As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sound field detection method based on an ultrasonic transducer array, including a three-axis motion platform X-axis 3, Y-axis 4, Z-axis 5, a two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array 6, a multi-channel data acquisition device 7, and a main control device 8; the sound field to be measured is generated by a single-probe ultrasonic transducer 2 and a pulse excitation device 1; the single-probe ultrasonic transducer 2 and the two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array 6 are placed in water to facilitate the propagation of acoustic waves.
Selecting a single-probe
ultrasonic transducer 2 with the center frequency of 10MHz, and measuring the underwater soundSpeed c is 1540m/s, calculation
=154
In order to ensure the sound field detection precision, the interval between array elements is selected to be smaller than
=30.8
The two-dimensional
ultrasonic transducer array 6 is used for detecting a sound field, and the working bandwidth range of the two-dimensional
ultrasonic transducer array 6 needs to cover 10MHz, so that better sound signal receiving performance is obtained.
The excitation modes of the single-probe ultrasonic transducer 2 generally include two types, namely continuous excitation and pulse excitation, in the embodiment, the pulse excitation device 1 is selected for pulse excitation, the pulse excitation is a broadband short pulse signal, and a sound field generated by the pulse-excited ultrasonic transducer does not exist stably, so that the excitation synchronous signal of the pulse excitation device 1 needs to be connected to the multi-channel data acquisition device 7 to synchronize the acquisition of the sound field signal, and some multi-channel data acquisition devices may have a channel trigger acquisition function and may not need to be connected with the excitation synchronous signal.
As shown in fig. 4, the single-probe ultrasonic transducer 2 is aligned with the center of the two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array 6 and the detection surface of the two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array 6 is ensured to be parallel to the section of the detected sound field emitted by the single-probe ultrasonic transducer 2. As shown in fig. 3, a two-dimensional ultrasound transducer array 6 is mechanically connected to a Z-axis 4 of a three-axis motion platform, and is electrically connected to a multi-channel data acquisition device 7, and the multi-channel data acquisition device 7 is electrically connected to a main control device 8, the three- axis motion platform 3, 4, 5 selected in this embodiment has three scanning directions of XYZ, and the motion scanning mode and the positioning information thereof are operated by the device 8, and the main control device 8 is internally provided with motion control software and data processing software.
In this embodiment, a two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array is adopted6, when cross-section sound field detection is carried out, a sound field image of the whole surface can be collected through one-time excitation of the single-probe
ultrasonic transducer 2, then data are transmitted back to the main control equipment 8 for parallel sound field data processing, if a traditional sound field detection technology is adopted, S-curve scanning needs to be carried out on the sound field detection of one cross section by matching with two motion axes, each sound field detection point needs to be stopped, cross-section sound field detection with the same size is large in time consumption difference, data transmission sequence exists, and the time consumption of data processing cannot be reduced; when the three-dimensional sound field is detected, the two-dimensional
ultrasonic transducer array 6 moves along the
X axis 3 of the three-axis motion platform to be smaller than the
X axis 3
=30.8
The motion step scanning is needed, and if the three-dimensional sound field detection is implemented by adopting the traditional sound field detection technology, the time consumption is long for several days, and the time cost is too high.
The single section sound field signal collected by the two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array 6 is converted into three-dimensional matrix data for software processing, Matlab is selected as data processing software in the main control device 8, and an amplitude diagram and a phase diagram of the section sound field are obtained through matrix operation.
