基于触须传感器的风速测量研究

Research on Wind Speed Measurement of Whisker Sensor

动物触须能够很好地感知外部环境,包括气流的信息。借鉴动物触须系统,用PSD作为位置检测元件设计了触须传感器以弥补现有风速测量装置存在的不足,并将其用于风速测量实验。将触须传感器置于不同强度以及不同方向的风速场中进行实验,结果表明,触须传感器不仅能够很好地测量风速的大小,而且在测量风速方向方面也具有很好的效果。

The whiskers of animals are well in mental perception for external environment including information of airflow. Making use of the whisker system of animal as reference, with PSD as the position detection element, the whisker sensor was designed to counteract the disadvantage of existing measuring devices of wind speed. The sensor has been used in experiments of wind speed measurement. The experiments are taken with whisker sensor placing in various wind speed fields of different intensity and direction. The results indicate that the sensor is able to measure the speed and the direction of wind with excellent effects.
