Annular shear type bending electric acceleration sensor and laminated structure acceleration sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to an annular shear type flexural electric acceleration sensor and an annular shear type flexural electric acceleration sensor with a laminated structure.
Background
The piezoelectric effect is a linear coupling of stress to electrical polarization and is generally described as a phenomenon accompanied by the generation of electric charges upon application of pressure to a crystal. The traditional piezoelectric acceleration sensor is manufactured by utilizing the phenomenon that certain dielectric materials have piezoelectric effect after being stressed. Although piezoelectric materials have excellent force-electricity conversion effects, there are some disadvantages: first, in terms of the selection of dielectric materials, many dielectric materials have good mechanical and electrical coupling characteristics, such as PMNT, PZT, etc., but are very susceptible to environmental pollution due to heavy metals such as lead; secondly, the piezoceramic material must be polarized out at a high voltage before use, which increases the cost; third, it must operate in an environment below the curie temperature due to the mechanism of the piezoelectric effect; fourth, the piezoelectric effect has a time-dependent degradation phenomenon.
In addition to the coupling of stress and electric polarization, there is a relatively special phenomenon of force-electric coupling, namely the flexoelectric effect. The flexoelectric effect means that the inversion symmetry of the structure is locally destroyed due to strain gradient, so that the electric polarization phenomenon occurs on the surface of the crystal. The piezoelectric effect exists only in 20 non-centrosymmetric point group crystals, while the flexoelectric effect can exist in all 32 point group crystals. Therefore, the flexible electric material has wider selection range, and can select the material with no pollution and low cost to prepare the sensor.
At present, pressure sensors designed based on the flexoelectric effect are mainly classified into two types: the pressure sensor is a ladder-shaped structure pressure sensor based on a longitudinal flexoelectric effect and a cantilever beam structure pressure sensor based on a transverse flexoelectric effect. However, once the base material of the pressure sensor with the trapezoidal structure undergoes phase change, the accuracy of the test is seriously affected, and the pressure sensor with the cantilever beam structure has poor stability and is not high-temperature resistant. In addition, the two types of sensors are inconvenient to design as acceleration sensors with small g values because the excited electric signals are weak.

The metal film layer 1 of the inner ring and the metal film layer 1 of the outer ring of the annular sensitive block 3 are respectively connected with two output terminals 7 through lead wires 8.
The lower end of the support rod 5 is fixed on the base 4, the base 4 is provided with a shell 6 for sealing the sensor, and the device is sealed in the shell 6 to meet the application of outdoor occasions. Two output terminals 7 are fixed to the housing 6, and the terminals are exposed. The shell 6 is made of a polymer organic material, the base 4 is made of alloy steel, and the support rod 5 is a round rod of an alloy steel structure and can be fixed on the base 4 through a threaded structure. The output terminal 7 is two copper bars with the diameter of 2mm and the length of 10mm, and the output of the electric signals of the sensor is realized. The lead 8, the metal film layer electrode and the external output terminal 7 can be connected by wire bonding.
Fig. 3 and 4 show a preferred annular shear type flexural electric acceleration sensor of a laminated structure of the present invention, which is different from fig. 1 and 2 in that n annular sensing blocks 3 and n annular mass blocks 2 are arranged in a laminated manner from the center to the outside, wherein the inner ring of the innermost annular sensing block 3 is arranged at the upper end of the support rod 5; the outermost layer is an annular mass block 2. The metal film layers 1 of the inner circles of the n annular sensitive blocks 3, namely the output electrodes of the flexible dielectric materials are connected in series through leads 8 and then are connected to one output terminal 7, and the metal film layers 1 of the outer circles of the n annular sensitive blocks 3, namely the output electrodes of the flexible dielectric materials are connected in series through leads 8 and then are connected to the other output terminal 7.

The sensor structure adopting the multilayer centrosymmetric annular stacking enables charge signals generated by the plurality of annular sensitive blocks under the action of the plurality of mass blocks to be superposed, signal amplitude is increased, sensor sensitivity is improved, and accurate measurement of mechanical parameters is easy to realize.
The working mechanism of the sensor was analyzed as follows:
when the sample vibrates in a direction parallel to the axial direction, the annular sensitive block 3 is subjected to shear stress by the axial additional force generated by the mass block 2 sleeved on the support rod, so that the annular sensitive block 3 generates a strain gradient and generates a larger strain gradient along the thickness direction. Since the ring-shaped sensitive block 3 is a non-polarized barium strontium titanate circular ring with thickness of 5mm and height of 1mm, the force analysis is shown in fig. 5 (fig. 5 only corresponds to the single-layer structure of fig. 1 and fig. 2). Due to the symmetry of the circular ring and the relationship between the thickness and the height, the generated strain distribution can be solved by utilizing a cantilever beam theory. For a rectangular section beam, the polar moment of inertia I is
Wherein the width of the beam is taken as the unit length and h is the thickness of the beam. Let the total length of the beam be l. And the strain (epsilon) of the cantilever beam is theoretically analyzed according to the related theory of the elastic mechanics0) The distribution along the thickness (x) and length (z) directions is
Where F is the force applied by the free end of the cantilever beam and E is the modulus of elasticity of the material.
The expression of the strain gradient generated in the thickness direction is
Of beams l0Point-to-point productionThe resultant strain gradient is expressed as
And the total strain gradient for the ring-shaped flexoelectric material of the laminated structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is expressed as
Wherein n is the number of layers of the annular flexoelectric material.
The inertial force of the mass block is expressed as
F=ma
Where m is the mass of the annular mass and a is the required acceleration.
Therefore, the cantilever beam generates flexoelectric effect along the thickness direction and generates polarization charge, and the expression is
Where μ is the flexoelectric coefficient, ε is the elastic strain of the material, x is the direction of the gradient,
is the strain gradient along the thickness, P is the polarization due to the strain gradient caused by the flexoelectric effect, Q is the total output charge of the sensor, and a is the surface area of the flexoelectric dielectric material.
By the derivation of the formula, the acceleration expression of the laminated structure sensor is obtained as
The above formula can show that, as long as the output charge value is measured, the acceleration can be accurately measured through the linear relation between the strain gradient generated by the flexoelectric dielectric material along the axial direction under the action of the shear stress generated by the annular mass block and the charge generated based on the flexoelectric effect, so that the vibration can be measured. The annular shear-shaped structure is convenient to design and easy to process, and the combination of the three layers of annular flexible electric materials increases the amplitude of a generated charge signal, so that the accurate measurement is easy. Further research results and verification tests show that the flexoelectric effect has size-related characteristics, the strain gradient is increased along with the reduction of the structure size, and the small-size high-sensitivity flexoelectric micro device is more accurate in measurement and is more suitable for measuring high-sensitivity mechanical parameters.
