Description

Inclination angle sensor and detection method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a tilt angle sensor and a detection method thereof.
Background
Tilt sensors, also known as inclinometers, gradienters, inclinometers, are often used for the measurement of horizontal angular changes of systems, gradienters ranging from simple bubble gradienters of the past to electronic gradienters of today as a result of the development of automation and electronic measurement techniques.
With the continuous development of production and science, angle measurement is more and more widely applied to various fields such as industrial scientific research and the like, and with the continuous improvement of technical level and measurement accuracy. The demand of the market for sensors is also increasing, and for example, tilt sensors are not many, but they are not produced autonomously in China, and are used to measure the tilt variation relative to the horizontal plane by definition, in other words, they are actually acceleration sensors using the principle of inertia. The sensor can be divided into three tilt sensors of a solid pendulum type, a liquid pendulum type and a gas pendulum type in the aspect of a single working principle.
The classification of inclination sensor installation axle number can be divided into two kinds of unipolar and biax from inclination sensor's classification, what angle can be measured respectively to unipolar and biax, unipolar inclination sensor can only survey the angle change that produces around an axle, the biax can survey relative and two axle angle changes, inclination sensor that we said can horizontal installation and perpendicular installation, the mode according to the installation is different, unipolar and biax inclination sensor measuring angle also is different, the biax can measure upset and angle of pitch, and the unipolar can only survey flip angle or angle of pitch when selecting horizontal installation, if the unipolar can only survey flip angle when selecting perpendicular installation, the angle of pitch is not optional, unipolar inclination sensor is many in the existing market, and resolution ratio is higher.
From the tilt sensor output mode classification, can divide into: analog quantity output and digital quantity output. The analog quantity signal output type is to output different analog quantity signals according to the change of the inclination angle. The digital quantity output type is to convert the value of the inclination angle into digital quantity and output a digital quantity signal through a communication port, and the common communication port types include CAN Open, a serial port RS232, RS485 and the like. In a specific application, the angle value must correspond to a specific detection quantity regardless of the analog quantity output type or the digital quantity output type. Such as: the flatness of the surface is detected, firstly, the sensor needs to be installed on a specific plane, and certain errors exist between the physical zero position of an object and the zero position of the sensor, so that the calibration needs to be carried out again in the practical application process. Therefore, certain difficulty is caused to practical application, and particularly when the sensor is in failure and needs to be replaced by a new sensor, the calibration needs to be carried out again, so that great inconvenience is brought to use.
Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art to provide a tilt sensor that is convenient and fast to calibrate.
