Abstract

La sonde 1 comporte un unique transducteur MUT, CPMUT ou PMUT, porté par le boitier, à pivotement autour d’un axe de battement de direction bas-haut, de sorte à pouvoir être déplacé dans le plan de coupe-balayage, ledit transducteur MUT étant écarté à l’arrière de la face intérieure de la fenêtre acoustique de sorte à ne pas interférer avec elle, le boitier comportant un compartiment humide empli d’un liquide de couplage acoustique, dans lequel se trouve le transducteur MUT, des moyens moteur / d’entraînement logés dans le boitier étant aptes à assujettir le transducteur MUT à un balayage mécanique oscillant dans le plan de coupe-balayage, sur une course de balayage. Figure pour l’abrégé : Fig. 11The probe 1 comprises a single MUT, CPMUT or PMUT transducer, carried by the housing, pivoting around a beat axis of low-high direction, so as to be able to be moved in the sweep plane, said MUT transducer being spaced behind the interior face of the acoustic window so as not to interfere with it, the housing comprising a wet compartment filled with an acoustic coupling liquid, in which the MUT transducer is located, motor means / drive units housed in the housing being capable of subjecting the MUT transducer to a mechanical sweep oscillating in the cutting-scanning plane, over a sweeping stroke.
