Problems solved by technology

However, in this case, there is a problem of constructing a beamforming algorithm for converging ultrasonic waves due to the shape of the lens and the internal medium, or having a complicated system configuration related to the beamforming algorithm
Therefore, the beamforming efficiency will degrade
[0006] In addition, if the curvature of the lens is minimized in order to improve the system complexity, the area that can be diagnosed by the ultrasonic diagnostic device will be limited
Therefore, there is also a problem that the difficulty of observing a wide area increases

Abstract

The invention discloses a transducer module provided with a transducer, an ultrasonic probe and a method of producing a frame where the transducer is fixed. Specifically, the invention provides a transducer module with a curved surface frame provided with a transducer, a method of producing the curved surface frame, and an ultrasonic probe serving as an embodiment applying the transducer module of the curved surface frame and comprising the transducer module. The transducer module includes a curved surface frame which is formed from a flexible material in a curved shape and includes a front surface and a rear surface; a transducer which is disposed on the front surface; and a support frame which is mounted on the rear surface and supports the curved surface frame.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2012-76014 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 12, 2012, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the invention relate to a transducer module in which a transducer is arranged, an ultrasound probe and a method of producing a frame to which the transducer is fixed. Background technique [0003] Transducers are used to convert a certain type of energy into another type of energy and are also referred to as converters. Such transducers are used in various technical fields such as antennas, speakers, headphones, CRTs (cathode ray tubes), sonar detectors, and various sensors, and are used to transfer electrical signals, operations, various waves (e.g., Sound waves and electromagnetic waves) are converted into predetermined electrical signals, light, image signals, etc. Similarly, the transducer is also used to generate ult...
