Small pump and ultrasonic control technology using an ultrasonic probe.
Development of "Control Technology for Nonlinear Phenomena" Using a Small Pump
The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed "ultrasonic control technology" that dynamically controls nonlinear phenomena related to ultrasonic propagation by utilizing a small pump for liquid circulation. Nonlinear phenomena are evaluated through analysis using an ultrasonic tester. The complex changes in ultrasound (such as ultrasonic cleaners, ultrasonic probes, etc.) are confirmed through time-series data analysis of sound pressure from ultrasonic oscillation and reception, identifying various interactions. Based on the confirmation of these interactions, the oscillation control conditions using ultrasonic probes are optimized, achieving a dynamic ultrasonic control system tailored to specific objectives. In practical applications, such as ultrasonic cleaning, the ON/OFF control (or control of flow rate and velocity, etc.) of the current liquid circulation device is optimized by considering the ultrasonic propagation characteristics related to the installation state of the device and the surface elastic waves of the target object, including the output, oscillation frequency, and control conditions of the ultrasound. In particular, by utilizing the vibration characteristics of the pump to alternately circulate liquid and gas, new nonlinear effects of ultrasound and microbubbles are realized.
