Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piezoelectric contact microphone.
  • This sensor can be used as a laryngophone and as a bone or mechanical solidary vibration sensor.
  • the operation of the present invention will be described in its use as a bone vibration sensor when it is placed on the head at the top of the speaker's cranial box, the other uses being deduced in an obvious manner.
  • the transducer object of the present invention allows the transmission of the speech of a subject placed in unfavorable environmental conditions. It sometimes happens that in various circumstances it is not possible to use an ordinary proximity microphone.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a sensor contact microphone comprising a polymer piezo membrane with metallized faces disposed between a thin plastic plate and a plate acting as an "anvil", both provided with grooves on their facing faces which concentrically stretch the polymer piezo film and a electronic preamplifier circuit, characterized in that said membrane consists of a piezo-polymer film, the two faces of which are metallized forming the armatures of a capacitor so that the potential difference which is established between the two armatures constitutes the signal sent to the amplifier and from there to the outside, and also characterized in that the said membrane is slightly pretended by the grooves of the facing plastic plates.
  • the vibrations of the skull bones generated by the subject's voice are transmitted to the external hard plastic wafer.
  • This external plate being slightly projecting relative to the housing and having a thinned peripheral zone, moves around its rest position during vibrations.
  • the grooves of the two plates are offset, so that the projecting grooved part of the external plate, comes to fit in the groove of the groove of the internal plate and vice versa which keeps the piezo polymer film in permanent contact with the two plates.
  • any impulse transmitted by the cranial bone tends to push the projecting part into the groove of the internal plate which produces a deformation of the piezoelectric film.
  • this deformation generates electric charges on the faces of the piezo polymer film.
  • These charges collected by the metal faces of the film, create a potential difference, across the terminals of the polarized solid dielectric capacitor that constitutes the film used, which is amplified by the preamplifier built into the transducer.
  • the signal is then sent outside of said transducer.
  • the plastic plate situated outside 2 can be protected against any external attack as well as for reasons of comfort by a thin layer of protective material (rubber for example).
  • the invention may be better understood by referring to an exemplary embodiment which is in no way limitative in which the sensor assumes the cylindrical shape and in which the grooves of the two plates are concentric circles and which will be described below with reference to the figure. unique.
  • the piezo polymer film 5 with metallized faces 4 and 6 is held on the metal ring 7 of the lower plate 8 (provided with circular grooves 13) by the ring 7. Then stacked successively in the casing 1, the upper plate 2 (provided circular grooves 14), the piezo-polymer film assembly, housing, lower plate described above, a metal spacer 9 containing the preamplifier 11 and a closure part 10 pierced with holes 12 for the output of the conductors from the amplifier which transmit the signal received to the outside.
  • the sensitive piezo polymer film used consists of a piezoelectric polymer layer 5, each of the faces of which is metallized 4 and 6.
  • a vibration propagates through the bones of the skull and induces a displacement of the plate 2 and its projecting parts 14 relative to the part (8 with grooves 13) serving as anvil.
  • a series of sounds corresponding to a sentence will correspond to a succession of electrical signals.
  • the signal thus obtained will be too weak to be used directly.
  • This signal is therefore directed to a correcting preamplifier with very high input impedance.
  • the signal from the preamplifier will be taken by conductors passing through the closure plate through one or two openings such as 12.
  • the sensitive layer is constituted by a piezoelectric polymer film of the polyvinylfluoride type. It will have a thickness of a few tens of microns. Films of this type are found commercially covered on both sides with a metallized layer (AR, Ni, Au, etc.) having very satisfactory adhesion to the polymer in most cases.
  • a metallized layer AR, Ni, Au, etc.
