Background technology
Tactile sensing has important status in the robot sense system, it has vision etc., and other feel irreplaceable function.Vision generally must be finished by illumination, and the same with people's sensation when illumination is limited, the importance of sense of touch just highlights.What is more important, some character of surface and the physical property of sense of touch energy perceptual object: soft durometer, roughness, size, shape etc., according to the information that touch sensor provides, robot can reliably grasp target object.The trend of touch sensor is integrated, miniaturization and intellectuality.For accurately obtaining tactile data and being applicable to the surface of arbitrary shape, require touch sensor to have certain flexibility, take this to be installed on the surface of arbitrary shape adapting to different robot application, and can obtain the Three-dimension Contact force information, make it more solid and reliable ground grasping target object.
Up to now, the touch sensor of existing multiple principle of work and version.Early stage touch sensor mainly contains two kinds of mechanical type touch sensor and flexible type touch sensors, not only volume is big for they, spatial resolution is lower, and sensor is a rigidity, be that sensor can not flexural deformation and be installed on the curved surface, so they are difficult to obtain using comparatively widely in the Robotics field.
Along with the development of sensor technology, touch sensors such as condenser type and optical profile type have appearred.
Capacitance type touch sensor is when stressed, minute movement can take place in one of them electrode, thereby cause the change of electric capacity, in capacitance type touch sensor owing to there is a movable electrode, its life-span is affected, reliability is not high yet, and is difficult to obtain tangential force information, promptly can not detect three-dimensional force information.
Optical tactile sensor mainly is the optical fiber touch sensor, the detection system of optical tactile sensor is comparatively complicated, except sensor itself, therefore the high-speed computer etc. that also needs external lighting fiber, miniature CCD and be used for Flame Image Process is difficult to realize miniaturization.
Pressure-sensitive conductive rubber is to be doped with a certain amount of conducting particles in rubber matrix, and the resistance of material changes along with suffered pressure.The existing two-sided layout electrode that adopts at pressure-sensitive conductive rubber, the realization one dimension is defeated the power sensing.The sensor of this form has had certain flexibility, but because of there being an electrode on the face directly to contact with testee as workplace, can occur because of contact and grasp electron device that target object may cause and the damage of circuit, working sensor reliability thereby be affected.By this one dimension pressure transducer is carried out stack design, three-decker is set is used for detecting respectively three-dimensional force information, but need be to insulating multilayer wiring, complex manufacturing technology between each layer.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is for avoiding above-mentioned existing in prior technology weak point, provide that a kind of surperficial adaptability is strong, reliability is high, signal acquisition circuit is simple, easy to make, can be used for the touch sensor that three-dimensional force detects based on flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber.

Below by embodiment, the invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings
Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, the version that sensing unit is set is: with flexible PCB 3 is base plate, the flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2 of disk shape places on the flexible PCB 3, and is electrically connected with the electrode that distributes on the flexible PCB 3, covers power transmission hemisphere 1 on the top stress surface of flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2;
Referring to Fig. 2, flexible PCB 3 is four electrode structures, wherein, public electrode A is in center circle electrode on the concentric position with disk shape flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber, and signal electrode B, signal electrode C and signal electrode D are mutually 120 ° of sector electrodes that are evenly distributed on the same anchor ring of center circle electrode periphery.
Shown in Figure 3, public electrode A on the diverse location and three signal electrodes all are electrically connected with flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber, corresponding form three equivalent resistance R1, R2 and R3, and change, obtain sensing three-dimensional force with this with the difference of flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber force-bearing situation.
In concrete the enforcement, press array arrangement with sensing unit in surveyed area, array can be linear array or face battle array, and the flexible PCB of all unit is one-piece construction (as shown in Figure 1) in the array.
Power transmission hemisphere 1 adopts the big slightly resin material of hardness, such as 217 #Phenolics, power transmission hemisphere use the high-performance binder to be bonded in the end face of flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2;
Three-dimensional force detects mechanism:
Three-dimensional force is concentrated by power transmission hemisphere 1 and is acted on flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2, flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2 contacts with flexible PCB 3 single faces, because the piezoresistive effect of flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 3 and the contact resistance between flexible pressure-sensitive conductive rubber 2 and flexible PCB 3 electrodes, have three equivalent resistance R1, R2 and R3, resistance will change during strain.Three resistance are exported corresponding with it voltage signal through testing circuit separately respectively, and then realize to three-dimensional force Fx Fy, the detection of Fz.
The distance of the size of four electrodes and public electrode and signal electrode is big or small influential to strain output all.
When Fx does the time spent, because of being subjected to compressive strain, resistance R 1 reduces; Because of being subjected to the stretching strain of equal extent, resistance R 2 increases with R3, and every resistance increase amplitude is that resistance R 1 reduces half of amplitude.
When Fy does the time spent, resistance R 1 remains unchanged; Because of making resistance R 2 resistances, compressive strain reduces; Because of being subjected to the stretching strain of equal extent, resistance R 3 increases by identical amplitude.
When Fz does the time spent, because of being subjected to the compressive strain of equal extent, the resistance of resistance R 1, R2 and R3 reduces on an equal basis.
As follow-up circuit, the sensor output voltage signal is input to computing machine through switching gate circuit, voltage contrasting amplified circuit, data acquisition conversion, handles through matrix operation, obtains Fx, Fy, the correlation of Fz.
The demarcation of sensor:
Demarcation mode routinely, three voltage signals that each sensing unit that is arranged in array in extraction and the processing surveyed area is exported under the effect of Three-dimension Contact power, obtain the linear coupled relation between stressed and three voltage signals on x, y and the z all directions through linear decoupling zero, the process neural network decoupling obtains the coupled relation between each sensing unit again, realizes the demarcation to sensor.
