Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasonic transducer and a transducer holder for preventing the transmission of housing waves has a decoupling ring between a housing flange of a transducer housing and a holder flange of the transducer holder. Preferably, there is a gasket between the housing flange of the transducer housing and the decoupling ring in addition to a gasket between the decoupling ring and the holder flange of the transducer holder.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A unit, comprising: an ultrasonic transducer and a transducer holder, the ultrasonic transducer having a transducer housing and a transducer element, the transducer housing having an ultrasound window, a housing tube and a housing flange, the transducer element being made for sending or receiving ultrasonic waves and being provided either near the ultrasound window of the transducer housing or away from the ultrasound window of the transducer housing, the transducer holder having a holder flange, wherein in the housing flange of the transducer housing is tensioned against the holder flange of the transducer holder, wherein a decoupling ring is located between the housing flange of the transducer housing and the holder flange of the transducer holder and wherein a gasket is located between the decoupling ring and the holder flange of the transducer holder. 2. The unit in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the decoupling ring is indirectly connected to the housing flange of the transducer housing. 3. The unit in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the indirect connection of the decoupling ring to the housing flange of the transducer housing comprises a slide ring that is joined to the decoupling ring by a fixed connection. 4. The unit in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the fixed connection is one of a welded connection and a screw connection.
