Below, will each ingredient of electronic stethoscope of the present invention be described.
(1) audio collection microphone
In the present invention; The preferred electret capcitor microphone of audio collection microphone; Select for use this microphone be because: (1) its frequency response (20Hz-20KHz) and impedance are suitable for monitoring the sound that multiple internal organs send; Specifically, because the frequency of the hear sounds that can hear, lungs sound, borborygmus, fetal heart sound etc. all in 0-1500HZ, belongs to the low frequency stage of audiorange; And the frequency response range of electret capacitor type audio collection microphone is much larger than the frequency range of the hear sounds of human body, lungs sound, borborygmus, fetal heart sound etc., so can monitor the sound of multiple frequencies such as lungs sound, borborygmus, fetal heart sound; (2) noise inhibiting ability is strong.
Certainly, the present invention also can adopt the audio collection microphone of other type, for example piezoelectric ceramic wafer.
(2) resonator cavity housing
Resonator cavity principle of the present invention is following: when source of sound (promptly; From internal organs send through body surface radiating sound) excitation radiate the back through body surface and promote the intravital air column of coupled cavity that limits resonator cavity housing 1; Make its air column produce the continuous checker that expands and compress, thereby produce resonance (resonance).
In the present invention, when in resonator cavity housing 1, producing resonance, obtain plane wave in the cavity in resonator cavity housing 1.Below, suppose that resonator cavity housing 1 is cylindrical tube, the size design of the coupling cavity in the resonator cavity housing 1 is described.
According to cylindricality acoustic waveguide tube communication theory, under cylindrical coordinates, try to achieve the normal frequency of coupling cavity by wave equation:
Wherein, c
0Be the velocity of sound, get 340m/s; A is coupling cavity radius; k
MnBe a root coefficient, depend on the value of mn, (m, n) the how many times normal mode in the expression cylindrical waveguide for example, is worked as m=0, then representes (0,0) the secondary flat ripple along straightline propagation during n=0, can obtain m, the value of n through table look-up (for example, following table 1).

Consider heart source and the unsymmetry of breathing source of sound, in the coupling cavity, obtain plane wave, we can confirm that the cut-off frequency of acoustic waveguide tube coupling cavity in the cylindrical tube is:
Only make f
cGreater than the upper limit of the operating frequency (measuring frequency) of sound source, can make the coupling cavity obtain plane wave, combine (2) formula to draw to be coupled the radius of cavity:
a≤0.29λ
c (3)
Wherein, λ

When confirming the length of cavity, guarantee the intravital acoustic pressure uniformity in chamber, will make according to the sound field theory that acoustic pressure evenly must meet the following conditions in the cavity:
L/λ
c<<1 (4)
Wherein, L is the length of air column, selectes L/ λ according to different accuracies of measurement in the actual tests
cValue, here as long as satisfy (5) formula, basically just can to satisfy the intravital acoustic pressure of coupled cavity in the measuring frequency scope that will require even.
The upper limiting frequency of considering hear sounds and borborygmus is no more than 2KHz, so when the cut-off frequency of coupling cavity is set, draw the be coupled radius of cavity and the length of air column according to own needs for people's formula (3) and formula (5).
Certainly when actual design,, also need assist certain experiment to screen for the design of the length of the radius of coupling cavity and air column because coupling material that cavity adopted is different.In addition, when resonator cavity housing 1 is other shape except that cylindrical tube, can obtains the size design of the coupling cavity of resonator cavity housing 1 qualification with reference to above computational methods and through experiment, and then obtain the size design of resonator cavity housing 1.
