Definitions
- the invention relates to a sensor device.
- robot arms are equipped with sensors for perception of the environment.
- Pressure or tactile methods conventionally used in the sensors are based on mechanical or pneumatic switches, carbon fibers, conductive silicone rubber, conductive elastomers, piezo diodes or strain gauges.
- Technologies that have been increasingly developed and used in recent years are capacitive or resistive touch, surface acoustics wave touch, infrared touch and projective capacitive touch.
- the operation of collaborative robots at high speed using these technologies is only possible to a limited extent. Reliable approaching, gripping and manipulation of objects with the help of contactless and touch sensors is also not satisfactorily possible.
- the object is therefore to provide an improved sensor for perception of the environment and / or for reliable gripping and manipulation of objects by a robot arm.
- a sensor device comprising at least a first substrate; a capacitive sensor for detecting an approach of an object; a piezoelectric sensor for detecting a pressure or a change in pressure; wherein the capacitive sensor is arranged on a first side of the first substrate and the piezoelectric sensor is arranged on a second side of the first substrate, the second side being opposite the first side; or wherein the capacitive sensor and the piezoelectric sensor are arranged on the same side of the substrate.
- the arrangement of a piezoelectric sensor (P sensor) and a capacitive sensor (C sensor) either on the same side or on opposite sides of the same substrate combines the advantages of the two sensors and creates an integrated sensor device.
- P sensor piezoelectric sensor
- C sensor capacitive sensor
- the C sensor, the P sensor and the substrate can be designed as foils and can be flexible. In this way, for example, robot grippers can be equipped with the sensor over a large area, the sensor being adaptable to rounded carrier documents.
- the C sensor detects movements, in particular the approach of objects in an area before touching, by a change in the capacitance between two electrodes (differential measurement mode) or between an electrode and GND (single-ended measurement mode), or by the Combinations of the capacities between several electrodes and / or GND and spatial reconstruction of the material distribution (electrical capacitance tomography ECT).
- the P-Sensor detects forces by generating a surface charge (polarization) proportional to the pressure.
- the integrated sensor detects, e.g. on a robot, the approach by the C-sensor and the force of the touch using the P-sensor, thus improving the gripping of objects qualitatively.
- the approach information can be used, for example, to selectively align a robot arm in a better gripping position.
- the force measurement by means of the P sensor is used to reliably grip an object (i.e. a robot grips an object with sufficient force not to drop it and at the same time not too firmly to avoid damaging it).
- the C sensor is always oriented towards the object to be gripped.
- the P sensor is covered by the C sensor.
- C-sensor and P-sensor on one substrate, i.e. on a single film, increases the flexibility of the integrated sensor device.
- piezoelectric force measurement compared to other methods such as capacitive force measurement is that no elastic materials are required for the sensor structure.
- Such elastic materials for example “foamed plastics” show poor dynamic behavior, hysteresis effects and aging effects (non-reversible deformations, hardening) and therefore have a short lifespan
- Proximity sensors eg "touch screens” are on the other hand not able to determine the acting force, but determine the surface touched. In addition, they cannot be used for many materials (e.g. insulating plastics). Purely piezoelectric sensors, however, cannot register any approach processes. The combination of both sensor principles is able to quantify both approach and touch.
- the sensor device comprises a second substrate, the capacitive sensor being arranged on the first substrate and the piezoelectric sensor being arranged on the second substrate and the second substrate being laminated to the first substrate.
- the P sensor and C sensor are thus arranged on different substrates (backplane / front plane concept). This reduces the risk with regard to the yield, because initially two components can be manufactured and evaluated independently of one another. This allows the selection of high-performance C-sensors and P-sensors in the manufacturing process and reduces rejects in the end product.
- the first substrate is connected to the second substrate by lamination.
- the lamination connects the C-sensor and P-sensor to one another in a simple and inexpensive way to form the integrated sensor.
- a base area of the capacitive sensor essentially corresponds to a base area of the piezoelectric sensor, and / or the capacitive sensor and the piezoelectric sensor form a sensor stack.
- the sensors are either on the same first substrate, or on the first or the second
- the substrate is arranged one above the other and forms a sensor stack that comprises several layers. Because the base areas of the C sensor and the P sensor match, a force can also be detected in each proximity area (the area at which a detected object comes into contact with the sensor device after the proximity). In other words, none of the sensors has a "blind spot" with respect to the other sensor.
- a double-sided adhesive film of approx. 30 pm thickness which is used in the medical field, can be used, which can be applied bubble-free by suitable carrier films and a noticeable but not too large plasticity and does not significantly influence the mechanical properties of the integrated sensor device.
- the lamination can be carried out with a C-sensor attached to a stiffer auxiliary film, which is completely covered by the double-sided adhesive film. The P sensor can then be unrolled and precisely aligned.
- the sensor device comprises a shield between the capacitive sensor and the piezoelectric sensor.
- the C-sensor is shielded from the P-sensor by the shielding. Shielding the C sensor from the P sensor requires a shield electrode between a bottom electrode of the C sensor and a bottom electrode layer of the P sensor.
- the buffer layer is therefore designed as a shielding electrode and is electrically connected to ground.
- the shielding is arranged on a side of the first substrate facing away from the capacitive sensor. In this arrangement, the screen can be screen printed directly onto the back of the first substrate.
- the shielding is not part of the P sensor, but can be integrated into the back of the first substrate by printing silver paste, for example (this has a high surface conductivity). This simplifies production overall.
- the capacitive sensor comprises an electrode layer and a bottom electrode, the electrode layer and the bottom electrode being insulated from one another by the first substrate or by a first dielectric insulation layer.
- the first substrate takes over the function of the first dielectric insulation layer between the electrode layer and the bottom electrode of the C sensor. The first dielectric insulation layer can thereby be saved.
- the electrode layer must be insulated from the bottom electrode by the first dielectric insulation layer in order to ensure the function of the C sensor.
- the piezoelectric sensor comprises a bottom electrode layer, which is preferably formed from PEDOT: PSS, a ferroelectric co-polymer layer (5b) and a top
- Electrode layer The P sensor can be screen printed are produced, a layer stack being produced by repeated printing processes.
- the layer stack that forms the P sensor comprises the bottom electrode layer. This can be formed from approximately 1 pm thick PEDOT: PSS and is deposited on the first or the second substrate. Then, for example, an approx. 5 pm thick, pressure-sensitive ferroelectric co-polymer layer made of PVDF: TrFE (70:30) and another 1 pm thick top electrode layer made of PEDOT: PSS are formed in the form of a segmented 4x2 array. After printing, the ferroelectric crystallites (PVDF) in the co-polymer (PVDFrTrFE) have no preferred direction. The poling process aligns them in fields of approx.
- the polarization process also allows conclusions to be drawn about function and sensitivity, and therefore provides data on the yield and the spread of sensitivity.
- the poling process therefore acts as a process control in the manufacture of the P sensors.
- the 4x2 array is designed to recognize the contact point when gripping.
- the 4x2 array provides an 8 pixel resolution of the contact point.
- the segmentation (both number and form) can be changed for the respective application. The same applies to the shape of the capacitive sensor electrodes.
- the sensor device comprises a lacquer layer for protecting a surface of the sensor device, the lacquer layer being formed on the electrode layer of the capacitive sensor.
- the lacquer layer protects the sensor device from the effects of touching when gripping and / or handling objects.
- the Sensor device a second dielectric insulation layer between the shield and the piezoelectric sensor.
- the second dielectric insulation layer insulates the bottom electrode layer of the P sensor from the shield, which is a conductive layer and is at ambient potential.
- the second PET substrate takes over the function of the second dielectric insulation layer.
- a method for producing an integrated piezoelectric and capacitive sensor comprising providing a first substrate, arranging, a capacitive sensor on a first side of the first substrate, arranging, a piezoelectric sensor, on a second side of the first substrate, the first side of the substrate being opposite the second side.
- the method offers an industrially scalable approach for producing large-area sensors according to the invention in the form of foils.
- the method comprises providing a second substrate.
- the arrangement further comprises depositing the capacitive sensor on the first substrate, depositing the piezoelectric sensor on the second substrate and laminating the first substrate onto the second substrate.
- Both the P sensor and the C sensor are either deposited together on the first substrate or individually on a first and a second substrate.
- the deposition is carried out in layers using industrially scalable printing processes, so that a multilayer film is formed that forms the sensor. As a result, the sensor can be manufactured economically on an industrial scale.
- the lamination is carried out by means of a double-sided adhesive film, the film having a thickness of approximately 30 ⁇ m.
- the lamination offers the advantage of the simpler process constellation.
- the mechanical properties of the sensor film are not significantly influenced by the thin thickness of the film.
- two part sensors (P / C), each with a corresponding yield, can be connected to each other. This reduces the end product waste.
- the deposition of the capacitive sensor comprises the deposition of an electrode layer and a bottom electrode, and is carried out by inkjet printing. Furthermore, the deposition of the piezoelectric sensor comprises the deposition of a bottom electrode layer, a ferroelectric co-polymer layer and a top electrode layer and is carried out by screen printing.
- the method comprises aligning the capacitive sensor with respect to the piezoelectric sensor by aligning the first substrate with respect to the second substrate and / or depositing a shield between the capacitive sensor and the piezoelectric sensor.
- the C-sensor e.g. based on ECT
- P-sensor e.g. based on PyzoFlex®
- the two sensors are geometrically integrated in a multilayer film in relation to each other.
- the geometric integration takes place by aligning geometric features of the C sensor with respect to geometric features of the P sensor.
- the P sensor is applied to a second substrate and the C sensor is applied to a first
- the two substrates are aligned with one another during the lamination.
- the lamination can be carried out with a C-sensor attached to a stiffer auxiliary film, which is completely covered by the laminate.
- the P sensor can then be unrolled and aligned very precisely.
- the shield is arranged on a side of the second substrate facing the capacitive sensor, or the shield is formed on a side of the first substrate facing the piezoelectric sensor.
- the shielding serves as an electrode at ambient potential for the decoupling of the electronic processes in the C-sensor and P-sensor. For this reason, the shielding is always arranged between the bottom electrode of the C sensor (ActiveGuard) and the bottom electrode layer of the P sensor.
- the bottom electrode of the C sensor (AktiveGuard) receives the same signal as the electrode layer. This eliminates parasitic capacitance for shielding and reduces interference from the environment. Instead of the bottom electrode, a further ground electrode can also be provided. This is an advantage for differential measurements.
- the buffer layer must be insulated from the bottom electrode and the bottom electrode layer. Insulation layers must therefore be provided on each side of the shield. Depending on the embodiment, one of the insulation layers can be formed by the first or the second substrate.
- the method comprises depositing a first dielectric insulation layer between the bottom electrode and the electrode layer of the capacitive sensor, and / or depositing a second dielectric insulation layer between the shield and the piezoelectric sensor.
- the first dielectric insulation layer is part of the C sensor and, in embodiments with only one substrate, insulates the electrode layer thereof from the bottom electrode.
- the second dielectric insulation layer insulates the bottom electrode layer of the P sensor from the shield.
- the substrates take over the function of the first and second dielectric insulation layers.
- a manipulator device with at least one manipulator finger comprising at least one sensor device according to the invention.
- the invention combines the possibility of determining the location of approaching objects and the possibility of determining tactile information when touched by the fact that both a proximity sensor (C sensor) and a touch sensor (P sensor) are arranged on a film and interact with one another.
- the film can be applied over a large area to the surfaces of robots / machines.
- the structure of the capacitive C sensor as a film makes it possible for the force acting on the underlying piezoelectric or (piezoelectric and pyroelectric) P sensor to be passed on without significantly adversely affecting it.
- a sensor device is used to determine an approach of an object to a manipulator device in a collaborative environment. Furthermore, this aspect encompasses the general use of a sensor device according to the invention for determining a Approach.
- a signal output by the sensor device can be broken down into an approach signal and a touch signal. The approach of an object to the sensor device and the contact of the sensor device by the object can thus be detected separately from one another.
- An approach within the meaning of the present application does not include the touching of the sensor device or a sensor surface by the approaching object.
- a sensor device is used for the tactile detection of a holding force during a gripping process of a manipulator device.

- the device for touch detection 19 is connected to the sensor stack 2 by means of an electrical connection.
- An approximation signal can be a three-dimensional reconstruction of the surrounding space (x, y, z).
- an approximation signal can also be interpreted as a sectional image, ie as a two-dimensional reconstruction (x, z or y, z) of the surrounding space.
- Pure distance information (z) can also be output.
- a limit can be set for the distance.
- a detection signal can be output below the limit value, or an output of the proximity signal can be limited to cases in which the distance limit value is undershot. This ensures that undesirable detections are reduced.
