Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic transducers, and in particular to a multi-layer sealed ultrasonic transducer. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electromagnetic energy into mechanical energy (acoustic energy), and its working principle is based on the piezoelectric effect. When a piezoelectric material is subjected to an electric field, it deforms, thereby generating mechanical vibrations, which in turn generate ultrasonic waves. Conversely, when ultrasonic waves act on a piezoelectric material, they also cause deformation of the material, thereby generating electrical signals. Therefore, an ultrasonic transducer can not only convert electrical signals into ultrasonic signals, but also convert ultrasonic signals back into electrical signals.

[0003] In practical applications, the temperature characteristics of ultrasonic transducers are a key consideration. During operation, ultrasonic transducers generate heat, and the temperature of their operating environment can also fluctuate. Due to limitations in material properties, single-layer seals often struggle to maintain stable sealing performance in high-temperature or frequently fluctuating environments. As temperature increases, the sealing material may expand or soften, leading to decreased sealing performance and even leakage. This not only affects the normal operation of the ultrasonic transducer but may also accelerate the aging of its internal components, thus shortening its service life.

[0004] Vibration is also a significant factor affecting the lifespan of single-layer seals. Ultrasonic transducers generate high-frequency vibrations during operation, which apply continuous mechanical stress to the seal. Prolonged high-frequency vibration can lead to seal material fatigue, cracking, or detachment, resulting in a loss of sealing effectiveness. This wear and tear is particularly pronounced when the transducer's vibration amplitude is large or its duration is long. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layer sealed ultrasonic transducer that can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A multilayer sealed ultrasonic transducer includes a transducer housing, an outer shell, and a mounting position, wherein the outer shell is located on the transducer housing, and the mounting position is located at the upper end of the transducer housing;

[0008] An internal disassembly frame is installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell, and a limiting frame is provided on the upper and lower parts of the side wall of the internal disassembly frame. A limiting groove is opened between the limiting frame and the internal disassembly frame. A limiting movable ring is connected in each limiting groove. Multiple return springs are installed at the opening on the internal disassembly frame. The return springs are connected to the limiting movable ring to realize the up and down movement of the limiting movable ring.

[0009] The upper end of the limiting movable ring is connected to a sealing ring through a buffer packing element. The sealing rings are located at both ends of the outer shell to achieve multi-layer sealing. The sealing rings are lifted up by the buffer packing element and the limiting movable ring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the buffer packing component is provided with a first packing chamber, and the outer wall of the buffer packing component is provided with a second packing chamber, so that the buffer packing component can lift the sealing ring through the first packing chamber and the second packing chamber;

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the first and second packing chambers are filled with sealing packing, which is one or a mixture of synthetic fiber packing, expanded graphite packing, polytetrafluoroethylene packing, and rubber packing.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the side wall of the internal disassembly frame is provided with a mating screw hole, and a bolt is inserted into the mating screw hole to fix the internal disassembly frame to the outer shell. The internal disassembly frame is composed of two semi-circular rings. The internal disassembly frame and the limiting frame are designed as an integral part. The cross-section of the limiting frame is "L" shaped, and the upper and lower limiting frames are symmetrically arranged on the internal disassembly frame.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the plurality of openings are distributed on the internal disassembly frame, and each reset spring is installed in the opening. The reset spring is fixed to the limiting movable ring by bolts.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the buffer packing is heat-fused and fixed to the limiting movable ring and the sealing ring. The cross-section of the buffer packing is designed in a "Z" shape, and the sealing ring is bonded and fixed to the outer shell by adhesive.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] By employing a multi-layered sealing structure—with sealing rings at both ends of the outer casing and the synergistic effect of buffer packing and limiting movable rings—the sealing performance is effectively enhanced. This multi-layered sealing method significantly improves the airtightness and watertightness of the ultrasonic transducer, preventing liquid or gas leakage and thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0017] The limiting and lifting mechanism, through the cooperation of a return spring and a limiting movable ring, achieves dynamic lifting and adjustment of the sealing ring. This design not only automatically compensates for changes in the sealing gap caused by factors such as temperature variations and vibration during equipment operation, but also effectively avoids leakage risks caused by sealing ring aging and wear. Simultaneously, the design of the limiting frame and limiting groove ensures the stability and accuracy of the limiting movable ring during movement.

[0018] The equipment's multi-layer sealing mechanism and limiting lifting mechanism both feature a design that facilitates easy disassembly and maintenance. The internal disassembly frame is bolted to the outer casing, allowing users to easily disassemble and replace components such as sealing rings. This design not only improves the equipment's maintainability but also reduces the user's maintenance costs and time. Attached Figure Description
