Double-temperature alarm and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrical elements, in particular to a double-temperature alarm and a method for preparing the alarm.
Background
NiTi alloy is often made into intelligent elements such as drivers and sensors due to the capability of restoring shape when reheated after low-temperature deformation (namely, one-way shape memory effect), and becomes one of the most valuable intelligent metal materials. However, the conventional driving unit based on the one-way shape memory effect must be supplemented with a biasing spring or a driving motor to realize the repeatable cycle driving function, which causes additional energy consumption and space waste, so that the development trend of increasingly lightweight, miniaturization and integration of intelligent structures is difficult to meet in the present era of material-electronics integration.
In recent years, with the rapid development of emerging fields such as interventional medicine, bionic machinery, intelligent robots and the like, the NiTi alloy with the two-way shape memory effect is gradually used for replacing the traditional driving unit, and the volume and the weight of an intelligent structure are greatly reduced due to the characteristic that the NiTi alloy can be deformed back and forth between a high-temperature shape and a low-temperature shape along with the temperature without external force intervention.
The one-way shape memory effect of NiTi alloys is an inherent property of the alloy, whereas the two-way shape memory effect requires "training" by a specific force or heat-force to achieve. Among these, the two-way shape memory effect achieved by heat-force "training" has the best cyclic stability. In particular, NiTi alloys can achieve a special two-way shape memory effect, i.e., a full-way shape memory effect, after being subjected to a thermal-force "training" treatment of constrained aging under bending conditions, wherein the bending directions of the NiTi alloys with the effect in an austenitic state are opposite to those in a martensitic state.
The NiTi alloy with the common two-way shape memory effect can realize the sensing function of single temperature without the assistance of a bias spring, but two NiTi alloy elements are required to be combined if the dual-temperature sensing function is realized.
