Definitions

  • An object of the invention is to provide such a device for the reception and emission of supersonic waves which includes one or moresheets or' plates of piezoelectric plastic material which may be substantially larger than the piezoelectric elements heretofore known and used.
  • a further object consists in providing certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts whereby the above'named 'and other objects may effectively be attained.
  • the material will be electrically polarized in one or the other direction according to the sign of the compression andy opposite electric charges will appear on opposite surfaces of a lamination in this material.
  • the saturation of the plastic material with the uniformly oriented piezoelectric crystals should be substantially as dense as possible.
  • the orientation of the crystal particles may be produced either in the course of the preparation of the material or after its otherwise complete fabrication, as set forth in the application above referred to.
  • FIG. 1 represents a face view of a signaling device
  • Fig. 2- represents a vertical section taken along the line II-II of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 represents a corresponding vertical section of a modified form of the device.
  • the-apparatus shown is intended for the emission and reception of supersonic waves and utilizes the piezoelectric plastic material described above: the apparatus being preferably of large linear dimensions and operative in two opposite directions.
  • a metallic plate i is placed in the middle between two layers of ultra-sound reecting material 2 which may be. for instance. solidl foams of plastic material.
  • ultra-sound reecting material 2 which may be. for instance. solidl foams of plastic material.
  • Next to the reflecting layersz are placed thin sheets of metal 3 and next to these sheets are layers of piezoelectric plastic material 4;' all said layers and sheets being intimately connected, as by cementing.
  • the assembly of parts lust described is surrounded at its periphery by a ring of insulating material 5 within a metallic reinforcing ring 8 and the plate i is grounded' to at -zero v the ring B so that it will be maintained potential.
  • Protective coverings of ultra-sound transparent material may be provided for the exposed surfaces of the layers t, if desired.
  • the metal sheets 3 are connected, respectively. to the lead wires I which are encased within a watertight housing or cable 8: the wires 1 being associated with a suitable source of alternating potential for signal emission, or with suitable signal translating apparatus for signal reception.
  • the middle sheet I at zero potential, forms an electrical separation between the twooperating halves of the device, and the outer surfaces of the layers 4, whether covered or uncovered. .are also at zero potential.
  • a layer of reflecting material 9 is placed in the middle, between metallic sheets i0 which are grounded to the outer metallic ring il.
  • the layers of piezoelectric plastic material i2 are placed next to the metal sheets i0, and metallic sheets or electrodes i3 are provided on the outer surfaces of the layers i2. except The whole assembly, the ring ii, is contained within an insulating case il. the' flat walls of which are transparent to ultra-sound.
  • the sheets or electrodes electrical apparatus for eniission or reception, as previously described. Because the piezoelectric plastic material may be manufactured in any desired size or shape, it isv possible to make ultra-sound detecting devices of the type exemplinedherein in sizes and shapes which have heretofore been impossible,
  • a supersonic signal transmitter and receiver comprising, a metallic backing sheet, a sheet of ultra-sound reecting material adjacent said backing sheet, a layer of piezoelectric plastic material having one surface facing said reflecting material and the other surface facing the direction of transmission and reception of supersonic signals, and an insulated electrode on one of said surfaces, the backing sheet being positioned between the reecting material and the piezoelectric plastic material, and the electrode being covered by a layer of ultra-sound transparent insulating material.
  • a supersonic signal transmitter and receiver comprising, a sheet of ultra-sound reflecting material, metallic backing sheets on both surfaces of said reecting sheet, layers of piezoelectric plastic material adjacent said backing sheets, electrodes on the face of each layer of plastic material opposite to the backing sheets, and layers of ultra sound transparent insulating material covering said electrodes.
  • a supersonic signal transmitter and receiver adapted for operation simultaneously in two opposite directions comprising, two metallic backing sheets, a. sheet of ultra-sound reecting material .between said backing sheets, layers of piezoelectric plastic material on the sides of said backing sheets opposite from the reflecting material, vwhereby each backing sheet is positioned between the reflecting material and a respective layer of piezoelectric plastic material, each of said l0 layers having one surface facing said reflecting material and the other surface facing a direction of transmission and reception of supersonic signals, and having an insulated electrode on one of said surfaces covered by a layer of ultra-sound transparent insulating material.
