TRANSMITTER OF INCLINATION ANGLES OF STRUCTURES Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology, measurement of inclination angles of water-development works. SUBSTANCE: transmitter incorporates two restoring members placed in opposition and each manufactured in the form of arc-shaped flat spring. One end of each spring is fixed in case of transmitter and the other one is anchored in long arm of proper rocker. Transmitter includes two tie-rods joining short and long arms of rockers to lever of pendulum. Low-resistance resistance strain gauges connected by bridge measurement circuit are cemented to internal and external sides of restoring members. With deviation of structure to one or the other side from vertical line pendulum turns from center position and electric signal proportional to inclination angle of structure emerges across output of bridge measurement circuit. EFFECT: enhanced sensitivity and accuracy of measurements. 1 dwg
