Technical field
The present invention relates to electronic product, particularly low energy consumption or self-energizing article, those electronic products that use for the individual for example, as: mobile phone, personal organizer and pocket radio set.
Background technology
International Patent Application WO 00/69212 provides a kind of personal portable electronic product with main body or housing, on main body or housing or bending wave loudspeaker of interior installation.Bending wave loudspeaker comprises that an acoustic radiator and is installed on the radiator so that the radiator vibration produces the vibration exciter of voice output.Whole integratedly formation as one sprayed casting mold and limits main body or a sub regions of housing for described radiator and main body or housing.To such an extent as to the personal portable electronic product just means that this article are enough little and can hand.
Radiator can be a distribution pattern sound radiation loudspeaker, for example the sort of described in the International Application No. WO 97/09842.
Usually, the personal portable electronic product is the device or the self-energizing device of low energy consumption.
Summary of the invention
According to the present invention, one electronic product has a main body or housing, on main body or housing or bending wave loudspeaker of interior installation, described loudspeaker comprises a flexural wave acoustic radiator and an electromechanical power transducer, described transducer is installed on the radiator so that the radiator vibration produces voice output, it is characterized in that transducer has an expection operating frequency range, and comprise that one has a mode frequency resonant element that distributes and the coupling arrangement that is used for transducer is installed to radiator in the expection operating frequency range.Coupling arrangement can be installed on the resonant element.
Electronic product can be the long-range article that energy is provided, and for example has light or has the article of infrared ray power supply.Electronic product can be selected from wireless battery plate, individual PA or solar panel like this.Electronic product can be the low energy consumption article, for example there is not rope device, as: pocket radio set, walkman, personal digital assistant (PDA), electronic toy, hummer, multifrequency or single frequency tone Chinese percussion instrument, clock, electronics new product, notebook computer, computer mouse, keyboard, display, personal computer, monitor or television.Electronic product can also be the article of disposable (disposable), for example disposable loudspeaker or hummer, low-cost communicator, credit card, new product, book or card.
Acoustic radiator can be with main body or housing integral installation or molded.Radiator can be transparent, for example can be the zone that limits a display screen.
Acoustic radiator can be a touch pad.Acoustic radiator can be around the whole housing of touch pad or a part of housing.Coupling arrangement can comprise a touch pad, for example uses a frame around the touch pad periphery to be connected with shell sound.Transducer promptly can directly be installed on the touch pad, also can be installed on the frame and by the transducer drive shell.Touch pad can or separate locking element by whole locker, and for example screw, bolt or bayonet fixing are connected on the housing.Replacedly, touch pad can be installed on the shell with the friction mode.
Like this, the black box that comprises touch pad and transducer can be used to drive acoustic radiator.Because shell is as elementary acoustic radiator, touch pad and can be used as acoustic radiator around the shell of touch pad.If wish, at least one additional transducer can be installed on the described elementary acoustic radiator.In any electronics, for example notebook computer or personal digital assistant, described touch pad component can be replaced a standard touch pad.
Wipe the element that shakes and to be initiatively, for example can be piezoelectric transducer and can be the strip piezoelectric.Replacedly, resonant element can be passive, and transducer may further include an active transducer, for example inertia or ground vibration transducer (grounded vibration transducer), actuator or driver, for example moving coil transducer.Active transducer can be transducer crooked or that reverse (as the type described at WO00/13464).In addition, transducer can comprise initiatively and the combination of passive device, to form a mixing transducer.
Developed manyly, applied transducer, driver or the actuator structure of power as the structure of loudspeaker to acoustic radiator.These transducer architectures have many different forms, for example moving coil, moving magnet, piezoelectricity or magnetostriction type.Typically, generate heat with 99% of their intakes of the electrodynamics loudspeaker of coil and magnet type transducer loss, yet piezoelectric transducer only loses 1% energy.Like this, because the high-level efficiency of piezoelectric transducer, piezoelectric transducer is popular.
Several like this problems are arranged for piezoelectric transducer, and for example, if compare with filtter gold, they are stone inherently, and they are quite difficult with the acoustic radiator coupling like this, particularly with air.The rigidity that improves transducer can make basic mode of resonance reach higher frequency.Piezoelectric transducer has been considered to two working ranges like this.First working range is the basic resonance that is lower than transducer.This is " controlled rigidity " scope, and speed can increase along with frequency in this scope, and the output response need be carried out equilibrium usually.This just causes the loss of availability of efficient.Second scope is the resonance range outside range in stiffness, because resonance is quite violent, so this scope will be avoided usually.
Also have, general guidance is the resonance that suppresses in the transducer, and piezoelectric transducer only uses usually in the frequency range of being less than or equal to transducer basis resonance like this.When piezoelectric transducer is used to be higher than basic resonance frequency,, be necessary to apply damping for suppressing resonance peak.
These problems relevant with piezoelectric transducer similarly are applicable to the transducer that those comprise other " shrewdness " materials, " shrewdness " material promptly: magnetostriction, electrostriction and electret bulk material.Known have a multiple different piezoelectric transducer, and for example the publication number of Shinsei Corporation company is that the publication number of EP0993231A, Shinsei Corporation company is that the publication number of EP0881856A, MurataManufacturing company limited is that the publication number of US4593160, Sanyo Electric company limited is that the publication number of US4401857, Altec Corporation company is that the publication number of US4481663 and Sawafuji is the transducer described in the UK Patent Application of GB166022A.Yet, an object of the present invention is the transducer of application enhancements.
Be used for transducer of the present invention and can think the transducer of an Anticipation Mode.Coupling arrangement is connected on the resonant element in the position that helps the mode effect of resonant element is coupled on the interface.Can select the parameter of these resonant elements, for example aspect ratio, bending stiffness, thickness and geometric figure are to strengthen the mode profile at operating frequency range interior resonance element.The bending stiffness of resonant element and thickness can selectedly be isotropy or anisotropy.For strengthening the mode profile in the resonant element, can select the bending stiffness and/or the thickness that change.More available analytical approachs are selected parameter, and these analytical approachs are for example used finite element FEA or modeled computer simulation.
Strengthen this distribution by first pattern of guaranteeing active member near the lowest operating frequency that needs.Also can be gratifying by in operating frequency range, guaranteeing one, strengthen this distribution as high pattern density.Pattern density preferably enough provides with frequency concerning active member and is essentially an average power.Good NE BY ENERGY TRANSFER can provide the smoothing of useful mode resonance.Selectively, perhaps in addition, can pass through distributed resonance flexural wave pattern, the basic evenly enhancement mode on frequency distributes, promptly to response by " pack (bunching) " of pattern or the crest of the frequency that causes of clustering carry out smoothing.Therefore this transducer is known as distribution pattern transducer or DMT.
This Anticipation Mode or distribution pattern transducer are described in International Patent Application WO 01/54450.
Transducer can comprise a plurality of resonant elements, and each resonant element has a mode profile, and resonant element is crisscross arranged in operating frequency range, strengthens the mode profile as the transducer of a whole device.Resonant element can have different base frequencies, and these parameters of weight, geometric jacquard patterning unit surface or bending stiffness such as resonant element also can be different like this.
Resonant element can be by coupling arrangement in any mode easily, as connecting between two elements with hard short column (stub) usually.Resonant element is preferably in those mode that strengthen transducer and/or strengthens those Coupling point places that are coupled in the position that applies power and is coupled.The parameter that can select coupling arrangement is to strengthen the model profile in the resonant element.Resonant element can be positioned to one and fold.Tie point can be to axially align.
Resonant element can be a plate-like, or crooked on-plane surface.The plate-like resonant element can be made and have a plurality of slits or discontinuous, to form a multi resonant vibrating system.Resonant element can be the beam shape, trapezoidal, oval-shaped or plate-like roughly.Can be selectively, resonant element can be rectangular and can form around the bending along an axle of rectangle plane symmetry minor axis.
Resonant element can be the mode along two rectangular substantially axles, and each has a relevant base frequency.Be best modal distribution, the ratio of two base frequencies can be adjusted, for example 9: 7 (~1.286: 1).
For example, being provided with of this mode transducer can be in following any: flat piezoceramic disk, at least two or preferably combination, two similar piezoelectric beams, the combination of a plurality of similar piezoelectric beam, the combination of crooked piezoceramic disk, a plurality of crooked piezoceramic disk or two similar crooked piezoelectric beams of at least three flat piezoceramic disks.
By optimizing the frequency ratio of resonant element, i.e. the basic resonance frequency ratio of each of each resonant element, the staggered of the mode profile on each resonant element is enhanced.Like this, the parameter of each resonant element can be changed with respect to another, to strengthen all modal distribution of transducer.
When with the active resonant element of two beam shape forms, these two beams can have a frequency ratio of 1.27: 1 (be base frequency than).For the transducer that comprises three beams, frequency ratio can be 1.315: 1.147: 1.For the transducer that comprises two dishes, for optimizing high-order model density, frequency ratio can be 1.1+/-0.02 to 1, and perhaps, for optimizing lower-order model density, frequency ratio can be 3.2: 1.For the transducer that comprises three dishes, frequency ratio can be 3.03: 1.63: 1, or 8.19: 3.20: 1.
Can select the parameter of coupling arrangement, to strengthen the mode profile in operating frequency range interior resonance element.Coupling arrangement can be residual, for example the controllable layer of glue.
Coupling arrangement can be located with respect to panel asymmetricly, is connected with transducer asymmetricly.It is this asymmetric to have several modes to obtain, for example by regulating position and the direction of transducer with respect to the axis of symmetry of panel or transducer.
Coupling arrangement can form the line of a strip connector.Selectively, coupling arrangement can form the little regional area of a point or connector, and in this zone, the connector zone is very little with respect to the size of resonant element.Coupling arrangement can be the form of short column and little diameter is arranged that for example 3 to 4mm.Coupling arrangement can be the little material of quality.
Coupling arrangement can comprise the tie point more than, and can comprise the combination of connector point and/or the combination of connector line.For example, can use two points or two little regional areas of connector, one is positioned near the center, and another is positioned at the edge of active member.This mode is useful to the plate-like transducer that in general those have rigidity and high natural resonance frequency.
Replacedly, also a tie point can only be set.Under multi resonant shook the situation of element arrays, this can have such benefit, that is: lump together by the output of a Connection Element with all resonant elements, can no longer by load they be lumped together concerning output like this.Can select coupling arrangement to be positioned at the antinode of a resonant element, also can select to impose a constant mean force with frequency.Coupling arrangement can be positioned at the position away from the resonant element center.
Can select the position and/or the direction of connector line, to optimize the model density of resonant element.Preferably, the connector line does not overlap with the line of symmetry of resonant element.For example, for the rectangle resonant element, the short axis of symmetry (or center line) that the connector line can the off-resonance element.The direction of connector line can be parallel to the axis of symmetry of panel.
Shape that can the selective resonance element, so that the line of eccentricity of a connector to be provided, this line of eccentricity is the mass centre of resonant element normally.The benefit of this embodiment is that transducer is connected at mass centre's point, does not so just have intrinsic imbalance.This can obtain by the resonant element of a symmetric shape, and the resonant element of this symmetric shape can be trapezoidal or irregular quadrilateral.
For the transducer that comprises a beam shape or common rectangle resonant element, the connector line can extend on the whole width of resonant element.The area of resonant element is little with respect to the area of acoustic radiator.
Acoustic radiator can be the panel shape.Panel can be flat with lightweight.The material of acoustic radiator can be an anisotropy or isotropic.
Acoustic radiator can have one as said the sort of resonance flexural wave mode profile among the WO97/09842, and can select the acoustic radiator characteristic with basic evenly distributed resonance flexural wave pattern on frequency, that is: smoothly the resonance frequency place by " pack " of pattern or the crest that clusters and cause.
Especially, can select the acoustic radiator characteristic with basic evenly distribution lower frequency resonance flexural wave pattern on frequency.Lower frequency resonance flexural wave pattern is 10 to 20 minimum frequency resonance flexural wave patterns of acoustic radiator preferably.
Lower frequency resonance flexural wave pattern particularly is coupled to be coupled to resonance flexural wave pattern substantially equably in acoustic radiator in the position that can select transducer.In other words, transducer can be installed in the initiatively high relatively place of resonance antinode number of acoustic radiator internal vibration, is the resonant section low relatively place of counting out on the contrary.Any this position can be used, but the position of most convenient is to be positioned at along near the position center of the length of acoustic radiator and wide 38% to 62%, except the center.Special or preferred positions be along wheelbase from 3/7,4/9 or 5/13 position; Ratio to length axle and width axes carries out preferred different.Preferably aspect ratio is 4/9 a length of the isotropy panel of 1: 1.13 or 1: 1.41,3/7 width place.
Operating frequency range can be to spread all over a wide relatively frequency range, can be audiorange and/or ultrasonic range.Because the usefulness of distribution pattern transducer can also be applied in sonar and sound ranging and the imaging, and these all have been to use the bandwidth of broad and/or the situation of energy that may be higher.Therefore, operate spreading all over a scope, promptly, can obtain the natural resonance of transducer greater than by accounting for dominant frequency institute restricted portion separately.
Low-limit frequency preferably is higher than a predetermined low frequency that limits in the operating frequency range, and this limits the basic resonance that frequency is approximately transducer.
For example, for beam shape resonant element initiatively, this power can obtain from the center of beam, and and the pattern form of the acoustic radiator accompanying with it be complementary.Like this, action and reaction can be cooperated to provide a constant frequency output.Because the antinode at resonant element is connected to acoustic radiator with resonant element, low impedance can appear in first resonance of resonant element.Like this, acoustic radiator does not amplify the resonance of resonant element.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a touch pad component that is used for electronic product is provided, for example notebook computer or PDA, this assembly comprises a touch pad, be used for touch pad is mechanically connected to coupling arrangement on the electronic product casing, and transducer, this transducer be installed on the coupling arrangement or on the touch pad to drive housing as acoustic radiator.
Coupling arrangement can be the form around the frame of touch pad periphery.Transducer can be installed on the touch pad or on the described frame.Touch pad can or separate locking element (for example screw, bolt or bayonet fixing) by whole locker and be connected on the housing.Replacedly, touch pad can be installed on the shell with the friction mode.

Figure 15 A and 15B show the PDA that is similar among Figure 11 A and the 11B, and total element is represented with identical Reference numeral.Here the different of said PDA and front are that it comprises a lid 215, and this lid can be protected touch-screen 214, and the operation of touch-screen being write or drawing at the open position of touch-screen, i.e. normal use.Twin beams transducer 108 attaches to by short column 66 and covers on 215, can make like this to cover 215 as loudspeaker.Short column 66 can integral body casts onto and covers on 215.Transducer 108 comprises that two have the beam 110,112 that different length links together with a short column 66.Utilizing electric wire to be electrically connected with the interior driving circuit of the main body 218 of PDA (not shown) is connected.
Remaining illustrates interchangeable transducer, these transducers can with the use of cooperating at the embedding loudspeaker shown in Fig. 1 to 15b.The transducer of expectation mode is compared and can reduced qualitatively with on the degree of depth with moving coil/permanent magnet design.So, use the general assembly (TW) that such transducer can reduce loudspeaker, transducer should be suitable for installing in limited space.Like this, transducer just can be suitable for those portable application shown in Fig. 1 to 15B ideally.
Figure 16 shows transducer 42, and this transducer comprises first piezoelectric beam 43, by the short column 48 that is positioned at two beam centers second piezoelectric beam 51 is installed at the back side of first piezoelectric beam.Each beam all is a bimorph.First piezoelectric beam 43 comprises that two layers of piezoelectric material layer 44,46, second piezoelectric beam 51 comprises two-layer 50,52.The utmost point of each of piezoelectric layer is to representing with arrow 49.Each of bimorph layers 44,45 and layer 46,52 in addition have the opposite utmost point to.Bimorph can also comprise a center conductor blade, and this blade allows parallel electrical connection to add a reinforcing element as piezoelectric ceramics layer in the same way.Each layer of each beam 44,46 can be made by identical/different piezoelectric.Each layer has different length usually.
The coupling arrangement of the short column 56 of first piezoelectric beam 43 by being positioned at the first beam center is installed on the panel 54.By install first beam therein the heart have only even level pattern (even order mode) could produce output.By second beam being positioned at the first beam back, and two beams are linked together at the center by short column, they can be considered to drive identical axially aligning or identical position.
When element links together, the result of mode profile be not each component from the addition of frequency series because each element changes the pattern of other elements.Two beams are designed so that their modal distribution separately interlocks, and can strengthen the global mode of transducer like this.In the whole frequency range that relates to, two beams add together can produce useful output.Because the interaction between even level mode piezoelectric beam separately, produce local narrow recessed.
Can recently select second beam with the basic resonance of two beams.If material is identical with thickness, so frequency ratio only be the length ratio square.If when being placed on half position in the middle of f0 and the other f1 simply, also be consistent than the f3 of girder and the f4 of low beam than the higher f0 (base frequency) of crossbeam.
By being that two beams are drawn the cost function curve discovery with respect to frequency ratio, desirable ratio is 1.27: 1.That is to say cost function minimum in this.This is than " gold " aspect ratio that equals to describe among the WO97/09482 (ratio of f02: f20).The method of improving transducer mode can expand in transducer with three piezoelectric beams.Desirable ratio is 1.315: 1.147: 1.
The combination active member, for example the method for piezoelectric beam can expand to and use piezoceramic disk.With two piezoceramic disks, the size of two piezoceramic disks will consider that than relying on how many patterns determine.To high-level modal density, the base frequency of 1.1+/-0.02 to 1 can draw result preferably.To low level modal density (promptly before several or preceding 5 patterns), 3.2: 1 base frequency is than being suitable.First gap is created between second pattern and three-mode than deep bid.
Since a big gap is arranged between the first and second radius patterns of each dish, better more staggered with three dishes than just obtaining with two dishes.When the 3rd dish joined the double plate transducer, obvious first target be clog foregoing than the gap between second and the three-mode of deep bid.Yet geometric progression shows that this is not unique answer.Use f0, α .f0, α 2.f0 base frequency is drawn rms (α α 2), α there are two main optimum values.These two values approximately are 1.72 and 2.90, and a back value is obviously corresponding with gap filling method.
Use f0, the base frequency of α .f0 and β .f0, making two calibrations is freely, and is worth (seed values) with top α value as the source, can obtain better optimum value.Parameter is to (α β is (1.63,3.03) and (3.20,8.19)).These optimum values are very shallow, and the variation that this means parameter value 10% or 20% is acceptable.
The interchangeable method of determining different dishes is to take all factors into consideration the cost function of the radius ratio of three dishes.Cost function is RSCD (central difference and ratio), SRCD (central difference ratio and) and SCR (center ratio with).For each group model frequency f 0, f 1, f n... F N, these functions are determined by following formula:
RSCD (R of CD summation):
RSCD = 1 N - 1 Σ n = 1 N - 1 ( f n + 1 + f n - 1 - 2 f n ) 2 f 0
SCRD (RCD summation):
SRCD = 1 N - 1 Σ n = 1 N - 1 ( f n + 1 + f n - 1 - 2 f n f n ) 2
CR:
SCR = 1 N - 1 Σ n = 1 N - 1 ( f n + 1 · f n - 1 ( f n ) 2 )
The optimum radius ratio, promptly the minimum place of cost function is 1.3 to all cost functions.Since radius ratio square equal frequency ratio, concerning the dish of these same materials and thickness, 1.3 * 1.3=1.69,1.67 analysis result is very consistent so.
Replacedly or in addition, passive device can be used for transducer to improve its whole mode.Active and passive device can stackedly be provided with.Figure 17 shows the multilayer plate-like transducer that comprises two active piezoelectric elements 72 that stack two passive resonant elements 74 thereon, for example thin metal dish of active and passive device interleaving mode.
Each element couples together with the coupling arrangement that is positioned at middle short column 78 forms of each active and passive device.Each element is arranged with one heart.Each element has different sizes, and the minimum dish with maximum lays respectively at top and the bottom that stacks layer.The coupling arrangement of the short column 78 at the center of the passive device of transducer 70 by being positioned at first maximum disc is installed on the load device 76, for example a panel.
The method of improving transducer mode can expand to the transducer of the active member that comprises that two piezoelectricity is board-like.Be of a size of (1 takes advantage of α) and (α takes advantage of α 2) plate (3/7,4/9) locate the coupling.So frequency ratio is approximately 1.3: 1 (1.14 * 1.14=1.2996).
As shown in figure 18, little mass 104 can be installed in the end of the piezocrystal transducer 106 with coupling arrangement 105.In Figure 19, transducer 114 is inertia electrodynamics moving coil drivers, and for example described in the WO97/09842, it has the sound coil that forms active member 115 and the passive resonant element of mode plate 118 forms.Active member 115 is installed on the mode plate 118 and the center of departing from the mode plate.
Mode plate 118 is installed on the panel 116 by web member 120.The axle 119 of web member and active member aligns but does not align with axle (Z) perpendicular to the face of panel 116.Transducer does not overlap with panel axle (Z) like this.Active member is connected with the electric signal input by electric wire 122.Be equipped with the hole on the mode plate 118 with minimizing the sound radiation from there, the center of the position deviation mode plate 118 of active member, for example in the installation site of the best, i.e. (3/7,4/9).
Figure 20 shows transducer 124, and it comprises that the coupling arrangement 126 by the short column form is installed to the active piezoelectric resonator of panel 128.The breadth length ratio that transducer 124 and panel 128 all have is 1: 1.13.Coupling arrangement 126 not with transducer or panel the axle (130, Z) alignment.In addition, coupling arrangement is positioned at the optimum position, promptly with respect to transducer 124 and panel 128 off-centre.
Figure 21 shows the initiatively transducer 132 of piezoelectric resonator form of beam shape.Transducer 132 is connected on the panel 134 by the coupling arrangement of two short column forms.A short column is positioned at the end 138 of beam, and another short column is positioned at the center of beam.
Figure 22 shows and comprises two transducers 140 by the active resonant element 142,143 of coupling arrangement 144 connections, also comprises a peripheral thing 148 around coupling arrangement 144 and resonant element 142.Transducer can damping vibration and impact like this.Peripheral thing by low mechanical impedance rubber or can be by comparison polymkeric substance make, can not hinder the work of transducer like this.If polymkeric substance is a waterproof, transducer 140 can be made into waterproof.
Resonant element 142 is bigger than the following resonant element 143 that the coupling arrangement by the short column form is connected to panel 145.Short column is positioned at the center of resonant element 143 down.The mains connection 150 that is used for each active member has good sound to be connected from peripheral thing extension and permission with the load device (not shown).
Figure 23 shows the initiatively transducer 160 of resonant element form of a plate-like.On resonant element, form many seams 162 and limit many finger pieces 164, so just form a multi resonant vibrating system.Resonant element is installed on the panel 168 by the coupling arrangement of short column 166 forms.
In Figure 24 A and 24B, transducer 14 is rectangular and has certain on-plane surface curvature, and is the piezoelectric transducer of a precompressed, as (International Application No. WO 96/31333) described in United States Patent (USP) 5632841, it is produced by PAR technology company, and trade mark is NASDRIV.Transducer 14 is initiatively resonant elements like this.Transducer has wide (W) and the position (X) of long (L) and mounting points 16.
The flexibility of transducer 14 means that coupling arrangement 16 is connections of linear formula.When transducer was installed along the connecting line of the minor axis that passes the center, the resonance frequency of two arms of transducer was identical.Best hitch point can modelling, is 43% to 44% the connecting line that is positioned at the length of resonant element.When this is worth, cost function (or " bad " measures) minimum; This is about as much as the connection at 4/9 place of length.In addition, computation model shows that this tie point is effective in the transducer width range.Second hitch point also is suitable at 33% to 34% place of resonant element length.
By with respect to the curve map of aspect ratio (AR=W/2L), optimal aspect ratio can be defined as 1.06+/-0.01 to 1, minimum when cost function is worth at this in order to be installed in the cost drawn along its resonant element of position of length 44% (or rms center than).
Optimum embedding angle θ with respect to panel 12 can find best angle with two " bad measurement (measures ofbadness) ".For example, the standard deviation of response logarithm (dB) level is the measurement of " rough (roughness) ".This numeral is described in International Application No. WO 99/41839 with respect to advantages/disadvantages of the present invention.Be to optimize transducer, promptly use aspect ratio 1.06: 1 and tie point at 44% model, because that vicinal is put is asymmetric, the rotation that connects 16 lines will have a considerable influence.Have one to be 270 ° with reference to angle, a promptly long end face left.
Figure 25 A and 25B show the transducer 18 of a symmetric shape, and resonant element has trapezoidal cross section.Trapezoidal shape is determined that by two parameters these two parameters are AR (aspect ratio) and TR (taper ratio).AR and TR determine the 3rd parameter lambda, and more such mandatory conditions can be satisfied, and be equal as the both sides quality of line.
The equation of constraint of quality such as following formula is (or homalographic);
∫ 0 λ ( 1 + 2 TR ( 1 2 - ξ ) ) dξ = ∫ λ 1 ( 1 + 2 TR ( 1 2 - ξ ) ) dξ
Following formula can be obtained non-independent variable TR or λ easily, provides:
Or
TR = 1 - 2 λ 2 λ ( 1 - λ )
λ = 1 + TR - 1 + TR 2 2 TR ≈ 1 2 - TR 4
Equation can conveniently obtain moment of inertia and equate, or minimizes total moment of inertia.
Be used for equating that the equation of constraint of moment of inertia (or equal second area moment) is:
∫ 0 λ ( 1 + 2 TR ( 1 2 - ξ ) ) ( λ - ξ ) 2 dξ = ∫ λ 1 ( 1 + 2 TR ( 1 2 - ξ ) ) ( ξ - λ ) 2 dξ
TR = ( λ 2 - λ + 1 ) ( 2 λ - 1 ) 2 λ 4 - 4 λ 3 + 2 λ - 1
Or
λ ≈ 1 2 - TR 8
The equation of constraint that is used to minimize total moment of inertia is:
d dλ ( ∫ 0 1 ( 1 + 2 TR ( 1 2 - ξ ) ) ( λ - ξ ) 2 dξ ) = 0
Or
TR=3-6λ
λ = 1 2 - TR 6
The result that cost function (" bad " measure) is drawn out 40FEA is the scope from 0.9 to 1.25 at following condition: AR, the scope of TR from 0.1 to 0.5, and constraint λ equates quality.Transducer is installed in mass centre like this.The result is made into form, and demonstrates their optimum shape, wherein AR=1 and TR=0.3, and the value of λ is near 43%.

The advantage of trapezoidal transducer is that transducer can be installed along the connecting line at the center that is positioned at weight/mass, rather than installs along the connecting line that is positioned at line of symmetry.Such transducer has the advantage of improving modal distribution, and does not have the imbalance on the inertia.The methods that used two kinds in front are compared select 270 degree to 300 degree as the optimum orientation angle.
The used transducer of the present invention can be counted as relevant with the distribution pattern panel, and for example described in the WO97/09842, wherein the design object of transducer is a distribution pattern.
