Description

Ultrasonic liquid inactivation method based on phased array
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of ultrasonic liquid inactivation, in particular to an ultrasonic liquid inactivation method based on a phased array.
Background
Biological laboratories play a great role in the development of medicine, but biological wastewater is generated in the experimental process, and contains a large amount of bacteria and viruses, and if the biological wastewater is discharged through a drainage pipeline without treatment, the surrounding ecological environment can be polluted, and the biological diversity can be seriously damaged, and even the human health can be endangered. Currently, both physical and chemical methods are mainly used to treat these discharged bacterial organisms. Physical sterilization methods have received considerable attention in recent years due to the high cost of production, short shelf life and risk of environmental pollution of the chemical agents used. Wherein, ultrasonic sterilization is to destroy bacteria such as pathogens and putrefying enzymes by utilizing shear force and impact force generated by ultrasonic cavitation; under the action of ultrasound, cavitation bubbles are formed in the liquid medium, and the micro bubbles undergo a series of dynamic processes such as oscillation, growth, shrinkage, collapse and the like, so that instantaneous high temperature and high pressure (high temperature above 5000 ℃ and pressure of 50000 kPa) are generated, so that certain bacteria in the liquid are killed, viruses are inactivated, and cell walls of some microorganisms with smaller volumes are even destroyed (i.e. inactivated). However, the cavitation effect of ultrasound alone is relatively weak and does not completely kill spoilage bacteria or enzymes in liquids, for which researchers have been exploring and improving sonication techniques. In the prior art, a transducer array is generally adopted, and parameters such as input signals, transducer power and the like are changed to optimize the distribution of ultrasonic cavitation areas in a drainage pipeline. However, since the vibration node is fixed in the use process of the transducer array, the amplitude of the cavitation effect at the node is zero, and the problem of insufficient coverage of a certain cavitation effect exists.

According to the ultrasonic liquid inactivation method based on the phased array, the group of probe array elements are arranged on the drainage pipeline corresponding to the target area (the area for liquid inactivation), and then the different groups of delay values are arranged corresponding to different cleaning points in the target area, so that the emission time of each probe array element is changed, the target area can be scanned in a dynamic focusing deflection mode, the full coverage of cavitation effect of the target area is realized, the liquid in the target area can be subjected to full coverage inactivation, and the cleaning efficiency and effect of bacterial microorganisms in the target area are improved.
The technical scheme of the application is as follows:
an ultrasonic liquid inactivation method based on a phased array is characterized in that an area for liquid inactivation in a drainage pipeline is set as a target area, and n probe array elements are arranged on the outer wall of the drainage pipeline corresponding to the target area at intervals to form an ultrasonic phased array; the probe array elements are marked in sequence from No. 1 to No. n; the probe array element is connected with the ultrasonic generator;
the specific process of the ultrasonic liquid inactivation method is as follows: firstly, calculating delay values of different groups corresponding to different cleaning points in a target area so as to change the transmitting time of each probe array element; setting the delay value of the probe array element No. 1 to be 0 in each group, and respectively calculating the delay values of the probe array elements No. 2 to n relative to the probe array element No. 1; then, the ultrasonic generator transmits pulse signals according to a first group of delay values to excite each probe array element to transmit ultrasonic waves, the ultrasonic wave front forms focusing at a first cleaning point in the target area and works for T minutes, and liquid in the target area is inactivated; after T minutes, the ultrasonic generator transmits pulse signals according to a second group of delay values to excite each probe array element to transmit ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic wave front forms focusing at a second cleaning point in the target area and works for T minutes; the ultrasonic wave front is sequentially circulated, so that the ultrasonic wave front is focused at different cleaning points in the target area in sequence, the scanning state is presented, and the full-coverage inactivation of the liquid in the target area is realized.
Compared with the prior art, the ultrasonic liquid inactivation method based on the phased array firstly forms an ultrasonic phased array by arranging a group of probe array elements arranged according to a specific mode on the outer wall of a drainage pipeline corresponding to a target area (an area for liquid inactivation); setting delay values of different groups corresponding to different cleaning points in the target area so as to change the emission time of each probe array element (namely, control the phase difference among each probe array element) and realize controllable sound beam deflection and focusing; finally, the ultrasonic generator emits pulse signals according to the corresponding delay values, and each probe array element is stimulated to emit ultrasonic waves, so that ultrasonic wave fronts form focusing at different cleaning points in the target area in sequence, and the target area can be scanned in a dynamic focusing deflection mode (namely, different deflection focusing points are changed, so that the ultrasonic waves move in the corresponding target area), the ultrasonic cavitation effect coverage is more comprehensive, the full coverage inactivation of liquid in the target area can be realized, and the cleaning efficiency and effect of bacterial microorganisms in the target area are improved.
As optimization, in the phased array-based ultrasonic liquid inactivation method, different cleaning points in the target area are located on the same plane; the delay value tn=Δsn/c of the probe array elements from No. 2 to n relative to the probe array element No. 1, c is the sound velocity of the ultrasonic wave in the water, Δsn is the sound path difference of the probe array element No. n relative to the probe array element No. 1, and according to the formula Δsn=L1-Ln and Ln 2 =(md) 2 +L1 2 +2mdL1sin theta, wherein Ln is the distance from the n probe array elements to the cleaning point, L1 is the distance from the 1 probe array elements to the cleaning point, theta is the deflection angle of the ultrasonic beam central line, d is the central distance between two adjacent probe array elements, and m=n-1; the emission sound pressure of the probe array element is a modulated standard sine wave signal, V n =100×e (j×tn)

The larger the deflection angle is, the wider the coverage range of the ultrasonic cavitation effect is, but the smaller the sound pressure of the focusing point is, the weaker the inactivation effect is; after the limit deflection angle (maximum angle) is set to 65 degrees, the cleaning coverage can be wider on the premise of meeting the cleaning effect on bacterial microorganisms.

Further, the ultrasonic frequency emitted by the piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic transducer can be 20kHz, and the intensity can be 0.3-0.5W/cm 2 . At the moment, the ultrasonic waves emitted by the piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic transducer can effectively inactivate the liquid in the target area, and the cleaning effect on bacterial microorganisms in the liquid is good.
