Abstract

This Electromagnetic metal piece detection sensor, having high sensitivity even under high humidity and dust density, using LVDT was investigated. Metal detection characteristics using phase detection method, for 3 frequencies covering ELF and LF band, were experimentally measured. It was found that the sensitivity for metal and animal food, in which metal piece was included, was exponentially increased as frequency increased. Reducing cutoff frequency of LPF after PD was found to be effective to proportionally increase sensitivity. Also the sensitivity of metal piece detection was enhanced by optimizing BPF bandwidth and SNR. Metal piece detection limit using available ferrous test samples was found to be 0.7mm diameter from the experiment using 50kHz, in ELF band, which was known to have better selectivity to animal food. is an example of ABSTRACT format.

습기와 먼지가 많은 장소에서도 내환경성을 가지면서 고감도로 미세 금속편 감지가 가능한 전자장 방식 선형가변차동변압기를 이용한 금속감지 방식에 대하여 연구하였다. 초장파에서 장파에 걸친 3개 주파수 대역에서 위상검파 방식을 사용하여 각 주파수별 금속감지 특성을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 주파수가 증가하면 금속감지 및 금속편이 포함되는 동물성 식품에 대한 감도는 기하급수적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 위상검파 후단의 저역통과필터의 대역폭을 축소하여 감도를 비례하여 증가시킬 수 있었고, 대역통과필터 대역폭과 신호대잡음비를 최적화하여 철 시편에 대한 감지 감도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 시험용 철 시편을 사용한 감지 감도 한계는 동물성 식품에 대한 변별력이 좋은 50kHz 초장파 대역에서 최저 지름 0.7mm의 철 시편까지 금속감지가 가능함을 보여주었다.
