ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCERS This invention relates to ultrasonic transducers, and more particularly to such transducers capable of radiating ultrasonic power at a relatively high level (above watts r.m.s) for use, for example, for rodent repelling purposes.
It is an essential feature of certain rodent repelling devices that the ultrasonic signal should be radiated at a frequency which does not affect human beings and other animals it is not desired to disturb. Further, the frequency of the radiated signal must fall within the critical range of maximum sensitivity of the animal to be repelled. The transducer should be capable of being designed to operate in explosion hazard areas and have a very low failure rate. In addition it is desirable that the transducer should radiate the ultrasonic signals in as broad a field as possible and with the maximum power.
I-lom type dynamic loud speakers (Tweeters) have been employed to convert the electrical signals generated for pest control into ultrasonic waves. These devices have a number of limitations and problems associated with their use for this purpose. Primarily a tweeter is designed to operate from about 5 kc/s up to a maximum of 20 kc/s. Because the critical sensitivity of the rodent to be repelled lies between 20 and 50 kc/s the tweeter is operated beyond its upper limit with a consequent large reduction in power. Dynamic speakers of whatever type have a resonant frequency much below that of the desired ultrasonic frequency and therefore considerable power is required to drive the diaphragm and this introduces unacceptable losses. Because of the small diaphragm diameter and associated horn, at high frequencies the angle of radiation is narrow and sharply directional necessitating a number of speakers to cover a given area. Dynamic speakers used for this purpose are inherently unreliable when operated above 20 kc/s and the presence of a current carrying voice coil which dissipates heat can make the speaker unsuitable in certain explosion hazard areas.
The present invention consists in an ultrasonic transducer which includes a piezo-electric element of annular form having electrodes provided upon its inner and outer curved surfaces to permit the crystal to be vibrated in the circumferential mode, wherein a radiating member in the form of a cup or tube closed at one end is fitted to the annulus, support means being attached to the bottom of the cup or tube.
IN THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through an ultrasonic transducer according to the present invention, and
FIGS. 2 and 3 show two modifications to FIG. 1.
In carrying the invention into effect according to one convenient mode by way of example, FIG. 1 shows an ultrasonic transducer arranged to convert electrical signals into radiated ultrasonic energy in the region of one fixed frequency for the purpose of repelling rodents.
The transducer includes a piezo-electric ceramic ring 1 formed from Barium Titanate, Lead Zirconate or other polarized polycrystalline material having silvered surfaces 2 and which can be caused, when energized by a suitable electrical generator via leads 3, to vibrate in the circumferential mode.
Within the ring 1 there is fitted a radiating member in the fonn of a tapered cup or tube 4 closed at one end and dimensioned to resonate at a common frequency with the ring 1, which frequency is made to coincide with the sharply critical threshold of the rodents sensitivity. The whole assembly is impedance matched into air and eliminates the need for a conventional diaphragm.
To facilitate mounting the device without damping and to increase the acoustic coupling, the cup 4 is mounted on a bracket 5 with the aid of a bolt 6 and resilient washer 7 at or adjacent to the geometrical center of the base of the cup 4, the best position preferably being ascertained by finding the node with the aid of a powder.
In this way, the ring 1 is in direct contact with the cup 4 for the radiation of ultrasonic energy with the greatest efficiency, the whole assembly being supported in such a manner as to allow maximum vibration in the desired mode. The cup behaves as a resonant element and is dimensioned so as to amplify the vibrations of the ring and increase the area of radiation. Since the mode of vibration is circumferential, the transducer exhibits the multi-path radiation characteristics required for general radiation coverage of an area.
The cup 4 is preferably made an interference fit within the ring 1. It is composed of a therrnosetting plastics material, and the density of the material, the thickness of the walls and the overall length of the cup are chosen to provide resonance at the desired frequency, the final tuning being effected by grinding the periphery at the open end of the cup 4 to achieve maximum displacement, i.e., an antinode.
Allowance is made for the efiect of the mass of air acting upon the cup by dimensioning the ring to resonate, by itself, at a frequency say 5 percent higher than the final desired frequency. In a particular example, a Barium Titanate ring of outside diameter 2.8 inches, inside diameter 2.3 inches and length 1 inch resonated at 23 kc/s. Attached to a cup, the overall effective frequency fell to 21.98 kc/s.
If desired two cups may be secured together coaxially on a common support to face in opposite directions, two rings being provided to fonn a twin unit.
In an alternative arrangement shown in FIG. 2 a plastic plate 8 is provided to bear upon ring 1 rear face, pressure being exerted by bolt 6 and associated washer through cup 4 base. Mechanical coupling of ring 1 to cup 4 is then progressive via the resilient washer 7 which is mounted between bracket 5 and end plate 8. By effectively restricting vibration of ring 1 in the longitudinal mode, the amplitude of vibration in the unrestricted mode, i.e., circumferential direction is increased. Moreover thering l and cup 4 are positively located with respect to each other. 1
In a further. alternative arrangement shown in FIG. 3, the acoustic efficiency is increased by fitting the ring 1 into a further tapered cup 9 positioned co-axially with the cup 4, thereby adding to the total vibrating area since the ring 1 is in contact with both cups 4 and 9.
The outer cup 9 is dimensioned so that at resonance it is complementary to the inner cup 4 (i.e., no standing waves are formed) and both cups are molded from a polystyrene plastic material chosen to suit the operating parameter imposed. The spacing between the two cups 4 and 9 is such as to avoid acoustic interaction.
A vibration absorber 8 having threaded studs 8a and 8b has a natural frequency of 1,500 c/s and is secured to nodal points on the cups 4 and 9 thereby presenting a negligible load. The absorber 8 serves to couple the bottoms of both cups 4 and 9, with the ring 1 trapped between the two cups 4 and 9, and to couple all these components to the brackets 5. As a nut 10 is tightened on stud 8a, it progressively increases the mechanical coupling between ring 1 and the two cups 4 and 9 so that a certain degree of amplitude tuning adjustment can be obtained in this way.
In certain circumstances, it may be desirable to eliminate the inner cup 4, suitable means being provided for bracing the ring 1 against the absorber 8.
