Due to its outstanding advantages such as small size, simple structure and high stability, the fiber optic extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer (EFPI) acoustic wave sensor has attracted widespread attention and has become a research hotspot for partial discharge ultrasonic detection. With the rapid development of my country's electricity, the fault signals of power equipment are becoming weaker and more difficult to detect, and the requirements for the detection sensitivity and frequency response range of the fiber optic EFPI sensor are becoming higher and higher.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dual-diaphragm optical microphone and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, reduce the difficulty of preparing the dual-diaphragm optical microphone, and improve the product yield.

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] The present invention provides a method for preparing a double-diaphragm optical microphone, comprising the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Make the single-mode optical fiber 1 pass through the first sleeve 2, which is a hollow cylindrical structure, and then put the second sleeve 3 outside the first sleeve 2, which is a cylindrical structure, and make the end face of the second sleeve 3 higher than the end face of the single-mode optical fiber 1 extending from the first sleeve 2;

[0034] Step 2: pouring the polymer glue 401 into the pouring space surrounded by the end surface of the first sleeve 2 and the inner wall of the second sleeve 3, and the poured polymer glue 401 wraps the portion of the single-mode optical fiber 1 extending from the first sleeve 2;

[0035] Step 3: Cover the silicon diaphragm 5 on the top of the second sleeve 3, and solidify the injected polymer glue 401;

[0036] Step 4: The single-mode optical fiber 1 is passed through ultraviolet light 8, and the ultraviolet light 8 irradiates the polymer glue 401 in the injection space, and forms a polymer waveguide film 4 after development;

[0037] Step 5: The first sleeve 2, the second sleeve 3, the polymer waveguide film 4 and the silicon diaphragm 5 are combined to form a double-diaphragm optical microphone.

[0038] The preparation method of the dual-diaphragm optical microphone of the present invention adopts a single-mode optical fiber 1 to pass ultraviolet light 8 to irradiate polymer glue 401 to form a polymer waveguide film 4, which overcomes the problems of the prior art that the 3D printing and two-photon polymerization processes are complicated, costly, and difficult to mass produce; at the same time, the present invention adopts a process of first preparing the polymer waveguide film 4 and then combining the polymer waveguide film 4 with the silicon diaphragm 5, which effectively avoids the pollution of environmental dust in the preparation process and improves the effectiveness of the preparation process and the yield rate of the product.

[0039] In step one, a cutting knife can be used to cut the end of the single-mode optical fiber 1 flat to ensure smooth transmission of the ultraviolet light 8, and then the single-mode optical fiber 1 is passed through the first sleeve 2. The cut end of the single-mode optical fiber 1 is higher than the top surface of the first sleeve 2, and the single-mode optical fiber 1 and the first sleeve 2, and the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 3 are bonded and fixed.

[0040] When bonding and fixing the single-mode optical fiber 1 to the first sleeve 2, and the first sleeve 2 to the second sleeve 3, a syringe can be used to inject UV glue into the gaps between the single-mode optical fiber 1 and the first sleeve 2, and between the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 3, and the UV glue is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light to achieve bonding and fixing of the single-mode optical fiber 1 to the first sleeve 2, and the first sleeve 2 to the second sleeve 3, so as to ensure the bonding firmness of the single-mode optical fiber 1 to the first sleeve 2, and the first sleeve 2 to the second sleeve 3.

[0041] It should also be noted that in step 2, when the polymer glue 401 is poured into the pouring space, the polymer glue 401 is poured until it is flush with the top end surface of the second sleeve 3, providing a guarantee for the combination of the prepared polymer waveguide film 4 and the silicon diaphragm 5.

[0042] At the same time, in step three, the silicon diaphragm 5 is aligned so that when the silicon diaphragm 5 covers the top of the second sleeve 3, the outer edge of the silicon diaphragm 5 is flush with the outer edge of the end face of the second sleeve 3, and the silicon diaphragm 5 is bonded to the end face of the second sleeve 3, so that the polymer glue 401 in the injection space is in airtight contact with the silicon diaphragm 5, avoiding external environmental pollution, which is beneficial to improving product quality.

[0043] In practical applications, the sample obtained after bonding the silicon diaphragm 5 can be placed in a vacuum environment, such as a vacuum box, to remove trace gases in the polymer glue 401 , and the polymer glue 401 can be cured by heating to ensure the preparation quality of the polymer waveguide film 4 .

[0044] It should also be emphasized that in step 4, micropores 6 are processed on the side wall of the second sleeve 3, and the micropores 6 are connected to the injection space to balance the pressure difference between the injection space and the external environment, providing convenience for the subsequent developer to enter.

[0045] The sample obtained after the polymer glue 401 is irradiated with ultraviolet light 8 is placed in a developer, and the polymer glue 401 not irradiated is removed after development to obtain the polymer glue 401 irradiated with ultraviolet light 8, thereby forming a columnar polymer waveguide film 4.

[0046] When processing the micro pores 6 , laser 7 etching may be used for micro processing to process the micro pores 6 on the side wall of the second sleeve 3 .

[0047] In order to allow the developer to penetrate quickly, a plurality of micropores 6 may be processed, and all of the micropores 6 are circumferentially arranged around the axis of the second sleeve 3 .

[0048] In addition, in step five, the first sleeve 2, the second sleeve 3, the polymer waveguide film 4 and the silicon diaphragm 5 may be bonded to form a double-diaphragm optical microphone.

[0049] In the preparation method of the dual-diaphragm optical microphone of the present invention, the silicon diaphragm 5, the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 3, and the polymer glue 401 are first glued, and then the polymer waveguide film 4 is prepared, and finally bonding is performed. This is different from the existing method of "preparing the polymer waveguide film first and then bonding the silicon diaphragm", and can effectively avoid the pollution of environmental dust in the preparation process, thereby improving the effectiveness of the preparation process and the yield rate of the product.

[0050] At the same time, the present invention also provides a dual-diaphragm microphone, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of the dual-diaphragm optical microphone. The dual-diaphragm optical microphone includes a first sleeve 2, a second sleeve 3, a single-mode optical fiber 1, a silicon diaphragm 5 and a polymer waveguide film 4. The first sleeve 2 is a hollow cylindrical structure, the second sleeve 3 is a tubular structure, the second sleeve 3 is sleeved on the outside of the first sleeve 2 and protrudes from the first sleeve 2, the silicon diaphragm 5 is arranged on the top surface of the second sleeve 3, the single-mode optical fiber 1 passes through the first sleeve 2, and extends into the injection space surrounded by the side walls of the first sleeve 2, the second sleeve 3 and the silicon diaphragm 5, and the polymer waveguide film 4 connects the silicon diaphragm 5 and one end of the single-mode optical fiber 1 extending into the injection space.

[0051] The dual-diaphragm microphone of the present invention is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of the dual-diaphragm optical microphone, which can effectively improve the production efficiency and product quality of the dual-diaphragm microphone, is suitable for large-scale batch production, and is conducive to reducing the production cost of the dual-diaphragm microphone.

Then, a syringe is used to slowly pour UV glue into the gap between the single-mode optical fiber 1 and the first sleeve 2. Finally, an ultraviolet lamp is used to irradiate to cure the UV glue. Finally, the single-mode optical fiber 1 and the first sleeve 2 are cured and bonded.

[0060] 2)Reference Figure 2As shown in (b), the first sleeve 2 after curing the single-mode optical fiber 1 is inserted into the second sleeve 3, so that a cylindrical groove-shaped injection space is formed between the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 3;

[0063] 5)Reference Figure 2 As shown in (e), firstly, ultraviolet light 8 is input into the single-mode optical fiber 1, and the ultraviolet light 8 irradiates the polymer glue 401; then, the laser 7 is used to micro-process the side surface of the second sleeve 3 to etch a plurality of micro-pores 6 to balance the internal and external pressure difference; finally, the sample is placed in a developer, and after development, the polymer glue 401 that has not been irradiated is removed, leaving the polymer glue 401 irradiated by the ultraviolet light 8, that is, a columnar polymer waveguide film 4 is formed;

[0064] 6)Reference Figure 2 As shown in (f), further measures are taken to bond the second sleeve 3-silicon diaphragm 5 and the polymer waveguide film 4-silicon diaphragm 5, and finally form a double-diaphragm optical microphone based on the polymer waveguide film of this embodiment.

[0065] Embodiment 3

[0066] The operation process of the third embodiment is basically the same as that of the second embodiment, except that the present embodiment provides structural parameters of a double-diaphragm microphone sample that is actually prepared.

[0067] The present embodiment provides a double-diaphragm optical microphone based on a polymer waveguide film, and the parameters of each component are as follows: the cladding diameter of the single-mode optical fiber 1 is 125μm, and the core diameter is 9μm; the first sleeve 2 is made of quartz glass, and its inner diameter is 130μm and its outer diameter is 2000μm; the second sleeve 3 is made of quartz glass, and its inner diameter is 2050μm, the outer diameter is 3050μm, and the wall thickness is 500μm; the polymer glue 401 is PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), the diameter of the polymer waveguide film 4 is 9μm, and the length is 50μm; the diameter of the silicon diaphragm 5 is 3050μm, and the thickness is 40μm; the diameter of the cylindrical cavity formed between the silicon diaphragm 5, the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 3 is 2050μm, and the length is 1040μm; the diameter of the micropore 6 etched in the second sleeve 3 is 200μm, and the number of micropores 6 is 4.
