SENSORIZED MAT STRUCTURE

摘要

A structure of sensorized mat (100) comprises a support base (1) where a plurality of sensors (10) are arranged to generate corresponding measurement signals (15) when they are subjected to a load P. The structure (100) also comprises a control unit (30) associated with the plurality of sensors (10) and configured to analyse and/or transmit the measurement signals (15) and a supply unit (40) arranged to supply the plurality of sensors (10) and the control unit (30). Each sensor (10) comprises a deformable cell (20) equipped with a support wall (22), opposite to the support base (1), and a plurality of side walls (23), which with the support wall (22) and the support base (1), where the plurality of sensors (10) is arranged, define a housing (25) in which at least one emitter (12) of a light source and at least one photosensitive detector (14) are housed, to measure a changing light intensity owing to the deformation of each cell (20) when it is subjected to the load P. This way, when the support wall (22) of each cell (20) is subjected to the load P, the side walls (23) change their shape and are compressed towards the support base (1) and expand laterally, in order to occupy a deformation space D less than the separation space S.
