However, after the crankshaft 3 has been working for a long time, the screws are easily affected by the centrifugal rotation and become loose, resulting in poor stability of the signal wheel 7, which affects the accuracy of speed measurement. During aircraft engine speed measurement, the crankshaft 3 rotates at high speed through the operation of the fuel-powered aircraft engine, driving the signal wheel 7 to rotate at high speed. When the signal wheel 7 rotates, the light-emitting diode 5 of the signal generator 4 emits light that shines on the stripes 9. The photosensitive diode 6 receives the reflected light and converts the received light signal into an electrical pulse signal through the detection circuit. Whenever the blade 8 blocks the light beam, the voltage of the photosensitive diode 6 is zero. The photosensitive diode 6 generates a voltage due to light sensitivity.

This structure can ensure the stability of the signal wheel 7 after long-term use by clamping the signal wheel 7, and there will be no deviation between the signal wheel 7 and the crankshaft 3, thereby ensuring the accuracy of speed measurement and helping to improve the stability of the signal wheel 7.

[0021] Working principle: In the process of measuring the speed of a fuel aircraft engine, the existing speed sensor usually fixes the signal wheel 7 in the speed sensor directly to the crankshaft 3 with screws. However, after the crankshaft 3 has been working for a long time, the screws are easily loosened due to the influence of rotational centrifugation, resulting in poor stability of the signal wheel 7, affecting the accuracy of speed measurement. In the process of measuring the speed of a fuel aircraft engine, the crankshaft 3 rotates at a high speed due to the operation of the fuel aircraft engine, and the crankshaft 3 drives the signal wheel 7 to rotate at a high speed. When the signal wheel 7 rotates, the light emitting diode 5 of the signal generator 4 emits light to illuminate the stripes 9. The photosensitive diode 6 receives the reflected light and converts the received light signal into an electrical pulse signal through the detection circuit. Whenever the blade 8 blocks the light beam, the voltage of the photosensitive diode 6 is zero. The photosensitive diode 6 generates a voltage due to light sensitivity. When the signal wheel 7 rotates one circle, the signal generator 4 outputs a voltage pulse signal equal to the number of blades 8 to the ECU. The ECU can calculate the engine speed based on the relationship between the number of output signals, the period and the engine speed. In the process of installing the signal wheel 7, the signal wheel 7 is put on the crankshaft 3. At this time, a screw 19 is inserted on the signal wheel 7, and the screw 19 is inserted on the movable plate 13. The position of the movable plate 13 is fixed in the first rod hole 18 of the movable plate 13 and the third rod hole of the signal wheel 7. By unscrewing the screw 19 from the first rod hole 18 of the movable plate 13 and the third rod hole of the signal wheel 7, the screw 19 no longer limits the movable plate 13. Under the action of the first spring 14, the first spring 14 pushes the movable plate 13 to slide into the first plate groove 10 of the crankshaft 3. After one end of the movable plate 13 is inserted into the first plate groove 10 of the crankshaft 3, the movable rod 16 on the movable plate 13 is pushed by the second spring 17. One end of the movable rod 16 slides into the slot 11 of the crankshaft 3, and the movable rod 16 is stuck in the slot 11, realizing The positioning of the movable plate 13 and the positioning of the movable plate 13 realize the fixed connection between the signal wheel 7 and the crankshaft 3. Finally, the screw 19 is screwed into the third rod hole of the signal wheel 7, and the second rod hole 25 on the movable plate 13 is aligned with the third rod hole. The screw 19 passes through the third rod hole and the second rod hole 25, realizing the secondary positioning of the movable plate 13 and strengthening the fixed connection between the signal wheel 7 and the crankshaft 3. This structure can ensure the stability of the signal wheel 7 after long-term use by clamping the signal wheel 7, and there will be no deviation between the signal wheel 7 and the crankshaft 3, thereby ensuring the accuracy of speed measurement and helping to improve the stability of the signal wheel 7.
