Publication number: 20240302156Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for a sensing deformation in a surface are disclosed herein. An example device may include a support unit including a first frame and a second frame. A first end of the first frame and a first end of the second frame are mechanically coupled to the surface. The sensing device includes a pin joint that mechanically couples the first frame to the second frame, such that a first relative movement between the first end of the first frame and the first end of the second frame is amplified to a second relative movement between a second end of the first frame and a second end of the second frame. The sensing device includes a sensor that senses the second relative movement between the second end of the first frame and the second end of the second frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Fan YANG, Jun WANG, Yu HU, Houyong WANG, Wu CHEN
