Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sensor detection systems, and in particular to a flexible film humidity sensor detection system. Background Art

[0002] Flexible film humidity sensor refers to a humidity sensor made of resistive nano-functional humidity-sensitive composite materials or other humidity-sensitive materials with similar functions printed on flexible and thin materials with strong adhesion, bending resistance and high sensitivity. The sensor is as thin as paper, has good flexibility and ductility, and can even be bent and folded freely. It has flexible and diverse structural forms and can be arranged arbitrarily according to the requirements of measurement conditions. It can very conveniently measure complex objects to be measured.

[0003] When in use, the humidity sensor is attached to the surface of the object to be measured. When the humidity sensor senses the external humidity, the resistance value of the sensor changes. The humidity signal generated by the sensor after sensing the change can be converted into an electrical signal output with a corresponding change intensity by using a signal conversion circuit. The performance parameters of the corresponding sensor can be obtained by analyzing the electrical signal. The working humidity range of the flexible film humidity sensor is generally -30~150 degrees Celsius. This type of sensor is commonly used in human-computer interaction equipment, intelligent robots, electronic medical devices, wearable devices, and physiological health testing equipment. With the rapid development of smart clothing and medical and elderly care industries in recent years, the demand for flexible film humidity sensors is also increasing.

[0004] Common flexible film humidity sensors are small in size, generally ranging from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters. They are manufactured in batches using a full-page printing process similar to printed circuit boards. The full-page size is generally standard, such as 300*400mm2, 400*500mm2, and there are dozens or nearly a hundred humidity sensors designed on each page. At present, when testing the performance of humidity sensors, the sensor parameters are obtained by manually heating and measuring each sensor. When the number of sensors is large, only some sensors can be selected by sampling for testing to determine the performance of the entire page of sensors. The measurement efficiency is low, and the measurement accuracy and consistency are poor. In order to meet the needs of customization, the appearance structure and interface specifications of sensors in different application fields vary greatly. When designing an automated detection system, it is necessary to simplify the measurement method as much as possible to meet the detection needs of most products as much as possible.

[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a flexible film humidity sensor 400 detection system includes a body 300, a control system 100, an air supply system, and a test template 500. The control system 100 is connected to the body 300 to provide electrical control therefor.

[0030] The main body 300 includes a base 301, the upper surface of the base 301 is a planar structure, a top cover 302 is provided on the top of the base 301, the interior of the top cover 302 is a cavity structure, a chamber temperature sensor 303 and a chamber humidity sensor 306 are fixedly installed in the cavity area of ​​the top cover 302, which are used to test the humidity value inside the cavity, and the interior of the top cover 302 is provided with air guide holes 304 that penetrate the top cover 302 from top to bottom, and the air guide holes 304 are provided on the inner side of the chamber temperature sensor 303 and the chamber humidity sensor 306, and the air guide holes 304 are provided with two groups, one group for air intake and the other group for air exhaust.

[0031] The test template 500 is installed in the cavity structure between the upper cover 302 and the base 301. The test template 500 includes a double-layer flexible film layer, and the flexible film layer includes a first flexible film layer 501 and a second flexible film layer 502. The first flexible film layer 501 is arranged at the bottom of the second flexible film layer 502. The first flexible film layer 501 is a full-page flexible film material, and the second flexible film layer 502 is a flexible film material with holes. The two layers of film material are provided with a wire 505 and a conductive contact 506 in the middle. The opening of the second flexible film layer 502 is provided with a conductive contact 506. The conductive contact 506 extends from the rear end of the conductive contact 506. The conductive end is connected to a wiring row 504. The surfaces of the first flexible film layer 501 and the second flexible film layer 502 are provided with through holes 503 from top to bottom, and the through holes 503 are provided on both sides of the wire 505.

[0032] Flexible film humidity sensors 400 are evenly distributed on the flexible film layer. The flexible film humidity sensor 400 includes a sensor probe 401 and a connector 402. The connector 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the sensor probe 401. The sensor probe 401 is made of humidity sensitive material, and the connector 402 is correspondingly connected to the conductive contact.

[0033] The gas supply system includes a mixing chamber 200, a steam generator 201, a dry gas cylinder 202, and an electrical proportional valve 203. The mixing chamber 200 is connected to the air guide hole 304 on the main body 300, and the mixing chamber 200 is connected to the steam generator 201 and the dry gas cylinder 202. The electrical proportional valve 203 is installed between the connecting pipelines of the mixing chamber 200 and the steam generator 201, and between the mixing chamber 200 and the dry gas cylinder 202.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the test, the whole flexible film humidity sensor 400 is placed on the base 301, and the position of the test template 500 is conveniently aligned when it is lowered by manual alignment. After the test template 500 and the upper cover 302 are lowered, the control system 100 controls the steam generator 201 and the gas supply proportional valve on the dry gas bottle 202 to supply gas to the mixing chamber 200. The steam and dry air generate a gas with a certain humidity value in the mixing chamber 200, and then enter the cavity inside the upper cover 302 through the air guide pipe, and pass through the holes on the test template 500 and the humidity. The control system 100 obtains the temperature and humidity values ​​of the air in the cavity of the upper cover 302 by reading the temperature and humidity sensors inside the upper cover 302 in real time, and records the output signal of the sensor. After the signal acquisition is completed, the upper cover 302 is lifted up, and the entire flexible film humidity sensor 400 is manually taken out to complete the test of the entire sensor. The control system 100 simultaneously opens the exhaust valve of the mixing chamber 200 and the dry gas cylinder 202, and uses dry air to discharge the moisture in the cavity of the upper cover 302 to prepare for the next test.

[0037] After the test is completed, lift the upper cover 302, release the vacuum pump 600, take out the entire flexible film humidity sensor 400, and if you need to test sensors of different types and models, lift the pressing block 305 at the rear of the body 300, take out the test template 500, replace it with a new template, and then lower the pressing block 305 to tighten it.

[0038] It should be noted here that the flexible film humidity sensor 400 test system according to the present invention can be automatically controlled by the control system 100, such as controlling the lifting and lowering of the pressing block 305, controlling the electrical proportional valve 203 to control the steam generator 201 and the dry gas cylinder 202 to supply gas to the mixing chamber 200, and the data acquisition system to collect data, etc. This is understandable to those skilled in the art.
