Definitions

  • the invention is based on an ultrasonic transducer with a pot-like housing with an annular wall and a bottom surface as a membrane, with the On the inside of the bottom surface, a piezo element is applied, which has connection lines connected is.
  • An ultrasonic transducer is known from EP 0 075 302 B1, which has a cup-shaped housing having. Such ultrasonic transducers are used, for example, as sensors for Distance measuring devices used.
  • EP 477 575 A1 describes an ultrasonic transducer and a method for producing the Ultrasonic transducer is known, in which with the help of different shapes to one Piezoceramic disc a pourable matching material is arranged, which is a pot formed. The piezoceramic disc is contacted by wires that are connected by a poured damping material run and open into a connector. The In one embodiment, damping material forms a ring for holding.
  • DE 34 41 684 A1 describes an electroacoustic transducer with an aluminum pot and a piezoceramic disk arranged thereon, which is connected via flexible wires a circuit board is contacted. Is on a housing made of an elastic material arranged a connector that leads out of the housing. There is a on the aluminum pot Ring arranged for holding in the elastic material.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic transducer stable contact for secure mounting.
  • the edge facing away from the bottom surface is surrounded by a decoupling ring and that the decoupling ring is designed as a holder for the connecting lines.
  • the annular wall of the pot-like housing has a contour that is rises above the outside of the annular wall of the pot-like housing, the decoupling ring on the outside corresponding to this contour Has contour for secure attachment of the ultrasonic transducer to an opening.
  • a first advantageous embodiment of the Ultrasonic transducer according to the invention is that the Decoupling ring essentially fills the housing and provided with holes to hold the connecting cables is.
  • the Decoupling ring has a central opening at the Edge grooves arranged to hold the connection lines are. It is advantageous if one of them is not Decoupling part of the interior of the Housing including the central opening with a Damping material is filled.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention Ultrasonic transducer is that the connecting lines are flexible.
  • the flexible Connection lines for example formed by strands is still an easy assembly of the Ultrasonic transducer according to the invention on a circuit board possible, the connecting cables through the bracket in the holes arranged in the respective grid dimension fit.
  • the connecting lines held in the decoupling ring rigidly formed and with flexible pipe sections with the Piezo element are connected.
  • this one Design provided that the decoupling ring except the Holes for holding the connection lines an opening and that the opening and one not of that Decoupling part of the interior of the Housing are filled with a damping material.
  • the figures show the exemplary embodiments in one view from the direction of radiation or Receiving direction (a) and a plan view of the Connection side (b) and each as a longitudinal section (c) or (d).
  • the illustrated embodiments each contain one, for example made of aluminum, Sensor transducer pot 1, on the bottom of which the piezo element 2 attached, for example glued.
  • a decoupling ring 4, 6, 9 made of elastic material, preferably made of silicone, provided the edge of the Converter pot 1 includes.
  • a corresponding contour of the transducer pot 1 and on the Outside of the decoupling ring 4, 6, 9 is used for secure attachment by simple Press into a corresponding opening of the body part, not shown.
  • connecting strands 3 with the piezo element 2 contacted.
  • the decoupling ring 4 comprises a central opening, at the edge of which grooves are provided for holding the connecting strands 3.
  • the remaining cavities are filled with a damping material 5, for example with a silicone foam.
  • the decoupling ring 6 is designed such that it occupies the entire interior of the sensor pot 1.
  • a bore running through the entire decoupling ring 6 is provided in each case.
