The invention provides a 3D co-vibration spherical vector
hydrophone with an asymmetrical structure which includes an upper half spherical shell, a
lower half spherical shell, an output cable and a core vibrator; the core vibrator consists of three piezoelectric accelerometers which are asymmetrically arranged on a
central mass block; the core vibrator is arranged in a supporting
flange; the supporting
flange is clamped between the upper half spherical shell and the
lower half spherical shell by a bolt and a seal ring. The quantities of the internal piezoelectric accelerometers needed by the
hydrophone of the invention are less, the integral average density is low and the physical dimension is small; besides, the internal piezoelectric accelerometers have better cosine
directivity and phase characteristics. Therefore, the low-
frequency vector hydrophone not only has the advantages of small size, light weight and good
directivity, but also has the advantages of good channel sensitivity and phase characteristics; the hydrophone can solve the design problem of a
sonar array. The 3D co-vibration spherical vector hydrophone with the asymmetrical structure can be broadly applied into each field of
underwater sound like a sonobuoy
system, a
low noise measuring
system, a double-base
sonar system, a torpedoe
navigation system, an
underwater communication system, a responder, and the like, to accomplish a lower frequency measuring task.
