TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sensor calibration, in particular to a point and distributed vibration sensor calibration system and method under multi-physical field coupling. BACKGROUND
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] In the development of deep underground engineering (such as deep tunnels, mine energy storage facilities, etc.), due to the complex characteristics of high ground stress, high temperature, high seepage, strong power, etc. in underground environment, the disaster-causing mechanism of rock mass disaster presents the characteristics of nonlinearity and chain evolution. Based on this background, vibration sensors can capture key parameters such as structure vibration spectrum, amplitude and time domain characteristics in real time, and the dynamic response accuracy determines the reliability of structure state perception and disaster warning.
[0004] However, traditional vibration sensors still have significant limitations under the coupling effect of ground stress, temperature, humidity, etc. For example, ground stress may cause distortion of the sensor response, temperature fluctuations may change the polarization characteristics of piezoelectric materials, and then cause nonlinear shift of the charge output of piezoelectric accelerometers; humidity changes may cause attenuation of optical signals or increase of phase noise in optical fiber sensors. In addition, the dynamic response frequency range of deep rock mass is wide, and traditional point sensors are limited by installation density and spatial resolution, making it difficult to accurately capture the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of chain disasters. In contrast, distributed optical fiber acoustic sensors can obtain full-scale dynamic response characteristics of deep rock mass vibration signals through continuous spatial sensing, making up for the shortcomings of traditional point array sensors.
[0005] Whether it is a traditional point sensor or a new type of distributed sensing technology, the perfection of the calibration system directly affects the timeliness and accuracy of disaster warning, and even determines the scientificity of the safety decision-making of the whole life cycle of deep underground engineering.
[0006] According to existing investigations, existing calibration systems have the following shortcomings: Many calibration devices use only a single parameter (such as vibration frequency) as the control variable, lacking the ability to dynamically couple and simulate environmental factors such as confining pressure and temperature, resulting in significant deviations between calibration results and actual working conditions; Traditional calibration equipment is mostly designed for point sensors and cannot provide a uniform excitation field or synchronously calibrate the spatial consistency of distributed sensors. Especially in multi-physics environments, the stability and accuracy of the device cannot be effectively guaranteed, easily leading to phase errors and sensitivity differences; In addition, in multi-physics environments, traditional standard vibration signal acquisition devices are unreliable and difficult to accurately locate the sensor under test, affecting the accuracy and consistency of calibration results. At the same time, the lack of automated control and data acquisition systems in the hardware and software results in low intelligence, increasing the complexity of testing and potentially introducing human error.

[0058] The functional base compartment 51 is equipped with a high-pressure liquid interface assembly 57 for injecting confining pressure medium;
[0059] The top of the main environmental chamber 50 is equipped with a liquid circulation connector. The chamber is equipped with a vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55 and an excitation platform. A temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56 is spirally arranged along the axial direction outside the vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55. The vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55 is connected to the liquid circulation connector and the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56 to regulate the temperature inside the chamber by allowing hot and cold liquids to flow into the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56. The excitation platform includes a point sensor calibration structure and a distributed sensor calibration structure.
[0060] The calibration module is used to drive the exciter 14 to vibrate and acquire the measured sensor signal on the excitation platform and the standard vibration signal on the standard vibration signal acquisition device 3, so as to perform sensor calibration.
[0061] In this embodiment, the entire system is divided into a main structure 1 and a frame-type rigid support structure with the operating platform 13 as the boundary, providing a high-rigidity, low-interference vibration calibration base environment for the tested sensing element 11.
[0062] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the main structure 1 includes an operating platform 13 and components such as an environmental chamber 2, an excitation structure, a support structure, and a standard vibration signal acquisition device 3 installed on the operating platform 13. The support structure is equipped with the standard vibration signal acquisition device 3 and the environmental chamber 2.
[0063] The environmental chamber 2 is equipped with a vibration platform to set up the sensor element 11 under test. The environmental chamber 2 is connected to the constant temperature water bath system 4 and the hydraulic pump 6 through pipelines to connect the temperature-controlled liquid and the confining pressure medium. The vibration platform is divided into a point sensor calibration structure and a distributed sensor calibration structure.
[0064] The constant temperature water bath system 4 and the hydraulic pump 6 are both connected to the control terminal 5 through the signal transmission line 12. The control terminal 5 controls the constant temperature water bath system 4 and the hydraulic pump 6 to achieve precise control of the physical field parameters (temperature and pressure) in the environmental chamber 2.
[0065] The calibration module includes a processing terminal 7, a signal acquisition device for the sensor under test 8, a signal generator 9, and a signal amplifier 10;
[0066] The standard vibration signal acquisition device 3 is connected to the processing terminal 7, and the processing terminal 7 acquires the standard vibration signal from the standard vibration signal acquisition device 3.
[0067] A signal transmission line 12 is led out from the environmental chamber 2. The signal transmission line 12 is connected to the signal acquisition device 8 of the sensor under test. The processing terminal 7 is connected to the signal acquisition device 8 of the sensor under test. The processing terminal 7 acquires the sensor signal acquired by the signal acquisition device 8 of the sensor under test.
[0068] The processing terminal 7 runs a matching intelligent calibration software platform, which is used to collect standard vibration signals and measured sensor signals, as well as to perform calibration analysis.
[0069] The signal acquisition device 8 for the sensor under test can be an oscilloscope, digital demodulator, or other equipment, which can effectively shield environmental interference and synchronize triggering.
[0070] The processing terminal 7 is connected to the signal generator 9, the signal generator 9 is connected to the signal amplifier 10, and the signal amplifier 10 is connected to the exciter 14. The processing terminal 7 controls the signal generator 9 to generate various excitation waveforms, and after the signal is amplified by the signal amplifier 10, it drives the exciter 14 to vibrate.
[0071] The processing terminal 7, standard vibration signal acquisition device 3, signal acquisition device 8 of the sensor under test, signal generator 9, signal amplifier 10 and sensor under test 11 are interconnected through signal transmission line 12 to form a complete signal generation, excitation loading and response measurement path, so as to realize the synchronous acquisition and automated processing of standard vibration signal and sensor response.
[0072] Understandable. Figure 1 Only the structure installed on top of the operating platform 13 is shown; the lower part, used for support and stability, is... Figure 4 The frame-type rigid support structure shown is installed below the operating platform 13.
[0073] In this embodiment, the operating platform 13 is made of solid hard aluminum plate with a thickness of not less than 30mm, and the surface is anodized to improve its rigidity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, so as to ensure structural stability under complex loads and environmental conditions.
[0074] In this embodiment, an excitation structure is provided below the operating platform 13. The excitation structure is installed on the operating platform 13 by means of bolt connection to ensure that the excitation load generated when the drive exciter 14 vibrates is stably transmitted to the operating platform 13.
[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the excitation structure includes an exciter 14 and a fixing structure for fixing the exciter 14; the fixing structure includes a mounting base 15, a lateral support plate 16 and a limiting hole 17, which are used to achieve stable installation and precise positioning of the exciter 14.
[0076] The mounting base 15 is fixedly connected to the operating platform 13 by high-strength bolts 18;
[0077] The mounting base 15 has a lateral support plate 16 on each of its opposite sides. The mounting base 15 and the two lateral support plates 16 are vertically welded to form a rigid U-shaped bracket, which provides mounting support for the vibrator 14.
[0078] Each lateral support plate 16 is provided with a limiting hole 17. The vibrator 14 is inserted into the lateral support plate 16 through the limiting hole 17 to achieve bidirectional limiting and positioning of the vibrator 14 in both radial and directional directions.
[0079] The mounting base 15 is designed with a hollowed-out interface to align with the exciter 14, which facilitates the interface mating of the exciter 14.
[0080] In this embodiment, a rigid frame support structure is also provided below the operating platform 13, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes a support column 19, a support beam 20, a mounting assembly 21, and an adjustable shock-absorbing foot cup 22;
[0081] Among them, the support column 19 includes four columns, and the four high-strength support columns 19 form a rectangular frame. A support beam 20 is connected between two adjacent support columns 19.
[0082] The support column 19 is equipped with adjustable anti-vibration feet 22 at both the upper and lower ends. The operating platform 13 is located on the adjustable anti-vibration feet 22 at the upper end of the support column 19. It is used to adjust the overall level and effectively attenuate background vibration interference from the ground, thereby improving measurement stability.
[0083] As an alternative implementation, the adjustable shock-absorbing foot cup 22 is made of cast iron and rubber composite and is connected to the base by screw riveting. It has a certain range of micro-swing capability and a vibration-damping rubber layer at the bottom to absorb external interference vibrations.
[0084] As an alternative implementation, a support beam 20 is connected between the upper and lower ends of two adjacent support columns 19. The entire frame-type rigid support structure is composed of four high-strength support columns 19 and eight support beams 20 cross-anchored.
[0085] As an alternative implementation, the support column 19 and the support beam 20 can be fixedly connected by bolts through the mounting assembly 21, or they can be directly welded together.
[0086] As an alternative implementation, the support column 19 is divided into upper and lower sub-columns. The upper sub-column and the lower sub-column are anchored together by preset round holes. Multiple round holes are preset on the inner side of the upper sub-column. Thus, the overall height of the support column 19 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the round holes used for anchoring, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the operating platform 13 according to the test requirements.
[0087] Understandably, both the support column 19 and the support beam 20 are made of steel to ensure the stability of the support.
[0088] In this embodiment, the upper part of the operating platform 13 is provided with a support structure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the support structure includes support columns 23, support beams 24, and anti-instability limiting structures, which are used to bear loads and maintain the overall vertical stiffness and stability of the system.
[0089] Specifically:

[0091] The support column 23 is fixed to the upper surface of the operating platform 13 by embedded expansion bolts. The support column 23 has multiple vertical adjustment holes 25 on its column body to facilitate the adjustment of the vertical operating space of the support structure according to the experiment, so as to adapt to different experimental space requirements.
[0092] The support beam 24 adopts a rectangular steel structure, and its two ends are rigidly connected to the support columns 23 on both sides by high-strength bolts 18 to form a closed portal frame structure to enhance the overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
[0093] The middle part of the support beam 24 is provided with a sliding suspension point mechanism, including: a motor 26 installed on the support beam 24 and a pulley assembly 27 connected to the motor 26. The pulley assembly 27 is used to hang the environmental chamber 2 through the lifting ring 28.
[0094] Motor 26 drives pulley assembly 27 to move along the direction of support beam 24, and connects to lifting ring 28 through hook or pulley, so as to realize the vertical lifting and precise centering positioning of lifting ring 28 and the environmental chamber 2 attached thereon, so as to align with vibrator 14;
[0095] A standard vibration signal acquisition device 3 is installed on one side of the support beam 24 to set up the reference measurement points of the system and realize the acquisition of standard vibration signals.
[0096] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the standard vibration signal acquisition device 3 includes a vertical adjustment screw rod 29, a screw rod mounting component 30, a crossbeam mounting hole 31, a pin assembly 32, a strip connecting block 33, and a laser displacement meter 34. The standard vibration signal acquisition adopts a non-contact measurement method and selects a spot-type high-precision laser displacement meter.
[0097] The vertical adjustment screw rod 29 is assembled into the screw rod mounting part 30 through external thread, and the screw rod mounting part 30 is inserted into the beam mounting hole 31 in the middle of the support beam 24 through a limiting device, forming a vertically adjustable and stable connection.
[0098] The pin assembly 32 is installed on the top of the vertical adjustment screw rod 29 and forms a pluggable limiting fit structure with the bracket beam 24, which facilitates the quick disassembly and assembly and height adjustment of the laser displacement gauge 34.
[0099] One end of the strip connecting block 33 is located at the bottom of the vertical adjusting screw rod 29. The laser displacement meter 34 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the strip connecting block 33. Multiple threaded holes are provided on the lower side wall of the strip connecting block 33. The laser displacement meter 34 is clamped and fixed with the positioning screw. The signal transmission line 12 is led out from the laser displacement meter 34 and connected to the processing terminal 7.
[0100] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the anti-instability limiting structure includes an anti-instability column 35, a damping connecting block 36, an elastic element 37, and a helical compression spring 38.
[0101] Among them, the anti-instability column 35 is fixed to the upper surface of the operating platform 13 and is arranged opposite to the environmental chamber 2 to support the limiting components.
[0102] Damping connecting block 36 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of environmental chamber 2 as an elastic connection medium;
[0103] The elastic element 37 is a strip of beryllium bronze elastic sheet with a thickness of 0.8 to 1.5 mm. One end is connected to the anti-instability column 35, and the other end is connected to the damping connecting block 36. It is used to provide lateral flexible support and absorb part of the lateral disturbance energy.
[0104] The two ends of the helical compression spring 38 are connected to the damping connecting block 36 and the support beam 24 respectively, to form an adjustable flexible limiting component, thereby suppressing asymmetric vibration and platform dynamic instability caused by eccentric loading.
[0105] Specifically, the helical compression spring 38 is used to limit the swinging and overturning tendency of the environmental chamber 2 in the vertical direction. One end of it is fixed to the damping connecting block 36, and the other end is connected to the spring fixing hole below the bracket beam 24 through the slot positioning and threaded pressure cap structure, so as to realize the axial pre-tightening and adjustable limit function of the spring.
[0106] like Figure 6 The diagram shows the installation of the damping connection block. The damping connection block 36 has an overall L-shaped structure. The side is reliably fixed to the outer wall of the environmental chamber 2 by ordinary bolts 39. The upper side is provided with threaded holes. The elastic element 37 is fastened to the damping connection block 36 by screws 40 to achieve a stable connection of elastic support.
[0107] In this embodiment, the environmental chamber 2 is equipped with an excitation platform, which includes a point sensor calibration structure and a distributed sensor calibration structure.
[0108] Point sensor calibration structure as follows Figure 7 As shown, it includes a multi-point array flange 41, a first threaded rod 42, a vibrator force transmission shaft 43, and a second threaded rod 44.
[0109] Specifically:
[0110] The surface of the multi-point array flange 41 is provided with multiple rings of equally spaced circular positioning holes 45, which can be compatible with vibration sensors of different package sizes and installation forms, and support the flexible arrangement and precise alignment of multiple types of sensors on different installation radii.
[0111] The lower part of the multi-point array flange 41 is rigidly connected to the threaded interface at the end of the exciter force transmission shaft 43 through four first threaded rods 42, forming a detachable rigid connection structure. The other end of the exciter force transmission shaft 43 is aligned with the exciter 14 to ensure that the vibration energy is transmitted efficiently and stably along the axial direction.
[0112] The multi-point array flange 41 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and serves as an intermediate coupling component between the vibrator 14 and the sensor element under test 11. The signal transmission line 12 is led out from the preset through hole.
[0113] The multi-point array flange 41 has four symmetrically distributed helical connection holes in its center. These holes are used to install the second threaded rod 44. The other end of the second threaded rod 44 is connected to the integrated connection flange. The sensor element 11 under test is mounted on the integrated connection flange, and three positioning methods are provided according to the different structural features of the sensor element 11 under test:
[0114] For small sensors, lint adhesive is used for bonding and fixing; for sensors with mounting legs, double-sided symmetrical screws are used for fastening, in conjunction with positioning sleeves and elastic washers; for sensors with irregular or special shapes, a clamp-type composite clamping structure is used for fixing to ensure the stability of the sensor under vibration conditions.
[0115] The multi-point array flange 41 is replaceable and can be quickly replaced according to the size, shape and excitation load requirements of the measured sensing element 11. It supports customization of different hole distributions, installation spacing and center structure, and has good structural versatility and adaptability.
[0116] In this embodiment, the point-type sensor calibration structure can also be replaced with a distributed sensor calibration structure, such as... Figure 8 As shown, it includes: a spiral guide groove cylinder 46, a disc 47 and a through fastening screw 48, used for the equidistant arrangement and stable support of flexible distributed sensors.
[0117] Specifically:
[0118] The outer surface of the spiral guide cylinder 46 is provided with equidistant spiral guide grooves, which are used to guide the sensor (i.e. the measured sensing element) to be spirally and uniformly coiled along the spiral guide grooves on the surface of the cylinder, ensuring consistent layout density and stable coupling effect, thereby improving the continuity and consistency of the overall signal response.
[0119] Both the upper and lower ends of the spiral guide cylinder 46 are provided with discs 47, and the discs 47 are provided with through holes for axially passing through fastening screws 48. The two discs 47 are fixedly connected by the fastening screws 48, thereby forming an integrated rigid support frame, which enhances the stability and anti-interference ability of the overall structure.
[0120] A lead wire through hole 49 is provided on the disk 47 at the upper end of the spiral guide groove cylinder 46. The lead wire through hole 49 is used to pass through the signal transmission line 12 for the transmission of sensing signals.
[0121] As an alternative implementation method, the spiral guide groove cylinder 46 is made of aluminum alloy material, which is lightweight and high-strength.
[0122] As one possible implementation, the spacing of the spiral guide grooves can be set to 1mm, or it can be customized according to the sensor specifications to adapt to flexible distributed sensors of different lengths, wire diameters, or packaging forms.
[0123] As an alternative implementation, the disc 47 is provided with four through holes evenly distributed, and the spiral guide groove cylinder 46 and the disc 47 are fixed by four axial through fastening screws 48.
[0124] As an alternative implementation, polyurethane foam material is filled between the disc 47 and the through fastening screw 48 to isolate vibration and reduce noise and suppress electromagnetic or mechanical interference.
[0125] This embodiment achieves stable installation and centering of different types of sensors through point-type sensor calibration structure and distributed sensor calibration structure.
[0126] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the environmental chamber 2 includes a main environmental chamber 50 and a functional base chamber 51. The main environmental chamber 50 is located on the upper part of the functional base chamber 51, forming a vertical axisymmetric sealed combined cavity. The main environmental chamber 50 and the functional base chamber 51 are precisely aligned and fixedly connected by a fixing component 52. A sealing layer 53 is provided on the contact surface to achieve structural alignment and gas-liquid dual sealing.
[0127] The top of the main environmental chamber 50 is equipped with two hot and cold liquid circulation joints 54, one of which is a liquid inlet joint and the other is a liquid outlet joint. Both are connected to the external constant temperature water bath system 4, thereby forming a closed heat exchange loop for the closed-loop flow of heat exchange liquid.
[0128] The top of the main environmental chamber 50 is also equipped with a lifting ring 28, which facilitates the vertical installation, centering adjustment and disassembly and maintenance of the environmental chamber 2 as a whole.
[0129] As an alternative implementation, the fixing component 52 may be a locating pin and bolt assembly, and the sealing layer 53 may be a flexible O-ring and a high-temperature resistant sealant layer.
[0130] As an alternative implementation, the outer shell of the main environmental chamber 50 is made of transparent high-strength polycarbonate material, which combines structural rigidity with laser permeability, making it suitable for monitoring by non-contact laser displacement gauges.
[0131] In this embodiment, a high-pressure liquid interface assembly 57 is provided on the side wall of the functional base chamber 51, including a quick-connect high-pressure connector and a check valve. The high-pressure liquid interface assembly 57 is connected to the point sensor calibration structure (in the multi-point array flange 41) or the distributed sensor calibration structure (in the spiral guide groove cylinder 46) for connecting the confining pressure medium (such as water) injected by the external hydraulic pump 6, and directly connecting the confining pressure medium to the main environmental chamber 50, thereby forming a stable equivalent confining pressure field inside the cavity.
[0132] The functional base compartment 51 is also equipped with an independent discharge port or safety outlet for pressure relief, drainage or emergency response.
[0133] The functional base chamber 51 is made of anodized aluminum alloy and has a coupling interface with the excitation platform at the bottom. It forms a triple sealing system of vibration, temperature and confining pressure through silicone rubber damping gaskets and integrated flange sealing rings, which effectively prevents the confining pressure medium in the chamber from leaking to the excitation platform.
[0134] In this embodiment, the bottom of the functional base compartment 51 is provided with a through hole for a signal transmission line 12. The signal transmission line 12 is led out and connected to the signal acquisition device 8 of the sensor element under test. A wire sealing assembly 58 is embedded inside the through hole, such as... Figure 10 As shown, it includes a sealing cavity 61, a sealing flange 62, and a sealing lock nut 63; wherein, the sealing cavity 61 can be a flexible silicone sealing cavity.
[0135] Specifically:
[0136] After the signal transmission line 12 passes through the sealed cavity 61, the sealing ring 60 is fitted on the outside of the sealed cavity 61 and the threaded cover 59 applies a pre-tightening force along the axial direction to make the sealed cavity 61 press against the surface of the signal transmission line 12 to form a high-strength sealing interface, prevent leakage of the confining medium and suppress stress transmission.
[0137] The sealing flange 62 is installed at the opening of the system housing on the side wall of the functional base compartment 51, and cooperates with the sealing cavity 61 to form a boundary support structure between the cavity and the outside of the cavity, thereby forming a dual sealing structure of airtightness and liquid tightness under the bidirectional pre-tightening action of the threaded gland 59 and the sealing flange 62.
[0138] The signal transmission line 12 is secured at the end by a sealing lock nut 63 to prevent the signal transmission line 12 from loosening, falling off or leaking during system operation, and to ensure safe and stable signal transmission under high pressure, high humidity and vibration conditions.
[0139] In this embodiment, a vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55 is provided at the center of the cavity of the environmental chamber 2, and a temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56 is spirally arranged along the axial direction outside the vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55.
[0140] The top of the vertical temperature-controlled main circulation pipe 55 is connected to the inlet connector in the hot and cold liquid circulation joint 54, and is also connected to the inlet of the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56. This is used to guide the hot and cold liquids into the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56, thereby realizing the directional delivery and stratified flow of the heat exchange liquids. Then, the liquids return from the outlet of the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56 to the outlet connector in the hot and cold liquid circulation joint 54.
[0141] As an alternative implementation method, the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Utilizing a spiral arrangement structure, it achieves vertical temperature gradient control through hot and cold water circulation, thereby realizing uniform and stable regulation of the internal temperature field of the environmental chamber 2.
[0142] In this embodiment, the temperature-controlled liquid and the confining pressure medium are structurally independent and flow paths are separated. The former only circulates in a closed loop in the temperature-controlled heat-conducting coil array 56 for heat exchange and does not enter the environmental chamber 2 cavity. The latter is injected into the functional base chamber 51 through the high-pressure liquid interface component 57 to form a closed confining pressure environment, thereby achieving physical isolation and functional synergy between the temperature field and the pressure field.
[0143] In this embodiment, the system provides rigid vibration-resistant structural support through a high-strength, high-stability main structure and a frame-type rigid support structure. A vibration platform enables precise clamping and spatial attitude maintenance of the measured sensing element. The design of the environmental chamber and vibration structure simulates the strong vibrations, high ground stress, and thermal disturbances encountered in deep underground engineering. It integrates multi-modal dynamic excitation, confining pressure loading, and temperature control to achieve coordinated regulation of vibration, confining pressure, and temperature across multiple physical fields. By integrating the synchronous acquisition of standard vibration signals and the measured sensing signals, it achieves real-time acquisition, feature extraction, and automatic calibration of calibration data, improving system consistency and calibration efficiency. This allows for high-precision, automated calibration and performance evaluation of sensors under complex and variable environmental conditions.

[0152] S3. Signal preprocessing: Perform amplitude normalization, mean removal, filtering and signal amplification operations on the acquired raw signal to eliminate environmental interference and baseline drift, and improve the quality and signal-to-noise ratio of the input signal for spectrum calculation.
[0153] S4. Spectrum Analysis: Perform Fast Fourier Transform on the preprocessed standard vibration signal and the measured sensor signal to obtain the frequency-amplitude spectrum; further, excitation characteristic quantities can be extracted through main frequency point identification and amplitude analysis, focusing on extracting core parameters such as excitation main frequency, displacement amplitude, and response phase difference.
[0154] S5. Calibration Calculation: All physical quantities support standardization and unit conversion, based on frequency. f With amplitude D Calculate excitation acceleration a : ;
[0155] Therefore, by comparing the error between the standard excitation acceleration corresponding to the standard vibration signal and the measured excitation acceleration corresponding to the measured sensor signal, calibration indicators such as sensitivity and frequency response deviation are calculated, thus completing the automated performance calibration of the sensor.
[0156] S6. Result Output: The collected data, spectrum curves and the response of the tested sensor element are visualized in real time through multi-channel curve graphs. At the same time, the calibration results (including frequency, amplitude, acceleration and sensor output) can be exported in standard format and saved as a calibration report.
