In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.

[0044] In combination Figs. 1-2 As shown in the present application, a hot-pressed glass fiber substrate strain gauge is provided, comprising: a protective layer 1, a metal foil 2, and a glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 stacked in order from top to bottom.

[0045] The glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3, the metal foil 2, and the protective layer 1 are integrally formed by hot pressing and bonding.

[0046] The glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 includes a glass fiber mesh and epoxy resin glue attached thereto.

[0047] The epoxy resin glue includes resin, curing agent, formamide, ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, and solvent.

[0048] The epoxy resin glue of the glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 is in a gel phase, and is softened and released during the hot pressing process, and is bonded with the metal foil 2.

[0049] The protective layer 1 is made of corrosion-resistant composite material, which is bonded with the metal foil 2 by hot pressing, and the protective layer 1 is softened and released during the hot pressing process.

[0050] The corrosion-resistant composite material includes: forming a composite material through a blending, laminating or coating process of resin and filler, for example:

[0051] Epoxy resin + carbon fiber: high strength and corrosion resistance;

[0052] PTFE + glass fiber: acid and alkali resistant and excellent insulation;

[0053] Phenolic resin + graphite: oil resistant and good high temperature stability.

[0054] The temperature range of the hot pressing adhesion is 100℃-400℃.

[0055] The tensile strength of the strain gauge is 30MPa-300MPa.

[0056] The utility model principle is as follows:

[0057] Material and structure:

[0058] The utility model relates to a kind of hot-pressing glass fiber substrate strain gauge, and its main components include:

[0059] Protective layer 1: located in the uppermost layer, protects internal structure from external environment.

[0060] Metal foil 2: as resistance material, responsible for inductive strain and conversion into electrical signal.

[0061] Glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3: provide support and enhance tensile strength.

[0062] Manufacturing process:

[0063] Epoxy blending resin preparation: first, resin, curing agent, formamide, ethylene glycol ether ethyl acetate, solvent etc. are mixed according to certain proportion, and epoxy blending resin glue liquid is prepared.

[0064] Impregnation and pre-baking: glass fiber mesh cloth is immersed in epoxy blending resin glue liquid for impregnation treatment, and then pre-baking is carried out at a certain temperature, so that epoxy blending resin glue liquid enters B stage (gel stage), and glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 is made.

[0065] Hot-pressing:

[0066] First stage: metal foil 2 is placed flat above glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3, and hot pressing is carried out through cyclic temperature rise and fall multiple times in the temperature range of 100℃-400℃. In this process, glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 will soften and release glue independently, so that metal foil 2 and glass fiber substrate prepreg sheet 3 are closely bonded.

[0067] Second stage: protective layer 1 is arranged above metal foil 2, and protective layer 1 is also softened and releases glue independently through the same hot pressing process (100℃-400℃), so as to be closely bonded with metal foil 2 layer.

[0068] Working process:

[0069] When the component is deformed under stress, the strain gauge also deforms. Since the metal foil 2 is a resistive material, changes in its length and cross-sectional area will cause changes in its resistance.

[0070] This change in resistance can be measured by the strain gauge and converted into a voltage or current signal, ultimately calculating the strain value.

[0071] The strain gauge has excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance, and can stably output resistance, voltage or current signals even in harsh environments such as acid, alkali, oil, etc.

[0072] Key innovations

[0073] Self-releasing adhesive: Through the hot pressing process within a specific temperature range, the glass fiber base prepreg sheet 3 and the protective layer 1 can independently release the adhesive, achieving a tight bond between the layers, avoiding the complex and inefficient multi-layer adhesive process in traditional methods.

[0074] High-performance material selection: Using epoxy blended resin as the main component of the glass fiber base, the overall tensile strength and elastic modulus of the strain gauge are significantly improved, and its corrosion resistance in harsh environments is also enhanced.

[0075] In summary, the utility model optimizes material ratio and improves manufacturing process, solves the deficiencies of existing strain gauges in terms of difficulty of sticking, tensile strength and stability, and provides a more reliable and efficient stress analysis and detection solution.

[0076] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model range, any equivalent structural transformation made under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the protection scope of the utility model.
