  • Patent number: 11938680
    Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and discloses a flexible piezoelectric sensor based on 4D printing and a preparation method thereof. The sensor includes a magnetic part and a conductive part, wherein: the conductive part includes two substrates disposed opposite to each other and a spiral structure disposed between the two substrates. Both the two substrates and the spiral structure are made of conductive metal materials. The magnetic part has a flexible porous structure and is arranged between the two substrates to generate a magnetic field. When the substrate is subjected to external pressure, the spiral structure and the magnetic part are compressed simultaneously, the magnetic flux passing through the spiral structure changes, and the voltage of the two substrates changes, by measuring the voltage change of the two substrates to reflect the change of external pressure, the pressure measuring process is achieved.
