[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned method puts an air-conducting auscultation microphone on the eyeball, analyzes the sound leaking from the aneurysm located behind the orbit through the optic foramen, This is to detect an aneurysm. In this case, the blood flow noise generated at the site of vascular injury is extremely weak, but this weak blood flow noise is detected on the eyeball using the orbit that is acoustically connected to the brain. Although this method is effective, this method is of an air conduction type, and has a problem that detection sensitivity is low due to the presence of an air layer, and that ambient noise is easily picked up.

In the bioacoustic transducer having the above-described configuration, by arranging the outer surface of the diaphragm 2 on the eyelid of a person, the acoustic vibration generated in the cerebral blood vessel obstruction is caused by intracranial blood flow. Is transmitted to the eyelid through the optic nerve bundle, the eyeball, and the like, and the vibration of the eyelid causes the diaphragm 2 to vibrate. The vibration of the vibration plate 2 causes the connector 3 fixed to the vibration plate 2 to vibrate up and down, and further propagates to the polymer piezoelectric film 5 fixed to the connector 3 to cause the polymer piezoelectric film 5 to expand and contract. The stretching vibration of the polymer piezoelectric film 5 is taken out as an electric signal by the piezoelectricity of the polymer piezoelectric film 5, sent to an external measurement / measurement device such as a frequency analyzer (not shown) via a connector 6, and its frequency spectrum is measured. As a result, the presence or absence of an aneurysm is detected.

As the diaphragm 2 used in the bioacoustic transducer of the present invention, elastic polycarbonate, acrylic resin, polyester, polyester fiber reinforced epoxy resin, carbon fiber reinforced polymer material, or the like is used, and the thickness thereof is 0.05.
~ 0.5 mm is preferred. If the thickness of the diaphragm 2 is less than 0.05 mm, the maximum sensitivity frequency becomes low and the diaphragm is easily deformed, so that the mechanical strength cannot be obtained enough to hold the connector. It will be easier. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.5 mm, the maximum sensitivity frequency becomes too high, and the sensitivity decreases accordingly. The elastic material used as the diaphragm 2 preferably has a Young's modulus of 1 × 10 9 (N / m 2 ) to 5.0 × 10 10 (N / m 2 ).

The diaphragm 2 has a circular shape and a diameter of 10 to 40.
It is preferably mm. If the shape is not circular, a single-frequency vibration mode will not be obtained, and there is a disadvantage that the frequency characteristics of the obtained bioacoustic transducer are disturbed. Also,
When the diameter of the diaphragm 2 is less than 10 mm, the maximum sensitivity frequency of the bioacoustic transducer becomes too high because the diaphragm is small,
The sensitivity in the required area decreases. On the other hand, if it exceeds 40 mm,
The problem is that the eyelids are larger than the orbit and do not come into contact with the eyelids at all.

In the present invention, a stretched film such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or a copolymer of PVDF and trichloroethylene is used as the polymer piezoelectric film having the property of converting the energy of stretching vibration into an electric signal. Is used as the stretching direction. Its film thickness is 0.
005 to 0.1 mm is preferred.

In the present invention, aluminum, acrylic resin, or the like is used as a material of a connector for connecting the diaphragm and the polymer piezoelectric film. Incidentally, the mass of the connector is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 3 g. The reason is that if the vibration yarn of the bioacoustic transducer is lightened as described above, the vibration can be detected efficiently without changing the vibration state on the living body.

Further, the mounting angle θ formed by the diaphragm and the polymer piezoelectric film shown in FIG. 3 is preferably 5 ° to 30 °.
When the mounting angle θ is less than 5 °, it is not preferable because the effect of the change in sensitivity increases due to the expansion of the PVDF due to the change in temperature and humidity. If the mounting angle θ exceeds 30 °, the tensile stress on the PVDF caused by the vibration of the connector decreases,
It is not preferable because the sensitivity is lowered.
