Problems solved by technology

[0004] When mounting an ultrasonic transducer with such a configuration on a mounting substrate, the bottom surface of the matching layer is in contact with the mounting substrate, which may destabilize the acoustic characteristics.
In addition, since the entire matching layer is exposed to the outside, durability such as weather resistance and impact resistance is poor, so damage to the matching layer may occur and the acoustic characteristics may deteriorate.

Abstract

The present invention achieves an ultrasonic transducer that has a structure suitable for use in the high-frequency band and that is highly durable. In addition, the sonic characteristics of the ultrasonic transducer are less likely to be affected by the bonding strength, contact pressure, and / or physical variation between members. The ultrasonic transducer (1A) is provided with a resin case (3) and a transducer (11). The resin case (3) has an opening (3A). The transducer (11) is provided with a matching layer (11A) and a piezoelectric element layer (11B). The piezoelectric element layer (11B) is configured so as to perform stand-alone thickness vibration, and the side surface of the piezoelectric element layer that intersects the main surface of the thickness direction faces and is in contact with the inner wall surface of the opening (3A). The matching layer (11A) is layered in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric element layer (11B), and the side surfaces that protrude from the opening (3A) in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric element layer (11B) and intersect the main surface of the thickness direction are free from the inner wall surface of the opening (3A).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic transducer having a structure in which a piezoelectric element layer and a matching layer are laminated. In particular, it relates to an ultrasonic transducer in which a piezoelectric element layer vibrates in thickness in a lamination direction of a piezoelectric element layer and a matching layer. Background technique [0002] The ultrasonic transducer is configured to include a piezoelectric element layer for transmitting or receiving sound waves. In an ultrasonic transducer, in order to reduce the reflection of sound waves at the interface between the piezoelectric element layer and the outside (external air), sometimes a matching layer for achieving acoustic impedance matching is provided between the piezoelectric element layer and the outside ( For example, refer to Patent Document 1.). [0003] Figure 8 (A) is a diagram explaining a configuration example of an ultrasonic transducer according to a...
