Acoustic fluid sensor

Abstract

The invention discloses an acoustic fluid sensor. The acoustic fluid sensor comprises an acoustic sensing device, an experimental container, an ultrasonic transmitting device, an ultrasonic receivingdevice and a calculation and processing device; the acoustic transmitting device comprises a hollow cylindrical housing for holding a load fluid, and silicone tubes which are arranged at two ends of the hollow cylindrical housing and constitute a through cavity together with the hollow cylindrical housing; the ultrasonic transmitting device transmits ultrasonic waves into an ambient fluid, excitesthe load fluid in the hollow cylindrical housing to form Scholte-Stoneley circular waves; when the Scholte-Stoneley circular waves satisfy a phase matching condition, standing waves are formed aroundthe hollow cylindrical housing so as to generate a local sound field; and the calculation and processing device determines the quality factor of the acoustic fluid sensor based on normalized transmission spectrum data. The coupling degree of the local sound field generated by the acoustic fluid sensor of the invention and the load fluid is large, and the quality factor and sensitivity of the acoustic fluid sensor can be improved. The acoustic fluid sensor is suitable for the high-sensitivity sensing of a trace fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fluid detection, in particular to an acoustic fluid sensor. Background technique [0002] This section is intended to provide a background or context to embodiments of the invention that are recited in the claims. The descriptions herein are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0003] In the fields of biochemical detection, clinical medicine, environmental monitoring, and food safety monitoring, the use of acoustic fluid sensors to quickly and accurately detect fluid parameters (such as composition, density, elastic modulus, sound velocity, and viscosity, etc.) has important application value. Acoustic fluid sensors change the properties of the surrounding fluid medium (such as mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties), and can detect the shift of resonance modes such as frequency, amplitude, and phase, thereby realizing the sensing and detection of fluids.
