The ring-shaped groove (RN) is sized to receive the volume of the contact point (KS) between the connecting wire (D) and the piezoelectric oscillator (S).

Description

Ultraschallwandler mit AnpaßkörperUltrasonic transducer with adapter body
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Ultraschallwandler mit einem Anpaßkörper, beispielsweise in Form einer λ/4-Anpaß- schicht.The present invention relates to an ultrasonic transducer with an adapter body, for example in the form of a λ / 4 adapter layer.
Zur Anpassung von piezoelektrischen Ultraschallwandlern an Me- dien, wie Luft, ist eine Anpaßschicht notwendig. Bei Ultra- schallwandlern mit Anpaßschicht ist eine, mit Elektroden be¬ legte Seite des piezokera isehen Schwingers mit einem Anpaßkör¬ per verklebt. Daraus entsteht das Problem, diese Elektrode zu kontaktieren, ohne die Klebefuge, die die Eigenschaften des Wandlers beeinflußt, wesentlich zu verändern. Dies gilt insbe¬ sondere für die in den Schriften EP 04 77 575 AI, DE 39 41 933 AI und DE 38 32 947 AI beschriebenen Topfwandler, wie sie für Luftmengenmesser oder Gaszähler vorgesehen sind. Darüber hinaus sind bei den Topfwandlern hohe Anforderungen an die Bearbeitung des Topfbodens zu stellen, damit der piezoelektrische Schwinger flächenbündig auf dem Topfbodeή aufliegt. Bei bisher bekannten Ultraschallwandlern kann es wegen fertigungsbedingter Verrun- dungen der Kante zwischen Boden und Innenwand zu Ausschußexem¬ plaren kommen, weil dann die Piezokeramikscheibe nicht mehr ex- akt am To fboden anliegt.A matching layer is necessary to adapt piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers to media such as air. In the case of ultrasonic transducers with a matching layer, one side of the piezoceramic transducer covered with electrodes is glued to a matching body. This creates the problem of contacting this electrode without significantly changing the adhesive joint, which affects the properties of the transducer. This applies in particular to the pot converters described in the documents EP 04 77 575 AI, DE 39 41 933 AI and DE 38 32 947 AI, as are provided for air flow meters or gas meters. In addition, the pot transducers have to make high demands on the processing of the bottom of the pot so that the piezoelectric vibrator lies flush on the bottom of the pot. In the case of previously known ultrasonic transducers, because of the manufacturing-related rounding of the edge between the floor and the inner wall, rejects can be made because the piezoceramic disk no longer lies exactly against the bottom of the pot.
Bisher wurde im Topfboden eine Ansenkung zur Aufnahme der Löt¬ stelle vorgesehen, mit der der betreffende Anschlußdraht mit der Piezokeramikscheibe verbunden ist. Dies führt zu Positio- nierungsproblemen, weil dabei blind mit der Lötstelle genau auf die mit dem Kleber gefüllte Ansenkung getroffen werden muß.So far, a countersink has been provided in the base of the pot for receiving the soldering point, by means of which the connecting wire in question is connected to the piezoceramic disk. This leads to positioning problems because the solder joint must be hit blindly with the countersink filled with the adhesive.
Bei den beispielsweise aus der DE 25 41 492 bekannten richt¬ scharfen Ultraschall (RU) -Wandlern, werden in die Kleberschicht dünne Anschlußdrähte eingelegt, welche die Elek¬ trode des Piezoelements an der Klebestelle mit einem Metallring verbinden. Dieser Metallring muß seinerseits mit dem Anschlu߬ draht verbunden werden, was erfahrungsgemäß ebenfalls proble- matisch ist.In the directional sharp ultrasound (RU) transducers known for example from DE 25 41 492, the Adhesive layer inserted thin connecting wires that connect the electrode of the piezo element at the adhesive point with a metal ring. This metal ring in turn must be connected to the connecting wire, which experience has also shown to be problematic.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Ultraschallwandler zu schaffen, bei dem die Piezokeramikscheibe fertig kontaktiert in beliebiger Einsetzdrehlage in den Anpaß- körper eingesetzt werden kann, ohne daß die dem Anpaßkörper zu¬ gewandte Kontaktierungsstelle der Piezokeramikscheibe einen flächenbündigen Sitz der Piezokeramikscheibe auf dem Wandler¬ topfboden behindert.The present invention has for its object to provide an ultrasonic transducer in which the piezoceramic disk, when fully contacted, can be inserted into the adapter body in any insertion rotational position without the contacting point of the piezoceramic disk facing the adapter body ensuring that the piezoceramic disk sits flush on the transducer ¬ pot bottom hampers.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Ultraschallwandler gemäß dem Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by an ultrasonic transducer according to claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängi¬ gen Ansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Aus¬ sparung aus einer im Anpaßkörper ausgebildeten konzentrischen Ringnut besteht, die das Volumen der Kontaktierungsstelle in beliebiger Einsetzdrehlage der Piezokeramikscheibe aufnehmen kann.The object is achieved in that the recess consists of a concentric annular groove formed in the adapter body, which can accommodate the volume of the contact point in any rotational position of insertion of the piezoceramic disk.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand mehrerer Figuren be¬ schrieben.The invention is described below with reference to several figures.
Figur la, b, c zeigt schematisch verschiedene Ansichten derFigure la, b, c shows schematically different views of the
Komponenten des Ultraschallwandlers gemäß einem Ausführungsbei- spiel der vorliegenden Erfindung vor und nach dem Zusammenbau. Figur 2 zeigt schematisch den Querschnitt eines RU-Wandlers Entsprechend der vorliegenden Erfindung wird zur Behebung der obengenannten Probleme eine Ringnut RN, wie in Figur la, b und c zu sehen, in den Boden des topfförmigen Anpaßkörpers T einge¬ bracht, die der Lötstelle KS, unabhängig von der Drehlage zwi¬ schen dem piezoelektrischen Schwinger S und dem Anpaßkörper T, den benötigten Platz gibt. Zudem wirkt sich eine Verrundung der Kante zwischen dem Topfboden und der Topfwand nicht mehr stö¬ rend aus, weil die Kante des piezoelektrischen Schwingers S nicht mehr direkt auf den Topfboden aufliegt.Components of the ultrasound transducer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention before and after assembly. Figure 2 shows schematically the cross section of an RU converter According to the present invention, an annular groove RN, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 a, b and c, is introduced into the bottom of the cup-shaped adapter body T to remove the problems mentioned above, that of the solder joint KS, regardless of the rotational position between the piezoelectric Schwinger S and the adapter body T, the space required. In addition, a rounding of the edge between the pot base and the pot wall no longer has a disruptive effect because the edge of the piezoelectric vibrator S no longer lies directly on the pot base.
Der topfförmige Anpaßkörper T ist in dem gezeigten Ausführungs¬ beispiel mit einer Vergußmasse V ausgefüllt. Diese sollten schalldämpfende Eigenschaften haben. Geeignet sind Materialien, wie z.B. Silikongummi mit Bleioxid - oder Wolframoxid - Antei- len. Neben Silikongummi sind auch andere Werkstoffe, die nach einer Vermengung mit schwereren Partikeln weich bleiben, ver¬ wendbar.The cup-shaped adapter body T is filled with a potting compound V in the exemplary embodiment shown. These should have sound absorbing properties. Materials such as Silicone rubber with lead oxide - or tungsten oxide - parts. In addition to silicone rubber, other materials that remain soft after being mixed with heavier particles can also be used.
Bei einem RU-Wandler, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe eine konzentrische Ringnut RN in den Anpaßkörper T, der hier scheibenförmig gestaltet ist, eingelassen. Die Ringnut ist so dimensioniert, daß die Kontaktierungsstelle KS unabhän¬ gig von der Drehlage des piezoelektrischen Schwingers S Platz findet. Konzentrisch zur Ringnut RN liegt ein Wulst W zur Zen- trierung des piezoelektrischen Schwingers S und des Metallrings M. Hinter dem Wulst W folgt eine zweite Ringnut RN2, deren Ab¬ messungen so dimensioniert sind, daß darin ein Grat, den der Metallring M möglicherweise auf seiner unteren Innenkante auf¬ weist, zu liegen kommt. Durch diese konstruktiven Maßnahmen ist sowohl ein planarer Sitz des Metallrings M und des piezoelek¬ trischen Schwingers S, als auch eine einfache Montage gewähr¬ leistet. Wie bereits oben beschrieben, wirkt sich auch hier ei¬ ne Verrundung der Kanten Kl und K2 nicht mehr störend aus, weil die Kanten des Schwingers S und des Metallrings M nicht mehr direkt auf dem Anpaßkörper T aufliegen.In the case of an RU converter, as shown in FIG. 2, a concentric annular groove RN is let into the adapter body T, which is designed here in the form of a disk, to achieve the object. The annular groove is dimensioned such that the contacting point KS is accommodated independently of the rotational position of the piezoelectric vibrator S. Concentric to the ring groove RN there is a bead W for centering the piezoelectric vibrator S and the metal ring M. Behind the bead W there is a second ring groove RN2, the dimensions of which are dimensioned such that there is a burr which the metal ring M may have its lower inner edge has to come to rest. These constructive measures ensure both a planar fit of the metal ring M and the piezoelectric vibrator S and simple assembly. As already described above, a rounding of the edges K1 and K2 no longer has a disruptive effect here either, because the edges of the vibrator S and the metal ring M no longer lie directly on the adapter body T.
Für die Abmessungen der Ringnut RN gibt es keine Einschränkun- gen. Die Ringnut RN kann bei in Ringrandnähe angeordneten dün¬ nen Anschlußdrähten D relativ schmal und flach sein. Die Kontaktierung ist nicht auf Löten beschränkt. Weitere Kon- taktierungsmöglichkeiten sind Schweißen, Bonden, Aufkleben mit Leitsilber, Aufkleben und Kontaktieren mit Leitsilber-Lack. Auch Einbrennsilber oder eine Sputterschicht, welche um denThere are no restrictions on the dimensions of the ring groove RN. The ring groove RN can be relatively narrow and flat in the case of thin connecting wires D arranged near the ring edge. Contacting is not limited to soldering. Further contact options are welding, bonding, gluing with conductive silver, gluing and contacting with conductive silver lacquer. Also stoving silver or a sputter layer, which around the
Scheibenrand herumgezogen ist, ist zur Kontaktierung verwend¬ bar. Weiterhin sind, in die Klebeschicht eingelegte, dünne Drähte zur Kontaktierung möglich. The edge of the disc is pulled around can be used for contacting. Furthermore, thin wires inserted into the adhesive layer for contacting are possible.
