Stability Test and Analysis of Tilt Sensor
  • As a kind of angle measuring instrument, tilt sensor is widely used to measure the vertical angle of missile launching guide rail and the attitude measurement of engineering equipment.
    In practical applications, the measurement focus of inclinometer sensor is stability measurement, so improving the stability of inclinometer sensor measurement becomes the most important thing. Because the external temperature has a great influence on the stability of the sensor, we focus on the test and comparative analysis of the working stability of the two tilt sensors in the field environment.
    During the test, two inclinometer sensors using the same accelerometer were selected in the same field environment, and their starting characteristics, static stability and dynamic following were tested. Experimental data of the two sensors were collected and compared.

    1. Sensor stability test
    In the stability test of tilt sensor, according to the use of the tilt sensor on the installed equipment, this paper focuses on the test of the start-up characteristics, dynamic following and static stability of the tilt sensor. The measurement accuracy of the two inclinometer sensors selected for testing in this paper is 0.016°, and the inclination Angle of the test equipment is 60°. Before starting, the inclination sensor is in the horizontal state. The two tilt sensors selected during the test are named Sensor A and Sensor B.

    1.1 Test Purpose
    After a series of tests, the start-up, dynamic following and steady-state characteristics of the inclinometer sensor are obtained, which are easy to form charts for analysis.
    1.2 Test Equipment
    The two inclinometer sensors selected in this paper are finished products, which are applied to the mechanical equipment to be tested as test equipment.
    1.3 Test Environment
    Because the test data obtained by the two sensors needs to be compared, the test environment of the two sensors is placed in the same place at the same time, that is, the test equipment is placed at the site where the device is used.
    1.4 Test Platform
    The tests were mainly conducted on two vertical devices. In the test process, firstly, the selected two inclinometer sensors are installed in the installation position of the test equipment and installed according to the sensor instructions; After that, power and communication checks are carried out on the inclination sensors to ensure that the two sensors can work normally. Finally, the test is carried out according to the test steps, and the output data in the whole process of sensor test is recorded.
    1.5 Test Content
    This paper mainly tests the starting characteristics, dynamic following and steady state characteristics of the two tilt sensors, that is, the normal use process of the test equipment. Since the entire process of using the sensor on the test device is tested, the test will be divided into three phases and conducted several times.
    1.6 Test Procedure
    The whole test process is relatively simple, and the test step flow is shown in Figure 2.
