Description

Multifunctional portable acoustic device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of sound field regulation and control application, and particularly relates to a multifunctional portable acoustic device.
Background
The ultrasound lays a foundation for the development of noninvasive medical instruments and is widely applied to the fields of clinical medical treatment and health. The ultrasonic wave is a sound wave with the vibration frequency higher than 20000 Hz, and the directivity is good, the tissue penetration capability is strong, and the local sound energy with high energy is easy to obtain, so that the ultrasonic wave is applied to numerous fields of ultrasonic cleaning, cavitation sterilization, nondestructive detection and the like by vast scientific researchers. Specifically, people use a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) transducer to kill tumor cells in a target area without damaging surrounding normal tissues, thereby realizing non-invasive treatment of tumor tissues. In clinical medicine, it is crucial to acquire highly localized sound field energy.
Medical ultrasonic waves are waves which are propagated in water and tissues based on vibration generated by a piezoelectric effect, and are widely applied to the fields of medical ultrasonic imaging and ultrasonic therapy because the medical ultrasonic waves are harmless to human bodies and can realize label-free treatment. But its application environment is severely limited due to its inherent acoustic propagation mode. For complex human tissue environments, it is not reliable to use only a single sound field construction mode. Peng-Qi Li et al propose a prototype of an ultra-thin super-surface that can efficiently generate a variety of ultrasound beams by amplitude modulation using a biologically inspired meta-skin mode. Specifically, by constructing a stable water/air interface on the substrate, the structural unit has super-hydrophobic characteristics and forms huge acoustic impedance mismatch with water and tissues, so that the acoustic energy transmission transmittance of the modified part approaches to 0.0001. Further, the erasable meta-skin can be flexibly processed into different patterns according to experimental requirements.
However, most of the conventional techniques are in experimental stages, and precise and label-free stimulation is realized by transmitting ultrasonic waves in an aqueous medium environment. Because the relative spatial positions among the components are not clear, the spatial freedom degree of the mask device is severely limited, and the portable use scene can not be met. Since the target organism needs to be stimulated in an experimental environment such as a petri dish, the ultrasonic energy will scatter when it encounters the elastic solid. In addition, because the mask plate structure is not hollow, the diffraction effect of ultrasonic waves on obstacles on a propagation path is very obvious, so that the energy of the ultrasonic waves is seriously attenuated, and the energy conversion efficiency of the ultrasonic waves cannot be improved.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The invention proposes a multifunctional portable acoustic device comprising: the acoustic matching structure comprises a vibration source, an acoustic matching layer, an acoustic insulating layer, a first mask, a second mask and a third mask, wherein the first mask, the second mask and the third mask have the same radius and the same thickness; the acoustic matching layer is a cylinder, and a vibration source is solidified at one end of the acoustic matching layer; the sound insulation layer is sleeved on the surface of each device; the vibration source is used for emitting ultrasonic waves with single and specific wavelength; the acoustic matching layer is used for coupling energy from a vibration source to the mask; the sound insulation layer is used for preventing vibration energy from diffusing to the periphery and fixing each device; the first mask is used for modulating a sound field to form a focused sound field; the second mask is used for modulating a sound field to form a vortex sound field; and the third mask is used for modulating a sound field to form a Talbot sound field.
The wavelength of the ultrasonic wave emitted by the vibration source and the mask plate meet the following relation:
Figure BDA0003686290830000051
wherein l m The radius of each ring zone of the first mask is represented by m, the sequence of the ring zones of the first mask is represented by f, the focal length of a focused sound field is represented by f, and the excitation wavelength of a vibration source is represented by lambda.
The length L of the matching layer satisfies a near field condition.
As shown in FIG. 1, the arbitrary function generator 1 is of the type RIGOLDG4162, the highest sampling rate is 500MSa/s, the highest output frequency can reach 160MHz, and the maximum output voltage is 10Vpp. In this embodiment, the arbitrary function generator 1 outputs a single pulse sine wave of 1MHz, with a pulse duration of 0.8s, an output voltage of 800mVpp, and a phase of 0.
The vibration source 2 is composed of piezoelectric ceramic plates, the resonant frequency of the piezoelectric ceramic plates is 1MHz, the thickness of the piezoelectric ceramic plates is 2mm, and the diameter of the piezoelectric ceramic plates is 25.4mm. By preparing the matching layer 3 and nesting it with the outer acoustic insulation layer 4, wherein the matching layer 3 is tightly bonded to the vibration source 2, the thickness of the matching layer 3 satisfies the near field condition. The acoustic insulation layer 4 is prepared by epoxy 3D printing and internally threaded for replacing and fixing the mask 5.
In order to realize a plurality of different patterned sound fields for biostimulation, a hollow structure is prepared by using laser according to mask patterns (a first mask 6, a second mask 7 and a third mask 8 in fig. 2) drawn by computer-aided software, and then the hollow structure is subjected to nanoparticle surface modification treatment so as to meet the boundary condition of impedance mismatch.
When the invention is used for realizing the portable replaceable mask and further application, the steps are as follows:
1. assembling each component for standby and connecting the signal excitation source;
2. determining a mode of a required sound field according to the shape of a required organism;
3. the threaded link mask 5 is replaced by the target mask.
Fig. 3 shows the test effect of the sound field modulated by the underwater test device, which corresponds to the modulated sound field of each mask in fig. 2.
In the fluid environment of tissue or blood, the piezo ceramic element as a radiation source can be considered as a water-like investigation medium. Therefore, it is important to find a material with equivalent acoustic impedance as a matching layer to provide lossless transmission of vibration to achieve the local effect of ultrasonic energy.
The invention selects Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a matching layer, and analyzes the transmission loss based on the following acoustic theory:
in a homogeneous medium R 0 =ρ 0 c 0 Medium (medium in the invention is water environment), inserted with Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), thickness L, and impedance R 1 =ρ 1 c 1 Solving a one-dimensional acoustic wave equation under the assumption of linear small amplitude:
Figure BDA0003686290830000061
given the assumption of small amplitudes, partial reflections and partial transmission of the acoustic wave into another medium usually occur due to the different material impedances at the two sides of the interface:
Figure BDA0003686290830000062
Figure BDA0003686290830000063
wherein, P 1 Comprising waves travelling in the direction of incidence and parts of waves, P, encountering reflections from different media 2 Only the acoustic wave transmitted into the medium PDMS is represented.
According to the equation of motion
Figure BDA0003686290830000064
The quality of which can be solved by equation (2)Point speed:
Figure BDA0003686290830000065
Figure BDA0003686290830000066
Figure BDA0003686290830000067
according to the sound pressure continuity at the interface and the normal direction particle velocity continuity condition p 1 =p 2 ;v 1 =v 2 It is possible to obtain a mixture satisfying, in the surrounding medium 1 and in the PDMS medium 2: p is a radical of i1 +p r1 =p t1 ;v i1 +v r1 =v t1
Further, the ratio of the reflection sound pressure, the transmission sound pressure and the incident sound pressure at the interface is obtained:
Figure BDA0003686290830000071
wherein the impedance is represented as
Figure BDA0003686290830000072
R i =ρ i c i
Wherein the water has a density of 1000kg/m at 20 deg.C 3 The sound velocity is about 1500m/s; PDMS density 1070kg/m 3 The speed of sound is about 1030m/s. At room temperature, the impedance of the insertion medium PDMS is matched to the surrounding medium environment, i.e. R 1 =R 0 (ii) a At this time r p =0;t p =1; that is, PDMS is an acoustically transparent material, and the ultrasonic waves excited by the transducer are still completely transparent after passing through the PDMS, and hardly reflect. PDMS is therefore the preferred material for the acoustic matching layer. But not limited to, materials having impedance characteristics similar to those of water/biological tissue, e.g. hydrogel materialsIt has better impedance matching condition with water and tissue.
To verify the feasibility of the embodiments of the present invention, the behaviours of C.elegans were studied. FIG. 4 is a graph of experimental stimulation of selected example C.elegans as the preferred organism. In the experiment, t is selected 1 ,t 2 ,t 3 ,t 4 And (4) researching the behavioral locus of the four time points. Wherein, the parameters of the ultrasonic stimulation configuration are single pulse, 0.8s and central frequency of 1MHz. Under the parameter, the negative sound pressure measured by the calibrated hydrophone is close to 0.74MPa. Experiments show that when caenorhabditis elegans freely crawls into an ultrasonic focusing area, the behavior of the caenorhabditis elegans is sensitively changed due to the mechanical stimulation effect of ultrasonic energy, namely, the caenorhabditis elegans tends to an area without ultrasonic effect. Furthermore, it was experimentally found that the stimulatory effect of the device on a single independent C.elegans caused a behavioural reversal efficiency as high as 81.8%.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
