The invention discloses an
electric field type time-
grating angular displacement sensor. The
electric field type time-
grating angular displacement sensor comprises a rotor and a
stator, wherein the surface of a base body of the rotor is covered with a circle of dual-sinusoid electrodes which are arranged at equal intervals, the surface of the base body of the
stator is evenly covered with a circle of fan-ring-shaped or curved-surface rectangular electrodes, a
stator lead are arranged on the bottoms of the electrodes, an insulating layer is arranged between the electrodes and the lead, the surfaces of the electrodes are covered with an insulating protective layer, and thus a multi-layer structure is formed; the base body of the rotor and the base body of the stator are installed coaxially, and a certain gap
delta is reserved between the base body of the rotor and the base body of the stator; the base body of the rotor rotates relatively around the axis; the four electrodes in a cycle of the stator are connected with a
sinusoidal excitation voltage with a phase of 0 degree, a
sinusoidal excitation voltage with a phase of 90 degrees, a
sinusoidal excitation voltage with a phase of 180 degrees and a sinusoidal excitation voltage with a phase of 270 degree respectively, the amplitudes and the frequencies of the sinusoidal excitation voltages are equal, and the phases of traveling wave signals Uo generated by the electrodes of the rotor are compared with the phases of a path of fixed-phase reference signals Ur with the same frequency; the
phase difference between the two paths of signals is represented by interpolated
clock pulses, and an
angular displacement value is obtained through conversion. The
electric field type time-
grating angular displacement sensor is simple in structure and low in
power consumption, requirements for mechanical installation precision are low, and free high-precision angle displacement measurement within the range of 360 degrees can be achieved.
