Make Cr1 that connect with the Cr3 electric capacity ( being the electric capacity between lead-out terminal 19 and the lead-out terminal 23 ) of output is Cr5; the Cr2 electric capacity of exporting ( being the electric capacity between lead-out terminal 17 and the lead-out terminal 21 ) of connecting with Cr4 is Cr6.The electric capacity ( being the electric capacity between lead-out terminal 18 and the lead-out terminal 24 ) that makes upper end cover pole plate acceleration analysis sub-electrode 2b1 and 2b2 and mass top crown acceleration analysis sub-electrode 3b1 and 3b2 form is C1; and the electric capacity ( being the electric capacity between lead-out terminal 22 and the lead-out terminal 24 ) that bottom end cover pole plate acceleration analysis sub-electrode 2b ' 1 and 2b ' 2 and mass bottom crown acceleration analysis sub-electrode 3b ' 1 and 3b ' 2 form is C2.The useful area that makes upper end cover pole plate angular acceleration measure between sub-electrode 2a2 and 2c1 and mass top crown angular acceleration measurement sub-electrode 3a1 and the 3a2 is Sr1; the useful area that upper end cover pole plate angular acceleration is measured between sub-electrode 2a1 and 2c2 and mass top crown angular acceleration measurement sub-electrode 3a1 and the 3a2 is Sr2; the useful area that bottom end cover pole plate angular acceleration is measured sub-electrode 2a ' 2 and 2c ' 1 and mass bottom crown angular acceleration measurement sub-electrode 3a ' 1 and 3a ' 2 is Sr3; the useful area that bottom end cover pole plate angular acceleration is measured sub-electrode 2a ' 1 and 2c ' 2 and mass bottom crown angular acceleration measurement sub-electrode 3a ' 1 and 3a ' 2 is Sr4; the useful area of upper end cover pole plate acceleration analysis sub-electrode 2b1 and 2b2 and mass top crown acceleration analysis sub-electrode 3b1 and 3b2 is S1; the useful area of bottom end cover pole plate acceleration analysis sub-electrode 2b ' 1 and 2b ' 2 and mass bottom crown acceleration analysis sub-electrode 3b ' 1 and 3b ' 2 is S2; distance between upper end cover pole plate 2 and the mass top crown 3 is d1, and the distance between bottom end cover pole plate 15 and the mass bottom crown 14 is d2.
According to described assembling, under any circumstance, all satisfy: Sr1=Sr3, Sr2=Sr4, S1=S2.
For capacity plate antenna, capacitance is directly proportional with useful area, and distance is inversely proportional between flat board, makes its expression formula be
Wherein p is a constant.Then
Under no acceleration situation, Sr1=Sr2, d1=d2.At this moment, C1=C2, Cr5=Cr6.
When this accelerometer was subjected to longitudinal acceleration, relative displacement Δ d can take place, thereby cause d1, d2 to be changed to d1+ Δ d, d2-Δ d respectively under the effect of inertial force in mass 8 with cylinder 9, upper end cover 1, bottom end cover 16.Be the variation equal and opposite in direction of d1 and d2, direction is opposite.Corresponding capacitor C 1, the variation of C2 be equal and opposite in direction also, and direction is opposite, thereby forms difference structure, by measuring the value of C1 and C2, can obtain the longitudinal acceleration value.By analysis as can be known, when acceleration made progress, C1 reduced, and C2 increases; When acceleration was downward, C1 increased, and C2 reduces, their variable quantity equal and opposite in directions, and direction is opposite.At this moment, Sr1, Sr 2, Sr 3, Sr 4 no changes, the distance between upper end cover pole plate 2 and the bottom end cover pole plate 15 does not change, and therefore, Cr5 and Cr6 do not change
When this accelerometer is subjected to the longitudinal angle acceleration, mass 8 is under the effect of inertial force, can produce relative rotation with cylinder and end cap, thereby cause Sr1 and Sr3 to be changed to Sr1+ Δ S, Sr3-Δ S respectively, wherein Δ S is the useful area variable quantity of rotation generation, at this moment, Sr1 and Sr3 variable quantity equal and opposite in direction, direction is opposite.Therefore, corresponding Cr5 and the variable quantity of Cr6 be equal and opposite in direction also, and direction is opposite, thereby forms difference structure.By measuring the value of Cr5 and Cr6, can obtain the longitudinal angle accekeration.By analysis as can be known, when angular acceleration made progress, Cr5 increased, and Cr6 reduces; When angular acceleration was downward, Cr5 reduced, and Cr6 increases.At this moment, d1, d2 do not change, when angular acceleration in range, useful area S1, S2 do not change yet, promptly C1, C2 do not change.
By above analysis as can be known: when longitudinal acceleration, the capacitor C 2 between capacitor C 1 between second lead-out terminal 18 and the 8th lead-out terminal 24 and the 6th lead-out terminal 22 and the 8th lead-out terminal 24 changes, equal and opposite in direction, and direction is opposite.When the longitudinal angle acceleration, the capacitor C r6 between the capacitor C r5 between the 3rd lead-out terminal 19 and the 7th lead-out terminal 23 and first lead-out terminal 17 and the 5th lead-out terminal 21 changes, equal and opposite in direction, and direction is opposite.Because the variation of the difference of the variation of the difference of C1 and C2 and Cr5 and Cr6 is separate, so, can measure longitudinal acceleration and longitudinal angle acceleration simultaneously and do not have coupling phenomenon.
