The cavity is provided with two piezoelectric ceramic components which are symmetrically arranged. The piezoelectric ceramic 9 is close to the first housing 3, and ceramic insulating sheets 8 are arranged between the connecting parts of the piezoelectric ceramic 9 and the first housing 3 and the connecting parts of the piezoelectric ceramic 9 and the second housing 4. The piezoelectric ceramics 9 and the insulating sheet 8 are both annular and have through holes through which the fasteners 2 pass, and the fasteners 2 of this embodiment are used not only for assembly of the housing but also for fixation of the piezoelectric ceramics 8 and the insulating sheet 9 with the housing.

To verify the function of the present invention, the sensor of the present invention was tested using a 500mg numeric weight in an M1 weight. During testing, the sensor is vertically arranged on the vibration isolation table, and a tray with the outer diameter larger than the holes in the sensor is arranged at the top end of the sensor so as to place weights. The sensor is powered by a positive point atomic digital control power supply DP100, and the power supply voltage is 5V. Data acquisition was performed using a NIUSB-6210 type acquisition card. In fig. 6, weights are placed on the tray at about 4.5s, and the sensor data are shown in the graph, and Signal1 and Signal2 are signals output by two charge amplifiers, respectively, and their polarities are opposite. Notably, the signal contained a drift error of about-50 mV, and further a significant addition of periodic interference noise (three signal humps shown in the figure, originating from electromagnetic coupling interference) resulted in almost coverage of the signal at 4.5 s. Fig. 7 shows the difference between the two signals, the signal noise and drift error is significantly reduced, and the contact signal at 4.5s is enhanced. Experiments prove that the piezoelectric ceramic-based medium-sized contact detection sensor can effectively sense contact force as low as 4.9mN by taking the gravity acceleration of 9.8mm/s 2.
