Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN CIRCUITO EXCITADOR/DETECTOR DE SEÑALES ULTRASONICAS, EL CUAL SE PUEDE ADAPTAR PARA QUE REALICE UNA SERIE DE FUNCIONES DE APRIETE DE UN FIJADOR DE MANERA AUTOMATICA O MANUAL. ESTE CIRCUITO FUNCIONA PARA MEDIR LA TENSION DE UN FIJADOR (49) COMO UNA FUNCION DE CAMBIO DEL TIEMPO DE VUELO DE UNA ONDA ULTRASONICA. UN MICROCONTROLADOR (3) DIRIGE EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LOS COMPONENTES DEL CIRCUITO PARA GENERAR IMPULSOS EXCITADORES DE GRAN AMPLITUD Y ALTA FRECUENCIA DE REPETICION, PUDIENDOSE AJUSTAR ESTAS FUNCIONES DE AMPLITUD Y FRECUENCIA DE REPETICION DE MANERA ELECTRONICA PARA COMPENSAR LA HERRAMIENTA FIJADORA, LAS PROPIEDADES ACUSTICAS DEL FIJADOR Y EL GRADO DE TENSION. UN CIRCUITO TEMPORIZADOR CONTROLADO POR UN SOFTWARE (63) CALCULA, CALIBRA Y AJUSTA EL ANCHO DE LA VENTANA Y EL LUGAR CENTRAL POR DETECCION DEL ECO DE IMPULSOS Y TAMBIEN EL UMBRAL DE DETECCION POR ECOS OPTIMO. ESTE CIRCUITO HA SIDO COLOCADO MEDIANTE UNA TECNICA DIGITAL PARA MEDIR EL TIEMPO DEL IMPULSO DE VUELO E INCORPORA UNA INTERPOLACION ANALOGICA DE DATOS ENTRE CALCULOS DIGITALES. LA FRECUENCIA DE MUESTREO DE LOS IMPULSOS DE ECO SE AJUSTAN A LA VELOCIDAD DE LA HERRAMIENTA. SE IMPLEMENTA ANTERIORMENTE UNA TECNICA DE AUTOCALIBRACION A CADA FUNCION DE APRIETE DEL FIJADOR PARA SUPERAR LOS ERRORES DEL CIRCUITO Y ESTABLECER LA POSICION DE LA VENTANA DE DETECCION PARA MEJORAR LA TENSION DEL IMPULSO Y LOS NIVELES DE DETECCION DEL UMBRAL DEL ECO. EL TIEMPO DE LOS DATOS DE VUELO SE CALCULA DE MANERA SELECTIVA DESDE EL IMPULSO ULTRASONICO INICIAL AL ECO PRIMARIO O REFLECCIONES SUCESIVAS DEL MISMO.
