Tilt angle sensors are often used in horizontal measurement of systems. Tilt angle sensors can be classified into three types based on their working principles: solid pendulum, liquid pendulum, and gas pendulum. They can also be classified into single axis, dual axis, and three-axis tilt angle sensors based on their measurement axes. Compared to sensors such as pressure and temperature, the application of tilt angle sensors may be unfamiliar to many people. Below are a few application examples to illustrate.
Application of tilt angle sensor in agricultural dump truck
There is a bucket shaped container installed on the body of the dump truck, which can be flipped over for easy unloading. Suitable for short distance transportation of various bulk materials such as construction, road building, concrete, sand and gravel, earthwork, coal, ore, etc., usually with mechanical or automatic bucket functions.
The dump truck consists of a hopper and a walking frame. The hopper is installed at the front of the tire walking frame, and is tilted and unloaded by the gravity of the material inside the hopper or the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder. In order to adapt to the uneven roads on the construction site, avoid material scattering, and achieve accurate and rapid unloading and effortless operation, as well as good off-road performance and strong climbing ability, it is required that the driving speed of the dump truck should not be too fast. Due to the fact that dump trucks usually operate in environments with certain slopes, a large number of dump truck manufacturers have installed a dual axis tilt sensor on the vehicle and designed dedicated display instruments to show the angle measured by the sensor, providing reliable reference data for safe driving for drivers. Moreover, when the dump truck is driving on a relatively horizontal road, the tilt angle sensor can also measure the current tilt angle during driving, providing accurate reference data for minor changes in the vehicle structure.
Application of Tilt Angle Sensor in Shield Machine
Shield tunneling machine, also known as shield tunneling machine, is a specialized engineering machinery for tunnel excavation. The basic working principle of shield tunneling machine is a cylindrical steel component that advances along the axis of the tunnel and excavates the soil during the process. The shell of this cylindrical component is commonly referred to as a shield, which provides temporary support for the excavated and unlined tunnel section. It not only bears the pressure of the surrounding soil layers, but also the groundwater pressure and keeps the groundwater outside. Excavation, excavation, lining and other operations are generally carried out under the cover of the shield machine. Widely used in tunnel engineering such as subway, railway, highway, municipal, water and electricity.
However, it is very difficult to ensure that the shield machine excavates along a predetermined trajectory during its operation. Its control system integrates optical, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, sensing, and information technologies, and has functions such as excavation and cutting of soil, transportation of soil debris, assembly of tunnel lining, measurement guidance and correction, involving multiple disciplines such as geology, civil engineering, machinery, mechanics, hydraulic, electrical, control, and measurement. Among them, the inclination sensor is an important part of this control system. The inclination sensor can not only measure the absolute inclination angle of the shield machine body, but also calculate the deviation distance and other data through the inclination angle, playing an irreplaceable role in correcting the guidance. In addition, the control system composed of inclination sensors, other sensors, and motors makes the shield machine more automated, labor-saving, and faster in construction speed.
Application of Tilt Angle Sensor in Plate Conveyor
Plate conveyor is a conveyor that uses a series of Flat noodles fixed on the traction chain to transport materials in the horizontal or inclined direction, and uses a single steel plate articulated into a ring belt as the traction of the conveyor. It is composed of driving mechanism, tensioning device, traction chain, Flat noodles, driving and steering sprocket, rack and other parts. It has the characteristics of wide applicability, large conveying capacity, high traction chain strength, flexible arrangement of conveying lines, and stable and reliable operation. Widely used in industries such as metallurgy, coal, chemical, power, and machinery manufacturing.
Plate conveyors can be transported under conditions of larger inclination angles and smaller bending radii, thus providing greater flexibility in their arrangement. The inclination angle of the plate conveyor can reach 30-35 °, and the bending radius is generally about 5-8m. Due to the different inclination angles that each model of conveyor can achieve, the inclination angle of the conveyor is measured during installation, and the requirements are very strict. Once the maximum allowable inclination angle is exceeded, it will have a significant impact on the conveyor's conveying capacity. With the development of the sensor industry, tilt sensors have also begun to be used in the installation process of conveyors instead of relying solely on experience, greatly improving the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of installation.
