Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precision angular displacement sensor technology, and in particular to an absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layer structure. Background Technology

[0002] Angular displacement sensors are divided into incremental and absolute types. Compared with incremental sensors, absolute angular displacement sensors have advantages such as no need for reset upon power-on, immediate acquisition of absolute angle information, and no cumulative error, improving working efficiency and reliability, and thus gradually becoming the development trend of angular displacement sensors. Currently, the most widely used type is the absolute photoelectric encoder, which mainly achieves absolute positioning through encoding, but the encoding and decoding process is complex. Furthermore, precise markings are needed as a spatial reference for precise measurement, but the accuracy of the markings is limited by the processing equipment and technology. In recent years, domestically developed time-grating displacement sensors have adopted a time-to-space measurement method, eliminating the need for precise markings and achieving precise measurement, but the following problems still exist:

[0003] (1) The incremental counting method has a cumulative error;

[0004] (2) The excitation signal is input from the excitation electrode on the stator base of the sensor, and the induction signal is output from the rotor electrode on the rotor base. The rotor base needs to lead the signal output line, which cannot be used in some situations, resulting in a narrow application range. Furthermore, the installation of the signal output line is relatively troublesome. In industrial applications, under long-term high-speed operation, the signal output line wears out severely, which leads to a decrease in the reliability of the sensor. Summary of the Invention

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0039] Because existing angular displacement sensors suffer from cumulative errors, or the installation of signal output lines is cumbersome, the signal output lines suffer severe wear under prolonged high-speed operation in industrial applications, leading to reduced sensor reliability. Therefore, this invention provides an absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layered structure.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layer structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor includes: a first stator base 1, a rotor base 2, and a second stator base 3, which are coaxially and sequentially mounted.

[0041] An excitation electrode layer is distributed on the first surface of the first stator substrate 1 facing the rotor substrate 2, an induction electrode layer is distributed on the second surface of the rotor substrate 2 facing the first stator substrate 1, a reflection electrode layer is distributed on the third surface of the rotor substrate 2 facing the second stator substrate 3, and a receiving electrode layer is distributed on the fourth surface of the second stator substrate 3 facing the rotor substrate 2.

[0042] The excitation electrode on the excitation electrode layer, the induction electrode on the induction electrode layer, the reflection electrode on the reflection electrode layer, and the receiving electrode on the receiving electrode layer correspond one-to-one. The receiving electrode is a differential structure. The shape of the receiving electrode is a fully enclosed figure formed by two identical cosine polar coordinate curve segments in the interval [-π, 0] intersecting with concentric inner and outer circular arcs at the starting and ending points.

[0043] Specifically, in the layered absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor provided in this embodiment of the invention, the first stator base 1, the rotor base 2, and the second stator base 3 are coaxially and sequentially installed, and there is a certain gap between the first stator base 1, the rotor base 2, and the second stator base 3 to ensure that the rotor base 2 can rotate normally.

[0044] An excitation electrode layer is distributed on the first surface of the first stator substrate 1 facing the rotor substrate 2. The excitation electrode layer may include one or more excitation electrodes, and each excitation electrode may be provided with one or more excitation electrode plates. Figure 1 In this context, the first surface is the lower surface of the first stator substrate 1.

[0045] A sensing electrode layer is distributed on the second surface of the rotor base 2 facing the first stator base 1. The sensing electrode layer may include one or more sensing electrodes, and each sensing electrode may be provided with one or more sensing electrode sheets. Figure 1 In the middle, the second surface is the upper surface of the rotor base 2.

[0046] A reflective electrode layer is distributed on the third surface of the rotor base 2 facing the second stator base 3. The reflective electrode layer may include one or more reflective electrodes, and each reflective electrode may be provided with one or more reflective electrode sheets. Figure 1 In the middle, the third surface is the lower surface of the rotor base 2.

[0047] A receiving electrode layer is distributed on the fourth surface of the second stator substrate 3 facing the rotor substrate 2. The receiving electrode layer may include one or more receiving electrodes, and each receiving electrode may be provided with one or more receiving electrode plates. Figure 1 In the middle, the fourth surface is the upper surface of the second stator substrate 3.

[0048] The excitation electrode on the excitation electrode layer, the induction electrode on the induction electrode layer, the reflection electrode on the reflection electrode layer, and the receiving electrode on the receiving electrode layer correspond one-to-one.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the receiving electrode on the fourth surface of the second stator substrate 3 is a differential structure. The receiving electrode may include a first receiving electrode 31 and a second receiving electrode 32. The shape of the receiving electrode can be a fully enclosed figure formed by the intersection of two identical cosine polar coordinate curve segments in the interval [-π, 0] with concentric inner and outer circular arcs at their starting and ending points. That is, the shape of the receiving electrode can be fan-shaped, and all receiving electrodes are identical. The receiving electrodes can be formed by arranging the receiving electrodes with equal arc lengths along the circumferential direction. The central angle between the starting points of the two identical cosine polar coordinate curve segments can be set as needed, for example, it can be set to 44.56°, 59.12°, etc., without specific limitation here. Figure 2 Each receiving electrode contains two receiving plates.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the excitation electrode, sensing electrode, reflecting electrode, and receiving electrode can all operate simultaneously (i.e., all excitation electrodes, all sensing electrodes, all reflecting electrodes, and all receiving electrodes operate at the same time), or they can be selected to operate separately; no specific limitation is made here. Here, the excitation electrode is used to receive the excitation signal of the target number of paths; the sensing electrode is used to couple with the excitation electrode to obtain the initial traveling wave signal of the target number of paths, and transmits the initial traveling wave signal to the reflecting electrode; the reflecting electrode is used to couple the initial traveling wave signal to the receiving electrode; and the receiving electrode is used to output the target traveling wave signal. Subsequently, the target traveling wave signal can be processed by other modules included in the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor to obtain and output the measurement result of the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor, i.e., the absolute angular displacement value.

[0051] The absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layered structure provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an excitation electrode layer distributed on the surface of a first stator substrate, a sensing electrode layer and a reflective electrode layer distributed on the surface of a rotor substrate, and a receiving electrode layer distributed on the surface of a second stator substrate. In operation, this improves the signal-to-noise ratio, increases signal strength, and reduces signal transmission interference, thereby enhancing the measurement accuracy and reliability of the angular displacement sensor. Furthermore, the introduction of the multi-layered structure increases the sensing area on each substrate, further improving the quality of the angular displacement sensor's output. The differential structure of the receiving electrodes improves measurement stability, suppresses common-mode interference, enhances signal amplitude, and strengthens industrial adaptability. In addition, the special shape of the receiving electrodes improves the linearity of the output, resulting in higher accuracy of the angular displacement sensor's output under this modulation principle.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layer structure provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an excitation electrode comprising a first excitation electrode and a second excitation electrode, a sensing electrode comprising a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode, a reflection electrode comprising a first reflection electrode and a second reflection electrode, and a receiving electrode comprising a first receiving electrode and a second receiving electrode. The first excitation electrode, the first sensing electrode, the first reflection electrode, and the first receiving electrode correspond to each other, as do the second excitation electrode, the second sensing electrode, the second reflection electrode, and the second receiving electrode.

[0053] Both the first excitation electrode and the second excitation electrode are used to receive the excitation signal of the target number of channels;

[0054] The first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode are respectively used to couple with the first excitation electrode and the second excitation electrode, and respectively obtain the initial traveling wave signal of the target number of paths, and respectively transmit the initial traveling wave signal to the first reflecting electrode and the second reflecting electrode;

[0055] The first reflective electrode and the second reflective electrode are used to couple the initial traveling wave signal to the first receiving electrode and the second receiving electrode, respectively;

[0056] The first receiving electrode and the second receiving electrode are used to output two channels of first target traveling wave signal and second target traveling wave signal, respectively.

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the excitation electrodes on the first surface of the first stator substrate 1 may include two electrodes, namely a first excitation electrode 11 and a second excitation electrode 12; correspondingly, as Figure 4As shown, the second surface of the rotor base 2 also includes two sensing electrodes, namely a first sensing electrode 21 and a second sensing electrode 22; as Figure 5 As shown, the third surface of the rotor base 2 also includes two reflective electrodes, namely a first reflective electrode 23 and a second reflective electrode 24. Figure 2 As shown, the receiving electrode on the fourth surface of the second stator substrate 3 also includes two electrodes, namely the first receiving electrode 31 and the second receiving electrode 32.

[0058] The first excitation electrode 11, the first sensing electrode 21, the first reflecting electrode 23, and the first receiving electrode 31 are corresponding to each other, i.e., directly opposite each other, and are all located in the outer annular region of the corresponding substrate surface. The corresponding first excitation electrode 11, first sensing electrode 21, first reflecting electrode 23, and first receiving electrode 31 can form a first working unit.

[0059] The second excitation electrode 12, the second sensing electrode 22, the second reflecting electrode 24, and the second receiving electrode 32 are corresponding to each other, i.e., directly opposite each other, and are all located in the inner annular region of the corresponding substrate surface. The corresponding second excitation electrode 12, second sensing electrode 22, second reflecting electrode 24, and second receiving electrode 32 can form a second working unit. Here, the first working unit and the second working unit are independent of each other; they can operate simultaneously or at different times.

[0060] Both the first excitation electrode 11 and the second excitation electrode 12 can receive the target number of excitation signals. The target number of signals can be equal to the number of excitation electrode groups on the first excitation electrode 11 and the second excitation electrode 12. Here, the number of excitation electrode groups is the number of wires that can be connected to each excitation electrode on the first excitation electrode 11 and the second excitation electrode 12.

[0061] The excitation signal can be a sinusoidal excitation signal, and each excitation signal can have the same frequency and amplitude, and can be sequentially separated by a preset phase. For example, if the target number of channels is 4, the preset phase can be 90°.

[0062] The first sensing electrode 21 is coupled to the first excitation electrode 11 to obtain a first initial traveling wave signal for the target number of paths, and the obtained first initial traveling wave signal is transmitted to the first reflecting electrode 23. The second sensing electrode 22 is coupled to the second excitation electrode 12 to obtain a second initial traveling wave signal for the target number of paths, and the obtained second initial traveling wave signal is transmitted to the second reflecting electrode 24.

[0063] Here, the first initial traveling wave signal and the second initial traveling wave signal are different because the first sensing electrode 21 and the second sensing electrode 22 are located on the sensing electrode layer.

[0064] The first reflecting electrode 23 couples the first initial traveling wave signal to the first receiving electrode 31, which then outputs two channels of the first target traveling wave signal. The phase difference between the two channels of the first target traveling wave signal can be 180°. Similarly, the second reflecting electrode 24 couples the second initial traveling wave signal to the second receiving electrode 32, which then outputs two channels of the second target traveling wave signal. The phase difference between the two channels of the second target traveling wave signal can also be 180°.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, by having two independent working units work simultaneously with the second working unit, and synchronously outputting two target traveling wave signals, the time difference between the output of the first target traveling wave signal and the second target traveling wave signal can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy and precision of the measurement results of the subsequently determined absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layer structure provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes a signal processing module, which is connected to the first receiving electrode and the second receiving electrode respectively.

[0067] The signal processing module is used to receive the first target traveling wave signal and the second target traveling wave signal, determine the first differential traveling wave signal corresponding to the first target traveling wave signal and the second differential traveling wave signal corresponding to the second target traveling wave signal, and determine and output the absolute angular displacement value based on the first differential traveling wave signal and the second differential traveling wave signal.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the signal processing module can be connected to the first receiving electrode 31 and the second receiving electrode 32, respectively. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the signal processing module may include a first subtraction circuit, a second subtraction circuit, a shaping circuit, and a signal processing unit. The first subtraction circuit is connected to the first receiving electrode, the second subtraction circuit is connected to the second receiving electrode, and both the first and second subtraction circuits are connected to the shaping circuit, which is connected to the signal processing unit.

[0069] The first subtraction circuit can be used to receive two first target traveling wave signals and perform subtraction on the first target traveling wave signals to obtain the first differential traveling wave signal U. 01 Among them, U 01 =K e U m *sin[ωt+15θ],K e U is the electric field coupling coefficient. m The amplitude of the excitation signal can be taken as 5V, ω is the angular frequency of the excitation signal, ω=2πf, f is the frequency of the excitation signal, which can be taken as 40KHz, and thus the angular frequency ω=8×104 π. θ is the precisely measured angular displacement value.

[0070] The second subtraction circuit can have the same structure as the first subtraction circuit. It can be used to receive two second target traveling wave signals and perform subtraction on the second target traveling wave signals to obtain the second differential traveling wave signal U. 02 Among them, U 02 =K e U m *sin[ωt+16θ].

[0071] Both the first and second differential traveling wave signals are sine waves. When the signal processing module determines and outputs the absolute angular displacement value based on the first and second differential traveling wave signals, it can use a shaping circuit to shape the first and second differential traveling wave signals from sine waves into square waves, and then input both the square wave first and second differential traveling wave signals to the signal processing unit.

[0072] The signal processing unit can perform precision measurement using the first differential traveling wave signal of a square wave, that is, it can combine the first differential traveling wave signal of the square wave with a reference signal U shaped into a square wave with a fixed phase. r A phase comparison is performed, and the phase difference after the comparison is represented by the number of interpolated high-frequency clock pulses. After transformation, the precise angular displacement value is obtained.

[0073] On the other hand, the signal processing unit can achieve the coarse measurement part through the second differential traveling wave signal of the square wave, that is, it can compare the second differential traveling wave signal of the square wave with the reference signal U at the same frequency. r A phase comparison is performed, and the phase difference after the comparison is represented by the number of interpolated high-frequency clock pulses. After transformation, the coarse measurement pole position value is obtained.

[0074] By combining the phase relationship between the first differential traveling wave signal and the second differential traveling wave signal of the sine wave, the absolute angular displacement value can be obtained, which is the output result of the absolute grating angular displacement sensor.

[0075] It is understandable that a sinusoidal reference signal U can be used. r The square wave reference signal U is obtained by shaping through a shaping circuit. r This signal is then input to the signal processing unit to compare its phase with the first differential traveling wave signal and the second differential traveling wave signal of the square wave. The signal processing unit can be a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip signal processing system.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, both the coarse measurement of the polar position value and the fine measurement of the angular displacement value are achieved using the first differential traveling wave signal and the second differential traveling wave signal. The signal differences are small, which realizes both absolute measurement and ensures measurement accuracy.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, the absolute time-grid angular displacement sensor based on a layer structure provided in the embodiments of the present invention has a first excitation electrode having a first number of first excitation electrode groups and a second excitation electrode having a first number of second excitation electrode groups.

[0078] The first excitation electrode is composed of a first excitation electrode piece arranged in a circle at equal intervals along the circumference, which is the product of the first number and the number of pole pairs of the first excitation electrode. Each adjacent first number of first excitation electrode pieces forms a first excitation pole pair. The first excitation electrode pieces at the same position in each first excitation pole pair are connected in series to form a first excitation electrode group.

[0079] The second excitation electrode is composed of a circle of second excitation electrode pieces arranged at equal intervals along the circumference, which is the product of the first number and the second number of pole pairs of the second excitation electrode. Each adjacent first number of second excitation electrode pieces forms a second excitation pole pair. The second excitation electrode pieces at the same position in each second excitation pole pair are connected in series to form a second excitation electrode group.

[0080] The first sensing electrode is composed of a circle of first sensing electrode pieces arranged at equal intervals along the circumference, which is the product of the first number and the third number of the first sensing electrode pairs. Each adjacent first number of first sensing electrode pieces forms a first sensing pair. The first sensing electrode pieces at the same position in each first sensing pair are connected in series to form a first sensing electrode group.

[0081] The second sensing electrode is composed of a circle of second sensing electrode pieces arranged at equal intervals along the circumference, which is the product of the first number and the fourth number of the second sensing electrode pairs. Each adjacent first number of second sensing electrode pieces forms a second sensing electrode pair. The second sensing electrode pieces at the same position in each second sensing electrode pair are connected in series to form a second sensing electrode group.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the first excitation electrode 11 has a first number A first excitation electrode groups, and the second excitation electrode 12 has a first number A second excitation electrode groups. A can be set as needed, for example, it can be set to 4.

[0083] The first excitation electrode 11 consists of A*M1 identical first excitation electrode pieces arranged in a circumferentially at equal intervals. Each first excitation electrode piece can be a fan-shaped annular electrode piece with an inner radius of 33 mm, a radial height of 9 mm, and a central angle of 2.8125°. The central angle corresponding to the interval between two adjacent first excitation electrodes is 2.8125°.

[0084] Each pair of adjacent A first excitation electrodes forms a first excitation pair, and M1 is the number of first excitation pairs. M1 can be 16, or it can be set as needed.

[0085] In each first excitation electrode pair, the first excitation electrodes at the same position are connected in series to form a first excitation electrode group, and the number of first excitation electrode groups is A. The excitation signal connection lines used to form the first excitation electrode groups are all loop conductors located on the same wiring layer.
