Description
The present invention relates to an acceleration sensor, and more particularly, to an acceleration sensor using a piezoelectric single crystal and a hydrophone having the acceleration sensor.
The acceleration sensor processes the output signal to measure dynamic forces such as acceleration, vibration, and shock of the object. The acceleration sensor is used in various fields, for example, in a control system of a transportation means, a factory automation and a robot, and is also incorporated in a communication device. If the acceleration sensor is classified into the detection method, it can be classified into inertia type, gyro type, and silicon semiconductor type.
The inertial acceleration sensor includes an acceleration sensor using a piezoelectric material. An example of a piezoelectric material widely used at present is lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics. The acceleration sensor using the PZT ceramics has been improved for a long time, but it is difficult to further improve the performance due to the limitation of the piezoelectric material itself.
To solve this problem, an alternative using a PMN-PT single crystal as a piezoelectric material has been proposed. PZT ceramics are made of irregular particles, whereas PMN-PT single crystals have a structure in which fine particles having a certain structure are regularly arranged. The PMN-PT single crystal exhibits excellent physical properties as compared with PZT ceramics, and therefore performance improvement can be achieved when used as a piezoelectric material in an acceleration sensor.
Specifically, the PMN-PT single crystal is a solid solution single crystal of magnesium niobate (PMN), which is a relaxor, and titanic acid lead (PT), which is a piezoelectric material. When a PMN-PT single crystal is used as a piezoelectric material in an acceleration sensor, the piezoelectric distortion is three times or more larger than that of a conventional piezoelectric material of PZT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficient is large, .
On the other hand, a hydrophone is an accelerometer for use in an ocean search, and has an accelerometer composed of a piezoelectric material. In a hydrophone, the force of a sound wave is transmitted to a rigid body constituting the base of the accelerometer, whereby the accelerometer senses the pressure, and the direction of the sound wave can be detected from the electrical signal.
U.S. Patent No. 7,066,026 B2 discloses an accelerometer using a PMN-PT single crystal and an acoustic vector sensor having the accelerometer. The accelerometer disclosed in the above-mentioned United States patent discloses a structure in which a piezoelectric material composed of a PMT-PT single crystal is disposed between a mass and a base, and a cast pattern (a protrusion and a recess) is formed between the piezoelectric material and the mass, castellated pattern to reduce the negative effect on the relaxor crystal.
On the other hand, the acoustical vector sensor disclosed in the U.S. patent includes three accelerometers disposed on the inner circumference of the cylindrical housing. Each of the piezoelectric materials included in each of the accelerometers is cut in a specific orientation so as to generate a maximum piezoelectric response in the first direction, In the second direction and the third direction, which are the first and second directions. Therefore, the three accelerometers provided in the acoustic vector sensor are installed inside the cylindrical housing so that the orientations of the respective piezoelectric materials are orthogonal to each other, and the direction of the sound wave can be determined from the different signals detected from the three accelerometers have.
The accelerometer disclosed in the U.S. patent shows superior performance to an accelerometer using a PZT piezoelectric material by using a PMN-PT single crystal as a piezoelectric material. However, when used in an acoustic vector sensor or the like, two or more accelerometers must be included, and it is not easy to install the accelerometer in the cylindrical housing of the acoustic vector sensor disclosed in the U.S. patent.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved acceleration sensor and a hydrophone including the same.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an acceleration sensor using a PMN-PT single crystal and a hydrophone including the acceleration sensor.

The < 011 > mode shows a characteristic in which the difference in strength between the y-axis and the z-axis is 10 times or more.

The insulator and the piezoelectric body may be mutually bonded using an epoxy, but are not limited thereto.

By doing so, a part of the electrode layer formed on the insulator protrudes beyond the edge of the piezoelectric body, and a wire can be connected to the electrode layer of the protruding insulator with silver epoxy or the like.
