Fluidic accelerometer
Abstract
Abstract A FLUIDIC ACCELEROMETER INCLUDING AN ELASTIC FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER SENSITIVE TO ACCELERATIONAL FORCES APPLIED ALONG AN AXIS TRANSVERSE THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER TO CAUSE DEFLECTION OF THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER SO AS TO UNBALANCE A FLUIDIC BRIDGE CIRCUIT WHICH GIVES RISE TO A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE AT PUTPUTS OF THE ACCELEROMETER. THE FLUIDIC BRIDGE CIRCUIT INCLUDES TWO FLOW MATCHED RESTRICTORS AND TWO CONTROL NOZZLES OPERATED BY THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER IN RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATIONAL FORCES APPLIED TO THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER ALONG THE SENSITIVE AXIS THEREOF. MEMBER SENSITIVE TO ACCELERATIONAL FORCES APPLIED ALONG AN AXIS TRANSVERSE THE FLAPPER VALUE MEMBER TO CAUSE DEFLECTION OF THE FLAPPER VALVUE MEMBER SO AS TO UNBALANCE A FLUIDIC BRIDGE CIRCUIT WHICH GIVES RISE TO A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE AT OUTPUTS OF THE ACCELEROMETER. THE FLUIDIC BRIDGE CIRCUIT INCLUDES TWO MATCHED RESTRICTORS AND TWO CONTROL NOZZLES OPERATED BY THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER IN RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATIONAL FORCES APPLIED TO THE FLAPPER VALVE MEMBER ALONG THE SENSITIVE AXIS THEREOF.
