Description
本申请要求于2021年12月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为202111679373.2、申请名称为“一种基于摩擦纳米发电的压力传感器”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及传感器领域,尤其涉及一种基于摩擦纳米发电的压力传感器。
近年来,人们对健康监测的需求促进了可穿戴设备的快速发展。对于可穿戴设备,实现准确监测的核心在于传感器的设计,利用传感器准确获取个体的生理信号是能否实现疾病准确预测以给个人健康管理提供有价值的参考信息的基础。目前,国内外在不同机制柔性传感器上的研究上取得了显著进展,主要包括压电式传感器、压容式传感器、压阻式传感器,以及基于静电感应和电荷转移原理的摩擦起电式传感器。上述几种柔性压力传感器,其工作原理均是将施加在传感器上的外部压力信号转化为电信号输出,以此来反馈外部压力的大小和分布情况。
现在的有采用基于电阻式、电容式、压电式和摩擦纳米发电(triboelectric nanogenerator,TENG)原理的压力传感器。其中,基于TENG的压力传感器与其他几种类型的压力传感器相比,具备可选材料广泛、动态响应好、响应时间快、所测生理信号细节丰富等优点而受到广泛关注。基于TENG的压力传感器利用的是摩擦起电原理以及静电感应原理,其中,摩擦起电原理是不同得失电子能力的材料相互接触时,由于材料对电子的束缚能力不同,会发生电子的转移,在两种材料上带上等量相反的净电荷。静电感应原理是带电荷的物体(即带电物体)靠近导电物体时,导电物体靠近带电物体侧感应出与带电物体相反的电荷。基于TENG的压力传感器是这两种原理的结合,如图1所示,基于TENG的压力传感器一般包括两种组成:两个电极层和两个摩擦层,两个摩擦层放在中间,两个电极层放在两侧。当两种不同材料的摩擦层在外力作用下互相靠近接触时,会因为摩擦起电原理,在两个摩擦层感应出等量相反的净电荷。在外力作用下两个摩擦层的接触表面发生分离时,两种净电荷的分离而产生的电势差会驱动电子在分别附着与两种摩擦层材料的上下表面的电极之间流动,从而产生电流输出。最后再通过对外部的电流和电压测量进行所施加压力的换算。
在上述所述的基于TENG的压力传感器中,为了增加摩擦时的表面积,提高电荷转移的电荷量,以最终达到提高电压或电流的输出的目的,一般会在其中一个摩擦层的表面进行修饰,如图2所示,图2为对一个摩擦层的表面进行扫描电子显微镜(scanning electron microscope,SEM)测试得到的测试结果图,这些修饰的微纳米结构高度一致(即图2中凸起的六边形结构),且整体都不高,即整体比较平坦,因此会存在两个问题:1、对大静态力灵敏度不够,因为外界施加的压力大了两侧的摩擦层就完全接触到一起;2、在保证灵敏度的前提下,能测量的压力范围小,即在大静态力下灵敏度高的话,在小静态力下灵敏度就低,反之,在小静态力下灵敏度高的话,在大静态力下灵敏度就低。

在本申请上述实施方式中,通过在每个微纳米的柱状结构上蚀刻出毛刺结构来增大功能层与外界的接触面积,进而使得功能层上感应出的第一信号的强度增加,提高了该压力传感器的检测灵敏度。

(1)压力传感器
压力传感器是能感受压力信号,并能按照一定的规律将压力信号转换成可用的输出的电信号的器件或装置。压力传感器是工业实践中最为常用的一种传感器,其广泛应用于各种工业自控环境,涉及水利水电、铁路交通、智能建筑、生产自控、航空航天、军工、石化、油井、电力、船舶、机床、管道等众多行业。
在实际应用中,比较典型的几种压力传感器包括电阻式压力传感器、电容式压力传感 器、压电式压力传感器、基于TENG的压力传感器。
其中,电阻式压力传感器在外部施加压力时,两极板间的接触面积在压力作用下发生的变化会导致电阻发生变化,通过对电阻值与压力值之间的标定,可以通过外部电路的阻值反推出压力值;类似地,电容式压力传感器在外部施加压力时,两极板间的板间距在压力作用下发生的变化会导致电容发生变化,通过对电容值与压力值之间的标定,可以反推出压力值;压电式压力传感器在外部施加压力时,两极板在外力作用下产生的形变会导致电荷发生变化,通过对电压值与压力值之间的标定,可以通过外部电路的电压反推出压力值;基于TENG的压力传感器在外部压力的作用下,压力导致摩擦层距离变化,以及因为摩擦产生的电荷变化导致外部的电压的变化,摩擦层的材料一般选择得失电子能力差异较大的材料,所以外力会导致电极两侧的电压的极大变化。
上述四种典型的压力传感器的特点可总结如表1所示,其中,基于TENG的压力传感器与其他几种类型的压力传感器相比,具备可选材料广泛、动态响应好、响应时间快、所测生理信号细节丰富等优点而受到广泛关注。
表1、四种原理的压力传感器特点归纳
类型 | 特点 |
压阻式压力传感器 | 可测量动态、静态压力信号,但滞后现象较为严重 |
电容式压力传感器 | 测量精度高,动态响应特性好,但易受外界环境干扰(寄生电容) |
压电式压力传感器 | 结构简单,灵敏度高,但材料需定制 |
基于TENG的压力传感器 | 可选材料广泛,动态响应好,响应时间快,所测生理信号细节丰富 |
下面结合附图,对本申请的实施例进行描述。本领域普通技术人员可知,随着技术的发展和新场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
下面从不同类型的压力传感器的角度分别对本申请实施例的技术方案进行介绍:
一、基于TENG的压力传感器
首先,对本申请实施例提供的基于TENG的压力传感器进行介绍,具体请参阅图3,图3为本申请实施例提供的基于TENG的压力传感器的一个结构示意图,该基于TENG的压力传感器包括两个摩擦层(分别为第一摩擦层301以及第二摩擦层302)和一个电极层(可称为第一电极层303),其中,第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302由得失电子能力不同的材料制成,例如,摩擦层的材料可以选择PTFE、PET、PE、PDMS、FEP等材料,需注意的是,第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302选择的材料需不同。第一电极层301由具有导电能力的材料制成,例如,可以采用金属材料(金、银、铜等)、导电材料(石墨烯、银纳米线、ITO等)等具有导电能力的材料。第一摩擦层301与第一电极层303相连。具体地,在第一摩擦层301以及第二摩擦层302中的至少一个摩擦层的表面生长有多级微纳米结构(图3示意的是在第一摩擦层301的表面包括多级微纳米结构,实际在第二摩擦层302的表面也可以生成多级微纳米结构,此处不予赘述),用于在有压力的情况下,在第一摩擦层301及第二摩擦层302上感应出与所施加压力对应的等量相反的净电荷,同时也可以提供支撑作用;而第一电极层303则用于基于两个摩擦层上感应出的等量相反的净电荷产生电流。最后,经过电流与所施加压力的换算(在一些实施方式中,也可以是计算电压的变化), 反推出所施加的压力值。
这里需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,第一电极层303也可以是具有导电作用的电极线,本申请对此不做限定。还需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,当只有第一电极层303时,该第一电极层303是接地的。还需要注意的是,在本申请的一些应用场景中,摩擦层也可以作为导电作用的电极层使用,本申请对此不做限定。
需要说明的是,在本申请的另一些实施方式中,该基于TENG的压力传感器还可以包括第二电极层,具体请参阅图4,图4为本申请实施例提供的基于TENG的压力传感器的另一个结构示意图,该基于TENG的压力传感器包括两个摩擦层(分别为第一摩擦层301以及第二摩擦层302)和两个电极层(分别为第一电极层303以及第二电极层304),其中,第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302由得失电子能力不同的材料制成,例如,摩擦层的材料可以选择PTFE、PET、PE、PDMS、FEP等材料,需注意的是,第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302选择的材料需不同。第一电极层301与第二电极层302由具有导电能力的材料制成,例如,可以采用金属材料(金、银、铜等)、导电材料(石墨烯、银纳米线、ITO等)等具有导电能力的材料。第一摩擦层301与第一电极层303相连,第二摩擦层302与第二电极层304相连。
具体地,在第一摩擦层301以及第二摩擦层302中的至少一个摩擦层的表面生长有多级微纳米结构(图3示意的是在第一摩擦层301的表面包括多级微纳米结构,实际在第二摩擦层302的表面也可以生成多级微纳米结构,此处不予赘述),用于在有压力的情况下,在第一摩擦层301及第二摩擦层302上感应出与所施加压力对应的等量相反的净电荷,同时也可以提供支撑作用;而第一电极层303以及第二电极层304,则用于基于两个摩擦层上感应出的等量相反的净电荷产生电流。最后,经过电流与所施加压力的换算,反推出所施加的压力值。为便于阐述,在以下实施例中,基于TENG的压力传感器均以包括两个电极层为例进行示意。
需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,多级微纳米结构包括至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构,图4示意的是两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构周期性排列,在实际应用中,多级微纳米结构可以是n种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构,n≥2。
作为一种示例,图4示意的是n=2时,不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构周期性排列;作为另一示例,图5示意的是n=4时,不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构周期性排列。一般来说,n的取值越大,意味着多级微纳米结构的级数越多,在第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302之间形成的不同高度就越多样,那么在外力作用下,由于高度各不相同,导致不同地方产生的净电荷也不同,间接提高了压力传感器的灵敏度。
需要说明的是,在图4以及图5对应的实施例中,不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构都是周期性排列的,在本申请的另一些实施方式中,除了周期性排列,也可以是不规则的乱序排列,具体本申请对此不做限定。
还需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,所施加的压力可以施加在第一电极层303上,也可以施加在第二电极层304上,也可以同时施加在第一电极层303以及第二电极层304上(图4示意的是施加在两个电极层上),具体由该基于TENG的压力传感器的实际应用场 景决定,本申请对此不做限定。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,该微纳米的柱状结构可以看作是一级微纳米结构,为了增大第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302之间的摩擦面积,还可以在该微纳米的柱状结构上进行微纳米加工,具体地,该微纳米的柱状结构上可以利用蚀刻工艺蚀刻出微纳米级的毛刺结构(如图4或图5所示),也可以称为二级微纳米结构,该毛刺结构可用于在所施加压力的作用下,增大第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302的摩擦面积,进而使得两个摩擦层上感应出的净电荷的电荷量增加,提高了该压力传感器的检测灵敏度。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,该微纳米的柱状结构的形状可以是任意可加工的具有一定高度的形状,例如,可以是圆柱形、多棱柱形、圆锥形、多棱锥形、半球形、倒金字塔形、金字塔形中的任意一种或多种,在图4和图5所示的实施例中,示意的微纳米的柱状结构的形状为立方体形(属于多棱柱形的一种),在图6中,示意的微纳米的柱状结构的形状则为半圆形(假设n=2,即包括两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构周期性排列);而在图7中,示意的微纳米的柱状结构的形状则包括半圆形和立方体形两种的混合(假设n=2,即包括两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构周期性排列),具体本申请不再举例进行示意。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的另一些实施方式中,一个微纳米的柱状结构可以由一种材料制成,具体地,属于同一种高度的微纳米的柱状结构可以由一种材料制成,属于另一种高度的微纳米的柱状结构则由另一种材料制成,不同的材料杨氏模量不同。作为一种示例,可参阅图8,图8中的(a)子示意图示意的是每个微纳米的柱状结构均是由同一种材料A制成;而图8中的(b)子示意图示意的是属于同一高度的微纳米的柱状结构是一种材料(即材料A)制成,属于另一个高度的微纳米的柱状结构则由另一种材料(即材料B)制成,总之,每个单独的一个微纳米的柱状结构是由一种材料制成。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的另一些实施方式中,一个微纳米的柱状结构也可以由至少两种不同杨氏模量的材料制成。具体地,在本申请的一种具体实现方式中,微纳米的柱状结构可以由至少两个微纳米的子柱状结构堆叠得到,一个子柱状结构对应一种杨氏模量的材料。
需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,该至少两个微纳米的子柱状结构包括但不限于:
1)至少两个微纳米的子柱状结构的横截面面积相同,作为一个示例,假设共有4个子柱状结构,分别为A、B、C、D,从压力传感器的俯视图来看,这4个子柱状结构的横截面面积是一样的,均为S0;作为一种示例,具体可参阅图9,此处不予赘述。这里需要注意的是,这4个子柱状结构的高度可以相同,也可以不相同,图9示意的是不相同的情况,具体此处不予赘述。
2)至少两个微纳米的子柱状结构的横截面面积的取值不同,在这种情况下,则按照横截面面积的取值从大到小的顺序依次堆叠,作为一种示例,假设共有4个子柱状结构,分别为A、B、C、D,横截面长度的取值分别为S1、S2、S3、S4,且S1<S2<S3<S4,那么在该至少一个摩擦层上的堆叠方式为:D位于该至少一个摩擦层表面,C堆叠在D上, B堆叠在C上,A堆叠在B上。具体地,堆叠的方式可以如图10中子柱状结构的一边对齐的方式进行堆叠(即形成台阶状),也可以如图11中子柱状结构两边都不对齐的方式进行堆叠,具体本申请对此不做限定。同样需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,这4个子柱状结构的高度可以相同,也可以不相同,图10以及图11示意的是相同的情况,具体此处不予赘述。还需要注意的是,图10以及图11示意的微纳米的柱状结构的高度是相同的,在本申请的一些实施方式中,由多种不同杨氏模量的材料的子柱状结构堆叠成的微纳米的柱状结构的高度也可以不同,即多个微纳米的柱状结构至少存在两种不同高度,如图12所示,台阶状的微纳米的微纳米柱状结构包括2种高度。实际可以有更多种高度,此处不予赘述。
此外,由于在实际应用中,在外界施加的压力比较大的时候,第一摩擦层301与的第二摩擦层302可能会存在完全贴合在一起的情形,这样的话会导致压力传感器的失效,降低压力传感器的灵敏度以及缩小其压力测量的范围。为降低这种情况发生的概率,在本申请的另一些实施例中,所述第一摩擦层301与所述第二摩擦层302中的至少一个摩擦层上还可以生长一些预设高度的目标微纳米结构,该预设高度可称为第一预设高度h1,用于在外界施加的压力下提供支撑作用,以避免第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302在所述压力作用下直接贴合,需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,第一预设高度h1大于至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构中任意一个的高度。
为便于理解,下面举例进行示意,具体请参阅图13,图13为本申请实施例提供的具有第一预设高度的目标微纳米结构的基于TENG的压力传感器的一个结构示意图,由图13可以看出,在目标微纳米结构的支撑作用下,外界所施加的压力不容易使得两个摩擦层完全贴合在一起,从而扩展了该基于TENG的压力传感器的压力测量区间,提高了灵敏度。
在上述图3至图13对应的实施例的基础上,下面对上述基于TENG的压力传感器的两个摩擦层的加工过程进行说明,具体请参阅图14,图14为本申请实施例提供的摩擦层的加工过程的一个示意图,其中,第一摩擦层301为摩擦层1,第二摩擦层302为摩擦层2,该加工过程包括如下几个步骤:
1、摩擦层处理
对于多级结构设计的加工过程,可以对单个摩擦层或多个摩擦层进行预处理以及光刻处理,得到多个高度不同的微纳米的柱状结构,即所述的多级微纳米结构,也可称为一级微纳米结构,可以是圆形,也可以是多边形,具体本申请对此不做限定。之后,再利用蚀刻工艺蚀刻出二级微纳米结构,即形成毛刺结构,用于提高该基于TENG的压力传感器的提高灵敏度。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,所述的多级微纳米结构可采用纳米压印、模具脱模等方式形成多个高度不同的一级微纳米的柱状结构。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,若所述的多级微纳米结构是采用堆叠的方式形成不同高度或相同高度的微纳米结构(如图9-图12所示),那么加工方式则可以是将多个杨氏模量不同的材料堆叠,并用不同大小、形状的掩模板进行光刻,从而形成多台阶的一级微纳米结构,然后进行二级微纳米加工,得到毛刺结构。
2、电极处理及引线
在本申请实施例中,可以采用镀膜、贴合、旋涂等方式将电极处理在摩擦层的外侧表面,并将导线引出。
3、封装处理
将加工完成的膜材进行堆叠,即在摩擦层上附上电极层,采用涂胶、压合等方式进行封装处理。
此外,需要注意的是,在本申请上述实施方式中,在第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302中的至少一个摩擦层上生长一些第一预设高度h1的目标微纳米结构用于在外界施加的压力下提供支撑作用的方式加工方式比较复杂,因此,为减少工艺复杂度,在本申请的另一些实施方式中,也可以采用添加隔离层的方案,具体请参阅图15,图15为本申请实施例提供的基于TENG的压力传感器的另一结构示意图,在图15中,该基于TENG的压力传感器除了包括以上所述的第一摩擦层301、第二摩擦层302、第一电极层303以及第二电极层304之外,在第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302之间还额外包括一个预设高度的隔离层305,该预设高度可称为第二预设高度h2,第二预设高度h2大于所述至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构中任意一个的高度。该隔离层305具有预设孔径的至少一个孔洞(图15中未示出),用于在外界施加压力下提供支撑作用,以避免第一摩擦层301与第二摩擦层302在所述压力作用下直接贴合。在这种情况下,多级微纳米结构就生长于隔离层305的孔洞内,如图16所示,图16为本申请实施例提供的多级微纳米结构生长于隔离层305中的孔洞中的一个示意图。
这里需要注意的是,隔离层305也可设计为不同高度的子隔离层的拼接,例如,隔离层305可以由m个子隔离层构成,每个子隔离层的高度可以设置的不一样,即第二预设高度h2可以是一种高度值,也可以是多种高度值,具体本申请对此不做限定。
需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述隔离层305上的至少一个孔洞的形状可以是任意可加工的形状,例如,可以是圆形(如图17中的(a)子示意图所示),也可以是椭圆形,还可以是多边形,进一步地,可以是规则多边形,如,等边三角形、正方形(如图17中的(b)子示意图所示)、六边形等,也可以是非规则多边形,如,梯形、不等边三角形等,具体本申请对隔离层305的孔洞形状不做限定。此外,不仅孔洞的形状可基于需求自行设定,孔洞的开孔面积也可以自行设定,本申请对此不做限定。
类似地,在上述图15至图17对应的实施例的基础上,下面对上述基于TENG的压力传感器的两个摩擦层以及隔离层的加工过程进行说明,具体请参阅图18,图18为本申请实施例提供的摩擦层以及隔离层的加工过程的一个示意图,其中,第一摩擦层301为摩擦层1,第二摩擦层302为摩擦层2,该加工过程包括如下几个步骤:
1、摩擦层处理
对于多级结构设计的加工过程,可以对单个摩擦层或多个摩擦层进行预处理以及光刻处理,得到多个高度不同的微纳米的柱状结构,即所述的多级微纳米结构,也可称为一级微纳米结构,可以是圆形,也可以是多边形,具体本申请对此不做限定。之后,再利用蚀刻工艺蚀刻出二级微纳米结构,即形成毛刺结构,用于提高该基于TENG的压力传感器的 提高灵敏度。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,所述的多级微纳米结构可采用纳米压印、模具脱模等方式形成多个高度不同的一级微纳米的柱状结构。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,若所述的多级微纳米结构是采用堆叠的方式形成不同高度或相同高度的微纳米结构(如8-图12所示),那么加工方式则可以是将多个杨氏模量不同的材料堆叠,并用不同大小、形状的掩模板进行光刻,从而形成多台阶的一级微纳米结构,然后进行二级微纳米加工,得到毛刺结构。
2、电极处理及引线
在本申请实施例中,可以采用镀膜、贴合、旋涂等方式将电极处理在摩擦层的外侧表面,并将导线引出。
3、隔离层处理
首先对隔离层的表面进行预处理,之后可以采用模具模压、压印、机械打孔、激光打孔等方法在隔离层上进行打孔处理。
4、封装处理
将加工完成的膜材进行堆叠,即在摩擦层上附上电极层,并将隔离层放置在两个摩擦层之间,采用涂胶、压合等方式进行封装处理。
在本申请上述实施方式中,可以通过多级微纳米结构设计或隔离层与多级微纳米结构结合的方式,扩展基于TENG的压力传感器的测量区间,提高灵敏度。并且,通过多级微纳米结构的面积与高度的协同,使得基于TENG的压力传感器在各个静态力下保持相同或类似的灵敏度;也可以通过隔离层(高度、孔径、形状等)与多级结构的(高度、面积、形状、分布)等设计,使得基于TENG的压力传感器在在不同静态力下的灵敏度趋近相同。
下面对本申请实施例提供的基于TENG的压力传感器的应用场景进行介绍,包括但不限于应用在如下设备中:
1、部署于可穿戴设备
人体脉搏波是检测人体生理的重要信息,通过压力的方式对脉搏波进行测量需要传感器具有极高的灵敏度,且为了适应在不同静态力可以测量到精度的脉搏波信息,需要压力传感器在不同静态力保持高灵敏度。因此,本申请上述实施例所提供的基于TENG的压力传感器可部署于可穿戴设备中,用于监测脉搏波动,可有效提高检测灵敏度。
2、部署于具有触摸屏的电子设备
具有触摸屏的电子设备属于一种新型的计算机设备,为了操作上的方便,人们用触摸屏来代替鼠标、键盘等。在使用时,用户首先用手指或其他物体触摸电子设备屏幕前端的触摸屏,然后设备根据手指触摸的图标或菜单位置来定位选择信息输入。
目前随着多媒体技术和图形用户界面的发展,对触摸屏的灵敏度的要求也越来越高。因此,本申请上述实施例所提供的基于TENG的压力传感器可部署于具有触摸屏的电子设备中,用于检测触摸动作,可有效提高检测灵敏度。
除了上述所述的两种典型的应用场景,本申请实施例提供的压力传感器还可以用于轮式移动设备上(如,室内机器人、车辆(如,自动驾驶车辆、普通车辆等))上,例如,可 用于检测车辆轮胎的压力等,具体本申请对此不再举例示意。
二、压阻、压容、压电类型的压力传感器
本申请实施例提出的多级微纳米结构除了可以应用在基于TENG的压力传感器上之外,也可以应用于其他类型的压力传感器,该压力传感器可以是压阻类型的压力传感器,也可以是压容类型的压力传感器,还可以是压电类型的压力传感器,具体本申请对此不做限定。具体请参阅图19,图19为本申请实施例提供的压力传感器的一个结构示意图,该压力传感包括一个功能层(可称为第一功能层401)以及两个电极层(分别为第一电极层402和第二电极层403),其中,第一电极层402与第二电极层403由具有导电能力的材料制成,例如,可以采用金属材料(金、银、铜等)、导电材料(石墨烯、氧化铟锡(indium tin oxides,ITO)、银纳米线等)等具有导电能力的材料。第一功能层401与所述第一电极层402或第二电极层403中的一个电极层相连。
第一功能层401的表面包括至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构,用于在有压力的情况下,在第一功能层401上感应出与所述压力对应的第一信号;所述第一电极层402以及第二电极层403,用于基于第一信号产生第二信号。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,在第一功能层401的表面生长的不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构与上述方式一中基于TENG的压力传感器类似,具体可参阅上述方式一中的表述,此处不予赘述。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,第一电极层402和/或第二电极层403也可以是具有导电能力的导线,电极层也可以是层级材料、插值电极、导线的组合等。如图20的示例,示意的是第一电极层402为导电线的情形(第二电极层403为导线的情形是类似的,此处不予赘述)。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述功能层可以是一个,也可以是两个,本申请对此不做限定。具体地,该压力传感器还可以包括一个功能层,具体可参阅图21,图21为本申请实施例提供的压力传感器的另一结构示意图,该额外增加的功能层可称为第二功能层404。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,第一功能层401上还可以额外包括一个预设高度的隔离层,具体请参阅图22,图22为本申请实施例提供的压力传感器的另一结构示意图,该隔离层405的预设高度可称为第二预设高度,第二预设高度大于所述至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构中任意一个的高度。该隔离层405具有预设孔径的至少一个孔洞,且该隔离层405用于在外界施加压力下提供支撑作用,以避免两个电极层(假设电极层不为电极线的情况)在所述压力作用下直接贴合。在这种情况下,多级微纳米结构就生长于隔离层的孔洞内。具体地,该隔离层405的设置于上述方式一中基于TENG的压力传感器类似,具体可参阅上述方式一中的表述,此处不予赘述。
还需要说明的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,在第一信号为第一电阻的情况下(即压力传感器为压阻类型),第二信号为第二电阻,且功能层由在不同压力下具有电阻性能变化(即具有电阻特性)的材料制成;或,在第一信号为第一电容的情况下(即压力传感器为压容类型),第二信号为第二电容,且功能层由在不同压力下具有电容性能变化(即具有电容特性)的材料制成;或,在第一信号为第一电压的情况下(即压力传感器为压电类型), 第二信号为第二电压,且功能层由在不同压力下具有压电性能变化(即具有压电特性)的材料制成。
由于不同的类型的压力传感器,在结构上都可以是图19-图22所示意的结构,但由于功能层的所选用的材料和性质会略有不同,下面分别基于各个类型的压力传感器的原理分别进行阐述:
(1)压阻类型的压力传感器
以压阻性传感器为例,功能层可以为具有导电材料的物质组成,例如:石墨烯、碳纳米管、氧化石墨烯、石墨、铜、银纳米线、ITO等组成。
功能层的结构可以由导电材料及基底材料组成,如图23所示,图23为本申请实施例提供的功能层的一个结构示意图。基底材料可以选择PTFE、PET、PE、PDMS、FEP等材料,可选地,基底材料可以由不同大小的盐粒、沙粒、微纳小球等结构组成。导电材料则可以通过蒸镀、溅射、旋涂等加工方法制作在基底材料表面。表面的纤毛结构可以采用蚀刻产生纤毛结构。
需要注意的是,在本申请的一些实施方式中,也可以不要基底材料,而是让导电材料直接部署于电极层上,如图24所示。
压阻式传感器的工作原理:当时外部施加压力时,电阻产生变化。电阻变化主要由接触面积变化及内部结构变化引起。采用多级微纳支撑结构,隔离结构可以扩展传感器的测量范围,同时,高度不同的结构可以让上下极面进行接触,若隔离层的高度为h,则传统结构需要极面形变超过h会产生较大响应。功能层凸起的高度为s,则上下极面形变在(h-s)则可产生较大接触面积变化,输出电阻产生较大变化。因此凸起高度可以降低传感器检测极限。高度不同的设计,可以让传感器在不同静态力下有较高的检测灵敏度。如图22所示,在外部压力条件下,极板与其中凸起高度接触,在小压力下在具有低检测极限和高灵敏度。
(2)电容类型的压力传感器
以电容式传感器为例,功能层可采用非导电材料实现。
电容式传感器的工作原理:当有外部压力时,会引起电容式传感器上下极面的距离变化、功能层的介电常数发生变化从而产生电容变化。功能层的介电常数发生变化主要由压力导致的功能层产生的形变,从而引起介电常数的变化。隔离层可以扩展传感器的测量范围,同时,高度不同的结构可以让上下极面进行接触,若隔离层的高度为h,则传统结构需要极面形变超过h会产生较大响应。功能层凸起的高度为s,则上下极面形变在(h-s)则可产生较大接触面积变化,从而引起功能层的形变,引起介电常数的变化,从而输出电容产生较大变化。因此凸起高度可以降低传感器检测极限。高度不同的设计,可以让传感器在不同静态力下有较高的检测灵敏度。如图22所示,在外部压力条件下,极板与其中凸起高度接触,在小压力下在具有低检测极限和高灵敏度。
(3)压电类型的压力传感器
以压电式传感器为例,功能层可选采用压电材料及压电驻极体。
压电式传感器的工作原理:当有外部压力时,会引起压电式传感器上下极面的距离变化或功能层的压电电压发生变化从而产生电容变化。功能层的介电常数发生变化主要由压 力导致的功能层产生的形变,从而引起压电电压的变化。隔离层可以扩展传感器的测量范围,同时,高度不同的结构可以让上下极面进行接触,若隔离层的高度为h,则传统结构需要极面形变超过h会产生较大响应。功能层凸起的高度为s,则上下极面形变在(h-s)则可产生较大接触面积变化,从而引起功能层的形变,引起压电电压的变化,从而输出电容产生较大变化。因此凸起高度可以降低传感器检测极限。高度不同的设计,可以让传感器在不同静态力下有较高的检测灵敏度。如图22所示,在外部压力条件下,极板与其中凸起高度接触,在小压力下在具有低检测极限和高灵敏度。
在本申请上述实施方式中,多级微纳米结构(即至少两种不同高度的微纳米的柱状结构)不仅可以应用于基于摩擦纳米发电的压力传感器,也可以应用于压阻、压容、压电等类型的压力传感器,具备广泛适用性。
