Definitions
- the present invention relates to a piezoelectric sensor and an input device including the same. More specifically, in high-temperature environments such as inside the engine of an internal combustion engine (or inside the cylinder of an internal combustion engine) or inside a plant such as a nuclear power plant, pressure, vibration, acceleration, etc.
- a transparent piezoelectric sensor formed between a transparent conductive film (transparent electrode) facing a piezoelectric element, and a transparent input device in which a plurality of the piezoelectric elements are arranged.
- piezoelectric sensors have been used in various fields.
- the transparent input device is a resistive film type (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Heisei 5-22479 (published on September 19, 1997) 21)), Capacitance method (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Heisei 5-324 2 03 (published on January 7, 1993)), analog capacitance method, ultrasonic surface acoustic wave Method (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-182,842 (published on June 28, 2002)) and infrared scanning method (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-4515) No. 5 gazette (publication date: February 16, 1990) is used.
- a transparent input device of the resistive film type comprises a pair of opposing substrates, It consists of a top sheet (upper substrate) on the surface of the power panel and a lower substrate facing it. Further, the inside of each substrate is coated with a transparent conductive film, and the transparent conductive films face each other with a predetermined distance therebetween. That is, the transparent conductive films are not in contact with each other.
- the capacitance type or analog capacitance type transparent input device changes its capacitance when a finger touches the input panel coated with a transparent conductive film. Based on the principle, the contact position is detected.
- a transparent input device of an ultrasonic elastic wave type or an infrared scanning type detects a contact position by running on a transparent panel with a surface acoustic wave or an infrared ray.
- the transparent input device of the resistive film type transparent input device when external pressure comes into contact with the top sheet, the transparent conductive films at intervals come into contact with each other, the contact position is calculated from the voltage gradient of the transparent conductive film, and the contact position is calculated. Is detected. For this reason, in a resistive transparent input device, the top sheet must be deformed by contact with external pressure. As a result, the transparent input device of the resistive film type has a problem in that scratches are generated due to contact between the transparent conductive films and that the transparent conductive film must be deformed, thereby improving durability.
- a transparent input device of a capacitance type or an analog capacitance type detects a contact position based on a change in capacitance. For this reason, naturally, there is a problem that malfunction may occur if electromagnetic noise (noise) is generated.
- the configuration of a transparent input device of the ultrasonic elastic wave type or the infrared scanning type tends to be complicated, and it is difficult to cope with simultaneous multipoint contact. There is a problem that.
- piezoelectric sensors include the use of structural sensors to detect abnormalities in piping or valves in plants such as nuclear power plants, or in structures that create high-temperature atmospheres, such as internal combustion engine engines. Some are installed inside. For example, acoustic emission sensors that detect acoustic emissions, which are elastic waves generated when cracks and cracks occur, and piezoelectric vibration sensors that detect information on abnormal vibration and acceleration, are used. Of these, various types such as a compression type, a cantilever type, a diaphragm type, and a shear type are known.
- the compression type thin film piezoelectric sensor is composed of a laminated body in which a pedestal, a pedestal-side electrode, a piezoelectric body, a load body-side electrode, and a load body are sequentially laminated, and the lower surface of the pedestal is rigidly attached to the object to be measured. In other words, it is used by being attached to the base.
- the vibration is transmitted to the pedestal side of the sensor. Vibration occurs on the pedestal side of the sensor together with the object to be measured.
- the vibration is delayed due to the inertial force, and compression or tensile stress is generated in the piezoelectric body in proportion to the vibration acceleration.
- the piezoelectric material used in such a piezoelectric sensor is a special one. Published Heihei 6—148011 (published on May 27, 1994) ⁇ Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei10—20963 (published August 1998) 7)), piezoelectric materials such as lead zirconate titanate and polyvinylidene fluoride are used, but the piezoelectric material of such a piezoelectric material has a Curie temperature at which polarization disappears. It is low, and its application limit temperature is at most 300 ° C. In order to keep the piezoelectric body at the applicable temperature, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
- H5-203665 discloses that the piezoelectric body is cooled by a Peltier element. Things are disclosed. However, since the Bertier element only has a function of generating a local temperature gradient, a cooling mechanism cannot be attached to the outside separated from the piezoelectric body, and the Peltier element can be applied where the temperature of the piezoelectric body becomes high as a whole. Did not.
- the high-temperature thin-film vibration sensor described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-122628 (published May 19, 1998) has been developed to solve these problems.

- the piezoelectric element is made of a piezoelectric material having no Curie point, and has a dipole orientation degree of 75% or more.
- a “piezoelectric material” is a material that has piezoelectric properties and does not lose its piezoelectricity until the crystal is melted or sublimated. In other words, it is a material that does not undergo polar dislocations as the temperature rises. Specifically, there is a substance having a crystal structure of a wurtzite structure.
- a substance having a crystal structure of wurtzite structure has piezoelectricity because there is no symmetry in the crystal.Furthermore, unlike ferroelectrics such as lead zirconate titanate, there is no Curie point, It does not lose its piezoelectric properties until the crystal melts or sublimes. Therefore, a piezoelectric element made of such a piezoelectric material is excellent in heat resistance and does not deteriorate in piezoelectric properties even at high temperatures, so it was assumed that the piezoelectric element was exposed to a high temperature close to 500 ° C like an engine cylinder. However, the function as the piezoelectric element is not lost. Therefore, cooling means for the piezoelectric element becomes unnecessary.
- the “degree of dipole orientation” is defined as the ratio of crystal poles forming an electric dipole, in which the polarity of the surface of the thin film is positive or negative and occupied in the same direction. If the directions of the polarities of the crystal columns are completely random, the piezoelectricity of each crystal column cancels each other, and the piezoelectricity disappears in the entire thin film.

Since the combustion temperature in the engine cylinder is about 500 ° C., the piezoelectric element using A 1 N can maintain the piezoelectric characteristics without using cooling means in the engine cylinder. Therefore, a piezoelectric element made of such a piezoelectric material is excellent in heat resistance and does not deteriorate in piezoelectric characteristics even at high temperatures. Also, it has excellent workability and is suitable for thinning.

Also included.
- a thin metal diaphragm is used as the pressure transmitting means, and a piezoelectric element is formed on the surface of the metal diaphragm.
- a thin pressure sensing means with a pure structure is obtained, and a complicated structure for pressure transmission such as a pressure transmission rod is omitted.
- the metal diaphragm used in this configuration is used only for transmitting pressure to the piezoelectric element, and generates not a flexural strain but a compressive strain. Therefore, the amount of strain due to the pressure is negligible, the strain of the piezoelectric element formed thereon is small, and no structure is required to prevent the piezoelectric element from being broken due to excessive strain. Therefore, the structure of the piezoelectric sensor is further simplified.

Therefore, it was necessary to adopt a complicated structure in which the piezoelectric element was cooled or the piezoelectric element was installed at a low temperature away from the internal combustion engine. Since there is no need to consider it, the structure can be simplified.
