The invention discloses an optimized sweep frequency excitation method for a
vibrating wire collector. The optimized sweep frequency excitation method comprises: a first step in which in a pre-sweep frequency excitation stage, a pre-sweep frequency excitation range and an impulse sequence incremental step length are set, then a pre-sweep frequency excitation impulse sequence is sent, and vibrationpickup and frequency measurement are performed, whether a
vibrating wire is reliably excited is checked according to frequency measurement data, if so, a sensor resonant frequency is acquired, and asecond step is entered, and if not,
error processing is performed; a second step in which in a complex sweep frequency excitation stage, a complex sweep frequency excitation range and the impulse sequence incremental step length are set according to the frequency measurement data of the pre-sweep frequency excitation, vibration
pickup and frequency measurement are performed after a complex sweep frequency excitation impulse sequence is sent, whether the
vibrating wire is reliably excited is checked according to the frequency measurement data, if so, a
vibration measurement frequency is returned, and if not,
error processing is performed. The optimized sweep frequency excitation method of the invention is provided based on a feedback strategy, can realize self-adaptive sweep frequency excitation under the condition that working parameters of a sensor are unknown, and is reliable and accurate in result.
