TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of detection sensor, and particularly relates to a thin film sensor detection device for simultaneously detecting temperature, humidity and pressure parameters and not generating coupling between signals and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Human skin is a multi-sensing intelligent sensing system, which can sense various information such as external temperature, humidity and pressure, and transmit them to the nervous system of the brain. The brain processes the information and issues instructions to produce corresponding physiological responses to realize the interaction between human and environment. In recent years, with the rapid development of flexible electronics, flexible thin film sensors with human-like skin have emerged, which can capture temperature, humidity, pressure and other information of the environment or user like human skin. Due to the ability to simulate the sensing function of human skin, flexible thin film sensors have shown broad application prospects in wearable electronics, health monitoring, intelligent robots, environmental monitoring and other fields.
[0003] At present, the flexible sensor with single sensing function cannot meet the application requirements, so it is urgent to develop a multi-parameter sensing flexible sensor device. The existing multi-parameter sensing sensor solutions mainly include direct integration, that is, multiple single-sensing sensors are integrated together in a planar manner or stacked in layers. The disadvantage of this method is that the structure, preparation process and processing circuit are complex; another method is to construct special materials that can detect multiple information and output the same type of signal. The disadvantage of this method is poor signal selectivity and large signal coupling. SUMMARY

The present application uses a double-layer electrode to avoid affecting the monitoring of the capacitive humidity sensor when the sensor is subjected to pressure. When the three environmental parameters change simultaneously, any change in a parameter will only cause a change in the corresponding output signal, and will not affect the output of the other two signals. Since the three output signals are different, the different environmental parameter changes can be quickly and accurately determined from the output signals, so the coupling effect between the signals is small and the signal selectivity is good.

[0040] The preparation method, the prepared multi-parameter sensing flexible sensor structure and the preparation process of the present application are simple, can simultaneously monitor temperature, humidity and pressure changes, and output different measurement signals.

[0042] Further, the solvent for dissolving the nano-ZnO powder in the present application is methyl ethyl ketone, so that the ZnO powder is dissolved faster and more completely in the solvent, is uniformly dispersed, is more suitable for electrospinning, and avoids that the powder that is not completely dissolved or dispersed blocks the needle during electrospinning.

The upper insulating layer 1 has a hole structure; the upper electrode layer 2 is composed of a first upper electrode 6, a first substrate 7 and a first lower electrode 8 arranged from top to bottom. The upper electrode layer 2 has a hole structure, and the first upper electrode 6 and the first lower electrode 8 are both printed on the upper and lower surfaces of the first substrate 7 by screen printing technology using configured silver conductive ink; the sensitive film 3 is a P(VDF-TrFE) / ZnO / RGO sensitive film obtained by soaking and reducing after electrospinning of the configured spinning solution; the lower electrode layer 4 is composed of a second upper electrode 9, a second substrate 10 and a second lower electrode 11 arranged from top to bottom. The second upper electrode 9 and the second lower electrode 11 are both printed on the upper and lower surfaces of the second substrate 10 by screen printing technology using configured silver conductive ink.
[0052] The silver conductive ink used for printing the first upper electrode 6, the first lower electrode 8, the second upper electrode 9 and the second lower electrode 11 is sensitive to temperature.

[0139] Example 8
[0140] The difference between this example and Example 5 is only the solvent in step S2. In this example, methyl ethyl ketone is used as the solvent, i.e. methyl ethyl ketone is used instead of acetone solution. When this solvent is used, the ZnO powder is dissolved more quickly and completely in the solvent, and is uniformly dispersed, which is more suitable for electrospinning, avoiding the needle being blocked by the powder that is not completely dissolved or dispersed during electrospinning.

[0150] Example 12
[0151] A detection method of a multi-parameter sensing flexible sensing system, comprising the following steps:
[0152] S1, the multi-parameter sensing flexible sensing system is built according to the method described in embodiment 8;
[0153] S2, the resistance temperature sensor in the multi-parameter sensing flexible sensing system is used to measure temperature, the piezoelectric pressure sensor is used to measure pressure, and the capacitive humidity sensor is used to measure humidity, so as to avoid signal coupling and other problems.
[0154] The working principle of the application is as follows:
[0155] Firstly, the silver electrode in the application is screen printed by special silver conductive ink. Most of the silver conductive ink on the market is difficult to meet the requirements of being suitable for screen printing technology, and having good sensitivity and linearity of temperature detection. Therefore, the silver conductive ink configured in the application is suitable for screen printing, and the printed silver electrode has good sensitivity and linearity of temperature detection, and can be used as a resistance temperature sensor. When the ambient temperature changes, the resistance of the silver electrode changes, and two lead wires are respectively drawn to output the resistance signal.
[0156] Secondly, in the design and preparation of the sensitive film, P(VDF-TrFE) and ZnO belong to piezoelectric materials and are sensitive to pressure. When the sensitive film is pressed, polarization phenomenon occurs between the upper and lower layers, the charge shifts to generate a voltage difference. Therefore, the sensitive film, the first lower electrode 8 and the second upper electrode 9 form a “sandwich” type piezoelectric pressure sensor, which can output a voltage signal when pressure is applied, in combination with the subsequent conditioning circuit.
[0157] Finally, RGO in the sensitive film is sensitive to humidity. When the ambient humidity changes, the sensitive film absorbs water molecules in the environment, the dielectric constant changes, and the capacitance between the upper and lower plates changes. Therefore, the sensitive film, the first upper electrode 6 and the second electrode 11 form a “sandwich” type capacitive humidity sensor, which outputs a capacitance signal.
[0158] The purpose of the double-layer electrode layer is that when the sensor is subjected to pressure, the sensitive film undergoes polarization phenomenon, and the sensitive film tends to be conductive, which affects the monitoring of the capacitive humidity sensor. Therefore, the piezoelectric pressure sensor and the capacitive humidity sensor cannot share a pair of electrodes, and the PI substrate of the electrode layer is an insulator, which can avoid the mutual influence between the two different parameter monitoring. In addition, the design of the upper insulating layer and the upper electrode layer is mainly for the application of the capacitive humidity sensor, in order to quickly allow the moisture in the environment to infiltrate the sensitive film, so that the upper insulating layer and the upper electrode layer need to be punched.
[0159] The above specific embodiments only describe the preferred embodiments of the application, and do not limit the protection scope of the application. Without departing from the design concept and spirit of the application, various modifications, substitutions and improvements of the technical solutions of the application made by those skilled in the art according to the description and drawings of the application should belong to the protection scope of the application. The protection scope of the application is determined by the claims.
