The invention discloses a method and
system for expanding the effective measurement range of a high-precision
inclinometer, and the method comprises the steps: S1, installing the
inclinometer on a Y-axis rotary table of a double-axis mechanical rotary table, and fixing a mechanical rotary table base on a
target surface; s2, controlling the double-shaft mechanical turntable to adjust the
pose of the
inclinometer, so that the initial inclination angle data of the inclinometer is within the measuring range of the inclinometer; s3, biaxial inclination angle data of the inclinometer and biaxial rotation angle data, measured by the
encoder, of the mechanical rotary table are collected in real time; s4, fusing the inclination angle data and the rotation angle data based on a coordinate transformation model, and calculating an actual inclination angle of the
target surface relative to the horizontal plane; and S5, if the data of the clinometer exceed the preset threshold value, controlling the mechanical turntable to reversely adjust the
pose, and repeating the steps S3 to S4 until dynamic compensation is completed. The precision short plate of the mechanical rotary table is stripped from the
system, so that the whole
system reaches the arc second
level measurement precision, the large measurement range of + / -dozens of degrees allowed by the
physical structure of the mechanical rotary table is obtained, and the performance which cannot be achieved by a traditional single sensor is achieved.
