Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic transducers, and in particular to a magnetically fast-installing ultrasonic transducer. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electrical energy into sound energy and vice versa, playing a central role in ultrasonic technology. It acts like an "energy translator." When an electrical signal is input, the piezoelectric material inside the transducer (such as quartz crystal or ceramic) undergoes mechanical deformation, generating ultrasonic waves which are then emitted into the surrounding medium, thus converting electrical energy into sound energy. Conversely, when ultrasonic waves act on the transducer, the piezoelectric material generates electrical signals due to mechanical pressure, completing the conversion of sound energy into electrical energy. The ultrasonic transducer (oscillator) converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (ultrasonic vibration) through the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics, and amplifies this energy through front and rear radiating blocks with acoustic impedance matching. Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the ultrasonic vibrations generated by the transducer (oscillator). In water, the cavitation effect mechanically removes contaminants from the surface being cleaned, while simultaneously promoting a chemical reaction between the cleaning fluid and the contaminants, achieving the purpose of cleaning the object. Ultrasonic transducers are widely used in medical ultrasound diagnosis (such as B-mode ultrasound), industrial non-destructive testing, sonar detection, ultrasonic cleaning and other fields, and are key components for realizing the application of ultrasonic technology.

[0003] In existing technologies, ultrasonic transducers are typically installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank in practical applications of ultrasonic cleaning. However, current methods of fixing ultrasonic transducers to the tank mostly involve adhesive bonding or screw connections. When using adhesive bonding, the glue requires a certain curing time, resulting in low installation efficiency, and residual glue is difficult to remove during disassembly, potentially damaging the transducer or the tank. Screw fixing is cumbersome, requiring tools to tighten the screws during installation, and is also troublesome and time-consuming during disassembly. These traditional installation methods bring inconvenience to the installation and disassembly of ultrasonic transducers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetically fast-installing ultrasonic transducer, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A magnetically fast-installing ultrasonic transducer includes an ultrasonic transducer body. The ultrasonic transducer body is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of a cleaning tank via a magnetic installation mechanism. The magnetic installation mechanism includes a pre-installation seat, a compression spring, a movable ring, a first magnetic ring, a fixed collar, and a second magnetic ring. The pre-installation seat is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank via a flange ring on its outer wall. The compression spring is fixedly connected inside the pre-installation seat. The movable ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the compression spring. The first magnetic ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable ring. The fixed collar is sleeved on the outside of the ultrasonic transducer body and is also fixedly connected to the pre-installation seat via a second magnetic ring on its top surface.

[0007] Furthermore, a flange ring is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the pre-installation seat, and an inner cavity is opened on the bottom surface of the pre-installation seat, and a through hole communicating with the inner cavity is opened on the top surface of the pre-installation seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the pre-installation base is provided with a set of L-shaped notches that are symmetrical front and back, and the outer wall of the pre-installation base is also provided with a set of vertical sliding openings that are symmetrical left and right.

[0009] Furthermore, the compression spring is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity, and a movable ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the compression spring. A set of left-right symmetrical guide sliders are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable ring, and the guide sliders are movably installed in the vertical sliding opening. A first magnetic ring is also fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing collar is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the ultrasonic transducer body in a fitted manner, and an annular groove is provided on the top surface of the fixing collar. A second magnetic ring is fixedly installed in the annular groove, and a set of front and rear symmetrical limiting blocks are also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing collar.

[0011] Furthermore, the first magnetic ring and the second magnetic ring are magnetically attracted together.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In this invention, the magnetic installation mechanism eliminates the need for traditional adhesive and screw connections. During installation, simply place the ultrasonic transducer body, fitted with a fixing ring, close to the pre-installation base. Utilizing the attraction between the opposite poles of the first and second magnetic rings, magnetic positioning is achieved. Then, push the ultrasonic transducer body and rotate it counterclockwise to allow the limiting block to enter the lateral portion of the L-shaped notch. This quickly and securely connects the ultrasonic transducer body to the bottom of the cleaning tank, eliminating the need for waiting for adhesive to cure or for tedious tightening operations. This significantly shortens installation time and improves efficiency, making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent ultrasonic transducer installations.

[0014] When it is necessary to disassemble the ultrasonic transducer body, rotate the ultrasonic transducer body clockwise to allow the limiting block to enter the L-shaped notch. Then, apply a certain external force to overcome the magnetic force between the two magnetic rings, and the ultrasonic transducer body can be easily separated from the cleaning tank. This avoids the damage to the transducer or water tank that may be caused by residual glue that is difficult to remove, as with adhesive bonding. It also eliminates the need for tools to disassemble, as with screw fixing, making the disassembly process simpler and faster, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and the potential risk of damage to the equipment.

[0015] Meanwhile, the limiting block on the fixing collar is compatible with the L-shaped notch of the pre-installation seat, which further enhances the stability of the ultrasonic transducer body after installation, prevents it from shaking or shifting during operation, and ensures that the ultrasonic transducer can continuously and stably perform its functions.

[0016] Therefore, the magnetic mounting mechanism facilitates the quick installation and removal of the ultrasonic transducer body, making it convenient for the assembly and disassembly of the ultrasonic transducer body. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a magnetic quick-installation ultrasonic transducer includes an ultrasonic transducer body 1. The ultrasonic transducer body 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of a cleaning tank 3 via a magnetic installation mechanism 2. The magnetic installation mechanism 2 includes a pre-installation seat 4, a compression spring 10, a movable ring 11, a first magnetic ring 13, a fixed collar 14, and a second magnetic ring 16. The pre-installation seat 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 3 via a flange ring 5 on its outer wall. The compression spring 10 is fixedly connected inside the pre-installation seat 4. The movable ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the compression spring 10. The first magnetic ring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable ring 11. The fixed collar 14 is sleeved on the outside of the ultrasonic transducer body 1. The fixed collar 14 is also fixedly connected to the pre-installation seat 4 via the second magnetic ring 16 on its top surface.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a flange ring 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the pre-installation base 4. Bolts and other connecting parts can be used to pass through the holes on the flange ring 5 to firmly fix the pre-installation base 4 to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 3. The bottom surface of the pre-installation base 4 has an inner cavity 6, which provides installation space for components such as the compression spring 10 and the movable ring 11. The top surface of the pre-installation base 4 has a through hole 7 that communicates with the inner cavity 6. The through hole 7 can ensure that the ultrasonic transducer body 1 generating part is in close contact with the cleaning tank 3.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a set of L-shaped notches 8 with front and back symmetry are provided on the outer wall of the pre-installation base 4, and a set of vertical sliding notches 9 with left and right symmetry are also provided on the outer wall of the pre-installation base 4. The L-shaped notches 8 can play a limiting and guiding role during the installation of the ultrasonic transducer body 1, and the vertical sliding notches 9 provide a sliding track for the guide slider 12 on the movable ring 11.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the compression spring 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity 6, and a movable ring 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the compression spring 10. A set of left and right symmetrical guide sliders 12 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable ring 11, and the guide sliders 12 are movably installed in the vertical slide opening 9. A first magnetic ring 13 is also fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable ring 11. When the first magnetic ring 13 is pushed, it will cause the movable ring 11 to move into the inner cavity 6, and the guide sliders 12 will slide in the vertical slide opening 9, forcing the compression spring 10 to perform a compression operation, and ensuring that the limiting block 17 can enter the vertical part of the L-shaped notch 8.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the fixing collar 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the ultrasonic transducer body 1 in a sleeve manner, and the top surface of the fixing collar 14 is provided with an annular groove 15. The second magnetic ring 16 is fixedly installed in the groove of the annular groove 15. A set of front and rear symmetrical limiting blocks 17 are also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing collar 14. By rotating the fixing collar 14, the limiting blocks 17 are moved into the transverse part of the L-shaped notch 8, which can limit and fix the ultrasonic transducer body 1 and the pre-installation seat 4 together, further enhancing the stability of the ultrasonic transducer body 1 after connection.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first magnetic ring 13 and the second magnetic ring 16 are magnetically attracted together. The first magnetic ring 13 and the second magnetic ring 16 are magnetically attracted by opposite polarities, thus achieving the magnetic installation of the ultrasonic transducer body 1.

[0029] The specific installation operation of the magnetic mounting mechanism 2 in conjunction with the ultrasonic transducer body 1 is as follows:

[0030] The pre-installation base 4 is pre-installed and fixed to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 3 by bolts and the flange ring 5 installed on the top of the outer wall of the pre-installation base 4. When installing the ultrasonic transducer body 1, the limiting block 17 on the outer wall of the fixing collar 14 of the ultrasonic transducer body 1 is aligned with the vertical part of the L-shaped notch 8 opened on the outer wall of the pre-installation base 4. Then, the ultrasonic transducer body 1 is pushed upward. When the fixing collar 14 is pushed into the inner cavity 6, the first magnetic ring 13 installed on the bottom surface of the movable ring 11 will be aligned with the second magnetic ring 16 installed in the annular groove 15 opened on the top surface of the fixing collar 14. The two magnetic rings are magnetically attracted to each other by opposite polarities. At this point, pushing the ultrasonic transducer body 1 upwards causes the limiting block 17 to enter the top of the vertical portion of the L-shaped notch 8. When the first magnetic ring 13 is subjected to pressure from the ultrasonic transducer body 1, it pushes the movable ring 11 into the inner cavity 6. The guide slider 12 installed on the outer wall of the movable ring 11 slides within the vertical sliding opening 9 on the outer wall of the pre-installation seat 4, forcing the compression spring 10 installed in the inner cavity 6 to tighten. Then, the ultrasonic transducer body 1 rotates counterclockwise, and the second magnetic ring... 16 will be magnetically attracted and rotated with the first magnetic ring 13 until the limiting block 17 enters the lateral part of the L-shaped notch 8, and the ultrasonic transducer body 1 can no longer rotate. Then, the ultrasonic transducer body 1 can be quickly and securely fixed together by magnetic attraction. When it is necessary to disassemble the ultrasonic transducer body 1, rotate the ultrasonic transducer body 1 clockwise so that the limiting block 17 enters the vertical part from the lateral part of the L-shaped notch 8. Because the compression spring 10 loses the limiting force of the fixing collar 14, the compression spring 10 will elastically extend and push the movable Ring 11 moves outward, and limiting block 17 moves within the horizontal portion of L-shaped notch 8 until guide slider 12 slides within vertical sliding opening 9 until it can no longer slide. Since the first magnetic ring 13 and the second magnetic ring 16 are magnetically attracted together at this time, the ultrasonic transducer body 1 is pulled downward to separate the first magnetic ring 13 and the second magnetic ring 16. The ultrasonic transducer body 1 can then be disassembled for repair or replacement, thus facilitating the magnetic quick installation and disassembly of the ultrasonic transducer body 1 and bringing convenience to the disassembly and use of the ultrasonic transducer body 1.

[0031] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
