The invention discloses a micro-
pressure sensing electrode and a sensing method, belonging to the technical field of
pressure sensing, comprising a bottom plate and a pressure-receiving plate, wherein the pressure-receiving plate is arranged on the upper side of the bottom plate, an acrylic insulating shell is arranged at one end of the pressure-receiving plate and the bottom plate close to each other, a pressure-sensing mechanism is arranged between the two acrylic insulating shells, and the pressure-sensing mechanism is used for
pressure detection; the pressure-sensing mechanism comprises an upper PCB board, a lower PCB board and a
dielectric elastomer, wherein the upper PCB board and the lower PCB board are respectively installed in the two acrylic insulating shells, and the upper PCB board is located on the upper side of the lower PCB board, and the
dielectric elastomer is arranged between the upper PCB board and the lower PCB board; in the invention, the
dielectric elastomer is composed of a
polymer material, and while ensuring elasticity, its supporting force is smaller than that of a spring, thereby replacing the setting of a traditional elastic member using a spring, and in addition, the force is measured by detecting the
capacitance change of the dielectric elastomer, and the force is more sensitive, so that the sensing
electrode can detect micro-pressure and increase the detection accuracy.
