Piezoelectric ultrasonic generator actually using piezoelectric crystal resonators to work, the ultrasonic generator internal structure shown in Figure 2.1, it has two piezoelectric wafers and a sounding board when it is applied bipolar pulse signal, its frequency is equal to the natural oscillation frequency of the piezoelectric wafer, the wafer will piezoelectric resonance, and resonance driving plate vibration, will produce ultrasound. Conversely, if no voltage is applied between the two electrodes, when the board receives the ultrasonic resonance, the vibration suppression of piezoelectric wafer as the mechanical energy into electrical signals, then it becomes an ultrasonic sensor.
Piezoelectric ceramic wafer has a fixed resonant frequency, i.e., the center frequency f0. When the ultrasonic waves, plus thereon frequency alternating voltage to be consistent with its natural resonant frequency. Thus, ultrasonic sensors have high sensitivity. When the piezoelectric material constant, changing the geometry of the piezoelectric ceramic chip, it can very easily change its natural resonant frequency. With this feature it can be made of various frequencies of ultrasonic sensors.
The internal structure of the ultrasonic sensors from piezoelectric ceramic wafer radiation cone speakers, base, lead, metal shell and metal mesh, wherein the piezoelectric ceramic chip is the core of the sensor, so that the speaker cone radiation transmitting and receiving ultrasonic energy concentration, and there is a certain point angle sensor, a metal shell outside forces to prevent damage to the piezoelectric ceramic chip and radiation cone speakers. Metal mesh also play a protective role, but does not affect the transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves.
