Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the first conductive yarn 10 and the second conductive yarn 20 have a plurality of intersections, and the point-contact wearable pressure sensor can acquire position information of each intersection. The position information of each intersection point can be obtained by line-row scanning, infrared imaging, equivalent model building, gyroscope and the like. The pressure sensing points are constructed by arranging a plurality of cross points, and at the moment, only one acquisition circuit is arranged at the end points of the first conductive yarn 10 and the second conductive yarn 20, so that the acquisition circuit and each cross point form a conductive path, an electric signal at each cross point can be acquired, and the pressure at the corresponding position can be detected by assisting the position information of the cross point.

The flexible substrate is prepared separately, so that the integration and cleaning, the disassembly after the integration and the repair after the damage are convenient, and the fabric can not be influenced.
Example 1
A point contact type wearable pressure sensor comprises a flexible substrate (particularly a relatively soft terylene twill fabric), first conductive yarns 10 and second conductive yarns 20 which are integrated on the surface of the flexible terylene twill fabric substrate through fixing yarns (particularly terylene yarns with the denier of 130 and relatively smooth surface), wherein the first conductive yarns and the second conductive yarns are distributed in a mutually crossed mode, and an acquisition circuit is used for acquiring electric signals at the crossed points of the first conductive yarns 10 and the second conductive yarns 20.
Wherein the first conductive yarn 10 is a core spun yarn, specifically a stainless steel wire with a core layer of multiple denier 40 (as an electrode, with a resistivity of about 0.25 x 10)-6~0.85×10-6Ω · m) and a sheath of a composite yarn of carbon black and polyester (resistivity of about 0.58 × 10)6Ω · m) is formed by core-wrapping with 50 twists per 10cm by a core-wrapping machine.
