AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Users face challenges in accurately calibrating the angle and spatial orientation of drilling, turning, or polishing operations without visual guidance, making it difficult to maintain perpendicularity to the object.

Method used

A tilt sensor system utilizing acoustic waves, including a producer, multiple receivers, and analog-to-digital converters, calculates the tilt by measuring time differences between sampled signals to adjust the drill's orientation.

Benefits of technology

The system provides precise tilt adjustments, ensuring perpendicularity to the wall with a resolution significantly better than 5mm, enhancing operational accuracy.

Abstract

A tilt sensor (10), including: an acoustic wave producer (56), for propagating an acoustic wave (70) towards a wall (74); two acoustic wave receivers (16A,16B), each for producing an electronic signal (62A1,62B) from one of acoustic waves (72A,72B) returning from the wall (74); two mathematical convertors (76A,76B), each for converting one of the electronic signals (62A2,62B2) to produce a converted signal (62A1,62B1); and a comparator (78), for obtaining time difference (80) between the converted signals (62A2,62B2).
