Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of speech recognition, and particularly relates to a sensor for speech recognition by using humidity change signals of speech airflow, a preparation method of the sensor and a speech recognition method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional electromechanical speech sensors such as electrets and piezoelectric ceramics always face the challenge of environmental noise interference. In order to overcome the interference of noise, some new speech sensors are being developed. In 2014, Daeshik Kang et al. proposed a nanometer crack sensor in the document Ultrasensitive mechanical crack-based sensor inspired by the spider sensory system. The sensor is attached to the neck position and performs speech recognition by directly collecting the motion information of the neck skin. Since it does not need air conduction, it avoids environmental noise from air and has good noise resistance. However, this sensor needs to be close to the skin, and has poor comfort and mobility. SUMMARY

[0012] The distance between the adjacent first electrode and the second electrode is less than or equal to 20 microns, so as to obtain higher response sensitivity.

[0013] The particle size of the graphene oxide quantum dots is less than or equal to 20 nanometers, so as to obtain faster response speed.

[0014] The particle size of the silica microspheres is 10-10000 nanometers, so as to obtain better support effect.

[0015] In step A2, the voice recognition sensor is placed within a range of 50 cm from the front end of the oral cavity level position.

[0016] The fixed value resistance is between 1MΩ and 1000MΩ, so as to obtain an appropriate amplitude of output voltage.

[0017] The second technical solution of the present application is a preparation method of a voice recognition sensor, comprising:

[0018] S1, a silica microsphere solution with a concentration of 0.1-10.0 mg / ml is added with a poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride solution with a concentration of 0.1-10.0 mg / ml, and ultrasonic treatment is performed for 2-5 hours to obtain a uniform mixed solution, and a layer of poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride film is attached to the surface of the silica microspheres;

[0019] S2, a silica layer is deposited on the surface of a silicon substrate, and then a first electrode and a second electrode are formed on the surface of the silica layer by vacuum coating combined with photolithography process to obtain an electrode substrate;

[0020] S3, the electrode substrate obtained in step S2 is immersed in the mixed solution of step S1 for 10-20 minutes, so that a layer of poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride film and a plurality of silica microspheres with a surface attached with poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride film are attached to the surface of the silica layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;

[0021] S4, brushing the electrode substrate obtained in step S3 in deionized water for 1-5 minutes to remove the polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride and silica microspheres on the surface of the silica layer which are not firmly attached between the first electrode and the second electrode;

[0022] S5, placing the electrode substrate treated in step S4 in an oven at not higher than 50 DEG C for 1-2 hours for drying treatment;

[0023] S6, immersing the electrode substrate treated in step S5 in a graphene oxide quantum dot dispersion solution with a concentration of 0.2-12.0 mg / ml for 5-15 minutes to adsorb a layer of graphene oxide quantum dot film on the surface of the polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride film on the surface of the silica layer and the silica microspheres by electrostatic force;
