Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of precision measurement, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for evaluating charge measurement errors based on finite element simulation. Background Technology

[0002] In precision measurement, sensitive elements are typically insulated to isolate them from external interference such as electrical and thermal noise. For example, in the European Space Agency's LISA space gravitational wave detection program, the sensitive probe of the inertial sensor is a typical isolated conductor. However, because an isolated conductor has no electrical connection to surrounding objects, free charges in space will adhere to it, leading to charge accumulation. Although the amount of accumulated charge is small, the electrostatic force generated by the accumulated charge can interfere with the instrument's measurement results, thus requiring charge management on the isolated conductor.

[0003] To meet the requirement that the total noise of the inertial sensor in the millihertz frequency band is better than 10, in gravitational wave detection... -15 m / s 2 / Hz 1 / 2 In terms of magnitude, the current mainstream charge management scheme first measures the charge value on the inspection mass using electrostatic modulation, and then uses ultraviolet light to generate photocurrent to control the charge on the inspection mass below the required value. Therefore, high-precision charge measurement is the foundation of charge management. The mainstream inspection mass charge measurement methods are all based on electrostatic modulation. The measurement accuracy of this method depends on the electrostatic model, which is based on the ideal interaction between the inspection mass charge and the plate voltage, without considering the influence of actual interference factors on the electrostatic force. However, the actual electrostatic force is affected by factors such as the complex structure of the inertial sensor, the distribution of the inspection mass charge, the plate voltage, and the position of the inspection mass, leading to charge measurement errors. Currently, research on measurement errors is lacking, and theoretical research suffers from problems such as simple models and unclear parameters; ground experiments have limited degrees of freedom; and on-orbit experiments are costly.

[0052] Beneficial effects:

[0053] This invention provides a method and system for evaluating charge measurement errors based on finite element simulation. The method involves establishing a geometric model of the charge measurement based on the sensitive probe of a Tianqin inertial sensor in finite element simulation software. The influence of different factors on charge measurement can be simulated by changing the boundary conditions. For example, the influence of non-ideal modulation voltage can be simulated by changing the modulation voltage on the plates. Using Maxwell's stress tensor principle, the electrostatic force on the test mass is output through simulation. The output electrostatic force is post-processed to convert it into a charge measurement value. The data sources for the actual charge value and the charge measurement value are not limited by practical applications. Only the residual charge on the test mass needs to be set in the simulation model to obtain the actual charge value, thus allowing for a quantitative evaluation of the influence of different factors on charge measurement errors. More specifically, a simulation geometry is established based on the sensitive probe of the Tianqin inertial sensor in finite element simulation software; a suitable physics interface is selected, and the parameters and network of the simulation geometry are set. The simulation settings of the boundary conditions refer to the actual charge measurement. Corresponding modulation voltages are applied to the four plates along the x-axis, while the other frames and plates are grounded. The potential on the isolated conductor is set to V. TM V TM =Q TM / C tot ; where Q TM The residual charge value on the isolated conductor is calculated. The electrostatic force on the isolated conductor over a long period of time is calculated using transient simulation. The electrostatic force output calculated by simulation is obtained by orthogonal demodulation and moving average filtering of the electrostatic force in MATLAB to obtain the electrostatic force amplitude at the modulation frequency. Multiplying the amplitude by the measurement gain coefficient yields the charge value. The orthogonal demodulation uses a sinusoidal voltage with the same frequency and phase as the modulation voltage. The moving average filtering selects an appropriate number of cycles based on the amount of data. Finally, the charge measurement error is evaluated by two indicators: relative error and relative standard error of the mean.

[0054] This invention provides a method and system for evaluating charge measurement errors based on finite element simulation. In the finite element simulation software, a geometric model of charge measurement can be established based on the sensitive probe of the Tianqin inertial sensor, which can take into account complex geometric problems. Moreover, bidirectional coupling of electrostatic force and displacement can be achieved through the multiphysics coupling interface in COMSOL. Attached Figure Description

[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention provides a method for evaluating charge measurement error based on finite element simulation, comprising the following steps:

[0061] A geometric structural model for charge measurement was established based on the sensitive probe of the Tianqin inertial sensor. The model was then divided into a network, and material parameters were attached to the structure.

[0062] Set boundary conditions, change the influence of boundary condition simulation factors on charge measurement, and perform long-term simulation to output the electrostatic force on the quality inspection.

[0063] The output electrostatic force is post-processed to convert the electrostatic force into a charge measurement value;

[0064] Charge measurement error is evaluated using two indicators: mean relative error and relative standard deviation.

[0065] To make the problem description clearer, the mathematical expression is given below:

[0066] Basic settings are configured in the finite element simulation software. A geometric model for charge measurement is established based on the inertial sensor's sensitive probe. The inertial sensor's sensitive probe includes one inspection mass and 18 electrode plates, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown in the figure. Figures 1-12 represent 12 control plates used to monitor the displacement of the inspection mass and control its position at the center; figures 13-18 represent 6 injection plates used to apply AC modulation signals for capacitive displacement sensing to the inspection mass. To simulate the vacuum environment around the sensitive probe of the inertial sensor, a vacuum domain and an infinite element domain are applied outside the probe. Two physical field interfaces are selected: electrostatics and global ordinary differential equations and differential algebraic equations. The material of the sensitive probe region is set to gold, the surrounding infinite element domain is set to vacuum, and finally, the mesh is set to a physical field control mesh with ultra-fine mesh cell size.

[0067] During simulation modeling, the "terminal" interface in the physics field is used to set the boundary conditions for each part according to the charge measurement principle. The potential on the inspection mass is set to V. TM V TM =Q TM / C tot , where Q TM C represents the residual charge on an isolated conductor. tot The total capacitance of the inertial sensor's sensitive probe is given; the voltages of the four plates along the x-axis are set according to the following formula, and the other 14 plates and plate frames are grounded using terminals.

[0068]

[0081]

[0082] Among them, H q α is the gain coefficient; α is the geometry factor, which means the ratio between the actual capacitance gradient caused by the edge effect of the geometry and the theoretical capacitance gradient based on the parallel plate capacitor. In the post-processing, two cases are considered: one is to consider the capacitance gradient given by the theoretical model based on the parallel plate capacitor, i.e., α = 1; the other is to give the capacitance gradient value based on the finite element simulation and correct the capacitance gradient, i.e., α = 1.46.

[0083] C x To test the capacitance of the plates in the x-direction when the mass is at its center position; x is the offset of the mass in the x-direction.

[0084] The charge measurement value is:

[0085] Q TM,est =H q *F 1ω

[0086] The average relative error is given by comparing the actual charge value set in the simulation, i.e.:

[0087]

[0088] Where n is the amount of data for the charge measurement;

[0089] In addition, the relative standard deviation of the mean represents the fluctuation of the charge measurement value, that is:

[0090]

[0091] Where σ is the variance of the charge measurement; QTM This represents the average value of the charge measurements.

TM V TM =Q TM / C tot ; where Q TM This represents the residual charge value on an isolated conductor. The transient calculation of the long-term electrostatic force on the isolated conductor is used. The simulated electrostatic force output is then subjected to orthogonal demodulation and moving average filtering using MATLAB to obtain the electrostatic force amplitude at the modulation frequency. Multiplying this amplitude by the measurement gain coefficient yields the charge value. The orthogonal demodulation involves multiplying the signal by a sinusoidal voltage with the same frequency and phase as the modulation voltage. The moving average filtering uses an appropriate number of cycles depending on the amount of data.
