Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] An impact sensor is a type of acceleration sensor, generally used to monitor the vibration conditions in short-time large-impact scenarios. The vibration level at the measured position can reach tens of thousands of g within a time of less than 10 microseconds. Such extremely fast transient vibration parameters and capricious impact levels pose higher requirements for the measurement range and impact limit of the test sensor. A piezoelectric impact sensor is a vibration measurement component made using the positive piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric elements. Compared with other types of acceleration sensors, it has the characteristics of good stability, high repeatability, simple structure, not easy to age, and high sensitivity, and is widely used in industrial fields such as industry, aviation, navigation, and ordnance. Currently, common impact sensors generally have relatively large volume and mass, and the upper limit of the working measurement range is about 20,000 g. Beyond this measurement range, the structure and function of the sensor will collapse. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a large-range impact sensor to solve the above problems.

[0020] The housing 3 of the present utility model is made of 304 stainless steel and copper, and the overall temperature tolerance reaches above 200°C; high-temperature piezoelectric ceramic chips are selected for the present utility model, with a Curie temperature above 840°C.
