Only an RC integration smoothing circuit and a normalization circuit are needed to condition the signal required by the user.

[0059] Embodiment two:

[0060] Embodiment two is a preferred embodiment of embodiment one, which is different from embodiment one in that the specific structure of the inductive displacement sensor and the pulse width detection circuit thereof is introduced, and specifically comprises the following contents:

[0061] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 An inductive displacement sensor is disclosed, comprising: a pulse width detection circuit and a signal conditioning circuit;

[0062] The pulse width detection circuit comprises: an oscillation circuit composed of a crystal oscillator CY1 and a quadrature phase shifter IC1, a coil resonance circuit composed of a probe coil L1 and a resonance capacitor C1, and a modulation circuit composed of an inverter IC2, an XOR gate IC3 and an isolation capacitor C2; the signal conditioning circuit comprises: a smoothing filter circuit composed of an integration resistor R1 and an integration capacitor C3, and a normalization circuit composed of a gain resistor R2, a gain resistor R3 and a normalization conditioning circuit IC4;

[0063] The output terminal of the crystal oscillator CY1 is connected with the input terminal of the quadrature phase shifter IC1; the quadrature phase shifter IC1 comprises a first output terminal and a second output terminal, and the first output terminal is connected with the input terminal of the coil resonance circuit; the probe coil L1 and the resonance capacitor C1 construct a parallel resonance circuit, and the first end of the parallel resonance circuit is connected with the first output terminal of the phase shifter IC1 and the first input terminal of the modulation circuit respectively, and the second end of the parallel resonance circuit is grounded; the first end of the isolation capacitor C2 is connected with the first end of the parallel resonance circuit, the second end of the isolation capacitor is connected with the input terminal of the inverter IC2, the output terminal of the inverter IC2 is connected with the first input terminal of the exclusive-OR gate IC3, and the second input terminal of the exclusive-OR gate IC3 is connected with the second end of the quadrature phase shifter IC1; the first end of the integration resistor R1 is connected with the output terminal of the exclusive-OR gate IC3, the second end is connected with the first end of the integration capacitor C3, and the second end of the integration capacitor C3 is grounded. The first input terminal of the normalization conditioning circuit IC4 is connected with the first end of the integration capacitor C3, the second input terminal of the normalization conditioning circuit IC4 is connected with the first end of the gain resistor R2 and the first end of the gain resistor R3 respectively, the second end of the gain resistor R2 is grounded, and the second end of the gain resistor R3 is connected with the output terminal of the normalization conditioning circuit IC4.

[0064] In the embodiment, the working process of the inductive displacement sensor is as follows:

[0065] Step 1: a square wave pulse of 300 KHz to 1 MHz is provided by the crystal oscillator CY1 into the square wave 90° phase shifter IC1, wherein the square wave pattern output by the crystal oscillator is as shown in Figure 2 .

[0066] Step 2: the square wave 90° phase shifter IC1 converts the square wave pulse into two-way orthogonal square wave signals with a phase of 90°, the square wave signal with a phase of 90° drives the probe coil and the resonance capacitor C1 connected in parallel with the probe coil L1, and the signal with a phase of 0° is input to one input terminal of the exclusive-OR gate IC3; wherein the two-way orthogonal square wave signals with a phase of 90° output by the phase shifter IC1 are as shown in Figure 3 .

[0067] Step 3: since the probe coil L1 and the resonance capacitor C1 jointly act on the resonance frequency which is the same as the frequency of the square wave signal, a sinusoidal signal with the same frequency as the square wave signal is output at both ends of the probe coil L1; and the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal is proportional to the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, that is, the larger the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the larger the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal, and the smaller the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the smaller the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal. Wherein the sinusoidal resonance waveform at both ends of the probe coil L1 is as shown in Figure 4 .

[0068] Step 4, the sine wave signal is sent to the inverter IC2 after being isolated from the direct current signal by the direct current isolation capacitor C2 to perform the inverting operation as shown in the figure Figure 5 , and output a pulse width modulation signal PWM1 with a pulse width inversely proportional to the amplitude of the sine wave, and the waveform of the pulse width modulation signal PWM1 is shown in the figure Figure 6 ; wherein the direct current isolation capacitor C2 is used to isolate the direct current component in the sine wave generated by the LC sine wave resonance circuit composed of the probe coil L1 and the resonance capacitor C1; the inverter IC2 performs threshold level comparison and inversion on the sine wave signal output by the direct current isolation capacitor C2, and outputs a low level when the amplitude of the sine wave signal is greater than the threshold level, and outputs a high level when the amplitude of the sine wave signal is less than the threshold level. The signal output by the inverter IC2 has a pulse width inversely proportional to the amplitude of the sine signal, which is a pulse width modulation signal PWM1. Correspondingly, the pulse width is inversely proportional to the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, that is, the greater the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the greater the amplitude of the sine wave and the smaller the pulse width, and the smaller the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the smaller the amplitude of the sine wave and the greater the pulse width. Wherein, the inverting operation of the probe sine wave signals with different amplitudes is shown in Figure 9 and Figure 11 ; the pulse width comparison of the inverting operation of the probe sine wave signals with different amplitudes is shown in Figure 13 ;

[0069] In order to more intuitively verify the technical scheme, the present application uses mulitisim software for simulation debugging, as shown in Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 ; wherein in the three figures, the square wave on the left is the square wave with a phase of 0° output by the 90° phase shifter IC1, and the sine wave is the sine wave generated when the probe L1 resonates. The square wave on the right is the square wave with a phase of 0° output by the 90° phase shifter IC1. The middle modulation wave represents the pulse width modulation waveform PWM1 obtained after the inverter IC2 performs inverting operation on the sine wave of the probe coil L1.

[0070] Due to the diversity of technical routes, the circuit for realizing the pulse width modulation waveform can also be realized by using an operational amplifier, a special comparator, and other circuits, and the way of realizing the same pulse width modulation square wave by using other circuits should be protected.

[0071] Step 5, the pulse width modulation waveform PWM1 and another 0° phase signal output by the square wave 90° phase shifter IC1 are input to the exclusive OR operation circuit IC3 to perform the operation as shown in the figure Figure 7The XOR operation shown generates another pulse width modulation signal PWM2 whose pulse width is proportional to the amplitude of the sine wave; that is, the greater the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the greater the amplitude of the sine wave and the greater the pulse width, and the smaller the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the smaller the amplitude of the sine wave and the smaller the pulse width. Among them,

[0072] The XOR operation of the probe sine wave signals with different amplitudes is as shown in Figure 10 、 Figure 12 ; and the pulse width after the XOR operation of the probe sine wave signals with different amplitudes is as shown in Figure 14 .

[0073] In order to more intuitively verify the technical scheme, the present application uses mulitisim software for simulation debugging, as shown in Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 ; among the three figures, the lower modulation wave represents the pulse width modulation waveform PWM2 obtained by XOR operation on the square wave with a phase of 0° output by the 90° phase shifter IC1 and the pulse width modulation waveform PWM1 obtained by inverting operation of the inverter IC2;

[0074] Step 6, the pulse width modulation signal after the XOR operation is output after being smoothed by the integral circuit of R1 and C1, and a voltage signal proportional to the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object is obtained. That is, the integral resistor R1 and the integral capacitor C3 together constitute an RC integral smoothing filter circuit, which smoothes the pulse width modulation signal PWM2, removes the pulsating component, and outputs a direct current voltage value proportional to the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object. That is, the greater the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the greater the amplitude of the sine wave and the greater the direct current voltage, and the smaller the gap between the probe coil L1 and the measured target object, the smaller the amplitude of the sine wave and the smaller the direct current voltage. Among them, the RC integral smoothing waveform is as shown in Figure 8 ;

[0075] Step 7, the voltage signal is output by the normalization adjustment circuit IC4 in the output mode required by the user for the user to use. The normalization conditioning circuit IC4, R2 and R3 amplify and shift the direct current signal after the integral smoothing filter, and normalize it into the output mode required by the user.

[0076] In summary, the pulse width detection circuit and the inductive displacement sensor include an oscillation circuit, a coil resonance circuit and a modulation circuit; the output end of the oscillation circuit is connected with the input end of the coil resonance circuit, and the output end of the coil resonance circuit is connected with the modulation circuit; the oscillation circuit is used for generating a driving square wave signal and outputting the driving square wave signal to the coil resonance circuit; the coil resonance circuit is used for generating a sine wave signal with the same frequency as the driving square wave signal and outputting the sine wave signal to the modulation circuit; and the modulation circuit is used for converting the sine wave signal into a pulse width modulation signal with the pulse width being proportional to the measured displacement. Compared with the prior art, the present application converts the amplitude change of the probe sine wave into a pulse width modulation wave for detection, which can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference capability of the inductive displacement sensor detection, so that the resolution can reach nanometers or even angstroms. Only an RC integration smoothing circuit and a normalization circuit are needed to condition the signal required by the user, and in addition, the present application also has the characteristics of clear principle, simple circuit and simple debugging.

[0077] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
