[0002] During the voyage, the crew needs to pay attention to the state of the ship at all times, especially the tilt angle of the ship, which involves the safety of the ship. In the traditional configuration, the inclinometers on the ship are mostly mechanical pendulum type, which use the principle of gravity to display the tilt angle through the pendulum needle. The mechanical pendulum inclinometer has low accuracy, and because there is no relevant visual alarm device, it cannot promptly remind the crew of the dangerous tilt state of the ship. In actual use, the ship may be in danger due to the negligence of the crew. Therefore, a new type of visual marine electronic inclinometer with alarm is urgently needed to solve this problem.
