Mosaic curved disc underwater acoustic transducer

Abstract

The invention provides an underwater acoustic transducer with an inlaid curved disc, which includes a metal central body, an insulating ceramic sheet and an inlaid piezoelectric ceramic ring. disc, and two metal discs are arranged opposite and bonded together, a cylindrical cavity is formed between the two metal discs, there are two insulating ceramic sheets and they are respectively arranged on the outer end surfaces of the two metal discs, inlaid There are also two piezoelectric ceramic rings, which are respectively arranged on the outer end faces of the two insulating ceramic sheets. The underwater acoustic transducer of the present invention has the characteristics of low frequency, high emission voltage response, simple structure, light weight, etc., and can be applied to fields such as hanging sonar, sonobuoys, and underwater acoustic countermeasures. The invention overcomes the disadvantage of low emission voltage response of the traditional bending transducer, and adopts an inlaid piezoelectric ceramic ring as a driving element, which can improve the emission voltage response of the underwater acoustic transducer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transducer, in particular to an underwater acoustic transducer with inlaid curved discs, belonging to the technical field of underwater acoustic transducers. Background technique [0002] Sound waves are the only energy carriers known so far that can travel long distances in seawater. As an underwater acoustic transducer capable of emitting sound waves, it has very important application value whether it is in the civilian field, such as marine geomorphology detection, seabed resource development, etc., or in the military field, such as submarine detection, underwater acoustic communication, etc. [0003] The underwater acoustic transducer is developing towards the low frequency direction. As a curved disk underwater acoustic transducer capable of generating low frequency sound waves in a small volume, due to its low frequency, small size, and relatively simple structure, it is widely used in aerial sonar, acoustic used in na...
