ULTRASOUND PROBE WITH AN ACOUSTICAL LENS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G10K11/30 

FIELD: control equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for ultrasound inspection of materials by means of improved ultrasound probe. This invention consists in the fact that ultrasound probe comprises ultrasound transducer, including emission surface for generating ultrasound waves, and acoustical lens with first part having inner surface facing the emission surface, wherein the inner surface comprises a plurality of protrusions and/or recesses for scattering reflections of ultrasound waves and insulation layer covering at least part of the inner surface.

EFFECT: technical result is the possibility to provide ultrasound probe with robust solid body acoustical lens, wherein reflections of ultrasound waves arising from reflecting surface within the acoustical lens are greatly reduced.
