Problems solved by technology

However, the sensor has a defect of single function. The sensor does not take into account the interference of the signal caused by the volume change of the material caused by the temperature, that is, the temperature will greatly interfere with the accuracy of the detected pressure signal.
In addition, the sensor has not been treated with fabric hydrophobicity, so it cannot meet the complex working environment of the sensor for a long time
Therefore, the effect of the sensor will be greatly reduced in real application scenarios where the temperature and humidity change significantly for a long time.

Embodiment 1

[0065] see figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible fabric-based sensor with multifunctional sensor integration. The flexible fabric-based sensor integrated with multifunctional sensing is obtained by interweaving three sets of mutually independent warp and weft yarn systems composed of three different sensing function yarns; the three sets of mutually independent The warp and weft systems are warp and weft system A composed of pressure sensing functional yarns, warp and weft system B composed of temperature sensing functional yarns, and warp and weft system C composed of humidity sensing functional yarns ; The ends of the pressure sensing functional yarn, the temperature sensing functional yarn, and the humidity sensing functional yarn are all provided with collecting electrodes for collecting the pressure sensing functional yarn, the temperature Sensing functional yarns, signals at both ends of the humidity sensing functional yarns and s...

[0088] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 2, the types of dielectric materials used are different.

[0089] According to the capacitance calculation formula C=εS / d, ε is the dielectric coefficient, S is the electrode area, and d is the electrode distance. In the case of a certain yarn area, in order to increase the capacitance of the sensing unit, it is necessary to increase the dielectric coefficient ε, that is, by changing the ε of the dielectric layer material. The effect of optimizing the overall performance can be achieved by increasing ε.

[0090] In this solution, the elastic medium material is polyurethane; in the temperature-sensitive polymer material added with heat-conducting filler, the heat-conducting filler is graphene, and the temperature-sensitive polymer material is temperature-sensitive rubber; the humidity-sensitive polymer The material is chitosan.

Embodiment 3

[0111] The difference from Example 1 is that in Example 3, the sensory functional yarn is a composite yarn composed of several sensory functional fibers; the sensory functional fiber is a two-component sheath-core structure In the composite fiber, the skin layer is the dielectric material with sensing function, and the core layer is the electrode material.

[0112] After anti-interference treatment and fibers with different sensing functions are compounded into three different functional yarns, the flexible fabrics are woven through three independent warp and weft yarn systems respectively, and a flexible sensor integrated with multifunctional sensors is prepared. Fabric based sensors. The three interwoven but independent sub-sensor systems (pressure sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor) in the flexible fabric-based sensor perform independent functional signal sensing with high stability and do not interfere with each other, and the final signal system Integration for ...

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flexible sensor preparation, in particular to a flexible fabric-based sensor with multifunctional sensor integration and its application. Background technique [0002] Wearable flexible electronic devices, because of their flexibility, light weight, low cost, and portability, are widely used in many fields such as real-time monitoring of human movement and health, and human-computer interaction. However, there are still problems such as low sensitivity and response speed, high detection limit, and narrow detection range, and the basic performance of the device still needs to be improved. In the actual application process, there are also challenges such as stability, low ability to resist environmental interference, and difficulty in large-scale production. To solve these problems, designing and manufacturing a material system with excellent performance and multifunctional sensor integration and a reasona...
