Ultrasound production source with threaded fastener and membrane
The patent US12029925B2 describes an ultrasound production source device designed to enhance the functionality and efficiency of ultrasound applications. The device features a body that houses an ultrasound transducer, characterized by an externally threaded tubular wall and a peripheral annular rim that defines an opening. A flexible membrane is integrated into the design, with its peripheral portion engaging the annular rim of the body. The device also includes an internally threaded fastener ring that secures the flexible membrane in place, ensuring a tight seal. The assembly allows for limited transverse and radial movement of a washer retained within an annular recess of the fastener ring, facilitating the proper alignment and sealing of components during operation.
Additional claims detail various aspects of the device, including the design of the annular recess, which may have a C-shaped section, and the potential inclusion of a sealing gasket on the washer. The washer can be constructed from polytetrafluoroethylene, enhancing its durability and sealing capabilities. The patent also outlines the compatibility of the device with various accessories, such as a protective cover and a ring with an alignment system, which can be threaded onto the body. This modular approach allows for customization and improved calibration during use, making the ultrasound production assembly versatile for different applications in the field.
