Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer, in particular to a design scheme of a symmetrical periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer. Background Art

[0002] An electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is a device that uses electromagnetic effects to excite ultrasonic waves in materials. Common devices are used in non-destructive testing, material property evaluation and other fields.

[0003] These devices generate ultrasonic waves through the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the magnetostrictive effect in materials. However, traditional electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers have disadvantages such as low energy conversion efficiency, uneven magnetic field distribution, and complex and difficult to control excited ultrasonic modes.

[0004] Specifically, traditional electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers usually use non-periodic permanent magnet structures, which leads to uneven magnetic field distribution, affecting the excitation efficiency and propagation direction of ultrasonic waves. In addition, due to the suboptimal design of magnetic field and current waveforms, the excited ultrasonic modes often contain multiple modes, making signal analysis complicated and inaccurate. At the same time, the heat problem generated by long-term operation is also a challenge faced by traditional electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers, affecting the stability and reliability of the system. Therefore, a design scheme of a symmetrical periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

The design concept is inspired by the Halbach array and designs a focusing-type permanent magnet unit.

[0027] See also Figure 1 A design scheme for a symmetrical periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer includes symmetrical periodic permanent magnet structure design, coil design and optimization, waveform control and optimization, and overall structure design.

[0028] In this embodiment, the design of the symmetrical periodic permanent magnet structure includes a design concept, a specific structure and a mathematical model. The design concept is inspired by the Halbach array and designs a focusing-type permanent magnet unit. Through a specific magnetization direction and arrangement, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet forms a high-intensity, high-uniformity magnetic field distribution in the coil area.

[0029] In this embodiment, the specific structure is that the permanent magnet units are arranged symmetrically, that is, the magnetization directions of adjacent permanent magnets are opposite, forming a periodic magnetic field structure. This arrangement not only enhances the magnetic field strength in the coil area, but also reduces magnetic field leakage and improves energy conversion efficiency. The mathematical model assumes that the magnetization strength of each permanent magnet unit is M, the magnet spacing is d, the coil radius is r, and the number of coil turns is N. According to the electromagnetic principle, the magnetic field strength H in the coil area can be approximately expressed as:

[0030]

[0031] Where I is the current intensity in the coil. By optimizing parameters such as the magnet spacing d and the coil radius r, the magnetic field intensity H can be further improved, thereby achieving more efficient ultrasonic excitation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the coil design and optimization include coil structure, material selection and optimization method. The coil in the coil structure is wound with multiple turns to increase the current density and magnetic field strength. At the same time, the geometric shape and size of the coil should match the permanent magnet structure to ensure effective coupling of the magnetic field.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material is selected by selecting materials with good conductivity and heat resistance to withstand the heat generated by high current density and long-term operation. The optimization method optimizes the coil's geometry, number of turns, current density and other parameters through simulation tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) to achieve optimal magnetic field distribution and energy conversion efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, waveform control and optimization include mode selection, dispersion control, and mathematical model and simulation. Mode selection can control the excited ultrasonic mode by adjusting parameters such as the arrangement of permanent magnets, the geometry of the coil, and the current waveform, aiming to eliminate the A0 mode and increase the displacement amplitude of the S0 mode.

[0035] In this embodiment, dispersion control is achieved through the dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves, that is, waves of different frequencies have different speeds and attenuation characteristics during propagation. By optimizing the design parameters of the permanent magnet and the coil, the dispersion effect can be reduced and the propagation distance and signal quality of the ultrasonic wave can be improved. The mathematical model and simulation use mathematical tools such as wave equations and finite element analysis to simulate and analyze the propagation process of the ultrasonic wave to optimize the design parameters of the permanent magnet and the coil.

[0036] In this embodiment, the overall structural design includes modular design, heat dissipation design, and packaging and protection. The modular design facilitates assembly and maintenance by designing the permanent magnet unit, coil and other key components into a modular structure. At the same time, the modular design can also improve the flexibility and scalability of the system.

[0037] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation design takes into account the heat generated by long-term operation, and adopts heat dissipation elements such as heat sinks and fans to ensure the stable operation of the system. The packaging and protection adopts shell materials with high waterproof and dustproof levels to improve the durability and reliability of the system.

[0038] Beneficial effects:

[0039] The design of the symmetrical periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer effectively optimizes the magnetic field distribution by adopting a symmetrical periodic permanent magnet structure design, so that the magnetic field strength in the coil area is significantly improved and the distribution is more uniform, thereby greatly improving the energy conversion efficiency; at the same time, the design further enhances the matching degree between the current density and the magnetic field strength by carefully selecting and optimizing the coil structure, materials and parameters, thereby ensuring the effective coupling of the magnetic field; more importantly, through waveform control and optimization means such as mode selection and dispersion control, the present invention successfully realizes the precise regulation of the excited ultrasonic mode, effectively avoiding the signal analysis difficulties caused by the complex modes in traditional transducers; in addition, innovative measures such as modularization, heat dissipation, packaging and protection in the overall structural design not only improve the flexibility and scalability of the system, but also ensure the reliability and durability under long-term stable operation.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] By designing symmetrically arranged permanent magnet units, each unit has a specific magnetization direction and arrangement, so as to form a high-intensity and highly uniform magnetic field in the coil area. When an alternating current passes through the coil, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the changing magnetic field will induce eddy currents in the material, and the eddy currents interact with the static magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets, and ultrasonic waves are excited in the material through the magnetostrictive effect. In addition, by finely adjusting parameters such as the arrangement of the permanent magnets, the geometric shape of the coils and the current waveform, the present invention can achieve precise control of the excited ultrasonic mode, effectively suppress unnecessary modes (such as the A0 mode), and enhance the displacement amplitude of the required mode (such as the S0 mode). Finally, these ultrasonic waves propagate in the material and are used for applications such as non-destructive testing and material property evaluation. The modularization, heat dissipation and packaging protection measures considered in the overall structural design ensure the stability and reliability of the transducer during long-term operation.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
