technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of structure measurement, and in particular relates to displacement or deformation measurement of large structures in the construction field. Background technique [0002] In the daily maintenance of large structures, it is very important to measure the deformation or displacement of its key components. The stress magnitude and distribution changes of the above-mentioned stressed components most directly reflect the health of the structure. Therefore, the stress status monitoring of these components And the safety analysis and evaluation based on this is of great significance. [0003] The vibrating wire sensor is one of the most advanced sensors in the application of force measurement at present. Its sensitive element is a metal wire string, which is connected and fixed with the force-bearing part of the sensor. Various physical quantities are measured by the tension relationship.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Since the displacement measurement of the structure involves displacement in three directions, the vibrating wire sensor can only obtain the displacement along the string direction, and cannot realize the all-round monitoring of the structure; Sweep frequency excitation is to select the appropriate frequency segment according to the natural frequency of the sensor, and apply a 5V frequency sweep pulse train signal to the sensor with gradually increasing frequency. When the frequency of the excitation signal is close to the natural frequency of the steel string, the steel string can Reach the resonance state quickly, the amplitude of the resonance state is the largest, can generate a large induced electromotive force, the frequency signal output by the sensor has a high signal-to-noise ratio and is easy to measure

[0005] However, since the frequency sweep signal is a continuous pulse signal from the lower frequency limit to the upper frequency limit, in order to ensure the excitation effect, the pulse of each frequency must last for several cycles, and the excitation time is too long, resulting in high energy consumption, which limits the sensor In the application of remote unattended measurement system, in order to improve the battery life and save energy consumption, it is necessary to improve the electric excitation method of the vibrating wire sensor
