Abstract
The invention provides a housing structure of an ultrasonic transducer. According to the housing structure of the ultrasonic transducer, a housing is a column body; two ends of the housing are opening ends which are inwards concave and provided with central holes. The housing structure is characterized in that the housing is a step type column body; at least one group of self-damping plates is arranged in the middle of the housing; the self-damping plates and the housing are integrally machined through the same material; and clearances are formed between the self-damping plates and the housing on two sides thereof. Two to three groups of self-damping plates are arranged; the self-damping plates are circular, or the surfaces on the two sides of the self-damping plates are in the shape of waves, or the two sides of the self-damping plates are in the shape of concave surfaces. For an emitting energy exchanger, the self-damping plates are used for reducing and even removing outward interference signals so as to prevent interference signals from being propagated to the outside or reduce the outward signal propagation; and for a receiving energy exchanger, the self-damping plates are used for reducing and even removing the rest outward interference signals and random interference signals so as to prevent the outward interference signals from being propagated or reduce the propagation to a receiving vibrator subassembly.
Description
Technical field
The present invention is the housing that ultrasonic transducer is used, particularly to the improvement of its structure.
Background technology
Present (gas) ultrasonic flow meter, the parts of most critical are ultrasonic transducer.Its specific works situation is, when ticker under activation voltage, do the porpoise campaign, and produce forward useful signal and produce backward unofficial biography undesired signal (also claiming unwanted signals).This unwanted signals can pass to coupled transmitting transducer shell, is delivered on the measuring tube, and then is delivered to accepting on the transducer enclosure of another correspondence with measuring tube, is delivered to and accepts on the ticker assembly.
The speed that acoustic wave energy is propagated in gas is approximately 300～600m/s, and the speed of propagating in metal is approximately 3000～6000m/s.Useful signal V
oTravel path be transmitting transducer and accept air line distance L between the transducer
1, the medium of its approach is the tested gas in the measuring tube; Unofficial biography undesired signal V
1Travel path be transmitting transducer and accept the distance L that metal between the transducer connects
2(be approximately 2 times L
1) medium of its approach is metal.So at useful signal V
oWhen transducer P002 is accepted in arrival, unofficial biography undesired signal V
1Reach already and accept transducer, and caused the vibration of accepting to accept in the transducer ticker assembly; Acoustic wave energy attenuation rate in gas decays with how much multiples simultaneously, and the attenuation rate of acoustic wave energy in metal decays with arithmetic value.That is to say, unwanted signals (unofficial biography undesired signal) not only arrives than useful signal is early, and signal intensity also wants large many.
In addition, pipeline can be caused by extraneous percussion vibration etc. and passes undesired signal in random, and also random being added in accepted on the transducer simultaneously, therefore in the signal after useful signal and unofficial biography undesired signal, interior biography undesired signal are synthetic, will be difficult to recognize useful signal.
At present, the main method that solves unofficial biography undesired signal and interior biography undesired signal is, in the housing of transducer in, the rubber lining of filling cyath vin type.This wine glass-shaped rubber lining is a kind of absorbing material.The ultrasonic transducer housing of this structure, can reduce on the one hand passing undesired signal in the unofficial biography undesired signal, but also can absorb the vibrational energy of ticker assembly when vibration simultaneously, reduce vibrating effect, reduce the intensity of useful signal, and then caused the accuracy rate of measurement data to reduce.
Summary of the invention
Shortcoming in view of above-mentioned prior art exists the invention provides a kind of improved casing structure of ultrasonic energy converter.
A kind of casing structure of ultrasonic energy converter, housing are right cylinder, and two ends are the open end of indent, and are provided with center pit, it is characterized in that, housing is the step right cylinder; At the middle part of housing, be provided with at least by one group of self-damping plate, self-damping plate and shell are that the same material one processes; Gapped between the housing of self-damping plate and its both sides.
The present invention adopts a kind of and the method for transducer enclosure with the self-damping plate of material one processing, solves V
1(unofficial biography undesired signal) and V
2(Interior biography undesired signal) problem.
Principle of work of the present invention: transducer is in the emission situation, and the ticker assembly is done the porpoise campaign under activation voltage, and produces forward useful signal and produce backward unwanted signals (unofficial biography undesired signal).Owing to not having the absorbing material on every side, so its useful signal forward can not be absorbed, but all launches, injecting (gas or liquid) in the measured medium; Behind the approach measured medium, arrive in the transducer of the other end; Meanwhile, because when emission ticker assembly is done the porpoise campaign, produce simultaneously unwanted signals (unofficial biography undesired signal) backward, during the self-damping plate of this signal pathway transducer enclosure, its acoustic wave energy will make self-damping plate vibration-generating (swing), this vibration (swing) motion, to consume in a large number the energy of (absorption) unofficial biography undesired signal, produce the weakening effect, thereby reach minimizing, even eliminate the purpose of unofficial biography undesired signal.
Simultaneously, when the random interfering signal that caused by extraneous percussion vibration etc. when pipeline passed undesired signal namely, this random interfering signal also will be along the inverse path of unofficial biography undesired signal, by the self-damping plate arrival ticker assembly of transducer enclosure.In like manner, interior biography undesired signal also will by a large amount of consumption (absorption) in the self-damping plate, only have the ticker assembly in the arrival transducer seldom.
For transmitting transducer, the effect of its self-damping plate is to reduce, even eliminates the unofficial biography undesired signal, make it and can not propagate or blaze abroad less,
For receiving transducer, the effect of its self-damping plate is to reduce, even eliminates remaining unofficial biography undesired signal and random interfering signal, makes it to propagate or propagate into less to receive on the ticker assembly.
The weakening effect of self-damping plate is relevant with following factors:
1: the sheet number of self-damping plate is more, the unofficial biography undesired signal of its consumption (absorption) and interior biography undesired signal energy are just more, the weakening effect is just better, but too many sheet number, although weakening is effective, but its processing and cost are again new problems, and through a large amount of experiment and calculating, the sheet number of self-damping plate gets final product with 2 to 3.
: 2: the inside and outside footpath ratio=d/D of self-damping plate, the d/D value is less, the weakening effect is just better, too little difficult processing, and easy fracture, thus with between d/D=0.3～0.4 for well.
3, the radius-thickness ratio=d/h of self-damping plate, the d/h value is larger, the weakening effect is just better, but is difficult for processing too greatly, and easy fracture, thus with between d/h=3～4 for well.
4, the shape of self-damping plate can have multiplely, and namely the profile of self-damping plate is disc, or the both side surface of self-damping plate is corrugated, or the both sides of self-damping plate are concave shape.
