[0002] With the rapid development of new energy and driverless vehicle technologies, the market demand for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and EMI (electromagnetic interference) performance detection equipment for vehicles supporting advanced driving functions is increasing. During the vehicle testing process, in addition to driving at a certain speed, the vehicle is required to rotate reciprocally 360 degrees following a turntable, and the rotation angle of the turntable rotation mechanism needs to be accurately measured to achieve a precise evaluation of the vehicle performance.
[0003] Currently, for the angle measurement of the rotation mechanism, the prior art realizes it by installing an angle encoder at the rotation center position. When the rotation center position cannot be avoided from being occupied, it is not easy to implement this solution. At the same time, there are no conditions for installing an encoder on the drive motor or borrowing the rotation gear to install an encoder. In such a situation, it is necessary to rely on other devices to achieve the measurement of the rotation angle, and the accuracy and manufacturing cost should also be synchronized with the traditional devices.
[0004] There are also applications in the prior art that use a wire rope sensor to measure the rotation angle, but the winding length error of the wire rope on the rotation circumference directly affects the accuracy of the angle measurement. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a device for measuring the rotation angle with a wire rope sensor. The device effectively controls the winding error of the wire rope sensor, making the winding of the wire rope on the rotation circumference approximately close to a standard circumference, so as to ensure that the released rope length can be converted into the theoretical winding circumference, and then converted into the rotation angle through the conversion formula between the circumference and the angle, ensuring the measurement accuracy of the rotation angle.
