Description

Linear position sensor with equalizing means
The present invention generally speaking relates to and a kind ofly is determined in the cylinder body or the device of cylinder barrel inner carrier and piston rod position, more particularly relates to a kind of device that adopts radio frequency (RF) signal measuring piston position.
In the field of hydraulic cylinder, people have proposed all systems of surveying and show the displacement of hydraulic cylinder parts or utilize the displacement of hydraulic cylinder parts to control with electric approach.Traditional sensor has many important disadvantages, in part because traditional sensor installation difficulty is big and the residing environmental baseline of sensor is relatively harsher.The used sensor of hydraulic system is because relatively poor easier the suffering damage of working environment in weight equipment industry.Hydraulic cylinder all be arranged on usually be protected fewer local and be subjected to such as high g power, bigger difference variation, dust, water, the influence of chip etc., these adverse environments probably cause the fault of electric and mechanical aspects.
For providing a kind of approach of suitable sensor, heavy equipment manufacturing industry is to use radiofrequency signal.Authorized on April 12nd, 1988 in people's such as Bitar the United States Patent (USP) 4,737,705 and disclosed a kind of like this system.People's such as Bitar system sends into a coaxial resonator of being made up of hydraulic cylinder to a slope radiofrequency signal.When the resonance frequency of hydraulic cylinder sends, the received signal of receiving antenna reaches peak value, and the linear extension length of this resonance frequency and hydraulic cylinder has corresponding relation one by one, therefore, by measuring the resonance frequency of hydraulic cylinder, just can measure the development length of hydraulic cylinder.The peak value of the signal that is received is by being detected with a threshold.Then, resonance frequency is to determine with the difference of adjusting between threshold value and the true peak by the frequency that records of revising the signal of being launched.This adjusting has brought error to the mensuration of position because transmit and actual resonance frequency between difference be resonance frequency along with hydraulic cylinder, the difference of the degree of accuracy of threshold value and hydraulic cylinder size and dimension and different.
The frequency of the signal that is sent is to measure by some round-robin cycle of measuring the signal that is sent.When reaching threshold value, people's such as Bitar system just makes this frequency keep constant.This has also increased the possibility that produces error, because the development length of hydraulic cylinder might change, thereby has also changed the resonance frequency in chamber.In addition, error also may be caused by the noise of system and the frequency drift of signal transmitter.
And the fabrication tolerance of the electric component of sensor also may cause error.For example, received signal and threshold value all have only tens millivolts usually, and the variation of the fabrication tolerance of electric component may cause the difference or the error of hundreds of millivolt, the false triggering the when noise that these variations are caused and the noise in other sources all may cause resonance frequency to detect.
