Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer electromechanical transducer, a elektromechanis Chen transducer, a component comprising the electromechanical transducer, a use of the electromechanical transducer and a device for producing the electromechanical transducer.
- Electromechanical converters convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They can be used as part of sensors, actuators and / or generators.
- EAP electroactive polymers
- the basic structure of such a transducer consists of electroactive polymers (EAP).
- the Au fbauprin / ip and the mode of action are similar to those of an electrical capacitor. Between two conductive plates, ie electrodes, to which a voltage is applied, there is a dielectric.
- EAPs are a ductile dielectric that deforms depending on the electric field.
- dielectric elastomers are mostly in the form of films (DEAP, dielectric electroactive polymer), which have a high electrical resistance and are coated on both sides with extensible electrodes with high conductivity (electrode), as described, for example, in WO 01/006575 A.
- This basic structure can be used in a wide variety of configurations for the production of sensors, actuators or generators.
- multilayer electromechanical transducers are also known.
- Electroactive polymers as elastic dielectric in such transducer systems are different depending on
- the common electrical properties are a high internal electrical resistance of the dielectric, a high dielectric strength, a high electrical conductivity of the electrode and a high dielectric constant in the frequency range of the application. These properties allow to permanently store a large amount of electrical energy in the volume filled with the electroactive polymer.
- the maximum possible electrical voltage is in turn dependent on the breakdown field strength.
- a low breakdown field strength means that only low voltages can be applied. Since the value of the strain quadratically enters into the equation for calculating the strain caused by the electrostatic attraction of the electrodes, the breakdown field strength is preferably correspondingly high.
- KORN BLÜH. JP JOSEPH and S. CHIBA Electro Mechanical Systems, 1997. MEMS '97, Proceedings, IEEE., Ten Iii Annual International Workshop on (1997), pp. 238-243.].
- These layers are electrically connected in parallel, ie over each layer, despite a low operating voltage U, a relatively high field strength E is applied.
- the actuator layers are mechanically connected in series, the individual deformations add up.
- the electrode layers have a specific structure, which can be achieved by a spray mask, the inkjet pressure and / or a screen in the case of screen printing.
- Danfoss Polypower uses chamfered EAP material to build a coreless rolled actuator [Tryson, M., Kiil, H.-E., Benslimane, M .: Powerful tubular core free dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP) 'PUSH' actuator; Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAP AD), Proc. of SPIE Vol. 7287, 2009.]; at EMPA [Zhang, R .. Lochmatter, P., Kunz, A., Kovacs, G .: Spring Roll Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for a Portable Force Feedback Glove; Smart Structures and Materials, Proc. of SPIE Vol. 6168, 2006.] the EAP material was preloaded using an integrated coil spring. A disadvantage of the latter Pri n zip is the high susceptibility to mechanical defects in the EAP material. The actuator effect in the coreless actuator is due only to the stiff in the circumferential direction electrode.
- a major challenge in the production of a stack actuator or multilayer electromechanical converter is the absence of defects and contaminants in all processes
- CARPI u. a. identified the cutting of a tube as a solution to this problem.
- the dielectric is in the form of a silicone tube. This tube is cut in a spiral, then the cut surfaces are covered with conductive material, which serve as electrodes [F. CARPI, A. MIGLIORE, G. SERRA and D. DE ROSSI "Helical dielectric elastomer actuator", in: Smart Materials and Structures 14.6 (2005), pp. 1210-1216].
- CHUC II. a presented an automated procedure based on CARPI folding in prin / ip [NH CHUC, JK PARK, DV THUY, ISIS KIM, JC KOO et al., "Multi-stacked artificial muscle actuator based on synthetic elastomer.” In: Proceedings of the 2007 IEEE / RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems San Diego, CA. USA, Oct. 29 - Nov. 2, 2007 (2007), p. 771.]. However, the dielectric films are each folded only once. The pile actuators from CARPI Ii. a. and CHUC and others are not designed to absorb tensile forces.
- Multilayer actuators or multilayer converters can be operated under stretching, tension and bending. It is also known that actuators can be additionally equipped with a return spring.
- the prior art transducers have three major drawbacks due to insufficiently matched elastomer, inadequate near-industrial manufacturing technology, and inadequate long-term stability.
- a disadvantage of all the mentioned method is that the layers (electrode and elastomer layers) adhere only weakly and in the
- a disadvantage of the prior art is also that in the cases described, the structured electrode must be applied in an additional step between the layers of the stack or must be applied directly to a large area. In the first case, an additional process step is necessary, which prevents an accurate stacking. In the latter case, the electrode area is so large that extremely high conductivity is required. Although this is technically possible, such electrodes very quickly lose their conductivity after a few load cycles under elongation, tension or bending.
- a further disadvantage of the methods mentioned is that the non-polyurethane-based solutions form a very weak, non-adhesive layer composite. The layers are not monolithic. Thus, the layers are often disassembled after less than 100 occupancy cycles, i.
- a disadvantage of the prior art is that the substantially inexpensive and faster roll-to-roll production of a polyurethane film, as described in unpublished patent application EP 12173770.4, is not accessible.
- Another disadvantage is that it is a chemical process in which the respective layers are not reacted up to 100% conversion. The adhesion is achieved by incomplete reaction of the layers, so that in the entire steps, an extraction of the volatile, toxic isocyanates is required. The task was therefore to develop a process in which the chemical process of production of the Dielectric and, if necessary, the electrode layer, are separated from the mechanical stacking steps.
- pre-hiding the elastomer layers which leads to a significantly increased actuator effect (i.e., elongation), has heretofore been realized exclusively by the IPN technique.
- the disadvantage is that this again involves a time-consuming chemical process which must be avoided.
- the object of the present invention is to ensure that a pre-hiding of the film is possible.
- fiducial marks which are preferably incorporated into a rigid structure (compare multilevel color printing processes), are intended to bridge the interface between chemical and chemical processes mechanical production are designed so that an exact positioning and stacking of the elastomeric films is guaranteed. If the electrode is applied only during the mechanical stacking process, either optical registration marks must be applied, or the process steps electrode coating and stacking in "one clamping" must be carried out.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a elektromechanis chen converter available, which at least partially reduces the aforementioned disadvantages and in particular enables improved production with lower production times and a low error rate.
- the previously derived and indicated object is achieved according to a first aspect of the invention in a method according to claim 1.

- Folding device comprises a first plate and at least one second plate

- polyurethane elastomers are used.
- the provided elastomeric film has at least a first part and a further or second part.
- the elastomeric film can be divided into substantially two equal parts, in an application step, at least one electrode layer is applied at least to the first part, in particular to at least one upper side of the first part. Also, a two-sided application can take place.
- the electrode layer that is to say an electrically conductive layer, can preferably be formed from a material which is selected from the group comprising metals, metal alloys, conductive oligo- or polymers, conductive oxides, conductive fillers and / or filled with conductive fillers polymers.
- Particularly suitable materials are carbon-based materials or materials based on metals, such as silver, copper, aluminum, gold, nickel, zinc or other conductive metals, and materials.
- the M etall may preferably be applied as a salt, solution, dispersion, emulsion or as a precursor. The adhesion can be adjusted so that the layers in each case still adhere to each other.
- the elastomer foil can be arranged on a receiving surface of a folding device.
- the folding device is formed plates shaped.
- the folding device has at least two plates.
- the first plate may be movably connected to the second plate.
- the first plate and the second plate may in particular be connected via a hinge device.
- the two plates are movably connected to one another via at least one hinge device.
- the two plates can be connected in such a way that in an initial position the two plates form a (planar) plane and in an end position the first plate rests on the second plate (or vice versa).
- the first plate has a first part receiving surface and the second plate has a second part receiving surface. If only two plates are present, the first part receiving surface and the second part receiving surface form the receiving surface of the folding device.

- the receiving surface for example a porous plastic (for example based on Teflon), can be set up to generate a negative pressure, for example a vacuum, in order to fix an elastomer foil arranged on the receiving surface on the folding device.
- recesses may be provided in the receiving surface, in which a negative pressure can be generated.
