Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater acoustic engineering, and particularly relates to a low-directivity fluctuant arc-shaped transmitting transducer array.
Background
The acoustic wave is the only information carrier capable of transmitting in a long distance in the water medium, so that the underwater acoustic technology becomes the most effective means for transmitting and acquiring underwater information, and the transducer is used as a window for interaction of underwater acoustic equipment and underwater sound field information and is a key part for transmitting and sensing the information of the underwater acoustic equipment. The transducer is a core component of a sonar system, realizes unidirectional or bidirectional energy conversion of sonar electrical signals and underwater acoustic signals, and plays a decisive role in sonar performance.
The arc transmitting transducer array is a transducer array commonly used in a sonar system, is generally formed by arraying piezoelectric ceramic particles along an arc direction, has the characteristics of large directional opening angle and irrelevant opening angle with frequency, and has the working frequency of tens of kHz to hundreds of kHz. The arc transmitting transducer is widely applied to the fields of multi-beam depth finders, image sonars, detection sonars and the like.
The horizontal directivity of the arc transmitting transducer array is a constant beam opening angle, but continuous fluctuation exists in the beam range, the oscillation amplitude is gradually increased from the center to two sides, the fluctuation is maximum at the edge of the beam, and the fluctuation usually reaches about 6dB, because the arc transmitting transducer array is influenced by the half-wave band of the end point. This situation can cause the arc-shaped transmitting transducer to radiate unevenly when in use, resulting in fluctuations in the signal size received by the receiver, thereby degrading the image quality.
In order to reduce the directional fluctuation of the arc-shaped transmitting transducer array, many researchers have conducted weighting processing on the transducer array, and piezoelectric ceramic particles, electrodes and the like, in order to reduce the influence of the endpoint half-wave band. The weighting of the piezoelectric ceramic particles requires that a signal wire is led out from each piezoelectric ceramic particle, so that the manufacture of an arc-shaped transmitting transducer array is very difficult and almost impossible; and weighting the electrodes, adding a manufacturing mold and adding a process manufacturing part. By controlling the center distance of the piezoelectric ceramic particles, weighting design is carried out on the array center distance, so that the method is easy to realize, and meanwhile, the satisfactory effect of reducing the arc-shaped directional fluctuation can be easily obtained.
In the prior art, as an invention patent "an arc array of transducers and a manufacturing method" introduces a manufacturing method of the arc array, the directivity fluctuation of the arc transducer array manufactured by the method is calculated to be 5.5dB under the condition that the ceramic elements are uniformly arranged, and the larger fluctuation brings larger influence on the application of the arc transducer. For a low-directivity fluctuant arc-shaped transmitting transducer array, the products of the same type as the low-directivity fluctuant arc-shaped transmitting transducer array are not found at present, and the methods of the same type are not found in documents and literatures.
