Features: Vocational and Technical College Rule Textbook - Sensors and Applications. The book is divided into 9 chapters and an introduction. It systematically introduces the basic knowledge of sensors and measurement, with a focus on the principles, characteristics, and applications of various types of sensors, including strain-type, pull-type, capacitive, inductive, eddy current, piezoelectric, ultrasonic, Hall-effect, photoelectric, fiber-optic, laser, thermosensitive, gas-sensitive, humidity-sensitive, ion-sensitive, frequency-type, digital encoder, inductive synchronous, magnetic grating, and optical grating sensors. The book also covers new sensitive components such as infrared, ultraviolet, CCD, PSD, and color sensors and their applications. It comprehensively introduces anti-interference techniques, preprocessing methods for sensor signals, data acquisition technology, and intelligent sensors. Additionally, it appropriately discusses the basic composition, principles, and applications of analog measurement instruments, digital detection instruments, intelligent instruments, and automatic testing systems. The book provides numerous practical examples of sensor applications in mechanical quantity detection, thermodynamic quantity detection, and electromechanical equipment, including applications in machine tools, automated production lines, automobiles, household appliances, and practical device manufacturing examples.
With a focus on sensor applications, the book systematically introduces the principles, characteristics, and applications of sensors from an applied perspective, avoiding in-depth theoretical analysis and complex, non-computational, or non-essential formula derivations. It highlights modern sensors and their application methods and examples, offering extensive practical information. The content is rich, novel, and comprehensive; the language is concise, concepts are clear, the structure is rigorous, and the key points are well-defined. The book includes appropriate photographs of actual sensors to enhance visual understanding and realism. Each chapter concludes with relevant exercises for teaching purposes, making it a highly practical and instructional textbook adaptable to economic development, technological progress, and production practices.
This book is the planned textbook for the Electromechanical Technology Application program at higher vocational colleges. It can also serve as a textbook for adult education and vocational training and is suitable for reference by engineering technicians in fields such as automation, electrification, instrumentation, and electrical equipment.
