Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/017842
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an ultrasonic transducer comprising: a rotational member rotated by receiving driving force, and including a thrust device; a connection member connected to the rotational member so as to move along a pendulum movement trajectory by receiving the thrust caused by the thrust device of the rotational member; and an array connected with the connection member so as to be rotated at a predetermined angle by receiving the thrust caused by the movement of the connection member. In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotational member comprises an insertion pin coupled with the connection member, the connection member has a guide groove for accommodating the insertion pin, and the length of the guide groove is greater than the diameter of the insertion pin. The array preferably comprises a restrictive member for restricting left and right movements of the connection member. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for driving the ultrasonic transducer, performed by the ultrasonic transducer.
