摘要

利用能量收集技术为可穿戴设备供电是提高其可靠性的可行方法。然而,将电子设备与织物集成在一起带来了挑战,需要独特的设计解决方案。形成稳定的物理连接,从电源到设备负载和中间的电源转换器,是设计的一个关键方面。此外,连接不能干扰用户活动或影响可穿戴设备的功能。本研究调查的主要连接是a)柔性PCB连接到织物和b)织物上导电迹线的构造。提出并测试了几种建立这些连接的方法,以确定最有效的方法。结果表明,机器缝制的导电线具有最小的电阻,是最具弹性的方法,而按钮在可拆卸性方面表现第二好。对于织物上的导电线,用导电带增强的couching方法在电阻率和功率损耗方面表现出最佳性能。

Flexible PCB Connection Methods for Wearable Energy Harvesting Applications
Powering wearables using energy-harvesting technologies is a viable approach to increase their reliability. However, integrating electronics with fabric presents challenges requiring unique design solutions. Forming stable physical connections, from the power source to the device load and the power converter in between, is a crucial aspect of the design. Further, the connections must not interfere with user activity or affect the wearable's functionality. The primary connections investigated in this study are a) attachment of a flexible PCB to fabric and b) construction of on-fabric conductive traces. Several methods for establishing these connections are proposed and tested to identify the most efficient methods. The results indicate machine-sewn conductive thread to have the least resistance and be the most resilient method, whereas buttons performed the second best while enabling detachability. For on-fabric conductive traces, a couching method reinforced with a conductive ribbon showed the best performance regarding resistivity and power loss.
