For example, the vacuum of the epoxy resin adhesive of low-viscosity or low pressure degasification can be carried out before building mould pouring into, also can carry out after building mould pouring into.
Provide a concrete example below again, the step that adopts cutting-completion method to prepare the two-layer piezo-electricity composite material of 3-1 type of the present invention is described.
1) two blocks of piezoelectric crystals of preparing processing, as shown in figure 10, i.e. ground floor piezoelectric 101 and second layer piezoelectric 102.As shown in figure 11, on the bonding plane of the piezoelectric crystal that two preparations are processed, the preparation conductive electrode, it is adjacent surface electrode 104, and adjacent surface electrode 104 is extended to the side of piezoelectric crystal, as shown in figure 11, also can be that the side electrode 105 that ground floor piezoelectric 101 is connected is set respectively, and the side electrode 106 that is connected at the adjacent surface electrode of its adjacent layer piezoelectric.
This step, be on the bonding plane of the piezoelectric crystal that two preparations are processed, to prepare conductive electrode, and electrode is extended to the side of piezoelectric crystal, an interface that is used to connect electricity promptly is set in the side, more particularly, be the conductive region that is used for external wire, thereby introduce the excitation signal of telecommunication or draw the response signal of telecommunication; Adjacent surface electrode and side electrode can pass through on two surfaces up and down of piezo-electricity composite material, brushing conducting metal paste materials, and perhaps bonding conductive solids metal level perhaps adopts the method formation conductive film or the thick film of physics or chemistry to prepare.
2) as shown in figure 12, adopt the epoxy resin adhesive of low-viscosity, two blocks of piezoelectric crystals of preparing processing are bonded together by opposite polarised direction; And thin as far as possible by the epoxy resin adhesive assurance thickness of adhibited layer of low-viscosity, generally be lower than 100 microns, be more preferably, be lower than 10 microns.This example adopts epoxy resin as filler, and the present invention does not limit the use of filler.
3), cut out as shown in figure 13, for building several trough epoxy resin, that connect along the cutting of piezoelectric crystal material polarised direction along direction perpendicular to piezoelectric crystal polarization; Can cut sidewards, can endwaysly cut yet, the present invention does not do outer restriction to this; Obtain the piezoelectric crystal 100 of well cutting at last.
This step, use cutting tool, to choose perpendicular to a direction of piezoelectric crystal polarization piezoelectric crystal is cut, cutting not exclusively connects piezoelectric crystal in this direction, and cutting runs through fully in the direction along the piezoelectric crystal polarization.Like this, just can obtain the piezoelectric crystal 100 of three-dimensional communication.
4) as shown in figure 14, the piezoelectric crystal of well cutting is placed build mould 200; The general selection by with behind the employed epoxy resin cure mould of building that strong sticking glutinous material makes not taking place, these materials can be polytetrafluoroethylene etc.
Like this, this build epoxy resin after mould and the employed curing do not take place strong sticking glutinous, thereby make its piezo-electricity composite material that breakage can not take place with moulding, separation smoothly.
5) configure the epoxy resin adhesive 210 of low-viscosity.For example, the epoxy resin adhesive each several part of the low-viscosity proportioning according to operation instruction is configured, and evenly stirs.
6) as shown in figure 14, the epoxy resin adhesive 210 of the low-viscosity that configures poured into build in the mould, and epoxy resin adhesive is carried out degassing processing in being not more than the hypobaric of 20kPa; Preferably carry out degassing processing in a vacuum; Degassing processing is not till having bubble to overflow.As shown in figure 15, obtain the material 110 of moulding.
3-1 piezo-electricity composite material blank after the moulding with build mould separating after, can cut further, polish, process and other processing.
7) as shown in figure 16, treat that epoxy resin adhesive solidifies after, prepare conductive electrode on the two layers of surface up and down at composite material, promptly the working face electrode 203.Working face electrode 203 can pass through on two surfaces up and down of piezo-electricity composite material, and the method for brushing conducting metal paste materials or bonding conductive solids metal level or employing physics or chemistry forms conductive film or thick film and prepares.
The epoxy resin adhesive of low-viscosity is taked the indication of operation instruction curing time at normal temperatures, and the present invention does not limit this.
In sum, the present invention proposes a kind of novel 3-1 type multi-layer piezoelectric composite structure mode, replace 1-3 type piezo-electricity composite material, can be used for making multilayer ultrasonic transducer, also can be used for making miscellaneous equipment, for example transducer etc.The working face (side) that is applied to the 3-1 type piezo-electricity composite material of multilayer ultrasonic transducer can be circular, oval, also can be square, rectangle, parallelogram, can be applied to the monomer ultrasonic transducer, also can be applicable to ultrasound transducer array.Adopt said structure, 3-1 type piezoceramic multilayer piezo-electricity composite material of the present invention to have higher energy converting between mechanical efficient, lower density and acoustic impedance.Be easy to processing simultaneously, only need carry out the cutting of both direction piezoelectric crystal material.And can guarantee the piezoelectric crystal unit of each layer of multi-layer piezoelectric composite material centre and the accurate contraposition of piezoelectric crystal unit in the middle of the adjacent layer, avoided because the mutual contraposition of adjacent layer is inaccurate, the output signal of the ultrasonic transducer that is caused descends, and the problem of introducing other unwanted vibration mode.
The applied field of the present invention is an industrial nondestructive testing, biomedical imaging, diagnosis and treatment, and sonar technology etc. under water; In particular, the present invention can be applied to the linearity and the nonlinear change sign of defect detection, physical dimension measurement and the material mechanical characteristic of metal or nonmetallic materials and test specimen; The ultrasonic transducer of manufacturing of the present invention can be applied to the linearity or the nonlinear acoustics characteristic present of biological tissue or organ.
The present invention is adding on the technology simply, has avoided and solved the problem of the mutual contraposition of adjacent layer; Direction to the piezoelectric monocrystal cutting has only both direction, has saved process time and cost; And for the structure of new 3-1 type piezo-electricity composite material provides new thinking.
Should be understood that, for those of ordinary skills, can be improved according to the above description or conversion, and all these improvement and conversion all should belong to the protection range of claims of the present invention.
