ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18679516 titled 'ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER

The abstract describes an ultrasonic transducer with a unique design involving a case, a piezoelectric element, and a filler. The case has a cylindrical shape with a bottom portion and a side wall portion. The piezoelectric element is attached to the bottom portion, and the filler covers the element and fills a portion of the case near the bottom. A cavity is present in the side wall portion, which is also filled with the filler, consisting of a foamed silicone resin with a closed-cell foam structure.

  • The ultrasonic transducer includes a case with a unique cylindrical shape and a cavity in the side wall portion.
  • A piezoelectric element is attached to the bottom portion of the case.
  • The filler, made of foamed silicone resin, covers the piezoelectric element and fills the cavity in the case.
  • The filler has a closed-cell foam structure, providing sealing properties to the cavity.
  • This design enhances the performance and durability of the ultrasonic transducer.

Original Abstract Submitted

An ultrasonic transducer includes a case, a piezoelectric element, and a filler. The case has a bottomed cylindrical shape including a bottom portion and a side wall portion. The piezoelectric element is attached to the bottom portion of the case. The filler fills at least a portion in the case adjacent to or in a vicinity of the bottom portion and covers the piezoelectric element. A cavity is provided in a portion of the side wall portion adjacent to or in a vicinity of the bottom portion. The filler includes a foamed silicone resin with a closed-cell foam structure. The cavity is sealed with the filler.
