The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038208A1) describes an ultrasonic sensor designed to be mounted on a vehicle by attaching it to an outer plate. The sensor includes a magnetic substance, an electromagnetic transducer, and a diaphragm that can ultrasonically oscillate. The magnetic substance and the electromagnetic transducer are positioned in a way that generates ultrasonic oscillation in the diaphragm, creating an internal space that expands and contracts in response to the oscillation. Additionally, a space holding member can be included in the internal space to deform along the axial direction in response to the diaphragm's vibration.

Furthermore, the ultrasonic sensor can have various configurations, such as the diaphragm being joined to the outer plate via an adhesive layer, the inclusion of a drive control unit to manage power application to the electromagnetic transducer, and an abnormality detection unit to identify issues with the diaphragm. The sensor's design allows for precise ultrasonic oscillation and detection, making it suitable for use in vehicles for various applications where ultrasonic sensing is required. The patent application outlines specific dimensions and arrangements of the components to optimize the sensor's performance, ensuring accurate and reliable operation in different conditions.
