Description

Elastomer assembly for pressure sensor, pressure detection device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of novel sensors, and particularly relates to an elastomer component for a pressure sensor, a pressure detection device and a pressure detection method.
Background
A pressure sensor is a device that detects a pressing force. Through the circuit, the pressure sensor converts pressure change into electric signal output, which is the most common sensor in automation equipment. Pressure sensors are classified into various types according to the structure, shape, principle and use scene of the pressure sensor, and common types include strain type, piezoresistive type, capacitive type, piezoelectric type and vibration frequency type pressure sensors. The miniature pressure sensor is intended to be applied to a system with limited space or compact gap, has the characteristics of small volume, quick response, high precision, stable performance and the like, and has application in the fields of medical appliances, environmental monitoring, automatic robots and the like.
One type of miniature pressure sensor adopts the principle of resistance strain, and under the action of pressure, an elastomer deforms, and a strain resistor film arranged on the elastomer deforms, so that the resistance value of a built-in resistor grid is changed. The change of the resistance value can be accurately acquired through the Wheatstone bridge, and the pressure is further reflected. The elastic body is used as a core component of the pressure sensor, and the performance of the elastic body directly determines the size, the measuring range and the precision of the sensor, so that the use of a material with excellent performance as the elastic body for preparing the miniature pressure sensor has important significance. Currently, the elastomer of the pressure sensor mainly adopts 17-4PH stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, 630 stainless steel, 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and the like. However, the materials are limited by low strength and high elastic modulus, and the micro pressure sensor prepared by using the materials has low sensitivity, poor precision and small measuring range. Although the performance of these materials can be improved by complex heat treatment and trace element doping, the processing difficulty and the production cost are high, and the requirements of the micro pressure sensor are still difficult to meet, so that special elastomer materials are required to be developed for the characteristics of the micro pressure sensor.
Amorphous alloys, also known as metallic glasses, have a disordered internal atomic arrangement and do not have the periodicity of long range order in crystalline materials. The amorphous alloy has excellent mechanical properties of far-reaching super-crystalline materials, such as high strength, low modulus, high hardness, good wear resistance and the like, is quite suitable for being used as an elastomer material of a miniature pressure sensor, and can solve a series of problems of low sensitivity, small measuring range and the like of the traditional miniature pressure sensor; meanwhile, the amorphous alloy system is more, the component range in the same system is wide, and the requirements of different sensors on the elastomer materials can be met. Amorphous alloy film pressure sensors prepared by vacuum coating processes have been reported in the prior art. Although the sensitivity of the sensor is obviously improved, the preparation process is complex, the sensor is limited by the thickness of the micron order of the film, only small force can be measured, the range is limited, and large-scale industrial application is difficult to realize. Compared with an amorphous alloy film sensor, the sensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity, wide range and the like by using the bulk amorphous alloy as an elastomer material, and has wider application range; however, the preparation and processing processes of the amorphous alloy and the film are different, and no report on using the amorphous alloy as the elastomer material of the miniature pressure sensor exists at present.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and to provide an elastomeric component for miniature pressure sensors, a pressure sensing device and a method based on bulk amorphous alloys.

Meanwhile, the invention adopts the elastomer die casting technology and the strain resistance sputtering technology, so that the manufacturing process is automatic, the production cost is lower, and the production period of the miniature pressure sensor is greatly reduced.
The pressure detection device has the characteristics of simple structure, high acquisition frequency, high acquisition precision and stable and reliable performance, solves the difficult problems of low measurement precision and small measuring range of the strain resistance sensor in the aspect of miniature size, and simultaneously, the analog output transmitter and the programmable logic controller can be further integrated on a circuit board through electronic technology to realize further miniaturization of the pressure detection device.
