Ferroelectric ceramic particles such as lead zirconia titanate and lead titanate are incorporated into piezoelectric organic materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and nylon, or organic materials such as synthetic rubber and synthetic resin. Organic piezoelectric materials, such as piezoelectric organic ceramic composites, have a characteristic that their acoustic impedance approximates the acoustic impedance of water, compared to general sintered piezoelectric ceramic materials. When used as a piezoelectric transducer, it has the advantage of efficiently receiving acoustic waves propagating in water and increasing sensitivity.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, a coaxial piezoelectric cable is formed by arranging the organic piezoelectric layer a around the center conducting wire b, and arranging a conductive material c such as conductive paint around the outer periphery of the piezoelectric material. However, there is a coaxial type piezoelectric cable which is immersed in water and receives an acoustic wave propagating in the water by extracting an output signal from between the center conducting wire b and the conductive material c.

By the way, since the piezoelectric cable having the above structure is flexible, it bends due to pressure other than acoustic waves, such as flowing water, ripples, and other external forces, and therefore bending stress acts on the piezoelectric layer a, causing charge to be released. This has the disadvantage that it becomes a noise signal and is superimposed on the acoustic wave, reducing the S/N ratio.

The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional structure, and includes an inner piezoelectric layer and an outer piezoelectric layer made of an organic piezoelectric material, which are provided concentrically with a sound insulating layer in between, and a positive electrode of the piezoelectric inner layer. The negative electrode of the piezoelectric outer layer and the negative electrode of the piezoelectric inner layer are respectively electrically connected to the positive electrode of the piezoelectric outer layer, and output signals are taken out from both poles of the piezoelectric outer layer. When the piezoelectric cable is bent by external pressure, the piezoelectric Electric charges generated in the outer layer and the inner piezoelectric layer are canceled out by their respective electrical connections, and the influence of acoustic waves is prevented from affecting the inner piezoelectric layer by a sound insulating layer, so that the output corresponding to the acoustic waves is transmitted from the outer piezoelectric layer. It is designed so that it can be taken out.

To explain the operation of the embodiment, when the piezoelectric cable is bent due to undulation or the like, bending stress is applied to the piezoelectric inner layer 2 and the piezoelectric outer layer 8, and charges are generated in each of them. By the way, the amount of charge generated in the piezoelectric inner layer 2 and the piezoelectric outer layer 8 due to the bending is almost the same, and as described above, the positive electrode of the piezoelectric inner layer 2 and the negative electrode of the piezoelectric outer layer 8 are connected to each other by the lead wire 11. Furthermore, since the negative electrode of the piezoelectric inner layer 2 and the positive electrode of the piezoelectric outer layer 8 are electrically connected by the lead wire 13, they cancel each other out, and the ripples appear between the output terminals 12 and 14. No potential difference occurs due to external stress such as. On the other hand, the effect of making an acoustic wave acts on the piezoelectric outer layer 8 from the entire outer circumference of the cable, but it is buffered by the sound insulating layer 5 and the piezoelectric inner layer 8 is
It has no effect on . Therefore, a charge is generated only in the piezoelectric outer layer 8 due to the acoustic wave, and as a result, as described above, the generation of potential due to external stress such as ripples is eliminated, so that the electric charge between the terminals 12 and 14 corresponds to the acoustic wave. Only electrical signals are extracted. Therefore, only acoustic waves can be received without being affected by the curvature.
