ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER, DISTANCE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18283467 titled 'ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER, DISTANCE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER
Simplified Explanation
The ultrasonic transducer described in the patent application includes a diaphragm and a housing, with the diaphragm capable of being vibrated and the housing connected to the diaphragm. The diaphragm has an opening, while the housing has an internal space that communicates with the opening. Together, the diaphragm and housing form an acoustic resonance structure that amplifies ultrasound generated by the vibration of the diaphragm, with both components being integrally formed.
- Diaphragm can be vibrated
- Housing connected to diaphragm
- Diaphragm has an opening
- Housing has internal space communicating with opening
- Diaphragm and housing form acoustic resonance structure
- Amplifies ultrasound generated by diaphragm vibration
- Components are integrally formed
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in medical imaging devices, industrial cleaning equipment, and underwater communication systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently generating and amplifying ultrasound for various applications.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved ultrasound amplification, compact design, and increased efficiency in ultrasound-based systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially applied in the medical imaging industry, manufacturing sector, and marine exploration field.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art is the use of separate diaphragms and housings in ultrasonic transducers, which may not provide the same level of amplification and efficiency as the integrally formed components described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the integrally formed structure impact the overall performance of the ultrasonic transducer?
The integrally formed structure likely improves the efficiency and reliability of the transducer by reducing potential points of failure and optimizing the acoustic resonance properties.
Are there any limitations to the size or power output of the ultrasonic transducer using this design?
The size and power output of the transducer may be limited by the materials used in the construction of the diaphragm and housing, as well as the specific design of the acoustic resonance structure. Further testing and research would be needed to determine any potential limitations.
Original Abstract Submitted
An ultrasonic transducer includes a diaphragm and a housing. The diaphragm can be vibrated. The housing is connected to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is provided with an opening. The housing is provided with an internal space. The internal space communicates with the opening. The diaphragm and the housing constitute an acoustic resonance structure to amplify with the opening and the internal space, ultrasound generated by vibration of the diaphragm, and they are integrally formed.
