Description

Capacitive sensor for measuring of inclination
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sensor of which is possible to measure the horizontal state or the inclination of the apparatus and structure, etc, and more particularly, of which is possible to measure the inclination on the basis of the changes of the electrode area that the liquid dielectric is contacted between inner electrode and outer electrode by the inclination since the sensor is composed by pouring the dielectric between the inner electrode that is divided into a couple and the outside electrode that is faced with the inner electrode.
If the horizontal state of apparatus or structure or the sate of inclination is exactly measured, the applicable field is very abroad. There is such a simple category that the horizontal state of the plate or mechanism can be simply measured, or the horizontal or vertical state of a building can be simply measured but it is necessary to maintain always any angle for the structure, and also every kind of industrial field have been becoming very variously, highly and precisely. Also, the field for measuring of the inclination state of the apparatus or structure that is possible to change at any time is continuously increasing. At this time, if the sensor exists for changing the result that the inclination is measured into the electronic signal, it will be very usefully used. Background Art
In the prior method that has been used to measure the horizontal state of objects for measuring, it has been using such a principle that the positions of water-drop are changed according to the inclination by inputting the water-drop into inner portion of glass tube. The prior water-drop type inclination sensor has very important problems that the first, it can be used for measuring of the horizontal or vertical state but cannot be used for measuring of any angle as the numerical value precisely. The second, it is insufficient in the place that it has an object to measure correctly because the water-drop is expanded or shrunken by the temperature around of circumference. The third, it is difficult to control remotely or to monitor always because the electrical signal cannot come out. Recently, the precision tube that the position is changed into X and Y directions according to the inclination as it is connected to the fixing ball through the connecting road and the capacitive sensor for measuring of inclination (Korean Utility Model No. 1999-288442) that is possible to measure the angle of two dimensions by measuring of the electric capacity between four electrodes that is fixed to the circumference have been published. It is possible to measure the inclination greater than the mechanical stopping friction of the precision tube in the definite limits of an angle that are permitted to the electric portion of circumference by the sensor but it had been impossible to measure another angle. Especially, it had been impossible to sense the minute change of angle because of the stopping friction.
Also, the electronic level (Korean Patent Appln. No. 1987-0005237) of the method for measuring of the electric resistance and impedance between two electrodes because of the inclination electrolysis nucleus existing to glass instrument has been published, but it is possible to measure the horizontal and vertical states but it is impossible to measure the voluntary angle of the limits of
0° ~ 90° degrees into the numerical value.
Recently, in U.S.A., etc, the inclination sensor (U.S. Patent No. 6,032,375) equipping with the electric capacity type sensor and the water-drop type sensor, the mechanical inclination sensor using the gravitation of weight (U.S. Patent No. 6,073,356), and the inclination sensor using the electric resistance of the liquid in the inside of an instrument (U.S. Patent No.6, 023, 971), etc. were developed and also the demerits of those are same as stated in above. Also, multi-electrode electric capacity type inclination sensor (U.S.
Patent No. 4,912,662) has been manufacturing and producing for the level use. But the said sensor was forming into the two-terminals type electric capacity apparatus because the metal capacity which the liquid has been putting was operated into an electrode for composing of the electric capacitor and it is very sensitive by the circumference temperature because the volatile alcohol as the liquid dielectric substance was used, and if the conductance balance circuit is not separately used for the electric capacity that is possible to measure the circuit because the characteristics of demerit coefficient are bad, it becomes to be difficult to measure the stable electric capacity.
On the other hands, the angle detector (U.S. Patent No.5,802,728) for fixing of the electrode that is faced with a couple of electrode as semicircular type to the circuit substrate in both sides of the ring for supporting that is manufactured into the PVC by the adhesive has been published. This is to consider only an electrode that is formed by the single electric capacitor but to disregard the voltage regulator shielding, and also the measuring stability of the electric capacity is bad because it is the two-terminals type electric capacitor using the volatile dielectric substance but the measuring angle and the linear angle are not studied. Also, there are such the possibilities that an amount of the liquid is reduced or it is highly affected by the change of the temperature after using of it for a long time because it is to use the liquid dielectric that the volatility is very high. As mentioned in above, for the development of the sensor to measure the inclination, the methods that the mechanical gravitation of the weight is used or that the impedance of an electrolytic solution is measured, and also such the basic methods that the differences of electric capacity are measured are already known well. But, it is necessary to such the studies for finding out of how to compose of the electrode of electric capacitor and how to apply with the voltage regulator shielding and how to compose of a balanced three-terminals type electric capacitor and how to obtain of the output that the linear angle is excellent.
Summary of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide with the capacitive sensor for measuring of the inclination that the inclination of the apparatus or structure, etc that is based on the change of electric capacity between the inside electrode and the outside electrode by the flow of the liquid dielectric according to the inclination can be measured by the sensor of which is composed as a couple of semicircular type inner electrode and the outer electrode that is faced with the inner electrode and the liquid dielectric having the most suitable characteristics, and further object of the present invention to provide with the capacitive sensor for measuring of inclination that the inclination of the apparatus and structure, etc. can be measured more correctly and widely by dividing the inside electrode of both faces that is formed to the electrode plates which are directly crossed from each other and which are Included to the inclination sensor, and also to provide with the capacitive sensor for measuring of inclination that it can be possible to measure correctly the inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. because the electric capacity between the inside electrode and the outside electrode is measured by intercepting of the changing factors of an electromagnetism noise or an electric field being which is added to the outside completely, and also that it can be possible to display into an analog or the digital by changing a size of the inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. into the change of the electric capacity.
To achieve the object of the present invention, there is provided with the metal ring for supporting of electrode having cylinder shape and the semicircular type electrode of which is contacted with said the metal ring for supporting of electrode, of which is divided into each a couple to the both faces and the inside electrode plate having the guard-ring electrode, and the outside electrode having the diameter of which is identify with the inside electrode and the guard-ring electrode that is fixed each to the both faces of said metal ring for supporting electrode, that is formed to the inside face of the circuit substrate, and the sensor including with the liquid dielectric that is poured into the space between the inside electrode and the outside electrode that is sealed by the outside electrode plate having the grounding electrode for the voltage regulator shielding that is formed to the outside.

electrode of the others face of said inside electrode plate and the others outside electrode that is facing with the inside electrode because the inside electrodes of both faces of said inside electrode plate are directly crossed and divided from each other. Also, if the inside electrode of both faces of the inside electrode plate are symmetric and divided to be corresponded from each other, the inside electrode of both faces of said inside electrode plate will be contacted to be lined up with each other, therefore, it is desirable to increase the measuring
sensitivity in duplication because it is possible to measure the inclination of 0°

Also, it is desirable to combine the inside electrode plate with the metal ring for supporting of electrode that a plurality of irregularities portion are formed to the outer circumference face of said inside electrode plate, and the designated space is formed for moving of said liquid dielectric between said metal ring for supporting of the electrode and the essential part of inside electrode plate. And, it is desirable to manufacture that the guard ring electrode of inside electrode of which is formed to both faces of said inside electrode plate is put to the center portion of the metal ring for supporting of the electrode and then is grounded automatically, and also it is desirable to manufacture for forming of the voltage shielding structure having the complete ground power source because it becomes to be completely contacted with the guard-ring of outside electrode and the metal ring for supporting of the electrode and it becomes to be completely contacted and fixed with the electrode for the outside shielding by attaching of the guard ring electrode of said outside electrode to both faces of the metal ring for supporting of the electrode with the O-ring and by rebooting of the thin metal band that is manufactured to the end edge of the circumference of a circle over the electrode for the outside shielding of the outside electrode.
And, It is desirable to withdraw the connection terminal for the electrical wiring of said inside electrode and outside electrode to the outer face of outside electrode plate by the terminal passing through said outside electrode plate electrically.

the inside electrodes 16a and 16b divided to the another face make horizontally
or vertically, therefore, it can be possible to use selectively the measuring limits
of the inclination into 0° ~90° degrees or 0° -180° degrees, etc. by the
sensor formed into the inside electrodes 11a, 11 b and the outside electrode 24
and the sensor formed into the inside electrodes 16a, 16b and the outside
electrode 41. That is to say, it is possible to measure the inclination in horizontal
state to 0° -90° degrees by the electric capacity type sensor including the
inside electrodes 11a, 11b and outside electrode 24 and also even if the sensor
of the present invention is not placed again, it is possible to measure the
inclination based on the vertical state to 90° -180° degrees by the electric
capacity type sensor including the inside electrodes 16a, 16b and the outside
electrode 41 in the present state.
Moreover, if the electric capacity type sensor of the present invention in a body is used, it is possible to measure the inclination of apparatus or structure
to 0° -180° degrees simultaneously as shown in Fig.12. And also, as shown in Figs. 3a, 3b, the guard-ring electrodes 13a, 13b that divided with the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b electrically have been formed to the circumference of the both faces of inside electrode plate 1 , the connection terminals 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b that divided with the guard-ring electrodes 13a, 13b electrically are formed to the designated portion of the guard-ring electrodes 13a, 13b, and also they are directly connected by the wire to the inside electrodes 11a, 11b with each other and the electrode surface of the inside electrodes 16a, 16b, therefore it is to remove entirely and to wire and to connect electrically the wire the errors of inclination that is generated by the irregularity of electrode surface. That is to say, it is rightly that the connection terminals 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b are connected to the connection terminals 21a, 21b, 27a, 27b of outside electrode plate 2 because the connection terminals 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b are electrically connected to the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b from each other and the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b are wired and connected by the wire to be arranged in a line or to be arranged separately.
Also, if it is necessary to measure more precisely the inclination in a
direction to 0° -90° degrees than the measuring limits of the wide inclination, it
is necessary to divide the inside electrode for harmony between the inside electrodes 11a, 11 b that formed to the both faces of inside electrode plate 1 and the center insulating wire of the inside electrodes 16a, 16b from each other and also it can be possible to improve the electric capacity in duplication by connecting in a line of the connection terminals 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b with them form each other.
As shown in Fig.1 through Fig. 4, the outside electrode plates 2, 4 are fixed after connecting of the outside electrode plates 2, 4 to the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode, and then the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode, and then as shown in Figs. 5a, 5b and Figs. 6a, 6b, the outside electrodes 24, 41 are formed to the fixed projections 32a, 32b formed to both sides of the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode in a cylindrical shape having the metal band 29 rebooted for connecting of the connection electrodes 25, 43 for the voltage regulator shielding of the outside electrode plates 2, 4 electrically, and then the outside electrode plates 2, 4 formed by the guarding- ring electrodes 22, 42 divided electrically are connected to the circumference.
The connection terminals 21a, 21b, 23, 27a, 27b, 44 separated electrically with the guard-ring electrodes 22, 42 are formed to the designated portion of said guard-ring electrodes 22, 42, and the connection terminals 21a, 21b, 23, 27a, 27b, 44 are connected with the outside of the outside electrodes 2, 4 through the passing hole (i.e. this is to say the state that the metal passing through the electric inner the hole bored by PCB, and it has a characteristics that it can solder very strongly because it is solder since the wire has been put into the through hole when the wire is electrically connected with the connection terminal) that passes through the outside electrode plate 2 electrically. Here, the connection terminals 21a, 21b among a plurality of connection terminals are electrically connected with the inside electrodes 11a, 11b and the connection terminals 27a, 27b are electrically connected with the inside electrodes 16a, 16b and the connection terminals 23, 44 are electrically connected with the outside electrodes 24, 41 electrically from each other.
Also, it is possible to intercept the outflow of the liquid dielectric because the O-ring 28 is indwell between the fixed bands 32a, 32b of metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode and each outside electrode plates 2, 4.
And also, the grounding electrodes 25, 43 for the voltage regular shielding has been formed to the outer circumference of circle of outside electrode plates 2, 4, and as shown in Fig. 2a, the metal band 29 formed to both faces of the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode is projected to the inner portion and connected to the grounding as the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode with the grounding electrodes 25, 43 for the voltage regular shielding of inner circumference of circle. Accordingly, the electric capacity formed between the inside electrode and outside electrode is not affected by the electric field or the noise, etc. being added from the outside.
Here, for generating of the difference of the electric capacity in two couple of electric capacitor by the outflow of the liquid dielectric 5 injected between the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b and the outside electrodes 24, 41 , the liquid dielectric must have the characteristics as follows. The first, the loss factor must be smaller than 10"4, and second, the corrosiveness against the metal must be not exist, third, the viscosity for the smooth flowing must be low, fourth, the cohesive power of the liquid itself must be bigger than the adhesive power with the electrode surface.
As the liquid dielectric 5 proper for the necessary condition as above, there is the thermostatic mineral oil and it is possible to ignore the balance control of conductance completely at the time the electric capacity is measured by such a liquid dielectric 5.
More particularly, if the liquid dielectric 5 proper against the capacity of inner space formed between the inside electrode 1 and the outside electrode plates 2, 4 after framing of the inside electrode plate 1 and the outside electrode plates 2, 4 is injected through the injection tool formed to the metal ring 3 for supporting of the electrode, as shown in Fig. 10, it is possible to extend the measuring limits of inclination increased to 0° - 90° degrees. On the other
hand, if the amount of liquid dielectric 5 is injected fewer than the optimum condition amount, it becomes to be not obtained by the characteristic of the
straight line in around of 90° degree.
Fig.10 shows the test result to which decide the optimum condition
amount, it can be known that 1.6 mi is the best suitable size. That is to say, if
the liquid dielectric 5 is injected to the space coming under 50% of the inner space formed between the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b and the outside electrodes 24, 41 , it is possible to measure the best of measuring value. It has been coating by the quality as Teflon, etc. for increasing of the cohesive power of liquid dielectric itself than the adhesive power of liquid dielectric 5 to the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b as above and the face of outside electrodes 24, 41. Accordingly, it is because it becomes to be the main error at measuring of the inclination if the adhesive power of liquid dielectric 5 is bigger that the cohesive power, it comes back into the original place since a body of sensor is shaken or rotated thereafter, the water drops of liquid dielectric 5 are stuck on the inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b and the surface of outside electrode 24, 41.
The inclination sensor that one of inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b is drawn horizontally and the another is vertically equipped according to the structure and the installation method of inside electrodes 11a, 11b, 16a, 16b can
measure the inclination (angle) in the limits of maximum 0° -180° degrees into
the resolution of 0.1 ° or 0.01 ° and can be useful to measuring of inclination of
given apparatus or equipment, etc. and also to monitoring continuously of inclination according to the used object and the equipped space.

The inclination sensor as shown in Fig.1 through Figs.2a, 2b, is same with Figs. 7a, 7b showing the operating principle of the inclination sensor.
First, it composes of a couple of electric capacitor by the inside and the outside electrode 24 faced and equipped with it and also it composes of another couple of electric capacitor by the inside electrodes 16a, 16b and the outside electrode 41 faced and equipped with them. Of course, the liquid dielectric 5 must be poured between the sealed inside electrodes 11a, 11b and the outside electrode 24 and another inside electrodes 16a, 16b and the outside electrode 41 by the metal ring for supporting of the electrode.
If the inclination sensor as shown in Fig.7a is left to be become the insulating center line of the inside electrodes 11a, 11b into the vertical state, the difference of electric capacity of both electric capacitors becomes as zero.
But, if the inclination sensor as shown in Fig. 7b, that is to say, the insulating center line of the inside electrodes 11a, 11b is inclined, the surface size of the inside electrodes 11a, 11b including the liquid dielectric is different, therefore, the difference of electric capacity of both electric capacitors is increased. Accordingly, the difference of electric capacity is increased by the size of inclination and the difference of electric capacity is maximum when the inclination becomes 90° degree. Fig.10 is the result measuring and giving an analysis of the characters of the inclination sensor using the measuring principle and this is to compare the relationship of the actual mechanical inclination and the difference of measured electric capacity by the graph. This is showing to measure the inclination by the change of electric capacity more precisely.
That is to say, as shown in Fig. 9, even if the inclination is inclined into the side because the space of oad and the space of obc are offset each other, it is not given an influence with the measuring result.
The operating of inclination sensor as shown in Fig.13, the difference of electrode capacity is generated by the flowing of liquid dielectric because the designated input added by the oscillator 400 is connected to the electric capacity at the trans former 300, and also it is possible to indicate the size into the indicating value of the digital or the analog, etc. according to the object by the electric circuit portion 200 (it is the value permitted by the sensor 100 and it is referred to the circuit for calculating of the inclination), or it is possible to indicate the designated inclination into the sound or stick graph, etc.
Effects of the Invention
Also, the present invention is possible to measure the inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. based on the changes of electric capacity between the inside electrode and the outside electrode due to the flowing of the liquid type dielectric according to the inclination by a sensor composed as a couple of semicircular type inside electrode and the outside electrode faced with it and the liquid type dielectric having the best characteristics.
Also, the present invention has an effect which possible to measure the
measuring limits of the inclination of apparatus or structure into 0° -90°
degrees, 90° -180° degrees, or 0° - 180° degrees, etc. by dividing of both
of the inside electrodes each other vertically and/or horizontally included in the inclination sensor.
Also, the present invention has a characteristic which possible to measure the inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. because the changes of electric capacity between the inside electrode and the outside electrode are intercepted by intercepting of the noise of electromagnetic force or the changing factor of electric field completely.
And, the present invention has an effect which possible not only to indicate the size of inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. into an analog or the digital by changing of the electric capacity but also to indicate the designated inclination (angle) into the sound or the stick graph, etc.
Industrial Applicability
The present invention as mentioned in above, it is possible to measure the inclination of apparatus or structure, etc. based on the changes of electric capacity between the inside electrode and the outside electrode due to the flowing of the liquid type dielectric according to the inclination by a sensor composed as a couple of semicircular type inside electrode and the outside electrode faced with it and the liquid type dielectric having the best characteristics.
Accordingly, if the horizontal state of apparatus or structure, or the sate of inclination is exactly measured, the applicable field is very abroad. It is needed to maintain always any angle for the structure because it is over such a simple category that the horizontal state of the plate or mechanism is simply measured, or the horizontal or vertical state of a building is simply measured and also every kind of industrial field are becoming very variously, highly and precisely. Also, it is continuously increasing such a field that measure the inclination state of the apparatus or structure that is changed at any time. At this time, if the sensor exists for changing the result measuring of the inclination into the electronic signal, it will be very usefully used.
Also, it is obvious that this dealer can change or correct variously the present invention in the limits of technical idea and also, it stands to reasons that the variation or correction is belonged to the claims attached.
