Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of sensors, in particular to a resistive pressure sensor and a wearable device.


BACKGROUND

There are patents related to a fabric pressure sensor which is used for wearable devices and smart textiles. In these patents, a pressure is measured normally with the change of contact resistance between conductive warp yarns and conductive weft yarns. However, these patents have shortcomings as follows: (1) since the yarns have a loose structure, the repeatability of change of contact areas between the conductive warp yarns and the conductive weft yarns is usually poor, and it is difficult to realize linearization, so the degree of linearity of the resistance signal is low, and the repeatability is poor; (2) the conductive coating on the surface of the yarn can be subjected to a pressure and a shear force simultaneously, so the yarn cannot endure long-term cyclic loading, resulting in a limited lifetime; (3) the fabric structure is air and moisture permeable, and the moisture will seriously influence the contact resistance of the yarns, so the sensor is susceptible to moisture change.


Therefore, a pressure sensor with higher reliability and durability is needed.


SUMMARY

The main objective of the disclosure is to provide a resistive pressure sensor and a wearable device, so as to solve the problem of poor reliability of a fabric pressure sensor in the prior art.


In order to achieve the above objective, according to an aspect of the disclosure, a resistive pressure sensor is provided, the resistive pressure sensor comprises: a first conductive layer; an elastic insulating layer, which is provided on a surface of the first conductive layer, and comprises at least one through hole; and a second conductive layer, which is provided on a surface of the elastic insulating layer, wherein the surface is far away from the first conductive layer; when no pressure is applied to the resistive pressure sensor, the first conductive layer is isolated from the second conductive layer; when a pressure which is larger than a pressure threshold is applied to the resistive pressure sensor, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer contact with each other via the through hole.


Furthermore, the through hole is a circular through hole or a rectangular through hole.


Furthermore, the first conductive layer electrically connects with a first wire, and the second conductive layer electrically connects with a second wire; the first conductive layer comprises: one or more first electrically contacting parts which are isolated from each other; the projection of the first electrically contacting part on the elastic insulating layer coincides with the through hole by way of one-to-one correspondence, or the projection of the first electrically contacting part on the elastic insulating layer is in the through hole correspondingly; and one or more first electrically connecting parts which are isolated from each other; the first electrically connecting part electrically connects with the one or more first electrically contacting parts, and the first electrically connecting part is used for connecting the first electrically contacting part with the first wire; the second conductive layer comprises: one or more second electrically contacting parts which are isolated from each other and provided in one-to-one correspondence with the first electrically contacting part; the projection of the second electrically contacting part on the elastic insulating layer overlaps, at least in part, with the projection of the first electrically contacting part on the elastic insulating layer; and one or more second electrically connecting parts which are isolated from each other; the second electrically connecting parts electrically connect with the one or more second electrically contacting parts, and the second electrically connecting part is used for connecting the second electrically contacting part with the second wire.


Furthermore, raw materials of the first conductive layer and/or the second conductive layer comprise a composite material of carbon black and silicone rubber; preferably, the elastic insulating layer comprises an elastic fabric made by polyurethane.


Furthermore, the first wire and/or the second wire comprise a silver-plated conductive yarn.


Furthermore, the resistive pressure sensor further comprises: a first fabric layer; the first conductive layer is provided on a surface of the first fabric layer, and the first conductive layer is between the first fabric layer and the elastic insulating layer; and a second fabric layer; the second conductive layer is provided on a surface of the second fabric layer, and the second conductive layer is between the second fabric layer and the elastic insulating layer.

Furthermore, raw materials of the first bonding layer and/or the second bonding layer comprise thermal plastic polyurethane.


According to another aspect of the disclosure, a wearable device is provided, which comprises a resistive pressure sensor; the resistive pressure sensor is any one of the resistive pressure sensors described above.


By applying the technical solutions of the disclosure, when there is no external pressure, the two conductive layers are separated from each other with the elastic insulating layer. When a pressure is applied, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer contact with the surface via the through hole of the elastic insulating layer in the middle, thereby generating a resistance signal. The greater the pressure is, the larger the contact area between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer will be, and the smaller the resistance value will be. Because the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are not contacted only by points or lines, a surface contact is realized. Thus, the stability, repeatability and durability of the pressure sensor is improved dramatically, and the bending resistance and shear resistance is also improved greatly. Moreover, the pressure measuring range can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the elastic insulating layer, the elastic modulus of the elastic insulating layer, the size of the through hole and shape of the through hole. The sensitivity and resistance range of the pressure sensor can be adjusted by controlling the thickness, the surface appearance and the conductivity of the two conductive layers. When the external pressure is equal to the conductive pressure, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer will contact with each other, and the resistance of the pressure sensor will change from infinity to the threshold resistance value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Note that, the following detailed description is exemplary, in order to provide a further description of the disclosure. Unless specified otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used in the disclosure have the same meanings as those skilled in the art usually understand.


It should be noted that the terms here are used for describing the specific embodiments, but not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the disclosure. Unless clearly specified otherwise in the context, the singular form used here is intended to include the plural form; moreover, it should be understood that when the term “comprise” and/or “include” is used in the specification, it indicates that there are characteristics, steps, operations, components and/or a combination of them.


As mentioned in the background, the resistive pressure sensor in the prior art measures a pressure mainly by the change of contact resistance between the conductive warp yarns and the conductive weft yarns, and the stability of the pressure sensor is poor. To solve the above technical problem, a resistive pressure sensor and a wearable device are provided.


A typical embodiment of the present disclosure provides a resistive pressure sensor; as shown in FIG. 1, the resistive pressure sensor comprises a first conductive layer 2, an elastic insulating layer 3 and a second conductive layer 4. The elastic insulating layer 3 is provided on a surface of the first conductive layer 2, and the elastic insulating layer 3 comprises at least one through hole 30; the second conductive layer 4 is provided on a surface of the elastic insulating layer 3, wherein the surface is far away from the first conductive layer 2.


As shown in the first state diagram in FIG. 2, when no pressure is applied to the resistive pressure sensor, the first conductive layer 2 is isolated from the second conductive layer 4; as shown in the second state diagram and the third state diagram in FIG. 2, when a pressure which is larger than a pressure threshold is applied to the resistive pressure sensor, the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 4 contact with each other via the through hole 30, thereby conducting the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer and generating a resistance signal; the pressure threshold is a pressure making the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer contact.


The greater the pressure is, the larger a contact area between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer will be, and the smaller a resistance value will be. Because the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer do not contact with each other by points or lines, but the entire surface of the conductive layer, the resistive pressure sensor realizes a surface contact. Thus the stability, repeatability and durability of the pressure sensor is improved dramatically, and the bending and shear resistance of the sensor is improved greatly. Moreover, the pressure measuring range can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the elastic insulating layer, the elastic modulus of the elastic insulating layer, the size of the through hole and shape of the through hole. The sensitivity and resistance range (including the value of initial resistance) of the resistive pressure sensor can be adjusted by controlling the thickness, the surface appearance and the conductivity of the two conductive layers. When the external pressure is equal to the conductive pressure, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer will contact with each other, and the resistance of the sensor will change from infinity to a threshold resistance value.


To simplify the manufacture of the resistive pressure sensor, in an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, the through hole 30 is a circular through hole or a rectangular through hole.


However, the shape of the through hole is not limited to circle or rectangle, the shape of the through hole can be any shape in the prior art, for example, oval or triangle; those skilled in the art can select a proper shape of the through hole according to the actual conditions.

The area of the first electrically contacting part in the first conductive layer is set to be the same as or smaller than the area of the through hole, and the area of the second electrically contacting part in the second conductive layer is set to be the same as or smaller than the area of the through hole, as a result conductive materials can be saved, thereby reducing the cost of the resistive pressure sensor.
