Rotary Angle Determination Without Dedicated Sensors

The patent extracts the rotary angle detection function from a dedicated rotary angle sensor and relocates it to the existing vibration sensor system. By processing vibration signal phases, the system obtains rotary angle information without requiring separate angle sensing components, thereby reducing part count while maintaining measurement precision.

The vibration sensor serves multiple functions: it detects both vibration magnitude and phase information. The phase information is then utilized to determine rotary angle position, making the vibration sensor a multi-functional component that eliminates the need for dedicated angle sensors.

The patent replaces expensive rotary angle sensors with cheaper vibration sensors that already exist in the balancing apparatus. The vibration sensors are standard components used for imbalance detection, and by repurposing them for angle detection through phase analysis, the system avoids additional costly components.

The patent substitutes mechanical/optical rotary angle sensors with an electronic signal processing approach. Instead of using physical sensors to detect angle position, the system uses electronic analysis of vibration signal phases to compute rotary angle information, reducing hardware costs.

The patent merges the rotary angle detection function with the existing vibration measurement system. By combining angle detection and vibration measurement into a single integrated process using phase analysis, the system reduces overall complexity while maintaining accurate rotary angle data association.

The vibration sensor system performs self-service by generating rotary angle information from its own measurement signals. The phase information inherent in the vibration data is processed to provide angle positioning, making the system self-sufficient without external angle sensors.
