Technical field
The utility model belongs to a kind of sensor, is used for the phenomenon of freezing is detected.
Background technology
Freezing is a kind of spontaneous phenomenon that may work the mischief, and can hinder normally taking off of aircraft and lands as icing on the aircraft runway; It is out of control that icing meeting on the highway is skidded automobile, causes traffic hazard; Can produce at some position of body (as the leading edge of a wing) when aircraft aloft flies and freeze the safe flight of serious threat aircraft.
Freezing sensor is to survey a kind of information acquisition device or the device that the do not freeze generation and the icing order of severity being arranged.Existing freezing sensor is based on vibration tube principle, to vibrate tube and make the rod-type detector bar, the vibration tube is made flexible harmonic moving under electromagnetic force drives, when having icing phenomenon to take place on the detector bar, the resonance frequency of vibration tube can descend, and the bright icing degree of speaking more more of descending is serious more.The application of this freezing sensor is restricted, as is used for aircraft, then can not flush surfaces such as being installed on wing, can only stretch in the air outward.This sensor can not be applied to the icing detection of airfield runway and highway.
Summary of the invention
The utility model proposes a kind of piezoelectric resonant diaphragm type sensor, overcome the limitation of existing vibration tube freezing sensor, be used for the phenomenon of freezing is detected.
A kind of piezoelectric resonant diaphragm type sensor of the present utility model, tubular Stainless Steel Shell one end welding vibrating diaphragm, the other end forms closed chamber by the back shroud sealing; It is characterized in that: be bonded with piezoelectric element on (1) described vibrating diaphragm, the closed chamber wall is equipped with temperature element near piezoelectric element and vibrating diaphragm, and piezoelectric element is connected with input electronic circuit electric signal with driving by the band screen layer cable that passes closed chamber with temperature element; (2) described piezoelectric element consists of: the piezoelectric element body simultaneously connects with reference to ground electrode, and piezoelectric element body another side connects drive electrode and is the signal electrode that drive electrode centered on.

By the character of piezoelectric element as can be known, apply the alternating voltage signal between reference ground electrode and drive electrode, then the piezoelectric element body produces the radial expansion distortion, and this is the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric element.When piezoelectric element in some way, for example bonding by powerful conducting resinl and vibrating diaphragm, then vibrating diaphragm is because of the radial expansion distortion of the piezoelectric element vibration that can occur bending and deformation.Utilize the direct piezo electric effect of piezoelectric element can on signal electrode, obtain the flexural deformation vibration signal again.The utility model promptly is to adopt such mode of operation, makes the Round Membranes sheet do flexural vibrations, and the vibration frequency working point is the single order tuning-points of vibrating diaphragm.The one side of vibrating diaphragm is as the test surface that freezes, and when there not being when freezing on it, working sensor is on a certain original frequency; When the generation of freezing is arranged on the test surface, layers of ice has increased the rigidity of vibrating diaphragm greatly, thereby cause the increase of freezing sensor resonance frequency, in resonant circuit, obtain frequency signal and increment thereof, just can learn whether the phenomenon of freezing takes place, and learn what of the thickness that freezes from the size of frequency increment.
The utility model also comprises a minute sized Pt100 temperature element, the acting as of this temperature element: the temperature of (1) survey sensor itself, temperature signal are as the usefulness of sensor temperature compensation, to guarantee the stability of sensor frequency to temperature; (2) when sensor temperature is higher than 20 ℃, electronic measurement system will cut away the frequency signal of sensor, reduces false alarm rate, so that the warning of freezing is more reliable.
The principal feature of the utility model sensor is: (1) utilizes the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric element to make and surveys vibrating diaphragm generation flexural vibrations distortion, utilize the direct piezo electric effect of piezoelectric element to pick up the vibration signal of diaphragm simultaneously, by the driving of electronic circuit, make working sensor on resonance frequency.Therefore working stability is high to the sensitivity that ice sheet detects; (2) owing to use piezoelectric element, the power consumption of sensor is very low; (3) built-in miniature temperature element can carry out intelligent compensation to the frequency temperature variation of sensor, has improved the reliability of system greatly; (4) size sensor is little, can flush to be installed on the surface of detecting that needs to freeze, and as highway, aircraft wing leading edge etc., this existing freezing sensor is difficult to realize.

Embodiment
Now embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated in conjunction with Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Fig. 2, Fig. 3.
Figure 1A, Figure 1B are a kind of wafer-type piezoelectric element of three electrode radial expansion deformation vibrations, with reference to ground electrode 1 is circle and the one side that covers piezoelectric element body 2, the another side of piezoelectric element body 2 is a drive electrode 4, is partitioned into a small pieces signal electrode 3 in the drive electrode 4.Each electrode all is ag materials and is created on the piezoelectric element body with sintering process.
Figure 2 shows that an embodiment of the present utility model, tubular Stainless Steel Shell 7 one ends welding vibrating diaphragm 6, the other end forms closed chamber by back shroud 9 sealings; The piezoelectric element that bonds on the vibrating diaphragm 6, piezoelectric element is to make through the lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) electrooptical ceramics material of modification, and piezoelectric element is by reference ground electrode 1, piezoelectric element body 2, and a small pieces signal electrode 3 that is partitioned in drive electrode 4 and the drive electrode 4 is formed.Each electrode is to be created on the piezoelectric element body 2 based on ag material and with sintering process.Temperature element 12, it is near piezoelectric element and vibrating diaphragm, thereby can record the temperature of piezoelectric element and vibrating diaphragm with fast speeds.Sensor internal back up pad 10, its function are closed cavity and tandem signal extension line.Band screen layer cable 8 is drawn piezoelectric element and each signal wire of temperature element.In addition, also be evenly distributed with 4 mounting holes 11 around the sensor.
A microsize Pt100 temperature element 12 in the utility model act as: the temperature of (1) survey sensor itself, temperature signal are as the usefulness of sensor temperature compensation, to guarantee the stability of sensor frequency to temperature; (2) when sensor temperature is higher than 20 ℃, electronic measurement system will cut away the frequency signal of sensor, reduces false alarm rate, so that the warning of freezing is more reliable.
