For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.
[0027] As structures are subjected to different operating and environmental loads, fatigue and structural deformation will occur over a period of time, which may lead to disasters or property losses. In critical applications of large structures such as spacecraft and aircraft, early identification and characterization of structural damage is very important. Mechanical failure is related to fatigue crack growth, which may lead to the overall failure of the structure. Traditional contact and non-contact detection technologies are mostly based on periodic detection methods, which are cumbersome and time-consuming for monitoring large structures. Therefore, in-situ structural health monitoring is essential for early detection, location and characterization of impending cracks. Unlike traditional wired sensors that are connected to data acquisition and processing equipment through physical wires or cables, which requires a lot of wiring, increasing cost and complexity, wireless sensors have the advantages of low installation cost, compact structure and no need for cables.
[0028] Due to the rapid development of the Internet of Things and the continuous reduction of integrated circuit power consumption, passive wireless sensors are becoming more and more needed to ensure lifelong monitoring of structures. The design limitations associated with the development of passive wireless sensors are power management and the acquisition capabilities of the sensors. Among wireless sensor technologies, radio frequency identification technology, which uses electromagnetic waves to transmit data, is considered suitable for manufacturing low-cost passive wireless sensors. RFID tag sensors have attracted the attention of domestic and foreign scholars for their advantages such as wireless and simple measurement equipment. They are a detection technology that overcomes the complex wiring, high cable cost and maintenance cost of traditional wired sensor networks.
[0029] According to the RFID microstrip antenna model, that is, the microstrip antenna cavity model, when the microstrip patch antenna (length L and width W) is installed on the surface of the metal structure to be tested, electromagnetic resonance will produce one of the two working modes, namely TM01 mode and TM10 mode; among them, in the TM01 working mode, the current magnitude on the upper and lower surfaces of the cavity model is distributed sinusoidally along the width direction, and the current density value is the largest at W / 2; when the microstrip antenna works in the TM10 mode, the current magnitude on the upper and lower surfaces of the cavity model in this working mode is distributed sinusoidally along the length direction, and the current density value is the largest at L / 2. The existing crack detection theory is that the current path of the antenna is affected by the surface cracks, and the current path length needs to be increased to affect the resonant frequency of the sensor. Assuming that the longitudinal crack is parallel to the TM01 resonance mode, it will not affect the current path of the TM01 resonance mode, so the longitudinal crack cannot be detected but the transverse crack can be detected. Therefore, due to the single working mode, the existing RFID microstrip antenna has the defect of only being able to detect cracks in a single direction. It can be seen that the RFID tag sensor in the related art has a technical problem of inaccurate crack detection results on the surface of the structure.
[0030] In order to at least solve some of the above problems, the following Figure 1-Figure 5The RFID tag sensor and RFID electromagnetic sensor system provided by the present invention are described.
[0031] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the RFID tag sensor provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the RFID tag sensor comprises: A first dielectric substrate 4 and a second dielectric substrate 5, wherein the top surface of the second dielectric substrate is bonded to the bottom surface of the first dielectric substrate; A microwave antenna, wherein the microwave antenna is disposed between the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate; A first RFID tag chip and a second RFID tag chip, wherein the first RFID tag chip is disposed on the top surface of the first dielectric substrate, and the second RFID tag chip is disposed on the top surface of the second dielectric substrate; A first feeder network 7 and a second feeder network 8, wherein the first feeder network and the second feeder network are orthogonally arranged between the bottom surface of the first dielectric substrate and the top surface of the second dielectric substrate, the first feeder network connects the first RFID tag chip with the microwave antenna, and the second feeder network connects the second RFID tag chip with the microwave antenna.
[0032] Optionally, the microwave antenna is a rectangular patch antenna 6; the rectangular patch antenna is a planar structure and is easy to integrate into planar circuits and systems. The rectangular patch antenna usually has a directional radiation characteristic, and the main lobe direction depends on the size and shape of the patch.
[0033] Optionally, both the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate are made of RT / duroid 5880 material, and the dielectric constants of the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate are 2.2, and the loss tangents are 0.0009.
[0034] It can be understood that both the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate are RT / duroid 5880, which can improve the signal transmission efficiency. Due to the low dielectric constant and low loss tangent of RT / duroid 5880, it can effectively improve the signal transmission efficiency in the RFID system and reduce the signal attenuation during transmission. In the RFID system, the antenna is a key part of signal transmission and reception. The stable physical and electrical properties of RT / duroid 5880 help maintain the stability of antenna performance, which is crucial for accurate monitoring of crack direction. The low dielectric constant of RT / duroid 5880 allows the design of a smaller antenna size, which is very useful for reducing the size and weight of the entire sensor system, especially in applications that require lightweight or space-constrained applications. RT / duroid 5880 materials generally have good heat resistance and mechanical strength, which makes the sensor system more durable and able to work stably in various environments.
[0035] Optionally, the RFID tag sensor further includes a grounding plate, and the grounding plate is arranged on the bottom surface of the second dielectric substrate.
[0036] Optionally, the RFID tag sensor also includes four lumped capacitors 10, and the lumped capacitors are connected to the outer edges of the rectangular patch antenna; here, the lumped capacitors are used to enable the RFID tag sensor to operate in a specified RFID frequency band (to facilitate the chip operation and thus wireless signal reading), and the predetermined operating frequency band can be arbitrarily adjusted through the capacitors.
[0037] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the RFID tag sensor also includes a microstrip line 9, which is used to connect the rectangular patch antenna with the first feeder network and the second feeder network. The microstrip line can also be regarded as a part of the first feeder network and the second feeder network. The microstrip line has the same material and function as the first feeder network and the second feeder network.
[0038] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a second structural diagram of the RFID tag sensor provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the RFID tag sensor 3 is placed on the structural surface 1. When there is a crack 2 in the coverage area of the RFID tag sensor, the crack will change the electrical characteristics of the microwave antenna, such as the impedance of the antenna. Therefore, the starting power of the first RFID tag chip and the second RFID tag chip will be affected. The change in the starting power of the chip will be mapped to the microwave antenna and sent out through the microwave antenna in the form of a radio frequency signal.
[0039] It can be understood that since the first feeder network and the second feeder network are orthogonally arranged between the bottom surface of the first dielectric substrate and the top surface of the second dielectric substrate, two independent radiation modes can be excited, with resonant frequencies f1 and f2 respectively, wherein the direction of the current generated at the frequency point f1 is perpendicular to the direction of the current generated at the frequency point f2. For the same crack, the starting power is affected differently, and the resonant frequency of the radio frequency signal sent by the microwave antenna will also be different, and then the direction and depth of the crack can be determined based on the resonant frequency of the signal returned by the RFID tag sensor.
[0040] It should be noted that the first feeder network and the second feeder network are orthogonally arranged between the bottom surface of the first dielectric substrate and the top surface of the second dielectric substrate, but the first feeder network and the second feeder network are not limited to only one layer of a certain substrate. The first feeder network and the second feeder network can be connected to other components through electrical connections. For example, the first feeder network connects the first RFID tag chip arranged on the top surface of the first dielectric substrate to the microwave antenna arranged between the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate through electrical connections.
[0041] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, since the first feeder network and the second feeder network are orthogonally arranged between the bottom surface of the first dielectric substrate and the top surface of the second dielectric substrate, two independent radiation modes can be excited, respectively having resonant frequencies f1 and f2, wherein the direction of the current generated at the frequency point f1 is perpendicular to the direction of the current generated at the frequency point f2, and the direction and depth of the crack can be determined based on the resonant frequency of the signal returned by the RFID tag sensor, thereby solving the technical problem of inaccurate crack detection results on the surface of the structure of the RFID tag sensor in the related art, and improving the accuracy of the crack detection results on the surface of the structure.
[0042] The present invention also provides an RFID electromagnetic sensor system, comprising any one of the above-mentioned RFID tag sensors, an RFID reader antenna and a controller, wherein the RFID tag sensor, the RFID reader antenna and the controller are communicatively connected to each other.
[0043] In this embodiment, the RFID reader antenna and the RFID tag sensor communicate bidirectionally, and the controller is used to control the operation of the RFID tag sensor and the RFID reader antenna; the RFID tag sensor is used to receive RFID reader antenna instruction information and send the sensing information of the RFID tag sensor to the RFID reader antenna.
[0044] The present invention also provides a control method for an RFID electromagnetic sensor system, the method being applied to any of the above-mentioned RFID electromagnetic sensor systems. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a control method of an RFID electromagnetic sensor system provided by the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes: Step 301, the controller sends a detection instruction to the RFID reader antenna; Step 302, in response to the detection instruction, the RFID reader antenna sends a target electromagnetic wave with a modulation information instruction to the RFID tag sensor; Step 303: The microwave antenna generates a target electromagnetic field in response to the target electromagnetic wave to excite the first feeder network and the second feeder network; Step 304: the first feeder network transmits the energy of the target electromagnetic field to the first RFID tag chip, and the first RFID tag chip sends a first signal containing first sensing information to the RFID reader antenna through the first feeder network and the microwave antenna; Step 305: the second feeder network transmits the energy of the target electromagnetic field to the second RFID tag chip, and the second RFID tag chip sends a second signal containing second sensing information to the RFID reader antenna through the second feeder network and the microwave antenna; Step 306: determine the direction and depth of the crack based on the first signal and the second signal, wherein the first signal and the second signal are used to reflect crack information in different directions.
[0045] The control method of the RFID electromagnetic sensor system in this embodiment may be executed by the RFID electromagnetic sensor system, and specifically, may be executed by a controller.
[0046] In actual application, a sample to be detected for surface cracks is placed above a metal plate, the RFID tag sensor is placed above the sample, the RFID reader antenna is located directly above the RFID tag sensor, and the distance between the RFID reader antenna and the RFID tag sensor is fixed.
[0047] Furthermore, the controller sends instructions to the RFID reader antenna, and the RFID reader antenna sends electromagnetic waves with modulation information instructions to the RFID tag sensor. The rectangular patch antenna is excited by the electromagnetic waves, generates a corresponding electromagnetic field and excites the first feeder network and the second feeder network to supply energy to the two RFID tag chips. The appearance of cracks in the sample to be detected for surface cracks affects the impedance of the RFID tag antenna. This influence is mapped to the starting power of the chip and sent back to the RFID reader antenna through the RFID tag antenna (rectangular patch antenna). Finally, the application system collects and analyzes the data.
[0048] Optionally, determining the direction and depth of the crack based on the first signal and the second signal includes: Acquire target resonant frequency data of the first signal and the second signal; The target resonant frequency data is input into a preset database for retrieval to obtain a target crack direction and a target crack depth, wherein the preset database is used to reflect the relationship between the resonant frequency data, the crack direction and the crack depth.
[0049] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a control method of an RFID electromagnetic sensor system provided by the present invention, Figure 4 The simulation results of cracks with different depths and directions are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis is the crack depth, and the vertical axis is the resonant frequency of the two ports. It should be noted that port 1 corresponds to the first signal and port 2 corresponds to the second signal. Figure 4 It can be seen that for cracks in the same direction, the resonance frequencies of the first signal and the second signal are different. Therefore, the direction and depth of the crack can be determined according to the resonance frequencies of the first signal and the second signal.
[0050] In this embodiment, the chips of ports 1 and 2 can be independently controlled to be turned on and activated wirelessly through the RFID reader antenna; the target resonant frequency data can be input into a preset database for retrieval to obtain the target crack direction and target crack depth.
[0051] Here, a preset database needs to be determined in advance; specifically, representative crack directions and crack depths are numerically calculated or tested to form a data combination of resonant frequencies (e.g. Figure 4 , there is a one-to-one correspondence between the resonant frequency, crack direction and crack depth, forming a corresponding preset database).
[0052] Furthermore, an RFID tag sensor is installed on the surface of the object to be tested; the RFID reader wirelessly opens port 1 and port 2 respectively to obtain the characteristics of the target resonant frequency; the target resonant frequency is input into a preset database for retrieval to obtain the target crack direction and target crack depth.
[0053] Through this embodiment, the accuracy of determining the crack direction and depth can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the control method of the RFID electromagnetic sensor system of this embodiment.

The processor 510 can call the logic instructions in the memory 530 to execute the control method of the RFID electromagnetic sensor system, which includes: the controller sends a detection instruction to the RFID reader antenna; in response to the detection instruction, the RFID reader antenna sends a target electromagnetic wave with a modulation information instruction to the RFID tag sensor; the microwave antenna generates a target electromagnetic field in response to the target electromagnetic wave to excite the first feeder network and the second feeder network; the first feeder network transfers the energy of the target electromagnetic field to the first RFID tag chip, and the first RFID tag chip sends a first signal containing first sensing information to the RFID reader antenna through the first feeder network and the microwave antenna; the second feeder network transfers the energy of the target electromagnetic field to the second RFID tag chip, and the second RFID tag chip sends a second signal containing second sensing information to the RFID reader antenna through the second feeder network and the microwave antenna; the direction and depth of the crack are determined based on the first signal and the second signal, wherein the first signal and the second signal are used to reflect crack information in different directions.
