Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pressure sensor calibration method and a pressure sensor calibration system. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, pressure sensors are often attached to various objects. For example, research is being conducted on estimating the movement of a subject's hand from the pressure measured by a glove equipped with multiple pressure sensors attached to the subject. For example, the movement is estimated based on the measurements of the multiple pressure sensors, such as the shape of the fingers and the state of gripping, such as how the fingers are bent or whether the fingers are gripping something.

[0003] Depending on how the pressure sensor is attached, it may show different values ​​even when the same pressure is applied. In addition, pressure sensors may show different values ​​even when the same pressure is applied due to individual differences and deterioration. Therefore, multiple pressure sensors need to be calibrated to measure the difference between the actual measured value and the actual pressure.

[0004] Techniques relating to the calibration of pressure sensors are disclosed, for example, in the following: [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] However, the calibration of the pressure sensor may be performed multiple times in a short period of time because the measured pressure may vary due to deterioration or the usage state. Therefore, it is preferable that the calibration of the pressure sensor can be performed in as short a time as possible. It is also preferable that the preparation for the calibration of the pressure sensor can be performed in as short a time as possible with as little effort as possible.

[0016] [First embodiment] A first embodiment will be described.

[0017] <Configuration example of pressure sensor calibration system 1000> 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a pressure sensor calibration system 1000. The pressure sensor calibration system 1000 is a system that calibrates the measurement value of a pressure sensor of an apparatus that includes (is attached to) a pressure sensor to be calibrated (hereinafter, may be referred to as an apparatus to be calibrated).

[0018] The pressure sensor calibration system 1000 includes a calibration target device 100, a pressure sensor calibration device 200, and an actual pressure measurement device 300. Each device is connected, for example, by wire. Also, each device may be connected or disconnected, for example, as needed.

[0019] The real pressure measuring device 300 is a device that measures the real pressure (the pressure that is actually applied) applied to the calibration target device 100. The real pressure measuring device 300 is a device that measures the pressure applied within a predetermined range, and is, for example, a pressure measuring instrument that uses a pressure-sensitive sheet.

[0020] The calibration target device 100 is a device or an article having a plurality of pressure sensors. For example, the calibration target device 100 is a glove with pressure sensors attached at positions corresponding to the fingers, joints, palm, etc. Below, the calibration target device 100 will be described using a glove as an example, but the calibration target device 100 may be another device or article.

[0021] The pressure sensor calibration device 200 is a device that calibrates the measurement value of a pressure sensor attached to the calibration target device 100, and is, for example, a computer or a server machine. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 acquires the actual pressure measured by the actual pressure measuring device 300 and the measurement value of the pressure sensor of the calibration target device 100 when pressure is applied to the calibration target device 100. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 then calculates an equation (hereinafter, may be referred to as a calibration equation) to be used for calibration from the actual pressure and the measurement value of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 then calibrates the measurement value of the pressure sensor of the calibration target device 100 using the calibration equation. Note that although the calibration of the pressure sensor is performed by the pressure sensor calibration device 200, some processing may be performed by a person (an examiner).

[0022] <Configuration Example of Pressure Sensor Calibration Device 200> 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the pressure sensor calibration device 200. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 210, a storage 220, a memory 230, a communication circuit 240, and a display 250.

[0023] The storage 220 is an auxiliary storage device that stores programs and data, such as a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage 220 stores an actual pressure measurement program 221, a pressure sensor measurement program 222, a calibration equation calculation program 223, and a pressure sensor calibration program 224.

[0024] The memory 230 is an area into which the programs stored in the storage 220 are loaded. The memory 230 may also be used as an area in which the programs store data.

[0025] The communication circuit 240 is a circuit that connects to the pressure sensor of the calibration target device 100 and the actual pressure measuring device 300, and is, for example, a wired circuit.

[0026] The display 250 is a device that displays (outputs) the calibration result (the pressure value after calibration), and is, for example, a liquid crystal monitor. Note that the pressure sensor calibration device 200 may output the calibration result as a file in addition to or instead of the display 250. Furthermore, the pressure sensor calibration device 200 may output the calibration formula, the actual pressure measurement, and the like, in addition to the calibration result.

[0027] The CPU 210 is a processor that loads programs stored in the storage 220 into the memory 230, executes the loaded programs, configures each unit, and realizes each process.

[0028] The CPU 210 executes the real pressure measurement program 221 to construct a measurement unit and perform real pressure measurement processing. The real pressure measurement processing is processing for measuring the real pressure acting on the calibration target device 100 using the real pressure measurement device 300. In the real pressure measurement processing, for example, a tester places the calibration target device 100 on the real pressure measurement device 300 and applies force from above the calibration target device 100 to measure the real pressure acting on the calibration target device 100.

[0029] The CPU 210 executes the image analysis module 2211 of the real pressure measurement program 221 to construct an image analysis unit and perform image analysis processing. The image analysis processing is used, for example, when the real pressure measurement device 300 has a measurement surface (e.g., a pressure-sensitive sheet) whose color changes depending on the pressure applied. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 photographs (or acquires as data) the measurement surface whose color has changed after measurement, performs image analysis processing, and calculates a predetermined range on the measurement surface (e.g., corresponding to the position and size of each pressure-sensitive sensor) and the pressure applied to the predetermined range.

[0030] The CPU 210 executes the pressure sensor measurement program 222 to construct a measurement unit and perform pressure sensor measurement processing. The pressure sensor measurement processing is processing for acquiring a measurement value of a pressure sensor possessed by the calibration target device 100. For example, in the pressure sensor measurement processing, the pressure sensor calibration device 200 measures a pressure corresponding to an actual pressure (at the actual pressure measurement timing) when an actual pressure measurement processing is executed. In the pressure sensor measurement processing, the pressure sensor calibration device 200 acquires a measurement value for each pressure sensor. Note that in the operation stage after calibration, the pressure sensor measurement processing may be executed at a time other than when the actual pressure measurement processing is executed.

[0031] The CPU 210 executes the calibration equation calculation program 223 to construct a calculation unit and perform a calibration equation calculation process. The calibration equation calculation process is a process for calculating a calibration equation for calibrating the measurement value of the pressure sensor of the calibration target device 100. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 calculates a calibration equation for each pressure sensor using the measurement value of the pressure sensor corresponding to the actual pressure.

[0032] The CPU 210 executes the pressure sensor calibration program 224 to construct a calibration unit and perform pressure sensor calibration processing. The pressure sensor calibration processing is processing for calibrating the measurement values ​​of the pressure sensors of the calibration target device 100 during actual operation. The pressure sensor calibration processing is processing for calibrating the measurement values ​​of each pressure sensor using a calculated calibration formula and outputting the calibrated values.

[0033] <Configuration example of actual pressure measuring device 300> 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a real pressure measuring device 300. The real pressure measuring device 300 has a plurality of pressure-sensitive sheets 310 and a calibration board 320 (a board for calibration).

[0034] The pressure-sensitive sheet 310 is a sheet that changes color according to the pressure applied from the direction of the arrow. The pressure-sensitive sheet is coated with a color developer, and colorless ink seeps out from capsules that are broken by pressure and reacts chemically with the color developer to develop color.

[0035] 4 is a diagram showing an example of the calibration board 320. The calibration board 320 is a board that indicates the position on which the calibration target device 100 is placed. The calibration board 320 is made of, for example, a hard board (for example, a plastic board).

[0036] On the calibration board 320, for example, a calibration target device model 321 is drawn assuming that calibration will be performed repeatedly. By placing (placing) the calibration target device 100 on the outlined calibration target device model 321, the tester can place the calibration target device 100 in the same position each time even when performing calibration processing multiple times, and can measure the actual pressure of the pressure sensor using the same coordinates. For example, if the calibration target device 100 is a glove, the calibration target device model 321 is the shape of a hand.

[0037] The calibration board 320 also has, for example, a plurality of unevenness absorbing parts 322. The unevenness absorbing parts 322 are, for example, parts that are attached to parts that are difficult to press against a flat pressure-sensitive sheet, and rubber plates or the like are used. When measuring a pressure sensor attached to a glove, the unevenness absorbing parts 322 are attached to, for example, finger joints or recessed parts near the center of the palm. The unevenness absorbing parts 322 absorb unevenness of the calibration target device 100 or unevenness generated when the calibration target device 100 is used, and prevent the pressure of the recessed parts from being measured at a very small value (or not being measured) or the pressure of the protruding parts from being measured at a very large value. This allows measurements to be made with the same pressure for the recessed parts and the protruding parts.

[0038] 3, the calibration board 320 is located at the bottom of the real pressure measuring device 300. This is because the pressure-sensitive sheet 310 is transparent, so that the calibration target device model 321 on the bottom calibration board 320 can be seen from above. If the pressure-sensitive sheet is not transparent, the calibration board 320 may be located at the top, for example. In this case, the calibration board is made of soft paper, vinyl, or the like to prevent any effect on the actual pressure to be measured.

[0039] <Configuration Example of Calibration Target Device 100> 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the calibration target device 100. The calibration target device 100 is, for example, a glove. Two types of pressure sensors are attached to the glove. The pressure sensors are palm sensors, and for example, 30 sensors are attached to the fingers or palm. The pressure sensors are joint sensors, and for example, 15 sensors are attached to the joints of the fingers or palm. Each pressure sensor is connected to the pressure sensor calibration device 200 by wire, for example, and transmits a measurement value at a predetermined time interval (for example, every 0.1 seconds).

[0040] The unevenness absorbing portion 322 of the calibration board 320 is disposed, for example, at the mounting position of the indirect sensor.

[0041] <Calibration formula calculation process> The pressure sensor calibration device 200 executes a calibration equation calculation process S100. The calibration equation calculation process S100 is a process for calculating a calibration equation for each pressure sensor, and includes a process for measuring the measured value and the actual pressure of the pressure sensor.

[0042] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a processing flowchart of the calibration equation calculation process. An examiner sets the calibration target device 100 on the real pressure measuring device 300 (S101). Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of setting the calibration target device 100 on the real pressure measuring device 300. As shown in Fig. 7, an examiner places (installs) the calibration target device 100 on the real pressure measuring device 300.

[0043] Returning to the process flowchart of FIG. 6, the tester and the pressure sensor calibration device 200 perform the measurement process (S102).

[0044] The measurement process is a process for measuring the actual pressure and the measured value of the pressure sensor. The tester fits the surface of the hand to the shape of the calibration target device 100 (glove) shown in FIG. 7 and presses (presses) from above. The pressing is performed for, for example, 5 seconds. The pressing force is weak in the first measurement process and strong in the second measurement process. "Weak" and "strong" may be subjective values ​​of the tester, but "weak force" (first force) is smaller in pressure than "strong force" (second force). The measurement order of "strong" and "weak" may be reversed. The difference between "strong force" and "weak force" is preferably as large as possible because they are used later to calculate a regression equation (calibration equation) using linear interpolation.

[0045] In the measurement process S102, the pressure sensor calibration device 200 acquires measurement data (image data of the pressure-sensitive sheet) by the actual pressure measuring device 300 and measurement values ​​of the pressure sensor. Then, the pressure sensor calibration device 200 performs image analysis processing on the measurement data by the actual pressure measuring device 300 to acquire the actual pressure.

[0046] If the measurement process is the first time (Yes in S103), the tester and the pressure sensor calibration device 200 perform the measurement process again (S102). When the second measurement process is completed (No in S103), the tester and the pressure sensor calibration device 200 calculate the calibration formula from the measurement value (S104) and end the process.

[0047] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of measurement data by the real pressure measuring device 300. FIG. 8(A) is a diagram showing an example of image data around the index finger. In FIG. 8(A), the darker the color, the higher the real pressure. Alternatively, FIG. 8(A) shows the real pressure according to the color. Alternatively, range 1 shows, for example, the range of the flat sensor 4 (see FIG. 5). According to FIG. 8(A), it can be seen that the real pressure in the second measurement process is stronger than the real pressure in the first measurement process.

[0048] Fig. 8(B) is a diagram showing an example of the result of image analysis of the image data in range 1 of Fig. 8(A). The pressure sensor calibration device 200 uses the average pressure value ("3. Average pressure [MPa]") as the actual pressure of the flat sensor 4.

[0049] The pressure sensor calibration device 200 stores in advance the correspondence between the ranges in the image data and each pressure sensor. As shown in Fig. 4, by recording the calibration target device type 321 on the calibration board 320, it becomes possible to perform actual measurement in the same positional relationship every time, so the pressure sensor calibration device 200 only needs to store the correspondence between the ranges and each pressure sensor once, and does not need to reset the correspondence for each measurement.

[0050] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of pressure sensor measurement values. Fig. 9(A) is a diagram showing an example of time-series measurement values ​​of the pressure sensor. Fig. 9(A) shows that the second measurement value generally indicates a higher value (except for the start and end) than the first measurement value.

[0051] Fig. 9(B) is a diagram showing an example of data obtained by digitizing the measurement values ​​in Fig. 9(A). The pressure sensor calibration device 200 uses the median value ("Med") as the measurement value of the pressure sensor. This is to exclude data at the start and end of the measurement, for example, when there is a large measurement error.

[0052] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a calibration formula. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 employs a regression formula using linear interpolation as the calibration formula. As shown in the graph of FIG. 10, it is assumed that the logarithm of the pressure sensor measurement value and the logarithm of the actual pressure can be expressed by a linear formula. Equation 1 is a diagram showing an example of the regression formula. Equation 2 is a method for calculating the constant of the regression formula of Equation 1. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 calculates the regression formula of Equation 1 for each pressure sensor and uses it to calibrate the pressure sensor measurement value in actual operation.

[0053] <Pressure sensor calibration process> The pressure sensor calibration device 200 executes a pressure sensor calibration process S200 in actual operation. The pressure sensor calibration process S200 is a process of acquiring a measurement value for each pressure sensor when the calibration target device 100 is in use in actual operation, and calibrating the measurement value using a calibration formula.

[0054] 11 is a diagram showing an example of a process flowchart of the pressure sensor calibration process S200. The pressure sensor calibration device 200 uses the calibration target device 100 in actual operation, and acquires the measured values ​​of each pressure sensor (S201).

[0055] The pressure sensor calibration device 200 calculates a calibration value using the acquired measurement value and a calibration formula (S202). The pressure sensor calibration device 200 uses the calibration formula of the pressure sensor corresponding to the measurement value from among a plurality of calibration formulas that exist for each pressure sensor.

[0056] The pressure sensor calibration device 200 outputs the calculated calibration value (S203). The output is, for example, displayed on a display or output to a file.

[0057] If the measurement is not completed (No in S204), the pressure sensor calibration device 200 repeats steps S201 to S203. If the measurement is completed (Yes in S204), the pressure sensor calibration device 200 ends the process.

[0058] [Other embodiments] The calibration target device 100 may be something other than a glove. Also, the actual pressure measurement device 300 may be something other than the pressure-sensitive sheet shown in the embodiment. For example, instead of a pressure-sensitive sheet that indicates the actual pressure by a difference in color density or color, a pressure-sensitive sheet that indicates the actual pressure by a numerical value or a shape may be used. In this case, the image analysis is not to distinguish the color density or color, but to perform numerical value recognition or shape recognition.

[0059] The calibration formula calculation process is performed as appropriate depending on the type of the calibration target device 100. For example, if the pressure sensor is attached simply and the attachment condition is easily changed, the calibration formula calculation process may be performed frequently in actual operation. For example, if the pressure sensor is attached firmly and the attachment condition is hardly changed, the calibration formula calculation process may be performed at the start of actual operation (for example, once a day). The frequency of the calibration formula calculation process may be performed as appropriate depending on the degree of deterioration of the pressure sensor, the frequency of use of the calibration target device 100, the degree of pressure applied, the frequency of continuous use, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
