Multi-plate shell bending transducer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical fields of underwater sound detection, ocean engineering and loudspeakers, in particular to a multi-plate-shell bending transducer.
Background
In underwater sound detection, in order to increase the detection distance, a low-frequency high-power emission transducer is generally selected as an active detection acoustic emitter. The bending transducer generates low-frequency sound waves by using the bending vibration of the plate shell, has the advantage of small-size high-power emission, and is very suitable for underwater sound wave long-distance detection. For low frequency transmitting transducers, it is generally desirable that they be sufficiently wide in operating bandwidth and small in size weight and have a relatively uniform sound field distribution throughout space. However, conventional flextensional transducers are small in size but do not have a wide enough operating bandwidth. In addition, for conventional flextensional transducers, the spatial distribution of the acoustic radiation energy tends to have significant directivity after the operating frequency reaches an octave. In addition, the low-frequency small-size underwater acoustic transducer has the common problem that the working performance sensitively changes along with the underwater working depth. The problems limit the application range and the application environment of the low-frequency small-size sound source, and in view of the problems, the invention provides a novel bending transducer based on multi-plate-shell sound radiation, which can remarkably improve the problems faced in the small-size sound source and can be used as a good loudspeaker in the air due to the characteristics of the novel bending transducer.
According to the search of the prior art patent literature, the Chinese invention patent publication No. CN103646643B discloses a bending transducer adopting a PVDF piezoelectric film, belongs to the technical field of underwater sound detection, and has the characteristics of low frequency, broadband, high receiving sensitivity, high-power sound radiation and horizontal omni-directional directivity. The piezoelectric ceramic wafer stack comprises a piezoelectric ceramic wafer stack body and a PVDF film, wherein the PVDF film surrounds the piezoelectric ceramic wafer stack body, a connecting piece is arranged between the PVDF film and the piezoelectric ceramic wafer stack body, and the piezoelectric ceramic wafer stack body further comprises a device for enabling the PVDF film to generate prestress. The PVDF film is adopted to replace a metal shell of the traditional flextensional transducer, the PVDF film and the piezoelectric crystal stack are adopted as sensitive elements, the PVDF film vibrates in a flexural vibration mode of the film under a simple support boundary condition, the piezoelectric crystal stack vibrates in a longitudinal vibration mode, a higher bandwidth can be obtained through mode coupling, and broadband emission sound waves are realized. The invention provides a multi-plate-shell bending transducer, which solves the problems of insufficient working bandwidth, limited application range, applicable environment and the like. Thus, the method described in this document is a different inventive concept than the method described in the present invention.
