Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to surface impedance recognition, in particular to a surface impedance recognition method and device based on flexible piezoelectric sensing technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] In daily life, it is often necessary to determine the location of an acupoint. It is known that the tissue modulus at the muscle boundary and the muscle and tendon origin and termination points is lower than that of the muscle and tendon around the acupoint. Traditionally, an object hardness recognition method based on a Gaussian mixture noise generative adversarial network is used.

[0003] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a surface impedance recognition method in the prior art. Referring to Figure 1 In the prior art object hardness recognition method based on a Gaussian mixture noise generative adversarial network, small-scale labeled hardness level haptic data is used as the true value to train a Gaussian mixture noise generative adversarial network, Gaussian mixture noise is input into the Gaussian mixture noise generative adversarial network to obtain large-scale generated samples, the parameters of the discriminator of the Gaussian mixture noise generative adversarial network are used as the initial value of the hardness recognition network parameters, the hardness recognition network is pre-trained using the large-scale generated samples, the hardness recognition network is retrained using the labeled hardness level haptic data to determine the parameters of the hardness recognition network, and the haptic data to be predicted is input into the hardness recognition network to obtain the hardness level of the haptic data to be predicted. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1.1: touch the target object with the sensor at the front end of the mechanical arm to collect haptic data, divide the collected haptic data into L hardness levels according to their hardness physical properties, and label the corresponding labels as 1, 2, 3,..., L to obtain L classes of labeled hardness level haptic data.

[0004] A sensor is attached to the surface of a hard mechanical hand, and the degree of softness and hardness of the surface is determined according to the readings of the sensor by controlling the mechanical hand to exert pressure on the surface. This method relies heavily on the movement of the mechanical hand. For mechanical systems, the current technical level cannot guarantee control accuracy. The thickness of flexible sensors is in the order of microns, and the deformation size under pressure is smaller. It is difficult to achieve control in the order of microns for the mechanical hand, and the servo control system is extremely inefficient to achieve such high precision. Therefore, the recognition accuracy of impedance is not accurate, and the surface impedance recognition problem cannot be effectively solved, i.e., the resistance type acupoint recognition method is greatly limited by the skin surface environment, and the acupoint recognition accuracy is poor.

[0037] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0039] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a surface impedance identification method based on a flexible piezoelectric sensing technology, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: fixing an impedance identification system on a surface to be measured, the impedance identification system comprising an electrode, an electro-actuated deformation module connected to the electrode, an insulating layer located below the electro-actuated deformation module, a sensor module located below the insulating layer, and a hard material located above the electro-actuated deformation module; energizing the electro-actuated deformation module to cause the electro-actuated deformation module to deform, the insulating layer transmitting the load caused by the deformation of the electro-actuated deformation module to the sensor module, and the load being further transmitted to the surface to be measured, causing a difference in the output electrical signal of the sensor module; measuring the electrical signal difference by an electrical device connected to the upper and lower electrodes of the sensor module, and identifying the impedance of the surface to be measured according to the electrical signal difference.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 2 A flowchart of a surface impedance identification method based on a flexible piezoelectric sensing technology according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 In step 201, the impedance identification system is placed on the surface to be measured and the impedance identification system is fixed.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The impedance recognition system includes electrodes, an electro- morphic module connected to the electrodes, an insulating layer located below the electro- morphic module, a sensor module located below the insulating layer, and a hard material located above the electro- morphic module. According to one example of the present disclosure, the impedance recognition system can be fixed using adhesive tape, adhesive strips, or other adhesive materials.

[0043] In step 202, the electro- morphic module is powered to cause the electro- morphic module to deform, the insulating layer transmits the load caused by the deformation of the electro- morphic module to the sensor, and the load is further transmitted to the surface to be measured, causing the difference in the electrical signal.

[0044] Specifically, the upper and lower electrodes of the electro- morphic module are connected to the power supply, the electro- morphic module is powered, and the deformation of the module is caused. The deformation causes a load on the insulating layer, which transmits the load to the sensor; the load is further transmitted to the surface to be measured by the sensor, and the softness and hardness of the surface to be measured cause different deformations of the sensor, which in turn causes a difference in the electrical signal of the sensor.

[0045] In step 203, the electrical device connected to the upper and lower electrodes of the sensor module measures the difference in the electrical signal, and the impedance of the surface to be measured is recognized according to the difference in the electrical signal.

[0046] Figure 3 The impedance recognition system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in the front view, but the device can be prepared in any shape, and the overall structure of the system includes electrodes, an electro- morphic module, an insulating layer, a sensor module, and a hard material.

[0047] Specifically, the working principle of the impedance recognition system is as follows: the system is placed on the surface to be measured, and the entire system position is fixed using medical adhesive tape. The upper and lower electrodes of the electro- morphic module are connected to the power supply, the electro- morphic module is powered, and the deformation of the module is caused; the deformation causes a load on the insulating layer, which transmits the load to the sensor; the load is further transmitted to the surface to be measured by the sensor, and the softness and hardness of the surface to be measured cause different deformations of the sensor, which in turn causes a difference in the electrical signal of the sensor. The electrical signal is measured by the electrical device connected to the upper and lower electrodes of the sensor module. The impedance of the surface to be measured can be determined according to the difference in the electrical signal.

[0048] Optionally, the hard material requires a high modulus, and an insulating ceramic or insulating crystal with a modulus greater than 200 GPa and a thickness of 50-200 μm can be selected.

[0049] Optionally, the selected electro- morphic module can be a piezoelectric ceramic or a piezoelectric crystal with a thickness of 50-200 μm.

[0050] Optionally, the electrode material can be selected from a metal material with excellent conductivity, such as copper foil, gold foil, silver foil, etc., and the thickness is 0.5-10 μm.

[0051] Optionally, the insulating layer requires an insulating ceramic material with thin thickness, and the thickness is 5-30 μm.

[0052] Optionally, the sensor module is a pressure sensor, which can be selected from a resistive pressure sensor, and the connected electrical device is an ohmmeter; or a capacitive pressure sensor, and the connected electrical device is a voltmeter; or a piezoelectric pressure sensor, and the connected electrical device is a voltmeter.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the hard material is selected from a hard insulating SiC ceramic film with a thickness of 100 μm.

[0054] The electrode material is selected from copper foil with a thickness of 5 μm.

[0055] The electro-deformation material is selected from PZT piezoelectric ceramic with a thickness of 100 μm.

[0056] The insulating layer is selected from an insulating SiC ceramic film with a thickness of 5 μm.

[0057] The sensor module is selected from a resistive pressure sensor prepared by mixing PDMS and carbon nanotubes, and in the deformation process, the resistance of the resistive sensor changes. The connected electrical measuring device is an ohmmeter, and the ohmmeter value can be read out.

[0058] Figure 4 is a front view of an impedance identification system according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0059] In Figure 3 the impedance identification system shown, the side of the sensor module in contact with the surface to be measured is in a flat plate structure. The flat plate structure has low sensitivity in measurement and poor ability to identify small differences. In order to more accurately identify the surface impedance, in the second embodiment according to the present disclosure, the side of the sensor module in contact with the surface to be measured is designed as a microstructure.

[0060] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the impedance identification system according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes an electrode, an electro-deformation module connected to the electrode, an insulating layer located below the electro-deformation module, a sensor module located below the insulating side, and a hard material located above the electro-deformation module. However, unlike Figure 3The first embodiment of the impedance recognition system shown differs in that the side of the sensor module that is in contact with the surface to be measured is designed as a microstructure. The microstructure can comprise a conical, hemispherical, cylindrical or spherical shell structure. With this microstructure, the sensitivity of the sensor is significantly increased by virtue of the fact that, due to the reduced area of application, the force per unit area is increased and the deformation is more pronounced, and the accuracy of the surface recognition for weak impedance differences is higher.

[0061] Figure 5 is a front view of an impedance recognition system according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two solutions shown in and have good recognition ability for surfaces with good impedance uniformity, and single-point measurement can obtain the impedance value of the measured surface. However, for surfaces with inconsistent impedance, the measurement efficiency is very low. In the embodiment according to the third aspect of the present disclosure, a flexible recognition array is designed. Referring specifically to Figure 5 In the flexible recognition array, the individual recognition units are connected by S-shaped wires and separate wires, which improves the stretchability of the recognition system. Due to the design of the S-shaped wires, the system has a certain bendability and good conformability on curved surfaces, and has high accuracy for impedance recognition of curved structures. The planar impedance distribution is obtained by comparing multiple measurement data.

[0063] Figure 6 A block diagram of a surface impedance recognition device based on a flexible piezoelectric sensing technology according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 6 shown, the surface impedance recognition device includes an impedance recognition system fixing module for fixing the impedance recognition system to a surface to be measured, the impedance recognition system including electrodes, an electro- morphic module connected to the electrodes, an insulating layer located below the electro- morphic module, a sensor module located below the insulating layer, and a hard material located above the electro- morphic module. The surface impedance recognition device also includes an electro- morphic module power-on module for powering on the electro- morphic module to cause the electro- morphic module to deform, the insulating layer transmitting the load caused by the deformation of the electro- morphic module to the sensor module, and the load being further transmitted to the surface to be measured, causing a difference in the output electrical signal of the sensor module. The surface impedance recognition device also includes an impedance recognition module for measuring the electrical signal difference by an electrical device connected to the upper and lower electrodes of the sensor module, and recognizing the impedance of the surface to be measured according to the electrical signal difference.

[0064] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation and description of the embodiment of the surface impedance recognition method based on the flexible piezoelectric sensing technology also applies to the embodiment of the surface impedance recognition device based on the flexible piezoelectric sensing technology, which will not be described here.

[0065] According to the surface impedance recognition device based on the flexible piezoelectric sensing technology of the present disclosure, the inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric material is utilized, the electrostrictive module deforms under the driving of the voltage, and at the same time, the pressure sensor is applied with pressure. Due to the different modulus at the muscle group and the acupoint, the pressure sensor at the muscle and the acupoint obtains different reaction forces, and the surface impedance can be obtained with high precision.

[0067] Reference Figure 7 When the surface impedance recognition device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the skin surface, the position of the acupoint part can be accurately determined.

[0068] Specifically, at the start and end points of the muscle tissue and the periosteum, the tissue modulus is lower than that of the muscle tendon around the acupoint. According to the surface impedance recognition method and recognition device based on the flexible piezoelectric sensing technology of the present disclosure, the inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric material is utilized, the electrostrictive module deforms under the driving of the voltage, and at the same time, the pressure sensor is applied with pressure. Due to the different modulus at the muscle group and the acupoint, the pressure sensor at the muscle and the acupoint obtains different reaction forces, and the surface impedance can be obtained with high precision, so that the acupoint position can be determined with high precision.
