TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to sensor technical field especially relates to a flexible pressure sensor. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current sensor technology field, pressure sensors are widely used in various scenarios. However, traditional pressure sensors have significant limitations in flexibility, accuracy of pressure detection, and multi-section pressure detection. Many traditional pressure sensors use a single sensing element, which can only provide a single pressure threshold value, making it difficult to accurately distinguish and measure pressure in different size ranges. This design is particularly unsuitable for applications that require flexibility, such as wearable devices, where traditional rigid sensors may affect the comfort and effectiveness of wearing.
[0003] With the rapid development of flexible electronics technology, the market demand for sensors that can conform to different shaped surfaces, withstand a certain degree of deformation, and accurately measure pressure is growing. However, existing technologies still face many challenges in achieving high resolution and multi-section pressure measurement. This is particularly difficult in scenarios that require accurate pressure information, such as pressure monitoring in medical devices, tactile feedback in precision robots, and other applications.
[0004] In addition, existing sensors often need to be designed with corresponding structures and matching circuits for specific application scenarios. Some sensor structures are complex and bulky, while others have stability and precision issues. More problematic is that the performance of these sensors fluctuates significantly with changes in environmental temperature and humidity, affecting the reliability and consistency of measurements.
[0005] In complex pressure change environments, traditional sensors cannot accurately feedback the size and trend of pressure changes, which severely limits their application in dynamic pressure monitoring and precision control fields. In addition, the lack of flexibility in traditional pressure sensors makes it difficult to adapt to pressure measurement requirements on curved or irregular surfaces, creating application bottlenecks in emerging fields such as human-computer interaction and soft robots.

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0052] In the description of the present application, if the term “a plurality of” appears, the meaning of “a plurality of” is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless there is an explicit specific limitation.
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, a flexible pressure sensor disclosed in the present application can include a sensing portion 1 and a driving circuit.
[0054] The sensing portion 1 can include a substrate and a sealing material, positive and negative sensing electrodes, and an internal resistance element.
[0055] Specifically, the substrate and sealing material are used to isolate the outside world and connect the pressure sensing area (i.e. the sensing part 1), the inner side of which needs to be kept highly flat and smooth. The positive and negative sensing electrodes, composed of conductive materials, can adjust their flexibility, size, spacing, and shape according to application requirements. The inner resistance element, composed of semi-conductive materials, is located between the positive and negative sensing electrodes and has a certain and stable conductivity. The upper and lower electrodes are in contact through the semi-conductive material, forming a conduction path.
[0056] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The inner resistance element can specifically include: long contact resistance 101, medium contact resistance 102, and short contact resistance 103, which have different contact lengths. Moreover, multiple inner resistance elements can use the force deformation of the flexible pressure sensor to conduct the circuit: according to the deformation of the flexible pressure sensor under pressure and in sequence, the two ends of the sensing part 1 can be connected to the driving circuit through the sensor interface to provide a voltage source.
[0057] Further, in the optional embodiment, the long contact resistance 101 plays a key role in solving the problem of providing initial pressure information. When the flexible pressure sensor is subjected to pressure, the long contact resistance 101 first accesses the circuit due to its longer contact. At this time, through the change of resistance and the change of voltage division relationship of the long contact resistance 101, the initial pressure information can be provided. This design enables the pressure sensor to immediately feedback the pressure information when it is initially subjected to pressure, which helps to improve the response speed and initial accuracy of pressure detection. In this embodiment, the contact length of the long contact resistance 101 can be adjusted according to actual needs to optimize its response ability to initial pressure.
[0058] The role of the medium contact resistance 102 is to access the circuit when the pressure reaches a certain threshold, which enables the sensor to provide more accurate detection in different pressure ranges. Similarly, the short contact resistance 103 accesses the circuit when the pressure exceeds the preset threshold, which, together with the long contact resistance 101 and the medium contact resistance 102, covers different pressure ranges, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of pressure detection.
[0059] As can be seen, the cooperative work of contact resistances of different lengths through the multi-section pressure detection method can distinguish and measure different sizes of pressure in detail, thereby improving the accuracy and resolution of pressure detection, enabling the sensor to achieve higher accuracy detection in different pressure ranges, cover a wider pressure range, and provide accurate measurement results in each pressure range.
[0060] The long contact resistance 101, the medium contact resistance 102, and the short contact resistance 103 can be uniformly distributed in the sensing part 1 and in parallel when multiple resistances are accessed.
[0061] Specifically, the contact of the long contact resistance 101 is longer than that of the middle contact resistance 102, and the contact of the middle contact resistance 102 is longer than that of the short contact resistance 103. When the sensing part 1 is pressed, the long contact resistance 101 is first connected to the circuit due to its longer contact, and at this time, the total voltage of the flexible pressure sensor is:
[0062]
[0063] wherein, Rlong is the total resistance of the long contact resistance in the sensing part, Vdrive is the voltage connected to the driving circuit, Rext is the external resistance, Vtotal is the total voltage.
[0064] When the flexible pressure sensor is continuously pressed, the sensing part 1 deforms to the contact of the middle contact resistance 102, and at this time, the total voltage of the flexible pressure sensor is:
[0065]
[0066] wherein, Rmiddle is the total resistance of the middle contact resistance in the sensing part.
[0067] When the force continues to increase, the sensing part 1 deforms to the contact of the short contact resistance 103, and at this time, the total voltage of the flexible pressure sensor is:
[0068]
[0069] wherein, Rshort is the total resistance of the short contact resistance in the sensing part.
[0070] The driving circuit can be connected in sequence with an external power supply, an external resistance 2, an operational amplifier 3, an analog-digital converter 4, and a micro control unit 5.
[0071] Specifically, the external power supply can be set according to specific use scenarios. The external resistor 2 and the sensing part 1 together constitute a voltage dividing circuit. Since the original signal output by the sensing part 1 can be relatively weak, the operational amplifier 3 can enhance the strength of the signal, making it easier to process and analyze subsequently, ensuring the stability and reliability of the signal during transmission, and reducing signal distortion and noise interference. The analog-to-digital converter 4 converts the amplified analog voltage signal into a digital voltage signal, which is convenient for the micro control unit 5 to process and analyze, realizing the connection of analog signals and digital systems, making the output of the sensing part 1 compatible with modern electronic control systems, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of data processing. The receiving end of the micro control unit 5 receives the digital voltage signal from the analog-to-digital converter 4, calculates the total resistance value of the internal resistance element of the sensing part 1 through the digital voltage signal, and calculates the pressure value and change trend of the flexible pressure sensor according to the flexibility coefficient of the positive and negative sensing electrodes. In this embodiment, the output end of the micro control unit 5 can be in communication connection with an external device. Optionally, the external device can be a personal terminal, a server, or a network device, etc.
[0072] In this embodiment, when different contact resistors in the sensing part 1 are accessed, they together determine the voltage distribution in the circuit, which in turn affects the size of the output voltage. This design is also an important part of calculating the voltage value corresponding to the pressure on the sensor.
[0073] For example, a 20mm rubber test head is selected for pressure testing of the flexible pressure sensor, and the experimental test data is shown in Table 1 below:
[0074]
[0075] Table 1
[0076] According to the above data, an example graph of resistance and pressure measurement points can be generated as shown in Figure 3 , which shows the curve relationship between pressure and resistance.
[0077] For another example, when the sensing part 1 is subjected to pressure , deformation occurs, and the deformation formula is: , where is the deformation coefficient of the sensing part 1 substrate. For example, when the deformation of the sensing part 1 causes eight long contact resistors 101, five middle contact resistors 102, and three short contact resistors 103 to contact, the total resistance r at this time is: . By changing the number and length of the contact resistors, the size and direction of the force acting on the sensor can be inferred.
[0078] Therefore, the amount of change in total resistance can be converted into the magnitude of external force. Different directions of force will cause different combinations of contact of contact resistances. By analyzing the distribution of contact resistances of the contacts, the direction of the force can be inferred. For example, if the long contact resistance contact is mainly contacted, it may indicate that the force direction is in a certain specific direction; if the medium contact resistance and the short contact resistance are contacted at the same time, it may indicate that the force direction is in another direction.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, the flexible pressure sensor can further include a connecting line for connecting a plurality of sensing units 1.
[0080] In an optional embodiment, the positive and negative sensing electrode materials of the flexible pressure sensor can be made on the flexible substrate of the base material using conductive silver paste through screen printing technology. The selection of such materials and manufacturing processes aims to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the sensor, ensuring that it can better conform to surfaces of various shapes and still maintain good performance in application scenarios with high flexibility requirements. Conductive silver paste as the sensing electrode material has good conductivity and flexibility, while screen printing technology provides an efficient and precise manufacturing method, allowing the electrodes to be firmly attached to the flexible substrate, thereby forming stable and reliable circuit connections. Through this technical means, the flexible pressure sensor can maintain high flexibility while still achieving accurate pressure detection, solving the limitations of traditional rigid sensors in flexible application scenarios.
[0081] Specifically, the use of conductive silver paste can ensure that the electrodes still maintain good conductivity performance under bending and deformation. Screen printing technology can precisely control the shape and thickness of the electrodes, allowing them to be evenly distributed on the flexible substrate. Further, the composition of conductive silver paste and the parameters of screen printing can be adjusted according to specific application requirements to optimize the performance of the sensor. For example, the deposition thickness of the silver paste can be controlled by adjusting the mesh size of the screen and the printing pressure, thereby affecting the resistance value and flexibility of the electrodes. As a preferred implementation, conductive silver paste can be used in combination with flexible substrate materials such as polyimide or thermoplastic polyurethane to improve the flexibility and durability of the overall structure.
[0082] In optional embodiments, the semiconductive material of the internal resistance element can be composed of a composite of carbon nanotubes and a polymer, with the resistance value of the semiconductive material precisely controlled by adjusting the content of carbon nanotubes. The composite of carbon nanotubes and a polymer can provide adjustable resistance characteristics while maintaining flexibility. The method of adjusting the content of carbon nanotubes allows the resistance value to be precisely controlled according to application requirements, thereby improving the detection accuracy and reliability of the sensor. This combination of materials not only addresses the shortcomings of traditional materials in terms of flexibility and resistance control, but also meets the demand for precise measurement of flexible pressure sensors in different pressure ranges through precise resistance value adjustment. For example, the overall resistance value of the composite material can be adjusted by changing the concentration or distribution of carbon nanotubes to meet the needs of different application scenarios. As a preferred implementation, a solution mixing method can be used to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix, or an in-situ polymerization method can be used to embed carbon nanotubes in polymer chains to form a stable composite material. In addition, the length, diameter, and functionalization degree of carbon nanotubes can be adjusted to further optimize the resistance characteristics and flexibility of the composite material.
[0083] Further, in optional embodiments, for applications requiring measurement of curved surface pressure, the sensing part 1 can be spiral or wavy to improve flexibility and conformability. By designing the sensing part 1 to be spiral or wavy, the flexible pressure sensor can better conform to curved surfaces, improving its application effect on complex-shaped surfaces. This shape design allows the flexible pressure sensor to better adapt to the bending and deformation of the surface when subjected to external pressure, thereby achieving more accurate pressure measurement. The sensing part 1 can use medical-grade silicone as the base material, and during actual use, those skilled in the art can use mold forming technology to manufacture the medical-grade silicone into the required flexible base shape, ensuring its close fit with the sensing components. A thin layer of medical-grade silicone coating can also be formed on other flexible materials through coating or casting to enhance the flexibility and biocompatibility of the overall structure. In addition, medical-grade silicone can be used in combination with other functional materials, such as the conductive silver paste or carbon nanotube composite mentioned above, to further enhance the performance and stability of the sensor.
[0084] In summary, the present application uses internal resistance elements with different contact lengths to form a multi-segment pressure detection mechanism, thereby improving the accuracy and resolution of pressure detection. At the same time, the use of flexible substrates and sealing materials makes the sensor have good flexibility, allowing it to adapt to surfaces of different shapes and be suitable for application scenarios such as wearable devices. Through the design of the driving circuit, amplification and digital processing of the pressure signal are achieved, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the detection results.
