Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metal detection, in particular to a novel metal detection antenna. Background Art
[0002] The metal detection antenna is an important part of the metal detector. The metal detector is mainly used to detect metal objects. It is generally composed of a high-frequency oscillator, an oscillation detector, an audio oscillator, a power amplifier and an antenna. The function of the antenna is to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves and interact with the metal object being detected. When the metal detector antenna emits electromagnetic waves, it will induce eddy currents inside the metal after encountering a metal object, and the eddy currents will generate a magnetic field, thereby affecting the original magnetic field. After the antenna receives this changing magnetic field, it transmits the signal to other parts of the detector for processing and analysis, and finally realizes the detection of metal objects.
[0003] Existing metal detection antennas have some shortcomings: on the one hand, due to various electromagnetic interferences in the environment (for example, from power lines, radio equipment, etc.), existing antennas are easily affected by noise, resulting in unstable detection signals, thereby affecting the accuracy of detection results; on the other hand, the designs of many existing antennas fail to effectively optimize the use of electrical energy, resulting in high power consumption of the detectors, requiring frequent replacement or charging of batteries, reducing the efficiency of use; and after receiving the signal, the existing antennas have limited ability to process and analyze the signal, making it difficult to effectively distinguish between the target object and the background noise, resulting in a high false alarm rate. Therefore, a new type of metal detection antenna is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The receiving coil shielding wire is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner wall of the shell.

[0015] A trapezoidal piece is arranged at the top end of the outer arc surface of the transmitting antenna, and the upper end surface of the transmitting coil connecting wire is electrically connected to the position of the trapezoidal piece on the outer arc surface of the transmitting antenna.
[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. In the utility model, a dual coil design is adopted, which is used for transmitting and receiving signals respectively. By optimizing the shape and material of the coil, the sensitivity of the antenna is significantly improved, and a shielding device is added to the antenna structure, including the electromagnetic induction directions between different arms of the receiving antenna (the antenna is an 8-layer structure, the 3rd and 4th layers are one arm of the receiving antenna, and the 5th and 6th layers are one arm of the receiving antenna) are opposite, combined with an op amp comparator for shielding, and a receiving coil shielding wire is added outside the receiving antenna to form an effective electromagnetic shielding layer. It can significantly reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the detection signal and ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission.
[0018] 2. In the present invention, the power consumption of the antenna is reduced by optimizing the circuit design and material selection, which enables the detector to save electric energy more effectively when used for a long time, prolong the service life of the battery, and reduce the frequency of replacement or charging.
[0019] 3. In this utility model, a high-precision amplifier and filter are integrated to enhance the processing capability after signal reception. The optimized signal processing system can more accurately distinguish the target object from the background noise, reduce the false alarm rate, and improve the accuracy of the sensing results.
[0020] 4. In the utility model, the shielding device not only effectively prevents external electromagnetic interference, but also has multiple through holes to avoid overheating caused by long-term use, ensuring the stable operation of the antenna in various environments.
