Miniaturized MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) capacitive composite resonance type vector hydrophone

Abstract

The invention discloses a miniaturized MEMS capacitive composite resonance type vector hydrophone, and belongs to the technical field of underwater acoustic signal detection. The vector hydrophone comprises an MEMS capacitive accelerometer, a fixed core, a vertical suspension rod, a piezoelectric ceramic ring, an acoustic transmission sealing shell, and a conical spiral spring. The MEMS capacitiveacceleration sensor is orthogonally arranged in the fixed core; the vertical suspension rod penetrates through the whole fixed core; the piezoelectric ceramic ring sleeves the outside of the fixed core; and the acoustic transmission sealing shell covers the piezoelectric ceramic ring through a potting process. The conical spiral spring is connected with the vertical suspension rod, and the hydrophone is hung on a fixing support for use. The size of the hydrophone is reduced, sound pressure signals and vibration velocity signals at the same underwater position can be detected, the accuracy ofsignal detection is improved, and the hydrophone is simple in structure, good in consistency and high in reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater acoustic signal detection, in particular to a miniaturized MEMS capacitive composite co-vibration vector hydrophone. Background technique [0002] Traditional scalar hydrophones, also known as sound pressure hydrophones, are generally made of piezoelectric ceramics and other materials, and have various shapes and sizes. They are mostly used as standard hydrophones, but they can only measure scalar parameters in the sound field. [0003] The core sensing element inside the traditional co-vibration vector hydrophone is the vibration sensor. Most of the vibration sensors used in hydrophone processing at home and abroad are acceleration or speed sensors based on the piezoelectric principle. This traditional piezoelectric vector hydrophone is large in size and heavy in weight, and requires complex processing circuits at the back end, and is limited by traditional processing techniques, resulting in...
