摘要
提出了一种基于AlN压电微机械超声换能器(PMUTs)的高精度双通道超声流量计,用于测量小直径(9.6 mm)管道的流量。超声波换能器由四个10 × 10的pmut阵列组成,在空气中谐振频率为1mhz。超声波换能器在连续正弦电压的激励下,对收发信号进行互相关运算,得到超声波在液体中的时间延迟。流量计采用双通道设计,通过取平均值来减小测量误差。为了减小互相关运算中的误差,提出了一种迭代算法,有效地提高了测量精度。流量计在3.5-10 l min−1的流量范围内进行评估,相对误差较小,为0.7%。
A Two-channel Ultrasonic Flowmeter Based on AlN Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers Arrays with Improved Cross-correlation Method
Abstract This paper presents a highly accurate two-channel ultrasonic flowmeter based on AlN piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) to measure flow rate in small-diameter pipes (9.6 mm). The ultrasonic transducers consist of four 10 by 10 PMUTs arrays with resonant frequency of 1 MHz in air. The ultrasonic transducers are excited by continuous sine voltage, and the transmitted and received signals are subjected to cross-correlation operation to obtain the time delay of the ultrasonic wave in the liquid. A dual-channel design of the flowmeter can reduce measurement errors by taking the average value. To reduce errors in the cross-correlation operation, an iterative algorithm is proposed, which effectively improves the measurement accuracy. The flowmeter is evaluated in flow range of 3.5–10 l min −1 , and has a small relative error of 0.7%.
