Description

Technical Field

Background
Angular motion is one of the most basic forms of motion in nature and is widely present in the objective world. Angular acceleration is a key parameter for describing angular motion, and in the field of low-frequency vibration, accurate measurement of angular acceleration has important significance in the fields of seismic monitoring, engineering detection, navigation positioning system application and the like.
The electrochemical angular acceleration sensor is a sensor for converting an external angular acceleration signal into an electric signal, a sensitive element of the sensor is of a four-electrode structure, the sensor is immersed in a mixed solution of iodine and potassium iodide, the solution is sealed in an annular hollow tube, and the four electrodes are arranged according to the sequence of anode-cathode-anode. In operation, a small voltage difference is applied between the anode and the cathode, redox reactions occur between the cathode and the anode surface, and a stable ion concentration gradient is formed between the cathode and the anode. When the cathode is static, the concentrations of the reactive ions on the surfaces of the two cathodes are equal, and the output currents are the same. When an external angular acceleration exists, the electrolyte and the sensitive electrode move relatively, so that the concentrations of the reactive ions on the surfaces of the two cathodes are not equal any more, and the output currents of the two cathodes are influenced. Finally, the voltage signals obtained by current-voltage conversion and difference of the output current signals of the two cathodes are in direct proportion to the input angular acceleration signals.
The sensitive electrode of the traditional electrochemical angular acceleration sensor is made of a woven platinum mesh by a ceramic sintering technology, and the manufacturing process is complex and poor in consistency. Therefore, the process has high cost and poor mass production capacity, and the wide application of the electrochemical angular acceleration sensor is limited. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional process, in recent years, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) technology is used to fabricate the sensitive electrode of the electrochemical angular acceleration sensor. At present, an MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) electrochemical angular acceleration sensor based on a planar electrode is simple in process, but the sensitivity of the sensor is low due to the fact that a sensitive electrode is of a planar structure and the area of the electrode is limited. (planar electrode-related patent acceptance number: 202010329618.8).
