[0002] An accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration. It typically consists of a mass, a damper, an elastic element, a sensing element, and adaptive circuitry. During acceleration, the sensor measures the inertial force acting on the mass and uses Newton's second law to obtain the acceleration value. Depending on the sensing element, common accelerometers include capacitive, inductive, strain gauge, piezoresistive, and piezoelectric types.
[0003] Because current accelerometers are reused in field applications, they may become damaged after a period of use. However, it is not known whether the sensor is damaged during deployment. It is very time-consuming to replace the sensor when abnormal data is found during subsequent testing. Utility Model Content

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] See Figure 1-8 This utility model discloses an acceleration sensor measurement auxiliary device 1, which includes a housing 14, a tuning fork 13, a striking rod 11, and a rotating assembly 12. The rotating assembly 12 is connected to the striking rod 11. The acceleration sensor 2 to be detected is mounted on the tuning fork 13. The tuning fork 13, the striking rod 11, and the rotating assembly 12 are disposed inside the housing 14. The tuning fork 13 and the striking rod 11 are mounted on one side surface of the housing 14. The rotating assembly 12 provides driving force to the striking rod 11. The striking rod 11 strikes the tuning fork 13. The acceleration sensor 2 to be detected detects the vibration of the tuning fork 13.
[0038] Specifically, a cavity is provided inside the outer casing 14. The tuning fork 13, striking rod 11, and rotating assembly 12 are located on the top of this cavity. Additionally, the outer casing 14 has a sliding door 143 with an opening corresponding to the location of the sliding door 143. The sliding door 143 slides through the opening, thus blocking it. The striking rod 11 is positioned near the tuning fork 13. The rotating assembly 12 drives the striking rod 11 to rotate, thereby striking the tuning fork 13. By rotating the rotating assembly 12, a driving force is provided to the striking rod 11, causing it to rotate and strike the tuning fork 13. The tuning fork 13 vibrates. The accelerometer 2 detects the vibration of the tuning fork 13 and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is collected and analyzed by the testing equipment and compared with a standard signal to determine whether the sensor performance is up to standard.
[0039] The rotating assembly 12 includes a fixed base 15, a handwheel 124, a support rod 121, a mounting component 122, an elastic element 125, and a bearing 123. The bearing 123 and the mounting component 122 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support rod 121. The support rod 121 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 122. The support rod 121 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 123. The striking rod 11 is connected to the mounting component 122. The handwheel 124 is fixedly connected to the support rod 121 and is disposed at one end of the support rod 121 connected to the bearing 123. One end of the elastic element 125 is disposed at the end of the rod body 112 away from the striking head 111. The other end of the elastic element 125 is disposed at the fixed base 15, which is fixedly connected to the outer shell 14. The bearing 123 is mounted on the fixed base 15, and the support rod 121 passes through the fixed base 15.
[0040] Specifically, the striking rod 11 includes a striking head 111 and a rod 112. The striking head 111 and an elastic element 125 are respectively located at both ends of the rod 112. The support rod 121 is arranged along the straight line of the central axis of the mounting member 122. The rod 112 passes through the mounting member 122 and is eccentrically positioned. The mounting member 122 is positioned close to the elastic element 125, so that the striking rod 11 can apply a greater force. The handwheel 124 and the mounting member 122 are located at both ends of the support rod 121. The handwheel 124 is located outside the housing 14, and the mounting part 122 and the elastic part 125 are located inside the housing 14. The end of the elastic part 125 away from the rod 112 is fixed in the receiving cavity of the housing 14. The fixed base 15 has an opening in the middle, and the inner diameter of the opening matches the outer diameter of the bearing 123. The fixed base 15 is fixed on the housing 14, and the bearing 123 is mounted on the fixed base 15. The outer ring of the bearing 123 is connected to the fixed base 15, and the inner ring is connected to the support rod 121.
[0041] When the user turns the handwheel 124, the support rod 121 drives the mounting part 122 and the striking rod 11 to rotate. After the striking rod 11 rotates within a certain range, the elastic element 125 is also pulled to a certain length, and the striking head 111 of the striking rod 11 moves away from the tuning fork 13. When the user releases the handwheel 124, the elastic element 125 returns to its original state. Due to inertia, the striking head 111 of the striking rod 11 strikes the tuning fork 13 once, and the tuning fork 13 vibrates. The acceleration sensor 2 detects the acceleration of the vibration of the tuning fork 13.
[0042] In one embodiment, for the striking head 111 to strike the tuning fork 13, the elastic element 125 needs to deform, causing the striking head 111 to move a certain distance away from the tuning fork 13. Then, the handwheel 124 is released, the elastic element 125 returns to its original shape, and the striking head 111 strikes the tuning fork 13. To ensure better test results, it is necessary to ensure that the striking head 111 strikes the tuning fork 13 only once. Therefore, the elastic element 125 is made of a material with high rigidity, enabling it to apply a large tensile force. Meanwhile, the striking rod 11 is positioned... The device needs to ensure that it can only be struck once, so that when the mounting part 122 drives the striking rod 11 to strike the tuning fork 13, a second strike is avoided, ensuring that the vibration is singular and stable. In addition, the elongation of the elastic element 125 exceeds the total length of the rotation path of the support rod 121 driving the striking rod 11, so that the stretching range of the elastic element 125 exceeds the rotation range of the rotating assembly 12, preventing the elastic element 125 from stretching beyond its elastic limit. The deformation of the elastic element 125 does not exceed the elastic limit of the material, and it can completely return to its original shape after the external force is removed.
[0043] Optionally, the elastic element 125 is a spring.
[0044] Optionally, the striking head 111 can strike the tuning fork 13 two or more times. It is necessary to compare the two data points, namely the electrical signal of the acceleration sensor and the vibration of the tuning fork 13 itself detected by the test equipment, in order to determine whether the performance of the acceleration sensor 2 under test is qualified.
[0045] Preferably, the outer casing 14 includes a scale 141 with equidistant graduations. The scale 141 is positioned on the outer casing 14 and can be viewed downwards from the handwheel 124. The scale 141 is located around the handwheel 124, allowing the user to adjust the scale by rotating the handwheel 124, facilitating operation. In this embodiment, the scale 141 has four graduations, but the number of graduations on the scale 141 is not limited to the four specified in this embodiment and can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0046] Preferably, the outer casing 14 is provided with feet 142, which can be attached to a flat surface, making the outer casing 14 more stable when placed on the flat surface.
[0047] Before testing, the accelerometer is attached to and fixed to the tuning fork 13. The tuning fork 13 is connected to the testing equipment, which collects the vibration data of the tuning fork 13 in real time. The accelerometer is also connected to collect the vibration data sensed by the accelerometer. During testing, the handwheel 124 is rotated in direction A (e.g., ...). Figure 4As shown, the handwheel 124 is rotated according to the scale line to perform different gear tests. The handwheel 124 will drive the support rod 121 to move the striking rod 11 and stretch the spring. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the handwheel 124 is released. The spring rebound force drives the striking rod 11 to accurately strike the tuning fork 13, producing a vibration with stable force and frequency. By comparing the vibration of the tuning fork 13 collected in real time with the electrical signal data of the acceleration sensor, it is determined whether the performance of the acceleration sensor is normal.
[0048] This device is easy to operate, requiring only the rotation of handwheel 124 to adjust its position, requiring minimal operator skill and improving testing efficiency. Multiple settings allow for testing different vibration amplitudes. Testing is precise and reliable; the striking force and frequency of each strike by the striking rod 11 are stable, avoiding secondary strikes and ensuring a pure vibration signal for accurate evaluation results. The device boasts high stability; the fixed base 15 and feet 142 work together to ensure stability during testing. It is highly adaptable, compatible with various sizes of tuning forks 13 and sensors to meet diverse testing needs.
