Definitions
- the present invention relates to ultrasonic sensors, and in particular, to ultrasonic sensors suitable for flow measurement of high temperature fluids and a method of manufacturing the same.
- Non-Patent Document 1 There is an ultrasonic flowmeter which measures the flow rate by converting the flow rate into a flow rate by measuring the flow rate of the fluid and firing the ultrasonic wave into the fluid and receiving the emitted ultrasonic wave.
- An ultrasonic sensor which is a piezoelectric vibrator, is used for launching or receiving ultrasonic waves.
- the flow rate can be determined by the Doppler effect or the like, but ultrasonic sensors are provided on the upstream and downstream sides of the pipe, respectively, and the flow rate is determined by the difference between the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave upstream and the ultrasonic wave downstream. As a result, a transmission time difference measuring method for calculating a flow rate is widely used.
- an ultrasonic sensor is constructed by the timing of transmitting and receiving the ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic sensors upstream and downstream of the pipe, and the ultrasonic propagation time upstream and the ultrasonic waves downstream by the high-speed counter. Measure the propagation time.
- the zero cross method is to measure a place where the received ultrasonic signal crosses zero.
- the correlation method finds the propagation time upstream and the propagation time downstream from the autocorrelation peak time of a transmission waveform and a reception waveform.
- Ultrasonic flowmeters are also used for measuring flow rates of high temperature and high pressure fluids such as boilers.
- the sensor using PZT lead zirconate titanate which is a piezoelectric ceramic is mainly used conventionally.
- the Curie point of PZT depends on its composition, but it is around 150 ° C to 250 ° C, and the piezoelectric constant decreases significantly in the vicinity of the Curie point.
- a sensor using a piezoelectric material or a piezoelectric single crystal material having a high Curie point is used (Non-Patent Document 2).
- Patent Literature 1 provides a pipe through which a high temperature fluid flows in a container filled with a low temperature liquid, and arranges ultrasonic sensors so as to be cooled by the low temperature liquid on the upstream and downstream pipe walls of the pipe, respectively, and the transfer time difference method. It is disclosed to obtain the flow rate of the high temperature fluid in the piping accordingly.
- Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which the temperature rise of the piezoelectric vibrator due to heat from the hot fluid is prevented by interposing a quartz acoustic transmission path between the piezoelectric vibrator and the high temperature fluid when measuring the flow rate of the hot fluid. Is disclosed.
- lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 : hereafter abbreviated as LN) is a piezoelectric material which has a much higher Curie point than PZT and can withstand high temperatures.
- LN lithium niobate
- the Curie point of LN is about 1200 ° C.
- Fig. 1A shows the crystal structure of LN.
- LN has a trigonal crystal structure, and as shown is crystallographically X, Y and Z axes are determined.
- a metal piece i.e., a dumper
- the metal piece is the same plane as the output surface of the ultrasonic wave in the ultrasonic sensor, and Likewise, there are two cases in which the surface opposite to the output surface of the ultrasonic wave is used.
- an aluminum alloy brazing material is used for joining the dumping part and the piezoelectric vibrator.
- Patent Document 5 silver (Ag) is used as the dumping part. Iii) The piezoelectric vibrator and the dumping part are joined by joining. Patent Document 7 also bonds a metal shoe that functions as a dumping portion and forms a temperature gradient to a piezoelectric vibrator made of a high Curie ferroelectric material.
- Patent Document 10 uses Al-Si-Mg alloy or silver lead as a brazing material for bonding to an LN piezoelectric vibrator, Ag: 45%, Cu: 16%, Cd: 24%, and the balance of silver lead. Zn is used.
- Patent Document 10 when bonding an LN piezoelectric vibrator to a protective layer made of a cermet insulating material, a thin film of Cu or Ni is formed on the surface of the cermet insulating material by ion plating, and a piezoelectric vibrator uses a silver electrode. After forming, joining the silver electrode of a piezoelectric vibrator and a cermet insulating material by the said silver lead is disclosed.
- the coefficient of linear expansion in thermal expansion is anisotropic, and the coefficient of linear expansion in the X-axis direction and the coefficient of linear expansion in the Y-axis direction are the same. It makes a difference.
- the anisotropy in thermal expansion is in the plane of the bonding surface. As a result, the inconvenience that the piezoelectric vibrator is cracked may occur due to the application of a thermal cycle.
- Non-Patent Document 3 shows the piezoelectric coefficient in the Z-axis direction in the LN single crystal is smaller than that of other general ferroelectric materials. Therefore, an ultrasonic sensor that does not break the LN piezoelectric vibrator even when a thermal cycle is applied has a problem that the transmission efficiency and reception efficiency of the ultrasonic wave are small and are not suitable for accurate flow rate measurement.
- Table 1 shows the characteristics such as the Curie point, the piezoelectric coefficient, the relative dielectric constant in various piezoelectric materials
- Table 2 shows the thermal expansion coefficient (linear expansion coefficient) in LN and other materials.
- the Z cut plate indicates an LN plate cut along two parallel Z cut surfaces
- the Y36 ° cut plate indicates an LN plate cut along two parallel Y-axis 36 ° cut surfaces described later.
- the coupling agent mainly composed of water glass is installed on the ultrasonic sensor by application after completion of the ultrasonic sensor. Also in patent document 9, it uses the electrode which consists of heat-resistant soft metal which has suitable baking in a measurement temperature range, and shows using this electrode as a coupling agent. Moreover, it is also known to use gold foil and copper foil as a high temperature coupler, and the example using silver is also known.
- the ultrasonic flowmeter is, for example, based on the difference between the ultrasonic transfer time in the flow direction and the ultrasonic transfer time in the reverse direction from the flow, and the like, and thus the flow rate is measured (Non-Patent Document 1). It is preferable that the Q value of the ultrasonic signal as a whole is small and the reverberation is small. It is especially important to reduce the reverberation when the zero cross method or the correlation measurement method is used to measure the propagation time difference.
- a thin protective film or retardant is disposed on the front of the non-destructive inspection or medical ultrasonic probe.
- the retarder also functions as the dumping portion described above. If the acoustic impedance of the retarder (here, the inherent acoustic impedance expressed by the product of the sound velocity and density of the material) is close to the acoustic impedance of the piezoelectric vibrator, the ultrasonic waves generated by the piezoelectric vibrator are transmitted to the retarder, and the vibration energy Is scattered away from within the vibrator, so that multiple reflections, i.e., resonance, within the vibrator are rapidly attenuated.

- an orientation in which the Y axis of the crystal is rotated about + 36 ° (for example, 36 ° ⁇ 2 °) in the vicinity of the X axis is known as an orientation with a large piezoelectric constant (for example, Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4).
- the surface perpendicular to the direction in which the Y axis is rotated by about + 36 ° around the X axis is an ultrasonic output plane.
- the ultrasonic sensor may be configured.
- FIG. 1 (b) illustrates the 36 ° cut surface of the Y axis of LN, and shows that the 36 ° cut surface of the Y axis can be obtained by rotating the plane perpendicular to the Y axis (Y cut surface) by + 36 ° around the X axis. .
- the figure also shows the Z cut plane for reference.
- surfaces other than the Z-cut surface that is, the surface inclined in the Z-axis direction as the normal, the linear expansion coefficients are different in two directions in the plane, so that uniform thermal expansion cannot be obtained.
- the crystal and the retardant are joined by the bonding material. Therefore, the crystal and the retardant are determined in the temperature range applied at the time of joining or the operating temperature range of the ultrasonic sensor.
