Definitions
- the invention relates to an ultrasonic transducer with a disk-shaped piezoceramic body and with a disk-shaped ⁇ / 4 adaptation body.
- a generic ultrasonic transducer is already known for use in ultrasonic sensors or proximity switches. It has a relatively narrow sound lobe characteristic and at the same time has relatively small side lobe amplitudes.
- the ⁇ / 4 adapter body is used to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves in a gaseous propagation medium, preferably for use in ultrasonic proximity switches.
- an ultrasonic transducer with a piezoceramic body and an adaptation body in which the surface of the adaptation body facing away from the piezoceramic body has a slightly different surface area in relation to the base surface of the piezoceramic body and to the surface of the adaptation body facing it.
- the side line of the adapter body is diverging or converging with a straight, concave or convex shape.
- the resulting sound lobe characteristic with considerable side lobe amplitudes of approx. -19 dB compared to the main lobe amplitude is suitable for the use of the ultrasonic transducer, e.g. insufficient in confined spaces and in the presence of side objects.
- EP 0 655 156 B1 discloses an ultrasound transducer with an adaptation body with a cylindrical outer surface, which has an incision on the outer surface and / or on the surface facing the piezoceramic body. This Guidance enables directional sharp sound lobes with small side lobe amplitudes of less than -30 dB.
- the invention has for its object to improve an ultrasonic transducer of the type mentioned above in that it has narrow main lobe opening angles with small side lobe amplitudes.
- the object is achieved in that the lateral circumferential surface of the ⁇ / 4 adaptation body is designed as a step profile.
- FIG. 1 shows the sectional view of an embodiment of an ultrasonic transducer 1 according to the invention with a cylindrical, disk-shaped piezoceramic body 2 and a disk-shaped adapter body 3, for example glued to it.
- the lateral peripheral surface of the adapter body 3 is designed here as a simple, rectangular step profile.
- the upper and lower metallization surfaces of the piezoceramic body 2 as well as the metallization surface facing the adaptation body 3, which make contact, for example, by means of a thin contact foil made of metal or of a metal-plastic composite material inserted into the adhesive layer is not shown.
- the advantageous configuration of the lateral step contour results in favorable forms of vibration of the outward-facing, sound-radiating surface of the adapter body 3, which lead to directional sharp sound lobes with very small side lobe amplitudes.
- the diameter of the disk-shaped piezoceramic body 2 and the diameter of the base surface of the adaptation body 3 facing the piezoceramic body 2 are 23 mm.
- the diameter of the facing outer surface of the adapter body 3 is 28 mm
- the total height of the adapter body 3 is 6.5 mm
- the height of the protruding part of the adapter body with the diameter of 28 mm is 2.4 mm.
- the adaptation body 3 consists of a robust, syntactic foam made of an epoxy-glass hollow sphere mixture.
- the exemplary ultrasonic transducer 1 has a resonant operating frequency of approximately 80 kHz with a -3 dB width of the sound lobe opening angle of approximately 11 ° and very small side lobe amplitudes of approximately -30 dB.
- the ultrasonic transducer 1 shows a further embodiment of the ultrasonic transducer 1 according to the invention with a step profile, the surfaces of which are not at right angles to one another. Further possible embodiments result if the step profile is composed of two or more rectangular and / or non-rectangular steps. The thereby increasing diameter of the sound-emitting surface of the adaptation body 3 leads to a narrower sound beam opening angle.
