Specifically, a filling space may be first prepared for the flexible substrate precursor liquid material through the mold, the flexible substrate precursor liquid material is filled into the filling space, and is heated and cured to form the flexible substrate, then the structure of the liquid conductive medium storage region is prepared on the flexible substrate, the liquid conductive medium is filled into the liquid conductive medium storage region, and finally the flexible substrate precursor liquid material is filled again on the surface of the liquid conductive medium, so as to complete the encapsulation of the structure of the liquid conductive medium storage region, and form the accommodating cavity 110. It is understood that the receiving cavity 110 can be obtained in other ways, and the embodiment is not limited.
The shape of the accommodating cavity 110 can be circular, polygonal, oval, etc., and the specific shape is selected according to actual conditions. In the embodiment of the present application, the accommodating cavity 110 is circular, the circular accommodating cavity 110 can form runners in more directions, and the flow of the liquid conductive medium is not affected by the shape of the accommodating cavity 110, so that the stress direction and the stress size of the flexible sensor can be more accurately determined.
The liquid conductive medium can be liquid metal, salt water, sulfuric acid solution and the like, as long as a large number of anions and cations exist in the liquid, the application takes the liquid conductive medium as the liquid metal for example, and the liquid metal with a certain oxidation degree is easy to form. Liquid metal refers to an amorphous metal that can be viewed as a mixture of a positively ionic fluid and a free electron gas. Liquid metal is also a flowable liquid metal. This application is filled into and is held chamber 110 with liquid metal, utilizes liquid metal's mobility, receives the exogenic action when holding chamber 110, and the liquid metal that holds in the chamber 110 can receive the extrusion of exogenic force to flow. In this application, the liquid metal filled in the accommodating cavity 110 mainly includes liquid metal such as gallium indium tin alloy (Galinstan), gallium indium alloy (EGaIn), gallium zinc alloy (GaZn), or gallium tin alloy (GaSn), and the specific composition of the liquid metal filled in the accommodating cavity 110 is not limited in this embodiment.
The flexible sensor provided by the present application includes at least two electrical signal measuring devices 120, where the at least two electrical signal measuring devices 120 are respectively communicated with the accommodating cavity 110, and a connection line between any two electrical signal measuring devices 120 and the accommodating cavity 110 has an included angle. In one embodiment, the connection angles between two adjacent electrical signal measuring devices 120 and the accommodating cavity 110 are equal.
As shown in fig. 1, the flexible sensor includes four electrical signal measuring devices 120, the four electrical signal measuring devices 120 are disposed in different directions of the accommodating cavity 110, and the connection included angles between any two adjacent electrical signal measuring devices 120 and the accommodating cavity 110 are equal, so that the liquid metal in the accommodating cavity 110 has flow channels in multiple directions, and when the accommodating cavity 110 is subjected to an external force, the liquid metal flows into different electrical signal measuring devices 120 along the flow channels in different directions according to the direction and the size of the applied force. The electric signal measuring device 120 senses corresponding parameters according to the flow of the liquid metal, and the stress direction and the stress magnitude of the flexible sensor can be determined by analyzing the parameters of the electric signal measuring devices 120. The flexible sensor provided by the application conforms to the kinematic design of a human body, and simultaneously realizes the determination of the directivity through the parameters measured by the plurality of electric signal measuring devices 120. The parameters may include electrical performance parameters such as capacitance and voltage.
It is understood that the number and the arrangement positions of the electrical signal measuring devices 120 in fig. 1 are only illustrative and are not limited to the specific number and arrangement positions. The number and the arrangement position of the electric signal measuring devices 120 can be freely adjusted according to the actual situation, and the number of the electric signal measuring devices 120 should be at least two due to the requirement of the directional function.
The flexible sensor provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a containing cavity 110 and at least two electric signal measuring devices 120; wherein: the accommodating chamber 110 is filled with liquid metal; the at least two electric signal measuring devices 120 are respectively communicated with the accommodating cavity 110, and a connecting line between any two electric signal measuring devices 120 and the accommodating cavity 110 has an included angle, so that after the liquid metal in the pressure accommodating cavity 110 is filled in the electric signal measuring devices 120, parameters of the at least two electric signal measuring devices 120 are detected, and the stress direction and the stress magnitude of the flexible sensor are determined according to the parameters. The application provides a flexible sensor sets up electric signal measuring device 120 through a plurality of directions at holding chamber 110, utilizes the mobility that holds liquid metal in chamber 110, when external force action extrusion, can flow into the liquid metal of equidimension in the electric signal measuring device 120 of equidirectional not, and then can confirm flexible sensor's atress direction and atress size according to liquid metal's inflow.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the electrical signal measuring device 120 includes a valve structure 121 and a capacitive sensor 122; the capacitive sensor 122 includes a first electrode cavity 1221 and a second electrode cavity 1222; the first electrode cavity 1221 is spaced apart from the second electrode cavity 1222;
the first electrode cavity 1221 and the second electrode cavity 1222 are respectively communicated with the accommodating cavity 110 through the valve structure 121, and are used for inducing corresponding capacitance according to the capacity of the liquid conductive medium entering the first electrode cavity 1221 and the second electrode cavity 1222;
the valve structure 121 adjusts the valve opening according to the magnitude of the pressure and the direction;
when the flexible sensor is under pressure, the liquid conductive medium in the accommodating cavity 110 fills the first electrode cavity 1221 and the second electrode cavity 1222 through the valve structure 121.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, a valve structure 121 is disposed adjacent to the receiving chamber 110, and the liquid metal in the receiving chamber 110 flows into the capacitive sensor 122 through the valve structure 121. In the use process of the flexible sensor, when a human body performs directional stretching action and performs directional stretching on the accommodating cavity 110 of the flexible sensor (for example, under the combined action of stretching and bending of the elbow part), the liquid metal in the accommodating cavity 110 is squeezed into the capacitive sensor 122 due to the fluidity of the liquid metal. In addition, because the valve structure 121 has elasticity, the valve structure 121 in each direction has different deformation under the action of external force in a certain direction, so that the valve structure 121 has different blocking capabilities on the liquid metal, the amount of the liquid metal flowing into the electric signal measuring device 120 in each direction is different, and the force direction and the force magnitude are judged according to the magnitude of the electric signal. Specifically, the valve structure 121 in the stretching direction is stretched longitudinally, the flow channel of the valve structure 121 is elongated and thinned, which is not beneficial to the liquid metal intrusion, and the valve structure 121 perpendicular to the stretching direction is stretched transversely, the flow channel of the valve structure 121 is enlarged, which is beneficial to the liquid metal intrusion, so that under the directional stretching action, different amounts of liquid metal rush into the capacitive sensors 122 in different directions, and thus the capacitances sensed by the capacitive sensors 122 in different directions are different.
In another embodiment, a plurality of support structures 111 are disposed within the receiving cavity 110, the support structures 111 extending toward the electrical signal measuring device 120 with the center of the receiving cavity 110.
The number of the supporting structures 111 and the number of the electrical signal measuring devices 120 may be equal, and the material of the supporting structures 111 side may be the same as the material of the substrate, for example, PDMS. The present embodiment can prevent the inlet position of the valve structure 121 from being blocked during the pressing of the receiving chamber 110 by providing the supporting structure 111 in the receiving chamber 110.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the valve structure 121 includes a first conduit 1211 and a second conduit 1212 that are flexible and sleeved; the first end of the first conduit 1211 is connected to the accommodating cavity 110, the first end of the second conduit 1212 is connected to the capacitive sensor 122, the second end of the second conduit 1212 extends into the first conduit 1211 from the second end of the first conduit 1211 and is connected to the first conduit 1211, and the tube diameters of the first conduit 1211 and the second conduit 1212 are gradually reduced in a direction extending from the first end to the second end.
When the valve structure 121 is longitudinally stretched, as shown in fig. 5, the flow paths of the first conduit 1211 and the second conduit 1212 are in a contracted state, the second end of the first conduit 1211 is pressed against the second end of the second conduit 1212, so that the opening of the valve structure 121 is reduced, the larger the force applied, the smaller the opening of the valve structure 121 is until the opening is closed, and the liquid metal in the accommodating cavity 110 is difficult to flush into the capacitance sensor 122 through the valve structure 121. When the receiving chamber 110 is restored, the liquid metal flowing into the capacitive sensor 122 flows into the first conduit 1211 communicating with the receiving chamber 110 through the second conduit 1212, and then flows into the receiving chamber 110.
When the valve structure 121 is stretched in the transverse direction, as shown in fig. 6, the flow paths of the first conduit 1211 and the second conduit 1212 are in the expanded state, and the second end of the second conduit 1212 is no longer pressed by the second end of the first conduit 1211, so that the valve structure 121 is in the open state, and the liquid metal in the accommodating cavity 110 can easily pass through the valve structure 121, so that the liquid metal can easily flush into the capacitance sensor 122. When the receiving chamber 110 is restored, the liquid metal flowing into the capacitive sensor 122 flows into the first conduit 1211 communicating with the receiving chamber 110 through the second conduit 1212, and then flows into the receiving chamber 110.
The amount of liquid metal in the capacitive sensor 122 parallel to the stretching direction is less, and the amount of liquid metal in the capacitive sensor 122 perpendicular to the stretching direction is more, so that the capacitance value of the capacitive sensor 122 perpendicular to the stretching direction is high, and the capacitance value of the capacitive sensor 122 parallel to the stretching direction is low, so that the magnitude and the direction of the stress can be judged according to the magnitude of the capacitance.
The capacitive sensor 122 is formed by injecting a liquid metal layer between two flexible substrates, so that the two flexible substrates can be prevented from being adhered together during the manufacturing process. In another embodiment, the capacitive sensor 122 comprises an interdigital capacitor. The interdigital capacitor can be printed by a 3D printing method, the interdigital capacitor is arranged on a flexible substrate and is composed of a first electrode cavity 1221 and a second electrode cavity 1222 which are arranged in a crossed mode, the number and the distance of the interdigital can be selected according to the requirement of sensitivity, and a capacitor structure is formed between the first electrode cavity 1221 and the second electrode cavity 1222 and used for inducing corresponding capacitance according to the capacity of liquid metal. In another embodiment, the interdigital capacitor has a certain thickness, and in this embodiment, the interdigital capacitor has a certain thickness, for example, 20 μm, so as to prevent the first electrode cavity 1221 and the second electrode cavity 1222 from being stuck. The specific thickness of the interdigital capacitor can also be selected according to the actual situation, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the electrical signal measuring device 120 further includes solid-state electrodes including a first electrode 131 and a second electrode 132; the first electrode 131 is connected to the first electrode chamber 1221, and the second electrode 132 is connected to the second electrode chamber 1222, for detecting a capacitance value of the capacitive sensor 122. And the position of the solid electrode is connected with an electric signal receiver, the capacitance value induced by each capacitor is measured, and the stress direction and the stress size of the flexible sensor are determined according to the measured capacitance values. The capacitive sensor 122 and the electrical signal receiver may be connected by a solid metal wire or a conductive polymer.

In one embodiment, the providing a flexible substrate mold, filling a flexible substrate precursor in the flexible substrate mold and curing to form a flexible substrate includes:
providing a rigid substrate;

and filling a flexible substrate precursor into the flexible substrate mould until the flexible substrate mould is filled with the precursor and solidified to form the flexible substrate.
When the flexible substrate mould is printed, the flexible substrate mould can be printed on the surface of the rigid substrate through a 3D printing technology. The material for forming the mold comprises terpolymer ABS of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polyamide (PA) and styrene, and the like, and the flexible substrate can be Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Polyimide (PI), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the like.

Because the hard mould material solidifies fast, the structure is difficult for collapsing, the three-dimensional structure that the chamber and the signal of telecommunication measuring device that use hard mould preparation are more accurate. In addition, different size requirements of the accommodating cavity and the electric signal measuring device can be met by controlling the height of the die or printing a plurality of layers of dies in a stacking mode. The material of the containing cavity and the valve structure can be the same as that of the flexible substrate, and is Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Polyimide (PI), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the like. The liquid conductive medium can be liquid metal, and it should be noted that if only one layer of structure is provided, there is no special requirement on the oxidation degree of the liquid metal; if a hard mold needs to be printed on the surface of the upper layer flexible substrate of the liquid metal, the liquid metal with the oxidation degree of 1-3 wt% is adopted, namely the ratio of gallium oxide to gallium is 1-3 wt%, and the liquid metal in the state is easy to form and can play a certain supporting role.

Of course, the second mold of the accommodating cavity and the corresponding position of the electrical signal measuring device can be removed, and when packaging is performed, the upper mold is printed on the flexible substrate mold, and the packaging is completed by filling the flexible substrate precursor. If the prepared flexible sensor has special shape requirements, a hard mold with a corresponding shape can be printed on the surface of the upper layer flexible substrate, and then a flexible substrate precursor is filled in, and the flexible substrate precursor is solidified to form a corresponding shape.

(2) And filling the PDMS flexible substrate precursor liquid material into the flexible substrate mold until the flexible substrate mold is filled. Heating to 80 ℃ by a heating plate, and heating for 20min to finish curing to form the PDMS flexible substrate.
(3) Using a PDMS flexible substrate precursor liquid material, the accommodating chamber 110 having the support structure 111, the capacitive sensors 122, and the valve structures 121 corresponding to each capacitive sensor 122 are prepared by 3D printing on the PDMS flexible substrate and cured. Or printing and curing a second mold on the PDMS flexible substrate and/or the flexible substrate mold using a PVC material according to the shapes of the accommodating cavity 110, the capacitive sensor 122, and the valve structure 121, then filling a liquid material of a precursor of the PDMS flexible substrate into the second mold until the second mold is filled and cured, and removing the accommodating cavity and the second mold having the corresponding shapes of the electrical signal measuring device. The capacitive sensor 122 area is rectangular, 4cm by 3 cm. The four electrical signal measuring devices 120 form a cross; the receiving chamber 110 is circular and has a diameter of 7 cm.
(4) The liquid metal EGaIn is filled in the liquid conductive medium storage region of the accommodating chamber 110, so that the surface of the liquid metal is naturally oxidized to form a fixed shape and a fixed region.
(5) A corresponding pattern was printed in the capacitance sensing region by a 3D printing method using EGaIn having a high viscosity and an oxidation degree of 1.7 wt% in a thickness of 20 μm according to the shapes of the valve structure 121 and the capacitive sensor 122.
(6) The solid electrode is arranged near the valve structure 121, the deformation of the middle position is large, and the deformation of the two sides is small during stretching, so that the solid electrode and the flexible substrate are prevented from being debonded during stretching.
(7) And printing an upper layer mold on the flexible substrate mold, filling a flexible substrate precursor liquid material on the surface of the liquid metal and the solid electrode again, and heating and curing to complete the integral packaging of the flexible sensor.
(8) And removing the rigid substrate and the upper layer die, and connecting the solid-state electrode with an electric signal receiver to finish the preparation of the flexible sensor.
The present application further provides a method for using the flexible sensor, as shown in fig. 8, the method for using the flexible sensor includes steps 810 to 830, where:
step 810, placing the accommodating cavity 110 of the flexible sensor on the surface of the body to be measured, and sticking a plurality of electric signal measuring devices 120 on different directions of the surface of the body to be measured;
step 820, acquiring parameters of each electrical signal measuring device 120;
and 830, determining the stress direction and the stress magnitude of the surface of the body to be tested according to the parameters.
The present application illustrates the use of the flexible sensor for the knee region prepared as described above. The method is characterized in that the accommodating cavity 110 of the prepared flexible sensor is arranged on the surface of a body to be measured, and the method specifically comprises the following steps of:
(1) two electric signal measuring devices 120 of the flexible sensor are pasted to the knee part in parallel with the muscle stretching direction, and the other two electric signal measuring devices 120 are pasted to the two sides of the knee in perpendicular to the muscle stretching direction. The flexible sensor is adhered around the accommodating cavity 110 and the electrical signal measuring device 120 in a point mode through an adhesive dressing, so that the pressing of the accommodating cavity 110 and the stretching process of the electrical signal measuring device 120 are relatively independent.
(2) The knee can produce the squeezing action to holding chamber 110 when crooked, simultaneously, parallel and when the valve structure 121 of atress direction received longitudinal stretching, valve structure 121 closed, and liquid metal is more difficult to gush into electric signal measuring device 120, and perpendicular and valve structure 121 of atress direction receive transverse stretching, valve structure 121 opening enlarges, and liquid metal more easily gushes into electric signal measuring device 120. The amount of liquid metal poured into the capacitance sensors 122 in the four electrical signal measuring devices 120 is different, the amount of liquid metal in the capacitance sensors 122 parallel to the stretching direction is less, and the amount of liquid metal in the capacitance sensors 122 perpendicular to the stretching direction is more, so that the capacitance value of the vertical capacitance sensor 122 is high, and the capacitance value of the parallel capacitance sensor 122 is low, and therefore, the motion state of the knee is judged to be curved, the difference between the two capacitance values is larger, and the degree of curve of the knee is larger. The motion state of the knee is deduced from the difference of the electrical signals.
(3) When the liquid conductive medium storage area is restored, the liquid metal easily flows out of the electric signal measuring device 120 and returns to the accommodating chamber 110 due to the valve structure 121.
(4) Repeating the above circulation actions to complete the measurement of the knee motion state.
