Description

Taktiier Flächenseπsor Taktiier Flächenseπsor
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen taktilen Flächensensor zur Feststellung eines Tastortes.The invention relates to a tactile surface sensor for detecting a Tastortes.
Taktile Flächensensoren finden auf vielen technischen Gebieten Einsatz. Beispielsweise werden sie in Fahrzeugsitzen angeordnet, um zu detektieren, ob eine Person auf dem Sitz sitzt. Sie werden auch in der Orthopädie und der Sportmedizin eingesetzt, um beispielsweise das Abrollen des Fußes bzw. Schuhs genau erfassen zu können. Taktile Flächensensoren werden auch In sog. Datenhandschuhen für die Teleoperation eingesetzt. Taktile Flächensensoren werden auch in sogenannten Datenhandschuhen für die Teleoperation eingesetzt. Derartige Sensoren werden ebenfalls in der Robotik für den Tastsinn z. B, bei Roboterhänden und Armen eingesetzt,Tactile surface sensors are used in many technical fields. For example, they are placed in vehicle seats to detect if a person is sitting on the seat. They are also used in orthopedics and sports medicine, for example, to accurately detect the rolling of the foot or shoe. Tactile surface sensors are also used in so-called data gloves for teleoperation. Tactile surface sensors are also used in so-called data gloves for teleoperation. Such sensors are also used in robotics for the sense of touch z. B, used in robotic hands and arms,
Herkömmliche Flächensensoren in der Form von Kontaktfolien erlauben in der Regel ausschließlich die Feststellung eines Tastortes. Die Kontaktfolien werden aus einer dünnen flexiblen PE-Folie gebildet und enthalten sich kreuzende Metalldrähte, die bei fehlendem Tastdruck beabstandet zueinander sind und bei vorliegendem Tastdruck einander berühren. Durch die Berührung wird eine elektrische Verbindung hergestellt, die lokalisiert werden kann. Je nach Typ des Flächensensors kann nur ein Kontaktschwerpunkt festgestellt werden.Conventional surface sensors in the form of contact films usually allow only the determination of a Tastortes. The contact foils are formed from a thin flexible PE film and contain intersecting metal wires, which are spaced apart in the absence of tactile pressure and touch each other at this tactile pressure. The contact establishes an electrical connection that can be located. Depending on the type of surface sensor, only one contact center of gravity can be determined.
Bei Datenhandschuhen werden häufig Lichtleiter eingesetzt, deren Beugung detektiert werden kann. Bekannte Kontaktfoiien können nicht ohne weiteres an jedem Gegenstand fixiert werden. Eine zu starke Biegung oder ein Knicken der Kontaktfolie führt schnell zur Zerstörung, Ferner kann mit den Kontaktfolien nur ein Tastort ermittelt werden, nicht jedoch eine Tastkraft.Data gloves often use optical fibers whose diffraction can be detected. Known contact foils can not be easily fixed to any object. Excessive bending or buckling of the contact foil quickly leads to the destruction. Furthermore, only one touch location can be determined with the contact foils, but not a touch force.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es demgegenüber, einen flexiblen taktilen Flächensensor zu schaffen, mit dem auch die Tastkraft ermittelt werden kann.The object of the invention is in contrast to provide a flexible tactile surface sensor with which the force can be determined.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfiπdungsgemäß gelöst durch einen taktilen Flächensensor mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved erfiπdungsgemäß by a tactile surface sensor with the features of claim 1.
Der erfindungsgemäße taktile Flächensensor weist ein Gewebe aus sich kreuzenden und an den Kreuzungen berührenden Gewebefasern auf, wobei jede Gewebefaser einen Faserkern aus einer elektrischen Leitung und eine elastische und elektrisch resistiv leitende Widerstandshülle aufweist.The tactile area sensor according to the invention comprises a tissue of intersecting and intersecting tissue fibers, each tissue fiber comprising a fiber core of an electrical lead and an elastic and electrically resistive conductive resistance sheath.
Der Flächensensor wird also von einer einlagigen Gewebematte gebildet mit Gewebefasern, die vorzugsweise rechtwinklig in klassischer Weise miteinander verwoben sind, d.h. sich abwechselnd oben und unten kreuzend zueinander angeordnet sind. An den Kreuzungen berühren sich die Gewebefasern, so dass an den Kreuzungen ständig ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen den beiden sich kreuzenden Gewebefasern besteht.The surface sensor is thus formed by a single-ply fabric mat with fabric fibers, which are preferably interwoven at right angles in a classical manner, i. are alternately arranged at the top and bottom crossing each other. At the intersections, the tissue fibers touch, so that at the intersections there is always an electrical contact between the two intersecting tissue fibers.
Wenn ein Tastdruck auf das Gewebe ausgeübt wird, wird die Widerstandshülle der Gewebefasern, insbesondere im Bereich der Kreuzungen, komprimiert. Hierdurch verringert sich zwangsläufig der elektrische Widerstand der Widerstandshülle an diesem Ort, so dass sich auch der Gesamtwiderstand an einem Kreuzungspunkt zwischen zwei sich kreuzenden Gewebefasern verringert. Durch Messung der Widerstände zwischen allen sich kreuzenden Gewebefasern kann der Tastort, die Tastkraft und die Tastfläche ermittelt werden. Das Gewebe ist verhältnismäßig flexibel und kann auch an mit kleinen Radien gewölbte Vorrichtungen fixiert werden, beispielsweise an einen Datenhandschuh,When a tactile pressure is exerted on the tissue, the resistance envelope of the tissue fibers, in particular in the region of the intersections, is compressed. This inevitably reduces the electrical resistance of the resistive sheath at this location, so that the total resistance at a crossing point between two intersecting fabric fibers is reduced. By measuring the resistances between all intersecting fabric fibers, the tactile site, the tactile force and the tactile surface can be determined. The fabric is relatively flexible and can also be used with small ones Radien arched devices are fixed, for example, to a data glove,
Selbstverständlich können auch mehr als zwei Vorzugsrichtungen von Gewebefasern miteinander verwoben werden, beispielsweise in drei Richtungen von zueinander parallelen Gewebefasern, die jeweils in einem Winkel von 60° zueinander angeordnet sind.Of course, more than two preferred directions of fabric fibers can be woven together, for example, in three directions of mutually parallel fabric fibers, which are each arranged at an angle of 60 ° to each other.
Vorzugsweise sind die Leitungen Metalldrähte oder Kohlefaserdrähte. Metalldrähte und Kohlefaserdrähte weisen eine hohe Zugfestigkeit und eine hohe plastische und elastische Biegsamkeit auf. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass das Gewebe auch auf Vorrichtungen mit kleinen Radien applizierbar ist.Preferably, the leads are metal wires or carbon fiber wires. Metal wires and carbon fiber wires have high tensile strength and high plastic and elastic flexibility. This ensures that the tissue can also be applied to devices with small radii.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung besteht die Widerstandshülle z. B. aus Silikon oder Kunststoff, Als Kunststoff kann beispielsweise Polyethylen verwendet werden. In den Kunststoff können homogen verteilt elektrisch leitende Partikel eingelagert sein, beispielsweise Graphit- oder Rußpartikel. Hierdurch kann die spezifische Leitfähigkeit der Widerstandshülle gezielt angepasst werden.According to a preferred embodiment, the resistance envelope z. As silicone or plastic, for example, polyethylene can be used as plastic. In the plastic homogeneously distributed electrically conductive particles may be incorporated, such as graphite or soot particles. As a result, the specific conductivity of the resistive envelope can be specifically adapted.
Vorzugsweise ist ein Auswertemodul vorgesehen, das ein Widerstandsmessmodu! aufweist und den elektrischen Widerstand an allen Kreuzungen einzeln ermittelt und auswertet. Hierzu sind die elektrischen Leitungen der Gewebefasern alle einzeln an das Auswertemodul angeschlossen. Das Auswertemodul ermittelt nacheinander den Widerstand zwischen allen sich kreuzenden Gewebefaser-Paaren, Hieraus lassen sich schließlich der Tastort, die Tastkraft und die Tastfläche ermitteln.Preferably, an evaluation module is provided which is a Widerstandsmessmodu! has and determines the electrical resistance at all intersections individually and evaluates. For this purpose, the electrical lines of the fabric fibers are all individually connected to the evaluation module. The evaluation module successively determines the resistance between all intersecting tissue fiber pairs. From this, finally, the tactile site, the force and the tactile surface can be determined.

In Fig. 1 ist ein taktiler Flächensensor 10 zur Feststeilung eines Tastortes dargestellt, der an viele verschiedene Anwendungen und Vorrichtungen appltzierbar ist.In Fig. 1, a tactile surface sensor 10 is shown for the fixed division of a Tastortes, which can be appltzierbar to many different applications and devices.
Der Flächensensor 10 besteht unter anderem aus einem Gewebe 12 aus sich im rechten Winkel kreuzenden und an den Kreuzungen sich berührenden Gewebefasern 21-25, 31-35.The surface sensor 10 consists inter alia of a fabric 12 of intersecting at right angles and at the intersections touching fabric fibers 21-25, 31-35.
In Fig. 2 ist eine Gewebefaser 21 exemplarisch im Querschnitt dargestellt. Jede Gewebefaser 21 weist einen Faserkern aus einer elektrischen Leitung 16 und eine die Leitung 16 vollständig umgebende elastische und resistiv leitende Widerstandshülle 18 auf. Die elektrische Leitung wird von einem Metalldraht, alternativ auch von einem Kohiefaserdraht oder einem anderen elektrisch leitendem Material, gebildet Die elektrische Leitung 16 weist einen vernachlässigbaren elektrischen Widerstand auf.In Fig. 2, a fabric fiber 21 is exemplified in cross section. Each fabric fiber 21 has a fiber core of an electrical line 16 and a line 16 completely surrounding elastic and resistive conductive resistive shell 18. The electrical line is formed by a metal wire, alternatively by a Kohiefaserdraht or other electrically conductive material, the electrical line 16 has a negligible electrical resistance.
Die Widerstandshülle 18 dagegen weist einen relativ hohen spezifischen Widerstand auf. Die Widerstandshülle 18 besteht beispielsweise aus einem elektrisch leitenden Kunststoff, In den Kunststoff können homogen verteilt elektrisch leitende Partikel eingelagert, beispielsweise Graphit, um den spezifischen Widerstand der Widerstaπdshüile 18 gezielt bestimmen zu können.The resistive envelope 18, however, has a relatively high resistivity. The resistive envelope 18 consists for example of an electrically conductive plastic, In the plastic homogeneously distributed electrically conductive particles can be stored, such as graphite to the Specific resistance of Widerstaπdshüile 18 to determine targeted.
Dem Flächensensor 10 ist ferner ein Auswertemodul 40 zugeordnet, das ein Widerstandsmessmodul 42 aufweist. Das Widerstandsmessmodu! 42 mißt nacheinander den Widerstand aller sich kreuzenden Gewebefaser-Paare. Aus den auf diese Weise ermittelten kreuzungsbezogenen Widerstandswerten kann das Auswertemodul 40 auf einen Tastort, eine Tastfiäche und eine Tastkraft zurückschließen.The surface sensor 10 is further associated with an evaluation module 40, which has a resistance measuring module 42. The resistance measuring module! 42 successively measures the resistance of all crossed fabric fiber pairs. From the crossing-related resistance values determined in this way, the evaluation module 40 can infer a tactile location, a tactile surface and a sensing force.
Die Widerstandshülle muss im Querschnitt nicht kreisförmig oder quadratisch ausgebildet sein, sondern kann auch flach, also im Querschnitt oval oder rechteckig ausgebildet. Durch die Breite der WiderstandshüNe 18 wird das Rastermaß des Gewebes definiert und sichergestellt, dass das Rastermaß auch bei häufiger Beugung des Gewebes im Wesentlichen erhalten bleibt. The resistance envelope need not be circular or square in cross-section, but may also be flat, that is oval or rectangular in cross-section. The width of the resistance sheath 18 defines the grid dimension of the tissue and ensures that the grid dimension is substantially maintained even with frequent diffraction of the tissue.
