Sensors are ubiquitous in daily life, but many people are unaware of where they are used. Today, let's take a look!
Sensors are devices that convert non electrical physical quantities into easily usable electrical signals, and they are the "sensory organs" of modern information technology. Compared with human sensory organs, it has great advantages, which is why it is widely used in various fields of our production and life, playing a very important role.
Automobiles and Sensors
At present, the application of sensors in automobiles and the measurement of related parameters such as fuel remaining. Sensors are no longer limited to driving speed, driving distance, and engine rotation speed due to the increasing number of car traffic accidents and the harm of cars to the environment in some new facilities.
Such as car airbag systems, anti-theft devices, anti-skid control systems, anti lock braking devices, electronic transmission control devices, exhaust circulation devices, electronic fuel injection devices, and car "black boxes" have all been practically applied. It can be predicted that with the development of automotive electronics technology and automotive safety technology, the application of sensors in the automotive field will become more widespread.
Sensors and household appliances
Sensors are commonly used in modern household appliances. Sensors have been widely used in electronic stoves, automatic rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, electronic water heaters, hot air heaters, air dryers, alarms, electric irons, fans, game consoles, electronic mosquito repellents, washing machines, dishwashers, cameras, refrigerators, color televisions, video recorders, tape recorders, radios, record players, and home theaters.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, there is a strong demand for improving the functionality and automation level of household appliances. To meet these requirements, high-precision sensors capable of detecting analog quantities must be used first to obtain accurate control information, which can then be controlled by microcomputers to make the use of household appliances more convenient, safe, and reliable, while reducing energy consumption and creating a comfortable living environment for more households.
Sensors and Environmental Protection
At present, global air pollution, water quality pollution, and noise have seriously disrupted the ecological balance of the earth and the environment we rely on for survival. This situation has attracted the attention of countries around the world. Various environmental monitoring instruments made from sensors are playing a positive role in protecting the environment.
So sensors also play an important role in meteorology, an indispensable component, and play a crucial role in daily life.
