BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the technical field of pneumatic sounding, and particularly to a pneumatic sounder and a control system thereof.

2. Description of Related Art

Relevant researches show that a high-intensity sounder can generate sound waves of sinusoidal, random, and composite traveling waves within a given frequency range by using an electrical signal to control an air flow to generate high-intensity noise. The high-intensity sounder can act as a sound source of a traveling wave tube, a reverberation room, and a free sound field acoustic experiment. The high-intensity sounder can simulate noise and ultrasonic waves generated by an engine when an aircraft such as an airplane and a rocket is in flight.

The patent application CN2694423Y discloses a pneumatic sounder capable of generating high-intensity noise, mainly including a magnet, a moving and static coil assembly, an air flow inlet, and an air flow outlet. The moving coil is connected to an electrical signal control system and moves based on electromagnetism, and a gap between the moving coil and the static coil changes with the motion of the moving coil. An air flow enters from the air flow inlet, flows through the gap between the moving coil and the static coil upon reaching the moving and static coil assembly, and is cut by the moving and static coil assembly to generate a sound wave. When the moving and static coil assembly consisting of the moving coil and the static coil is in operation, the static coil remains stationery, and the moving coil reciprocates to change the gap between the moving coil and the static coil. This adjustment of a cutting seam distance between the moving coil and the static coil only by the motion of the moving coil can meet an early experimental standard requirement, that is, when the requirement for a sound pressure level is not high in the case of a high frequency sound spectrum, the use of a structure in which a moving coil and a static coil fit with each other can meet the early experimental standard requirement. However, the current experimental standard requirement is that a higher requirement for the sound pressure level still remains in the case of the high frequency sound spectrum.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a pneumatic sounder in which a higher sound pressure level can still be maintained in a high-intensity noise experimental standard requirement in the case of a high frequency sound spectrum, and provides a control system of the pneumatic sounder.

To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pneumatic sounder, including an air flow outlet, an air flow inlet, and an electrical signal control system, characterized by further including double magnets and a double-moving coil assembly. The double magnets include a first magnet and a second magnet, and the double-moving coil assembly includes a first moving coil and a second moving coil. The first moving coil is disposed in a magnetic field of the first magnet, and the second moving coil is disposed in a magnetic field of the second magnet. The first moving coil and the second moving coil are connected to the electrical signal control system respectively, and the air flow inlet, the double-moving coil assembly, and the air flow outlet are sequentially disposed along a flow direction of an air flow.

Further, the pneumatic sounder further includes an air flow filter, disposed behind the air flow inlet and in front of the first magnet.

Further, a front air flow channel is formed between the outer periphery of the first magnet and the inner wall of the casting. The air flow entering from the air flow inlet reaches the double-moving coil assembly through the front air flow channel.

Further, the first moving coil and the second moving coil are disposed oppositely, and the first magnet and the second magnet are sequentially disposed along the flow direction of the air flow respectively.

Further, a feedback coil is disposed on the first moving coil and/or the second moving coil for acquiring a motion state signal of the moving coil.

The present invention further provides a control system of a pneumatic sounder, including:

a feedback coil disposed on a double-moving coil assembly, configured to generate a feedback signal when the double-moving coil assembly operates;

a signal adjuster, configured to receive the feedback signal sent by the feedback coil and adjust amplitude parameters of signals from a signal source; and

Further, the control system of a pneumatic sounder further includes a power amplifier, configured to perform amplification processing on the signals from the signal source and send the amplified signals to the double-moving coil assembly.

Further, the signals with the phase parameters adjusted by the phase adjuster are transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly.

Further, the signals with the amplitude parameters adjusted by the signal processor are transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly.

The term “connection” in the present invention may refer to direct connection between components or indirect connection between components by means of other components.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of a pneumatic sounder of the present invention. The pneumatic sounder of the present invention includes an air flow outlet 7, an air flow inlet 1, and an electrical signal control system, and further includes double magnets and a double-moving coil assembly. The double magnets include a first magnet 3 and a second magnet 6, and the double-moving coil assembly includes a first moving coil 4 and a second moving coil 5. The first moving coil 4 is disposed in a magnetic field of the first magnet 3, and the second moving coil 5 is disposed in a magnetic field of the second magnet 6. The first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5 are connected to the electrical signal control system respectively, and the air flow inlet 1, the double-moving coil assembly, and the air flow outlet 7 are sequentially disposed along a flow direction of an air flow. A front air flow channel is formed between an outer periphery of the first magnet 3 and an inner wall of a casing, and an air flow entering from the air flow inlet 1 reaches the double-moving coil assembly through the front air flow channel.

With continuing reference to FIG. 1, the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5 are disposed oppositely, a narrow gap is formed between the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5, and the gas from the air flow inlet 1 will pass through the gap between the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5.

The pneumatic sounder in one embodiment may further include an air flow filter 2, and the air flow filter 2 is disposed behind the air flow inlet 1 and in front of the first magnet 3 and is used to filter and purify the gas entering the pneumatic sounder.

In one embodiment, to optimize control processes of the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5, a feedback coil is disposed on the first moving coil 4 and/or the second moving coil 5 for acquiring a motion state signal of the moving coil. Specific control processes will be set forth below.

Referring to FIG. 1, the pneumatic sounder of the present invention has one operating mode as follows: compressed air/nitrogen (the pressure may be 0.3-0.5 Mpa) enters the pneumatic sounder through the air flow inlet 1, and firstly reaches the filtration device 2. After the compressed air/nitrogen is filtered, the control system sends an inversion signal to the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5 respectively to cause the two moving coils to move inversely, so as to cut the air flow passing through the gap between the first moving coil 4 and the second moving coil 5 to generate a pulsating pressure wave and to finally form a sound wave to be emitted through the air flow outlet.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a control system of the pneumatic sounder of the present invention. The control system of the pneumatic sounder of the present invention includes: a feedback coil disposed on the double-moving coil assembly, used to generate a feedback signal when the double-moving coil assembly operates; a signal adjuster, used to receive the feedback signal sent by the feedback coil and adjust amplitude parameters of signals that are from a signal source and to be sent to the moving coils; and a phase adjuster, used to receive the feedback signal sent by the feedback coil and adjust phase parameters of the signals that are from the signal source and to be sent to the moving coils. The signals with the phase parameters adjusted by the phase adjuster are transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly. The signals with the amplitude parameters adjusted by the signal processor are transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly.

In one preferred embodiment, the control system further includes a power amplifier, used to perform amplification processing on the signals from the signal source and send the amplified signals to the double-moving coil assembly.

Referring to FIG. 2, the feedback signal of the feedback coil is transmitted to the signal adjuster and the phase adjuster via a feedback line respectively. In one embodiment, a signal resolver may be disposed in the feedback line. The signal resolver, for example, resolves the feedback signal as a signal including an amplitude parameter and a signal including a phase parameter, and transmits the two signals to the signal adjuster and the phase adjuster respectively, thereby enabling more accurate feedback processes and more reliable adjustment processes.

In one preferred embodiment, source signals sent from the signal source can firstly reach the phase adjuster for signal processing, next reach the signal adjuster for processing, then pass through the power amplifier for amplification processing, and finally be transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly. In another preferred embodiment, the source signals sent from the signal source can firstly reach the signal adjuster for processing, next reach the phase adjuster for signal processing, then pass through the power amplifier for amplification processing, and finally be transmitted to the double-moving coil assembly.

The implementations of the present invention are specifically described in detail above, but they are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that several variations and modifications can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the concept of the present invention, and that these variations and modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
