Sensor for the tactile measurement of forces and moments
The invention relates to a sensor for the tactile measurement of forces and / or moments and / or deformations, comprising a sensing element, parallel spring assemblies which are formed from a few springs of silicon, which are connected via spacers, and with piezo-resistive resistors , which are connected in a full Wheatstone bridge.
Force moment sensors are known in the state of the art, which consist of metallic deformation bodies with metal stretch strips glued thereto. Such a sensor is described, for example, in Kempe: Sensortechnik für Industrieroboter der 2. und 3. Generation, msr 26 (1983), pp. 12-18.
Furthermore, devices for the measurement of three forces are known. Metallic deformation bodies with metal stretch strips glued thereto are also used in these devices.
Also with a device for the three-dimensional force measurement described in DE 43 09 082 A1, metallic deformation bodies with strain gauges glued thereto are used.
A further device for the measurement of forces and torques is described in DD 260 851 A3. In this publication, metallic deformation bodies are combined in such a way that three moments and three forces can be measured. Apparently metallic strain gauges are glued for this at suitable points. This is a complicated mechanical assembly with all the drawbacks which metallic deformation bodies have with metallic strain gauges glued on.
The strain gauges glued to metallic bodies have the disadvantages that the K-factors of the strain gauges are very small and therefore the measurement sensitivity is low and that the gluing points are unstable.
The publication: S. Bütefisch et al: Mikrotaster für die Anwendung in der taktilen Wegmesstechnik, in: tm - Technisches Messen 05/2003, pp. 238-243, describes a piezo-resistive microtaster, with piezo-resistive resistances on a silicon membrane up to bridges are connected. The diaphragm is connected with a touch pen for touching the measurement objects.
Although with the piezo-resistive resistors integrated in the silicon, enormous progress is achieved in comparison with strain gauges glued on it, which is characterized by very high K-factors and therefore high measuring sensitivity, the following drawbacks still exist: 1. The rigidity in the measuring directions are different.
2. Significant measurement errors occur when the stylus is deformed.
3. The attachment of the touch probe and the influence of the length of the touch probe cause measurement errors.
DE 10 2008 037 926 B3 describes a device for the tactile measurement of three-dimensional forces, which overcomes the disadvantages of the aforementioned devices. In this device, directly above the sensing element, two 90 'displaced parallel spring assemblies of silicon with integrated piezo-resistive resistors, which are always connected in a full Wheatstone bridge, are present. With this, forces and deformations in the x and y directions can be measured. At the end of the second parallel spring assembly of silicon, an Si probe can be provided, whose deflection, however, has no influence on the measurement of the x and y forces. For the measurement of the forces and deformations in the z direction, a parallel spring assembly of silicon, again with integrated piezo-resistive resistors, is arranged transversely to the stylus.
The essential advantages of this device are: high K factors the parallel springs of silicon can be dimensioned such that the stiffnesses in the x, y and z directions are equal.
the length of the stylus has no influence.
A lack of the state of the art of measuring transducers of silicon with integrated piezo-resistive resistors consists in that only forces can be measured and not even more moments.
The object of the invention is therefore to create a sensor which makes it possible to measure three forces and three moments as well as the measurement of distortions.
According to the invention, the object is solved by a sensor which has the features indicated in claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
The sensor according to the invention for the tactile measurement of three forces and three moments as well as for the measurement of deformations comprises a sensor element and parallel spring assemblies of silicon with piezo-resistive resistors, which are connected in a full Wheatstone bridge. Above the sensing element are two silicon spring assemblies that are offset by 90 ° relative to each other and each have four piezo-resistive resistors. The parallel spring assemblies of silicon are connected by means of silicon spacers and a holder element of silicon. Perpendicular to this silicon parallel spring assembly, a further four silicon bead springs with piezo-resistive resistors are attached. To this end, four additional silicon parallel springs with piezo-resistive resistors are arranged perpendicularly above these four silicon parallel springs. All silicon parallel springs are connected to additional silicon holding elements. The four additional silicon parallel springs are attached at their ends facing the center to a silicon holding element which is simultaneously connected to the frame.
The spacers and the holder elements can also consist of invar or glass instead of silicon.
The sensor makes it possible to measure three forces and three moments with high precision. The silicon parallel springs can be dimensioned in a simple manner such that both the spring stiffnesses of the components for the measurement of the three forces perpendicular to each other and the moments of resistance of the components for the measurement of the three perpendicular to each other moments are equal.
A further advantage of the invention is that the piezo-resistive resistors have a K-factor (sensitivity factor) of about 80 and are integrated into the silicon by doping. Therefore, the disadvantages that occur with strain gauges glued onto it are eliminated, which moreover have only a K-factor of about 2.
A further advantage of the sensor is that the length of the probe has no influence on the deflection of the silicon parallel spring assemblies of silicon.
