01 Principle of Inclination Sensor
Firstly, we will take you into the "inner world" of the inclination sensor to see how it works. Inclination Sensor, as the name suggests, is a sensor used to measure the tilt angle of an object in a gravity field. The principle is generally divided into two categories:
The first type is the more traditional approach, which uses the fundamental principle of pendulum, commonly found in nature. Using a pendulum is to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, measure the rotating angle of the rotating shaft, and thus obtain the inclination angle of the measured object. The angle of the rotation axis can be read by a potentiometer, a contactless potentiometer, an encoder etc. various method.
The second type is to use acceleration sensors to measure the components of gravity acceleration in the X, Y, and Z axes, and obtain the inclination angle of the measured object through calculation algorithms. The current relatively new MEMS technology MEMS chip is one of them. The MEMS chips measure acceleration through a micro beam structure on the chip and capacitance difference. The main internal structure of MEMS chips can be simply understood as consisting of a fixed electrode and an elastic electrode connected to a spring. When the sensor tilts, the relative position between the elastic electrode and the fixed electrode changes, resulting in a change in the capacitance between the two electrodes. The measurement of the tilt value is achieved by calculating the capacitance difference. It has the characteristics of small size, high sensitivity, high reliability, and long-life expectancy.
