Abstract:
Mechanical motion sensing and monitoring is an important component in the field of industrial automation. Rotary motion is one of the most basic forms of mechanical motion, so it is of great significance for the development of the entire industry to realize rotary motion state monitoring. In this paper, a triboelectric rotary motion sensor (TRMS) with variable amplitude differential hybrid electrodes is proposed, and an integrated monitoring system (IMS) is designed to realize real-time monitoring of industrial-grade rotary motion state. First, the operating principle and monitoring characteristics are studied. The experiment results indicate that the TRMS can achieve rotation speed measurement in the range of 10-1000 rpm with good linearity, and the error rate of rotation speed is less than 0.8%. Besides, the TRMS has an angle monitoring range of 360° and its resolution is 1.5° in bidirectional rotation. Finally, the applications of the designed TRMS and IMS prove the feasibility of self-powered rotary motion monitoring. This work further promotes the development of triboelectric sensors (TESs) in industrial application.
