It was attempted to develop an auto part by over molding injection mold that produces precision products in high productivity with use of an eco-friendly TPE substitute material for NBR. NBR is currently used in motor gear cover, one of the key parts in motor module for auto doors. Gear cover is composed of plastics and rubber mostly today, which requires a two (2) step process for production using two presses of different types. A hot press is used at this time for forming the rubber, which has drawback of requiring a rather long forming time of 400 seconds for one forming process. Even though this difficulty is overcome by reducing production time through employment of multi-cavity molds, time for forming process must be shortened for improvement of the productivity eventually, and the existing method of insert injection for products that have been formed with plastic material must be outgrown. In this point of view, over molding injection using TPE has a big advantage. Forming time is shortened to 54 seconds, and working the two (2) processes in series by one (1) press could solve the durability problem caused by deflection of the plastics, not to mention shortening the process time. Enhancement of productivity by almost 80% and improvement in the accuracy of the product could thus be achieved.

In this study, we have developed a 3-dimensional diagnostic ultrasonic sector probe using a convex type ultrasonic probe with 128 active elements. The probe was made to operate at the center frequency of 4.5㎒ with the bandwidth of 66%. The driving part was designed to rotate the axis of the convex probe by means of a step motor equipped with reduction gears and spur gears attached to the motor so that the probe could enable us to acquire a series of 2-dimensional images to construct a 3-dimensional image. Acoustic cover of the probe was made of polymers to have the same radius of rotation as that of the convex probe. The controllability of the rotation angle and the structural stability of the probe were confirmed through experimental 3-dimensional images obtained using the developed 3-dimensional sector probe.

본 연구에서는 128개의 능동소자로 구성된 convex형 초음파 탐촉자를 회전시켜 3차원 입체영상을 구현 할 수 있도록 하는 구동부를 설계 및 제작하여, 3차원 입체 영상 진단용 초음파 섹터 트랜스듀서를 개발하였다. 탐촉자는 중심주파수 4.5Mhz, 대역폭 $66\%$로 제작되었으며, 구동부는 탐촉자의 축을 스텝모터와 평기어를 이용해 회전시킴으로써 3차원 입체영상을 획득할 수 있게 고안하였다. 그리고 피부와 유사한 고분자재료를 사용하여 탐촉자의 회전반경과 동일하게 음향커버를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 초음파 섹터 트랜스듀서는 정밀한 각도 제어 및 구조적 안정성이 확보되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다.
