G-force measurement system with a horizontally deviated accelerometer
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A G-force measurement apparatus to measure the force of acceleration created by a device due to an acceleration along a horizontal direction, the apparatus comprising:
- an accelerometer; and
a housing to receive the accelerometer,wherein a mounting surface is formed at a bottom portion of the housing to horizontally mount the apparatus onto a horizontal surface of the device along the horizontal direction of the acceleration,wherein the accelerometer is disposed in the housing, on a horizontal plane surface with respect to the mounting surface,wherein the accelerometer is horizontally deviated from the horizontal direction of the acceleration by a predetermined angle (θ
), so that the accelerometer measures a deviated acceleration along a direction that is horizontally deviated from the horizontal direction of the acceleration by the predetermined angle (θ
), andfurther wherein the G-force is obtained by dividing the measured deviated acceleration by cos (e) and multiplying the result by a mass of the device.

Abstract
An acceleration measuring device to offset the limiting factors associated with the maximum acceleration an accelerometer can measure by attaching the device onto a mount system pre-calibrated to a specified angle relative to the horizontal axis of the object on which the system is mounted on.
