Definitions
- the present invention relates to an acoustic wave detection device and a system for locating an acoustic wave source.
- the invention can be applied for example to the detection of falls or abnormal situations affecting elderly or vulnerable living alone in their home.
- the French patent application published under the number FR 2 879 885 describes the principle of locating an impact on a plate, using the fact that this impact generates a seismic acoustic wave in the plate.
- the location is realized by means of a method for calculating the differential transit time between the impact location and several pairs of acoustic wave detection devices each comprising a piezoelectric transducer.
- the two devices of each pair are fixed on either side of a beveled edge of the plate.
- This configuration - the devices fixed on both sides of the plate and the bevelled edge - makes it possible to obtain good sensitivity to the antisymmetrical mode of propagation of the seismic wave by attenuation of the symmetrical mode. Detecting one mode of propagation and not the other solves the problem of the difference in propagation velocity between the two modes.
- the document FR 2 879 885 describes that the plate can also possibly act as an acoustic antenna and thus transmit voice compression waves to acoustic wave detection devices, which thus serve as a microphone.
- the plate can play the role of acoustic antenna only in the case where it is thin.
- an object of the invention is an acoustic wave detection device comprising a piezoelectric transducer designed to provide a detection signal, and furthermore an acoustic resonator having a resonant frequency and comprising: a resonant body having a free surface designed to be plated on a support in which a seismic acoustic wave, which has a frequency spectrum including the resonance frequency of the resonator, is intended to propagate, so that the seismic acoustic wave resonates the acoustic resonator via this free surface, and
- microphonic membrane designed to vibrate under the action of an aerial acoustic wave which has a frequency spectrum including the resonance frequency of the resonator, so that the aerial acoustic wave resonates the acoustic resonator via the microphonic membrane
- the piezoelectric transducer being fixed on the acoustic resonator so that it produces, on the one hand, a first detection signal component when the acoustic resonator is resonated under the action of the seismic acoustic wave and, on the other hand, a second detection signal component when the acoustic resonator is resonated under the action of the overhead acoustic wave.
- the acoustic resonator transmits both seismic and aerial acoustic waves to the piezoelectric transducer.
- the air waves are detected without counting on the possible role of acoustic antenna of the support.
- the device of the invention can therefore be used as bi-medium sensor (air medium and solid medium) regardless of the thickness or the surface of the support.
- the detection device obtained does not require access to two faces of the support and does not require to provide bevelled edges.
- the acoustic resonator comprises a resonator disk comprising:
- the piezoelectric transducer being fixed at least partly on the annular peripheral part
- the piezoelectric transducer comprises an annular piezoelectric element fixed at least on the peripheral portion of the resonator disk.
- the circular central portion of the resonator disc has a thickness decreasing from its periphery to its center.
- the device comprises a cavity arranged in the acoustic resonator and partially delimited by the microphonic membrane.
- the circular central portion of the resonator disc has a constant thickness, less than the thickness of the annular peripheral portion, so that the cavity is cylindrical.
- the piezoelectric element has an axial symmetry with respect to a central axis, as well as a fundamental resonance frequency in radial mode with respect to the central axis, and
- the acoustic resonator has an axial symmetry with respect to the central axis, as well as a fundamental resonance frequency in radial mode with respect to the central axis which is lower than the fundamental resonance frequency of the piezoelectric element.
- the fundamental resonance frequency of the acoustic resonator is between 1 and 10 kilohertz.
- the acoustic resonator consists of a single piece.
- Another object of the invention is a system for locating an acoustic wave source, comprising:
- At least two acoustic wave detection devices according to the invention, the free surfaces of which are plated on the support, and a unit for processing the detection signals provided by the acoustic wave detection devices, the unit processor being adapted to locate a source of acoustic wave emission by calculating differential transit time from the provided detection signals.

- FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a system for locating an acoustic wave source comprising a plurality of acoustic wave detection devices according to FIGS. 1 to 3 or FIG. 4.
- the device 10 firstly comprises an acoustic resonator 12 intended to be resonated by a seismic or aerial acoustic wave, as will be explained hereinafter.
- the acoustic resonator 12 consists of a single piece in order to effectively propagate the acoustic waves, and has an axial symmetry with respect to a central axis A.
- the central axis A is oriented from the bottom to the top in the present description, by concern for clarity. However, it could have any orientation.
- the acoustic resonator 12 is preferably metal, for example aluminum or duralumin (trademark).
- the acoustic resonator 12 comprises a resonator disc 14 centered on the central axis A and having a flat top face 16.
- the device 10 further comprises a piezoelectric transducer 18 fixed on the upper face 16 of the acoustic resonator 12.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 comprises an annular piezoelectric element 20, also having an axial symmetry with respect to the central axis A.
- the annular piezoelectric element 20 is in the form of a flat washer having an external diameter equal to that of the resonator disc 14.
- the piezoelectric element 20 is for example made of PZT ceramic.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 comprises in in addition to an upper electrode 22 consisting of an electrically conductive layer, for example a weldable silver paste covering an upper face of the piezoelectric element 20, and a lower electrode 24 (visible in FIG. 3) also consisting of a electrically conductive layer covering a lower face of the piezoelectric element 20.
- the lower electrode 24 comprises a return 26, on the upper face of the piezoelectric element 20, facilitating its connection.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 has a fundamental resonant frequency in axial symmetry radial vibration mode which is very high, much higher than the fundamental resonance frequency in axially symmetric radial vibration mode of the resonator 12.
- the fundamental resonance of the resonator 12 is chosen (by adapting its geometry) as a function of the support on which it is intended to be fixed.
- the fundamental resonance frequency of the resonator 12 is preferably between 1 kilohertz and 10 kilohertz.
- the resonator 12 will preferably be designed to have a fundamental resonant frequency of between 50 kilohertz and 100 kilohertz.
- the fundamental resonance frequency of the resonator is again selected between 1 kilohertz and 10 kilohertz.
- the resonator 12 Since the resonator 12 is much larger than the piezoelectric transducer 18, it acts as a filter which mainly passes the frequencies around its resonant frequencies, and in particular around its fundamental resonant frequency. Thus, the piezoelectric transducer is only subjected to frequencies close to the resonance frequency of resonator 12. This has the effect of protecting the piezoelectric transducer from high frequencies and to obtain a detection signal around this resonance frequency, which facilitates its processing.
- the detection device 10 further comprises a printed circuit board, said PCB 28 (of the English "Printed Circuit Board”), of circular shape, fixed to the piezoelectric transducer 18, on its upper electrode 22 and on the return 26 its lower electrode 24.
- the printed circuit board 28 is shown partially broken away in FIG.
- the device 10 further comprises an upper conductive layer 30 covering an upper face of the printed circuit board 28 whose interest will be detailed later.
- the device 10 further comprises a coaxial cable 32 whose core is connected to the upper electrode 22 and the return shield 26 of the lower electrode of the piezoelectric transducer 18, via the printed circuit board 28.
- the resonator disc 14 has an annular peripheral portion 34 having a constant thickness and a planar lower annular surface.
- the lower annular surface 35 of the annular peripheral portion 34 is a free surface, that is to say unobstructed, designed to be plated, as will be detailed below, on a support in which a seismic acoustic wave is intended to propagate, so that the seismic acoustic wave resonates the acoustic resonator 12 via this free surface 35.
- the resonator disc 14 further comprises a circular central portion 36 filling the inner circular space delimited by the annular peripheral portion 34.
- the central portion 36 has a decreasing thickness, since the annular peripheral portion 34 where this thickness is equal to that of the annular peripheral portion, towards the central axis A where this thickness is minimal.
- the reduction in thickness is, for example, linear.
- a conical cavity 38 open downward is arranged in the acoustic resonator 12, this cavity 38 being delimited by the central portion 36 of the resonator disc 14 and bordered by the lower annular surface 35.
- the acoustic resonator 12 comprises a microphonic membrane 40 having a thickness that is less than, for example, 1 millimeter.
- the circular central portion 36 of the resonator disc 14 comprises the microphonic membrane 40, the latter extending in the center of the circular central portion 36, where the thickness is less than 1 millimeter.
- the microphonic membrane 40 is designed to vibrate under the action of an overhead acoustic wave, so that the overhead acoustic wave resonates the acoustic resonator 12 via the microphonic membrane 40.
- the acoustic resonator 12 further comprises a resonant body 42 of greater thickness than the thickness of the microphonic membrane 40.
- the resonant body 42 is formed by the annular peripheral portion and the portion of the portion circular central 36 extending around the membrane 40 to a thickness greater than 1 millimeter.
- the resonant body 42 and the microphonic membrane 40 are separated by dotted lines.
- the cavity 38 is delimited in part by the microphonic membrane 40.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 is fixed on the body of the resonator disc 14, both on the annular peripheral portion 34 and on the circular central portion 36.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 is fixed by liquid bonding, preferably with glue cyanoacrylate, for example of the Loctite 407 (trademark) type, which allows the resonator 12 to apply, when it resonates, a mechanical stress to the piezoelectric transducer 18, the latter consequently providing a detection signal in the form of a potential difference between its lower electrode 24 and its upper electrode 22.
- the lower electrode 24 of the piezoelectric transducer 18 and the upper conductive layer 30 of the printed circuit 28 are both connected together, and connected to the electrical ground, for example by being both connected to the sheath of the cable 32
- the lower electrode 24 and the upper conductive layer 30 then form a Faraday cage covering the piezoelectric element 20 from the top and the bottom and thus protecting it from external electrical disturbances, which improves the measurements.
- the dimensions of the device 10 are as follows.
- the diameter of the resonator disc 14 is between 20 millimeters and 100 millimeters, for example 50 millimeters.
- the thickness of the annular peripheral portion 34 is between 1 and 5 millimeters, for example 2 millimeters, while the thickness at the center of the circular central portion 36 is between 0.1 and 1 millimeters, for example 0.5 millimeters.
- the outer diameter of the piezoelectric element 20 is equal to that of the resonator disk 14, and its internal diameter is between 10 and 40 millimeters, for example 20 millimeters.
- the thickness of the piezoelectric element 20 is less than or equal to 1 millimeter, for example 0.45 mm.
- the thickness of electrodes 22 and 24, as well as conductive layer 30 is less than or equal to 50 micrometers, for example 35 micrometers.
- the device 10 is illustrated in a position of use in which it is fixed, by its lower free annular surface 35, to an upper surface 43 of a support 44 in which a seismic acoustic wave is intended to spread.
- the lower free annular surface 35 of the device 10 is for example glued to the upper surface 43 of the support 44, preferably with cyanoacrylate glue, for example of the Loctite 407 type or an epoxy glue.
- the cavity 38 As the lower free annular surface 35 surrounds the cavity 38, the latter is closed by the support 44, so that the cavity 38 forms a resonance cavity for the membrane 40, that is to say that the pressure in the cavity is constant (with respect to the duration of an acoustic wave) relative to the pressure on the other side of the membrane 40.
- the cavity 38 is sealed, to prevent air communication between the cavity 38 and the outside of the cavity 38.
- FIG. 4 A device 50 for detecting acoustic waves according to a second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4.
- This device 50 is for the most part similar to that of FIGS. 1 to 3, and the same references are used for identical elements. Only his resonator disc is of different shape and numbered now 52.
- the resonator disc 52 has a circular central portion 54 of constant thickness, less than the thickness of the annular peripheral portion 34.
- a cavity 55 of cylindrical shape is arranged in the acoustic resonator 12, the cavity 55 being delimited at the top by the circular central portion 54 and laterally by the annular peripheral portion 34.
- the entire circular central portion 54 forms an acoustic membrane 56, while the entire annular peripheral portion 34 forms a resonant body 57.
- the piezoelectric transducer 18 is fixed only on the annular peripheral portion 34 of the resonator disc 52.
- the dimensions of the resonator disk 52 are as follows (the other elements having the dimensions indicated for the first mode of production).
- the diameter of the resonator disk 52 is between 20 millimeters and 100 millimeters, for example 50 millimeters.
- the thickness of the annular peripheral portion 34 is between 1 and 5 millimeters, for example 1 millimeter, while the thickness of the circular central portion 54 is between 0.1 and 1 millimeters, for example 0.2 millimeters.
- the acoustic resonator 12 then has a fundamental resonant frequency in axially symmetric radial vibration mode of 3.5 kilohertz.
- the device 50 according to the second embodiment is about three times more sensitive to the acoustic air waves than the device 10 according to the first embodiment.
- a surface seismic acoustic wave 60 propagates in the support 44 on its upper surface 43.
- the seismic acoustic wave 60 corresponds to a spreading deformation.
- the seismic acoustic wave 60 is for example, in the case of a support 44 having a large thickness relative to its wavelength, a Rayleigh wave (shown in FIG. 5), or, in the case where the support 44 is in the form of a plate (smaller thickness, at most of the order of one wavelength), a Lamb wave.
- the seismic acoustic wave 60 comprises a so-called "out-of-plane” component corresponding to a deformation of the material perpendicular to the upper surface 43, and a so-called “in-plane” component corresponding to a deformation of the material. along the upper surface 43.
- the acoustic resonator 12 is particularly sensitive to the mechanical components of the seismic acoustic wave 60 for wavelengths equal to twice its diameter (ie 100 mm, for a diameter of the acoustic resonator 12 of 50 mm), which corresponds to to operation at its fundamental resonant frequency.
- vibrations can be conveyed as well in a symmetric mode as in an antisymmetric mode but in different proportions when the two modes are generated by the same impact, which can pose a problem of location accuracy by time of differential transit if we do not know the intensity of the impact.
- the risk of confusion between the two symmetrical and antisymmetrical modes is raised otherwise by the present invention: first by decreasing the working frequency (for the same plate thickness) to reduce the proportion of symmetrical mode contained in the signal relative to the antisymmetric mode; secondly by using a lower gain so as to allow a range of amplitude variation and be able to measure by analog-to-digital conversion the intensity of the impact directly at the head of the wave packet (in the state of the art the intensity is quantified by measuring the reverberation time of the seismic signal in the plate); thirdly, by analyzing the signal over a longer time taking advantage of the microphonic signal resulting from an impact.
- a second method to remove the risk of confusion consists in exploiting the microphonic signal resulting from the impact and in locating by differential transit time on the air wave.
- the acoustic resonator 12 resonates according to the axially symmetric radial vibration mode when the frequency spectrum of the seismic acoustic wave 60 comprises at least one resonance frequency according to this mode, and preferably the fundamental resonance frequency according to this mode since it is usually the one that produces the most important resonance.
- the seismic acoustic wave 60 resonates the acoustic resonator 12 via the lower annular surface 35.
- the acoustic resonator 12 thus resonated then applies a mechanical stress to the piezoelectric transducer 18, which results in the appearance of a potential difference between the electrodes 22 and 24, this potential difference constituting a component of the detection signal, hereinafter referred to as the seismic component.
- an aerial acoustic wave propagating in the surrounding air reaches the microphonic membrane 40 or 56.
- the microphonic membrane 40 or 56 vibrates, so that the aerial acoustic wave in resonance the acoustic resonator 14 via the microphonic membrane 40, also according to the axial symmetry resonance mode.
- the acoustic resonator 12 thus resonated then applies a mechanical stress to the piezoelectric transducer 18, which results in the appearance of a potential difference between the electrodes 22 and 24, this potential difference constituting a component of the detection signal, subsequently called the microphonic component.
- the detection signal provided by the device 10 or 50 thus comprises the seismic component or the microphonic component, depending on whether a seismic acoustic wave or an overhead acoustic wave is received.
- the acoustic resonator 12 acts as a frequency filter on the seismic or aerial acoustic wave. Indeed, the frequencies of the wave corresponding to the resonance frequencies, and in particular to the fundamental resonance frequency, are strongly transmitted, while the frequencies outside the resonant frequencies are strongly attenuated.
- a system 70 for locating an acoustic wave source comprises a support 72 in the form of a plate.
- the support 72 is for example a floor of a house, or a thinner plate, for example a table.
- the system 70 further comprises four acoustic wave detection devices 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D, fixed on the support. Each of these devices 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D is for example according to the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3 or to the second embodiment of FIG. 4. Each device 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D provides a signal of detection comprising a seismic component when a seismic acoustic wave is detected by the device, via its surface 35 pressed against the support, or a microphonic component when a microphonic acoustic wave is detected by the device via its microphonic membrane 40 or 56.
- the system 70 further comprises a processing unit 76 of the device detection signals 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D.
- the processing unit 76 is designed to detect activity around a predefined frequency in each of the detection signals.
- the predefined frequency is equal to the fundamental resonant frequency of the devices 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D in their axially symmetrical radial vibration mode.
- the activity corresponds either to the appearance of a seismic component in the detection signal, or to the appearance of a microphonic component, or to both, seismic and microphonic.
- the detection is for example carried out by broadband amplification, followed by filtering around the predefined frequency, followed by squaring, followed by peak detection, followed by integration.
- the processing unit 76 When the processing unit 76 detects a first activity, that is to say an activity that has not been recently preceded by another activity, the processing unit initialises counters for timestamping all the activities. subsequently detected over a predetermined time interval, with respect to this first activity.
- a pulse acoustic source such as an impact, typically generates a seismic wave and an air wave.
- an impact on the support 72 generates a seismic wave, as well as a noise, that is to say an air wave.
- a clap in the hands generates a noise, that is to say an air wave that propagates to the support 72 and generates a seismic wave in the latter.
- the first activity usually corresponds to the detection of the seismic wave.
- the processing unit 76 is designed to distinguish the activities corresponding to various interaction forms, for example of the impact type, characterized by an impulse waveform initially comprising a signal of low amplitude corresponding to the arrival of the seismic wave followed by a stronger amplitude signal corresponding to the arrival of the microphonic wave.
- a snap type interaction pattern does not produce a signal corresponding to the arrival of the seismic wave, but only a microphone signal.
- the processing electronics can be programmed so as not to react to this type of interaction.
- the processing unit 76 is therefore designed to distinguish the activities corresponding to the seismic wave from those corresponding to the air wave, for example by the fact that they have the same signature, since they have the same shape of interaction (the impact on the support has a first form of interaction, the clapping of hands for a second).
- the processing unit 76 is designed to locate the source from the time stamped detections. This is for example done in the manner described in the publication FR 2 81 1 107, that is to say by calculating differential transit time either from the detections of the seismic wave, or from the detections of the seismic wave. air wave.
- the detections of the air wave it is possible to locate a source on the support or even at a distance from the support (for example, the clapping of hands).
- the use of detections of the air wave may have certain advantages. Indeed, when the support is a thin plate, for example a glass plate 1 centimeter thick, an impact generates a seismic wave comprising a symmetrical mode propagating for example at 5400 meters per second and a slower antisymmetric mode is propagating for example at 3300 meters per second, and an air wave propagating for example at 343 meters per second.
- the use of the air wave then makes it possible to avoid the problem of the difference in propagation speed of the two modes of the seismic wave.
- the support is used to define the work plane and the attachment points of the detection devices. It also serves as a barrier and guide to the air waves generated by the impact that must propagate laterally to the sensors.
- microphonic acoustic waves to detect an impact is also advantageous because, by judiciously choosing the seismic surface / microphonic surface ratio of the sensor, it is possible to ensure that the acoustic waves produce a much stronger signal, in general ten times stronger than seismic waves.
- the antisymmetric mode is much stronger, usually ten times stronger, than the symmetric mode, and this is all the more true that the frequency is lower, or more precisely than the frequency product.
- the thickness remains small, preferably less than 100 kHz.mm.
- the processing unit 76 is preferably designed to record the detection signals, preferably on a sliding recording interval, for example of a duration of 3 to 5 seconds.
- a sliding recording interval for example of a duration of 3 to 5 seconds.
- the processing unit 76 is then designed to analyze, for example by Fourier analysis, the detection signals recorded on the thus prolonged recording interval.
- the processing unit 76 is able to detect a sound activity preceding and following the impact, because this sound activity then generates a microphone component in at least one of the detection signals.
- the analysis includes, for example, determining the nature of the sound activity, for example by comparing the recorded signal with a reference signal database.
- the system 70 makes it possible to detect an emergency situation from both seismic and microphonic information, for example an impact followed by a cry which could result from a fall of person.
- an acoustic wave detection device makes it possible to detect seismic and aerial acoustic waves on a support of which only one face is accessible, and which does not necessarily have bevelled edges.
