Problems solved by technology

The sensitive materials used in these pressure sensors, such as steel and silicon, have high Young's modulus and low sensitivity coefficient, which leads to the weak detection ability of these types of sensors for small pressure, that is, the lower detection limit is higher, up to several kPa
Compared with the traditional pressure sensor, the new type of pressure sensor developed in recent years that uses conductive rubber mixed with carbon or metal particles with a small Young's modulus as the sensitive material has a lower detection limit, about 100Pa, and about 10Pa. Corresponding to a light touch on the human sense of touch, this type of sensor cannot be compared with the lower limit of human natural skin tactile detection
At the same time, the traditional pressure sensor has a single structure; an adhesive such as silver glue is needed to fix the electrode and the sensitive material to reduce the influence of the interface contact resistance, so the electrode cannot move, and the pressure in any direction cannot be measured; it is difficult to meet the requirements of pressure detection. The rapid development of demand in the field

Abstract

The invention provides an aerogel pressure sensor, and belongs to the technical field of sensors. The aerogel pressure sensor is prepared based on an aerogel material, and comprises an aerogel, an electrode in contact with the aerogel, and an electrical signal measuring device that measures a change in an electrical signal between the electrode and the aerogel. The aerogel is an elastic conductiveaerogel. The elastic conductive aerogel material has certain conductivity, good elasticity and a porous network structure. The aerogel pressure sensor provided by the invention not only has a large working range and strong detection capability, but also has a low arrangement cost; and is suitable as a tactile sensor for monitoring human body health signals and for mechanical bionic hands.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to an airgel pressure sensor. Background technique [0002] Pressure is a physical quantity that often needs to be measured or dynamically monitored in production and life. The existing common pressure sensors include metal strain gauge pressure sensors, ceramic pressure sensors, diffused silicon pressure sensors, piezoelectric pressure sensors, and semiconductor pressure sensors. The sensitive materials used in these pressure sensors, such as steel and silicon, have high Young's modulus and low sensitivity coefficient, which leads to the weak detection ability of these types of sensors for small pressure, that is, the lower detection limit is higher, up to several kPa. Compared with the traditional pressure sensor, the new type of pressure sensor developed in recent years that uses conductive rubber mixed with carbon or metal particles with a small Young's modulus as the sensitive...
