Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic technology, in particular to a fast tracking device and method for the mechanical resonance frequency of an ultrasonic transducer. Background technique [0002] Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers are widely used in the field of ultrasonic technology due to their advantages of low cost, small size, and high power. Its key technology is to track the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer to obtain higher output efficiency. The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer itself has multiple characteristic frequencies, including resonant frequency, anti-resonant frequency, series resonant frequency, parallel resonant frequency, etc. The series resonant frequency is the mechanical resonant frequency of the transducer, which has the largest power output and the smallest Calorific value is the best working frequency. Because the resonant frequency and the series resonant frequency are close and easy to track, many ...
