Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described.Obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
" friction electrode sequence " described in the present invention, refer to the sequence carried out according to the attraction degree of material to electric charge, the moment that bi-material is contacting with each other, negative electrical charge is transferred to from the material surface of friction electrode sequence Semi-polarity calibration the material surface that friction electrode sequence Semi-polarity comparatively bears on the contact surface.Up to now, also do not have the mechanism of the explanation Charger transfer that a kind of unified theory can be complete, it is generally acknowledged, this Charger transfer is relevant with the surface work function of material, realizes Charger transfer by the transfer on the contact surface of electronics or ion.It should be noted that, friction electrode sequence is a kind of statistics based on experience, namely bi-material differs far away in the sequence, the probability that the positive negativity that after contact, institute produces electric charge and this sequence are consistent is larger, and the result of reality is subject to the impact of many factors, such as material surface roughness, ambient humidity and whether have Relative friction etc.Needing to further illustrate is that the transfer of electric charge does not need the Relative friction between bi-material, contacts with each other as long as exist.
" contact electric charge " described in the present invention, refer to the material that there are differences two kinds of friction electrode sequence polarity contact and is separated afterwards its surperficial with electric charge, it is generally acknowledged, this electric charge is only distributed in the surface of material, and distribution depth capacity is only about 10 nanometers.It should be noted that, the symbol of contact electric charge is the symbol of net charge, namely may there is the aggregation zone of negative electrical charge in the some areas with the material surface just contacting electric charge, but the symbol of whole net surface charge is just.
Fig. 1 is the typical acoustic wave transducer structural representation of one provided by the invention.Acoustic wave transducer shown in this embodiment comprises the acoustic-electric conversion equipment of shell 108, elastic film layer 106, insulated substrate 105 and inside, wherein acoustic-electric conversion equipment comprises the first electrode layer 101, the first film layer 102, and the second thin layer 103 of placing of the first film layer 102 interval and the second electrode lay 104 from top to bottom successively, first electrode layer 101 is connected with voltmeter 110 by wire 109 with the second electrode lay 104, and the edge of elastic film layer 106 and the edge of insulated substrate 105 are all fixed on the inwall of shell 108; Elastic film layer 106 is under the effect of sound wave, can vibrate, thus drive is attached to the first electrode layer 101 of its lower surface and moving back and forth up and down of the first film layer 102 generating period, make being contacting and separating of the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 generating period, produce the signal of telecommunication and export.
The first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 are made up of the material with differentiated friction electrical characteristics respectively, described differentiated friction electrical characteristics mean that the two is in different positions in friction electrode sequence, thus make can produce contact electric charge on surface the two moment in contact.Conventional high molecular polymer all has triboelectric characteristics, all can as the material preparing the first film layer 102 of the present invention and the second thin layer 103, enumerate the macromolecule polymer material that some are conventional herein, and arrange according to the order obtaining electronic capability enhancing: polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyester, polyisobutene, elastic polyurethane sponge, PETG, polyvinyl butyral resin, polychlorobutadiene, natural rubber, polyacrylonitrile, poly-biphenol carbonic ester, CPPG, polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyimides, polyvinyl chloride, dimethyl silicone polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene.Reason as space is limited; can not carry out exhaustive to all possible material; only list several concrete polymeric material herein from people's reference; but obviously these concrete materials can not become the restrictive factor of scope; because under the enlightenment of invention, those skilled in the art is easy to the material selecting other similar according to the triboelectric characteristics that these materials have.
Metal has the triboelectric characteristics easily losing electronics, in the list of friction electrode sequence, be often positioned at end place.Therefore, metal also can as the raw material preparing the first film layer 102 or the second thin layer 103.Conventional metal comprises aluminium, gold, copper, silver, palladium, platinum etc.Certainly, other materials with conductive characteristic can also be used to serve as the thin layer easily losing electronics, such as indium tin oxide ITO.When thin layer is by preparation of metals, itself just has conductive capability, and the electrode layer therefore contacted with it can omit, with simplified structure.If certainly need electrode layer to use different materials, the structure so adopting thin film layer as shown in Figure 1 to add one deck electrode layer is also completely passable.
Found through experiments, when the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 material electronic capability difference larger (namely far away in the difference of the position in electrode sequence that rubs) time, the signal of telecommunication of acoustic wave transducer output is stronger.So, can according to actual needs, select suitable material to prepare the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103, to obtain better output effect.
The thickness of the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 gets over Bao Yuehao in machinable scope, can within the scope of 100nm-1mm, preferably 1 μm-800 μm, more preferably 10 μm-600 μm.Length and width can be selected according to actual needs, do not have a significant effect to the performance of acoustic wave transducer.
If the Material selec-tion high molecular polymer of thin layer, by method preparations such as spin coatings, if select metal material, can be prepared by the method for magnetron sputtering.
As long as the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104 possess the characteristic that can conduct electricity, metallic film or indium and tin oxide film can be selected from, more preferably metallic film, such as aluminium film, golden film, copper film; Electrode layer should with corresponding thin layer close contact, and to ensure the efficiency of transmission of electric charge, good mode electric conducting material is passed through the surface filming of mode at respective films layer of deposition; Concrete deposition process can be magnetron sputtering or evaporation.In order to ensure the sensitivity of acoustic wave transducer, the thickness of the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104 gets over Bao Yuehao, is generally 10nm-1 μm, is preferably 20nm-800nm, is more preferably 50nm-500nm, especially 80nm-200nm.
There is no the precedent utilizing the triboelectric characteristics of material to make acoustic wave transducer at present, reason is the elasticity of the material generally with triboelectric characteristics is not fine, cannot restore to the original state after there is deformation under the effect of external force.In order to ensure that the first film layer 102 can to come in contact with the second thin layer 103 and to be separated under the effect of external periodic force, and maintain suitable spacing between, general way installs rigid substrate additional respectively on the first electrode layer 101 with below the second electrode lay 104, electrode layer and thin layer are supported, multiple elastic space holder is set between two substrates simultaneously, such as spring, effect like this by spring can make the first film layer and the second thin layer contact with each other when there being external force to apply, and can be separated after external force is cancelled and keep suitable spacing.But this structure needs the effective output being ensured the signal of telecommunication by multiple spring, complex structure, the vibration of the induction sound wave that the rigid substrate of use can not be sensitive, therefore effectively cannot be converted into the signal of telecommunication by sound wave at all.
In order to break through this restriction, present inventor has performed a large amount of experiments, final discovery can effectively be addressed this problem by the use of elastic film layer 106.Elastic film layer 106 is by elastomeric material, particularly elastic material is formed, there is very high elasticity, deformation can be there is and can resilience rapidly under the effect of external force, thus drive moving back and forth up and down of the first electrode layer 101 attached to it and the first film layer 102 generating period, the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 are formed periodically be contacting and separating, produce the corresponding signal of telecommunication and export; And the structure of film makes it can both respond small vibration, thus there is the sensitivity of height.Acoustic wave transducer of the present invention solves the restriction that triboelectricity device cannot be used for acoustic sounding, greatly extends the range of application of triboelectricity device, and smart structural design, is easy to preparation, is beneficial to very much large-scale production.
Elastic film layer 106 can be made with the insulating material that elasticity is higher, comprise rubber and polyurethanes elastic material, such as: natural rubber, butadiene-styrene rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, polyurethane fiber and/or polyurethane elastomer, by the film technique of routine, such as technology for compressing and forming, be prepared into the film of thickness about 10 μm-800 μm, preferred thickness is 40 μm-500 μm, more preferably 80 μm-200 μm.
Elastic film layer 106 can be connected with outer casing inner wall 108 by conventional mode, such as, on inwall 108, arrange securing member, or is connected by the mode of bonding.Certainly, those skilled in the art can predict, if this acoustic wave transducer is combined with other devices, without the need to stand-alone shell, so elastic film layer 106 can be connected and fixed be combined device by conventional mode completely, and therefore shell 108 is not the necessary parts of acoustic wave transducer of the present invention.
The effect of insulated substrate 105 is fixed the second electrode lay 104 and supports, and therefore do not have particular/special requirement to material, as long as insulation easily shaping and install.Do not require that insulated substrate 105 must be rigid, but because acoustic vibration can drive the first film layer 102 to the second thin layer 103 near and contact, in order to keep the stable output of the signal of telecommunication, insulated substrate 105 preferably can support the second electrode lay 104 and the second thin layer 103, make the first film layer 102 to the second thin layer 103 near with in the process contacted, the second thin layer 103 can keep stablizing motionless.
To the shape of insulated substrate 105, thickness and and the way of contact of the second electrode lay 104 be all not particularly limited, as long as the above-mentioned requirement of the present invention can be met.And the fixed form of insulated substrate 105 also can adopt the mode of this area routine, such as, in chlamydate situation, be fixed on outer casing inner wall by support, securing member etc.When being combined with other devices, be fixed in be combined device according to actual requirement.
In the present embodiment, the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104 are wired on voltmeter 110, the voltage signal produced during to be determined at acoustical vibration, but people can select suitable detection means according to actual needs in actual applications, are not limited to use voltmeter.
Composition graphs 2 is set forth acoustic wave transducer operation principle of the present invention.In Fig. 2, the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 are 2 kinds of materials that there is friction electrode sequence difference, under the initial condition not having external force, due to the existence of elastic film layer 106, between the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103, there is certain interval (see step A in Fig. 2).When there being External Force Acting, the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 contact with each other, so there is surface charge transfer in the moment of contact, form layer of surface contact electric charge (see step B in Fig. 2).Because the first film layer 102 is different with the position of material in friction electrode sequence of the second thin layer 103, second thin layer 103 surface produces negative electrical charge, and the first film layer 102 surface produces positive charge, the electricity size of two kinds of electric charges is identical, therefore between the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104, do not have electrical potential difference, just there is no flow of charge yet.When external force is withdrawn gradually, under the effect of elastic film layer 106, the first film layer 102 starts to be separated with the second thin layer 103, the entirety be now made up of the first electrode layer 101 and the first film layer 102 has clean surplus positive charge, and the entirety that the second electrode lay 104 and the second thin layer 103 are formed has clean surplus negative electrical charge, therefore between the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104, create electrical potential difference.For balancing this electrical potential difference, electronics flows into the first electrode layer 101 by external wire by the second electrode lay 104, thus produce by the transient current (see Fig. 2 in step C) of the first electrode layer to the second electrode lay at external circuit, when the first film layer 102 gets back to initial position, spacing between it and the second thin layer 103 reaches maximum, the electric charge of the two all reaches balance, between the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104, there is no electrical potential difference, just do not have electric current to produce (in see Fig. 2 D step) at external circuit yet.When periodic external force applies once again, due to the pitch smaller of the first electrode layer 101 and the second thin layer 103, the negative electrical charge on the second thin layer 103 surface strengthens the repulsive interaction of negative electrical charge in the first electrode layer 101, the positive charge on the first film layer 102 surface also strengthens the sucking action of negative electrical charge in the second electrode lay 104 simultaneously, causes the electrical potential difference between the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 104 to reduce thus.For balancing this electrical potential difference further, electronics flows into the second electrode lay 104 by external circuit by the first electrode layer 101, thus produces the transient current (see Fig. 2 in step e) contrary with first time direction at external circuit.After external force continuation applying makes the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103 come in contact, just repeat again the situation of B-E step above.As can be seen here, when sound wave effect is in elastic film layer 106, elastic film layer 106 can be impelled to drive the first film layer 102 that reciprocal mechanical oscillation occur, and being constantly contacting and separating by the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103, form the signal of telecommunication and constantly export.And sound intensity of wave and frequency can affect intensity and frequency that the first film layer 102 vibrates, and the Vibration Condition of the first film layer 102 directly affects the contact condition of itself and the second thin layer 103, and then affects the output of the signal of telecommunication.Therefore, acoustic wave transducer of the present invention can not only convert sound wave to the signal of telecommunication, and the signal of telecommunication that can also be different with rate-adaptive pacemaker according to sound intensity of wave, has possessed the function of microphone.
Fig. 3 is a kind of typical acoustic wave transducer with surface nano-structure of the present invention.The primary structure of the present embodiment is identical with the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, is only described the difference of the two herein.Embodiment shown in Fig. 3 have employed the first film layer 102 that surface has nanostructure 107, and described nanostructure can be nano particle, nano wire, nanometer rods, nano flower and the nano-array that is made up of nano wire and/or nanometer rods.This nanostructure 107 makes the surface of the first film layer 102 more coarse on microcosmic, when this thin layer is when coming in contact with the second thin layer 103, can form more obvious friction effect, and produce and more contact electric charge, the signal of telecommunication of output is stronger.
Described nanostructure 107 can select the conventional method in this area to be prepared, such as: template transfer method: liquid material is poured into the template that has micro/nano structure, then material is dried post-tensioning from template, namely can obtain the friction electric material that surface has micro/nano structure.
Those skilled in the art can expect, also similar effect can be produced in the surface structure nanostructure of the second thin layer 103, construct nanostructure on the surface of the first film layer 102 and the second thin layer 103, the performance of acoustic-electric conversion can be better even simultaneously simultaneously.Therefore, these situations also belong within protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 4 is the typical acoustic wave transducer of another kind of designs simplification of the present invention, and the primary structure of the present embodiment is identical with the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, is only described the difference of the two herein.The second electrode lay and the second thin layer unite two into one by the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, and the second thin layer 103 prepared with conductive material replaces.This design make use of the conductivity of metallic film cleverly and in friction, easily loses the characteristic of electronics, effectively simplifies the structure, is more conducive to industrialized production and application.
Second thin layer 103 can be prepared by the method for sputtering or chemical deposition.
Fig. 5 is a kind of typical acoustic wave transducer adopting elastic yarn of the present invention, and the primary structure of the present embodiment is identical with the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, is only described the difference of the two herein.Embodiment shown in Fig. 5 uses elastic yarn 111 to replace elastic film layer 106 to be fixed on outer casing inner wall 108 by first electrode layer 101.Fig. 6 is the vertical view of the present embodiment, can find out that employing 3 elastic yarns in the present embodiment fixes.Certain those skilled in the art can increase or reduce quantity and its distribution mode of elastic yarn 111 according to actual needs; these change be all on basis of the present invention by the experiment of logical reasoning and limited number of time and confirmable, be therefore all within protection scope of the present invention.
Elastic yarn can select better, the durable material of elasticity to prepare, and such as polyurethane fiber can obtain required filament by the mode of spinning.
