Abstract

The invention relates to an integral soft sensing element with pressure and non-contact gap measuring functions, and belongs to the technical field of sensors. The integral soft sensing element comprises an insulation encapsulation film, a pressure-sensitive film and a plane type eddy current coil film, wherein the insulation encapsulation film is made of polyimide, the pressure-sensitive film layer is made of conducting polymer composite materials, the plane type eddy current coil film consists of a polyimide film and a copper foil coil compounded on the polyimide film, the conducting polymer composite materials are directly vulcanized on the naked copper foil coil to form an integral structure, and the pressure and non-contact gap measurement is realized through obtaining the impedance of the integral structure. The integral sensing element developed by the invention has the advantages that the softness is good, the thickness is small, the process is simple, the cost is low, the pressure measurement and the non-contact gap measurement can be realized only through one set of sensing system, the integral soft sensing element is applicable to the interlayer pressure and gap measurement of narrow and small curved surfaces of industrial equipment, and the key technology can also be applied to the development of multifunction electronic skin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sensors, and in particular relates to a soft sensor preparation and packaging process. Background technique [0002] Many major equipment in the modern military and industrial fields have a narrow curved interlayer structure, and the contact surfaces on both sides of the gap can produce relative movement. In order to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and obtain system status information in time, it is necessary to measure the interlayer pressure and conduct non-contact gap measurement. However, the narrow gap and irregular contact surface bring difficulties to the installation of traditional rigid sensors. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thin and flexible sensor that can be attached to the contact surface smoothly to complete the monitoring of interlayer pressure and non-contact gap measurement. task. [0003] Conductive polymer composite material is a new type of functional material. ...
