Piezoelectric transducer with flexible pre-tightening mechanism and isolating sheet
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to a piezoelectric transducer with a flexible pre-tightening mechanism and a spacer.
Background
The piezoelectric transducer is generally composed of a back plate, an ultrasonic vibrator, an amplitude transformer, a fixing pin and a bonding tool. Piezoelectric transducers convert electrical energy into mechanical vibration by using the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics having the same resonance frequency as the piezoelectric transducer. Therefore, as an energy conversion device, a piezoelectric transducer functions to convert an input electric power into a mechanical power (i.e., an ultrasonic wave) for output.
However, in the existing piezoelectric transducer, the back plate and the ultrasonic vibrator and the amplitude transformer and the ultrasonic vibrator are directly connected, and are not electrically isolated; because the backboard and the amplitude transformer are connected as the zero position, the ground noise is easily introduced, the zero position level is influenced, and the output of the ultrasonic vibrator is influenced. In addition, because the electrodes in the ultrasonic vibrator have a certain thickness which cannot be ignored, the double-layer electrodes can cause the ultrasonic vibrator to be asymmetric, and the output of the ultrasonic vibrator is influenced.
In addition, the existing transducer generally has no pre-tightening mechanism, and can only be installed in an installation space as large as the size of the transducer or an installation space larger than the size of the transducer; when the reserved installation space is small, only the smaller transducer can be replaced. In addition, because the existing transducer does not have a pre-tightening mechanism, the transducer can only be fixed through screws, the transducer cannot be pre-installed during installation to carry out alignment adjustment, when the installation position has deviation, the screws need to be loosened, and then the whole transducer is taken down to be installed again, so that the installation is difficult.
