All falling within the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is an overall schematic diagram of a free piston internal combustion linear generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the free piston internal combustion linear generator with displacement detection provided by the present invention includes a linear motor housing 7, a combustion chamber 11, a free piston 14, a scavenging pump 5, and an eddy current sensor 17;
the free piston 14 is arranged between the combustion chamber 11 and the scavenging pump 5, is arranged in the linear motor shell 7, and can reciprocate left and right between the combustion chamber 11 and the scavenging pump 5;
a plurality of grooves 18 which are arranged at equal intervals in equal periods are arranged on the shaft of the free piston 14;
an eddy current sensor 17 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the linear motor shell 7, and the eddy current sensor 17 is used for detecting an electric signal generated by the movement change of the groove 18 so as to realize the displacement detection of the free piston 14.
In the present embodiment, the free piston 14 has a plurality of rows of grooves 18 engraved on its axis at regular intervals; each row of grooves 18 has a preset displacement difference therebetween.
The number of the eddy current sensors 17 is multiple; each eddy current sensor 17 corresponds to a row of grooves 18 for detecting an electrical signal generated by a change in the movement of the row of grooves 18.
Fig. 2 is an overall schematic view of a displacement detecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, four eddy current sensors 17 are sequentially installed at 90 ° intervals on the same plane perpendicular to the generator axis.
The probes of the eddy current sensors 17 are aligned perpendicularly to the axis of the free piston 14, and each of the eddy current sensors 17 is equidistant from the axis.
The displacement difference is one quarter of a period, which is the distance between adjacent grooves 18 and the length of one groove 18 in the axial direction.
In the present embodiment, the width of the groove 18 is larger than the probe diameter of the eddy current sensor 17. The width of the groove 18 is set to be 2.4 mm; the length of each period is 4.8 mm.
In the embodiment of the invention, the free piston internal combustion linear generator with displacement detection further comprises a linear encoder;

The displacement of free piston 14 may be further determined by interpolating piston position values based on the velocity and acceleration of free piston 14.
When the free piston internal combustion linear generator with displacement detection is provided by the invention, high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by fuel combustion in the combustion chamber 11 pushes the free piston 14 to reciprocate left and right between the combustion chamber 11 and the scavenging pump 5, when the groove 18 on the shaft of the free piston 14 moves right below the eddy current sensor 17, the impedance of a coil on a probe in the eddy current sensor 17 changes to generate a signal, the linear encoder 16 converts the signal into an electric signal and outputs low level, when the signal does not pass through the groove 18, the high level is output, then the electric signal is converted between the high level and the low level, one cycle is calculated by one high level and one low level, and the displacement of the piston can be calculated according to the cycle times. The amount of displacement for less than one cycle is calculated in combination with the electrical signals output by the four encoders 16.

Less than one cycle is judged according to the electric signals obtained by the four sensors, for example, the electric signals obtained by the four sensors of the ABCD are 1000, which represents that the displacement is 0.6mm, and the electric signals obtained by the four sensors of the ABCD are respectively 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3.0, 3.6 and 4.2mm in the same way of 1100, 1110, 1111, 0111, 0011 and 0001.
