1. Basic Principles of Frequency Measurement

Frequency refers to the number of times an event occurs within a certain period, commonly measured in Hertz (Hz), which indicates the number of occurrences per second. For periodic signals such as vibrations, the frequency can be calculated from the signal's period, i.e., frequency = 1/period.

2. Working Principle of Triaxial Acceleration Sensors

Triaxial acceleration sensors can measure the acceleration of an object in three directions and thereby calculate its motion state. The fundamental principle involves utilizing the inertia of a mass under acceleration, converting the inertial quantity into an electrical signal output. They can be categorized into piezoelectric type and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) type.

Inner Mongolia Deming Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a wireless monitoring management system. The working principle of piezoelectric sensors relies on the piezoelectric effect of crystals, where applying pressure to the crystal generates an electric charge. When the crystal is subjected to acceleration, the mass and elasticity within the crystal undergo minute changes, causing the piezoelectric crystal to produce a charge. Measuring these charge values allows for the determination of the acceleration magnitude.

MEMS-type sensors, on the other hand, employ micro-electromechanical technology to convert tiny vibrations and deformations into electrical signal outputs. Their structure primarily consists of a mass block, support structure, and sensing electrodes. When the mass block is subjected to acceleration, it undergoes slight displacement, and the sensing electrodes measure the resulting changes in charge value, thereby obtaining the acceleration magnitude.

3. Data Processing Methods

When using triaxial acceleration sensors to measure frequency, data processing is necessary to obtain accurate measurement results. Common methods include Fourier transform and autocorrelation function analysis.

Fourier transform is a method of converting time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals. By performing a Fourier transform on the signal, it can be decomposed into a series of fundamental frequency components, and then the frequency information of the signal can be obtained by processing these components.

Autocorrelation function analysis utilizes the autocorrelation coefficients of the signal at different time delays to calculate the frequency. Specifically, by computing the cross-correlation function between signals and then identifying periodic cross-correlation peaks, the period information of the signal can be obtained, thereby calculating the signal's frequency.

The core function of wireless triaxial acceleration sensors is to measure acceleration, which is a physical quantity describing changes in an object's velocity. They can precisely capture dynamic changes in linear motion or rotation.

Wireless triaxial acceleration sensors include micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, wireless signal modules, power management units, etc., enabling the detection of acceleration along three perpendicular axes, accurately measuring and transmitting motion data.

3. Application of Wireless Technology in Sensors

Utilizing wireless technologies (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) for data transmission enhances the flexibility and applicability of wireless triaxial acceleration sensors, allowing users to remotely receive and analyze data.

4. Data Acquisition and Processing Process

The raw acceleration data captured by wireless triaxial acceleration sensors is processed through built-in or external data processing units, including data filtering, amplification, and digitization, to facilitate further analysis.

5. Power Management and Endurance

Efficient power management systems ensure that wireless triaxial acceleration sensors maximize battery life without sacrificing performance. Some sensors also include power-saving modes to extend usage time.

Triaxial acceleration sensors can measure the acceleration of an object in three directions and thereby calculate its motion state. When measuring frequency, Fourier transform or autocorrelation function analysis can be used for computation to obtain accurate measurement results. The applications of these methods are extensive, ranging from industrial automation control to aerospace, medical, and sports fields. Triaxial wireless vibration sensors are a new generation of vibration sensors based on wireless sensor networks, ideal for equipment safety monitoring. Wireless vibration sensors acquire real-time acceleration signals and calculate standard vibration quantities such as velocity (vibration intensity) and displacement through acceleration, while simultaneously collecting temperature data and transmitting it via wireless channels. Wireless data transmission controllers receive the device's wireless signals and convert the data through Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G networks for transmission to cloud servers. The wireless vibration online monitoring software system running on the servers provides real-time data display, trend analysis, historical data management, and reporting functions, issuing alerts in cases of abnormal or excessive vibrations. Triaxial acceleration, triaxial velocity, triaxial displacement, temperature, tilt angle (which can indicate whether the sensor has fallen, etc.), and equipment rotational speed (strongest spectral frequency and amplitude) can fully reflect the vibration state.
