专利摘要:
Electrostatic accelerometer comprising an electrically conducting test weight freely floating in a cage and a system of electrodes located in said cage at the points where the axes of a coordinate tri-rectangular trihedral meet the cage. The electrodes are associated by pairs located along a given coordinate axis and form with the test weight pairs of variable capacitors. Two capacitor bridges including the variable capacitors give the sum and difference of the capacities of these variable capacitors and adder subtractor means gives the individual values of these capacities. The accelerometer further comprises means for calculating the gradients of the measured capacities of a pair of electrodes, means for squaring the positioning control signals relating to said pair of electrodes, and means for multiplying said gradient by said squared signals.

专利说明:

The invention relates to accelerometers in which the acceleration measurement is made on the basis of the effort required to keep the inertial element at rest or feed back to the position defined relative to the device body, in particular to accelerometers where these forces are produced electrostatically, and is aimed at improving them with points of view of their accuracy
The purpose of the invention is to improve the measurement accuracy.
FIGURE shows a block diagram of the accelerometer J H4 of FIG. 2 to determine the position of the inertial element; in fig. Zi 4 - blocks of compensation of the variable component of the inertial element potential; FIG. 5 shows a unit for compensating the constant coagulation potential of the inertial element; in fig (, 6 - computational scheme S
In FIG. 1, the inertial element 1 and accelerometer electrodes are designated. The inertial element is made spherical (in the form of mapaj and floats in the body (not shown; Three pairs of pole electrodes) located in the body together with the measuring element (ball) create a sequence of capacitors (capacitors). Each electrode plays the role of both a positioning electrode and Position Control Electrodes Figure 1 shows both electrodes 2 and 3 in the same pair.

capacities () between the inertial element and the electrodes 2 and 3, as well as the value of (C + C) - C (, where the capacitive value is known.
The difference signal (C, -Cr.) Is fed to circuit 5 to generate position control signals. Position control signals produced by circuit 5f are fed to electrodes 2 and 3. These signals can be either constant or variable.
The value (C, + C ,,) - C, is transmitted to computational circuit 6, which outputs the measured acceleration value to the display unit 7.
Electrode 3 in the accelerometer electrode system is connected to circuit 8 to compensate for variable composition
the inertial element potential. The output of the circuit 8 is connected to the electrodes 9 and 10.
If the position control signal is variable, then a second circuit 1 is necessary to compensate for the variable component of the potential of the inertial element, and this circuit is identical to circuit 8, but operates on a different frequency. Its input is connected to the electrode 12, and the outputs to the electrodes 13 and 14. The vibrating electrode 15 in the electrode system of the accelerometer forms part of the compensation circuit 16 of the inertial element potential. The input of the circuit 16 is connected to the electrodes 2 and 3 of the position detection and control. l position, and the outputs with the same electrodes,
Fig. 2 shows a measurement circuit 4 of a positioning signal, comprising an inertial element (ball) 1 and electrodes 2 and 3, creating capacitances C, and C with ball 1, as well as a part of the housing that is not equipped with electrodes, creating capacitance CQ with a ball, which is much larger than C and C.
The electrodes 2 and 3 are connected by means of capacitors 17 and 18 to the terminals of the secondary winding of the differential transformer 19, To the primary
The winding of the differential transformer is supplied from the alternating voltage source 20 with an angular frequency CO. The middle point 21 of the secondary winding of the differential transformer 19 is connected to one of the secondary winding terminals of the second differential transformer 22. Another secondary winding terminal of the differential transformer 22 is grounded through a capacitor 23 of known capacitance C,, The primary winding of the differential transformer 22 is connected to an AC source 24 with an angular frequency about .
The midpoint 25 of the differential transformer 22 is connected to the input of the operational amplifier 26 with a feedback capacitance C. The output of this operational amplifier is connected to two synchronous detectors 27 and 28, to which signals are received with the ANGULAR frequencies O and co from the respective sources 20 and 2D of alternating voltage.
The signals produced by the output p of the synchronous detector 27, proportional to () t, are fed to the position control signal generation circuit 5, Circuit 5 mainly contains correction element 29 and differential amplifier 30. When the position control signals are variable with the frequency CO, the circuit contains a modulator 31, of which this height is a carrier. The output of the position control signal 5 is connected to the electrodes 2 and 3 via resistors 32 and 33.
The signal arising at the output p, proportional to the value of (C, + C) -C, when the potential V / (o / of the ball at the frequency is zero, is fed to the computational circuit 6.
To eliminate any errors in the measurement of the acceleration introduced by the parasitic capacitances Cpi, Cp, Cp between the electrodes and conductors at the ground potential, and position control are surrounded by protective electrodes 34 and 35, the latter are connected to the screen 36, which also covers alternating sources voltage and transformers and is connected to the midpoint 25 of the secondary winding of the transformer 22 and to one input of the operational amplifier 26.
If e is the amplitude at the secondary terminals of the differential transformers 19 and 22, then the input signals to the position measurement circuit 4 can be written as:

The purpose of schemes 8, 11 and (b is to eliminate these potentials by reducing to zero,
FIG. Figures 3 and 4 show the variable component compensation circuits of the inertial element at frequencies ω (fig. 3) and (0; (figure 4),
The alternating potential of the inertia element is amplified in the operational amplifier, respectively 37 or 38, and detected in the synchronous detector 39 or 40. The detected signal is fed to the integrators 41 or 42, and from there to the modulator 43 or 44. From the output of the modulator 43 or 44, the signal simultaneously on symmetric electrodes - 9 and 10 or 13 and 14.
A synchronous detector 39 and modulator 43 are supplied to the signal at a frequency from the source 24 of alternating voltage. A synchronous detector 40 and modulator 44 receive a reference signal with a frequency CO, which is the frequency of the position control signal, from the modulator 31 (FIG. 2),
Due to the independence of the frequencies co and CO; both operations of zeroing should be carried out by separate circuits, which are shown in Figs 3 and 4, one of which operates at the frequency Ca, and the other at the frequency of it ;.
FIG. 5 shows a circuit compensating the constant component of the potential of the inertial element.
Reducing the constant value of the weakly varying component of the inertial element to zero is similar to that shown in FIG. 3 and 4, except that the measurement of this constant value cannot be carried out using a fixed electrode. A vibro-electrode should be used.
Vibration electrode 15 consists of a piezoelectric (ceramic) element, which is connected to the source 45 with an angular frequency Q. This electrode modulates capacitance C ,,
