[ detailed description ] embodiments
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1-2, a pressure microphone testing device 1, wherein the device comprises a coupling chamber 4, a sound source 5 disposed in the coupling chamber 4, and a microphone (not shown) to be tested at a distance from the sound source 5. The coupling cavity 4 comprises a front cavity 2 and a rear cavity 3 fixedly connected with the front cavity 2, the front cavity 2 and the rear cavity 3 are fixedly connected and can be connected in a welding mode, a glue bonding mode and the like, in the embodiment, the front cavity 2 and the rear cavity 3 are fixedly connected through screws, a layer of sealing ring 6 is further arranged between the front cavity 2 and the rear cavity 3, and the sealing effect is better when the front cavity 2 and the rear cavity 3 are fixedly connected through the sealing ring 6. The diameter of back chamber 3 is greater than the diameter of front chamber 2, and sound source 5 is fixed to be set up in back chamber 3, and its fixed mode can be with welding mode, glue bonding mode etc.. Preferably, the sound source 5 abuts the front cavity 2. The back cavity is filled with sound absorption materials, such as sound absorption cotton and the like. The front cavity 2 is provided with an upper wall 22, the upper wall 22 is provided with a testing hole 21 penetrating through the upper wall 22, a microphone with pressure to be tested is placed in the testing hole 21, and sound pressure emitted by the sound source 5 reaches the microphone with pressure to be tested through the front cavity 2.
Specifically, the present embodiment is described by taking the test frequency band range of 100Hz to 20KHz as an example, which is only the normal operating frequency band range of the pressure microphone, and it is also feasible to exceed the frequency band range.
The sound source 5 forms a sound field in the front cavity 2 of the coupling cavity 4, but the sound pressure of the sound field is not uniformly distributed in the radial direction in the front cavity 2, the center sound pressure is high, the edge sound pressure is low, and the difference can be reduced by reducing the diameter of the coupling cavity 4. Therefore, the smaller the diameter of the coupling cavity, the better, but the size of the coupling cavity is larger than the size of the sound source 5 and the size of the microphone to be measured, so that the sound source can be arranged in the coupling cavity 4 and the microphone to be measured can be placed in the opened test hole 21.
For the conditions required for the test, the acoustic wave in the front chamber 2 is designed as a plane wave, so that the microphone to be measured can be placed approximately in the infinite free field, so that the conditions required for the test can be met. In addition to plane waves, standing waves may also be present in the front cavity 2. Standing waves can cause peaks and valleys in a sound field, so that the sound field is not uniform, and the testing precision is affected. The standing wave is generated under the condition thatWherein,length of front cavity 2, λ acoustic wavelength, c0Is the speed of sound, f is the acoustic frequency. To prevent standing waves from occurring, the front cavity 2 is designed to have a length less than 1/4 of the wavelength of the sound wave, i.e.,when the frequency band range is 100Hz-20KHz, the actual ideal working frequency range of the front cavity obtained by the frequency response curve of the sound wave is 100Hz-12kHz, and the frequency response curve outside the range generates oscillation. Comprehensively, the length of the front cavity 2 is designed according to the highest test frequency of 15 KHz. In fact, selectedThe highest test frequency is different, and the designed front cavity 2 is different in length, but the principle is the same.
The sound source 5 is a standard full-band speaker with a flat frequency response curve and small distortion, because the standard full-band speaker can easily provide a sound field meeting the required frequency in different frequency bands. Moreover, in order to improve the testing precision, the total harmonic distortion of the sound source 5 should be less than 0.5%, and the full-band speaker can easily meet the requirement. Of course, other speakers or microphones may be used as the sound source 5.
The test well 21 is cylindrical. Of course, the test well 21 may have other shapes. According to the shape of the microphone to be tested, the shape of the test hole 21 is designed to be consistent with the shape of the microphone to be tested, and the size of the test hole 21 needs to be slightly larger than that of the microphone to be tested, so that the microphone to be tested can be more easily placed in the test hole 21.
As shown in fig. 3-4, the testing hole 21 is provided with a hole wall 24, and the hole wall 24 is provided with a limiting step 23 protruding towards the axis of the testing hole 21. The limiting step 23 is used for limiting the microphone to be tested, so that the microphone does not fall into the coupling cavity 4 during testing.
Referring again to fig. 1-2, the rear chamber 3 is provided with a lead hole 32 penetrating the rear chamber 3, and the lead hole 32 is used to lead out a wire electrically connected to the sound source 5, so that a signal can be externally applied to the sound source 5. The back cavity is filled with sound absorption materials, such as sound absorption cotton and the like.
As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 5, the present invention further provides a testing method based on the pressure microphone testing device 1 provided by the present invention, which comprises the following steps:
providing a sound source 5, wherein the sound source 5 is a standard full-band loudspeaker;
providing a coupling cavity 4, wherein the coupling cavity 4 is provided with a front cavity 2 and a rear cavity 3 fixedly connected with the front cavity 2, a layer of sealing ring 6 is also arranged between the front cavity 2 and the rear cavity 3, the sealing effect is better when the front cavity 2 is fixedly connected with the rear cavity 3 through the sealing ring 6, the front cavity 2 is provided with a test hole 21, and the test hole 21 is provided with a limit step 23;
providing a microphone to be tested;
a signal source 8 is provided which is capable of providing 1/12oct frequency sweep signal with a power of 1mW and a frequency range of 100-20 kHz. The frequency sweep signal in this embodiment refers to a series of frequency points obtained at 1/12oct intervals in a frequency range, and a single frequency corresponding to these frequency points is transmitted in sequence from a low frequency to a high frequency, where oct is an octave. Of course, other intervals such as 1/3oct, 1/6oct, etc. may be used.
Providing an audio analyzer 7;
providing a standard microphone 9;
the sound field formed by the sound source 5 in the front cavity 2 of the coupling cavity 4 is collimated. Because the free field in the front cavity 2 is attenuated, when the sound pressure level is increased, the voltage of the sound source 5 needs to be increased, and at the moment, the total harmonic distortion of the sound source 5 is correspondingly increased, so that the test requirement cannot be met. The calibration steps are as follows:
A. the sound source 5 is placed in the back cavity 3, the signal source 8 is added to the sound source 5, the standard microphone 9 is placed in the test hole 21, the audio analyzer is connected 7 to the sound source 5 and the standard microphone 9, and the sound pressure emitted by the sound source 5 reaches the standard microphone 9 through the front cavity 2 of the coupling cavity 4. Obtaining a frequency response curve of the sound source 5 fed back by the standard microphone 9 through the audio analyzer 7;
B. taking the reciprocal of the frequency response curve to obtain an EQ (equal equalization curve, for short EQ curve) equalization curve of a sound field formed in the front cavity 2 by the sound pressure emitted by the sound source 5;
C. and multiplying the sweep frequency signal from the signal source 8 by the EQ equilibrium curve to serve as a new test signal to be fed back to the sound source 5, wherein the sound field formed by the sound pressure emitted by the sound source 5 in the front cavity 2 is the sound field required by the test.
In particular, sound pressure levelUnit dB, where PeIs soundEffective value of sound pressure, P, emitted by source 5ref=2×10-5For reference sound pressure, unit: pa. A sound pressure of 1Pa corresponds to a sound pressure level of 94 dB. In a conventional anechoic chamber, the sound pressure is 1Pa, and the sound pressure level of the sound source 5 is 94dB, and if 120dB sound pressure is to be obtained, the voltage must be increased to 20 times. Through experimental tests, the sound pressure level of 94dB can be obtained when the power of the sound source 5 is 1 mW. The sound source 5 uses standard full-band loudspeakers with a nominal power of 1-2W, so that the sound source 5 requires only a small power to obtain a high sound pressure sound field in the front cavity 2 of the coupling cavity 4.
After the sound field calibration, a sound field with a frequency response range of 100-20kHz and a sound pressure level of 94dB is obtained in the coupling cavity 4, and the jitter of the sound field is less than +/-0.2 dB. And on the basis of calibration, the voltage of the sound source 5 is increased to 20 times, so that a sound field with the sound pressure level of 120dB is obtained, the total harmonic distortion of the sound field is less than 1%, and the test condition is met. Even if the sound pressure of the sound field is increased to 140dB, the total harmonic distortion value is still less than 1%.
And replacing the standard microphone 9 with the pressure microphone to be tested, connecting the pressure microphone to be tested with the audio analyzer 7 and placing the pressure microphone to be tested in the testing hole 21, and analyzing the testing result through the audio analyzer 7.
Compared with the prior art, the pressure microphone testing device has small volume, is convenient to use, is not used in an anechoic chamber, and can easily obtain a high-sound-level sound field, so that the pressure microphone testing device can be used for large-scale testing on a production line and can accurately test the total harmonic distortion of the pressure microphone under high sound pressure.
While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
