Most of the traditional artificial limbs are controlled by electromyography sensors to acquire the intentions of people, but the electromyography sensors have low signal to noise ratio and more interference, and the electromyography signals mainly aim at the identification of the actions of the artificial limbs and cannot be continuously controlled.
Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of the invention is as follows:
the invention provides a flexible deformation sensor, and aims to solve the problems in the prior art.
The technical scheme is as follows:

the shape-changing body, the light receiving element and the light emitting element are arranged on the substrate, the light receiving element and the light emitting element are arranged in the shape-changing body, the light receiving side of the light receiving element and the light emitting side of the light emitting element both face the shape-changing body vertically (the vertical direction is the direction vertical to the substrate as shown in fig. 2), and the position relationship between the light receiving element and the light emitting element is as follows: the light emitted from the light emitting element can be reflected by the deformation body and can be received by the light receiving element.
The morphic body is a soft skin-like material. (sponge, polyurethane, resin, ceramics, etc.)
The light receiving element is connected with a voltage dividing resistor in series and then is connected with a power supply; the light-emitting element is connected with the power supply after being connected with the current-limiting resistor in series.
The light receiving element is connected with the A/D analog-to-digital converter.

wherein: u is the supply voltage, UlIs the voltage of the photoresistor, R is the divider resistor, RlIs a photo-resistor.
The relationship between the amount of deformation and the voltage of the light receiving element corresponding to the change in the amount of deformation is obtained.
The elements on the substrate are arranged as shown in fig. 2, the interval between the light receiving elements (photoresistors) is 20mm, and the light emitting elements (light emitting diodes) are distributed at the center positions of the four light receiving elements (photoresistors) in order to ensure that the light receiving elements each receive the same illumination intensity in the initial state. The light-emitting element is arranged at the geometric center of the photoresistors (in this example, four photoresistors form a square, and the light-emitting diode is arranged at the intersection point of the diagonals of the square), so that the distance between each photoresistor and the diode is consistent, the diode uniformly emits light to the periphery, and the equal distance is ensured, namely the consistent intensity of received light is ensured.
The advantages and effects are as follows:
the shell of the traditional humanoid robot is hard, and when the traditional humanoid robot is in contact with a human body, the traditional humanoid robot can generate burden on the psychology and the physiology of the human body. The shell of the robot is packaged by a sensor made of a soft material, the soft material can be a skin-like material, and the purpose is that a person cannot have hard touch feeling during man-machine interaction, and the contact is more comfortable. The flexible sensor can enable the robot to have touch sense, and when the shell of the robot deforms, the robot can receive the deformation signal and make corresponding response.
Compared with the myoelectric signals with lower signal-to-noise ratio and more interference, the myoelectric artificial limb control system can control the artificial limb by detecting the deformation quantity of the muscle, has better continuity for the control of the artificial limb relative to the myoelectric sensor, and is better helpful for disabled people.
A deformation sensor of the present invention includes: a substrate; the substrate is provided with a light emitting element, a light receiving element and a resistor; and a deformable body which is made of a translucent elastic body, is placed on the substrate, and covers the light emitting element and the light receiving element.
The light-emitting device comprises a deformation body 1, a substrate 2, a light-receiving element 3, a light-emitting element 4, deformation body initial state density 5, light rays 6, an external force 7, deformation body deformation 8, deformation body stress state density 9, an A/D (analog-to-digital) converter 10, a voltage dividing resistor 11, a current limiting resistor 12 and a direct current power supply 13.
The light emitting elements and the light receiving elements are distributed on one side of the substrate and vertically face the deformation body. The light emitted from the light emitting element passes through the deformation body and is reflected back, and is received by the light receiving element. When the deformation body is deformed by an external force, the density of the deformation body is changed along with the deformation body, and the intensity of light received by the light receiving element is also changed along with the deformation body.
The resistor is connected with the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element in series, and the resistor connected with the light-emitting element in series plays a role in limiting current and protects the light-emitting element; the resistor connected in series with the light receiving element has a voltage division function, and when the resistance value of the light receiving element is changed due to the change of illumination, the voltage is correspondingly changed, so that the magnitude of the deformation quantity is reflected.
The voltage of the light-sensitive resistor can be obtained by the following formula:
wherein: u is the supply voltage, UlIs the voltage of the photoresistor, R is the divider resistor, RlIs a photo-resistor.
The A/D analog-to-digital converter converts the analog quantity of the photoresistor into digital quantity, and facilitates later-stage processing.
As described above, the light receiving element and the light emitting element of the present invention are both on the substrate, and complicated wiring is not required. Compared with the traditional pressure sensor, the flexible deformation body is arranged on the structure, so that the service robot can feel more comfortable to people, and the manufacturing cost is lower. The number of light emitting elements and light receiving elements can be increased according to the required accuracy of the sensor.

The interval between the light receiving elements 3 is 20mm, and the light emitting elements 4 are distributed at the center positions of the four light receiving elements 3.
A method for measuring deformation by using a flexible deformation sensor,
when the deformation body 1 is deformed by extrusion (as shown in fig. 3), light from the light emitting element 4 is reflected to the light receiving element 3 through the deformation body 1, the deformation body 1 is deformed by external force extrusion, the density of the deformation body 1 is increased, the intensity of received light is changed, the resistance value of the photosensitive resistor is increased due to less light received by the light receiving element 3, and the voltage is changed correspondingly, so that the size of the deformation quantity is reflected.
The voltage of the light-sensitive resistor can be obtained by the following formula:
wherein: u is the supply voltage, UlIs the voltage of the photoresistor, R is the divider resistor, RlIs a photo-resistor.
The relationship between the amount of deformation of the deformation body 1 and the voltage of the light receiving element 3 corresponding to the change is obtained.
The elements on the substrate are arranged as shown in fig. 2, the light receiving elements 3 (photoresistors) are spaced at intervals of 20mm, and the light emitting elements 4 (light emitting diodes) are distributed at the central positions of the four light receiving elements 3 (photoresistors) in order to ensure that the light receiving elements each receive the same intensity of light in the initial state. The light-emitting element is arranged at the geometric center of the photoresistors (in this example, four photoresistors form a square, and the light-emitting diode is arranged at the intersection point of the diagonals of the square), so that the distance between each photoresistor and the diode is consistent, the diode uniformly emits light to the periphery, and the equal distance is ensured, namely the consistent intensity of received light is ensured.
The substrate is composed of a PCB board on which a circuit of a light emitting element, a light receiving element, and a resistor is printed. The PCB specification is 100mm 50 mm.
