The past and present of flexible pressure sensing technology
- from the electrical sensor technology, the sensor from the droplet to the artificial skin
Through the response of artificial skin to external stimuli, flexible tactile sensing technology has developed rapidly in the past ten years. Among them, flexible pressure sensing, as the most important part of tactile sensing, has been extensively studied and has been applied in the fields of industry, medical and consumer electronics. Traditionally, flexible pressure sensing is mainly based on two mechanisms, optical and electrical. The latter has attracted more attention due to its advantages of higher device flexibility, easy integration and simple structure. From electricity (Iontronic) is a recent development of a new sensing mechanism, which changes by measuring the ion under pressure - ultracapacitor size of the electronic value of the electric double layer, thereby recording the pressure values. Compared with other sensing mechanisms such as piezoresistance, pressure capacitance, piezoelectricity, and triboelectricity, ionization sensing is considered to have extremely high pressure response sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, anti-interference, pressure resolution, etc., in addition to Such as unique high transparency, wide dynamic and static force response and other characteristics .

The future is here-Ion-electric tactile sensing technology leads product and application innovation
In summary, due to its own technical principles, ionized sensing has technical advantages that other tactile and pressure sensing technologies cannot match. The flexible characteristics of the ionization sensor technology can subvert the rigid physical form of traditional information devices and systems, and realize the efficient integration of information with people, objects, and the environment. Realize the flexibility of information acquisition, processing, transmission, display and energy, and better realize the interconnection of everything. Ionization sensing technology has the characteristics of true flexibility, ultra-thin, high light transmission, high signal-to-noise ratio, and high environmental immunity. Due to its unique and natural technical characteristics, the principle of ionization sensing has quickly taken a place in the field of flexible pressure sensing, and has led product innovation in application fields such as environmental interaction, health monitoring, and motion recognition. For example, from a flexible electrically mass sensor can be attached to the whole flexible fabric having ultra-low power, to support a variety of wearing styles (shoes, wrist, socks), and therefore can be used for pulse wave, heart rate, respiration and blood pressure continuously Trends Therefore, it can be used for 7/24 physical sign monitoring of the human body; wearable gloves based on ionization sensing fabric can accurately obtain the pressure distribution of the grasping action; the flexible sensor integrated into the tongue can directly measure the number of steps and steps Frequency and other exercise data, pulse wave, respiratory wave and other physiological data, and calculate blood pressure, cardiovascular health, etc. through algorithms; safety helmets equipped with flexible sensors can not only detect the actual wearing of the helmet, but also monitor the wearer’s Vital signs, especially in special industries such as official business or mines, ensure the safe operation of workers; multi-point sensor arrays based on skin ion functional materials can measure muscle movements brought about by different gestures to complete sign language recognition.

Always on the road-Ion-electric sensing technology empowers tactile sensing technology to help the industry develop rapidly
With various industries gradually increased demand for multi-dimensional perception, related to the human sense of touch to be overcome flexible / noise / sensitivity encounter a problem, from the electrical sensing technology truly enabling touch sensing technology, promote industry, health, consumer costs Breakthrough and rapid development in electronics and other industries.
Take the medical and health industries as an example, touch is a precise way to accurately know the vital signs of the human body. The disconnected flexible sensor greatly improves the pulse diagnosis accuracy of the pulse diagnosis instrument, allowing the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine to benefit the common people. From electrical flexible sensor can be energized to healthy equipment, such as gait and plantar pressure wisdom trails, pedestrian detection distribution, learn suspected of having a neurodegenerative disease or recovery from illness, etc., from the health insurance industry Health evaluation and rehabilitation evaluation are more objective. The current medical robots or medical devices do not have the ability of tactile detection and tactile feedback, which puts forward higher requirements for the detection of many diseases and the manipulation of medical devices. Ion-electric tactile sensor arrays can give various medical devices the power of tactile perception, so that they can more accurately analyze the tissues and lesions in the human body and achieve better collaboration with doctors, which has a wide range of clinical application scenarios.
Disconnected flexible sensor can make any material surface energized to be tactile controllable, and its array-type sensor layout can provide a more natural input method, so it can be widely used in simple weighing, gesture input and other programs, so that people and objects The interface between objects and objects has a sense of touch.
Taking the production and manufacturing industries as examples, ensuring accurate pressure values is crucial. Because the accurate pressure value can not only increase the life of the equipment, but also increase the production yield and improve the safety of the production line. Therefore , obtaining pressure value and pressure distribution data has become a key factor in optimizing and improving industrial efficiency. However, traditional pressure-sensitive paper is not only expensive, but can only give qualitative results, that is, the pressure distribution is uniform or uneven. A series of problems such as the inability to carry out quantitative analysis, the inability to rely on imports, independent intellectual property rights, and the inability to guarantee full inspection due to high prices, have resulted in traditional pressure detection methods that cannot meet the requirements of the rapid development of China's production and manufacturing industries. The pressure distribution measurement system based on ionization sensor technology can not only fully understand the size and distribution of the force, but also record the dynamic trajectory of the force change in real time. Therefore, the application of ionization technology can realize real-time monitoring of industrial manufacturing processes, reduce quality inspection costs, improve quality inspection coverage and efficiency, improve manufacturing, increase industrial yield, and improve production line operation safety. Ionization technology can also be integrated into industrial equipment such as manufacturing, empowering industrial equipment to become intelligent.
In terms of technology, high signal-to-noise ratio ionization sensor signal processing, ionization sensor temperature and humidity stability research, research and development of implantable ionization sensor devices, etc. will also be the future power point of ionization sensor technology. . The continuous improvement and improvement of technology will enhance the competitiveness of the ionization technology itself, ultimately benefiting and assisting industry development and product innovation.
