Description

Ultrasonic transducer
The present invention relates to a kind of ultrasonic transducer, has a top quality, the deformation element of an end mass, an oscillating mass and two elastically deformables, wherein, between top quality and end mass, have the connecting elements of a rigidity, oscillating mass is located between top quality and the end mass, a deformation element is located between top quality and the oscillating mass, and deformation element is located between end mass and the oscillating mass and in the deformation element at least one and is produced element of transducer ultrasonic vibration or that receive ultrasonic vibration by one and constitute.For example EP 0 209 238A2 disclose a kind of such ultrasonic transducer.
In the past, comprise that the principle of work of the disclosed ultrasonic transducer of EP 0 209 238 A2 generally is based on, the size of ultrasonic transducer changes along a direction in space at least.This can be the length variations of ultrasonic transducer for example.Under the situation as ultrasonic receiver, the ultrasonic vibration that this length variations is passed through to be received is taken place.Under situation as ultrasonic generator, in ultrasonic transducer, have an element of transducer that produces ultrasonic vibration, this element of transducer causes the corresponding length variations of ultrasonic transducer.This ultrasonic generator generally is that the control voltage by a vibration is controlled, make ultrasonic generator finish a kind of and this vibration, be generally proportional, the mechanical vibration of sine-shaped control voltage.The corresponding conversion that controls signal to mechanical vibration by electricity is finished via an element of transducer of mentioning in front, and this element of transducer is for example constituted by a piezoelectric element.And prior art also discloses other element of transducer, such as those convert control signal vibration, electricity the element of transducer of mechanical vibration to by the device based on using magnetic force.
The ultrasonic vibration that is received by ultrasonic transducer by the ultrasonic vibration of ultrasonic transducer generating or under as the situation of ultrasonic receiver under as the situation of ultrasonic generator is sent to by ultrasonic transducer on another object or by this another object and receives, its concrete way is that ultrasonic transducer is fixedlyed connected with this object.For this reason, ultrasonic transducer can for example be with this object welding or be threaded with this object.But, also not necessarily leaveing no choice but to allow ultrasonic transducer directly be fixed on ultrasonic vibration should be by on feed-in this object in it or that ultrasonic vibration should be received.In other words, can stipulate to have the ultrasonic transducer of spacing with this object, wherein, the connecting elements that then to need between ultrasonic transducer and this object be the form of expression with a ultrasound wave conductor.
As previously mentioned, the principle of work of ultrasonic transducer is in the past built on following basis, and promptly in the course of the work, the length of these ultrasonic transducers changes.Should be under the situation on the object in it or that ultrasound wave should be received and be fixed on a ultrasound wave by feed-in at this ultrasonic transducer, by fixing, the mechanical property and the acoustical behavior of ultrasonic transducer change.In other words,, cause strong damping effect and attenuation effect sometimes, make the vibration performance of ultrasonic transducer that huge variation take place by the mechanical fixation of ultrasonic transducer on this object.In order still to be fixed on ultrasonic transducer effectively on the object, therefore, often need take expensive very big resonance coupling and/or impedance matching measure.And this generally means the expense of raising the cost and need expend for a long time when reinstalling this ultrasonic transducer at every turn.
Therefore, task of the present invention is to provide a kind of such ultrasonic transducer, the vibration performance of this ultrasonic transducer is not affected by the arrangement of this ultrasonic transducer on the object of an outside, and requirement of resonance coupling and/or impedance matching requirement are avoided.
Of the present invention, be characterised in that in order to the ultrasonic transducer that solves above task with respect to top quality and end mass, oscillating mass can freely be followed the vibration of the ultrasonic vibration that is produced or received by element of transducer.
Freely follow the ultrasonic vibration that is produced or received by element of transducer for the vibration that can make oscillating mass, requiring not, the masterpiece opposite with the free vibration of oscillating mass is used on the oscillating mass.In view of the above, be that a side and end mass and top quality are for existing the connection of rigidity between the opposing party particularly at oscillating mass.This also produces following result, promptly based on the vibration of following ultrasonic vibration of oscillating mass, does not produce the length variations of ultrasonic transducer generally.This overall length of ultrasonic transducer changes and is certain to be equivalent to the top quality with respect to the move toward one another of end mass or deviate from motion.And by oscillating mass be a side and top quality and end mass between the opposing party only via the coupling of deformation element, the vibration of carrying out based on oscillating mass, there is not to cause the top quality can be applied on top quality or the end mass with respect to the power of the relative motion of end mass, in view of the above, do not cause the length variations of ultrasonic transducer yet.
Now adopted notion " top quality " and " end mass ", but this does not mean that these members must be " heavy especially " quality.In other words, particularly with regard to top quality and end mass, they all are simple plates, and the quality of plate need only be so big, and promptly this plate is enough to use ideally ultrasonic transducer with the stability that this quality was produced under the condition of material and selected shape.Wherein, with regard to material, shape and/or the quality of itself, i.e. weight, end mass can be identical with the top quality, just, under the situation of the principle that can not have influence on invention, end mass also can be different with the top quality.Specifically, by the member as the mutual different structure of end mass or top quality, the vibration performance special, that adapt to the requirement that has nothing in common with each other of ultrasonic transducer can be reached.
Should different layouts can be arranged by on the feed-in object wherein or that ultrasonic vibration should be received for ultrasonic transducer of the present invention being fixed on a ultrasonic vibration.Ultrasonic transducer can be for example mechanically to be fixed on this object by the top quality.Ultrasonic vibration is then received by this object in this object of feed-in or through the top quality through the top quality.But the top quality also can be made of object itself, in this object feed-in by the vibration of ultrasonic transducer generating, perhaps receive by ultrasonic transducer ultrasonic vibration to be received.In view of the above, as if removed the top quality in the ultrasonic transducer on not being fixed on this object as yet, the final assembling of ultrasonic transducer is just finished by the arrangement of ultrasonic transducer on this object that does not have the top quality, and this object self plays the function of top quality subsequently.Last a kind of possibility is, via oscillating mass receiving in this object of ultrasonic vibration feed-in or by this object.For this reason, ultrasonic transducer is fixed on this object by oscillating mass, and the top quality is not connected with this object with end mass.In view of the above, at work, oscillating mass is maintained fixed with respect to this object, and top quality and end mass vibrate with respect to this object.
In principle, can there be stress ground to be provided with fully by the system that is constituted by the oscillating mass of deformation element encompasses, top quality and end mass.And a preferred form of implementation regulation of invention is to be clamped in tightly between top quality and the end mass in advance by the oscillating mass of deformation element encompasses.Specifically, can stipulate that being rigidly connected between top quality and the end mass is made of a bar, along vertically seeing of ultrasonic transducer, this bar is preferably disposed on central authorities.Top quality and end mass then can interconnect in advance tightly by this bar, make be arranged between top quality and the end mass, also be held tightly in advance by the oscillating mass of deformation element encompasses.The top quality with this connection of end mass reach corresponding pretension by prior art, such as the disclosed device of EP 0 209 238 A2 is realized.
As desired according to invention, oscillating mass can freely vibrate, have one above-mentioned, make under the situation of the bar that the top quality links to each other with end mass, realize that the favourable measure of the free vibration of oscillating mass is that oscillating mass is not fixedlyed connected with this bar.And wherein, oscillating mass is possible with contacting of this bar, thereby this contact is equivalent to the sliding contact when oscillating mass vibrates and is essentially oscillating mass play guide effect.Yet, except friction force that occur, little when this leads,, do not have other masterpiece to use on the oscillating mass by connecting link.For this reason, according to a preferred implementing form of invention, stipulate that this bar does not conjointly pass a preferably central hole that is provided with in oscillating mass with oscillating mass.In view of the above, if the diameter in the hole that is provided with in oscillating mass just is a bit larger tham the diameter of bar, then the guide function problem of bar also can be solved.
As previously mentioned, requiring at least one the deformation element in the deformation element is that available its produces element ultrasonic vibration or that ultrasonic vibration can be received.Such deformation element is a so-called activeleg, and second deformation element can be a so-called inert element, this inert element does not have to produce or receive the function of ultrasonic vibration just, thereby but can follow ultrasonic vibration passively and make oscillating mass desired by invention, become possibility with respect to the free vibration of top quality and end mass.Yet,, stipulate that two deformation elements that are located at the opposite side portion of oscillating mass respectively constitute by producing element of transducer ultrasonic vibration or that receive ultrasonic vibration, are activeleg according to a preferred implementing form of the present invention.
In view of the above, for example the symmetrical performance and the efficient of ultrasonic transducer of the present invention all improve.If ultrasonic transducer is a ultrasonic generator, then having under the situation of two activelegs as the deformation element, according to a preferred implementing form of the present invention, the element of transducer of regulation generation ultrasonic vibration can be so controlled, promptly when an element of transducer shortens, another element of transducer is extended simultaneously, and its prolongation amount equals the former shortening amount.In view of the above, oscillating mass by the invention desired, with respect to around, particularly the free vibration with respect to top quality and end mass is ensured simply.Therefore, oscillating mass is according to only to-and-fro movement within ultrasonic transducer of ultrasonic vibration, and this oscillating movement by oscillating mass, top quality and end mass then remain unchanged with regard to its mutual spacing, in other words, top quality and end mass do not carry out causing the relative motion of the length variations generally of ultrasonic transducer each other.
As element of transducer, in fact can adopt all elements that can be used as the ultrasonic transducer inverting element in the prior art.And according to a preferred form of implementation of inventing, regulation produces element of transducer ultrasonic vibration or that receive ultrasonic vibration and is made of piezoelectric element, wherein, a preferred form of implementation regulation, the polarity of the piezoelectric element that has on the polarity of the piezoelectric element that has on the side of oscillating mass and opposite side at oscillating mass is opposite.Thus, it should be noted that above mentioned piezoelectric element is also become by a plurality of single elements combination.Wherein, piezoelectric element for example is made up of piezoelectric ceramics.
If the polarity of the piezoelectric element on the polarity of the piezoelectric element on the side of oscillating mass and opposite side at oscillating mass is opposite, then according to a preferred form of implementation of inventing, regulation has a control electronic system, wherein, two element of transducers that produce ultrasonic vibration are controlled by the control signal that same Be Controlled electronic system produces.In view of the above, can guarantee best that the length variations of the element of transducer that has is accurately suitable mutually on the relative both sides of oscillating mass, and need not control signal is carried out change poles.
As previously mentioned, ultrasonic transducer of the present invention is that an oscillating mass can only be arranged.But such application scenario is arranged, and in these application scenarios, it is favourable adopting a plurality of oscillating mass.Can improve the efficient of ultrasonic transducer specifically in view of the above simply.If regulation has a plurality of oscillating mass, then the basic structure of ultrasonic transducer remains unchanged, in other words, ultrasonic transducer of the present invention is still by mutual rigidly connected top quality and end mass and defines, and regulation has the oscillating mass and the deformation element that are arranged alternately mutually between top quality and end mass.Wherein, for the ultrasonic transducer with a plurality of oscillating mass is worked effectively, preferably each oscillating mass has an activeleg at least as element of transducer on a side, promptly has one and produces element of transducer ultrasonic vibration or that receive ultrasonic vibration.
At last, according to a preferred form of implementation of the present invention, in a ultrasonic transducer with a plurality of oscillating mass, can stipulate, between two oscillating mass, have a fixed mass, the fixed form of this fixed mass is, different with oscillating mass, this fixed mass can not freely be followed ultrasonic vibration.For this reason, advantageously have between such fixed mass and top quality and the end mass mechanical fixation, i.e. connecting elements of rigidity basically, in view of the above, in fact such ultrasonic transducer is divided into a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, and these ultrasonic transducers have at least one oscillating mass respectively.It is evident that,, also can have a plurality of fixed masses according to a preferred form of implementation of the present invention.
