Description

Technical Field

[0002] Most existing pressure sensors are based on the principles of resistance strain, capacitance or piezoelectricity, and rely on wire connections or embedded electrodes to transmit electrical signals. They have significant limitations in high temperature, strong vibration or complex curved surface applications. For example, although traditional piezoelectric ceramic sensors (such as PZT) are highly sensitive, they are brittle and have poor flexibility, making it difficult to fit curved surface structures, and are prone to depolarization at high temperatures; while metal strain gauges can adapt to a certain temperature range, they require complex wiring and are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. In recent years, flexible sensor technology has gradually developed, but its temperature resistance is generally insufficient. Some studies have attempted to improve temperature resistance through packaging materials, but a single packaging layer is difficult to take into account both thermal insulation and mechanical protection functions, and the increased surface roughness at high temperatures can easily introduce noise.

After mixing for 10min-20min at a planetary mixer with a speed of 1500r / min-2000r / min, a uniform slurry is formed. The slurry is uniformly deposited on the surface of the flexible SiC piezoelectric layer 1 by an electrostatic spraying process at a spraying voltage of 25kV-40kV and a substrate temperature of 70℃-90℃. The single spraying thickness is controlled to be about 10μm, and the spraying is repeated 2 to 5 times.

[0036] Example 1: Aircraft engine blade surface pressure monitoring Step 1: Preparation of flexible SiC piezoelectric layer 1 SiC nanoparticles with a particle size of 100 nm were mixed with polysilazane prepolymer at a ratio of 7:3, and nitrogen methyl pyrrolidone was added to adjust the solid content to 30%. After ultrasonic dispersion, the film was cast to a wet film thickness of 200 μm. After preheating at 120°C for 1 h and cross-linking and curing at 250°C for 2 h, a polarizing electric field of 8 kV / mm was applied in a silicone oil bath at 100°C to obtain a piezoelectric film with a thickness of 100 μm. Step 2: Deposition of electroluminescent layer 2 YAG:Cr powder (particle size 4μm) was selected and mixed with high temperature resistant silica gel at a ratio of 1:3, 0.5wt% TiO2 was added, and then electrostatically sprayed on the surface of the piezoelectric layer at a spraying voltage of 30kV, a substrate temperature of 80℃, and a total thickness of 40μm. After UV curing, a uniform luminous layer was formed; Step 3: Packaging A 50 μm thick SiO2 aerogel was prepared on the surface of the light-emitting layer by a sol-gel method, and then a modified polytetrafluoroethylene coating was sprayed and heated at 250°C for 20 min to form a dense outer layer.

[0037] The film is attached to the surface of an aircraft engine blade. After airflow is applied to the blade to generate pressure, the light intensity of the luminous layer increases with the pressure. The light signal is collected by external optical equipment to achieve in-situ monitoring of the dynamic pressure of the blade.

[0038] Example 2: Monitoring of air flow pressure distribution on a car body Step 1: Flexible SiC piezoelectric layer preparation SiC nanoparticles with a particle size of 150 nm were mixed with polyimide prepolymer in a mass ratio of 6:4, and xylene was used as a solvent to adjust the solid content to 35%. The wet film thickness after tape casting was 250 μm. After preheating at 110 ° C for 1 h and cross-linking and curing at 250 ° C for 2 h, the film piezoelectric coefficient d was finally obtained using a polarization electric field strength of 10 kV / mm. 33 22pC / N; Step 2: Preparation of electroluminescent layer YAG:Cr powder (particle size 5μm) was selected and mixed with high temperature resistant silica gel in a mass ratio of 1:2, and 0.8wt% TiO2 scattering agent was added. Then, it was electrostatically sprayed on the surface of the piezoelectric layer. The spraying voltage was 35kV, the substrate temperature was 80℃, and the total thickness was 50μm. After UV curing, a uniform luminous layer was obtained. Step 3: Preparation of heat-resistant encapsulation layer A 40 μm thick SiO2 aerogel was prepared on the surface of the light-emitting layer by a sol-gel method, and then a modified polytetrafluoroethylene coating was sprayed and heated at 250°C for 25 min to form a dense outer layer.

[0039] The film is attached to the complex curved surfaces of the car body (such as the arc of the door and the edges of the hood) to monitor the airflow pressure distribution in real time during the aerodynamic analysis of the car body shape, achieving no-blind-angle monitoring. The applicable temperature range is from room temperature to 200°C.

[0040] Comparative example: Single-layer heat-resistant packaging without SiO2 aerogel Step 1: Flexible SiC piezoelectric layer preparation The parameters are the same as those in Example 2, and the piezoelectric coefficient d 33 21pC / N; Step 2: Preparation of electroluminescent layer The parameters are the same as those in Example 2; Step 3: Encapsulation layer preparation Only a single layer of modified polytetrafluoroethylene coating was used without adding a SiO2 aerogel layer. The surface roughness of the polytetrafluoroethylene coating was 0.8 μm after being heated at 250°C.

[0041] The composite films prepared in Example 2 and the comparative example were tested for surface roughness, thermal conductivity, maximum temperature rise inside the film under the same airflow conditions, and luminescence response stability. The test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1: Test results of composite films prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example

[0042] It can be seen from Table 1 that the temperature-resistant packaging layer in the comparative example does not include the SiO2 aerogel layer, resulting in a significant increase in the surface roughness of the film. Due to the lack of the heat insulation effect of the SiO2 aerogel layer, the thermal conductivity increases. Under the same airflow conditions, the maximum temperature rise on the inner side of the film increases by 115°C, which is not conducive to the high-temperature and long-term operation of the film. At the same time, it significantly affects the stability of the luminous signal, causing the light intensity signal fluctuation to increase from 5% to 30%, affecting the determination of the effective signal.

[0043] In summary, the flexible SiC composite film with in-situ pressure monitoring function of the present invention can work stably in a medium to high temperature environment to a certain extent, and has excellent flexibility. It can be adhered to the surface of complex curved structural parts in a conformal manner, and is suitable for real-time pressure monitoring in medium to high temperature and high pressure scenarios such as aerospace and industrial equipment.
