| description | This article introduces a high-precision vertical pendulum tiltmeter with rapid deployment capability to improve the observation efficiency, practicality, and reliability of geophysical site tilt observation instruments. The system consists of a pendulum body, a triangular platform, a locking pendulum motor, a sealed cover, a ratio measurement bridge, a high-precision ADC, and an embedded data acquisition unit. The sensing unit adopts a vertical pendulum system suspended by a cross spring and a differential capacitance bridge measurement circuit, which can simultaneously measure two orthogonal directions of ground tilt. The pendulum is installed on a short baseline triangular platform, sealed as a whole with the platform, and equipped with a locking pendulum motor. When the pendulum is locked and packaged, it can withstand a 2 m free fall impact, with high reliability and easy use. It can be quickly deployed without the need for professional technicians. This article analyzes its various performance and technical indicators based on its application in the rapid deployment of the Zeketai seismic station in Xinjiang. It is of great significance for emergency response, mobile observation, base detection, anomaly verification, and other applications of ground tilt. |
