Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of acoustic metering test, and particularly relates to an automatic calibration device and method for sensitivity of an air sound detector.
Background
The geophone is a hardware device for receiving earth surface vibration in seismic exploration, and the performance of the geophone is directly related to the quality and geological effect of acquired data. With the continuous development of acoustic technology, the acoustic application frequency gradually moves to low frequency, so that the requirements on the accuracy and quality of seismic data acquisition are higher and higher, and the unit performance measurement of the related low-frequency detectors is also important.
In the prior art, the calibration method of the low-frequency detector is different according to the difference of the working frequencies of the low-frequency detector, the working frequencies of the low-frequency detector are mostly different from a few hertz to hundreds of hertz in the development process of the earthquake detection technology, the detectors with the working frequencies above 2KHz are usually calibrated by adopting a free field reciprocity method, and the detectors working at the low frequency are difficult to meet the free field and far field test conditions due to longer wavelength of the low frequency band, so that the test calibration is usually carried out in an acoustic tube, and the test calibration method in the acoustic tube mainly comprises a vibration liquid column method, a standing wave tube comparison method, a coupling cavity reciprocity method and a travelling wave tube method. The coupling cavity reciprocity method can only calibrate one detector at a time, and the vibration liquid column method, the standing wave tube comparison method and the traveling wave tube method can calibrate a plurality of detectors at the same time, but the calibration process needs to be carried out in water, so that the operation steps are complex, and the working efficiency is low.
