Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasonic transducer (1) with a housing (2) having a plane bottom (3), which housing encases a piezo-electric ceramic disc (4) bearing on the housing bottom (3). Said bottom (3) forms a first electrical connection to said disc (4), with a spring (5) bearing on the disc (4). Opposite said disc (4) said spring (5) has contact with an electrically conducting means (7), thus forming a second electrical connection between the disc (4) and the electrically conducting means (7). In a non-connected state, the spring (5) presses the conducting means (7) to bearing against a locking means (8) with contact to the housing (2), thus short-circuiting the disc (4). At connection of a cable (9), the conducting means (7) is pressed free of the locking means (8), thereby forming an electrical connection between the cable (9) and the disc (4). Thus the electrical connection to the piezo-electric ceramic disc (4) takes place without soldering and the ultrasonic transducer (1) is short-circuited when the cable is removed.

Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to produce a kind of simple and cheap sonac, it can bear high pressure medium and can accurately work on a big temperature range, and this sonac has only some elements.
This task can solve with a kind of sonac that starts described type.When this sonac is in notconnect state, spring compressing conductive component make it to be bearing in the contacted Lock Part of shell on, thereby make the piezoelectric ceramic plate short circuit, and under the state that has connected a cable, oppressed and the parts that go out of lock of conductive component, thereby be formed on electrical connection between cable and the piezoelectric ceramic plate.
This makes does not need welding when being electrically connected with piezoelectric ceramic plate, sonac can not set up high voltage then by short circuit on piezoelectric ceramic plate after splitting out cable.Therefore just do not needed the high voltage protective circuit, and the electron device of having avoided connecting is subjected to any damage.Equally also eliminated the danger that the electrician of stube cable is shocked by electricity on sensor.
Short circuit between conductive component and Lock Part can utilize sensor is realized to the conductive seal of external environment condition deadend.This has guaranteed that foreign can not enter into sensor internal after the cable keeper is dismantled.Therefore, before other parts of assembling flow sensor, sensor outer housing can be welded on the tubular construction very early.
The thickness of outer casing bottom can be made to such an extent that mate with the ultrasound waves appearance of sheathing material, and piezoceramic disk vibrates with a resonance frequency of outer casing bottom like this, thereby vibration transmits with very little loss by the bottom.
Cable can be installed in one to be threaded in the keeper in the shell, keeper has the parts that are used for the cable stress relief and by a flange bearing is formed first electrical connection from first conductor of cable to shell on Lock Part, and second conductor dbus of cable is crossed center projections on the keeper and is formed second and be electrically connected, the projection of keeper and central cable during keeper is screwed in shell in compression spring press discs make it the parts that go out of lock.Do not need welding effectively cable connection like this with regard to having produced simple.In sonac, avoid using scolder, make sensor can be used under the hot environment that may make solder fusing.
The projection of keeper is made by an insulation body disc, insulation has one to be used to admit second conductor of cable and the central opening of a pressure lining on the body disc, the pressure lining be conduction and a central opening that is used to pass second conductor of cable also arranged.This just produces the direct connection from second conductor of cable to conductive component and continues by the connection of spring to piezoceramic disk.
The flange of keeper can have a neck, this neck has one to be used to admit second conductor of cable and the opening of cable insulation, and first conductor of cable extends in the outside, neck upper edge of flange, and the flange neck and first conductor can surround with a pipe.
Advantageously, cable has a resistant to elevated temperatures first, and this first cable section is connected with one second cable section by a cable assembly, and cable assembly comprises an electronic circuit.This means that electronic circuit can split out from sonac, sonac can be placed in the very high environment temperature then.
Advantageously, the electronic circuit of cable assembly comprises a coil that is used for impedance matching and is used for the coupling of a resonator system.Like this, piezoelectric ceramic plate and coil constitute an oscillator circuit together, its resonance frequency and the aligned phase signal that is input in the oscillator circuit.
Electronic circuit can be useful on along the parts of amplification and impedance transformation on the direction of sonac and stube cable.Therefore, the length of cable between electronic installation and sensor is non-key.
