Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sound-generating device technology, specifically a directional sound-generating device and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] During building construction, it is necessary to conduct hollow area detection. Hollow area detection is not an overreaction, but rather a scientific method to eliminate potential problems in advance; it is essentially a form of "preventive maintenance." It balances safety, economy, and aesthetics, and is of great significance to owners, construction companies, and the long-term value of the building. Ignoring hollow areas may not cause immediate problems, but the accumulated risks over the long term often result in repair costs far exceeding the cost of detection. In the construction and maintenance of buildings, hollow area detection is a crucial step in preventative maintenance. Traditional detection methods rely on manual visual inspection or single imaging devices, which are inefficient, unreliable, and pose high safety risks. Currently, detection solutions using remote directional sound sources combined with laser acoustic vibration scanners are gradually being adopted. The core of this approach is to input acoustic vibration excitation signals to the target area through a directional sound source, and then use laser scanning to collect the vibration response to identify hollow areas.

[0003] However, existing directional sound generation technology has many shortcomings in practical applications: (1) Traditional directional sound sources mostly use ordinary sound waves to propagate, which have poor directivity and sound energy is easy to diffuse. When propagating over long distances, the clarity and intensity are insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision directional excitation over long distances of more than 1,000 meters in building exterior wall inspection. (2) The direction adjustment of the existing sound-generating device relies on manual operation, which is labor-intensive. The device is fixed to the base with bolts, making it inconvenient to transport and store. In addition, some directional sound-generating technologies do not fully combine the high directivity characteristics of ultrasound, making it difficult to form a stable sound intensity excitation of about 80dB in the hollow drum detection. Furthermore, the uniform sound field area is insufficient, affecting the detection coverage effect. At the same time, environmental noise can easily interfere with the acquisition of vibration signals, leading to misjudgment in detection. Summary of the Invention

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a directional sound-generating device and its manufacturing process, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention controls the rotation of the first gear by the second motor, which drives the second gear to rotate the angle adjustment mechanism laterally. Combined with the telescopic rod driving the mounting frame to rotate vertically, it realizes the automatic horizontal and vertical adjustment of the sound source output direction without manual operation. This solves the problem of time-consuming and laborious manual adjustment of traditional sound-generating devices, and is especially suitable for high-altitude inspection scenarios such as building exterior walls.

With the movable column sliding along the guide groove and the fixed insertion rod positioning, the height of the device can be flexibly adjusted and quickly stored.

The anti-slip rubber pads of the support feet and the rotating storage design further improve the stability and portability of the device.

[0016] This invention utilizes an installation screw to push a fixing block into the fixing groove of the installation block, thereby achieving rapid fixing and disassembly of the directional sound-emitting body and the Doppler laser device. Compared with the traditional bolt fixing method, it significantly shortens the assembly and disassembly time and facilitates equipment maintenance and transportation.

[0017] This invention combines ultrasonic carrier wave and beamforming technology to generate a highly directional sound beam, enabling precise transmission of sound energy over long distances (over 1000 meters) with a stable sound intensity of around 80 dB, meeting the acoustic excitation requirements for detecting hollow areas in building exterior walls. The noise suppression unit of the signal processing module effectively reduces environmental interference and minimizes false positives. Combined with the high-precision vibration measurement function of the Doppler laser device (measurement sensitivity on the order of 10 picometers), it improves the accuracy of hollow area detection.

[0018] This invention allows for flexible setting of measurement point intervals based on the sound field area, enabling segmented scanning. Combined with the automatic scanning function of the Doppler laser device, it significantly shortens the detection time. For example, in the detection of walls larger than 10 square meters, the scanning time can be controlled within 300 seconds, and the number of measurement points is sufficient to ensure comprehensive detection coverage. It is suitable for detecting hollow areas on exterior walls made of different materials such as mortar + paint and ceramic tiles. Attached Figure Description

The signal processing module 602 filters out environmental interference through the noise suppression unit and combines vibration spectrum and energy analysis to determine whether there is a void.

[0040] Data recording and verification: After the test is completed, the equipment automatically outputs a test report, including parameters such as the test area, number of test points, scanning time, and hollow rate; test points marked as hollow (orange to purplish-red) are manually inspected and confirmed.

Example 1: The distance between the device and the wall is 4.97m, the interval between measuring points is 15×15cm, the detection area is 1.42m², the number of measuring points is 63, and the scanning time is 65s; the detection result is: the hollow rate is 30.2%, and the orange to purple-red measuring points in the figure are significant hollow points, which are confirmed to be correct by manual inspection.

[0042] Example 2: The distance between the device and the wall is 4.97m, the interval between measuring points is 15×15cm, the detection area is 1.42m², the number of measuring points is 63, and the scanning time is 90s; the detection result is: the hollow rate is 36.5%, and the orange to purple-red measuring points in the figure are significant hollow points, which are confirmed to be correct by manual inspection.

[0043] Example 3: The device was 5.2m away from the wall, the measuring point interval was 15×15cm, the detection area was 1.62m², the number of measuring points was 72, and the scanning time was 89s; the detection result was: the hollow rate was 41.7%, and the orange to purplish-red measuring points in the figure were significant hollow points, which were confirmed by manual inspection.

[0046] Example 6: The distance between the device and the wall was 16.26m, the interval between measuring points was 20×20cm, the detection area was 13.56m², the number of measuring points was 339, and the scanning time was 286s; the detection result was: the hollow rate was 0 and there were no abnormalities on the wall surface.

[0047] Example 7: The distance between the device and the wall was 16.26m, the interval between measuring points was 20×20cm, the detection area was 5.12m², the number of measuring points was 128, and the scanning time was 103s; the detection results were: the hollow rate was 0, and there were no abnormalities on the wall surface; the two measuring points marked in red were false detection points. The reason for the false detection was that the workers nearby used electric picks to break open the cement ground, which introduced a lot of noise interference. The false detection was eliminated after the noise suppression function was enabled.

[0048] Example 8: The distance between the device and the wall was 9.28m, the interval between measuring points was 20×20cm, the detection area was 7.6m², the number of measuring points was 190, and the scanning time was 176s; the detection result was: the hollow rate was 43.7%, and the orange to purple-red measuring points in the figure were significant hollow points. Some hollow points were confirmed to be correct by manual inspection.

[0049] Table 1 Summary of External Wall Hollow Area Detection Data

[0050] In the above case, due to the limited uniform sound field area of ​​the directional sound-emitting body 6, when scanning a large area of ​​the wall within the visible range of the device camera, the scanning is carried out by setting up a dot matrix in blocks to ensure that each area is subjected to stable sound excitation. Combined with the high-precision detection of the Doppler laser device 7, efficient hollow detection of exterior walls of different materials and at different distances is achieved, verifying the practicality and reliability of the device.
