Description

Surface structure physical property detection module
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a surface structure physical property detection module, which is particularly suitable for detecting the tightness or smoothness of animal skin or plant epidermis.
Background
Such as the surface structure of the skin of a human body or the epidermis of a plant fruit, etc., it is important to analyze the physical properties of the surface. Taking human skin as an example, the physical properties of the surface of the skin include elasticity, smoothness and the like, and have measurement values in the beauty field or the dermatological field. Elasticity can be divided into the measurement of longitudinal (normal) elasticity of the skin and the measurement of transverse (tangential) elasticity of the skin.
For the measurement of the longitudinal elasticity of the skin, the most common device belonging to CK in the market at present, as shown in US5054502A, the related patent adopts a negative pressure and optical measurement mode to detect the skin elasticity.
For the measurement of the elasticity of the skin in the transverse or tangential direction (which may reflect the tightness of the skin), patent US20020029924A1 proposes to analyze the elasticity characteristics of the surface structure by means of the time span of the propagation of the acoustic pulses on the surface structure, and to determine the elasticity values in the transverse and longitudinal directions, in which case the duration of the propagation of the sound in the skin is not only related to the folds of the skin, but also to the content ratio of the components of the skin, so that an indirect measurement of the transverse elasticity with the duration of the acoustic propagation is prone to errors.
Patent US10463276B2 proposes a device for measuring mechanical properties of tissue, useful for testing skin tissue, plant tissue (e.g. fruits and vegetables) or any other biological tissue of an animal, comprising a probe configured to perturb the tissue by a movement relative to the tissue surface; an actuator coupled to the probe to move the probe; a detector configured to measure a tissue-to-tissue response; and a controller coupled to the actuator and the detector. In use the controller drives the actuator using a random sequence and uses the measured response received from the detector to determine the mechanical properties of the tissue. In the above, the literature suggests that the probe may comprise a set of interchangeable heads, including a head for moving the probe laterally and a head for moving the probe vertically, that the perturbation may comprise extending (longitudinally) tissue with the probe or sliding the probe across (transversely) the tissue surface, and may further comprise indentation of the tissue with the probe. It is considered that the patent US10463276B2 is a tactile detection method, the detection means is directly related to the detection target (the elasticity of the surface structure), but the structure of the sensor used in the patent US10463276B2 is not disclosed, and the resolution performance of the detection of the elastic force is very high in the elastic detection of the skin, especially in the transverse elastic detection, so that the conventional tactile sensor is basically difficult to reach.
On the other hand, for the detection of skin smoothness, the conventional technology basically adopts an optical mode, as described in patent US6251070B1, the change of skin is recorded by an optical photographing device for analysis, and interference caused by ambient light and darkness exists, and meanwhile, direct detection is not performed by a tactile mode.
Disclosure of Invention
The utility model aims to provide a device for detecting physical characteristics (such as transverse elasticity or smoothness) of a surface structure in a tactile manner, so that the device has multiple functions, and can obtain higher measurement accuracy by utilizing direct correlation and higher force resolution based on a sensor structure.
To this end, there is provided a surface structure physical property detection module comprising: the flexible multifunctional layer is deformed by external force to drive the upper electrode to change the contact area with the insulating layer, at least one of the upper electrode and the lower electrode is at least two, and different capacitances are formed between the upper electrode and the lower electrode to reflect the components of the force in different directions; a tangential actuator for driving the first sensor unit during measurement in a tangential movement in contact with the surface structure; a first normal actuator for driving the first sensor unit to move in a normal direction perpendicular to the tangential direction; the capacitance-to-digital conversion circuit is coupled with each electrode through the switch array and used for forming different capacitances between the upper electrode and the lower electrode in the first sensor unit; and the processing module is respectively coupled with the capacitance-to-digital conversion circuit, the tangential actuator and the first normal actuator.
In the module, for the detection of the transverse elasticity, the tangential actuator can drive the first sensor unit to perform very small displacement in the tangential direction, the displacement is small enough to keep the first sensor unit not to slide relative to the surface structure (the surface structure such as skin is driven by friction to perform transverse displacement) under the transverse elasticity of the surface structure such as skin, in the process, the deformation of the flexible multifunctional layer and the formation of different capacitances between the upper electrode and the lower electrode can reflect the components of the force in different directions such as the tangential direction, the normal direction and the like, and the capacitance value of each electrode is acquired by matching with CDC, so that higher force resolution is achieved. The lateral elastic force is large, and the surface structure such as skin is considered to have high tightness or compactness, and the lateral elastic force is small, so that the tightness or compactness is reflected.
For the detection of the smoothness, the first sensor unit can be driven to slide on a surface structure such as skin through the tangential actuator, the flexible multifunctional layer generates tiny vibration in the normal direction and the tangential direction in the sliding process, and the deformation of the flexible multifunctional layer is also utilized to form different capacitors to be matched with CDC to detect the tangential force and the normal force in a high-resolution mode, so that the smoothness is measured.
In the process of detecting the transverse elastic force or the smoothness, the first sensor unit can be driven by the first normal actuator to perform normal movement to be basically the same as the normal force detected last time (the tangential force detection is only meaningful under the condition that the stable normal force is basically the same in each detection, and basically the relation between the tangential force and the normal force is calculated in the detection of the transverse elastic force and the smoothness).
The module of the utility model can be suitable for detecting the transverse elasticity and smoothness, thereby achieving multiple purposes.
As one of the improvements of providing the anchor point, the detection module may be provided with a fixing member which is driven by a first normal actuator to perform normal movement and is used for pressing the surface structure when driving the first sensor unit to perform tangential movement during measurement.
As a further development of providing an anchor point, the detection module may be provided with a fixture for pressing the surface structure during the measurement when the first sensor unit is driven in tangential movement, e.g. the detection module surface protrudes out of the fixture, by controlling its protruding length, the pressing of the surface structure when the first sensor unit is moved in tangential direction over the surface structure provides an anchor point effect. Further, the detection module is provided with a second normal actuator for driving the fixing piece to perform normal movement, so that the fixing piece is controlled to perform independent normal movement. More preferably, the fixing member is configured to include a pressure detecting sensor fixed to and driven by the second normal actuator to move in the normal direction, in which case the fixing member as an anchor point is also provided with pressure detecting capability by the pressure detecting sensor, which is also aimed at maintaining the same pressing force for each measurement to maintain the same measuring environment for each measurement (surface structures such as tissues of the skin are correlated, pressing to a certain place will affect elasticity, wrinkling condition, etc. of the adjacent skin, and thus the force for each pressing needs to be maintained stable). More optionally, in order to achieve detection of normal force with high resolution, the pressure detection sensor is configured as a second sensor unit, the second sensor unit is provided with a flexible multifunctional layer, a curved elastic electrode electrically connected with the multifunctional layer is arranged in the flexible multifunctional layer to serve as an upper electrode, a lower electrode is arranged below the upper electrode, an insulating layer is arranged between the upper electrode and the lower electrode, the downward projection of the upper electrode at least covers part of the area of the lower electrode, and the flexible multifunctional layer is deformed by external force to drive the upper electrode to change the contact area with the insulating layer; the capacitance-to-digital conversion circuit is coupled to each electrode in the second sensor unit through the switch array for capacitance formed between the upper electrode and the lower electrode in the second sensor unit.
As a further development, the detection module is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the movement direction of the first sensor unit in the tangential direction, so that the stretching direction is controlled not to deflect.
As another improvement scheme, on the basis of forming the capacitive combinations in different vector directions, the flexible multifunctional layer is configured to comprise a sphere or an ellipsoid, at least one of the upper electrode and the lower electrode below the flexible multifunctional layer is at least three, and at this time, the flexible multifunctional layer can achieve a good deformation effect of being stressed in the XYZ three-dimensional direction in a sphere or ellipsoid arrangement. Or the flexible multifunctional layer is configured to comprise a strip shape, at least one of the upper electrode and the lower electrode is arranged in at least two, each electrode of the upper electrode and the lower electrode is distributed on two sides of the strip of the flexible multifunctional layer, the flexible multifunctional layer can drive the upper electrode to change the contact area with the insulating layer through stress deformation in the radial direction of the strip shape, and the strip shape of the flexible multifunctional layer affects the stress deformation in the strip shape extending direction and only has the stress deformation effect in the XZ or YZ two-dimensional direction. The optimal choice of the upper electrode is to form the same shape with the flexible multifunctional layer, for example, when the flexible multifunctional layer is arranged in a spherical shape or an ellipsoidal shape, the upper electrode is also arranged in the spherical shape or the ellipsoidal shape to achieve the optimal resolution effect, or when the flexible multifunctional layer is in a strip shape, the upper electrode is arranged in a strip shape parallel to the flexible multifunctional layer.
