ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER ARRANGEMENT AND ULTRASONIC WATER METER

摘要

An ultrasonic transducer arrangement has a housing for mounting the ultrasonic transducer arrangement in a through-hole in a housing of an ultrasonic water meter in a mounting plane. The housing of the meter contains an ultrasonic measuring section along which a transit time measurement can be carried out by the ultrasonic transducer arrangement. The ultrasonic transducer arrangement has a transducer body located in the housing for generating and/or receiving an acoustic signal, a housing wall assigned to the transducer body through which the acoustic signal runs, and an electrical contact for connecting the transducer body to a voltage or current source. The transducer body is positioned in the housing at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting plane. A holding device, which is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting plane is provided inside the housing, which exerts a holding force oriented towards the housing wall.

主权项

1. An ultrasonic transducer configuration, comprising:
a housing in a form of a pocket, for mounting the ultrasonic transducer configuration in a through-hole in a further housing of an ultrasonic water meter in a mounting plane, the further housing of the ultrasonic water meter containing an ultrasonic measuring section along which a transit time measurement can be carried out using the ultrasonic transducer configuration; a transducer body disposed in said housing for at least one of generating or receiving an acoustic signal; a housing wall assigned to said transducer body through which the acoustic signal runs; an electrical contact for connecting said transducer body to a voltage or current source; said transducer body being positioned in said housing at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting plane of the ultrasonic transducer configuration on the further housing of the ultrasonic water meter; said housing wall which is assigned to said transducer body and through which the acoustic signal runs also runs at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting plane of the ultrasonic transducer configuration on the further housing of the ultrasonic water meter; and a holding device oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting plane of the ultrasonic transducer configuration and disposed inside said housing and exerts a holding force oriented towards said housing wall on said transducer body.
