ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY AND ULTRASOUND FLOWMETER

摘要

The present invention relates to an ultrasound transducer assembly for an ultrasound flowmeter comprising a unipartite or multipartite housing (2) which is provided for being connected to a line carrying the medium to be measured, wherein the ultrasound transducer transmits ultrasound through the housing (2) and the ultrasound transducer assembly has the following features: an ultrasound transducer body (4, 7) having a first main surface on the medium-facing side and a second main surface on the side that is remote from the medium, first, preferably areal contact means for making electric contact with the first main surface of the ultrasound transducer body (4, 7), second, preferably areal contact means for making electric contact with the second main surface of the ultrasound transducer body (4, 7), with the first contact means being situated between the ultrasound transducer body (4, 7) and the housing (2), through which ultrasound is to be transmitted, of the ultrasound flowmeter. In order to simplify the construction, it is proposed to place the first contact means of the ultrasound transducer body (4, 7) loosely into the housing (2) or fix them on the housing side.
