Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 The structure of an acoustic sensor 10 , which is designed as a pot transducer, is schematically shown. The acoustic sensor comprises a membrane 12 which is produced from a fiber composite material, for example carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Membrane 12 is connected to piezoelectric actuator 16 , which transmits the electromechanical interaction of acoustic sensor 10 as a transducer element. Furthermore, piezo actuators 16 are connected via openings 13 to electronic adjustment and control elements, which are in figure 1 not shown in

[0041] In order to form the pot converter 10 , the sensor housing 14 is formed as a hollow body which is open at both end faces 13 , 15 . Here, an end face 15 of the hollow body 14 is connected to the membrane 12 . For example, the membrane 12 can be glued to the bearing surface 18 of the sensor housing or of the hollow body 14 . Furthermore, the surrounding side wall 17 of the sensor housing 14 includes two wall sections 2...

Abstract

The invention relates to an acoustic sensor (10) comprising a diaphragm (12) which can oscillate and which has a converter element (16) and comprising a sensor housing (14), wherein the diaphragm (12) is fabricated from a composite fibre material and is connected as a separate component to the sensor housing (14). The invention also relates to a use of the acoustic sensor (10) and to a method for manufacturing same.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an acoustic sensor comprising a sensor housing and a vibration-capable diaphragm with a piezoelectric actuator. The invention also relates to the use of said sensor and its manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] In general, an acoustic sensor converts an acoustic signal or a variable sound pressure caused by the acoustic signal into an electrical signal, in particular a voltage. In this case an acoustic sensor is used as a receiver. Conversely, an acoustic sensor can also function as a transmitter, which converts an electrical signal into an acoustic signal. In order to receive acoustic signals from or transmit acoustic signals to a space, a combination of vibration-capable diaphragms combined with piezo-electric actuators is often used in order to bring about an electromechanical interaction. The mode of operation of such a sensor is based on a direct relationship between the elastic deformation of the membrane...
