Fig. 3-6 are schematic diagrams illustrating the operation of an active pressure sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the active pressure sensor converts mechanical energy into an electrical signal according to the following operation principle: referring to fig. 3, in an initial state, when a side surface B of the first metal electrode layer 10 facing away from the second metal electrode layer 20 is under pressure, the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 deforms, a groove bottom and/or a side wall of the groove structure a contacts and rubs with the second metal electrode layer 20 to generate negative charges on one side of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30, and positive charges on one side of the second metal electrode layer 20; referring to fig. 4, when pressure is released on one side surface B of the first metal electrode layer 10, the groove structure a gradually recovers to its original shape, and due to electrostatic induction, the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 induces a certain positive charge on the first metal electrode layer 10, so that a potential difference is formed between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20, electrons move from the first metal electrode layer 10 to the second metal electrode layer 20 to balance the potential difference, and a current directed from the second metal electrode layer 20 to the first metal electrode layer 10 is formed; referring to fig. 5, when the pressure is completely released at one side surface of the first metal electrode layer 10, the groove structure a is completely restored, and the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 induces the maximum amount of positive charges on the first metal electrode layer 10; referring to fig. 6, when the surface of the first metal electrode layer 10 on the side away from the second metal electrode layer 20 is stressed again, the groove structure a deforms again, and due to the electrostatic induction, a potential difference is formed between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 again, so that electrons are driven to move from the second metal electrode layer 20 to the first metal electrode layer 10, and a current directed from the first metal electrode layer 10 to the second metal electrode layer 20 is formed; referring to fig. 3 again, when the surface of the first metal electrode layer 10 facing away from the second metal electrode layer 20 is subjected to the maximum bearing pressure, the groove bottom and the side wall of the groove structure a contact and rub with the second metal electrode layer 20 again to generate negative charges on the side of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 and positive charges on the side of the second metal electrode layer 20; therefore, in the reciprocating cycle process of applying acting force, releasing acting force and applying acting force again on the first metal electrode layer 10, electrons reciprocate between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 to generate alternating current, the design of no need of external circuit power supply, zero power consumption and active pressure sensors is realized, and the problems that the pressure sensors in the prior art are high in power consumption and cannot continuously monitor for a long time are solved.
It should be noted that fig. 7 is a graph illustrating an experimental result of the magnitude of the open-circuit voltage and the pressure in the active pressure sensor according to the embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 7, in the actual open circuit voltage detection process of the pressure sensor, the open circuit voltage between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 measured by the pressure sensor is positively correlated with the magnitude of the pressure, that is, the measured open circuit voltage between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 gradually increases with the increase of the external force applied to the first metal electrode layer 10; therefore, the active sensor can reversely represent the magnitude of the applied pressure according to the measured magnitude of the open-circuit voltage; here, a theoretical model is established for explanation:
firstly, in order to simplify the model, as shown in fig. 2-3, it is assumed that the groove structures a of the active pressure sensor are all hemispheres, and each groove structure a is regarded as a unit block, which is N in total; further, it is assumed that when an external force is applied to the side surface B of the first metal electrode layer 10, the first metal electrode layer 10 and the portion between the flexible dielectric layer 30 and the first metal electrode layer 10 are not deformed, and only the groove structure a is deformed; thus, when an external force is applied, the groove structure A generates an inherent elastic force which causes deformation to offset the applied force; when the elastic force and the applied force are equal, the groove structure A reaches balance and does not deform any more; as shown in fig. 2, the open-circuit voltage V between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 measured by the pressure sensor is analyzed by simulating the deformation process of the groove structure a by applying a pressure F2 OC The influence of (a); wherein R represents the radius of the groove structure a,
Figure BDA0003000161380000071
is the deformation angle at equilibrium, theta is expressed in the range 0 to @>
Figure BDA0003000161380000072
An angle within the range; referring to fig. 2, the arc length corresponding to angle θ is:
R dθ (1)
the area S of the deformation region is:
dS=2πR cosθ·R dθ (2)
total deformation area A total Comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0003000161380000073
transformation from theta to equilibrium transformation angle
Figure BDA0003000161380000074
The differential recovery elastic force f1 of the groove structure A is as follows:
Figure BDA0003000161380000075
wherein E is the effective Young's modulus of the groove structure A;
elastic force f formed on the deformation zone elastic Comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0003000161380000076
the total elastic force F of the active sensor elastic Comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0003000161380000077
from equations (3) and (6), the following relationships can be obtained:
Figure BDA0003000161380000081
from equation (7), as the applied force increases, the groove structure a is deformed more areas, and then generates a larger elastic force F elastic To balance the applied force; meanwhile, as the applied force is increased, the contact friction between the groove bottom and/or the side wall of the groove structure A and the second metal electrode layer 20 generates negative charges on one side of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 and positive charges on one side of the second metal electrode layer 20; the positive and negative triboelectric surface charge Q can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003000161380000082
wherein σ 0 Represents the surface charge density;
the groove structure a is in contact with and separated from the second metal electrode layer 20, and the potential difference VOC generated between the first metal electrode layer and the second metal electrode layer is:
Figure BDA0003000161380000083
/>
wherein epsilon 0 Is the dielectric constant of the vacuum, x is the separation distance between the two metal electrode layers, and S is the area of the active sensor.
As can be seen from the above equation (9): due to the elastic force F in the balanced state elastic Equal to the applied force F2, V oc The relationship with the application pressure F2 satisfies:
Figure BDA0003000161380000084
as shown by equation (10): applying pressures F2 and V oc There is a positive correlation therebetween, that is, as the external pressure increases, the measured open circuit voltage between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 increases.
In addition, fig. 8 is a graph of an experimental result of the magnitude of the open-circuit voltage and the pressure in the active pressure sensor according to the embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 8, since the magnitude of the pressure is related to the magnitude of the pressure and the cross-sectional area of the groove structure a, it can be understood that when the cross-sectional area of the groove structure a is constant, the open-circuit voltage between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 measured by the pressure sensor is also positively related to the magnitude of the pressure.

In the actual design of the pressure sensor, if the size of the aperture of the arch structure is too large, the arch structure cannot recover and deform when an external force is applied to the first metal electrode layer 10, so that the detection of the pressure sensor fails; if the aperture size of the arch structure is too small, an external force is applied to the first metal electrode layer 10, and the open-circuit voltage of the pressure sensor cannot be measured; preferably, the aperture d of the arch structure has a value range of: d is more than or equal to 0.3mm and less than or equal to 0.8mm, so that on one hand, the detection of different pressures can be met; on the other hand, the detection sensitivity of the pressure sensor can be regulated and controlled by selecting the arch structures with different aperture sizes. The sensitivity of a pressure sensor is here characterized by the value of the change in voltage per pressure.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 1-2, the value range of the young's modulus E of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 is: e is more than or equal to 0.01GPa and less than or equal to 0.1GPa.

By way of example, the material of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 may include, but is not limited to, one or a combination of polydimethylsiloxane, polycarbosilane, silicone rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride.

Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 1-2, the first metal electrode layer 10 comprises a copper foil or an aluminum foil; the value range of the thickness h1 of the first metal electrode layer 10 is: h1 is more than or equal to 10 mu m and less than or equal to 30 mu m; the second metal electrode layer 20 includes a copper foil or an aluminum foil; the thickness h2 of the second metal electrode layer 20 has a value range of: h2 is more than or equal to 10 mu m and less than or equal to 30 mu m. The first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20 both have appropriate thicknesses, so that the light and thin design of the flexible organic dielectric layer 30 is realized, and the wearable measurement of the active pressure sensor is facilitated.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1-6, the active pressure sensor further comprises a load R, a first connecting wire and a second connecting wire; one end of the load R is electrically connected to the first metal electrode layer 10 through a first connection wire, and the other end of the load R is electrically connected to the second metal electrode layer 20 through a second connection wire. Thus, during the reciprocating cycle of applying force to the first metal electrode layer 10-releasing force-applying force again, a certain current exists between the first metal electrode layer 10 and the second metal electrode layer 20, the current flows through the load R, and energy is released from the load R.
