The multi-spherical crown HIFU piezo ceramic treatment probe is a complex structure. When is designing the probe, We need to determine a lot of design parameters, including the number of array elements, the arrangement of array elements, the frequency,The array size and the radius of curvature of the array are several important array structure parameters. Is it reasonable to choose,The structural parameters of these arrays will directly affect the focusing effect of HIFU piezoelectric sensor. It is a very good sound field simulation tool.The important role is to make an approximate prediction of the spatial sound field of the designed probe. We use the number of sound fields.The value calculation platform realizes the structural design of the array through a primary HIFU array optimization design.This section uses the MATLAB algorithm development platform to establish a sound field calculation platform for HIFU therapeutic probes.The specific work is mainly divided into three parts: (1) constructing the sound field model of the regular hexagonal single-array element (2) designing the sound field of quantitative analysis standard of the HIFU treatment probe.


Single-array sound field calculation model


In the structural design of the ultrasonic hifu piezoelectric crystal, the approximate calculation method of the sound field can quickly predict the sound field of the probe, especially for observation points located at the far field; in addition to accurate and complex finite element calculations method, the approximate calculation method of sound field can enable researchers to more clearly observe the key to affect the distribution of sound field.which are very helpful for design probe . Far from field sound for sinusoidal signal excitation.Analysis is a commonly used approximate calculation method. It is a numerical solution to approximate the sound pressure of a resonant frequency HIFU piezoelectric in the far field.This method is also the theoretical basis for the establishment of the array sound field calculation model. The party will be described in detail below.The principle of solving the law. The picture shows the spatial sound field model of a single element.


First, introduce the constraints of the high intensity focused piezo,


(1) The observation point is in the far field space point of the sound source S;
(2) The sound source S is a planar array element whose main vibration mode is parallel to the positive direction of the Z axis;
(3) The excitation signal of the array element is a single-frequency sinusoidal signal;
(4) The sound field of the planar sound source S is equivalent to the result of the sound field of its surface panel;
(5) The transmission medium of Hifu piezo transducer speaker is an infinitely large, uniform waveguide with acoustic attenuation characteristics.
