Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of sensor measurement, and particularly relates to a multifunctional flexible metamorphic sensor with a single metal layer electrode, a preparation method and application.
Background
The sensing device plays an important role in systems such as human health monitoring, human-computer interaction, wind tunnel measurement, aerospace intelligent skin and the like. Temperature, deformation, flow field and humidity are important factors influencing human health and organism health. If the temperature is too high, an electronic system of an airplane can be influenced, the body can be cracked due to large deformation, the efficiency of the airplane body can be influenced by a flow field, and the corrosion of parts can be accelerated due to humidity. Similarly, for electronic skin, the body surface temperature, tension, respiratory system and environmental flow field, body surface humidity, etc. are also relevant to human health and comfort. However, most of the currently used test sensors are single-function sensors, and a plurality of sensors are used for measurement in a combined mode, so that the functions are few, the size is large, and the real-time measurement is inconvenient. Therefore, for the occasions needing to measure a plurality of quantities, the design of the sensor integrating the measurement of temperature, strain, flow velocity and humidity is significant.
Moreover, the design of the sensor can sense a plurality of parameters, and other factors are also required to be considered for influence, so that the application scene of the sensor is limited due to the overlarge size, and the precision is influenced. The hard substrate can not be completely attached to the surface to be measured, so that measurement errors are generated, a large number of leads can be generated due to integration of a plurality of functional sensors, the size and operability are greatly affected, the multiplexing can cause mutual interference among the leads, and the sensing function can be completely failed due to local damage. Therefore, the design of the sensor needs to take account of the volume, flexibility, lead count and robustness.
At present, the design of the multifunctional sensor has been developed to a certain extent, but a plurality of problems are still not solved. For example, patent 201620798993.6 discloses a multifunctional sensor for humidity, temperature and light intensity, which is realized by a side-by-side interdigital structure. The sensor has the advantages of less functions, more pins and poor robustness. Wang et al have realized the collection of signals such as temperature, humidity, ECG on the same surface in the way of adopting the epidermis electron (Wang Y, Qiu Y, America S K, et al, Low-cost, μm-thick, tape-free electronic pitch sensors with minimized movement and sweet areas [ J ]. npj Flexible Electronics), but this kind of collection mode area is big, the lead wire quantity used is big, and the metal pattern is apt to damage and leads to the whole function to be out of order, the robustness is poor. Similar problems exist with other multi-function sensors, and to address these problems, multiple aspects of influence need to be considered.
In conclusion, the research on the high-robustness single-layer metal electrode sensor which is on the flexible substrate, has the characteristics of small size, light weight and high integration degree and can realize multi-mode functional metamorphic measurement through a small number of leads has very important significance.

Specifically, the multi-modal metamorphic sensor comprises a metal functional layer, a flexible substrate and a metal attaching layer. The metal functional layer comprises a functional part and a lead part, the metal functional layer is attached to the substrate, the external lead comprises a first lead, a second lead, a third lead, a fourth lead and a fifth lead, and the variable topology switching among the leads can realize robust measurement of seven principles with four functions. The metal functional layer contains three metals respectively comprising constantan, platinum and rhodium, and the functions are not simply combined together but the multimode high-precision stable measurement is realized through topological multiplexing of the lead.
The first mode is capacitance measurement, a capacitance sensor is formed by connecting a first lead and a second lead or a third lead and a fourth lead, the capacitance sensor can be used for measuring humidity, body surface hydration and strain, and the flexible substrate of the film is made of high polymer material polyimide. When humidity changes, the polyimide absorbs partial moisture to cause the dielectric constant of the humidity-sensitive capacitor to change, the capacitance of the capacitance sensor also changes, and the capacitance changes in direct proportion to the humidity change, so the humidity changes can be obtained through the change of the capacitance, the result obtained by the combination of the two groups of pins in the measurement is the same, the damage of lead electrodes can be prevented, and the stability of the sensor is improved. In addition, when the sensor is strained, the dead areas of the two ends of the capacitor are changed, and the strain of the sensor can be measured by measuring the capacitance.
The second mode is resistance measurement, the resistance measurement can be used for representing strain and temperature, constantan metal is arranged between the second lead and the third lead, and the second lead is a common metal material for manufacturing a strain gate. Along with the deformation of the substrate, the metal foil can extend or shorten along with the strain, the resistance of the metal foil can also increase or decrease along with the extension or shortening of the foil, and the structural strain can be obtained by measuring the resistance change between the second lead and the third lead. A loop formed by the first lead and the fourth lead is used for measuring the temperature of the thermal resistor, platinum is adopted between the two leads, and the temperature of the environment is obtained by measuring the resistance at the two ends of the leads.
The third mode is potential measurement, a loop formed by connecting the first lead and the fifth lead or the fourth lead and the fifth lead adopts a thermocouple measurement principle, metal platinum and metal platinum rhodium are a thermocouple temperature measurement material combination with excellent performance, when temperature gradients exist at two ends of a thermocouple, corresponding electromotive force can be generated in the thermocouple loop, and the ambient temperature can be obtained by measuring the electromotive force at the cold end.
The fourth mode is frequency measurement, and the measurement of the frequency can be used for representing the performance of the antenna and further representing the magnitude of the dependent variable. The radiation source is composed of a lead five and a platinum-rhodium metal area (metal copper can also be used), polyimide is a medium base layer, a metal attaching layer is a grounding plate, the three form a rectangular microstrip patch antenna, a coaxial cable of the vector network analyzer and an SMA adapter are attached to the lead to monitor the resonant frequency of the antenna, and the inherent resonant frequency is changed due to the change of the rectangular size when the strain changes. The strain change is known by the change in the resonant frequency.
The fifth mode is combined mode flow velocity measurement, a heat loss detection principle and a thermal temperature difference detection principle are adopted, wherein a first lead and a fifth lead or a fourth lead and a fifth lead are connected to form a heat loss type flow velocity sensor, platinum metal is heated through control circuits such as CCA (continuous cooling channel), and meanwhile parameters such as resistance and voltage of the sensor are measured through a Wheatstone bridge and a linear compensation network, a king formula is used for obtaining the working temperature of a hot spot, and therefore measurement of the wind speed is achieved. On the other hand, a constant voltage source or a constant current source is loaded on the second lead and the third lead to heat the grid to become a heat source, the upstream temperature is measured through the resistance change of the first lead and the fifth lead, the downstream temperature is measured through the resistance change of the fourth lead and the fifth lead, the flow rate can be deduced through a formula of thermal temperature difference, performance parameters of two flow rate measurement modes are slightly different, wherein the heat loss type measurement precision is low, but the measurement range is large, the thermal temperature difference type measurement mode is high in precision, and the measurement range is small. The two flow rate measuring modes are realized through topological multiplexing of the pins, the two flow rate measuring modes are mutually verified in an overlapping area of a measuring range and mutually supplemented in a non-overlapping area, and the robustness performance and the comprehensive performance of measurement are improved.
The sixth mode is a combined mode, two different principles measure the strain sensor, and the two principles do not interfere with each other in principle. When two modes work simultaneously, even if one strain mode fails, the strain mode still works normally. Meanwhile, mutual verification between strain measurements can be completed through resistance strain measurement in the mode two and frequency strain measurement in the mode four.
The seventh mode is a combined mode, measures temperature through two principles, and can be applied to extreme environments such as spaceflight, ships and weapon systems. The mode is realized through a second mode and a third mode, the platinum resistor is measured through the second mode, temperature is measured through a thermocouple of the third mode, and the temperatures measured in the two modes are verified and supplemented with each other.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 3, when the multifunctional flexible cell sensor of the present invention is used to constitute a capacitive sensor, the calculation formula of the thermocouple is as follows:
it can be seen that the thermocouple is a function of temperature, and is connected to the first strain gate at one lead, the thermocouple metal electrode at five leads, and the electromotive force is measured by a voltmeter at the reference end, i.e., the test end, and the temperature of the hot end can be obtained by querying the thermocouple scale table after obtaining the FAB (T0, T) at the reference temperature T0 because of the use of the standard combination of metals.
The multifunctional flexible metamorphic sensor can approximately express the relationship between the resistance and the temperature of the heat loss type flow velocity sensor in a certain range as follows:
Rt＝R0(1+At+Bt2)
where A, B is a constant, the measured temperature can be inferred by resistance by looking for the relevant constant value.
As shown in fig. 4, constantan resistance can be measured through lead two and lead three, and the resistance is affected by the length and cross-sectional area:
where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length of the wire, and S is the cross-sectional area of the wire. And because Δ R/R ═ K0And e, the relation between the strain and the resistance can be obtained, and after a corresponding curve is fitted, the curve can be tested by using a Wheatstone bridge.
Meanwhile, for a microstrip patch antenna, namely a patch sensor, the following formula can be obtained:
where c is the speed of light, Δ L is the compensation length, L is the radiation source length, εreThe relation between the resonance frequency and the size is known for the effective dielectric constant, the vector network analyzer is connected with the lead wire five, the related resonance frequency is tested, a test curve is fitted, and the strain can be measured through the resonance frequency of the antenna.
As shown in fig. 5, in which lead one (or four) and lead five constitute a heat loss type flow rate sensor, the formula for the heat loss type flow rate sensor is:
wherein q (v), Δ T, v are sensor heat loss, sensor and measured fluid temperature difference and fluid velocity, respectively, A, B is constant, measured temperature is calculated by pt resistance side quantity formula in fig. 3 description, relation between temperature and flow velocity is fitted through data, and A, B parameter is calibrated for measurement. The first lead, the second lead, the third lead, the fourth lead and the fifth lead form a thermal differential flow velocity sensor together, and for the thermal differential flow velocity sensor, the formula is as follows:
the relation between the temperature and the flow rate can be known, wherein the first lead wire and the fifth lead wire form an upstream temperature measuring unit, the fourth lead wire and the fifth lead wire form a downstream temperature measuring unit, the second lead wire and the third lead wire form a heating resistor, and the A 'constant and the B' constant are fitted by measuring the relation between the temperature difference and the flow rate of the upstream and the downstream, so that a complete curve can be fitted for measurement.
As shown in fig. 6, an interdigital capacitor is formed between the lead-platinum electrode and the lead-constantan electrode, and the basic principle is only explained here, the relative humidity of polyimide is approximately linear, and the capacitance in the capacitance formula is also in direct proportion to the dielectric constant of the medium, so that the measured humidity and the measured capacitance can be used for fitting, and the fitted curve is used as a standard curve to calibrate the measured environment.
The invention carries out key consideration and structural design on the reduction of interference among sensors with different functional modes, wherein the back interdigital design on the lead of the strain sensor can reduce the influence of capacitance interdigital resistance on the strain resistance. The close resistivity of constantan and platinum can eliminate the influence of resistance on the measurement accuracy of the capacitance sensor. Due to the design of the interdigital capacitor with bilateral symmetry, on one hand, the length of platinum is improved, the measurement precision of the thermal resistance is increased, on the other hand, the facing area of the interdigital capacitor is improved, the size of the capacitor pair is improved, and the measurement precision is increased. The platinum-rhodium alloy patch antenna part has the advantages that the whole area is wide, the resistance is small, the interference of metal materials with different thermocouple functions on the thermal resistance type temperature sensor is reduced, the relative size of the joint with different resistivity is small due to the change of the materials of the upper connecting part and the lower connecting part, and the interference of the lower part of the sensor on the patch antenna is reduced.
