Definitions

  • the invention relates to ultrasound layer transducers with a piezoceramic, on the two side surfaces of which cladding plates are held, at least one of the side surfaces being metallized and between this side surface and the same-sided cladding plate lying a current conductor which contacts the metallized side surface.
  • Ultrasonic layer transducers of the type mentioned above are known.
  • Strands are usually used here as current conductors, which carry the excitation current when operating as a transmitter and, when used as a receiver, pass on the received signal to a spatially distant supply and processing unit.
  • the manipulation of the ultrasound film converter with strands brings with it manufacturing problems, e.g. lie in the soldering of the strands and the accommodation of the solder joint on the usually thin, break-prone piezo foils, and their solution is quite expensive.
  • the piezo foils are clad with matching and / or damping materials so that they fulfill the required acoustic properties.
  • Several such individual systems are to be arranged in parallel for some requirements, which increases the manufacturing problems and the effort.
  • a cost-effective embodiment in which the same type of cladding platelets can be used, is provided if, in addition to the current conductor, a further current conductor is provided and both current conductors are contacted via the side surfaces of the piezoceramic, which are both metallized, with only one current conductor in on each metallized side surface one groove of the side-corresponding cladding plate lies and both grooves are eccentric and are at the same distance from the closest narrow sides of the cladding plate.
  • the positioning of the current conductor which is retained even when the planking plate presses it onto the metallized surface of the piezoceramic, can be achieved particularly reliably if the groove in the planking plate has a V-shaped cross section.
  • the V-shaped cross-section By changing the V-shaped cross-section in its angle and depth, it is possible to adapt to the cross-section of the current conductor in a simple manner, so that it protrudes from the groove in the desired manner and necessary for contacting. If the current conductor is designed as a solid conductor, it is easy to use. If the distance between the two current conductors is assigned to a plug system or a hole spacing in printed circuit boards, then the connection to the plug system or to the printed circuit boards can be implemented in a simple manner, for example also by means of an automatic machine. Inexpensive manufacture of the ultrasound film converter, in which the contact pressure on the current conductor described above is also ensured, is provided if its components are at least partially held together by adhesive bonding.
  • the ultrasound layer transducer is pushed into a shielding part under pressure, in addition to the shielding, which can be electrical and at the same time can offer mechanical protection, the components of the ultrasound layer transducer are held together well, again with the pressure required for contacting on the conductor is guaranteed.
  • FIG. 1 shows an ultrasound layer transducer which has a piezoceramic 2, the two side surfaces of which are metallized. Cladding plates 3 are located on these metallized side surfaces, with which the required acoustic adaptation and damping are brought about. Two solid conductors 1 are partially recessed in grooves 4 (see FIG. 2) of the cladding platelets 3 and, on the other hand, touch the metallized surfaces of the piezoceramic material 2.
  • the solid conductors 1 are well positioned by means of the grooves 4 with, for example, a V-shaped cross section, with adjustment of the groove shape to the cross section of the solid conductor 1, the countersinking in the grooves 4 can be changed to such an extent that its part protruding for contacting can be adapted accordingly to the required contact pressure.
  • the two solid conductors 1 arranged in parallel lie at the same distance from the parallel outer sides of the cladding platelets 3 and also off-center, so that the ultrasound layer transducer can be produced with cladding platelets 3 of the same embodiment.
  • strands or other current conductors can also be used instead of the solid conductors. It is also possible, deviating from the above embodiment, for the two current conductors to be arranged next to one another and for their contacting on the piezoceramic to take place by means of a cladding plate 3 which has corresponding grooves for positioning both current conductors.
  • the two solid conductors 1 protrude long from the ultrasound layer transducer and are also arranged at a certain distance from one another which corresponds to a desired or required distance.
  • the ultrasonic layer transducer can be made ready for plug-in with the solid conductors 1 or the solid conductors 1 as solder wires for soldering, e.g. in a printed circuit board.
  • the cohesion of the components of the ultrasound layer transducer and the contact pressure required to contact the solid wire 1 on the metallized side surface of the piezoceramic 2 can be e.g. by gluing.
  • the ultrasound layer transducer is pushed into a shielding part under pressure.
  • the ultrasonic layer transducer described is characterized by simple, inexpensive manufacture, the use of rigid, e.g. Solid conductors 1 designed as plugs offer a particularly simple and at the same time secure connection.
