Detailed Description

The invention is further explained below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 6, a passive wireless wind speed sensor based on a flexible inductive structure includes a reading end, a sensor end, and a windtunnel support plate 8. The sensor terminal comprises a first planarspiral inductor 3, a second planarspiral inductor 2, and aflexible substrate 4. Theflexible substrate 4 is rectangular, and the first planarspiral inductor 3 and the second planarspiral inductor 2 are located on the front surface of theflexible substrate 4 and located at the upper half part and the lower half part respectively. A plurality of throughholes 7 are formed in theflexible substrate 4, and the first planarspiral inductor 3 and the second planarspiral inductor 2 are connected in series through alead 5 which penetrates through the throughholes 7 and is positioned on the reverse side of the substrate to form a loop. Theflexible substrate 4 is partially attached to one surface of the windtunnel support plate 8, and the plane center of the first planarspiral inductor 3 is over against the end position of the windtunnel support plate 8 and serves as a sensitive element to deform when being affected by wind. The substrate where the second planarspiral inductor 2 is located is supported by the windtunnel support plate 8, and does not deform when being subjected to wind.

The reading end comprises a third planarspiral inductor 1, and the third planarspiral inductor 1 is fixed on the other surface of the windtunnel support plate 8 and is opposite to the second planarspiral inductor 2. The third planarspiral inductor 1 and the second planarspiral inductor 2 keep near magnetic field coupling so as to realize wireless transmission of energy and data between the reading end and the sensor end, no power supply is arranged in the sensor end, and the two ends are connected in a wireless way. The output end of the third planarspiral inductor 1 is connected with the LCR tester.

The detection method of the speed sensor comprises the following steps:

the side structures of the wind speed sensor are shown in fig. 4 and 5 when no wind exists or wind exists; the third planarspiral inductor 1 and the second planarspiral inductor 4 on the lower half part of the sensor end are fixed through the windtunnel support plate 8, a certain distance is reserved between the third planarspiral inductor 1 and the second planarspiral inductor 4, the relative position is kept unchanged, a sensor end sensitive element, namely a flexible inductor structure, is vertically faced to the wind direction, the lower half part of the first planarspiral inductor 3 is supported and fixed through the windtunnel support plate 8, when the flexible substrate is bent by wind, the projection area of the inductor on the plane can be reduced, and therefore the inductance value is reduced. When wind blows over the sensor, the equivalent inductance change of theport 6 of the reading end is detected through the LCR tester, as shown in fig. 6, the coupling inductance structure in the circuit is equivalent to a T-shaped structure according to a mutual inductance circuit formula, and the inductance change of the flexible inductance L3 at the sensor end is reversely pushed through the equivalent inductance of the port ab measured through the LCR tester to measure the wind speed.
