Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of eddy current sensors, and particularly relates to a digital signal processing circuit, a digital signal processing method, and an eddy current displacement sensor device including the digital signal processing circuit. Background Art

[0002] Eddy current sensors are one type of non-contact sensors. When a high-frequency alternating current signal flows through the coil of the sensor, an alternating magnetic field will be generated around the coil. Eddy currents are generated in the nearby conductor by the alternating magnetic field, and it generates another magnetic field in the direction opposite to the coil. The interaction between the magnetic field of the coil and the eddy current changes the AC impedance of the sensor coil. The distance between the detector coil and the measured metal is proportional to the coupling strength of the magnetic field. Therefore, the displacement of the target conductor can be obtained by measuring the AC impedance.

[0003] However, the disadvantage of eddy current sensors is the large temperature drift. This is because an eddy current sensor is essentially an impedance measurement circuit, and the impedance and resistivity of the sensor coil and the measured metal will change with temperature, thus affecting the measurement. The probe coil of an eddy current sensor is generally wound with enameled wires of metals with high conductivity such as copper and silver. However, while these two metals have high conductivity, they also have a high temperature drift coefficient, and the error caused by this temperature drift cannot be eliminated from the production of the sensor coil. The resistivity of the measured metal will increase with the increase of temperature, and the resistivity will affect the coupling strength, thus affecting the output strength of the detector signal. This temperature drift is also a principle error and cannot be completely eliminated. The same is true for the cable impedance drift. Finally, in the signal processing circuit, the change of temperature will cause the parameter change of semiconductor devices, resulting in zero drift and temperature drift of the amplifier, thus affecting the output of the sensor.

[0004] Generally, two methods are adopted to overcome the temperature drift of eddy current sensors. The first method is the data processing method, that is, using prior knowledge and algorithms to post-calibrate the output data of the sensor to improve its accuracy. For example, the temperature compensation method based on the binary regression method, the external compensation method using mathematical fitting to achieve temperature drift compensation, etc. The second method is to add a self-compensation module in the design of the eddy current sensor and use circuit design to achieve temperature compensation. For example, the method of using a wireless coil to compensate for temperature drift, the method of self-calibration combined with a bridge circuit, the method of designing a mechanical mechanism and a compensation circuit to reduce temperature drift, the temperature compensation displacement sensor based on a constant current circuit and a temperature coefficient parameter method, etc. However, these methods ignore the influence of the temperature drift of devices in the analog processing circuit on the system output, and the temperature characteristics of each electronic component in the demodulation circuit have not been fully analyzed and compensated.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of the differential sensing system described in the embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the differential sensing system of the present invention includes a first coil sensor probe 1 and a second coil sensor probe 3. The two coil sensor probes are respectively placed on both sides of the measured object 2. At this time, the basic structure of the eddy current sensor constitutes a parallel resonant LC circuit. A driving signal Ui with a constant frequency and a constant amplitude is input into the parallel resonant circuit composed of the first coil sensor probe 1 and a capacitor. When the distance between the first coil sensor probe 1 and the measured object 2 changes, the mutual inductance coefficient M between the first coil sensor probe 1 and the second coil sensor probe 3 will change, and thus the output signal will also change accordingly. The distance information between the first coil sensor probe 1 and the second coil sensor probe 3 and the measured object 2 is approximately linearly related to the amplitude of the output signal.

Selecting two coil sensor probes with the same structure as Figure 1 shown to form a differential sensing system can effectively eliminate the common-mode interference caused by coil temperature drift, the temperature drift caused by the resistivity of the target metal, and the temperature drift caused by cable impedance.

[0037] Figure 2Schematic structural diagram of the eddy current displacement sensor device according to the embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the eddy current displacement sensor device includes a laser collimator 6, a first coil sensor probe 1, a second coil sensor probe 3, a first probe fixing device 4, a second probe fixing device 5, a one-dimensional linear displacement platform 7, a demodulation circuit 8, an FPGA processor 9, and a processing computer 10 disposed on a processing platform 11.

[0038] Specifically, the laser collimator 6 is used to adjust the position of the object to be measured 2 relative to the two coil sensor probes. The one-dimensional linear displacement platform 7 is fixedly connected to the object to be measured 2, and their positions are relatively stationary. The movement of the one-dimensional linear displacement platform 7 drives the movement of the object to be measured 2. The two coil sensor probes are fixed on the probe fixing devices. The first coil sensor probe 1 is fixed on the first probe fixing device 4, and the second coil sensor probe 3 is fixed on the second probe fixing device 5, which are used to generate displacement signals when the object to be measured 2 moves. The demodulation circuit 8 is used to convert the displacement information detected by the two coil sensor probes into voltage signals. The high-speed digital sampling circuit (symmetrical high-speed ADC circuit) in the demodulation circuit 8 is used to digitally demodulate the displacement signals. The FPGA processor 9 and the processing computer 10 are used to run the double-correlation demodulation algorithm and reduce signal noise.

[0039] The setup process of the eddy current displacement sensor device test is as follows: Fix the first coil sensor probe 1 on the first probe fixing device 4. Starting from the position of the first coil sensor probe 1, use the laser collimator 6 to adjust the position of the object to be measured 2 relative to the first coil sensor probe 1. When the designed measurement range is reached, fix the position of the second coil sensor probe 3 through the second probe fixing device 5, and the object to be measured 2 returns to the middle position between the two coil sensor probes.

[0040] Figure 3 Schematic structural diagram of the digital signal processing circuit framework according to the embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, when the object to be measured generates displacement, the two coil sensor probes placed on both sides of the object to be measured will detect displacement signals. The temperature compensation crystal oscillator outputs a driving signal. After the driving signal is input to the frequency division circuit to change the frequency, it is divided into two paths of signals. One path of signal enters the resonant network to drive the displacement signals of the two coil sensor probes, and the other path of signal is input to the FPGA processor as a trigger signal. After the displacement signals of the two coil sensor probes are input to the resonant network, they respectively enter the emitter follower circuit for amplification. After amplification, the first emitter follower circuit ( Figure 3 the middle emitter follower circuit 1) and the second emitter follower circuit ( Figure 3In the injection following circuit 2), two signals are subtracted by a subtractor at the next stage to obtain the differential mode signal measured by the differential sensing system; the differential mode signal is input to the high-speed digital sampling circuit after passing through the differential amplification circuit to realize the digital acquisition of the signal. After the digital signal is acquired, in order to further reduce the system noise and improve the temperature stability of the displacement sensor system, the digital demodulation method is used to replace the traditional amplitude demodulation method to realize the digital calculation of the displacement signal to be measured.

[0041] Specifically, when the eddy current displacement sensor device is used Figure 3 the digital signal processing circuit shown, after the signal completed digital acquisition enters the FPGA processor, the input signal at this time is: , where is the signal to be demodulated, is the noise signal in the system. The FPGA processor generates two reference signals with the same frequency, one is a sine signal and the other is a cosine signal, and the reference signal is .

[0042] If there is a correlation between the signal to be demodulated and the reference signal in the eddy current displacement sensor device, and there is no correlation between the reference signal and the noise signal, after the input signal undergoes delay, multiplication, integration and averaging operations, the cross-correlation function of the eddy current displacement sensor device can be obtained : .

[0043] Among them, is the product of the signal to be demodulated and the reference signal, is the product of the noise signal and the reference signal. From the assumption, it can be seen that the reference signal has a correlation with the signal to be demodulated, while the reference signal has no correlation with the noise signal, and the system noise of the eddy current displacement sensor device is Gaussian white noise that conforms to a normal distribution with a mean of 0. Therefore, the cross-correlation function of the eddy current displacement sensor device can be simplified as: .

[0044] When the reference signals are a sine signal and a cosine signal with the same frequency as the signal to be demodulated respectively, combined with the simplified cross-correlation function obtained above, the output of the correlation demodulator can be expressed as: and , where and are the amplitudes of the signal to be demodulated and the reference signal respectively, and is the phase difference between the two signals of the signal to be demodulated and the reference signal. At this time, the output expression of the amplitude of the signal to be demodulated can be obtained as: .

[0045] In a digital system, by setting the sampling frequency and sampling period for an analog signal, a discrete expression of the analog signal can be obtained. Both the signal to be demodulated and the reference signal are discretely expressed. The discrete expression of the signal to be demodulated is , and the discrete expression of the reference signal as a sine signal is , and the discrete expression of the reference signal as a cosine signal is: , where is the number of sampling points per period, is a constant. The cross-correlation function between the signal to be demodulated and the sine signal can be obtained as: ; The cross-correlation function between the signal to be demodulated and the cosine signal is: ; where is the amplitude of the signal to be demodulated, is the amplitude of the sine signal, is the amplitude of the cosine signal.

[0046] At this time, the output expression of the amplitude after demodulating the signal to be demodulated can be obtained as: .

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention in the eddy current displacement sensor device, the process of the FPGA processor and the processing computer running the double-correlation demodulation algorithm is realized through the above calculation formula, effectively reducing the signal noise and achieving the technical effect of reducing the low temperature drift of the eddy current displacement sensor device in a wide temperature range.
