Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there are three main deficiencies in sensors at home and abroad. First, it is difficult for tiny pressure sensors to have a large detection range, and the sensor fails under large tactile pressure, which limits the application scenarios of the sensor; second, high-sensitivity sensors are often accompanied by complex And the high-cost manufacturing process introduces more uncertainties in the manufacturing process, thereby limiting large-scale promotion and application; third, the sensor depends on environmental variables such as temperature

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof, a sensing system and flexible electronic skin. The flexible pressure sensor comprises a first electrode layer and asecond electrode layer which are oppositely arranged in parallel; a first dielectric layer is arranged on the inner side of the first electrode layer and is provided with array type first tip structures, and a second dielectric layer is arranged on the inner side of the second electrode layer and is provided with array type second tip structures; when a flexible pressure tactile sensor is pressed, the first tip structures are extruded by at least two adjacent second tip structures; and the top ends of the first tip structures make contact with the horizontal plane of a second planar excitation electrode, and the top ends of the second tip structures are suspended. According to the structure, by changing materials and designing and arranging the dielectric layer structures, the defect thatthe recovery time is long due to the viscous effect is overcome, and higher detection sensitivity and higher response speed are achieved.
