous development of the transmission antenna according to claim 2, wherein the height is 10 times that of 1 35 the thickness of the hollow ring, the dimensioning results in a Stransmissiotraransducer the output of which is constant over a i wide frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 kHz and is, for example, S104 N/m 2 The advantageous development of the transmission antenna according to the invention in accordance with claim 3 permits a thin-walled construction of the hollow ring which, due to its elliptical cross-section, precludes buckling even at large oscillation amplitudes. The advantageous development of the transmission antenna according to claim 4 permits a simple assembly of the transmission transducer, the pre-tensioning of which can be adjusted by the screw connection.
According to the advantageous development of the transmission antenna in accordance with claim 5 the hollow ring is made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy to keep the weight of each transmission transducer low.
By filling the hollow spaces of the hollow ring with foam material or metal foam according to the advantageous developments of the transmission antenna in accordance with the B' claims 6 and 7, the impedance of the transmission transducer, which depends from the ratio of its diameter to the wave length, is adjusted to suit the wave resistance of the water and a buoyancy is produced. When the hose of the transmission antenna is additionally filled with a fluid, as this is known S in conjunction with trailing antennas for a further increase of the buoyancy, the hollow ring has a compensating orifice for the fluid exchange when the transmission antenna is towed at different trailing depths.
According to the advantageous development of the transmission antenna according to the invention in accordance with claim 9 the hose is filled with a gel, which is liquid during the filling and afterwards settles into its jelly-shaped state. The advantage of using gel instead of oil is that in the case of the hose becoming damaged no environmental pollution will be caused by the oil and the gel has a self-healing affect.
id The invention is described in detail based on an embodiment for i a transmitting antenna of a sonar system to be towed by a watercraft. They show in:- Fig.l a sonar system with transmission antenna and trailing antenna for reception, Fig.2 a transmission transducer, and Fig.3 a sectioned illustration of the transmission transducer.
On a watercraft 1 a sonar system 2 is installed to determine target data of a ship or submarine. Sound pulses are emitted by a transmission antenna 3 and reflected portions are received by a trailing antenna 4. The transmission antenna 3 and the trailing antenna 4 are connected with the sonar system 2. With its antennas, from the sonar system 2, broadband sound waves S are emitted in a frequency range of 1-10 kHz and the reflected portions are received and evaluated.
The transmission antenna 3 contains in a hose a plurality of cylindrical transmission transducers, whose diameters are considerably smaller than their lengths. The diameter is, for i| example, 7 cm, its length is approx. ten times that. Such a transmission transducer is illustrated in Fig.2. The external J contour of the transmission transducer is barrel-shaped. The 2 5 acoustically active part is a piezo-ceramic hollow cylinder 11 or a pile of discs from piezo-ceramics. The hollow cylinder 11 has ring-shaped covers 12, 13 to produce a mechanical pretensioning. An outward arched external sheathing 14 surrounds the hollow cylinder 11. An internal sheathing 15 with a concave wall is in the interior of the hollow cylinder 11. The external i1 sheathing 14 and the internal sheathing 15 are joined with each S: other via the covers 12, 13 and form a hollow ring having an i essentially elliptical cross-section. The pre-tensioning on the hollow cylinder 11 is exerted by means of a screw connection 16, 17. The hollow spaces 19, 20 of the hollow ring between the external sheathing 14 and the hollow cylinder 11 as well as between the internal sheathing 15 and the hcllow cylinder 11 are filled with foam material, which is electro-deposited on Sand serves for the adjustment of the the hollow cylinder 1dc to suit the wave impedance of the transmission transducer to suit the wae resistance Z of the water. The hose, which accommodates a plurality of such transmissio trn er fillin and wsethes S el, which has low viscositY during the filling and settles after a certain eriod after the filling. Such a gel is selfhealing when the hose of the transmission antenna becomes damaged.
a sinusoidal alternating current is STo transmit elctrodesto the outside and inside jacket of connected via electrodes c C l a the hollow cylinder the hollow cylinder I, which AC will cause the hollow cylinder Soscllate acylind t carry out a sinusoidal axial movement X.
The axial movement X leads to a radial movement of the external The axial move e n t X a in t era hathing 15 of the hollow sheathing 14 and of the internal sheathing 15 of the hollo S" ring, which is grater by the ratio of a to b, wherein a is the height of the transmission transducer and b is the difference o the dia t of the external sheathing and the internal hof the di.amet ue of this movement transformation it is sheathing. Y virtue of this anq with S possible to produc sound aves in a wide frequency range with a hollow piezo-ceramic cylinder 11, the diameter of which is th of the sound waves considerab smaller than the wave length of the sound waves.
n the case of an output of 10 kW/m 2 t be radiated, the in the case of an Outputf e(amplitude of the sound presure in the water is P (Z 1.2 105 Pa. The speed of sound V is joined with the i pressure of the sound through the wave resistance 1.5 1derivation kg/m of thewater and is determined from the time derivation sof thnu dal mvement Its amplitude depends from the of the sinusoidal movement X. encyc To produce a .2 os Pa in water, amplitude Xo of the movement and the frequency o sound pressure having an amplitude Po 1.2 0 Pa in water the l d of the movement in the water is the amplitude of the

Therefore the external sheathing 16 of the Stransmission transducer has to carry out a movement of 1 im to pm, depending from the frequency, to enable to radiate a broadband output of 10 kW/m 2 In the case of a ratio of a:b 10:1, a movement transformation of 1:10 is achieved, i.e. an axial movement X of the hollow cylinder 11 is transformed into a radial movement r 10 X of the hollow ring.
S Fig.3 shows a section across the transmission transducer with its external sheathing 14, the hollow cylinder 11 and its internal sheathing 15 in the region of the largest diameter of the transmission transducer.
