In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 3, the upper surface of the air-permeable plate 100 of the imitation comb device is alternately provided with arc-shaped concave surfaces 103 and planes, and an air-permeable array provided with through holes 101 and convex hulls 102 is arranged on the arc-shaped concave surfaces 103 at fixed intervals; the lower surface of the imitation comb ventilation plate 100 is a plane; the convex hulls 102 and the through holes 101 are alternately distributed and correspond to the gas sensitive layer 200 below, so that the flow rate of volatile gas is reduced, the surface residence time is prolonged, and higher sensitivity is obtained. Wherein the upper surface of the imitation comb ventilation plate 100 is the side facing away from the gas sensitive layer 200; the lower surface of the hackle-like ventilation plate 100 is the side surface close to the gas sensitive layer 200. Preferably, the diameter of the through holes 101 is 300-400 μm, and the distance between two adjacent through holes 101 is 400-5000 μm; the diameter of the convex hull 102 is 100-300 μm, and the distance between two adjacent convex hulls 102 is 300-4000 μm.
Next, the gas sensitive layer 200, i.e., the ion PUA film, is mounted under the comb-like gas permeable plate 100, opposite to the positions of the through holes 101 and the convex hulls 102, and the ionic liquid exists in the PUA matrix in the form of cation-anion pairs, forming an ion PUA film having a high viscosity. When the film is exposed to chemical gases such as acetone, n-hexane, propanol, etc., the film is peeled off. The conductivity equation of the electrolyte of the gas sensing section 210 is therefore:
wherein sigma is the conductivity of the electrolyte, N A Is the Avgalileo number, c i ,q i ,D i The concentration, charge and diffusion coefficient of i ions, respectively.
The ionic PUA membrane is formed by using an ionic liquid as a cation-anion pair in a PUA matrix, and when the film is exposed to chemical gases such as acetone, hexane, propanol, etc., ion interactions of the ion pair are suppressed as molecules of the chemical gases penetrating the ionic PUA membrane are adsorbed by the ionic liquid. Thus, the viscosity of the ionic liquid decreases and the number of free ions increases. According to the Nernst Einstein equation, the enhanced ion diffusivity of the chemical gas increases the conductivity, thereby measuring the concentration of the volatile chemical gas.
Further, referring to fig. 4, it can be seen that the size of each patch is consistent with the area of the ventilation array at the corresponding location, and the patch is covered on the first microstructure 302. I.e. the gas sensitive layer 200 covers the interdigital electrodes and contacts the through holes 101 of the lower layer of the comb-like air-permeable plate 100. Preferably, the thickness of the gas sensitive layer 200 is 20 to 100 μm.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the projected areas of the first microstructure 302 and the second microstructure 402 on the hackle-simulating porous dielectric layer 300 correspond. The square electrode in the pressure sensing electrode layer corresponds to the interdigital electrode, and when the capacitive touch sensor is pressed, the capacitance between the square electrode and the interdigital electrode changes.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, the first microstructure 302 includes interdigital electrodes, and the first signal transmission channel 301 includes conductive paths arranged in a grid, where each interdigital electrode corresponds to a gas sensor under one gas permeable array; the second microstructure 402 includes square electrodes, and the second signal transmission channel 401 includes conductive paths arranged in a grid. Preferably, the thickness of the first microstructure 302 and the first signal transmission channel 301 is 30-50 nm; the thickness of the second microstructure 402 and the second signal transmission channel 401 is 30 to 50nm.
The contact surface between the interdigital electrode and the square electrode is a comb-like porous dielectric layer 300, the contact surface between the first signal transmission channel 301 and the second signal transmission channel 401 is also a comb-like porous dielectric layer 300, and the non-woven fabric tape layer 400 is arranged below the square electrode and the second signal transmission channel 401. The expression equation for the capacitance of the pressure sensing portion 310 is therefore:
wherein ε is 0 Dielectric constant, ε, of vacuum r Is the relative permittivity of the dielectric layer, a is the overlap area between the two electrodes, and d is the distance between the electrodes.
Capacitive is one of the most common mechanisms in touch sensing, where a capacitive touch sensor converts a mechanical input into a change in capacitance, and a pressure sensing portion is fabricated by sandwiching a comb-like porous dielectric layer 300 between two parallel electrodes, an interdigital electrode and a square electrode, respectively. The opposite charge on the electrode creates a capacitance that can be mechanically altered by the variation of the simulated comb porous dielectric layer 300 upon application of a voltage. In three variables (ε) responsive to mechanical changes r In a, a and d), d and a are typically used to measure normal and shear forces, respectively.
As shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the random porous structure 303 is a honeycomb-like random porous structure in which small pores are interposed between large pores, wherein the average diameter of the small pores is 3.4 to 3.6 μm and the average diameter of the large pores is 16.0 to 16.2 μm.
It should be noted that the substrate made of flexible material is a non-woven fabric tape, and the non-woven fabric tape is directly contacted with the working surface.
