[0002] The inclinometer is a digital display, mobile inclinometer that uses an electrical horizontal inclinometer as its sensitive element. It can be used to observe horizontal changes within soil masses such as earth-rock dams, embankments, rock slopes, building foundation pits, and underground construction projects. It is an essential precision monitoring instrument for projects such as railways, ports, water conservancy projects, and high-rise buildings.

[0003] Most existing inclinometers are integrated structures in which a sensor and a guide rod are fixed together. When one end fails, the entire structure needs to be replaced.

[0004] To ensure a small diameter, the existing inclinometer has a MEMS PCB (microelectromechanical system) installed vertically inside the inclinometer. However, with this arrangement, the sensor pair inside the PCB can only detect the horizontal plane of the detection point in one direction, while the other direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the detection point. When the orientation of the detection point needs to be detected, the inclinometer rod needs to be rotated, resulting in inconvenient operation and inaccurate detection. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a MEMS inclinometer, comprising an electronic chamber 1 and a guide rod 2, wherein the electronic chamber 1 and the guide rod 2 are detachably connected;

[0030] A MEMS micro-electromechanical system is provided inside the electronic warehouse 1, and the MEMS micro-electromechanical system includes a first PCB board 103 and a second PCB board 104. The first PCB board 103 is used to obtain the tilt angle signal of the detection point, and the second PCB board 104 is used to process and transmit the signal. The first PCB board 103 is parallel to the bottom of the electronic warehouse 1, and the second PCB board 104 is perpendicular to the first PCB board 103 and is arranged on the first PCB board 103.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, first PCB 103 is parallel to the bottom of electronics compartment 1. After electronics compartment 1 enters the detection channel, detection of a detection point is performed in both the X and Y directions, achieving precise measurement of the tilt of the detection horizontal plane. This solves the problem of incomplete detection in the prior art of component boards arranged parallel to the electronics compartment housing. Component boards arranged parallel to the electronics compartment housing have a Y direction perpendicular to the plane of the detection point, making it impossible to fully detect the detection point in front of, behind, and around.

[0032] The core sensing element is set on the first PCB board 103, and the other components are set on the second PCB. The second PCB board 104 is parallel to the shell of the electronic warehouse 1. The setting position has no effect on the detection accuracy. There are not many components set on the first PCB board 103, and it only needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the existing electronic warehouse 1, which will not affect the use of the inclinometer rod. Example 2

[0033] This embodiment provides a MEMS inclinometer based on Example 1. This embodiment differs from Example 1 in that a sensor element is provided on a first PCB 103, and a signal processing circuit, a communication module, and a power supply module are provided on a second PCB 104. The first PCB 103 and the second PCB 104 are combined to form a MEMS micro-electromechanical system to achieve pipeline detection.

[0034] The electronic warehouse 1 includes an external core seat 101 and an outer shell 102, as well as an internal first PCB board 103 and a second PCB board 104. The core seat 101 is used to place the first PCB board 103, and the second PCB board 104 is vertically installed on the first PCB board 103. The outer shell 102 is threadedly connected to the core seat 101, and a wire outlet hole 108 is provided on the end of the outer shell 102 away from the core seat 101. The wire outlet hole 108 is used to pass the connecting cables inside the electronic warehouse 1.

[0035] A mounting hole 105 for connecting to the guide rod 2 is provided at the bottom of the core seat 101, and a mounting cone 203 for cooperating with the mounting hole 105 is provided on the guide rod 2. The mounting cone 203 cooperates with the mounting hole 105 to realize a detachable connection between the guide rod 2 and the electronic warehouse 1. When the electronic warehouse 1 is scrapped, it can be replaced with an electronic warehouse 1 of the same specification and continued to be used. When the guide rod 2 is scrapped, it can be replaced with a guide rod 2 of the same specification and continued to be used, saving costs.

[0036] like Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, one end of the core seat 101 is used to prevent the hole position of the first PCB board, and the other end is provided with a mounting hole 105 connected to the conduit, and a fastening screw hole 107 is provided on the side wall of the core seat 101 and penetrates into the mounting hole 105. A plurality of fastening screw holes are evenly spaced on the side wall of the core seat. By arranging a fastening bolt in the fastening screw hole 107, one end of the fastening bolt rests on the mounting cone 203 on the guide rod in the mounting hole 105, thereby achieving a stable connection between the guide rod and the electronic compartment.

[0037] Tenons 106 are provided on the two diagonal sides of the mounting hole 105 of the core seat 101, and mortises 204 are provided on the two diagonal sides of the mounting cone 203 of the guide rod 2. When the mounting cone 203 is installed into the mounting hole 105, the tenon 106 and the mortise are in contact and fit. The contact and fit between the tenon 106 and the mortise 204 restricts the rotation of the core seat 101 and the guide rod 2, which can be used for positioning the electronic compartment 1 and the guide rod 2 during installation, and is more convenient and quick to install.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, two slots 201 are provided on the guide rod 2, which pass through the guide rod 2 to the left and right. A connecting rod for mounting pulleys is provided in the slot 201. A pulley 202 is provided at each end of the connecting rod. The connecting rod can rotate around the connection to adjust the angle between the two pulleys 202 at both ends and the guide rod 2, so as to make the guide rod 2 contact with the inner wall of the conduit when it is extended into the pipeline, so as to slowly descend.

[0039] When in use, the inclinometer catheter is installed on the hole to be measured, and the direction of the pulley 202 on the guide rod 2 is adjusted so that it contacts the inner wall of the inclinometer catheter after the guide rod 2 is inserted into the inclinometer catheter. The guide rod 2 is slowly lowered, and the electronic chamber 1 enters the inclinometer catheter to perform detection in the hole. The measured data is transmitted to the device through the cable at the other end of the electronic chamber 1 for calculation to obtain the detection result.

Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.
