TORSION AND/OR TENSION AND/OR PRESSURE TEXTILE SENSOR

摘要

The invention relates to a torsion and/or tension and/or pressure textile sensor. The textile sensor is a resistive-type sensor consisting of: at least one base layer of fabric (1) comprising any composition and/or mixture and produced using any technique; optionally a surface treatment (2) in order to render the surface of the fabric (1) more uniform; a single conductive layer (3) having tracks distributed geometrically such as to define areas (31) sensitive to stresses from conductive fluids and an encapsulation and protection layer (4) on the conductive layer (3); optionally an upper fabric layer (5); and at least one signal converter (7) which is connected to the tracks, such that when one of the above-mentioned areas (31) is subjected to pressure, tension or torsion a large variation in the resistance of said track is produced, which can be detected by the converter (7). The sensor optionally includes an imprint (6) defining the aforementioned areas (31) on the outer face of either of the fabric layers (1, 5).
