Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic sensors, in particular to an underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor, a system and a robot.
Background
The ultrasonic sensor sends out an ultrasonic signal with a certain frequency, receives an echo signal, and obtains the distance between an object causing signal reflection and the sensor through the time difference of sending and receiving the signal, so the scheme is commonly used for foreign body detection or distance detection in the field of artificial intelligence. Generally, the higher the ultrasonic frequency sent by the sensor is, the more beneficial to detecting a near-distance object is, and the higher the sensitivity to the near-distance object is, the faster the intelligent device can perform corresponding processing, so that the frequency of the ultrasonic sensor is continuously increased in the industry to detect the near-distance object.
However, as the frequency increases, the shorter the time for the measured object to return to the echo signal is, and in the limit condition, the aftershock of the ultrasonic sensor itself is not finished, the echo signal has already arrived, and the aftershock and the echo signal are superposed, which may affect the accuracy of the distance measurement. Therefore, when considering to increase the ultrasonic frequency, all manufacturers consider to enhance the echo signal, which is beneficial to accurately acquiring the echo signal.
The prior art discloses a patent of "a high frequency sensor and a manufacturing method thereof" (publication number CN 113866772A), in which a piezoelectric ceramic plate is connected with one surface of a second matching layer, and the other surface of the second matching layer is used for transmitting ultrasonic signals outwards, and the sensor further comprises a damping glue layer, the damping glue layer is arranged at the outer side of the second matching layer, and an arc line structure is arranged on the damping glue layer. From above-mentioned patent can see, piezoceramics piece passes through the transmission medium of second matching layer with vibration signal transmission to external world, in order to reduce the aftershock, increases high frequency ultrasonic sensor's echo signal, through set up the pitch arc structure on the damping glue layer for the outside of shell is extended to as far as possible to the second matching layer.
Therefore, the design direction in the field is more to make the piezoelectric ceramic piece fully contact with the transmission medium as much as possible, and structurally, the interference on the external propagation of the vibration signal of the piezoelectric ceramic piece is reduced as much as possible.
However, when the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is used for underwater ranging, a new problem is brought, the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is a charged component, the tightness of the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor needs to be kept when the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is used underwater, but the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is separated from the idea that the second matching layer on the piezoelectric ceramic piece needs to be contacted with a transmission medium as much as possible, the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is directly placed in a closed space, although the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor is waterproof, the transmission of a vibration signal of the piezoelectric ceramic piece is also hindered, and therefore an improvement point needs to be found from the structure, and the high-frequency ultrasonic sensor can also be used for underwater short-distance ranging.

And (3) encapsulating the sensor semi-finished product subjected to the steps by using an encapsulating adhesive 9, and encapsulating the whole sensor into a totally enclosed sensor so as to ensure that the sensor does not have water leakage and short circuit in the working process of a complex environment.
In some examples, the backing damping layer 4 has an acoustic impedance in the range of 2-10Mrayl for damping piezoelectric ceramic vibrations, absorbing unwanted vibrations, and the use of a backing damping layer 4 with a thickness greater than twice the sensor emission wavelength is optimal.
In some examples, the material of the backing damping layer 4 is one or more of silicon rubber, epoxy resin, glass beads and tungsten powder.
In some examples, the piezoceramic wafers 2 used have a thickness in the range from 0.4mm to 5mm.

One sensor housing side thread design is shown in fig. 2.
Example 2
As can be seen from fig. 1 and 3, the underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor comprises a shell 1, a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2, adhesive glue 3, a backing damping layer 4, a positive wire 5, a negative wire 6, a PCB 7, a lead 8 and a potting adhesive 9. Piezoceramics piece 2 is through anodal electric wire 5, the welding intercommunication of negative pole electric wire 6, and piezoceramics piece 2 is connected to the lower terminal surface 102 of shell 1 through the bonding glue 3 of solidification, back lining damping layer 4 embedment to piezoceramics piece 2's upper surface after the bonding glue 3 solidification, anodal electric wire 5, negative pole electric wire 6 of being drawn forth by piezoceramics piece 2 are connected to PCB board 7 one side, one side connecting wire 8, pouring sealant 9 is in embedment to sensor housing 1 after accomplishing above-mentioned step, and the upper surface of pouring sealant exceeds PCB board 7 after the embedment.

Example 3
A schematic structural diagram of an obstacle avoidance sensor system is shown in fig. 4, a sensor is installed at a test position, the distance between the sensor and an obstacle can be calculated by alternately transmitting and receiving ultrasonic sensors, adopting an ultrasonic detection technology, measuring the time difference between signal transmission and signal reception in one period of ultrasonic waves and measuring the temperature and density of a liquid medium.
The higher the frequency of the sensor per se, the smaller the angle detected in water, the higher the precision, the lower the frequency of the sensor per se, the larger the detection angle in water, and the lower the precision, and the angle and the precision can be controlled by changing the thickness, the diameter and the shape of the piezoelectric ceramic piece 2, so that the underwater sensor suitable for different working environments and different requirements can be manufactured in a targeted manner.
The thickness of the piezoelectric ceramic plate used in the underwater high-frequency ultrasonic sensor ranges from 0.4mm to 5mm, and in some examples, when the diameter of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 2 is 17mm and the thickness is 4mm, the detection angle of the sensor at-6 db can be measured to be 10.2 ° when pure water is used as a propagation medium at normal temperature and pressure, and the minimum detection accuracy of the sensor is 1.5mm when the sensor uses a transmit-receive integrated drive mode.

In some examples, a thin layer of anticorrosive material may be coated on the surface of the sensor housing 1 to ensure that the sensor does not have performance mutation caused by corrosion of the housing 1 during long-term underwater operation, thereby improving reliability of the sensor.
The obstacle avoidance sensor system shown in fig. 4 comprises an underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor and a control circuit, wherein the underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor transmits ultrasonic transmitting waves to the outside under the control of the control circuit and receives reflected waves fed back by an obstacle; and the control circuit controls the system to avoid the obstacle according to the reflected wave. The underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensors are four, the four sensors are arranged oppositely, and the controller is electrically connected with the four sensors through sensor connecting wires. The four ultrasonic sensors just correspond to four directions, and omnibearing obstacle avoidance ranging detection of the obstacle avoidance sensor system can be realized. A flow chart of an underwater detection method of an obstacle avoidance sensor system is shown in fig. 5.
In some examples, in the practical application process of the four-direction obstacle avoidance sensor system composed of four sensors and a control circuit, because the detection mode of the sensor is a receiving and transmitting integrated type (the same sensor sends out an ultrasonic signal and then receives a reflected signal fed back by an obstacle, the receiving and transmitting integrated type), the detection precision of the sensor is influenced by the aftershock of the sensor, the range of the aftershock T is 10um-300um, and the water sound velocity V under normal temperature and normal pressure is V w =1500m/s. The blind area range D = V influenced by aftershock can be obtained W T/2, between 7.5 and 225mm, and the magnitude of aftershock is in direct proportion to the magnitude of voltage driving the ceramic plate, wherein the larger the voltage is, the larger the aftershock is, and the lower the voltage is, the lower the aftershock is.
In some examples, the driving voltage range of the sensor can be from 1v to 1/2 of the withstand voltage of the ceramic chip, and the driving voltage range of the sensor is 1v-2000v by a one-millimeter thick ceramic chip with the withstand voltage of 4000v/mm, but the follow-up vibration is increased along with the increase of the detection distance, so that the detection blind area is enlarged. Meanwhile, the detection precision of the sensor is also related to the scanning precision of the sensor receiving circuit.
FIG. 6 is an impedance scan curve of an underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor in an underwater detection robot; it can be seen that the actual resonant frequency point of the transmitted signal of the sensor is 485kHz and the anti-resonant frequency point is 555kHz. Fig. 7 is a line graph drawn by using the underwater detection high-frequency ultrasonic sensor of the invention in water, wherein one sensor transmits signals with different frequencies, and the other sensor receives signals according to the amplitude of the received signals. When a test mode that one sensor transmits and one sensor receives is used, along with the change of the driving frequency of the transmitting sensor (abscissa), the amplitude of a signal received by the receiving sensor can also correspondingly change, the strongest position of the signal is just positioned near the anti-resonance frequency 555k of the sensor, the basic rule of the ultrasonic sensor correlation test is met, and the more the transmitting driving frequency is close to the anti-resonance frequency of the receiving sensor, the stronger the starting signal is.
Compared with an underwater sensor using a multilayer matching layer and a shell, the sensor has the advantages that the depth of underwater detection is deeper due to a fully-closed process, the reliability of the sensor is higher, the manufacturing, maintenance and replacement costs are lower, and the sensor is suitable for large-scale use.
The obstacle avoidance sensor system shown in fig. 4 is installed in the underwater robot structure and can be installed around the underwater robot to improve the autonomous recognition or obstacle avoidance function of the robot, and the detection capability of the robot can be further improved by adopting an array installation mode.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
