Fracture-proof vulcanized structure for thin-walled spherical hydrophone
By employing a stainless steel spindle connected to a hemispherical contact surface of a universal rotating spherical nylon adapter shaft in a thin-walled spherical hydrophone, and using a half-type vulcanization mold design, torsional stress is eliminated, solving the problem of sphere breakage during the vulcanization process of the thin-walled spherical hydrophone and improving the yield rate.

AI Technical Summary
Existing thin-walled spherical hydrophones are prone to breakage during vulcanization due to torsional stress concentration, resulting in a low yield.
The design employs a hemispherical contact surface between a stainless steel spindle and a universal spherical nylon adapter shaft. Combined with the design of a half-type vulcanization mold, this achieves a coaxial arrangement of the piezoelectric ceramic ball, rigid foam gasket, universal spherical nylon adapter shaft, and stainless steel spindle. Furthermore, the design eliminates torsional stress by covering the spindle with vulcanized rubber.
This effectively prevents the thin-walled spherical hydrophone from breaking during the vulcanization process, thus improving the product yield.
