The invention provides an ultrasonic
transducer and a manufacturing method thereof. The ultrasonic
transducer comprises a shell internally provided with a mounting cavity; an acoustic structure is arranged in the mounting cavity, the acoustic structure comprises at least one acoustic matching layer and at least one piezoelectric
array element, the acoustic matching layer is arranged on one side of the piezoelectric
array element in the first direction, the other side of the piezoelectric
array element is connected with a connecting piece, and the other end of the connecting piece penetrates through the shell to be connected with an ultrasonic
diagnostic instrument; the mounting cavity is filled with a sound absorption backing, and the sound absorption backing is arranged around the connecting piece; a transverse
absorption layer is arranged around the acoustic structure and is used for absorbing transverse ultrasonic
waves emitted by the piezoelectric array elements; the transverse
absorption layer absorbs most of transverse ultrasonic
waves, so that transverse reflection
waves are greatly attenuated, interference of the transverse reflection waves on object reflection waves is greatly reduced, the object reflection waves are converted into electric signals, the electric signals are transmitted to an ultrasonic
detector through the connecting piece for
signal analysis and
processing, and the internal conditions of detected objects are presented more accurately. The detection effect is improved.
