Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of displacement sensors, in particular to a short-stroke high-precision linear displacement sensor. Background Art
[0002] The function of a linear displacement sensor is to convert linear mechanical displacement into an electrical signal. To achieve this effect, a variable resistor slide is usually placed at a fixed position on the sensor, and different resistance values are measured by the displacement of the slider on the slide. The sensor slide is connected to a steady-state DC voltage, allowing a small current of microamperes to flow through it. The voltage between the slider and the starting end is proportional to the length of the slider movement.
[0003] Displacement is measured through resistance changes, and sensor output is achieved through changes in voltage signals. It has the advantages of high reliability, precise positioning, compact structure, long service life, and low price. However, there are still some shortcomings. This device is a traditional reed switch type, so the measurement distance will be limited by the built-in rod, resulting in a short travel range of the measured object. At the same time, the long-term tension and compression of the internal spring can easily cause structural deformation, affecting the service life of the equipment and measurement accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a short-stroke high-precision linear displacement sensor to address the existing technical defects and solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: a short-stroke high-precision linear displacement sensor, comprising a PCB circuit board, the PCB circuit board comprising an excitation coil, a first induction coil and a second induction coil, wherein the first induction coil and the second induction coil are arranged side by side on the same plane, and the excitation coil is arranged around the outside of the first induction coil and the second induction coil.
[0006] Furthermore, the first induction coil and the second induction coil are respectively provided with a first metal target block and a second metal target block, and the first metal target block and the second metal target block are provided on the mobile carrier and are arranged side by side on the same plane.
[0007] Furthermore, the first metal target block and the second metal target block respectively correspond to a single conductive coupling segment.
[0008] Furthermore, the first induction coil and the second induction coil correspond to a single-cycle signal and a multi-cycle signal, respectively. The single-cycle signal has low accuracy and is used as an index signal, while the multi-cycle signal has high accuracy. The index signal is used to determine the period segment in which the multi-cycle signal is located. Each period segment is calibrated separately to avoid the problem of poor coil consistency. The calibration parameters of the corresponding period segment are retrieved separately to measure and calculate the position of the mobile carrier.
[0009] Furthermore, the mobile carrier is equipped with a travel slide.
[0010] Furthermore, the PCB circuit board cover is provided with a protective shell, and the protective shell is provided with an electrical connector.

[0018] The following is a non-limiting detailed description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with preferred embodiments and their accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a short-stroke high-precision linear displacement sensor, including a PCB circuit board 1, the PCB circuit board 1 includes an excitation coil 2, a first induction coil 3 and a second induction coil 4, wherein the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 are arranged side by side on the same plane, and the excitation coil 2 is arranged around the outside of the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4.
[0020] It should be noted that there can be one or two excitation coils 2. When there is one excitation coil 2, the excitation coil 2 is arranged around the outside of the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 at the same time; when there are two excitation coils 2, there is an excitation coil 2 around the outside of the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 respectively.
[0021] The first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 are respectively provided with a first metal target block 5 and a second metal target block 6 . The first metal target block 5 and the second metal target block 6 are provided on a mobile carrier 7 and are arranged side by side on the same plane.
[0022] The first metal target block 5 and the second metal target block 6 respectively correspond to a single conductive coupling segment, and the first metal target block 5 and the second metal target block 6 are isolated by insulating materials.
[0023] The first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 correspond to a single-cycle signal and a multi-cycle signal, respectively. The single-cycle signal has low accuracy and is used as an index signal, while the multi-cycle signal has high accuracy. The index signal is used to determine the period segment in which the multi-cycle signal is located. Each period segment is calibrated separately to avoid the problem of poor coil consistency. The calibration parameters of the corresponding period segments are retrieved separately to measure and calculate the position of the mobile carrier 7, and the position accuracy is higher.
[0024] The mobile carrier 7 is equipped with a travel slide 8 .
[0025] The PCB circuit board 1 is covered with a protective shell 9 , and an electrical connector 10 is provided on the protective shell 9 .
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the first induction coil 3 corresponds to the output signal S1, which is a single-cycle signal, and the second induction coil 4 corresponds to the output signal S2, which is a multi-cycle signal with high precision and requires an index signal to obtain the absolute position.
[0027] During the equipment testing phase, an external wire is connected to the interior of the electrical connector 10, and the data transmission end of the device is connected to the receiving peripheral. The excitation coil 2 inputs a two-way alternating signal into the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4, respectively. The period values of the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 are set to be mutually prime. Under this condition, the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 have different period values. When the mobile carrier 7 moves on the travel slide 8, it simultaneously drives the first metal target block 5 and the second metal target block 6 to move. At this time, the induced voltage of the first induction coil 3 and the second induction coil 4 begins to change. The distance moved by the mobile carrier 7 is calculated based on the collected voltage values.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or that some of the technical features may be replaced with equivalents.
