Abstract

This invention relates to an electronic sundial compass and a measurement method using the compass, which utilizes the shadow projected by the sun to accurately measure and indicate the direction or the position. The compass apparatus includes a housing, a locating needle, a sundial needle, a sensor and a circuit apparatus, wherein the sundial needle is a straight needle-like object and is fixed at the rotating axle center of the locating needle, and is perpendicular to the plane in which the locating needle rotates. The sensor is fixed on the housing. When the locating needle rotates until it coincides with the sun shadow of the sundial needle, the measurement angle value of the measured object is detected, and the above measurement value is compared with an inherent sun shadow angle by the circuit apparatus installed inside the compass apparatus, and the difference information is outputted through a display apparatus, and the azimuth angle of the measured object is displayed. The measurement method adopts the above apparatus to carry out the measurement. The invention uses the sun shadow to determine the azimuth angle of the measured object, so that the azimuth angle as determined is highly precise, eliminating geomagnetic interference. The electronic measurement adopts an electronic way to ensure a quick computation and allow an easy reading of the azimuth information more conveniently.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compass, and more particularly to an electronic sundial compass that utilizes the shadow of the sun projection 5 to accurately measure and display the direction or position and a method of measuring using the compass. [Prior Art 1 Background of the Invention In many fields, such as construction, decoration, navigation, military, etc., it is necessary to accurately determine the direction. In general, magnetic fields are used in the above fields to determine the direction, such as a magnetic compass. The magnetic compass utilizes the nature of the Earth's own magnetic south and magnetic north poles, indicating the direction through a rotatable device with an indicator. In practical applications, the Earth's magnetic field near the magnetic compass may be disturbed by other magnetic fields or nearby iron-containing metals, so effective magnetic field compensation is necessary to obtain accurate orientation. The KMZ52 semiconductor device manufactured by PHILIPS is a two-dimensional magnetic field sensor specifically used for electronic magnetic compasses. It uses magnetoresistive (MR) technology and uses flipping technology to eliminate signal offset. In the prior art, there is an electronic compass using such a sensor 5, for example, the circuit of A in the fourth phase of the "Electronics World" is used to compensate the accuracy of the earth magnetic field and the characteristic of the sensor KMZ52 itself. Accurate electronic compass. Another device for measuring the direction is a gyrocompass, which measures the component of the angular velocity of the earth in different directions based on the principle of the speed gyro. The method of calculating the angular velocity of the earth is used to determine the orientation of the meridian, or the gyroscopic moment generated by the rotation of the ball at 200909776. Under the gyro rotor, the axial meridian is approached, and swings around the meridian to determine the north direction. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Summary Whether using magnetic yoke or using an electronic compass to measure direction, the accuracy of the measurement is affected by the nature of the earth's magnetic field itself and indeed the presence of other magnetic fields and iron-containing metals. At the same time, there is a certain angular deviation between the earth's magnetic pole and the real square. Even if the circuit is compensated, the accuracy is still not satisfactory, and a new influence on the accuracy factor may be introduced due to the electrical characteristics of the measuring device itself 10. The device using the gyro compass has a complicated structure, high cost, and speed deviation. There is therefore a need for an apparatus and method that is capable of accurately determining the direction of geomagnetism. The invention provides a compass device, comprising a casing, a positioning pin, a boring pin, a sensor and a circuit device, wherein the corona needle is a straight needle fixed to the rotation axis of the positioning pin, perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the positioning pin The sensor is fixed on the outer casing, and when the positioning pin rotates to coincide with the sundial needle shadow, the measured angle value of the measured object is sensed, and the circuit device disposed inside the compass device performs the above measured value and the inherent sunshade angle. Compare and output the difference information through the display device to display the azimuth of the measured object. In another aspect of the invention, the compass device further includes a rotating disk, wherein a center of the positioning pin is coaxial with a center of the rotating disk, and a positional relationship between the positioning pin and the rotating disk is kept fixed, the sensor It includes two parts, a light source and a photosensitive element. The present invention also provides a compass device, comprising: a housing, a positioning pin, a 6 200909776 boring needle, a reference disk and an inherent shadow angle calculating device, wherein the boring needle is a straight needle, fixed to the rotation axis of the positioning pin, Vertically perpendicular to the plane in which the positioning pin rotates, the reference disk has an angle information of 1-360 degrees, which can be rotated coaxially with the positioning pin, and senses the measuring angle of the object to be measured when the positioning pin rotates to coincide with the sundial needle shadow. The value is compared with the inherent shadow angle to calculate the azimuth of the measured object. The present invention also provides a method of measuring a position using a compass device, comprising the steps of: placing a 10 compass device including a housing, a positioning pin, a sundial needle, a sensor, and a circuit device under sunlight, and placing a straight needle The violent needle is fixed to the rotation axis of the positioning pin, perpendicular to the plane in which the positioning pin rotates, and rotates the positioning pin to turn the object to be measured, and rotates the positioning pin again to coincide with the day shadow of the needle, and The angle information of the difference between the measured object and the inherent shadow angle is output by the sensor, and the azimuth angle of the measured object 15 is displayed by using the circuit device. The northern part of the Earth's axis is called Zhenbei, and the true north is different from the magnetic north of geomagnetism. Since the measured orientation of the present invention is the orientation and angle brought by the north-south direction of the earth's axis, and is not the azimuth and angle brought by the geomagnetism, the direction of the invention is the true north direction, which is the earth's body. The true 20 orientation inside. The invention can utilize the shadow of the sun to determine the azimuth angle of the measured object, and the determined azimuth accuracy is high, and the interference of the geomagnetism is eliminated, and the electronic method can make the calculation faster and the reading orientation information is more convenient. The electronic corona compass device provided by the invention has a simple structure and a relatively low cost. 7 200909776 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will be further described in detail in conjunction with the following drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of an electronic day I compass of the present invention; and Figure 2 is a compass device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
