技术领域technical field

背景技术Background technique
传统的阵列超声波传感器是通过将多个独立的超声波换能器晶片呈阵列式摆放形成的。然而,由于超声波探头本身具有一定体积,相邻超声波换能器晶片单元并排在一起时,超声波换能器晶片单元之间的间距无法缩小至发射单元的半个发射信号波长,如此超声波换能器晶片单元之间容易产生旁栅现象。为了避免旁栅现象,往往需要通过控制超声波发射单元的发射角度来实现,但是这样操作较为麻烦。The traditional array ultrasonic sensor is formed by arranging multiple independent ultrasonic transducer wafers in an array. However, due to the volume of the ultrasonic probe itself, when adjacent ultrasonic transducer chip units are arranged side by side, the distance between the ultrasonic transducer chip units cannot be reduced to half the emission signal wavelength of the transmitting unit. Side grid phenomenon is easy to occur between wafer units. In order to avoid the side grid phenomenon, it is often necessary to control the emission angle of the ultrasonic emission unit, but this operation is more troublesome.

具体实施方式detailed description
下面对本发明的实施例进行详细说明:Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below:
如图1、图2所示,本发明实施例所述的一种阵列超声波传感器,包括:第一压电振动板10、第一支撑板20、基板30及盖板40。As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , an array ultrasonic sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 , a first support plate 20 , a base plate 30 and a cover plate 40 .

The first vibration area is provided with a first electrode 11 . The first support plate 20 is provided with a through hole 21 or a blind hole corresponding to the first vibration area, and the first support plate 20 is connected with the first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 . When a voltage is applied to the first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 through the first electrode 11, the first vibration region of the first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 vibrates, and the through hole 21 or blind hole provided on the first support plate 20 is equivalent to It is used to avoid the first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 expanding outward.
所述盖板40罩设在所述第一压电振动板10外部,所述盖板40设有两个以上超声波放射孔41。所述超声波放射孔41与所述第一振动区一一相应设置。所述盖板40内侧壁设有若干个分隔板42。所述分隔板42位于相邻所述第一振动区之间。这样,分隔板42便将第一压电振动板10上的第一振动区分隔开,第一振动区因振动产生的超声波信号经过超声波放射孔41放射出,相邻第一振动区之间所产生的超声波信号通过分隔板42隔开后,便不会相互干扰。The cover plate 40 is arranged outside the first piezoelectric vibrating plate 10 , and the cover plate 40 is provided with more than two ultrasonic radiation holes 41 . The ultrasonic radiation holes 41 are set corresponding to the first vibration zones one by one. The inner wall of the cover plate 40 is provided with several partition plates 42 .

The control unit is arranged corresponding to the first electrodes 11 one by one, and the control unit is electrically connected to the first electrodes 11 . The control unit controls the applied voltage and the applied voltage frequency of the corresponding first electrode 11, that is, the ultrasonic signals generated by each first vibration zone are controlled by the corresponding control unit of the first vibration zone, so that the control unit and the corresponding first electrode 11, The first piezoelectric vibration plate 10 and the through hole 21 of the first support plate 20 form an independent ultrasonic transceiver element. In this way, a plurality of independent ultrasonic transceiver array elements are combined to form an integrated body, and the distance between adjacent first vibration regions can be reduced to less than half the wavelength of the ultrasonic transmitting signal. Therefore, when the object under test is detected, ultrasonic signals can be transmitted with a delay by the ultrasonic transmitting array element, so that the transmitting array grating lobes and the receiving array zeros can cancel each other out to avoid side grid phenomenon.

There are more than two through holes 21 in the first supporting plate 20, and they are arranged correspondingly one by one, so that a plurality of independent ultrasonic transmitting and receiving array elements can be formed, and the integration of the arrayed ultrasonic sensor can be realized. In this way, this embodiment will not be limited by the volume of the ultrasonic probe as the arrangement spacing of the array ultrasonic sensor in the prior art, and the distance between adjacent first vibration regions in the array ultrasonic sensor of this embodiment can be reduced to be less than or equal to the ultrasonic transmission signal half of the wavelength, so that when the array ultrasonic sensor is in use, the ultrasonic emitting element can avoid the generation of the side grid phenomenon by delaying the emission of the ultrasonic signal, and it is not necessary to solve it by adjusting the emission angle of the ultrasonic emitting element as in the prior art.

More than two second electrodes 51 corresponding to the positions of the through holes 61 are printed on the prepreg;
将所述第一压电陶瓷半固化板、所述第二压电陶瓷半固化板以及第三压电陶瓷半固化板叠置并压紧在一起,后共同烧制固化得到超声波振动机构;The first piezoelectric ceramic prepreg, the second piezoelectric ceramic prepreg, and the third piezoelectric ceramic prepreg are stacked and pressed together, and then jointly fired and solidified to obtain an ultrasonic vibration mechanism;
将所述超声波振动机构、所述基板30与所述盖板40组装在一起。The ultrasonic vibration mechanism, the base plate 30 and the cover plate 40 are assembled together.

The array ultrasonic sensor obtained by the above manufacturing method can realize the integration of the array ultrasonic sensor; in addition, it can realize the spacing between the adjacent first electrodes 11 printed on the first piezoelectric ceramic prepreg plate and the distance between the third piezoelectric ceramic prepreg The distance between the adjacent second electrodes 51 printed on the board is less than half the wavelength of the ultrasonic transmission signal, that is, the distance between the adjacent first vibration area and the adjacent second vibration area can be controlled, and there will be no such thing as the prior art The arrangement spacing of the array ultrasonic sensor is limited by the defect of the volume of the ultrasonic probe, so that when the array ultrasonic sensor is in use, the ultrasonic transmitting array element can avoid the occurrence of the side grid phenomenon by delaying the transmission of the ultrasonic signal, and it is not necessary to adjust the ultrasonic wave as in the prior art. It is solved by the launch angle of the launch array element, and the operation is more convenient.

In this way, during the co-firing process of the first piezoelectric ceramic prepreg, the second piezoelectric ceramic prepreg, and the third piezoelectric ceramic prepreg, since carbon crystals or volatile particles are filled in the through holes 21, it is possible to The initial shape of the through hole 21 is guaranteed. And as the firing time gets longer and the firing temperature gets higher and higher, the piezoelectric ceramic prepreg is gradually solidified and formed. The carbon crystals or volatile particles in the through hole 21 will be gradually converted into gas when the temperature is higher than 600 degrees, and will be discharged to the external environment through the exhaust channel 22 without affecting the product.
