Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for measuring acceleration according to the type of the independent claim.
- the device for acceleration measurement according to the invention with the features of the independent claim has the advantage that a combination of the measurement signals from the different measurement directions is evaluated together and simultaneously in a circuit. This considerably reduces the effort. Especially when used in motor vehicle technology and thereby in one Crash sensing is thus a simple possibility of crash plausibility in the case of front or side impact sensors. In front and / or side impact detection, usually not only one or more sensors for the actual impact detection are present, but also another independent sensor for plausibility checking of an impact detection signal. So it is monitored that the actual impact sensors are working properly.
- clock generators are provided on the two-dimensional sensor element for both measuring directions, and the ratio of the frequency that the two clock generators each deliver is an even number. As a result, the signals in phase and the odd ones in antiphase are obtained in an even clock cycle.
- the evaluation circuit of the device according to the invention has a threshold value decider, so that the combination of the measurement signals from the different measurement directions is compared with a threshold value determined from experiments and simulations in order to decide whether, if a triggering event, the was detected by the impact sensors, should be checked for plausibility, is an impact or not.
- the combination with another acceleration sensor enables further optimization.
- Figure 1 shows a functional principle of a two-dimensional
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a second block diagram of the invention
- Figure 4 shows the time relationships of the different
- Accelerometers are increasingly being used in the automotive industry. Acceleration sensors of this type are increasingly being manufactured from semiconductors using micromechanics. A membrane is used as the acceleration-sensitive sensor element. In order to detect acceleration in a surface, it is possible with such a membrane to record this acceleration in the X and Y directions.
- FIG. 1 shows the operation of a two-dimensional membrane.
- a membrane CM has two fingers 4 and 5, which each form two capacitors in an interdigital structure with an external circuit.
- the interdigital finger 4 forms a first capacitor CHY with the upper electrode and a second capacitor CLY with the lower electrode.
- a clock signal with the frequency FY is applied to the electrodes.
- the interdigital finger 5 forms a first capacitor CHX with the left electrode and a second capacitor CLX with a right electrode.
- a clock signal with a frequency FX is given to the series connection of the capacitors CHX and CLX.
- the interdigital fingers 4 and 5 thus provide a series connection of two capacitors. 'Are in a rest position, the interdigital fingers 4 and 5 at rest values in the middle between the respective electrodes. This center is characterized by the quiescent values Y0 and X0, Y0 wherein the quiescent value for the interdigital finger 4 and the resting value X0 • for the interdigital finger 5 is.
- the capacitances of the capacitors CHY, CLY, CHX and CLX change. Since the distance between two electrodes is inversely proportional to the capacitance between the electrodes, the capacitance CHY will increase when the interdigital finger 4 is moved towards the upper electrode, while the capacitance of the capacitor CLY decreases because the distance to the lower one Electrode increased to the same extent. This consideration also applies to the interdigital finger 5 and the capacitors CHX and CLX.
- FIG. 2 now shows the device for acceleration measurement according to the invention as a block diagram.
- FIG. 1 There is an equivalent circuit diagram which converts the capacitors CHX, CLX, CHY and CLY shown in FIG. 1 into a circuit which has a common connection 6, a combination of which is an addition of the measurement signals, these are the tapped voltages here UHX, ULX, UHY and ULY from an evaluation circuit 1 together and simultaneously be evaluated.
- the combined measurement signals are amplified by an amplifier V, a charge amplifier with Grundwer filter being used here. However, other amplifier circuits and types of amplifiers can be used here. This is followed by a rectifier network G, which represents the amount of the combined signal.
- FIG. 3 shows a second block diagram which shows the device for accelerometer measurement according to the invention.
- the evaluation circuit 1 receives a further acceleration signal, here from an acceleration sensor in the direction of travel.
- FIG. 4 shows how the time relationships of the different voltages measured across the capacitors are.
- the voltages across the capacitors CHX and CLX here are UHX and ULX, are clocked at half the frequency with which the voltages UHY and ULY are clocked due to the clock frequency FX. Therefore distinguish four areas a, b, c and d. The following applies to areas a and d
- f denotes a functional relationship here. This explains why different frequencies are used for the two clock generators.
