PEOPLE CAN HEAR THE SOUND DUE TO THE OSCILLATION OF THE OBJECT, ITS FREQUENCY IS IN THE RANGE OF 20HZ-20KHZ, BEYOND 20KHZ IS CALLED ULTRASOUND, BELOW 20HZ IS CALLED INFRASOUND. THE COMMONLY USED ULTRASONIC FREQUENCY IS TENS OF KHZ-TENS OF MHZ.
Ultrasonic waves are a type of mechanical oscillation in an elastic medium that oscillates in two ways: transverse (transverse waves) and longitudinal oscillations (longitudinal waves). Longitudinal oscillation is the primary choice for industrial use. Ultrasonic waves can be transmitted in gases, liquids and solids at different speeds. In addition, it also has refractive and reflective phenomena and attenuation in the transmission process. THE FREQUENCY OF ULTRASONIC WAVES TRANSMITTED IN THE AIR IS LOW, GENERALLY TENS OF KHZ, WHILE THE FREQUENCY CAN BE USED HIGHER IN SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS. It decays faster in air, while it is conveyed in liquids and solids, with less attenuation and farther transmission. Using the characteristics of ultrasound, it can be made into a variety of ultrasonic sensors, equipped with different circuits, made into a variety of ultrasonic measuring instruments and devices, and is widely used in communications, medical appliances and other aspects.
There are two main types of ultrasonic sensors: piezoelectric crystals (electroelastic) and nickel-iron-aluminum alloys (magnetoelastic). Electroelastic materials include lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and so on. The ultrasonic sensor composed of piezoelectric crystals is a reversible sensor, which can convert electrical energy into mechanical oscillation and generate ultrasonic waves, and at the same time, when it receives ultrasonic waves, it can also be converted into electrical energy, so it can distribute dividends to transmitters or acceptors. Some ultrasonic sensors can be used for both transmission and reception. HERE WE WILL ONLY INTRODUCE SMALL ULTRASONIC SENSORS, WHICH ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING, AND THEY ARE SUITABLE FOR TRANSMISSION IN THE AIR, AND THE OPERATING FREQUENCY IS GENERALLY 23-25KHZ AND 40-45KHZ. This type of sensor is suitable for distance measurement, remote control, anti-theft and other purposes. This species has T/R-40-16, T/R-40-12, etc. (among which T indicates transmission, R indicates acceptance, 40 indicates frequency of 40KHZ, and 16 and 12 indicate its outer diameter scale, measured in millimeters). There is also a hermetically sealed ultrasonic sensor (MA40EI type). It is characterized by waterproof effect (but can not be put into water), can be used as a material level and close to the switch, its function is better. There are three basic types of ultrasonic use, the transmissive type is used for remote controls, burglar alarms, automatic doors, proximity switches, etc.; Split reflective type for distance measurement, level or level; The reflective type is used for data flaw detection, thickness measurement, etc.
It is composed of a transmitting sensor (or wave transmitter), an receiving sensor (or wave receiver), a control part and a power supply part. The transmitter sensor is composed of a transmitter and a ceramic oscillator transducer with a diameter of about 15mm, and the transducer is used to convert the electrical oscillation energy of the ceramic oscillator into super energy and radiate it to the air; The receiver sensor is composed of a ceramic oscillator transducer and an amplification circuit, and the receiver wave of the transducer undergoes mechanical oscillation, converts it into electrical energy, and acts as the output of the sensor receiver, so as to detect the ultrasonic signal sent. In practice, the ceramic oscillator used as a transmitting sensor can also be used as a ceramic oscillator for the receiver sensor company. The control part mainly controls the pulse chain frequency, duty cycle, scarcity modulation and counting and exploration interval emitted by the transmitter.
