Q1: How does the ultrasonic sensor work?

Ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the detection function of emitting high-frequency sound pulses that are inaudible to the human ear, which are dispersed in the air into a conical shape and reflected back as soon as they hit an object. The ultrasonic sensor calculates the interval by measuring the moment of emitted and returning sound waves, so that the target object and the interval between the target object and the sensor can be detected. Our ultrasonic sensors are equipped with integrated temperature compensation, so that the detection is reliable and accurate.

Q2: What are the applications of ultrasonic sensors?

Ultrasonic sensors are used in a wide range of applications in industrial automation, including level detection, construction machinery, data processing, food and beverage processing, gated elevators, etc., for example, ultrasonic sensors detect whether the liquid level of a fuel tank is close to a critical level, or ensure the reliable movement of aerial work platforms on large construction sites.

Ultrasonic sensors have good applicability, and in some very harsh application environments, other detection skills cannot be used, and ultrasonic sensors can also be used.

Q3: How does the ultrasonic sensor receive information?

The ultrasonic wave emitted by the sensor can be reflected back by the target object, and after the echo is received by the sensor, the sound wave signal is converted into an electrical signal by the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and the time difference between the emitted sound wave and the received echo is detected by the sensor, and then the interval to the target is calculated according to the speed transmitted by the sound wave. At room temperature, the velocity at which sound waves travel through the air is around 344 m/s.

Ultrasonic sensors detect guideliners without touching objects and calculate the distance between them and the sensor. Depending on the sensor model, the detection interval varies from a few centimeters to 10 meters.

Watch the video to see how the sensor measures the distance from an object. In this process, the ultrasonic sensor detects the time interval between the emitted sound wave and the received echo, using the speed of sound to calculate the distance between the object and the object.
