Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a capacitor electrode structure and a device having the same, and more particularly, to a capacitor electrode.
Background
The soil humidity sensor is a sensor for detecting the water content of soil, and has great significance for soil moisture content monitoring, agricultural irrigation and forestry protection. The soil moisture sensor mainly uses an FDR (frequency Domain reflectometry) frequency Domain reflection principle to detect soil moisture, and specifically, the soil moisture sensor measures the apparent dielectric constant of soil according to the propagation frequency of electromagnetic waves in a medium by using an electromagnetic pulse principle, so as to obtain the relative water content of the soil.
At present, a soil humidity sensor mainly adopts a resistance type method and an inductance type method.
Resistive applications detect changes in resistivity of electrodes inserted into the soil, thus requiring the electrodes to contact the soil. The electrode material is easily corroded and has short service life.
The capacitance type adopts a method for detecting the dielectric constant inserted around the soil electrode, because the capacitance polar plate is replaced by the copper sheet of the PCB, the direct contact of the electrode is avoided, but because the capacitance polar plate still needs to be in contact with the soil, the service life is also influenced by the relation of the coating.
In addition, the capacitance electrodes of the sensors mainly adopted in the prior art are protected by paint.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a capacitor electrode structure, in which a plurality of protective layers are disposed to protect the capacitor electrode from corrosion, so as to prolong the service life of the capacitor electrode.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a capacitor electrode structure, which includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer, wherein an interlayer is disposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, the first electrode layer is sequentially provided with a first protective outer layer, a second protective outer layer and an electrode plate from outside to inside according to interlayer distribution, and the second electrode layer is sequentially provided with a third protective outer layer, a fourth protective outer layer and an electrode plate from outside to inside according to interlayer distribution.

In the soil humidity sensor, a sensing element is a humidity sensitive capacitor, and a metal oxide or a high molecular polymer is conventionally used. The materials have strong adsorption capacity to water molecules, the quantity of adsorbed water changes along with the change of the environmental humidity, and the capacitance value of a capacitance device changes due to the fact that the water molecules have large electric dipole moment and the permittivity of the materials changes after water absorption. The change of the capacitance value is converted into an electric signal, and then the humidity can be monitored.
