Transducer A transducer (English name: transducer / sensor) is a detection device, Can feel the information that is measured and can transform the sensed information into electrical signals or other required forms of information output in a certain manner to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control. The characteristics of sensors include: miniaturization, digitalization, intelligentization, multifunctionality, systematization, and networkization. It is the first step in achieving automatic detection and automatic control. Sensors exist and develop, allowing objects to have sensors such as touch, taste and smell, and slowly become alive. According to their basic perception functions, they are usually divided into ten categories such as heat sensitive elements, light sensitive elements and air sensitive elements. They are force sensitive elements; magnetic sensitive elements: wet sensitive elements as well as sound sensitive elements or radiation sensitive elements such as color sensitive elementsand taste sensitive elements Main role In order to obtain information from the outside world, people must resort to sensory organs. People's own sensory organs alone are not enough to study natural phenomena and laws and their functions in productive activities. To adapt to this situation, sensors are needed. Therefore, it can be said that the sensor is the extension of the human five senses, also known as the electrical five senses. With the advent of a new technological revolution, the world began to enter the information age. In the process of utilizing information, the first solution to be solved is to obtain accurate and reliable information, and sensors are the main means and means of obtaining information in the field of nature and production. In modern industrial production, especially in the process of automated production, various sensors are used to monitor and control various parameters in the production process, so that the equipment works in a normal or optimal state, and the product achieves the best quality. Therefore, it can be said that without a large number of good sensors, modern production has lost its foundation. In basic scientific research, sensors have a more prominent position. The development of modern science and technology has entered many new fields: for example, the vast universe at the macro level is to be observed for thousands of light years, the world of particles as small as fm, the evolution of celestial bodies as long as hundreds of thousands, and the instantaneous reactions as short as s. In addition, various extreme technological research has emerged that plays an important role in deepening the understanding of matter and exploring new energy and new materials, such as ultra-high temperature, ultra-low temperature, ultra high pressure, ultra-high vacuum, ultra-strong magnetic field, and ultra-weak magnetic field. Obviously, it is impossible to obtain a large amount of information that the human senses cannot directly obtain without appropriate sensors. Obstacles to many basic scientific research are, first of all, difficulties in obtaining object information, and the emergence of new mechanisms and highly sensitive detection sensors often leads to breakthroughs in this field. The development of some sensors is often a pioneer in the development of some fringe disciplines. Sensors have already penetrated into fields as diverse as industrial production, cosmic exploration, marine detection, environmental protection, resource investigation, medical diagnosis, bioengineering, and even cultural preservation. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every modern project, from the vastness of space to vast oceans to complex engineering systems, is dependent on a variety of sensors. It can be seen that the important role of sensor technology in developing the economy and promoting social progress is very obvious. Countries around the world attach great importance to developments in this area. It is believed that in the near future, sensor technology will take a leap to a new level commensurate with its importance. Main characteristics Sensor features include: miniaturization, digitalization, intelligentization, multifunctional, systematic and networked, which not only promotes the transformation and renewal of traditional industries, but also may establish new industries, thus becoming a new economic growth point in the 21st century. Miniaturization is based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, which has been successfully applied to silicon devices to make silicon pressure sensors. The composition of the sensor is generally composed of four parts: sensitive elements, conversion elements, transition circuit and auxiliary power supply. The sensitive element feels the measured directly and outputs a signal of a physical quantity that has a determined relationship with the measured. The conversion element converts the physical quantity signal output by the sensitive element into an electrical signal; The switching circuit is responsible for amplifying and modulating the electrical signal output from the switching element; Switching components and switching circuits generally also need auxiliary power supply. The functions of sensors are often compared to the functions of the five sensory organs of humans: photosensitive sensors - vision, acoustic sensors a - hearing. Gas sensor - smell sensor - taste sensor - pressure sensor - temperature sensor - touch sensor - Classification of sensitive components: Physical class, based on physical effects such as force, heat, light, electricity, magnetism and sound. Chemical class, based on the principles of chemical reactions. Biological class, based on molecular recognition functions such as enzymes, antibodies, and hormones. Generally, according to their basic perception functions, they can be divided into ten categories such as thermally sensitive elements, lightly sensitive components, air sensitive elements and force sensitive elements as well as magneticly sensitive parts, wet sensitive components and sound sensitive components as well as radiologically sensitive devices and color sensitive components.
