Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of material testing, and in particular to a simple fixture for testing the sound velocity and sound attenuation of solid materials by an insertion substitution method. Background Art

[0002] The structure of ultrasonic transducers used in underwater acoustic detection, non-destructive testing, and medical ultrasonic imaging diagnosis is generally composed of a backing, a piezoelectric sheet, a matching layer, and an acoustic lens. The acoustic impedance of piezoelectric materials is relatively high. The acoustic impedance of piezoelectric ceramics or single crystals is generally around 35MRayl, and the acoustic impedance of piezoelectric or single crystal composite materials is generally around 20MRayl. In general, the backing material is expected to have a larger acoustic attenuation to reduce ringing, make the signal cleaner, and improve the resolution; the matching layer material is expected to have a smaller acoustic attenuation so that more signals can pass through, thereby improving sensitivity. Different materials have different sound propagation speeds and acoustic impedances. When designing and making backings and matching layers, it is necessary to measure the sound velocity and acoustic attenuation of the materials in order to select backings and matching layers with appropriate acoustic impedance and thickness.

[0003] The insertion-substitution method is the primary method for measuring the sound velocity and attenuation of solid materials. However, single-sample insertion-substitution methods can produce errors and low accuracy. These errors stem from two main sources: First, the relative position of the transmitting and receiving transducers is offset, tilted, or not aligned on the same central axis, resulting in inaccurate signal amplitude data. Second, the sheet sample is not perpendicular to the central axis of the transducer, resulting in a sound path greater than the sample thickness, which can lead to inaccurate time measurements and thus errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a simple fixture for testing the sound velocity and sound attenuation of solid materials using an insertion substitution method, comprising a base.

[0006] Both ends of the base are provided with end caps, and a through hole is opened inside the two end caps, the two through holes are symmetrically arranged, and the two through holes are coaxially arranged.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, four legs are provided, and the four legs are fixedly connected to four corners of the lower surface of the base respectively.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, anti-skid grooves are provided on both sides of the base, and a plurality of anti-skid grooves are provided, and the plurality of anti-skid grooves are evenly arranged.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, threaded holes are provided on the tops of the two end heads, and the bottom ends of the threaded holes are connected to the through holes.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the placement chute is located between the two end heads, and the placement chute is configured to be V-shaped.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, first elastic rubber washers are provided on opposite surfaces of the two circular tubes, and the two first elastic rubber washers are provided correspondingly.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, a second elastic rubber washer is provided at one end of the two circular tubes away from the first elastic rubber washer, and the two second elastic rubber washers are respectively provided corresponding to the two end heads.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is as follows: the utility model obtains a simple fixture for testing the sound velocity and sound attenuation of solid materials by the insertion substitution method through the above design. When in use, the two circular tubes and the two through holes are coaxially arranged. When the solid material needs to be tested, the test material is placed between the two circular tubes, and then the two circular tubes can be slid.
