Abstract

PURPOSE: To enhance the efficiency of vibration conversion ratio by providing a hard elastic body layer between respective pressurized contact surfaces to which two selected from among an electrode plate, an electrostrictive element, a metallic block and an insulator, are mutually adjacent. CONSTITUTION: Respective electrode plates 2 are connected electrically in parallel with lead wires 5, 6 and an electrostrictive effect is generated on the electrostrictive element 1 by allowing a high frequency electric current having specified frequency to flow. The effect is transferred and converted and ultrasonic vibrations are generated on an edge surface 7 of an ultrasonic oscillator. Ceramics such as lead zirco-titanate are preferred to be used as materials for electrostrictive element 1. Thus, the production cost can be reduced.

However, due to processing variations in the surface roughness and flatness of the adjacent surfaces of the electrostrictive element (30), the electrode plate (31), and the metal block (32),
There was also a problem that the efficiency of converting the 0.5 to 10 μm expansion and contraction caused by the electrostrictive effect of 30) into vibrations generated at the end face of the vibrator (35) tended to vary and easily deteriorated with use. , each electrostrictive element (30), electrode plate (31) when firmly fastened because it is fastened with bolts.
And on each pressure contact surface of the metal block (32), a large rJ force distribution occurs radially from the center hole toward the outer periphery, and the expansion and contraction that occurs around the center hole and the expansion and contraction that occurs near the outer periphery. Unlike the above, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be efficiently converted into vibration at the vibrator end face (35), and on the other hand, if it is weakly tightened, the positions of each electrostrictive element and electrode plate will shift and generate heat, making it impossible to vibrate. This made it difficult to set the tightening force. A dynamic admittance value is a parameter proportional to these vibration conversion efficiencies.

In conventional ultrasonic transducers, a low voltage, for example, a voltage of about 1 to IOV of the resonant frequency, is applied to a transducer with a diameter of 10 to 30 mφ, 4 to 1
When applied to a vibrator with 0 electrostrictive elements, the dynamic admittance value is usually 5 to 10 m5, and when a practical level voltage of about 50 to 500 V is applied and vibrated, the vibrator generates abnormal heat. Or, the resonance state may not be maintained and the vibration may stop. As a solution to these problems, extra time has been taken to adjust the clamping force for each vibrator.

The hard elastic layer (4) in the present invention has hardness (rigidity) that can withstand the clamping force of bolt tightening for assembling the ultrasonic transducer, and the electrostrictive elements (1) and electrode plates ( 2)
It is required to have elasticity that can absorb processing variations in the interface roughness and flatness of metals and ceramics constituting the metal block (3g), etc., and that can evenly transmit ultrasonic vibrations to the entire pressure contact surface. If the elastic modulus is too small, it acts to absorb ultrasonic vibrations and the efficiency of ultrasonic vibration transmission becomes low, so the elasticity is 1/1 that of metals and ceramics.
A material having an elastic modulus on the order of 0 to 1/100 is suitable. Also, during normal operation of the ultrasonic transducer (30~
40'C) as well as abnormal temperatures (70~80'C)
Even in C), it is necessary that the rigidity and elastic modulus do not decrease significantly. Furthermore, when used in medical equipment such as ultrasonic surgical tools, it has recently become necessary to be able to autoclave (steam sterilize at 110°C or higher) as a sterilization method. , at least 11
Even at high temperatures of about 0 to 135°C, it is necessary to maintain the rigidity to withstand the clamping force of bolt tightening. Examples of such materials include epoxy resins, polyimide resins, polyamideimide resins, polybenzimidazole resins, and cross-linked and hardened resins such as composite resins of epoxy resins and polyimide resins or phenolic resins. resin is suitable. The thickness of the hard elastic layer (4) is 5~
A suitable thickness is 200 μm, preferably 20 to 100 μm; if it is thinner than 5 μm, it will not be effective as an elastic body, while if it exceeds 200 μm, the effect as an elastic body will become stronger, and the transmission efficiency of ultrasonic vibration will decrease. There is a tendency to decrease.

The vertical axis shows the dynamic admittance value, and the horizontal axis shows the vibration time.The vibrator has a structure with six electrostrictive elements, and the vibration conditions are as follows: The same vibrating body (horn) is connected to the vibrator. , apply a liquid load to the tip of the vibrator and increase the voltage applied to the vibrator to 100 to 300 V.
As a result of repeating the cycle of vibrating for 10 seconds and stopping for 10 seconds, the dynamic admittance value of the vibrator according to the present invention was approximately 20 m5 or more, which was unchanged from the initial value of 23 m5. The initial value of the oscillator is also 1
The dynamic admittance value was as low as 0 m5, and as the vibration time increased, the dynamic admittance value showed a tendency to decrease, and vibrations at a practical level caused abnormal heat generation and vibration stoppage due to load fluctuations.
