While the liquid alloy material-based variinductance LC intraocular pressure sensor has reduced rigidity, the sensitivity is still to be further improved; meanwhile, the variable inductance LC intraocular pressure sensor based on the liquid alloy material has certain disadvantages in the manufacturing process due to the use of various material elements, the adoption of a coil preparation method based on micro-channel liquid alloy injection and the subsequent patch capacitance penetrating coupling process, so that the success rate of the preparation method is low, the efficiency is low, the mass production is difficult, and the like.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

The specific meaning of the terms in this application will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in a specific context.
Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a contact lens sensor according to one embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a top view of the contact lens sensor. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the contact lens sensor includes: the outer thin film layer 1, the outer liquid alloy layer 2, the middle thin film layer 3, the inner liquid alloy layer 4 and the inner thin film layer 5 which are sequentially stacked, wherein the outer liquid alloy layer 2 and the inner liquid alloy layer 4 form an upper plate-type inner side capacitor structure and a lower plate-type outer side capacitor structure, the inner side capacitor structure comprises an inner side capacitor upper plate 21 and an inner side capacitor lower plate 41, and the outer side capacitor structure comprises an outer side capacitor upper plate 22 and an outer side capacitor lower plate 42. An inductor structure 23 is provided between the inner capacitor upper plate 21 and the outer capacitor upper plate 22, and the inner capacitor lower plate 41 and the outer capacitor lower plate 42 are connected by a wire. As shown in fig. 3, the contact lens sensor of the present embodiment has a CLC-type circuit structure.
In this embodiment, the outer liquid alloy layer 2 and the inner liquid alloy layer 4 form an inner capacitance structure and an outer capacitance structure of upper and lower plates respectively at an inner position and an outer position corresponding to the contact lens.
As an application example, as shown in fig. 4, the contact lens sensor is applied to a wireless passive sensing system, the wireless passive sensing system further comprises a network analyzer and a reading device, the external network analyzer is electrically connected with the reading device through a radio frequency connecting wire, the reading device and the contact lens sensor form a wireless magnetic coupling loop, and the resonance frequency of the contact lens sensor can be monitored, so that the perception of intraocular pressure is realized.
As the eye pressure increases, the cornea of the eye develops an expansive strain, which can be transferred through the tear film layer to the contact lens sensor, where the electrical sensing elements formed from the liquid alloy develop a tensile strain, i.e., the outer liquid alloy layer 2 and the inner liquid alloy layer 4 of the contact lens sensor develop a tensile strain.
As shown in fig. 5, the inductor structure 23 is tensile strained, the diameter increases (e.g., D1 to d1+Δd) from (a) in fig. 5 to (b) in fig. 5, and the inductance LS increases; at the same time, the inner capacitor structure and the outer capacitor structure (i.e., C1 and C2) also generate tensile strain, the areas of the plates of the inner capacitor structure and the outer capacitor structure (i.e., the inner capacitor upper plate 21, the outer capacitor upper plate 22, the inner capacitor lower plate 41 and the outer capacitor lower plate 42) are increased due to stretching (e.g., S1 is changed to s1+Δs1 and S2 is changed to s2+Δs2), and the capacitance values of both capacitors C1 and C2 are increased.
The inductance value and the capacitance value are increased at the same time, so that the resonance frequency of an electrical loop of the contact lens sensor is obviously reduced under the action of intraocular pressure boosting, the change of the resonance frequency of the contact lens sensor is monitored through a network analyzer, thereby realizing perception of intraocular pressure, and obviously improving the sensitivity of intraocular pressure sensing.
According to the contact lens sensor, the inner side capacitance structure, the outer side capacitance structure and the inductance coil structure are constructed through the outer liquid alloy layer and the inner liquid alloy layer, the intraocular pressure is sensed simultaneously through the three sensitive electrical structural elements, the sensitivity of the contact lens sensor is obviously improved, and the signal quality is good.
Further, in some embodiments, an inductor structure is also disposed between the inner bottom capacitor plate 41 and the outer bottom capacitor plate 42, that is, the inner bottom capacitor plate 41 and the outer bottom capacitor plate 42 are connected by the inductor structure, and the circuit structure of the contact lens sensor is the CLCL circuit structure as shown in fig. 6.
An inner side capacitance structure, an outer side capacitance structure and two inductance coil structures are constructed through the outer liquid alloy layer and the inner liquid alloy layer, intraocular pressure is sensed simultaneously through the four sensitive electrical structural elements, and the sensitivity of the contact lens sensor is further improved.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the inductance coil structure is a multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil, the number of turns of the multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil ranges from 4 turns to 16 turns, the coil width of the multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil ranges from 50 μm to 400 μm, the coil pitch of the multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil ranges from 10 μm to 200 μm, and the coil distribution diameter of the multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil ranges from 6.5mm to 11.2mm. The multi-ring annular liquid alloy coil provided by the embodiment of the application is matched with the structural layout of the contact lens, and is simple in structure and easy to realize.
As shown in (a) and (b) of fig. 7, as two possible implementations, the multi-turn annular liquid alloy coil may be in a counterclockwise-surrounding layout or a clockwise-surrounding layout, and the sensing effect is the same, without limitation.
In some embodiments, the outer film layer, the middle film layer and the inner film layer are all made of silica gel, and the process of silica gel is relatively mature and has high reliability; as one example, the silicone material may be selected from implantable medical silicone rubber materials. The outer film layer, the middle film layer and the inner film layer can also be made of other soft materials suitable for preparing contact lenses, without limitation.
The liquid alloy used for the outer liquid alloy layer 2 and the inner liquid alloy layer 4 may be gallium indium tin alloy (Ga-In-Sn), eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn), or the like.
The main parameters of the contact lens of the embodiments of the present application are preferably designed as follows:
the capacitance diameter distribution range of the inner capacitance structure is 4.5 mm-6.5 mm; the capacitance diameter distribution range of the outer capacitance structure is 11.2 mm-14.4 mm.
The total thickness range of the contact lens is: 150-400 μm; the diameter range of the contact lens is as follows: 13.2 mm-15 mm; the radius of curvature of the contact lens ranges from: 7.6 mm-8.8 mm.

The resonant frequency range of the contact lens sensor is: 10 MHz-2 GHz, and the quality coefficient range is as follows: 10 to 200.
According to preferred ranges of the main parameters of the contact lens, the resulting contact lens sensor performs better.
