In steps where no necessary causal relationship exists logically, the order of execution of the steps is not limited to that provided by the embodiments of the present application.
With reference to fig. 1A and 1B, embodiments of the present application provide a capacitive torque sensor, comprising: a first electrode plate 101, a support 102 and a circuit assembly 103. The circuit assembly 103 comprises a packaging shell 104, a second electrode plate 105 positioned on the surface of the packaging shell 104, and an inductance element 106, a power-drawing part 107 and a signal transmitting antenna 108 positioned inside the packaging shell 104, wherein the circuit assembly 103 is mounted right above the first electrode plate 101 through the bracket 102, so that the second electrode plate 105 faces the first electrode plate 101, and the first electrode plate 101 is separated from the second electrode plate 105 through air, namely the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 form a capacitor. The capacitor, the inductive element 106 and the energy absorbing component 107 form a resonant circuit, the signal transmitting antenna 108 is connected with the resonant circuit, an equivalent circuit of the capacitive torque sensor is shown in fig. 2, the energy absorbing component 107 is used for converting the absorbed energy into electric energy to provide the required electric energy for the resonant circuit, and the signal transmitting antenna 108 is used for radiating a resonant signal generated by the resonant circuit outwards, wherein the frequency of the resonant signal is proportional to the torque borne by the capacitive torque sensor.
In specific implementation, the support 102 may be made of a metal material or a non-metal material with certain toughness, referring to fig. 1A and fig. 1B, generally, two sides of the first electrode plate 101 may be respectively provided with one support, when the support 102 is stressed, a fixed point at the bottom of the support 102 is used as a fulcrum to generate a certain angle of deflection, and the larger the deflection angle generated by the support 102 is, the larger the borne moment is. In practical applications, the two brackets 102 may deflect in the same direction or in opposite directions, and once the brackets 102 deflect, the facing areas or the spacing distances between the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 may change, which may cause the capacitance value of the capacitor formed by the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 to change, the positive area and the capacitance value of each point on the first electrode plate 101 and each point on the second electrode plate 105 are directly proportional to each other, the distance value between the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 is inversely proportional to the capacitance value, and the total capacitance value of the capacitor is the integral sum of each point on the electrode plates. Referring to the equivalent circuit diagram of the capacitive torque sensor shown in fig. 2, once the capacitance value changes, the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit changes, and the resonant frequency is determined according to the change of the capacitance value
It is understood that the smaller the capacitance value of the capacitor, the larger the resonance frequency. That is, the larger the torque applied to the holder 102, the smaller the facing area between the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 and the larger the electrode plate pitch, which results in a smaller capacitance value of the capacitor and a larger resonance frequency. Therefore, the frequency of the resonance signal is proportional to the torque borne by the capacitive torque sensor, and the magnitude of the torque borne by the bracket 102 can be obtained by analyzing the frequency change of the radiation signal of the signal transmitting antenna 108.
Under the condition that the support is not stressed, the capacitive torque sensor is mounted in a manner that the first electrode plate 101 and the second electrode plate 105 are opposite.

When the surface direction of the metal structural part is subjected to torque, the influence caused by the torque is amplified through deflection deformation of the bracket 102, the detection precision of the sensor is improved, and the capacitive torque sensor is simple in structure, convenient to install, low in cost and capable of being applied to common vehicles in batches.
