The invention discloses a
metal detection sensor, which comprises a
signal source connected with a coil and used for applying an
excitation signal to the coil so as to excite the coil to generate a primary
magnetic field; the
delay trigger module is connected with the
signal source and is used for detecting the edge of the
excitation signal and sending out a
control signal after the edge is detected and a preset
delay time is delayed; the
signal processing circuit is connected with the coil so as to detect the
voltage at the two ends of the coil; and the processor responds to the
control signal, and is used for outputting the
voltage amplitude at the two ends of the coil when the
control signal is output or the integral value of the
voltage amplitude at the two ends of the coil within a preset period after the control signal is sent out, and judging whether a detected
metal object exists in a detection area adjacent to the coil according to the
voltage amplitude or the integral value. The sensor is simple in structure and easy to realize. The detection result is not sensitive to the
conductivity of a part of objects to be detected, and the method can be suitable for detected
metal objects made of various materials.
