However, the technical scheme still has certain limitations, the monitored sound wave frequency band range is relatively narrow, weak acoustic signals cannot be monitored, and the intelligent standard of the voiceprint monitoring of the electrical equipment cannot be completely achieved.
A sound gathering device used in the voiceprint monitoring technology is a key component for the voiceprint monitoring, and the related art mostly focuses on the design and improvement of a mechanical structure of the sound gathering device, but the problem of large monitoring sound loss exists all the time, and the voiceprint monitoring effect of the electrical equipment is seriously affected.

In particular, a pattern array is set as a square annular shaped groove array, and the width and the depth of a corresponding groove are set to correspondingly adjust an inclination angle of a trumpet-shaped front end portion, so that the loss rate of the acquired sound wave is reduced and the reflectivity is increased.

As shown in
A sound wave frequency monitored by the sound gathering device is 50 Hz˜10 kHz, and a sound wave enters the sound gathering device from an entrance of the front end portion 1, is reflected through the pattern array of microstructures 3 on the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1, and is transmitted from an exit of the rear end portion 2, and a sound pressure of the exit of the rear end portion 2 is 4 times˜8 times a sound pressure of the entrance of the front end portion 1.
A front section of the front end portion 1 is the entrance of the sound wave, and a rear section of the front end portion 1 is the exit of the sound wave. After the sound wave is transmitted from the front end portion 1, the sound wave enters the rear end portion 2, and then enters the subsequent device for voiceprint monitoring from the rear end portion 2, thereby completing the acquisition of the weak acoustic signal of an electrical equipment.
In the related art, the sound gathering device has a relatively smooth surface, and cannot perform a directional regulation control on reflected sound waves. In the present application, the improvement of the sound gathering device is based on the idea of material surface micro-processing. The acoustic micro-structure size and morphology of an inner surface of the sound gathering device are regulated and controlled by the ultra-fast laser micro-nano processing technology. The micro-structure 3 presenting the pattern array is etched on the inner wall surface of the trumpet-shaped front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device, so that the regulation and control of the inner surface of the sound gathering device to the sound wave is increased, and meanwhile the directivity of the sound is enhanced.
In an embodiment, a material of the sound gathering device for voiceprint monitoring may be metal or plastic, and the front end portion 1 and the rear end portion 2 may be different materials, which are not limited here. A length of the front end portion 1 is set to be in a range of 5 cm to 30 cm, and a length of the rear end portion 2 is set to be in a range of 2 cm to 10 cm. The inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 is laser-etched into the pattern array of microstructures 3, and an inner wall surface of the rear end portion 2 is a relatively smooth surface, and a roughness of the inner wall surface of the rear end portion 2 is set to be 0.1 μm˜1 μm.
A size of the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device and a size of the rear end portion 2 of the sound gathering device are set, so that the sound wave is reflected on the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 and then is specularly reflected on the relatively smooth surface of the rear end portion 2 so as to achieve the acquisition and monitoring of weak acoustic signals of the electrical equipment, thereby not only extending the path of reflection of the sound wave without increasing a number of reflections, but also reducing the loss of the weak sound wave signals in an acquisition process through the sound gathering device. Meanwhile, the inner wall surface of the trumpet-shaped structure of the front end portion 1 is subjected to the machining of the microstructure, so that the machining is more convenient and faster, and meanwhile the machining precision may be ensured.
In an embodiment, as shown in
The square annular shaped groove array includes multiple square annular shaped grooves 4 arranged side by side, and the multiple square annular shaped grooves 4 have a same size.
A width range of each square annular shaped groove 4 is defined as 200 μm˜400 μm, and a spacing range between two adjacent square annular shaped grooves 4 is defined as 18 μm˜22 μm.
Each square annular shaped groove 4 includes a central groove 41 and at least two layers of edge steps 42, a depth of the central groove 41 is 40 μm˜50 μm, the depth of the central groove 41 is a vertical depth relative to the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1, a width of each layer of edge step of the at least two layers of edge steps 42 is 20 μm˜30 μm, the edge step 42 extends layer by layer from an edge line of the square annular shaped groove 4 towards a position of the central groove 41, and a layer-by-layer depth of the edge step 42 and a number of layers of the edge step 42 are not limited here. A number of layers of the edge step 42 shown in
A depth value of the central groove 41, a width value of the edge step 42, the number of layers of the edge step 42, and a depth value of each layer of the edge step 42 may be adaptively defined according to different monitored electrical equipments.
When the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 is provided as the square annular shaped groove array, the reflection path of the weak sound wave in the whole sound gathering device is extended by disposing the inner wall surface at a level of depth and shallow, and the edge step 42 disposed in the square annular shaped groove 4 may also function as a transition, thereby reducing the loss of the weak sound wave in the reflection process.
As shown in
Based on the width of each square annular shaped groove 4, the depth of the central groove 41 and the width of the edge step 42, and the inclination angle of the front end portion 1 is correspondingly set so as to increase the phase of the weak sound wave reflected by the square annular shaped groove 4, and thus increase the reflectivity of the acquired sound wave.
A relationship among the inclination angle of the front end portion 1, the depth of the central groove 41 of each square annular shaped groove 4 of the square annular shaped groove array, the width of the edge step 42, and the monitored sound wave parameter is as follows:
Where φ is a change phase of the sound wave reflected by the multiple square annular shaped grooves 4, ¢ is an additional phase of the sound wave incident on a surface of the square annular shaped groove, Δ(φ−ϕ) is a phase difference compared to a smooth inner wall surface, λ is a wavelength of the sound wave, l is the width of the each square annular shaped groove 4, d is a total width of a single edge step of the each square annular shaped groove 4, H is an absolute value of a difference between a reflection height of the sound wave and an incident height of the sound wave, h is the depth of the central groove 41, and α is the inclination angle of the front end portion 1.
It is also necessary to consider the problem of loss of the weak sound wave in increasing the reflectivity of the weak acoustic waves using the square annular shaped groove array.
In order to reduce the loss when the weak sound wave is reflected inside the sound gathering device, it is necessary to minimize a number of times for reflection of the weak sound wave. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the sound waves entering the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device from multiple directions are transmitted to the rear end portion 2 after the square annular shaped groove 4 has been reflected a small number of times, and then enter the sound wave monitoring and processing device of the rear section.
Based on the width of the square annular shaped groove, the depth of the central groove, and the width of the edge step, an inclination angle of the trumpet at the front end are correspondingly set, so that the phase of the sound wave reflected by the square annular shaped groove is increased, and further the reflectivity of the sound wave is increased. On the basis of increasing the reflectivity of the sound wave. For the purpose of reducing the loss of the sound wave, it is necessary to consider that the reflection angle of the sound wave passing through the surface of the square annular shaped groove is increased based on the values of the width of the square annular shaped groove 4, the depth of the central groove 41, and the width of the edge step 42 and in combination with the trumpet-shaped inclination angle of the front end portion 1, so that a number of times for reflection are reduced, and thus the loss of the weak sound wave in the acquisition and propagation of the sound gathering device is reduced.
The relationship among the inclination angle of the front end portion 1, the depth of the central groove 41 of each square annular shaped groove 4 of the square annular shaped groove array, the width of the edge step 42, and the monitored sound wave parameter also needs to satisfy the following conditions:
Where β is a reflection angle of the sound wave passing through a surface of the square annular shaped groove, γ is an incidence angle of the sound wave incident on a surface of the square annular shaped groove, x is a lateral coordinate value of the sound wave incident on a point in a surface of the square annular shaped groove,
is a derivative value of a change phase of the sound wave at a point where the lateral coordinate value is x and x, λ is a wavelength of the sound wave, l is the width of the square annular shaped groove 4, d is a total width of a single edge step of the square annular shaped groove 4, h is the depth of the central groove 41, and a is the inclination angle of the front end portion 1.
A relationship among the depth of the central groove 41, the width of each square annular shaped grooves 4, and the total width of the single edge step of each square annular shaped groove 4 is as follows:
In the formula, l is the width of each square annular shaped groove 4, d is a total width of a single edge step of the each square annular shaped groove 4, h is the depth of the central groove 41, and a is the inclination angle of the front end portion 1. In an embodiment, a value of the inclination angle of the front end portion 1 is 15°˜60°, and a value range of R is 0.1˜0.65.
In a case where the value range of the inclination angle of the front end portion 1 is set to comply with the relationship among the inclination angle of the front end portion 1, the depth of the central groove 41 of each square annular shaped groove 4 of the square annular shaped groove array, the width of the edge step 42 and the monitored sound wave parameter, the weak sound wave acquired by the sound gathering device is increased by about 15%˜25% in terms of reflectance and is decreased by about 15%˜25% in terms of the loss rate compared with the weak sound wave acquired by the smooth inner wall surface, in particular, the sound wave for a specific frequency range.
Meanwhile, as shown in
The front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device has a trumpet-shaped structure, the conventional processing method cannot be deeply processed, and the customization degree is relatively low. According to the present application, an ultra-fast laser processing method is used for the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device, so that a pattern array of microstructures 3 is formed, the laser processing accuracy is high, and moreover, the customized processing of the complex pattern on the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device can be achieved, and it is suitable for the weak sound wave monitoring and diagnosis of the electrical equipment in different scenes.
In an embodiment, that the path that the laser beam travels is planned includes that: a scan manner is set to be in a grid shape in the laser, and path node information that the beam travels in a scan processing process is input. A position for selecting the path node information is not limited, and may be set according to shapes of different pattern array, and moreover, a number of times that the laser beam travels is not limited, whereby it is ensured that a complete customized pattern array with high precision may be obtained.
A gap between parallel lines is set to be 18 μm˜22 μm in a laser scan, and a laser spot diameter is set to be in a range of 13 μm to 17 μm. A value of the gap between parallel lines and a value of the laser spot diameter selected here are mainly determined based on the overall shape of the pattern array of microstructures 3 and the numerical range of the depth and width. The numerical value is also not limited, and the value of the gap between the parallel lines in a particular laser scan and the laser spot diameter may be defined according to the weak sound wave characteristics of the monitored electrical equipment.
In an embodiment, that the parameter value of the laser is set includes that: the laser pulse width is set to be 0.001 fs˜1 fs, the laser wavelength is set to be 355 nm˜ 1064 nm, the power range is set to be 50 mW˜15 W, and the scan speed is set to be 200 mm/s˜800 mm/s.
Parameters of the laser power of the laser are defined and the pattern array of microstructures 3 on the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device is adapted, so that the processing depth and width of the material of the inner wall surface may be adjusted and controlled, and further the pattern array of microstructures in a corresponding scene may be prepared.
In an embodiment, as shown in
A range of the scan galvanometer is defined as the transverse direction (X-axis direction) and the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the whole laser focusing plane, that is, the range of the scan galvanometer is not less than 100×100 mm. In general, the transverse and longitudinal sizes of the scan galvanometer are the same. The focus range of the F-Theta lens defines the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) of the whole laser focusing plane, that is, a numerical value of a focal point of the F-Theta lens in a vertical direction of the F-Theta lens is not less than 30 mm.
A numerical value of the beam expansion multiple of the beam expansion mirror for focusing of laser-emitted beam, a numerical value of the range of the scan galvanometer and a numerical value of the focus range of the F-Theta lens are all related to a process of processing the pattern array on the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 of the sound gathering device. Within the numerical range, the precision and the efficiency of processing the pattern array of microstructures on the inner wall surface can be ensured. The numerical value is not particularly limited, and may be adjusted according to a value of the size of the pattern array to be applied. The scan galvanometer and the F-Theta lens are combined to achieve the scan processing of a high-freedom three-dimensional space, and the processing method is suitable for processing the pattern array of microstructures 3 on the inner wall surface of the trumpet-shaped sound gathering device.
In an embodiment, the laser beam is focused in a positive defocus, and a defocus amount is 1 μm˜5 μm.
The defocus amount is the spacing between the laser beam and the inner wall surface of the front end portion 1 of the sound focusing device, and an appropriate defocusing amount is provided, so that the accuracy of the laser processing can be ensured. If the defocusing amount is too small, the laser may cause serious damage to the inner wall surface, so that the surface is rough, the machining precision of the pattern array cannot be ensured, and the square annular shaped groove 4 may be tapered. Since the defocusing amount is too large, the energy of the laser cannot be sufficiently transmitted to the inner wall surface and cannot be processed to form the microstructure 3 in accordance with the expected pattern array.
