A Time Grating Linear Displacement Sensor Based on Alternating Electric Field

Abstract

A time grating linear displacement sensor based on an alternating electric field comprises two parts, namely a head measuring base body and a sizing base body, wherein a left electrode and a right electrode are coated on the lower surface of the head measuring base body; a left row of electrodes and a right row of electrodes are coated on the upper surface of the sizing base body; the distance between the start position of the left row of electrodes and the start position of the right row of electrodes of the sizing base body is 1/2 electrode width; the lower surface of the head measuring base body is relatively parallel to the upper surface of the sizing base body; a fixed clearance theta is formed between the lower surface of the head measuring base body and the upper surface of the sizing base body; a left group of differential capacitors and a right group of differential capacitors are formed; the head measuring base body and the sizing base body are relatively moved; the left rowof electrodes and the right row of electrodes of the sizing base body are respectively connected with sinusoidal excitation voltages with equal amplitude and equal frequency, wherein the difference between the phases of the sinusoidal excitation voltages is 90 degrees; two routes of electric field coupling signals respectively generated by the left electrode and the right electrode of the head measuring base body are combined into one route of travelling wave signals Uo through an adding circuit; after the route of travelling wave signals Uo is shaped with one route of common-frequency reference signals Ur with fixed phase, phase comparison is performed; and the phase difference between the two routes of signals is represented by an interpolated clock pulse and is transformed to generate a linear displacement value. The time grating linear displacement sensor based on the alternating electric field has the advantages of low power consumption, light weight, high resolution and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a precision linear displacement measuring sensor. technical background [0002] In the field of precision linear displacement measurement, grating sensors such as gratings, magnetic gratings, and capacitive gratings are mainly used. The measurement standard uses periodic grating lines that are evenly divided in space, and the displacement is obtained by counting the grating lines. Precision measurement requires the ability to measure the linear displacement of 1mm~0.1mm. In order to meet the measurement accuracy and resolution requirements, it cannot be achieved by the precision engraved line itself. It is necessary to use high-precision electronic subdivision technology, so that the manufacture of these grid sensors The process is demanding, the cost is high, and the anti-interference ability is poor. [0003] In recent years, a kind of time grating sensor with clock pulse as the reference of displacement measurement has been...
