Background
Ultrasonic level gauges are the fastest growing class of gauges in non-contact measurements. The distance measurement is realized based on the principle that ultrasonic waves generate reflection on the surface of a measured object and the function relation between the measured distance and time. The ultrasonic liquid level meter has the advantages of wide measurement range, no influence of medium density and dielectric constant on measurement and the like, is suitable for various measurement media such as gas, liquid or solid, has wide application range, comprises various different occasions such as a water channel, an oil tank, an air tank and the like, and can also be applied to liquid level measurement such as viscous, corrosive and toxic liquid.
Chinese patent "an ultrasonic wave level gauge improved oscillator structure" (201721392541.9) has proposed an ultrasonic transducer structure that can improve the gauge blind area, through increasing a layer and strengthening the back of the body and weighing the glue, the purpose is to improve the absorption efficiency of the backward sound wave, reduce its influence to the blind area. However, since the ultrasonic transducer has its inherent transient characteristic, it usually needs a plurality of driving pulses to achieve stable signal output, and therefore, the improvement effect of the dead zone is limited only by accelerating the attenuation of the trailing signal.
The blind area and the acting distance of the ultrasonic liquid level meter are closely related to the working frequency, and generally speaking, the blind area and the acting distance of the liquid level meter are small when the liquid level meter works at high frequency; when the liquid level meter works at a low frequency, the dead zone of the liquid level meter is large, and the acting distance is large. The ultrasonic liquid level meter working at a single frequency point can give consideration to certain blind areas and action distances simultaneously through optimized design, but cannot realize small blind areas and large action distances simultaneously, so that an ultrasonic transducer working at multiple frequency points needs to be developed.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the requirements, the patent aims at improving the measurement range and the blind area of the ultrasonic liquid level meter and provides an ultrasonic transducer with multi-frequency-point operation and a nested structure thereof. The multi-frequency point design is based on the following purposes that when the liquid level is low, a high-frequency point is utilized to work, the period of high-frequency ultrasonic waves is short, the attenuation speed is high, the blind area can be effectively reduced, and the measurement precision can be improved; when the measuring system needs to work in a large range, the measuring system can work in a low-frequency band, the low-frequency ultrasonic wave penetration capacity is high, the attenuation in the transmission process is small, the transmission distance is longer under the excitation of the same voltage, and the liquid level measurement in the large range is favorably realized. The structure can be used for an embedded water level meter and the like, and is used for liquid level measurement of a water channel, a road surface, a river and the like; the ultrasonic liquid level meter can also be used for other ultrasonic liquid level meters and is used for liquid level measurement of storage tanks, containers and the like.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the thickness of the first filling body in the circular area in the center of the shell cover plate of the nested structure is smaller, and the thickness of the second filling body in the peripheral circular area is larger. The first filling body uses a piezoelectric sheet which is transmitted and received by high frequency as an exciting element, and the second filling body uses a piezoelectric wafer or a piezoelectric ring with lower frequency as an exciting element, thereby realizing double-frequency-point work. The nested structure of the invention can be further expanded to a 3-layer or more nested structure; when the liquid level is low, the high-frequency point is utilized to work, the high-frequency ultrasonic wave period is short, the attenuation speed is high, the blind area can be effectively reduced, and the measurement precision can be improved; when the measuring system needs to work in a large range, the measuring system can work in a low-frequency band, the low-frequency ultrasonic wave penetration capacity is high, the attenuation in the transmission process is small, the transmission distance is longer under the excitation of the same voltage, and the liquid level measurement in the large range is favorably realized.
