Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019057375A1] The invention relates to a sound transducer (1), in particular for an ultrasound sensor, having a housing (5), at least one decoupling element (9a), and a functional group (2). The functional group (2) has a diaphragm cup (7) and at least one electroacoustic converter element (3). The diaphragm cup (7) comprises a diaphragm (8) which is capable of vibrating, a surrounding wall (6), and at least one electroacoustic converter element (3), said converter element (3) being designed to excite the diaphragm (8) so as to vibrate and/or convert vibrations of the diaphragm (8) into electric signals. The diaphragm cup (7) and at least one part of the housing (5) are made of a plastic material. The decoupling element (9a) is designed to decouple the diaphragm cup (7) and/or the at least one part of the housing (5) from an outer surrounding area of the sound transducer (1) in terms of mechanical vibrations. According to the invention, the decoupling element (9a) is integrated into the diaphragm cup (7), in particular into the wall (6) of the diaphragm cup (7) and/or into the at least one part of the housing (5).
