Description
[0001] 本發明係關於用於壓電元件之構造體、以導電層被覆使用壓電性纖維之編織的編織狀壓電元件、使用該編織狀壓電元件之布帛狀壓電元件及使用該些之裝置。[0001] The present invention relates to a structure for a piezoelectric element, a braided piezoelectric element in which a piezoelectric fiber is coated with a conductive layer, a piezoelectric element using the braided piezoelectric element, and the like Some devices.
[0002] 以往,揭示多數與使用壓電性物質之元件有關的技術。例如,在專利文獻1中,針對在導電纖維被覆壓電性高分子的元件,揭示有相對於摩擦其電性應答優良之內容。再者,在非專利文獻1中,針對壓電性高分子捲繞成線圈狀之元件,揭示有線圈軸方向之伸縮及線圈之繞軸的扭轉變形所致的電性應答例。再者,在專利文獻2,揭示有由壓電性高分子所構成之纖維狀物,記載著該纖維狀物在作用與纖維軸平行或直角之力(運動)之情況下,產生壓電效果大之情形。 專利文獻3之壓電片可以藉由相對於壓電片之扭轉變形(應力),輸出電訊號。但是,原本就因片狀而缺少柔軟性,不可能像纖維或布般可以自由地彎曲的使用方式。 [0003] 但是,上述先前技術文獻中,除相對於扭轉運動有效地產生壓電訊號之外,針對相對於扭轉運動以外之運動不產生壓電訊號的具體構成並無揭示。再者,即使針對為了提高壓電訊號之利用效率,使在構造體之中心軸和外側產生互相逆極性之電荷(即是,逆編碼之電荷)的具體構成也無揭示。因此,可以作為利用於感測器或吸附體之壓電元件的性能也不充分。 [0004] 再者,近年來,所謂的穿戴式感測器受到注目,開始出現眼鏡型或手錶這樣形狀的商品。但是,該些裝置具有穿戴這樣的感覺,以最終可穿戴的布狀,即是衣類般之形狀者為佳。作為如此之感測器,所知的有使用壓電性纖維之壓電效果的壓電元件。例如,專利文獻1中揭示有包含2根導電性纖維及1根壓電性纖維,該些互相具有接點,且包含被配置在略相同平面上之壓電單位的壓電元件。再者,在專利文獻2中,揭示有一種壓電材,其特徵在於,其係由壓電高分子所構成之纖維狀物,或是成形物,且為了藉由被作用於該些軸方向之張力使產生壓電性,構成對與如此之張力的作用方向不同的方向,施加扭轉。 [0005] 另外,近年來,大幅度增加採用所謂觸控面板方式之輸入裝置,即是觸控式輸入裝置。不僅銀行ATM或車站之售票機,在智慧型手機、行動電話機、攜帶遊戲機、攜帶音樂播放器等中,結合薄型顯示器技術之發展,採用觸控面板方式作為輸入介面之機器大幅度地增加。作為實現如此之觸控方式的手段,所知的有使用壓電片或壓電性纖維之方式。例如,專利文獻4中揭示有使用具有朝向特定方向的延伸軸之L型聚乳酸所構成之壓電片的觸控面板。 [0006] 在該些穿戴式感測器或觸控面板方式之感測器中,即使對由於被施加至壓電材料之小變形而在壓電材料內產生小的應力,亦取出大的電訊號為佳。例如,以即使以藉由手指之彎曲伸長或手指等擦拭表面之行為,在壓電材料產生比較小的應力,亦穩定地取出大的電訊號為佳。 [0007] 專利文獻1之壓電性纖維雖然係能夠適用於各種用途之優良素材,但談不上一定可以對以比較小之變形產生的應力輸出大的電訊號,針對取得大的電訊號的技術也無明確表示。再者,專利文獻1所載之壓電元件因容易受到成為訊號線之導電性纖維裸露出,故容易受到雜訊之影響,再者,容易受到外部應力所致之材料的劣化或損傷。並且,針對可以簡便地對其他布帛等之基材設置壓電元件的構成,並無揭示,在專利文獻1所記載之壓電元件中,對於實用化依然有改善之空間。 [0008] 專利文獻2之壓電性纖維係藉由以特殊製造方法事先使壓電性纖維扭轉,而可以對朝壓電性纖維的拉伸或壓縮,輸出電訊號。但是,在專利文獻2中,無揭示相對於彎曲或延伸壓電性纖維的屈曲,或擦拭壓電性纖維之表面之行為所致的剪斷應力,產生充分之電訊號的技術。因此,在使用如此之壓電性纖維之情況下,僅以擦拭表面之比較小的變形所產生的應力,難以取出充分的電訊號。 [0009] 專利文獻4之壓電片可以藉由相對於壓電片之變形(應力),輸出電訊號。但是,原本就因片狀而缺少柔軟性,不可能像布般可以自由地彎曲的使用方式。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] [0010] [專利文獻1]國際公開第2014/058077號 [專利文獻2]日本特開2000-144545號公報 [專利文獻3]日本特開2014-240842號公報 [專利文獻4]日本特開2011-253517號公報 [非專利文獻] [0011] [非專利文獻1]Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 51卷09LD16頁[0002] Conventionally, many techniques related to elements using piezoelectric substances have been disclosed. For example, in Patent Document 1, it is disclosed that an element having a piezoelectric polymer coated with a conductive fiber is excellent in electrical response with respect to friction. Further, in Non-Patent Document 1, an element in which a piezoelectric polymer is wound into a coil shape is disclosed as an electrical response example in which the expansion and contraction of the coil axis direction and the torsion deformation of the coil are performed. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a fibrous material composed of a piezoelectric polymer, and describes that the fibrous material produces a piezoelectric effect in a force (motion) acting parallel or at right angles to the fiber axis. Big situation. The piezoelectric sheet of Patent Document 3 can output an electric signal by torsional deformation (stress) with respect to the piezoelectric sheet. However, there is a lack of flexibility due to the sheet shape, and it is impossible to use a fiber or a cloth to bend freely. [0003] However, in the above prior art document, in addition to the piezoelectric signal generated effectively with respect to the torsional motion, the specific configuration for generating no piezoelectric signal with respect to the motion other than the torsional motion is not disclosed. Further, even in order to improve the utilization efficiency of the piezoelectric signal, a specific configuration in which charges of opposite polarities (that is, charges of inverse encoding) are generated on the central axis and the outer side of the structure is not disclosed. Therefore, the performance of the piezoelectric element which can be used as a sensor or a absorbing body is also insufficient. [0004] Furthermore, in recent years, so-called wearable sensors have attracted attention, and products such as glasses or watches have begun to appear. However, these devices have the feeling of being worn, preferably in the form of a cloth that is finally wearable, that is, a garment-like shape. As such a sensor, a piezoelectric element using a piezoelectric effect of a piezoelectric fiber is known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a piezoelectric element including two conductive fibers and one piezoelectric fiber, which have contacts with each other and which are arranged in piezoelectric units on slightly the same plane. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a piezoelectric material characterized in that it is a fibrous material composed of a piezoelectric polymer or a molded article, and is applied to the axial directions by being applied thereto. The tension causes piezoelectricity to be formed, and a twist is applied in a direction different from the direction in which the tension acts. [0005] In addition, in recent years, an input device using a so-called touch panel method, that is, a touch input device, has been greatly increased. Not only bank ATMs or station ticket machines, but also in the development of thin display technology in smart phones, mobile phones, mobile game consoles, portable music players, etc., the use of the touch panel method as an input interface has greatly increased. As means for realizing such a touch method, there is known a method of using a piezoelectric sheet or a piezoelectric fiber. For example, Patent Document 4 discloses a touch panel using a piezoelectric sheet composed of L-type polylactic acid having an extending axis oriented in a specific direction. [0006] In the wearable sensor or touch panel type sensor, even if a small stress is generated in the piezoelectric material due to small deformation applied to the piezoelectric material, a large telecommunications is taken out. The number is good. For example, it is preferable to stably take out a large electric signal even if a relatively small stress is generated in the piezoelectric material even if the surface is wiped by bending of a finger or by a finger or the like. [0007] Although the piezoelectric fiber of Patent Document 1 can be applied to an excellent material for various uses, it is not always possible to output a large electric signal to a stress generated by a relatively small deformation, and to obtain a large electric signal. The technology is also not clearly stated. Further, since the piezoelectric element disclosed in Patent Document 1 is easily exposed by the conductive fibers serving as signal lines, it is susceptible to noise, and is further susceptible to deterioration or damage of materials due to external stress. In addition, the piezoelectric element described in Patent Document 1 has a space for improvement in practical use, and the piezoelectric element described in Patent Document 1 is not disclosed. In the piezoelectric fiber of Patent Document 2, the piezoelectric fiber is twisted in advance by a special manufacturing method, and the piezoelectric fiber can be stretched or compressed to output an electric signal. However, in Patent Document 2, there is no technique for producing a sufficient electrical signal with respect to the buckling of the bent or extended piezoelectric fiber or the shear stress caused by the action of wiping the surface of the piezoelectric fiber. Therefore, in the case of using such a piezoelectric fiber, it is difficult to take out a sufficient electric signal only by the stress generated by the relatively small deformation of the wiping surface. [0009] The piezoelectric sheet of Patent Document 4 can output an electric signal by deformation (stress) with respect to the piezoelectric sheet. However, there is a lack of softness due to the sheet shape, and it is impossible to use a cloth that can be bent freely.

[0023] 以下,針對第1發明予以詳細說明。 (圓筒形或圓柱形之壓電性構造體) 本發明之構造體(壓電性構造體)包含配向的壓電性高分子,配向的壓電性高分子被配置成圓筒形或圓柱形。圖1A為表示與實施型態有關之圓筒形之壓電性構造體1-1之示意圖,圖1B為表示與實施型態有關之圓柱形之壓電性構造體1-2的示意圖。配置有壓電性高分子之圓筒形或圓柱形之底面之外緣及內緣之形狀以正圓為最佳,即使為橢圓形亦可,即使為扁平的圓形亦可。 [0024] (壓電性高分子) 本發明之壓電性構造體所含的壓電性高分子係單軸配向的高分子之成型體,包含具有配向軸設為3軸之時的壓電常數d14之絕對值為0.1pC/N以上1000Pc/N以下之值的結晶性高分子作為主成分。在本發明中,「包含…作為主成分」係指佔構成成分之50質量%以上。再者,在本發明中,結晶性高分子係由1質量%以上之結晶部,和結晶部以外之非晶部所構成之高分子,結晶性高分子之質量係合計結晶部和非晶部的質量。 作為可以適合當作本實施型態之壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子使用的具有將配向軸設為3軸之時之壓電常數d14之絕對值為0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值的結晶性高分子,例如「Piezoelectricity of biopolymers」(深田榮一,Biorheology, Vol.3, No.6, pp.593)所示般,可舉出纖維素、膠原蛋白、角蛋白、纖維蛋白、聚-L-丙胺酸、聚-γ-甲基-L-麩胺酸、聚-γ-苄基-L-麩胺酸、聚-L-乳酸。再者,作為該些高分子之光學異性體之聚-D-丙胺酸、聚-γ-甲基-D-麩胺酸、聚-γ-苄基-D-麩胺酸、聚-D-乳酸雖然d14之編碼也相反,但是作為d14之絕對值,被推測為採用同等之值。d14之值雖然依成型條件或純度及測量環境不同而表示不同的值,但是為了達成本發明之目的,測量實際使用之壓電性高分子中之結晶性高分子之結晶化度及結晶配向度,使用該結晶性高分子作成具有與此同等之結晶化度及結晶配向度之單軸延伸薄膜,若其薄膜之d14之絕對值在實際使用之溫度中顯示0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值時即可,作為本實施型態之壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子,並不限定於上述舉出的特定結晶性高分子。薄膜樣本之d14之測量可以採用眾知的各種方法,但是例如將在薄膜樣本之兩面蒸鍍金屬使成為電極的樣本,切割成在從延伸方向傾斜45度之方向具有4邊的長方形,藉由測量於在其長邊方向施加拉伸負載之時,在兩面之電極產生的電荷,可以測量出d14之值。 [0025] 在本實施型態中,尤其適合使用聚-L-乳酸及聚-D-乳酸。聚-L-乳酸及聚-D-乳酸係例如在熔融製膜後藉由單軸延伸而容易配向結晶化,表示超過10pC/N之壓電性,作為d14之絕對值。另外,雖然作為代表性的壓電性高分子之聚氟化亞乙烯成形品之分極處理物具有高的d33之壓電常數,但是作為d14之絕對值非常低,無法當作本發明之結晶性高分子使用。 [0026] 再者,雖然壓電性高分子即使使用無表示之其他壓電性的聚合物的合金使用亦可,但是若當作以聚乳酸為主之壓電性高分子使用時,則以合金之全質量為基準至少含有60質量%以上的聚乳酸為佳,更佳為70質量%以上,最佳為90質量%以上。 [0027] 作為設為合金之情況下的聚乳酸以外之聚合物,雖然舉出聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二酯共聚物、聚甲基丙烯酸酯作為適當之例,但是並不限定於該些。 [0028] (壓電性高分子之配向角度) 在將本發明之壓電性高分子配置成圓筒形或圓柱形之構造體中,壓電性高分子對配置有壓電性高分子之圓筒形或圓柱形之中心軸(以下,僅記載成「中心軸」)之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下。於滿足該條件之時,藉由對壓電性構造體賦予以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形(扭轉應力),可以效率佳地利用與壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子之壓電常數d14對應的壓電效果,可以在壓電性構造體之中心軸側和外側有效地產生逆極性之電荷。另外,在壓電性高分子相對於中心軸之方向的配向角度θ超過40°未滿50°之情況下,即使對壓電性構造體施加以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形(扭轉應力),亦無法在壓電性構造體之中心軸側和外側有效率地產生逆極性的電荷,故無法有效率地取出其電荷做為訊號或能量。從如此之觀點來看,相對於中心軸之方向的壓電性高分子之配向角度θ以0°以上35°以下或55°以上90°以下為佳,以0°以上30°以下或60°以上90°以下為較佳,以0°以上25°以下或65°以上90°以下為更佳,以0°以上未滿15°或超過75°而在90°以下又更佳。壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ超過0°而未滿90°之情況下,壓電性高分子之配向方向描繪出螺旋。 [0029] 再者,藉由如此地配置壓電性高分子,可以成為相對於摩擦壓電性構造體之表面般的剪切變形,或彎曲中心軸的彎曲變形,或中心軸方向之伸縮變形,在壓電性構造體之中心軸側和外側不會產生大的電荷,即是相對於以中心軸為軸的扭轉,選擇性地產生大的電荷之壓電性構造體。 壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ係從側面觀看在配置有壓電性高分子之圓筒形或圓柱形的平行投影圖中,該中心軸之方向,和位於在中心軸重疊的前方之部分的壓電性高分子之配向方向所構成的角度。例如,圖2係從側面觀看到與實施型態有關之圓筒形之壓電性構造體1的圖式。在圖2之例中,壓電性構造體係將配向於長邊方向的壓電性高分子之帶材捲成螺旋狀之構造體。表示在中心軸CL重疊位於前方之部分的帶材之配向方向的直線為OL,CL和OL構成之角度θ(0度以上90度以下),係壓電性高分子相對於中心軸之方向的配向角度。 [0030] 在圖2中,因如帶材般使用薄的壓電性高分子,故壓電性高分子之配向方向大概與從側面觀察到之帶材表面之配向方向一致,但是使用厚的壓電性高分子而製作圓筒形之壓電性構造體之情況下,或圓柱形之壓電性構造體之情況,比起可以從側面觀察之表面的配向方向,因內部之配向方向越接近中心軸,越接近中心軸之方向,故在表面之配向方向和內部之配向方向之間產生差異。再者,因從側面觀察到之帶材表面之配向方向取在外觀上呈S字形或反S字形,故正確觀察必須要高倍率的放大觀察。 [0031] 從此觀點,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ在將配向於長邊方向的纖維、纖絲或帶材捲成螺旋狀之構造體(例如,可舉出撚紗、包芯紗狀、編織等)的情況下,盡可能地用以下之方法測量。攝影壓電性構造體之側面照片,測量壓電性高分子2之螺旋間距HP。螺旋間距HP如圖3般,一條壓電性高分子2從表面旋轉到背面再次來到表面所需的中心軸方向之直線距離。再者,因應所需以接合劑固定構造之後,切割與壓電性構造體之中心軸垂直的剖面而攝影照片,測量壓電性構造體所佔之部分的外側半徑Ro及內側半徑Ri。在剖面之外緣及內緣為橢圓形或扁平之圓形之情況下,將長徑和短徑之平均值設為Ro及Ri。壓電性構造體為圓柱之情況下設為Ri=0。從下式計算壓電性高分子相對於中心軸之方向的配向角度θ。但是,Rm=2(Ro3 -Ri3 )/3(Ro2 -Ri2 ),即是以剖面積加權平均的壓電性構造體之半徑。 [0032] 在壓電性構造體之側面照片中,壓電性高分子具有均勻之表面之情況,或壓電性高分子對中心軸方向的配向角度θ接近於0°之情況等,無法判別壓電性高分子之螺旋間距之情況下,在以通過中心軸之平面割斷以接合劑等固定的壓電性構造體,朝與割斷面垂直之方向,在足以通過中心軸之狹窄範圍穿透X射線之方式進行廣角X射線繞射分析,決定配向方向求取與中心軸的角度,設為θ。 [0033] 如編織或多層包芯紗般,針對沿著壓電性高分子之配向方向而描繪的螺旋,同時存在使螺旋方向(S撚向或Z撚向)或螺旋間距不同的兩個以上之螺旋之壓電性構造體之情況下,針對各個的螺旋方向及螺旋之壓電性高分子,分別進行上述測量,任一者的螺旋方向及螺旋間距之壓電性高分子必須滿足上述條件。 [0034] 在壓電性高分子之配向方向構成螺旋之情況,螺旋方向(S撚向或Z撚向)中之任一者,不會影響相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性(編碼)。但是,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上40°以下之情況,和為50°以上90°以下之情況,相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性逆轉。再者,如聚-L-乳酸和聚-D-乳酸般,包含d14之編碼互相不同之結晶性高分子的壓電性高分子也係相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性逆轉。因此,為了相對於扭轉變形在壓電性構造體之中心軸側和外側有效率地產生逆極性之電荷,僅使用包含與d14之編碼相同之結晶性高分子作為主成分之壓電性高分子,壓電性高分子對壓電性構造體中之中心軸之方向的配向角度θ以僅集中在0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下中之任一者為佳。 [0035] 但是,相對於壓電性構造體之中心軸方向之伸縮變形,產生在中心軸側和外側之電荷的極性(編碼)因在沿著S撚向之螺旋而配置某壓電性高分子之配向方向之情況下,和沿著Z撚向之螺旋而配置同樣的壓電性高分子之配向方向之情況下,互相成為相反的極性,故與在沿著S撚向之螺旋配置某壓電性高分子之配向方向之同時,沿著Z撚向之螺旋配置之情況(例如,在S撚向之紗及Z撚向之紗的雙方使用由某壓電性高分子所構成之纖維而編織之情況),因相對於伸縮變形的產生電荷,在S撚向和Z撚向互相抵銷,故僅可以檢測出對應於扭轉變形產生的電荷。因此,作為本發明之實施態樣,壓電性高分子包含:含有壓電常數d14之值為正的結晶性高分子作為主成分的P體,和含有負的結晶性高分子作為主成分的N體,針對該壓電性構造體之中心軸持有1cm之長度的部分,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向的P體之質量設為ZP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之P體之質量設為SP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向之N體之質量設為ZN,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之N體之質量設為SN,且將(ZP+SN)和(SP+ZN)中之小的一方設為T1,大的一方設為T2時,T1/T2之值超過0.8為佳,以超過0.9為更佳。尤其,壓電性高分子包含:含有聚-D-乳酸作為主成分之P體,和含有聚-L-乳酸作為主成分的N體,針對該壓電性構造體之中心軸持有1cm之長度的部分,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向的P體之質量設為ZP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之P體之質量設為SP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向之N體之質量設為ZN,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之N體之質量設為SN,且將(ZP+SN)和(SP+ZN)中之小的一方設為T1,大的一方設為T2時,T1/T2之值超過0.8,尤其超過0.8而在1.0以下為更佳,以超過0.9尤其係超過0.9而在1.0以下為最佳。在此,即使在不滿足上述T1/T2之值之情況下,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上10°以下或80°以上90°以下之情況,比起超過10°未滿80°之情況,相對於伸縮變形產生的電荷量變小,其結果,相對於扭轉變形可以選擇性地產生電訊號為佳。 再者,如聚-L-乳酸和聚-D-乳酸般,當沿著S撚或Z撚之一方的螺旋而混合配置包含d14之編碼互相不同的結晶性高分子的壓電性高分子時,因相對於伸縮變形的產生電荷互相抵銷,僅選擇性地應答扭轉變形,故為理想。 [0036] (壓電性構造體之構成) 如上述般,在本發明之壓電性構造體中,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ超過0°而未滿90°之情況下,壓電性高分子之配向方向描繪出螺旋。作為如此配置的壓電性構造體,尤其,可舉出例如使用在長邊方向配置壓電性高分子之纖維、纖絲或帶材的撚紗、包芯紗、編織等為佳之態樣。在使用帶材之情況下,使用配向於帶材之長邊方向以外之方向的帶材,可以使用捲成螺旋狀之帶材,或使長邊方向和中心軸方向成為平行而成型圓筒之帶材。從提升生產性和配向度之觀點,以藉由延伸配向於長邊方向的纖維、使用纖絲或帶材之撚絲、包芯紗及編織特佳,從構造之安定性的觀點來看,尤其以編織特別佳。 [0037] 壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°之情況下,壓電性高分子之配向方向與中心軸成為平行。作為成為如此配置之壓電性構造體,可以舉出以使例如壓電性高分子配向在長邊方向之纖維、纖絲或帶材本身,或使該些併紗者,或中空紗及複合紗或以壓電性高分子被覆芯紗者作為較佳態樣。 壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為90°之情況下,壓電性高分子之配向方向在與中心軸垂直之面上構成圓形。作為成為如此配置之壓電性構造體,例如可以舉出使用配向成與長邊方向垂直的壓電性高分子之帶材,使長邊方向和中心軸方向平行而成型圓筒者作為較佳態樣。 [0038] 本發明之壓電性構造體係於對中心軸之方向施予扭轉變形之時,在中心軸側和外側產生逆極性之電荷。其利用型態並不特別限定,雖然也可以利用於物質之吸附-脫附或引力/斥力所致的操作、電磁波產生、對生物的電刺激等,但是因效率佳地取出其電荷當作訊號或能量,故以配置在中心軸側及/或外側之導電體的型態為更佳。在外側配置導電體之情況下,係以全部覆蓋壓電性構造體之圓柱形側面或圓筒型側面之方式配置導電體,雖然在電荷之利用效率及可以當作屏蔽利用之點上更佳,但是即使僅部分性地配置導電體亦可。 從生產性、彎曲耐久性、構造之穩定性之觀點來看,以後述編織狀之壓電性構造體為最佳。 [0039] (編織狀壓電元件) 圖4為表示與實施型態有關之編織狀之壓電性構造體(以下,稱為編織狀壓電元件)之構成例的示意圖。 編織狀壓電元件101具備以導電性纖維B所形成的芯部103,和以被覆芯部103之方式以編織狀之壓電性纖維A所形成之鞘部102,鞘部102為本發明中之圓筒形的壓電性構造體。壓電性纖維A可以包含聚乳酸作為主成分。 [0040] 在編織狀壓電元件101中,在至少一條導電性纖維B之外周面緻密地捲繞多數壓電性纖維A。當在編織狀壓電元件101產生變形時,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生變形所致的應力,依此,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生電場(壓電效應),其結果,推測在導電性纖維B產生與捲繞導電性纖維B之多數壓電性纖維A之電場重疊的電壓變化。即是,與不使用壓電性纖維A之編織狀的鞘部102的情況作比較,來自導電性纖維B的電訊號增大。依此,在編織狀壓電元件101中,即使藉由以比較小的變形產生的應力,能夠取出大的電訊號。另外,導電性纖維B即使為複數條亦可。 在此,經由作為芯部之導電性纖維B被檢測出的訊號強度當然以與鞘部亦即壓電性纖維A的接觸狀態不變化被強烈拘束為佳。例如,藉由提高以編帶機編織壓電性纖維之時的張力,可以取得更強烈被拘束的編織。另外,聚乳酸(PLA)纖維強度弱,而且摩擦高,故有在編帶機之紗道,纖維引起單紗斷頭,無法取得漂亮的編織之情況。即是,在編織工程中,因藉由保持纖維捲繞的梭心的載體在盤上移動之路徑,使得纖維由於梭心的蓄壓瞬間性地重複拉緊放鬆而進行編織,故一般而言,PLA纖維難以施加高的張力來編織。但是,如此之困難可知藉由對PLA纖維施予撚紗加工來改善。具體而言,對PLA纖維以10~5000T/m之撚數施予撚紗加工為佳。當小於10T/m時,無法取得撚紗之效果,當大於5000T/m時,纖維變得容易扭轉,容易引起加工時的故障。再者,PLA之配向軸方向對編織之時的編織軸方向之變形的角度,並非適當,有訊號強度變小之虞。撚數以30T/m以上為佳,以50T/m以上為更佳。再者,作為撚數之上限,以3000T/m以下為較佳,以1500T/m以下為更佳。撚紗加工之方法並不特別限定,能夠適用眾知的所有撚紗加工方法。再者,被撚紗加工的纖維以被熱處理為佳,藉由熱處理,撚紗狀態被固定化且纖維之處理變得容易。熱處理之方法也不特別限定,一般而言,以選擇對象纖維之Tg~Tm之溫度為佳,也有在濕度下處理之情形。 [0041] 在此,壓電性纖維A以包含聚乳酸作為主成分為佳。聚乳酸中之乳酸單元係以90莫耳%以上為佳,以95莫耳%以上為較佳,以98莫耳%以上為更佳。 [0042] 另外,編織狀壓電元件101中,只要達成本發明之目的,即使在鞘部102與壓電性纖維A以外之其他纖維組合進行混纖等亦可,即使在芯部103與導電性纖維B以外之其他纖維組合而進行混纖等亦可。 [0043] 導電性纖維B之芯部103和編織狀之壓電性纖維A之鞘部102 所構成的編織狀壓電元件之長度並不特別限定。例如,即使其編織狀壓電元件係在製造中連續性地被製造,之後,切斷成之後所需之長度而加以利用亦可。編織狀壓電元件之長度為1mm~10m,以5mm~2m為佳,以1cm~1m為較佳。當長度過短時,失去纖維形狀亦即便利性,再者,當長度過長時,則會出現需要考量導電性纖維B之電阻值。 以下,針對各構成予以詳細說明。 [0044] (導電性纖維) 作為導電性纖維B,若為表示導電性之纖維即可,使用眾知的所有纖維。作為導電性纖維B,可舉出例如金屬纖維、由導電性高分子所構成之纖維、碳纖維、使纖維狀或粒狀之導電性填料分散之高分子所構成的纖維,或在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的纖維。作為在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的方法,可舉出金屬塗佈、導電性高分子塗佈、導電性纖維之捲繞等。其中,從導電性、耐久性、柔軟性等之觀點來看,以金屬塗佈為佳。作為塗佈金屬之具體性方法,雖然可舉出蒸鍍、濺鍍、電解鍍敷、無電解鍍敷等,但是從生產性等之觀點來看,以鍍敷為佳。如此被鍍敷金屬的纖維可以稱為金屬鍍敷纖維。 [0045] 作為被塗佈金屬之基底的纖維,不管有無導電性可以使用眾知之纖維,例如除聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺纖維等之再生纖維。基底的纖維並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知的纖維,即使組合該些纖維而加以使用亦可。 [0046] 被塗佈於基底之纖維的金屬表示導電性,只要達到本發明之效果,即使使用任一者亦可。例如,可以使用金、銀、鉑、銅、鎳、錫、鉛、鈀、氧化銦錫、硫化銅等,及該些混合物或合金等。 [0047] 當導電性纖維B使用具有彎曲耐性之被施予金屬塗佈的有機纖維時,導電性纖維斷裂之情形非常少,作為使用壓電元件之感測器的耐久性或安全性優良。 [0048] 導電性纖維B即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。以電特性之長條穩定性之觀點來看以多纖絲為佳。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5000μm,以2μm~100μm為佳。以3μm~50μm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,作為纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以5條~500條為較佳,以10條~100條為更佳。但是,導電性纖維B之纖度、條數係於製作編織之時所使用的芯部103之纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的導電線纖維B。在此,芯部103係設為即使在使用導電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0049] 當纖維之直徑小時,強度下降,變得難以操作,再者,在直徑大之情況下,犧牲了可撓性。作為導電性纖維B之剖面形狀,從壓電元件之設計及製造之觀點來看以圓或橢圓為佳,但是並不限定於此。 [0050] 再者,為了有效率地取出來自壓電性高分子之電輸出,以電阻低為佳,作為體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若為能取得在電訊號之檢測上足夠的強度時,導電性纖維B之電阻率則不限於此。 [0051] 導電性纖維B從本發明之用途來看必須有對重複彎曲或扭轉這樣動作的耐性。作為其指標,結節強度以較大者為佳。結節強度可以以JIS L1013 8.6之方法來測量。作為適合本發明之結節強度之程度,以0.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以1.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以1.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。再者,作為另外的指標,彎曲剛性以較小者為佳。彎曲剛性一般係以加多科技(KATO TECH)(股)製KES-FB2純彎曲試驗機等之測量裝置來測定。作為適合於本發明之彎曲剛性的程度,以較東邦帝納克斯(Toho Tenax)(股)製的碳纖維“TENAX”(註冊商標)HTS40-3K小為佳。具體而言,導電性纖維之彎曲剛性為0.05×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為佳,以0.02×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為較佳,以0.01×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為更佳。 [0052] 聚乳酸之光學純度以99%以上為佳,以99.3%以上為較佳,以99.5%以上為更佳。有當光學純度未滿99%時,壓電率明顯下降之情況,有藉由壓電性纖維A之形狀變化難以取得充分的電訊號之情況。尤其,壓電性纖維A包含聚-L-乳酸或聚-D-乳酸作為主成分,該些光學純度以99%以上為佳。 [0053] 以聚乳酸為主成分之壓電性纖維A在製造時延伸,於其纖維軸方向作單軸配向。並且,壓電性纖維A不僅在其纖維軸方向作單軸配向,以包含聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為佳,以包含單軸配向的聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為更佳。因為,藉由聚乳酸藉由其結晶性高及單軸配向,表示大的壓電性,d14之絕對值變高之故。 [0054] 結晶性及單軸配向性係藉由均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)求出。作為本發明之壓電性纖維A,以均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)滿足下式(1)為佳。在未滿足上述式(1)之情況下,結晶性及/或單軸配向性不充分,有電訊號對動作的輸出值下降,或訊號對特定方向之動作的敏感度下降之虞。上述式(1)之左邊的值以0.28以上為較佳,以0.3以上為更佳。在此,各值依照下述求出。 [0055] 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo : 針對均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo ,從廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所致的結晶構造解析求出。在廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)中,使用理學(Rigaku)公司製ultrax18型X射線繞射裝置,而藉由穿透法,利用以下條件將樣本之X射線繞射圖形記錄於影像板。 X射線源:Cu-Kα射線(共焦鏡) 輸出:45kV×60mA 縫隙:1st:1mmΦ、2nd:0.8mmΦ 攝影長度:120mm 累計時間:10分鐘 樣本:將35mg之聚乳酸纖維併紗使成為3cm之纖維束。 在所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,在方位角求出全散射強度Itotal,在此,求出在2θ=16.5°、18.5°、24.3°附近出現的來自均聚乳酸結晶的各繞射峰值之積分強度的總和ΣIHMi。從該些值依照下式(2),求出均乳酸結晶化度Xhomo 。 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo (%)=ΣIHMi /Itotal ×100 (2) 另外,ΣIHMi 係藉由在全散射強度中減去背景或非晶所致的漫散散射而算出。 [0056] (2)結晶配向度Ao: 針對結晶配向度Ao,在藉由上述廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,針對出現在動徑方向的2θ=16.5°附近的來自均聚乳酸結晶之繞射峰值,取相對於方位角(°)的強度分布,從所取得的分布曲線之半值寬度的總計ΣWi (°)由下式(3)算出。 結晶配向度Ao(%)=(360-ΣWi )÷360×100 (3) [0057] 另外,因聚乳酸係加水分解比較快的聚酯,故在耐濕熱性有問題之情況下,即使添加眾知的異氰酸酯化合物、噁唑啉化合物、環氧化合物、碳二亞胺化合物等之加水分解防止劑亦可。再者,即使因應所需,添加磷酸系化合物等之氧化防止劑、可塑劑、光劣化防止劑等而進行物性改良亦可。 [0058] 壓電性纖維A即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5mm,以5μm~2mm為佳,以10μm~1mm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,其單絲徑為0.1μm~5mm,以2μm~100μm較佳,以3μm~50μm更佳。作為多纖絲之纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以50條~50000條為較佳,以100條~20000條為更佳。但是,針對壓電性纖維A之纖度或條數,係於製作編織之時的每一個載體的纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的壓電性纖維A。在此,設為即使一個載體中,使用壓電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0059] 為了使如此之壓電性高分子成為壓電性纖維A,只要達到本發明之效果,可以採用用以從高分子成為纖維化之眾知方法中之任一者。例如,可以採用將壓電性高分子擠壓成型而進行纖維化之手法、將壓電性高分子予以熔融紡紗而進行纖維化之手法、藉由乾式或濕式紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、藉由靜電紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、於形成薄膜之後切細的手法等。該些紡紗條件若因應所採用的壓電性高分子而適用眾知的手法即可,通常若採用工業上容易生產的熔融紡紗法即可。並且,於形成纖維之後,延伸所形成的纖維。依此,形成單軸延伸配向並且包含結晶的顯示大壓電性的壓電性纖維A。 [0060] 再者,壓電性纖維A係於使如上述般所製作出的纖維成為編織之前,進行染色、撚紗、合線、熱處理等之處理。 [0061] 並且,因壓電性纖維A有於形成編織之時纖維彼此摩擦斷線,或產生起毛之情況下,故以其強度和耐摩耗性比較高者為佳,強度以1.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以2.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以3.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。耐摩耗性可以藉由JIS L1095 9.10.2 B法等進行評估,摩擦次數以100次以上為佳,以1000次以上為較佳,以5000次以上為更佳,以10000次以上為最佳。用以提升耐摩耗性之方法並不特別限定,可以使用眾知的所有方法,例如,可以提升結晶化度、或添加微粒子,或進行表面加工。再者,於加工成編織之時,亦可以在纖維上塗佈潤滑劑而降低摩擦。 [0062] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率和上述導電性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以後述之沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及導電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(c)以滿足下式(4)為佳。上述式(4)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0063] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率以與導電性纖維以外之纖維,例如絕緣性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及絕緣性纖維之沸水收縮率S(i)以滿足下式(5)為佳。上述式(5)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0064] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率較小為佳。在例如以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之收縮率以15%以下為佳,以10%以下為較佳,以5%以下為更佳,以3%以下為最佳。作為降低收縮率之手段,可以適用眾知之所有方法,例如藉由熱處理提升非晶部之配向緩和或結晶化度,依此可以降低收縮率,實施熱處理之時序並不特別限定,可舉出延伸後、撚紗後、編織化後、布帛化後等。另外,上述沸水收縮率用以下之方法進行測定。以外框周圍1.125m之檢布機製作捲數20次的絞紗,施加0.022cN/dtex之負載,吊在刻度板上測量初期的絞紗長度L0。之後,將該絞紗在100℃之沸騰水浴中進行30分鐘處理後,放置冷卻,再次施加上述負載,吊在刻度板,測量收縮後的絞紗長度L。使用測量出的L0及L,藉由下述式(6)計算沸水收縮率。 沸水收縮率=(L0-L)/L0×100(%) (6) [0065] (被覆) 導電性纖維B,即是芯部103係以壓電性纖維A,即是編織狀之鞘部102被覆表面。被覆導電性纖維B之鞘部102之厚度以1μm~10mm為佳,以5μm~5mm為較佳,以10μm~3mm為更佳,以20μm~1mm為最佳。當過薄時會有在強度之點上出現問題之情況,再者,當過厚時會有編織狀壓電元件101變硬變得難變形之情況。另外,在此所稱鞘部102係指與芯部103鄰接之層。 [0066] 在編織狀壓電元件101中,鞘部102之壓電性纖維A之總纖度,以芯部103之導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/2倍以上、20倍以下為佳,以1倍以上、15倍以下為較佳,以2倍以上、10倍以下為更佳。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過少而導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有導電性纖維B接觸到接近的其他導電性纖維之虞。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過多而編織狀壓電元件101變硬變得難變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件101無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 在此所指的總纖度係構成鞘部102之壓電性纖維A所有之纖度的和,例如一般8股編織之情況下,成為8條纖維之纖度的總和。 [0067] 再者,在編織狀壓電元件101中,鞘部102之每一條壓電性纖維A的纖度,以導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/20倍以上、2倍以下為佳,以1/15倍以上、1.5倍以下為較佳,以1/10倍以上、1倍以下為更佳。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,壓電性纖維A過少,導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有壓電性纖維A切斷之虞。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,壓電性纖維A過粗而編織狀壓電元件101變硬變得難以變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件101無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 [0068] 另外,導電性纖維B使用金屬纖維之情況,或將金屬纖維混纖在導電性纖維A或壓電性纖維B之情況下,纖度之比率並不限於上述。在本發明中,以接觸面積或被覆率,即是以面積及體積之觀點來看上述比率為重要之故。例如,在各個的纖維比重超過2之情況下,以纖維之平均剖面積之比率為上述纖度之比率為佳。 [0069] 雖然壓電性纖維A和導電性纖維B以盡量密接為佳,但是為了改良密接性,即使在導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之間設置錨定層或接合層等亦可。 [0070] 被覆之方法係採用將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀之方法。另外,壓電性纖維A之編織形狀,若可以對以施加的負載產生的應力輸出電訊號時,並不限定加以限定,以具有芯部103之8股編織或16股編織為佳。 [0071] 作為導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之形狀,雖然不特別限定,以盡量接近同心圓狀為佳。另外,作為導電性纖維B,使用多纖絲之情況下,壓電性纖維A若以導電性纖維B之多纖絲之表面(纖維周面)之至少一部分接觸之方式被覆即可,即使在構成多纖絲之所有纖絲表面(纖維周面)被覆壓電性纖維A亦可,即使不被覆亦可。壓電性纖維A朝構成導電性纖維B之多纖絲的內部之各纖絲的被覆狀態,若考慮作為壓電性元件之性能、操作性等,適當設定即可。 [0072] 本發明之編織狀壓電元件101因無須在其表面存在電極,故有無須進一步被覆編織狀壓電元件101本體,再者,難以產生錯誤動作之優點。 [0073] (製造方法) 本發明之編織狀壓電元件101雖然以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆至少一條導電性纖維B之表面,但是作為其製造方法可舉出例如以下之方法。即是,以另外之工程製作導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A,將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀而被覆導電性纖維B的方法。在此情況下,以盡量接近於同心圓狀之方式被覆為佳。 [0074] 此情況下,以作為形成壓電性纖維A之壓電性高分子,以使用聚乳酸之情況為佳的紡紗、延伸條件而言,以熔融紡紗溫度為150℃~250℃為佳,延伸溫度為40℃~150℃為佳,延伸倍率為1.1倍至5.0倍為佳,結晶化溫度為80℃~170℃為佳。 [0075] 作為捲繞在導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。再者,作為捲繞在壓電性纖維A之導電性纖維B,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。再者,導電性纖維B即使進行撚紗加工亦可。 [0076] 作為被覆之較佳型態,可以藉由將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A編織成編狀,製作出管狀編織物(Tubular Braid)來被覆。更具體而言,可舉出具有芯部103之8股編織或16股編織。此時,雖然壓電性纖維A使用被進行撚紗加工的纖維為佳,但是即使所有的壓電性纖維被進行撚紗加工亦可,即使一部分被進行撚紗加工亦可。再者,壓電性纖維A之撚紗方向係所使用的壓電性纖維A之全部不一定要為相同方向。例如,可以使用對編織時順時鐘旋轉之纖維進行S撚紗加工的纖維,對逆時鐘方向旋轉之纖維進行Z撚紗加工的纖維。再者,於例如8股編織之情況下,並不需要8條全部為壓電性纖維,若在取得視為目的之訊號強度的範圍時,可以使用別的纖維。當然,即使使用對芯部之導電纖維、成為屏蔽層的導電纖維進行撚紗加工的纖維亦可。但是,例如即使將壓電性纖維A設為編織管般之型態,將導電性纖維B視為芯部,插入該編織管而予以被覆亦可。 [0077] 藉由上述般之製造方法,可以取得以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆導電性纖維B之表面的編織狀壓電元件101。 [0078] 本發明之編織狀壓電元件101因必須在表面形成用以檢測出電訊號之電極,故可以比較簡單地製造。 [0079] (保護層) 即使在本發明之編織狀壓電元件101之最表面設置保護層亦可。該保護層係以絕緣性為佳,從可撓性之觀點來看以由高分子所構成為較佳。在保護層持有絕緣性之情況下,當然在此情況下會有連保護層一起變形,或在保護層上摩擦之情形,但是若係該些外力到達至壓電性纖維A,且可以誘發其極化者時,則不特別限定。作為保護層,並不限定於藉由高分子等之塗佈所形成者,即使為捲繞薄膜、布帛、纖維等亦可,或是即使為組合該些者亦可。 [0080] 作為保護層之厚度,雖然以越薄之厚度越容易將剪切應力傳達至壓電性纖維A,但是當過薄之時,因容易產生保護層本身被破壞等之問題,故以10nm~200μm為佳,以50nm~50μm較佳、以70nm~30μm更佳,以100nm~10μm最佳。藉由該保護層,亦可以形成壓電元件之形狀。 [0081] 再者,以降低雜訊為目的,亦可以使電磁波屏蔽層採用編織構造。雖然電磁波屏蔽層並不特別限定,但是即使塗佈導電性物質亦可,即使捲繞具有導電性之薄膜、布帛、纖維等亦可。作為電磁波屏蔽層之體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以 10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若為能取得電磁波屏蔽層之效果時,電阻率為則不在此限。該電磁波屏蔽層即使設置在鞘部之壓電性纖維A之表面亦可,即使設置在上述保護層之外側亦可。當然,即使疊層複數層電磁波屏蔽層和保護層亦可,其順序也因應目的而適當決定。 [0082] 並且,亦可以設置複數層由壓電性纖維所構成之層,或設置複數層用以取出訊號的由導電性纖維所構成之層。當然,該些保護層、電磁波屏蔽層、由壓電性纖維所構成之層、由導電性纖維所構成之層,其順序及層數因應其目的適當決定。另外,作為捲繞之方法,可舉出在鞘部102之更外層形成編織構造,或覆蓋之方法。 在如上述般在壓電性構造體之中心軸側及外側配置導電體之情況下,可以視為將中心軸側之導電體和外側之導電體設為2極之電極而夾著壓電性高分子(介電體)的電容器狀之壓電元件。為了有效地取出被藉由變形產生在壓電性構造體之極化誘發的電訊號,作為該些電極間之絕緣電阻之值,當以3V之直流電壓測量之時,以1MΩ以上為佳,以10MΩ以上為較佳,以100MΩ以上為更佳。再者,即使針對解析對該些電極間供給1MHz之交流電壓之時的應答而所取得的等效串聯電阻之值Rs及等效串聯電容Cs之值,也因有效地取出被藉由變形產生在壓電性構造體之極化誘發的電訊號,應答性變佳,故在特定值之範圍內為佳。即是,Rs之值以1μΩ以上100kΩ以下為佳,以1mΩ以上10kΩ以下為較佳,以1mΩ以上1kΩ以下為更佳,作為Cs之值除以壓電性構造體之中心軸方向之長度(cm)之值,以0.1pF以上1000pF以下為佳,以0.2pF以上100pF以下為較佳,以0.4pF以上10pF以下為更佳。 如上述般,在壓電性構造體和由電極所構成之元件為佳之狀態下能夠動作之情況下,因解析對該些電極間供給1MHz之交流電壓之時之應答而所得的等效串聯電阻之值Rs及等效串聯電容Cs之值取得特定範圍內之值,亦以將該些值用於壓電性構造體之檢查為佳。再者,不僅藉由交流電壓之解析所得的Rs及Cs之值,亦可以藉由解析相對於其他電性刺激的過渡應答,進行壓電性構造體之檢查。 [0083] (作用) 本發明之編織狀壓電元件101尤其可以在施加以從鞘部102所形成之圓筒形之壓電性構造體之中心軸,即是導電性纖維B為軸的扭轉變形(應力)之情況下,有效率地輸出大的電訊號。另外,不會對伸縮變形或彎曲,摩擦變形輸出大的電訊號。 [0084] 在此,作為供給至編織狀壓電元件101之扭轉變形,以在未滿元件中之纖維開始塑性變形的變形量的範圍下被施加為佳。其變形量取決於所使用之纖維的物性。但是,在無設想重複之規格的用途下不限於此。 [0085] (布帛狀壓電元件) 圖5為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件的布帛狀壓電元件之構成例的示意圖。 布帛狀壓電元件107具備包含至少一條編織狀壓電元件101之布帛108。布帛108係構成布帛之纖維(包含編織)之至少一條為編織狀壓電元件101,編織狀壓電元件101只要能夠發揮作為壓電元件之功能,就無任何限定,即使為任何編織物亦可。對於製成布狀,只要達成本發明之目的,就算係與其他纖維(包含編織)組合,而進行交織、交編等亦可。當然,即使將編織狀壓電元件101當作構成布帛之纖維(例如,經紗或緯紗)之一部分使用亦可,即使在布帛上刺繡編織狀壓電元件101亦可,即使接合亦可。在圖5所示之例中,布帛狀壓電元件107係配置至少一條編織狀壓電元件101及絕緣性纖維109作為經紗,交互配置導電性纖維110及絕緣性纖維109作為緯紗的平織物。導電性纖維110即使為與導電性纖維B同一種亦可,即使為不同種之導電性纖維亦可,再者針對絕緣性纖維109於後述。另外,即使絕緣性纖維109及/或導電性纖維110之全部或一部分為編織型態亦可。 [0086] 在此情況下,當由於布帛狀壓電元件107彎曲等而變形之時,因編織狀壓電元件101也隨著該變形而變形,故藉由從編織狀壓電元件101被輸出的電訊號,可以檢測出布帛狀壓電元件107之變形。而且,因布帛狀壓電元件107可以當作布帛(編織物)使用,故可以適用於例如衣類形狀之穿戴式感測器。 [0087] 再者,在圖5所示之布帛狀壓電元件107中,導電性纖維110與編織狀壓電元件101交叉而接觸。因此,導電性纖維110與編織狀壓電元件101之至少一部分交叉而接觸,且覆蓋此,可以從外部觀看到欲朝編織狀壓電元件101之電磁波的至少一部分被遮蔽。如此之導電性纖維110具有藉由被接地(earth),減輕電磁波對編織狀壓電元件101的影響之功能。即是,導電性纖維110可以當作編織狀壓電元件101之電磁波屏蔽而發揮功能。依此,即使不在例如布帛狀壓電元件107之上下重疊電磁波屏蔽用之導電性之布帛,亦可以顯著地提升布帛狀壓電元件107之S/N比。在此情況下,從電磁波屏蔽之觀點來看,以與編織狀壓電元件101交叉之緯紗(在圖5之情況下)之導電性纖維110之比率越高越佳。具體而言,以形成布帛108之纖維,並且與編織狀壓電元件101交叉之纖維中之30%以上為導電性纖維為佳,40%以上較佳,50%以上更佳。如此一來,在布帛狀壓電元件107中,藉由放入導電性纖維作為構成布帛之纖維之至少一部分,可以成為附有電磁波屏蔽之布帛狀壓電元件107。 [0088] 作為織物之織組織,可例示平織、斜紋織、緞紋織等之三原組織、變化組織、經二重織、緯二重織等之單二重組織、經絨等。編物之種類即使為圓編物(緯編物)亦可,即使為經編物亦可。作為圓編物(緯編物)之組織,較佳可例示平編、羅紋編、兩面編、反針編、掛針編、浮線編、半畔編、紗羅編、添毛編等。作為經編組織,可例示單面經編平織編、單面經編緞針編、雙面經編絨編、經絨-經平編、起絨編、提花編等。層數亦可以單層,亦可以為2層以上之多層。而且,即使為由割毛織及/或毛圈織所成之立毛部與基底組織部所構成的立毛織物、立毛編物亦可。 [0089] (複數的壓電元件) 再者,在布帛狀壓電元件107中,亦能夠排列複數編織狀壓電元件101而加以使用。作為排列方式,例如作為經紗或緯紗,即使全部使用編織狀壓電元件101亦可,即使每數條或一部分使用編織狀壓電元件101亦可。再者,即使某部分使用編織狀壓電元件101作為經紗,其他部分使用編織狀壓電元件101作為緯紗亦可。 [0090] 如此一來,於排列複數條編織狀壓電元件101而形成布帛狀壓電元件107之時,因編織狀壓電元件101在表面不具有電極,故有可以在寬範圍下選擇其排列方式、編織方式之優點。 [0091] 再者,於使用排列複數編織狀壓電元件101之情況下,因導電性纖維B間之距離短,故在電訊號之取出上具有效率。 [0092] (絕緣性纖維) 在布帛狀壓電元件107,在編織狀壓電元件101(及導電性纖維110)以外之部分,可以使用絕緣性纖維。此時,絕緣性纖維以提升布帛狀壓電元件107之柔軟性為目的,可以使用具有伸縮性素材、形狀的纖維。 [0093] 如此一來,藉由在編織狀壓電元件101(及導電性纖維110)以外,配置絕緣性纖維,能夠提升布帛狀壓電元件107之操作性(例示:作為穿戴式感測器的活動容易性)。 [0094] 作為如此之絕緣性纖維,若為體積電阻率為106 Ω・cm以上時可以使用,以108 Ω・cm以上為較佳,以1010 Ω・cm以上為更佳。 [0095] 作為絕緣性纖維,例如除了聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺等之再生纖維。並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知之絕緣性纖維。並且,即使組合該些絕緣性纖維而加以使用亦可,即使與不具有絕緣性之纖維組合,而成為全體具有絕緣性之纖維亦可。 [0096] 再者,亦可以使用眾知之所有剖面形狀之纖維。 [0097] (壓電元件之適用技術) 因本發明之編織狀壓電元件101或布帛狀壓電元件107般之壓電元件即使為任一態樣,亦可以輸出以編織狀壓電元件之中心軸為軸的扭轉變形(應力)作為電訊號,故可以當作檢測出被施加至其壓電元件之應力之大小及/或被施加的位置的感測器(裝置)予以利用。就布帛狀壓電元件中之編織狀壓電元件之配置方法而言,因布帛狀壓電元件彎曲、伸縮,受到推壓等之變形或應力之時,編織狀壓電元件產生扭轉變形,故亦可以藉由布帛狀壓電元件之彎曲、伸縮、推壓等之變形或應力輸出電訊號。再者,亦可以將該電訊號當作用以使其他裝置運轉之電力源或蓄電等之發電元件來使用。具體而言,可舉出因用於人、動物、機器人、機械等自發性運動者之可動部而發電,因鞋底、敷物、受到來自外部的壓力之構造物的表面所致的發電,因流體中的形狀變化而發電等。再者,由於藉由流體中的形狀變化而發出電訊號,亦能夠使吸附流體中的帶電性物質或抑制附著。 [0098] 圖6為表示具備本發明之壓電元件112之裝置111的方塊圖。裝置111具備壓電元件112(例示:編織狀壓電元件101、布帛狀壓電元件107),和以任意選擇,放大因應被施加之壓力而從壓電元件112之輸出端子被輸出的電訊號之放大手段113,和輸出以該任意選擇之放大手段113被放大之電訊號的輸出手段114,和將從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號發送至外部機器(無圖示)的發送手段115之電路。若使用該裝置111時,根據朝壓電元件112之表面的接觸、壓力、形狀變化而被輸出之電訊號,以外部機器(無圖示)的運算處理,可以檢測出被施加至壓電元件之編織狀壓電元件之中心軸為軸之扭轉變形(應力)之大小及/或被施加的位置。 [0099] 任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115即使以例如軟體程式構築亦可,或是以各種電子電路和軟體程式之組合構築亦可。例如,在運算處理裝置(無圖示)被安裝該軟體程式,運算處理裝置依照該軟體程式動作,依此實現各部之功能。再者,或是,即使將任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115,作為寫入實現該些各部功能之軟體程式的半導體積體電路而加以實現亦可。另外,使發送手段115所致之發送方式成為藉由無線或有線,若因應所構成之感測器而適當決定即可。或是,即使在裝置111內,設置根據從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號,運算被施加至壓電元件112之應力的大小及/或被施加之位置的運算手段(無圖示)亦可。再者,不僅放大手段,即使組合除去雜訊之手段或與其他訊號組合而進行處理之手段等之眾知的訊號處理手段而加以使用亦可。該些手段之連接順序可因應目的而適當變更。當然,即使將從壓電元件112被輸出之電訊號原樣地朝外部機器發送之後,進行訊號處理亦可。 [0100] 圖7及圖8為表示具備與實施型態有關之編織布帛狀壓電元件之裝置之構成例的示意圖。圖7及圖8之放大手段113相當於參照圖6而說明者,針對圖6之輸出手段114及發送手段115,在圖7及圖8中省略圖示。在構成具備布帛狀壓電元件107之裝置之情況下,放大手段113之輸入端子連接從編織狀壓電元件101之芯部103(以導電性纖維B所形成)之輸出端子而來的拉出線,接地(earth)端子連接與被連接於放大手段113之輸入端子的編織狀壓電元件101不同的編織狀壓電元件或導電性纖維110。例如,如圖7所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件107中,將從編織狀壓電元件101之芯部103而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使與編織狀壓電元件101交叉而接觸的導電性纖維110接地(earth)。再者,例如圖8所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件107排列複數編織狀壓電元件101之情況下,將從一條編織狀壓電元件101之芯部103而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,將從與該編織狀壓電元件101排列之另外的編織狀壓電元件101之芯部103而來的拉出線予以接地(earth)。 [0101] 當產生以編織狀壓電元件101之中心軸為軸的扭轉變形時,壓電性纖維A產生極化。受到壓電性纖維A之極化產生的正負各電荷之配列的影響,在來自形成編織狀壓電元件101之芯部103的導電性纖維B之輸出端子的拉出線上,產生電荷之移動。在來自導電性纖維B之拉出線上,電荷的移動出現微小的電訊號(即是電流或電位差)。即是,因應以編織狀壓電元件101之中心軸(配置壓電性高分子之圓筒形的中心軸)為軸的扭轉變形之時產生的電荷,從輸出端子輸出電訊號。放大手段113放大該電訊號,輸出手段114輸出在放大手段113被放大之電訊號,發送手段115係將從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號發送至外部機器(無圖示)。 [0102] 本發明之裝置111具有柔軟性,因即使在編織狀及布帛狀中之任一型態亦可以使用,故可想像非常寬範圍的用途。作為本發明之裝置111之具體例,可舉出成為帽子、手套、襪子等的穿著衣服、支撐物、手帕狀等之形狀的觸控面板,作為對於人或動物之表面感壓感測器,例如檢測成為手套、帶體、支撐物等之形狀的關節部之彎曲、扭轉、伸縮的感測器。例如當使用於人時,檢測接觸或動作,可使用作為醫療用途等的關節等之動作的資訊收集、娛樂用途、使用於移動失去的組織或機器人之介面。另外,可使用作為模仿動物或人型的布製玩偶或機器人之表面感壓感測器、檢測關節部的彎曲、扭轉、伸縮之感測器。還有,可使用作為床單或枕頭等之寢具、鞋底、手套、椅子、敷物、袋子、旗等之表面感壓感測器或形狀變化感測器 [0103] 另外,本發明之裝置111因係編織狀或布帛狀,且具有柔軟性,故藉由貼附或被覆於所有構造物的全體或一部分之表面,可作為表面感壓感測器、形狀變化感測器使用。 [0104] 而且,本發明之裝置111因僅以摩擦編織狀壓電元件101之表面就可以產生充分的電訊號,故可用於觸控感測器般之觸控式輸入裝置或指向裝置等。再者,因藉由以編織狀壓電元件101擦拭被測量物之表面,可以取得被測量物之高度方向之位置資訊或形狀資訊,故可以用於表面形狀測量等。 [0105] 以下,針對第2發明予以詳細說明。 (編織狀壓電元件) 在與第2發明有關之編織狀壓電元件中,可以使用與第1發明有關之構造體中之壓電性高分子被配置成圓筒形,在該圓筒形之中心軸之位置配置有由導電性纖維所構成之導電體的元件,亦即壓電性高分子作為壓電性纖維編織成編織狀被配置在導電性纖維之周圍的元件。以下,針對與第2發明有關之編織狀壓電元件予以詳細說明。 [0106] 圖10為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件之構成例的示意圖。 編織狀壓電元件201具備以導電性纖維B所形成的芯部203,和以被覆芯部203之方式以編織狀之壓電性纖維A所形成之鞘部202,和被覆鞘部202之導電層204。導電層204同時具有作為成為芯部203之導電性纖維之對極的電極的功能,和遮蔽芯部203之導電性纖維防止外部之電磁波,抑制在芯部203之導電性纖維產生之雜訊訊號的屏蔽的功能。 [0107] 導電層204所致的鞘部202之被覆率以25%以上為佳。在此,被覆率係以將導電層204投影至鞘部202之時的導電層204所含之導電性物質205之面積和鞘部202之表面積之比率,其值以25%以上為佳,以50%以上為較佳,以75%以上為更佳。導電層204之被覆率低於25%時,有無法充分發揮雜訊訊號之抑制效果之情況。於導電性物質205未朝導電層204之表面露出之情況下,例如將內含導電性物質205之纖維當作導電層204使用而被覆鞘部202之情況,可以將朝其纖維之鞘部202投影之時的面積和鞘部202之表面積之比率設為被覆率。 導電性物質205係導電層204所含之導電性物質,相當於眾知之所有者。 [0108] 在編織狀壓電元件201中,在至少一條導電性纖維B之外周面緻密地捲繞多數壓電性纖維A。當在編織狀壓電元件201產生變形時,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生變形所致的應力,依此,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生電場(壓電效應),其結果,推測在導電性纖維B產生與捲繞導電性纖維B之多數壓電性纖維A之電場重疊的電壓變化。即是,與不使用壓電性纖維A之編織狀的鞘部202的情況作比較,來自導電性纖維B的電訊號增大。依此,在編織狀壓電元件201中,即使藉由以比較小的變形產生的應力,能夠取出大的電訊號。另外,導電性纖維B即使為複數條亦可。 [0109] 編織狀壓電元件201從達成第2發明之目的的觀點來看,雖然除後面說明之由壓電性纖維所構成之層之厚度d對芯部203之半徑Rc的比d/Rc之特徵外,若為具有圖10所示之構成時,並不特別限定,但是從對以其中心軸為軸的扭轉變形選擇性地輸出大的電訊號之觀點來看,以具有下述構成為佳。 作為對以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形選擇性地輸出大的電訊號的編織狀壓電元件201,就以壓電性纖維A,使用將配向之壓電性高分子配置成圓筒形的構造體,其係壓電性高分子對配置有壓電性高分子之圓筒形之中心軸之方向的配向角度為0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下,以0°以上35°以下或55°以下90°以下為佳,以0°以上30°以下或60°以上90°以下為較佳,以0°以上25°以下或65°以上90°以下為更佳,以0°以上且未滿15°或超過75°而在90°以下為又更佳,以0°以上10°以下或80°以上90°以下為最佳,壓電性高分子包含具有將配向軸設為3軸之時之壓電常數d14之絕對值為0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值的結晶性高分子作為主成分的構造體。並且,該壓電性高分子以下述構造體為更佳,包含:含有壓電常數d14之值為正的結晶性高分子作為主成分的P體,和含有負的結晶性高分子作為主成分的N體,針對該構造體之中心軸持有1cm之長度的部分,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向的該P體之質量設為ZP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之該P體之質量設為SP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向之該N體之質量設為ZN,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之該N體之質量設為SN,且將(ZP+SN)和(SP+ZN)中之小的一方設為T1,大的一方設為T2時,T1/T2之值超過0.8,尤其係超過0.8而在1.0以下,或超過0.9,尤其係超過0.9而在1.0以下。 [0110] 另外,d14之值雖然依成型條件或純度及測量環境不同而表示不同的值,但是在本發明中,測量實際使用之壓電性高分子中之結晶性高分子之結晶化度及結晶配向度,使用該結晶性高分子作成具有與此同等之結晶化度及結晶配向度之單軸延伸薄膜,若其薄膜之d14之絕對值在實際使用之溫度中顯示0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值時即可,作為本實施型態之壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子,並不限定於後述般的特定結晶性高分子。薄膜樣本之d14之測量可以採用眾知的各種方法,但是例如將在薄膜樣本之兩面蒸鍍金屬使成為電極的樣本,切割成在從延伸方向傾斜45度之方向具有4邊的長方形,藉由測量於在其長邊方向施加拉伸負載之時,在兩面之電極產生的電荷,可以測量出d14之值。 [0111] 於作為本發明之壓電性纖維,使用含有聚乳酸作為主成分之纖維的情況下,聚乳酸中之乳酸單元以90莫耳%以上為佳,以95莫耳%以上為較佳,以98莫耳%以上為更佳。 [0112] 另外,編織狀壓電元件201中,只要達成本發明之目的,即使在鞘部202與壓電性纖維A以外之其他纖維組合進行混纖等亦可,即使在芯部203與導電性纖維B以外之其他纖維組合而進行混纖等亦可。 [0113] 導電性纖維B之芯部203和編織狀之壓電性纖維A之鞘部202和被覆鞘部202之導電層204所構成的編織狀壓電元件之長度並不特別限定。例如,即使其編織狀壓電元件係在製造中連續性地被製造,之後,切斷成之後所需之長度而加以利用亦可。編織狀壓電元件之長度為1mm~10m,以5mm~2m為佳,以1cm~1m為較佳。當長度過短時,失去纖維形狀亦即便利性,再者,當長度過長時,則會出現需要考量導電性纖維B之電阻值。 以下,針對各構成予以詳細說明。 [0114] (導電性纖維) 作為導電性纖維B,若為表示導電性之纖維即可,使用眾知的所有纖維。作為導電性纖維B,可舉出例如金屬纖維、由導電性高分子所構成之纖維、碳纖維、使纖維狀或粒狀之導電性填料分散之高分子所構成的纖維,或在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的纖維。作為在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的方法,可舉出金屬塗佈、導電性高分子塗佈、導電性纖維之捲繞等。其中,從導電性、耐久性、柔軟性等之觀點來看,以金屬塗佈為佳。作為塗佈金屬之具體性方法,雖然可舉出蒸鍍、濺鍍、電解鍍敷、無電解鍍敷等,但是從生產性等之觀點來看,以鍍敷為佳。如此被鍍敷金屬的纖維可以稱為金屬鍍敷纖維。 [0115] 作為被塗佈金屬之基底的纖維,不管有無導電性可以使用眾知之纖維,例如除聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺纖維等之再生纖維。基底的纖維並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知的纖維,即使組合該些纖維而加以使用亦可。 [0116] 被塗佈於基底之纖維的金屬表示導電性,只要達到本發明之效果,即使使用任一者亦可。例如,可以使用金、銀、鉑、銅、鎳、錫、鉛、鈀、氧化銦錫、硫化銅等,及該些混合物或合金等。 [0117] 當導電性纖維B使用具有彎曲耐性之被施予金屬塗佈的有機纖維時,導電性纖維斷裂之情形非常少,作為使用壓電元件之感測器的耐久性或安全性優良。 [0118] 導電性纖維B即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。以電特性之長條穩定性之觀點來看以多纖絲為佳。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5000μm,以2μm~100μm為佳。以3μm~50μm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,作為纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以5條~500條為較佳,以10條~100條為更佳。但是,導電性纖維B之纖度、條數係於製作編織之時所使用的芯部203之纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的導電性纖維B。在此,芯部203係設為即使在使用導電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0119] 當纖維之直徑小時,強度下降,變得難以操作,再者,在直徑大之情況下,犧牲了可撓性。作為導電性纖維B之剖面形狀,從壓電元件之設計及製造之觀點來看以圓或橢圓為佳,但是並不限定於此。 [0120] 再者,為了有效率地取出來自壓電性高分子之電輸出,以電阻低為佳,作為體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若為能取得在電訊號之檢測上足夠的強度時,導電性纖維B之電阻率則不限於此。 [0121] 導電性纖維B從本發明之用途來看必須有對重複彎曲或扭轉這樣動作的耐性。作為其指標,結節強度以較大者為佳。結節強度可以以JIS L1013 8.6之方法來測量。作為適合本發明之結節強度之程度,以0.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以1.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以1.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。再者,作為另外的指標,彎曲剛性以較小者為佳。彎曲剛性一般係以加多科技(KATO TECH)(股)製KES-FB2純彎曲試驗機等之測量裝置來測定。作為適合於本發明之彎曲剛性的程度,以較東邦帝納克斯(Toho Tenax)(股)製的碳纖維“TENAX”(註冊商標)HTS40-3K小為佳。具體而言,導電性纖維之彎曲剛性為0.05×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為佳,以0.02×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為較佳,以0.01×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為更佳。 [0122] (壓電性纖維) 作為壓電性纖維A之材料亦即壓電性高分子,雖然可以利用聚偏二氟乙烯或聚乳酸般之表示壓電性的高分子,但是在本實施型態中,如上述般,壓電性纖維A以包含將配向軸設為3軸之時的壓電常數d14之絕對值高的結晶性高分子,尤其係聚乳酸作為主成分為佳。聚乳酸係於例如熔融紡紗係在熔融紡紗後藉由延伸而容易配向而顯示壓電性,於不需要在聚偏二氟乙烯等所必要的電場配向處理之點,生產性優異。但是,此並非意圖排除實施本發明之時使用聚偏二氟乙烯之外的壓電性材料。 [0123] 作為聚乳酸,根據其結晶構造,可雖有將L-乳酸、L-乳酸交酯予以聚合所成之聚-L-乳酸,將D-乳酸、D-乳酸交酯予以聚合所成之聚-D-乳酸,還有由該些混成構造所成之立體絡合聚乳酸等,但是若為表示壓電性者時,則皆可利用。以壓電率高之觀點來看,以聚-L-乳酸、聚-D-乳酸為佳。聚-L-乳酸、聚-D-乳酸由於各自對於相同的應力,極化成為相反,故亦可按照目的來組合該些而加以使用。 [0124] 聚乳酸之光學純度以99%以上為佳,以99.3%以上為較佳,以99.5%以上為更佳。有當光學純度未滿99%時,壓電率明顯下降之情況,有藉由壓電性纖維A之形狀變化難以取得充分的電訊號之情況。尤其,壓電性纖維A包含聚-L-乳酸或聚-D-乳酸作為主成分,該些光學純度以99%以上為佳。 [0125] 以聚乳酸為主成分之壓電性纖維A在製造時延伸,於其纖維軸方向作單軸配向。並且,壓電性纖維A不僅在其纖維軸方向作單軸配向,以包含聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為佳,以包含單軸配向的聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為更佳。因為,藉由聚乳酸藉由其結晶性高及單軸配向,表示大的壓電性,d14之絕對值變高之故。 [0126] 結晶性及單軸配向性係藉由均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)求出。作為本發明之壓電性纖維A,以均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)滿足下式(1)為佳。在未滿足上述式(1)之情況下,結晶性及/或單軸配向性不充分,有電訊號對動作的輸出值下降,或訊號對特定方向之動作的敏感度下降之虞。上述式(1)之左邊的值以0.28以上為較佳,以0.3以上為更佳。在此,各值依照下述求出。 [0127] 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo : 針對均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo ,從廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所致的結晶構造解析求出。在廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)中,使用理學(Rigaku)公司製ultrax18型X射線繞射裝置,而藉由穿透法,利用以下條件將樣本之X射線繞射圖形記錄於影像板。 X射線源:Cu-Kα射線(共焦鏡) 輸出:45kV×60mA 縫隙:1st:1mmΦ、2nd:0.8mmΦ 攝影長度:120mm 累計時間:10分鐘 樣本:將35mg之聚乳酸纖維併紗使成為3cm之纖維束。 在所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,在方位角求出全散射強度Itotal,在此,求出在2θ=16.5°、18.5°、24.3°附近出現的來自均聚乳酸結晶的各繞射峰值之積分強度的總和ΣIHMi。從該些值依照下式(2),求出均乳酸結晶化度Xhomo 。 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo (%)=ΣIHMi /Itotal ×100 (2) 另外,ΣIHMi 係藉由在全散射強度中減去背景或非晶所致的漫散散射而算出。 [0128] (2)結晶配向度Ao: 針對結晶配向度Ao,在藉由上述廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,針對出現在動徑方向的2θ=16.5°附近的來自均聚乳酸結晶之繞射峰值,取相對於方位角(°)的強度分布,從所取得的分布曲線之半值寬度的總計ΣWi (°)由下式(3)算出。 結晶配向度Ao(%)=(360-ΣWi )÷360×100 (3) [0129] 另外,因聚乳酸係加水分解比較快的聚酯,故在耐濕熱性有問題之情況下,即使添加眾知的異氰酸酯化合物、噁唑啉化合物、環氧化合物、碳二亞胺化合物等之加水分解防止劑亦可。再者,即使因應所需,添加磷酸系化合物等之氧化防止劑、可塑劑、光劣化防止劑等而進行物性改良亦可。 [0130] 壓電性纖維A即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5mm,以5μm~2mm為佳,以10μm~1mm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,其單絲徑為0.1μm~5mm,以2μm~100μm較佳,以3μm~50μm更佳。作為多纖絲之纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以50條~50000條為較佳,以100條~20000條為更佳。但是,針對壓電性纖維A之纖度或條數,係於製作編織之時的每一個載體的纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的壓電線纖維A。在此,設為即使一個載體中,使用壓電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0131] 為了使如此之壓電性高分子成為壓電性纖維A,只要達到本發明之效果,可以採用用以從高分子成為纖維化之眾知方法中之任一者。例如,可以採用將壓電性高分子擠壓成型而進行纖維化之手法、將壓電性高分子予以熔融紡紗而進行纖維化之手法、藉由乾式或濕式紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、藉由靜電紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、於形成薄膜之後切細的手法等。該些紡紗條件若因應所採用的壓電性高分子而適用眾知的手法即可,通常若採用工業上容易生產的熔融紡紗法即可。並且,於形成纖維之後,延伸所形成的纖維。依此,形成單軸延伸配向並且包含結晶的顯示大壓電性的壓電性纖維A。 [0132] 再者,壓電性纖維A係於使如上述般所製作出的纖維成為編織之前,進行染色、撚紗、合線、熱處理等之處理。 [0133] 並且,因壓電性纖維A有於形成編織之時纖維彼此摩擦斷線,或產生起毛之情況下,故以其強度和耐摩耗性比較高者為佳,強度以1.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以2.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以3.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。耐摩耗性可以藉由JIS L1095 9.10.2 B法等進行評估,摩擦次數以100次以上為佳,以1000次以上為較佳,以5000次以上為更佳,以10000次以上為最佳。用以提升耐摩耗性之方法並不特別限定,可以使用眾知的所有方法,例如,可以提升結晶化度、或添加微粒子,或進行表面加工。再者,於加工成編織之時,亦可以在纖維上塗佈潤滑劑而降低摩擦。 [0134] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率和上述導電性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以後述之沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及導電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(c)以滿足下式(4)為佳。上述式(4)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0135] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率以與導電性纖維以外之纖維,例如絕緣性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及絕緣性纖維之沸水收縮率S(i)以滿足下式(5)為佳。上述式(5)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0136] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率較小為佳。在例如以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之收縮率以15%以下為佳,以10%以下為較佳,以5%以下為更佳,以3%以下為最佳。作為降低收縮率之手段,可以適用眾知之所有方法,例如藉由熱處理提升非晶部之配向緩和或結晶化度,依此可以降低收縮率,實施熱處理之時序並不特別限定,可舉出延伸後、撚紗後、編織化後、布帛化後等。另外,上述沸水收縮率用以下之方法進行測定。以外框周圍1.125m之檢布機製作捲數20次的絞紗,施加0.022cN/dtex之負載,吊在刻度板上測量初期的絞紗長度L0。之後,將該絞紗在100℃之沸騰水浴中進行30分鐘處理後,放置冷卻,再次施加上述負載,吊在刻度板,測量收縮後的絞紗長度L。使用測量出的L0及L,藉由下述式(6)計算沸水收縮率。 沸水收縮率=(L0-L)/L0×100(%) (6) [0137] (被覆) 導電性纖維B,即是芯部203係以壓電性纖維A,即是編織狀之鞘部202被覆表面。被覆導電性纖維B之鞘部202之厚度以1μm~10mm為佳,以5μm~5mm為較佳,以10μm~3mm為更佳,以20μm~1mm為最佳。當過薄時會有在強度之點上出現問題之情況,再者,當過厚時會有編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難變形之情況。另外,在此所稱鞘部202係指與芯部203鄰接之層。 [0138] 在編織狀壓電元件201中,鞘部202之壓電性纖維A之總纖度,以芯部203之導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/2倍以上、20倍以下為佳,以1倍以上、15倍以下為較佳,以2倍以上、10倍以下為更佳。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過少而導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有導電性纖維B接觸到接近的其他導電性纖維之虞。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過多而編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件201無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 在此所指的總纖度係構成鞘部202之壓電性纖維A所有之纖度的和,例如一般8股編織之情況下,成為8條纖維之纖度的總和。 [0139] 再者,在編織狀壓電元件201中,鞘部202之每一條壓電性纖維A的纖度,以導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/20倍以上、2倍以下為佳,以1/15倍以上、1.5倍以下為較佳,以1/10倍以上、1倍以下為更佳。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,壓電性纖維A過少,導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有壓電性纖維A切斷之虞。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,壓電性纖維A過粗而編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難以變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件201無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 [0140] 另外,導電性纖維B使用金屬纖維之情況,或將金屬纖維混纖在導電性纖維B或壓電性纖維A之情況下,纖度之比率並不限於上述。在本發明中,以接觸面積或被覆率,即是以面積及體積之觀點來看上述比率為重要之故。例如,在各個的纖維比重超過2之情況下,以纖維之平均剖面積之比率為上述纖度之比率為佳。 [0141] 雖然壓電性纖維A和導電性纖維B以盡量密接為佳,但是為了改良密接性,即使在導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之間設置錨定層或接合層等亦可。 [0142] 被覆之方法係採用將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀之方法。另外,壓電性纖維A之編織形狀,若可以對以施加的負載產生的應力輸出電訊號時,並不限定加以限定,以具有芯部203之8股編織或16股編織為佳。 [0143] 作為導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之形狀,雖然不特別限定,以盡量接近同心圓狀為佳。另外,作為導電性纖維B,使用多纖絲之情況下,壓電性纖維A若以導電性纖維B之多纖絲之表面(纖維周面)之至少一部分接觸之方式被覆即可,即使在構成多纖絲之所有纖絲表面(纖維周面)被覆壓電性纖維A亦可,即使不被覆亦可。壓電性纖維A朝構成導電性纖維B之多纖絲的內部之各纖絲的被覆狀態,若考慮作為壓電性元件之性能、操作性等,適當設定即可。 [0144] (導電層) 導電層204同時具有作為成為芯部203之導電性纖維之對極的電極的功能,和遮蔽芯部203之導電性纖維防止外部之電磁波,抑制在芯部203之導電性纖維產生之雜訊訊號的屏蔽的功能。因導電層204作為屏蔽發揮功能,故以被接地(連接於地面或電子電路之地線)為佳。依此,即使不在例如布帛狀壓電元件207之上下重疊電磁波屏蔽用之導電性之布帛,亦可以顯著地提升布帛狀壓電元件207之S/N比(訊號對雜音比)。作為導電層204之態樣,即使除塗佈之外,即使考慮薄膜、布帛、纖維之捲繞,再者組合該些亦可。 [0145] 形成導電層204之塗佈若使用包含表示導電性之物質者即可,使用眾知之所有者。例如,可舉出金屬、導電性高分子、使導電性填料分散的高分子。 [0146] 在藉由薄膜之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,使用導電性高分子、製膜使導電性填料分散之高分子而所取得之薄膜,再者,即使使用在表面設置具有導電性之層的薄膜亦可。 [0147] 藉由布帛之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,使用將後述導電性纖維206設為構成成分之布帛。 [0148] 藉由纖維之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,作為其手段,可考慮覆蓋物、編物、織物。再者,所使用之纖維為導電性纖維206,導電性纖維206即使與上述導電性纖維B相同種類亦可,即使為不同種類之導電性纖維亦可。作為導電性纖維206,可舉出例如金屬纖維、由導電性高分子所構成之纖維、碳纖維、使纖維狀或粒狀之導電性填料分散之高分子所構成的纖維,或在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的纖維。作為在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的方法,可舉出金屬塗佈、導電性高分子塗佈、導電性纖維之捲繞等。其中,從導電性、耐久性、柔軟性等之觀點來看,以金屬塗佈為佳。作為塗佈金屬之具體性方法,雖然可舉出蒸鍍、濺鍍、電解鍍敷、無電解鍍敷等,但是從生產性等之觀點來看,以鍍敷為佳。如此被鍍敷金屬的纖維可以稱為金屬鍍敷纖維。 [0149] 作為被塗佈金屬之基底的纖維,不管有無導電性可以使用眾知之纖維,例如除聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺纖維等之再生纖維。基底的纖維並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知的纖維,即使組合該些纖維而加以使用亦可。 [0150] 被塗佈於基底之纖維的金屬表示導電性,只要達到本發明之效果,即使使用任一者亦可。例如,可以使用金、銀、鉑、銅、鎳、錫、鉛、鈀、氧化銦錫、硫化銅等,及該些混合物或合金等。 [0151] 當導電性纖維206使用具有彎曲耐性之被施予金屬塗佈的有機纖維時,導電性纖維斷裂之情形非常少,作為使用壓電元件之感測器的耐久性或安全性優良。 [0152] 導電性纖維206即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。以電特性之長條穩定性之觀點來看以多纖絲為佳。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5000μm,以2μm~100μm為佳。以3μm~50μm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,作為纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以5條~500條為較佳,以10條~100條為更佳。 [0153] 當纖維之直徑小時,強度下降,變得難以操作,再者,在直徑大之情況下,犧牲了可撓性。作為導電性纖維206之剖面形狀,從壓電元件之設計及製造之觀點來看以圓或橢圓為佳,但是並不限定於此。 [0154] 再者,為了提高抑制雜訊訊號之效果,以電阻低為佳,作為體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以 10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若取得雜訊訊號之抑制效果時,電阻率則不限定於此。 [0155] 導電性纖維206從本發明之用途來看必須有對重複彎曲或扭轉這樣動作的耐性。作為其指標,結節強度以較大者為佳。結節強度可以以JIS L1013 8.6之方法來測量。作為適合本發明之結節強度之程度,以0.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以1.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以1.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。再者,作為另外的指標,彎曲剛性以較小者為佳。彎曲剛性一般係以加多科技(KATO TECH)(股)製KES-FB2純彎曲試驗機等之測量裝置來測定。作為適合於本發明之彎曲剛性的程度,以較東邦帝納克斯(Toho Tenax)(股)製的碳纖維“TENAX”(註冊商標)HTS40-3K小為佳。具體而言,導電性纖維之彎曲剛性為0.05×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為佳,以0.02×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為較佳,以0.01×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為更佳。 [0156] 再者,可以視為將芯部之導電體和電磁波屏蔽層之導電體作為2極之電極,夾住壓電性高分子(介電體)的電容器狀之壓電元件。為了有效地取出藉由變形產生在壓電性構造體之極化,作為該些電極間之絕緣電阻之值,當以3V之直流電壓測量之時,以1MΩ以上為佳,以10MΩ以上為較佳,以100MΩ以上為更佳。再者,即使針對解析對該些電極間供給1MHz之交流電壓之時的應答而所取得的等效串聯電阻之值Rs及等效串聯電容Cs之值,也因有效地取出被藉由變形產生在壓電性構造體之極化,應答性變佳,故在特定值之範圍內為佳。即是,Rs之值以1μΩ以上100kΩ以下為佳,以1mΩ以上10kΩ以下為較佳,以1mΩ以上1kΩ以下為更佳,作為Cs之值除以壓電性構造體之中心軸方向之長度(cm)之值,以0.1pF以上1000pF以下為佳,以0.2pF以上100pF以下為較佳,以0.4pF以上10pF以下為更佳。 [0157] 如上述般,在壓電性纖維A和由電極所構成之元件為佳之狀態下能夠動作之情況下,因解析對該些電極間供給1MHz之交流電壓之時之應答而所得的等效串聯電阻之值Rs及等效串聯電容Cs之值取得特定範圍內之值,亦以將該些值用於編織狀壓電元件之檢查為佳。再者,不僅藉由交流電壓之解析所得的Rs及Cs之值,亦可以藉由解析其他電壓的過渡應答,進行編織狀壓電元件之檢查。 [0158] (保護層) 即使在本發明之編織狀壓電元件201之最表面設置保護層亦可。該保護層係以絕緣性為佳,從可撓性之觀點來看以由高分子所構成為較佳。在保護層持有絕緣性之情況下,當然在此情況下會有連保護層一起變形,或在保護層上摩擦之情形,但是若係該些外力到達至壓電性纖維A,且可以誘發其極化者時,則不特別限定。作為保護層,並不限定於藉由高分子等之塗佈所形成者,即使為捲繞薄膜、布帛、纖維等亦可,或是即使為組合該些者亦可。 [0159] 作為保護層之厚度,雖然以越薄之厚度越容易將剪切應力傳達至壓電性纖維A,但是當過薄之時,因容易產生保護層本身被破壞等之問題,故以10nm~200μm為佳,以50nm~50μm較佳、以70nm~30μm更佳,以100nm~10μm最佳。藉由該保護層,亦可以形成壓電元件之形狀。 [0160] 並且,亦可以設置複數層由壓電性纖維所構成之層,或設置複數層用以取出訊號的由導電性纖維所構成之層。當然,該些保護層、由壓電性纖維所構成之層、由導電性纖維所構成之層,其順序及層數因應其目的適當決定。另外,作為捲繞之方法,可舉出在鞘部202之更外層形成編織構造,或覆蓋之方法。 [0161] 本發明之編織狀壓電元件201除了可以利用上述壓電效果所致的電訊號之輸出而檢測出變形或應力之外,藉由測量編織狀壓電元件201之芯部之導電性纖維B和導電層204之間的靜電電容變化,亦能夠檢測出被施加至編織狀壓電元件201之壓力所致的變形。並且,於組合使用複數條之編織狀壓電元件201之情況下,藉由測量各個編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204間之靜電電容變化,亦能夠檢測出朝編織狀壓電元件201施加的壓力所致的變形。 [0162] (絕緣性纖維) 在布帛狀壓電元件207,在編織狀壓電元件201(及導電性纖維210)以外之部分,可以使用絕緣性纖維。此時,絕緣性纖維以提升布帛狀壓電元件207之柔軟性為目的,可以使用具有伸縮性素材、形狀的纖維。 [0163] 如此一來,藉由在編織狀壓電元件201(及導電性纖維210)以外,配置絕緣性纖維,能夠提升布帛狀壓電元件207之操作性(例示:作為穿戴式感測器的活動容易性)。 [0164] 作為如此之絕緣性纖維,若為體積電阻率為106 Ω・cm以上時可以使用,以108 Ω・cm以上為較佳,以1010 Ω・cm以上為更佳。 [0165] 作為絕緣性纖維,例如除了聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺等之再生纖維。並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知之絕緣性纖維。並且,即使組合該些絕緣性纖維而加以使用亦可,即使與不具有絕緣性之纖維組合,而成為全體具有絕緣性之纖維亦可。 再者,亦可以使用眾知之所有剖面形狀之纖維。 [0166] (製造方法) 本發明之編織狀壓電元件201雖然以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆至少一條導電性纖維B之表面,但是作為其製造方法可舉出例如以下之方法。即是,以另外之工程製作導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A,將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀而被覆導電性纖維B的方法。在此情況下,以盡量接近於同心圓狀之方式被覆為佳。 [0167] 此情況下,以作為形成壓電性纖維A之壓電性高分子,以使用聚乳酸之情況為佳的紡紗、延伸條件而言,以熔融紡紗溫度為150℃~250℃為佳,延伸溫度為40℃~150℃為佳,延伸倍率為1.1倍至5.0倍為佳,結晶化溫度為80℃~170℃為佳。 [0168] 作為捲繞在導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。再者,作為捲繞在壓電性纖維A之導電性纖維B,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。 [0169] 作為被覆之較佳型態,可以藉由將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A編織成編狀,製作出管狀編織物(Tubular Braid)來被覆。更具體而言,可舉出具有芯部203之8股編織或16股編織。但是,例如即使將壓電性纖維A設為編織管般之型態,將導電性纖維B視為芯部,插入該編織管而予以被覆亦可。 [0170] 導電層204雖然藉由塗佈或纖維之捲繞而製造出,但是從容易製造之觀點來看,以纖維之捲繞為佳。作為纖維之捲繞方法,可考慮覆蓋物、編物、織物,即使藉由任一之方法製造亦可。 [0171] 藉由上述般之製造方法,可以取得以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆導電性纖維B之表面,並且在其周圍設置有導電層204之編織狀壓電元件201。 在此,在本發明之編織狀壓電元件中,芯部之直徑和由壓電性纖維所構成之層(鞘部)之厚度的關係非常重要。本發明之壓電元件以纖維狀原樣地被使用,雖然照理說編織成布帛狀,但是在使用時及加工時有芯部訊號線和屏蔽層(導電層)短路之情形。本發明者們精心研究之結果,芯部之半徑Rc和由壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度d必須有d/Rc≧1.0之關係。 [0172] 假設在以曲率R彎曲編織狀壓電元件之情況下,元件之中心成為基準線而彎曲時,芯部表面之變形率成為 (R+Rc)/R。 例如,在曲率半徑R=2mm之情況下,Rc=0.2mm之時,變形率為1.1,在彎曲之外側,伸長10%,在彎曲之內側,鬆弛10%。此時,編織的壓電性纖維所構成之層的編織孔紋混亂而有形成屏蔽層之層和芯部之訊號線短路之情況。在此,就算變形而導致壓電性纖維所構成的層混亂,亦不會使屏蔽層與芯部之訊號線造成短路,由壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度與芯部之關係需要滿足以下之條件。 [0173] 編織狀壓電元件之實用上之芯部表面之變形以抑制成20%程度為佳,因此,也幾乎由芯部之粗度意義明確地決定實用上之曲率半徑。並且,換一種說法,在此情況下也幾乎意義明確地決定用以使不會造成短路的由壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度。即是,以Rc>R/20為佳,以Rc>R/10為較佳。並且,d/Rc以1.0以上為佳,以1.2以上為較佳,以1.5以上為更佳。 [0174] 再者,壓電性纖維所構成之層即使疊層複數圈壓電性纖維亦可。即使複數圈疊層為相同厚度,亦有變得難以短路之傾向,將疊層次數設為n之情況下,d/Rc×n以0.8以上為佳,以1.0以上為較佳,以1.2以上為更佳。 另外,在短路這樣的點,以壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度越厚越佳,但是從編織狀壓電元件之觀點來看,越細操作性越佳,故以使屏蔽層變薄為佳。 [0175] 在此,編織狀壓電元件之芯部的半徑Rc,和由壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度d,從圖11所示之剖面的顯微鏡攝影畫像算出成下述般。另外,針對剖面之觀察,即使使低黏性之瞬間接合劑「Aron Alpha EXTRA2000」(東亞合成)染入編織狀壓電元件並使固化之後,切出與編織之長軸垂直的剖面而攝影剖面照片亦可。芯部之半徑Rc係如圖11-1所示般,設為由芯部之纖維束所構成之最大的圓X之半徑,和完全包含該纖維束之最小的圓Y之半徑的平均值。由壓電性纖維所構成之層的厚度d,如圖11-2所示般,設為從僅由包含該芯部之壓電性纖維之纖維束所構成之最大的圓X’之半徑,和完全包含該纖維束之最小的圓Y’之半徑的平均值,減去該芯部之半徑Rc的值。 [0176] (布帛狀壓電元件) 圖12為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件的布帛狀壓電元件之構成例的示意圖。 布帛狀壓電元件207具備包含至少一條編織狀壓電元件201之布帛208。布帛208係構成布帛之纖維(包含編織)之至少一條為編織狀壓電元件201,編織狀壓電元件201只要能夠發揮作為壓電元件之功能,就無任何限定,即使為任何編織物亦可。對於製成布狀,只要達成本發明之目的,就算係與其他纖維(包含編織)組合,而進行交織、交編等亦可。當然,即使將編織狀壓電元件201當作構成布帛之纖維(例如,經紗或緯紗)之一部分使用亦可,即使在布帛上刺繡編織狀壓電元件201亦可,即使接合亦可。在圖12所示之例中,布帛狀壓電元件207係配置至少一條編織狀壓電元件201及絕緣性纖維209作為經紗,交互配置導電性纖維210及絕緣性纖維209作為緯紗的平織物。導電性纖維210即使為與導電性纖維B同一種亦可,即使為不同種之導電性纖維亦可,再者針對絕緣性纖維209於後述。另外,即使絕緣性纖維209及/或導電性纖維210之全部或一部分為編織型態亦可。 [0177] 在此情況下,當由於布帛狀壓電元件207彎曲等而變形之時,因編織狀壓電元件201也隨著該變形而變形,故藉由從編織狀壓電元件201被輸出的電訊號,可以檢測出布帛狀壓電元件207之變形。而且,因布帛狀壓電元件207可以當作布帛(編織物)使用,故可以適用於例如衣類形狀之穿戴式感測器。 [0178] 再者,在圖12所示之布帛狀壓電元件207中,導電性纖維210與編織狀壓電元件201交叉而接觸。因此,導電性纖維210與編織狀壓電元件201之至少一部分交叉而接觸,且覆蓋此,可以從外部觀看到欲朝編織狀壓電元件201之電磁波的至少一部分被遮蔽。如此之導電性纖維210具有藉由被接地(earth),減輕電磁波對編織狀壓電元件201的影響之功能。即是,導電性纖維210可以當作編織狀壓電元件201之電磁波屏蔽而發揮功能。依此,即使不在例如布帛狀壓電元件207之上下重疊電磁波屏蔽用之導電性之布帛,亦可以顯著地提升布帛狀壓電元件207之S/N比。在此情況下,從電磁波屏蔽之觀點來看,以與編織狀壓電元件201交叉之緯紗(在圖12之情況下)之導電性纖維210之比率越高越佳。具體而言,以形成布帛208之纖維,並且與編織狀壓電元件201交叉之纖維中之30%以上為導電性纖維為佳,40%以上較佳,50%以上更佳。如此一來,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,藉由放入導電性纖維作為構成布帛之纖維之至少一部分,可以成為附有電磁波屏蔽之布帛狀壓電元件207。 [0179] 作為織物之織組織,可例示平織、斜紋織、緞紋織等之三原組織、變化組織、經二重織、緯二重織等之單二重組織、經絨等。編物之種類即使為圓編物(緯編物)亦可,即使為經編物亦可。作為圓編物(緯編物)之組織,較佳可例示平編、羅紋編、兩面編、反針編、掛針編、浮線編、半畔編、紗羅編、添毛編等。作為經編組織,可例示單面經編平織編、單面經編緞針編、雙面經編絨編、經絨-經平編、起絨編、提花編等。層數亦可以單層,亦可以為2層以上之多層。而且,即使為由割毛織及/或毛圈織所成之立毛部與基底組織部所構成的立毛織物、立毛編物亦可。 [0180] (複數的壓電元件) 再者,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,亦能夠排列複數編織狀壓電元件201而加以使用。作為排列方式,例如作為經紗或緯紗,即使全部使用編織狀壓電元件201亦可,即使每數條或一部分使用編織狀壓電元件201亦可。再者,即使某部分使用編織狀壓電元件201作為經紗,其他部分使用編織狀壓電元件201作為緯紗亦可。 [0181] 如此一來,於排列複數條編織狀壓電元件201而形成布帛狀壓電元件207之時,因編織狀壓電元件201在表面不具有電極,故有可以在寬範圍下選擇其排列方式、編織方式之優點。 [0182] 再者,於使用排列複數編織狀壓電元件201之情況下,因導電性纖維B間之距離短,故在電訊號之取出上具有效率。 [0183] (壓電元件之適用技術) 因本發明之編織狀壓電元件201或布帛狀壓電元件207般之壓電元件即使為任一態樣,亦可以輸出對表面的接觸、壓力、形狀變化作為電訊號,故可以當作檢測出被施加至其壓電元件之應力之大小及/或被施加的位置的感測器(裝置)予以利用。再者,亦可以將該電訊號當作用以使其他裝置運轉之電力源或蓄電等之發電元件來使用。具體而言,可舉出因用於人、動物、機器人、機械等自發性運動者之可動部而發電,因鞋底、敷物、受到來自外部的壓力之構造物的表面所致的發電,因流體中的形狀變化而發電等。再者,由於藉由流體中的形狀變化而發出電訊號,亦能夠使吸附流體中的帶電性物質或抑制附著。 [0184] 圖6為表示具備本發明之壓電元件112之裝置111的方塊圖。裝置111具備壓電元件112(例示:編織狀壓電元件201、布帛狀壓電元件207),和以任意選擇,放大因應被施加之壓力而從壓電元件112被輸出的電訊號之放大手段113,和輸出以該任意選擇之放大手段113被放大之電訊號的輸出手段114,和將從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號發送至外部機器(無圖示)的發送手段115之電路。若使用該裝置111時,根據朝壓電元件112之表面的接觸、壓力、形狀變化而被輸出之電訊號,以外部機器(無圖示)的運算處理,可以檢測出被施加至壓電元件之應力之大小及/或被施加的位置。 [0185] 任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115即使以例如軟體程式形式構築亦可,或是以各種電子電路和軟體程式之組合構築亦可。例如,在運算處理裝置(無圖示)被安裝該軟體程式,運算處理裝置依照該軟體程式動作,依此實現各部之功能。再者,或是,即使將任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115,作為寫入實現該些各部功能之軟體程式的半導體積體電路而加以實現亦可。另外,使發送手段115所致之發送方式成為藉由無線或有線,若因應所構成之感測器而適當決定即可。或是,即使在裝置111內,設置根據從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號,運算被施加至壓電元件112之應力的大小及/或被施加之位置的運算手段(無圖示)亦可。 [0186] 再者,不僅放大手段,即使組合除去雜訊之手段或與其他訊號組合而進行處理之手段等之眾知的訊號處理手段而加以使用亦可。該些手段之連接順序可因應目的而適當變更。當然,即使將從壓電元件112被輸出之電訊號原樣地朝外部機器發送之後,進行訊號處理亦可。 [0187] 圖13為表示具備與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件之裝置之構成例的示意圖。圖13之放大手段113相當於參照圖6而說明者,針對圖6之輸出手段114及發送手段115,在圖13省略圖示。在構成具備編織狀壓電元件201之裝置的情況下,放大手段113之輸入端子連接從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線,接地(earth)端子連接編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204。例如,如圖13所示般,在編織狀壓電元件201中,將從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使編織狀壓電元件201的導電性204接地(earth)。 [0188] 圖14~16為表示具備與實施型態有關之編織布帛狀壓電元件之裝置之構成例的示意圖。圖14~16之放大手段113相當於參照圖6而說明者,針對圖6之輸出手段114及發送手段115,在圖14~16省略圖示。在構成具備布帛狀壓電元件207之裝置之情況下,放大手段113之輸入端子連接從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203(以導電性纖維B所形成)而來的拉出線,接地(earth)端子與連接於編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204或布帛狀壓電元件207之導電性纖維210或放大手段113之輸入端子的編織狀壓電元件201不同的編織狀壓電元件。例如,如圖14所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,將從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使編織狀壓電元件201的導電層204接地(earth)。再者例如,如圖15所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,將從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使與編織狀壓電元件201交叉而接觸的導電性纖維210接地(earth)。再者,例如圖16所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207排列複數編織狀壓電元件201之情況下,將從一條編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,將從與該編織狀壓電元件201排列之另外的編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線予以接地(earth)。 [0189] 當在編織狀壓電元件201產生變形時,壓電性纖維A變形而產生極化。受到壓電性纖維A之極化產生的正負各電荷之配列的影響,在來自形成編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203的導電性纖維B的拉出線上,產生電荷之移動。在來自導電性纖維B的拉出線上,電荷的移動出現微小的電訊號(即是電流)的流動。放大手段113放大該電訊號,輸出手段114輸出在放大手段113被放大之電訊號,發送手段115係將從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號發送至外部機器(無圖示)。 [0190] 本發明之裝置111具有柔軟性,因即使在編織狀及布帛狀中之任一型態亦可以使用,故可想像非常寬範圍的用途。作為本發明之裝置111之具體例,可舉出成為帽子、手套、襪子等的穿著衣服、支撐物、手帕狀等之形狀的觸控面板,作為對於人或動物之表面感壓感測器,例如檢測成為手套、帶體、支撐物等之形狀的關節部之彎曲、扭轉、伸縮的感測器。例如當使用於人時,檢測接觸或動作,可使用作為醫療用途等的關節等之動作的資訊收集、娛樂用途、使用於移動失去的組織或機器人之介面。另外,可使用作為模仿動物或人型的布製玩偶或機器人之表面感壓感測器、檢測關節部的彎曲、扭轉、伸縮之感測器。還有,可使用作為床單或枕頭等之寢具、鞋底、手套、椅子、敷物、袋子、旗等之表面感壓感測器或形狀變化感測器 [0191] 另外,本發明之裝置111因係編織狀或布帛狀,且具有柔軟性,故藉由貼附或被覆於所有構造物的全體或一部分之表面,可作為表面感壓感測器、形狀變化感測器使用。 [0192] 而且,本發明之裝置111因僅以摩擦編織狀壓電元件201之表面就可以產生充分的電訊號,故可用於觸控感測器般之觸控式輸入裝置或指向裝置等。再者,因藉由以編織狀壓電元件201擦拭被測量物之表面,可以取得被測量物之高度方向之位置資訊或形狀資訊,故可以用於表面形狀測量等。 [0193] 以下,針對第3發明予以詳細說明。 (編織狀壓電元件) 在與第3發明有關之編織狀壓電元件中,可以使用與第1發明有關之構造體中之壓電性高分子被配置成圓筒形,在該圓筒形之中心軸之位置配置有由導電性纖維所構成之導電體的元件,亦即壓電性高分子作為壓電性纖維編織成編織狀被配置在導電性纖維之周圍的元件。以下,針對與第3發明有關之編織狀壓電元件予以詳細說明。 [0194] 圖10為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件之構成例的示意圖。 編織狀壓電元件201具備以導電性纖維B所形成的芯部203,和以被覆芯部203之方式以編織狀之壓電性纖維A所形成之鞘部202,和被覆鞘部202之導電層204。導電層204同時具有作為成為芯部203之導電性纖維之對極的電極的功能,和遮蔽芯部203之導電性纖維防止外部之電磁波,抑制在芯部203之導電性纖維產生之雜訊訊號的屏蔽的功能。 [0195] 導電層204所致的鞘部202之被覆率以25%以上為佳。在此,被覆率係以將導電層204投影至鞘部202之時的導電層204所含之導電性物質205之面積和鞘部202之表面積之比率,其值以25%以上為佳,以50%以上為較佳,以75%以上為更佳。導電層204之被覆率低於25%時,有無法充分發揮雜訊訊號之抑制效果之情況。於導電性物質205未朝導電層204之表面露出之情況下,例如將內含導電性物質205之纖維當作導電層204使用而被覆鞘部202之情況,可以將朝其纖維之鞘部202投影之時的面積和鞘部202之表面積之比率設為被覆率。 [0196] 導電性物質205係導電層204所含之導電性物質,相當於眾知之所有者。 [0197] 在編織狀壓電元件201中,在至少一條導電性纖維B之外周面緻密地捲繞多數壓電性纖維A。當在編織狀壓電元件201產生變形時,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生變形所致的應力,依此,在多數壓電性纖維A分別產生電場(壓電效應),其結果,在導電性纖維B產生與捲繞導電性纖維B之多數壓電性纖維A之電場重疊的電壓變化。即是,與不使用壓電性纖維A之編織狀的鞘部202的情況作比較,來自導電性纖維B的電訊號增大。依此,在編織狀壓電元件201中,即使藉由以比較小的變形產生的應力,能夠取出大的電訊號。另外,導電性纖維B即使為複數條亦可。 [0198] 編織狀壓電元件201從達成第3發明目的這樣的觀點來看,若為具有圖10所示之構成,則不特別限定,從對以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形選擇地輸出大的電訊號這樣的觀點來看,以具有下述構成為佳。 [0199] (對扭轉變形選擇性地輸出大的電訊號的編織狀壓電元件) 作為對以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形選擇性地輸出大的電訊號的編織狀壓電元件201,就以壓電性纖維A而言,係單軸配向的高分子之成型體,可以使用包含具有將配向軸設為3軸之時的壓電常數d14之絕對值為0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值的結晶性高分子作為主成分的壓電性高分子。在本發明中,「包含…作為主成分」係指佔構成成分之50質量%以上。再者,在本發明中,結晶性高分子係由1質量%以上之結晶部,和結晶部以外之非晶部所構成之高分子,結晶性高分子之質量係合計結晶部和非晶部的質量。另外,d14之值雖然依成型條件或純度及測量環境不同而表示不同的值,但是在本發明中,測量實際使用之壓電性高分子中之結晶性高分子之結晶化度及結晶配向度,使用該結晶性高分子作成具有與此同等之結晶化度及結晶配向度之單軸延伸薄膜,若其薄膜之d14之絕對值在實際使用之溫度中顯示0.1pC/N以上1000pC/N以下之值時即可,作為本實施型態之壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子,並不限定於後述般舉出的特定結晶性高分子。薄膜樣本之d14之測量可以採用眾知的各種方法,但是例如將在薄膜樣本之兩面蒸鍍金屬使成為電極的樣本,切割成在從延伸方向傾斜45度之方向具有4邊的長方形,藉由測量於在其長邊方向施加拉伸負載之時,在兩面之電極產生的電荷,可以測量出d14之值。 [0200] 再者,對以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形選擇性地輸出大的電訊號的編織狀壓電元件201中,中心軸之方向和壓電性高分子之配向方向構成的角度(配向角度θ)為0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下。於滿足該條件之時,藉由對編織狀壓電元件201賦予以中心軸為軸的扭轉變形(扭轉應力),可以效率佳地利用與壓電性高分子所含之結晶性高分子之壓電常數d14對應的壓電效果,可以在編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸側和外側有效地產生逆極性之電荷。從如此之觀點來看,相對於中心軸之方向的壓電性高分子之配向角度θ以0°以上35°以下或55°以上90°以下為佳,以0°以上30°以下或60°以上90°以下為較佳,以0°以上25°以下或65°以上90°以下為更佳,以0°以上未滿15°或超過75°而在90°以下又更佳。壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ超過0°而未滿90°之情況下,壓電性高分子之配向方向描繪出螺旋。 [0201] 再者,藉由如此地配置壓電性高分子,可以成為相對於摩擦編織狀壓電元件201之表面般的剪切變形,或彎曲中心軸的彎曲變形,或中心軸方向之伸縮變形,在編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸側和外側不會產生大的電荷,即是相對於以中心軸為軸的扭轉,選擇性地產生大的電荷之編織狀壓電元件201。 [0202] 在壓電性高分子之配向方向構成螺旋之情況,螺旋方向(S撚向或Z撚向)中之任一者,不會影響相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性。但是,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上40°以下之情況,和為50°以上90°以下之情況,相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性逆轉。再者,如聚-L-乳酸和聚-D-乳酸般,包含d14之編碼互相不同之結晶性高分子的壓電性高分子也係相對於扭轉變形產生的電荷之極性逆轉。因此,為了相對於扭轉變形在編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸側和外側有效率地產生逆極性之電荷,僅使用包含與d14之編碼相同之結晶性高分子作為主成分之壓電性高分子,壓電性高分子相對於編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸之方向的配向角度θ以僅達成0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下中之任一者為佳。 [0203] 配向角度θ儘可能地用下述之方法測量。攝影編織狀壓電元件201(相當於圖3中之壓電性構造體1)之側面照片,測量壓電性高分子2之螺旋間距HP。螺旋間距HP如圖3般,一條壓電性高分子2從表面旋轉到背面再次來到表面所需的中心軸方向之直線距離。再者,因應所需以接合劑固定構造之後,切割與編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸垂直的剖面而攝影照片,測量鞘部202所佔之部分的外側半徑Ro及內側半徑Ri。在剖面之外緣及內緣為橢圓形或扁平之圓形之情況下,將長徑和短徑之平均值設為Ro及Ri。從下式計算壓電性高分子相對於中心軸之方向的配向角度θ。但是,Rm=2(Ro3 -Ri3 )/3(Ro2 -Ri2 ),即是以剖面積加權平均的編織狀壓電元件201之半徑。 [0204] 在編織狀壓電元件201之側面照片中,壓電性高分子具有均勻之表面,壓電性高分子之螺旋間距無法判別之情況下,以通過中心軸之平面割斷以接合劑等固定的編織狀壓電元件201,朝與割斷面垂直之方向,以在足以通過中心軸之狹窄範圍穿透X射線之方式進行廣角X射線繞射分析,決定配向方向求取與中心軸的角度,設為θ。 [0205] 在與本發明有關的編織狀壓電元件201中,針對沿著壓電性高分子之配向方向而描繪的螺旋,同時存在使螺旋方向(S撚向或Z撚向)或螺旋間距不同的兩個以上之螺旋之情況下,針對各個的螺旋方向及螺旋之壓電性高分子,分別進行上述測量,任一者的螺旋方向及螺旋間距之壓電性高分子必須滿足上述條件。 [0206] 從相對於伸縮變形在編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸側和外側不會產生大的電荷之觀點來看,上述壓電性高分子包含:含有壓電常數d14之值為正的結晶性高分子作為主成分的P體,和含有負的結晶性高分子作為主成分的N體,針對編織狀壓電元件201之中心軸持有1cm之長度的部分,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向的P體之質量設為ZP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之P體之質量設為SP,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在Z撚向之N體之質量設為ZN,將配向軸捲成螺旋被配置在S撚向之N體之質量設為SN,且將(ZP+SN)和(SP+ZN)中之小的一方設為T1,大的一方設為T2時,T1/T2之值為超過0.8,尤其以超過0.8而在1.0以下為較佳,以超過0.9尤其係超過0.9而在1.0以下為更佳。在此,即使在不滿足上述T1/T2之值之情況下,壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上10°以下或80°以上90°以下之情況,比起超過10°未滿80°之情況,相對於伸縮變形產生的電荷量變小,其結果,相對於扭轉變形可以選擇性地產生電訊號為佳。 [0207] 於作為本發明之壓電性纖維,使用含有聚乳酸作為主成分之纖維的情況下,聚乳酸中之乳酸單元以90莫耳%以上為佳,以95莫耳%以上為較佳,以98莫耳%以上為更佳。 [0208] 另外,編織狀壓電元件201中,只要達成本發明之目的,即使在鞘部202與壓電性纖維A以外之其他纖維組合進行混纖等亦可,即使在芯部203與導電性纖維B以外之其他纖維組合而進行混纖等亦可。 [0209] 導電性纖維B之芯部203和編織狀之壓電性纖維A之鞘部202和被覆鞘部202之導電層204所構成的編織狀壓電元件之長度並不特別限定。例如,即使其編織狀壓電元件係在製造中連續性地被製造,之後,切斷成之後所需之長度而加以利用亦可。編織狀壓電元件之長度為1mm~10m,以5mm~2m為佳,以1cm~1m為較佳。當長度過短時,失去纖維形狀亦即便利性,再者,當長度過長時,則會出現需要考量導電性纖維B之電阻值。 [0210] 以下,針對各構成予以詳細說明。 [0211] (導電性纖維) 作為導電性纖維B,若為表示導電性之纖維即可,使用眾知的所有纖維。作為導電性纖維B,可舉出例如金屬纖維、由導電性高分子所構成之纖維、碳纖維、使纖維狀或粒狀之導電性填料分散之高分子所構成的纖維,或在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的纖維。作為在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的方法,可舉出金屬塗佈、導電性高分子塗佈、導電性纖維之捲繞等。其中,從導電性、耐久性、柔軟性等之觀點來看,以金屬塗佈為佳。作為塗佈金屬之具體性方法,雖然可舉出蒸鍍、濺鍍、電解鍍敷、無電解鍍敷等,但是從生產性等之觀點來看,以鍍敷為佳。如此被鍍敷金屬的纖維可以稱為金屬鍍敷纖維。 [0212] 作為被塗佈金屬之基底的纖維,不管有無導電性可以使用眾知之纖維,例如除聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺纖維等之再生纖維。基底的纖維並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知的纖維,即使組合該些纖維而加以使用亦可。 [0213] 被塗佈於基底之纖維的金屬表示導電性,只要達到本發明之效果,即使使用任一者亦可。例如,可以使用金、銀、鉑、銅、鎳、錫、鉛、鈀、氧化銦錫、硫化銅等,及該些混合物或合金等。 [0214] 當導電性纖維B使用具有彎曲耐性之被施予金屬塗佈的有機纖維時,導電性纖維斷裂之情形非常少,作為使用壓電元件之感測器的耐久性或安全性優良。 [0215] 導電性纖維B即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。以電特性之長條穩定性之觀點來看以多纖絲為佳。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5000μm,以2μm~100μm為佳。以3μm~50μm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,作為纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以5條~500條為較佳,以10條~100條為更佳。但是,導電性纖維B之纖度、條數係於製作編織之時所使用的芯部203之纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的導電性纖維B。在此,芯部203係設為即使在使用導電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0216] 當纖維之直徑小時,強度下降,變得難以操作,再者,在直徑大之情況下,犧牲了可撓性。作為導電性纖維B之剖面形狀,從壓電元件之設計及製造之觀點來看以圓或橢圓為佳,但是並不限定於此。 [0217] 再者,為了有效率地取出來自壓電性高分子之電輸出,以電阻低為佳,作為體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若為能取得在電訊號之檢測上足夠的強度時,導電性纖維B之電阻率則不限於此。 [0218] 導電性纖維B從本發明之用途來看必須有對重複彎曲或扭轉這樣動作的耐性。作為其指標,結節強度以較大者為佳。結節強度可以以JIS L1013 8.6之方法來測量。作為適合本發明之結節強度之程度,以0.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以1.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以1.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。再者,作為另外的指標,彎曲剛性以較小者為佳。彎曲剛性一般係以加多科技(KATO TECH)(股)製KES-FB2純彎曲試驗機等之測量裝置來測定。作為適合於本發明之彎曲剛性的程度,以較東邦帝納克斯(Toho Tenax)(股)製的碳纖維“TENAX”(註冊商標)HTS40-3K小為佳。具體而言,導電性纖維之彎曲剛性為0.05×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為佳,以0.02×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為較佳,以0.01×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為更佳。 [0219] (壓電性纖維) 作為壓電性纖維A之材料亦即壓電性高分子,雖然可以利用聚偏二氟乙烯或聚乳酸般之表示壓電性的高分子,但是在本實施型態中,如上述般,壓電性纖維A以包含將配向軸設為3軸之時的壓電常數d14之絕對值高的結晶性高分子,尤其係聚乳酸作為主成分為佳。聚乳酸係於例如在熔融紡紗後藉由延伸而容易配向而顯示壓電性,於不需要在聚偏二氟乙烯等所必要的電場配向處理之點,生產性優異。但是,此並非意圖排除實施本發明之時使用聚偏二氟乙烯之外的壓電性材料 [0220] 作為聚乳酸,根據其結晶構造,可雖有將L-乳酸、L-乳酸交酯予以聚合所成之聚-L-乳酸,將D-乳酸、D-乳酸交酯予以聚合所成之聚-D-乳酸,還有由該些混成構造所成之立體絡合聚乳酸等,但是若為表示壓電性者時,則皆可利用。以壓電率高之觀點來看,以聚-L-乳酸、聚-D-乳酸為佳。聚-L-乳酸、聚-D-乳酸由於各自對於相同的應力,極化成為相反,故亦可按照目的來組合該些而加以使用。 [0221] 聚乳酸之光學純度以99%以上為佳,以99.3%以上為較佳,以99.5%以上為更佳。有當光學純度未滿99%時,壓電率明顯下降之情況,有藉由壓電性纖維A之形狀變化難以取得充分的電訊號之情況。尤其,壓電性纖維A包含聚-L-乳酸或聚-D-乳酸作為主成分,該些光學純度以99%以上為佳。 [0222] 以聚乳酸為主成分之壓電性纖維A在製造時延伸,於其纖維軸方向作單軸配向。並且,壓電性纖維A不僅在其纖維軸方向作單軸配向,以包含聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為佳,以包含單軸配向的聚乳酸之結晶的纖維為更佳。因為,藉由聚乳酸藉由其結晶性高及單軸配向,表示大的壓電性,d14之絕對值變高之故。 [0223] 結晶性及單軸配向性係藉由均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)求出。作為本發明之壓電性纖維A,以均PLA結晶化度Xhomo (%)及結晶配向度Ao(%)滿足下式(1)為佳。在未滿足上述式(1)之情況下,結晶性及/或單軸配向性不充分,有電訊號對動作的輸出值下降,或訊號對特定方向之動作的敏感度下降之虞。上述式(1)之左邊的值以0.28以上為較佳,以0.3以上為更佳。在此,各值依照下述求出。 [0224] 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo : 針對均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo ,從廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所致的結晶構造解析求出。在廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)中,使用理學(Rigaku)公司製ultrax18型X射線繞射裝置,而藉由穿透法,利用以下條件將樣本之X射線繞射圖形記錄於影像板。 X射線源:Cu-Kα射線(共焦鏡) 輸出:45kV×60mA 縫隙:1st:1mmΦ、2nd:0.8mmΦ 攝影長度:120mm 累計時間:10分鐘 樣本:將35mg之聚乳酸纖維併紗使成為3cm之纖維束。 在所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,在方位角求出全散射強度Itotal,在此,求出在2θ=16.5°、18.5°、24.3°附近出現的來自均聚乳酸結晶的各繞射峰值之積分強度的總和ΣIHMi。從該些值依照下式(2),求出均乳酸結晶化度Xhomo 。 均聚乳酸結晶化度Xhomo (%)=ΣIHMi /Itotal ×100 (2) 另外,ΣIHMi 係藉由在全散射強度中減去背景或非晶所致的漫散散射而算出。 [0225] (2)結晶配向度Ao: 針對結晶配向度Ao,在藉由上述廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,針對出現在動徑方向的2θ=16.5°附近的來自均聚乳酸結晶之繞射峰值,取相對於方位角(°)的強度分布,從所取得的分布曲線之半值寬度的總計ΣWi (°)由下式(3)算出。 結晶配向度Ao(%)=(360-ΣWi )÷360×100 (3) [0226] 另外,因聚乳酸係加水分解比較快的聚酯,故在耐濕熱性有問題之情況下,即使添加眾知的異氰酸酯化合物、噁唑啉化合物、環氧化合物、碳二亞胺化合物等之加水分解防止劑亦可。再者,即使因應所需,添加磷酸系化合物等之氧化防止劑、可塑劑、光劣化防止劑等而進行物性改良亦可。 [0227] 壓電性纖維A即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5mm,以5μm~2mm為佳,以10μm~1mm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,其單絲徑為0.1μm~5mm,以2μm~100μm較佳,以3μm~50μm更佳。作為多纖絲之纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以50條~50000條為較佳,以100條~20000條為更佳。但是,針對壓電性纖維A之纖度或條數,係於製作編織之時的每一個載體的纖度、條數,以複數條之單絲(單纖絲)所形成的多纖絲也算成一條的壓電性纖維A。在此,設為即使一個載體中,使用導電性纖維之外的纖維的情況下,亦包含此的全體量。 [0228] 為了使如此之壓電性高分子成為壓電性纖維A,只要達到本發明之效果,可以採用用以從高分子成為纖維化之眾知方法中之任一者。例如,可以採用將壓電性高分子擠壓成型而進行纖維化之手法、將壓電性高分子予以熔融紡紗而進行纖維化之手法、藉由乾式或濕式紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、藉由靜電紡紗將壓電性高分子予以纖維化之手法、於形成薄膜之後切細的手法等。該些紡紗條件若因應所採用的壓電性高分子而適用眾知的手法即可,通常若採用工業上容易生產的熔融紡紗法即可。並且,於形成纖維之後,延伸所形成的纖維。依此,形成單軸延伸配向並且包含結晶的顯示大壓電性的壓電性纖維A。 [0229] 再者,壓電性纖維A係於使如上述般所製作出的纖維成為編織之前,進行染色、撚紗、合線、熱處理等之處理。 [0230] 並且,因壓電性纖維A有於形成編織之時纖維彼此摩擦斷線,或產生起毛之情況下,故以其強度和耐摩耗性比較高者為佳,強度以1.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以2.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以3.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。耐摩耗性可以藉由JIS L1095 9.10.2 B法等進行評估,摩擦次數以100次以上為佳,以1000次以上為較佳,以5000次以上為更佳,以10000次以上為最佳。用以提升耐摩耗性之方法並不特別限定,可以使用眾知的所有方法,例如,可以提升結晶化度、或添加微粒子,或進行表面加工。再者,於加工成編織之時,亦可以在纖維上塗佈潤滑劑而降低摩擦。 [0231] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率和上述導電性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以後述之沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及導電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(c)以滿足下式(4)為佳。上述式(4)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0232] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率以與導電性纖維以外之纖維,例如絕緣性纖維之收縮率之差較小為佳。當收縮率差大時,有由於製作編織後或製作布帛後之後處理工程或或實際使用時施加熱之時或時間經過變化,導致編織彎曲,或布帛之平坦性變差,壓電訊號變弱之情況。以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之沸水收縮率S(p)及絕緣性纖維之沸水收縮率S(i)以滿足下式(5)為佳。上述式(5)之左邊以5以下為較佳,若為3以下為更佳。 [0233] 再者,壓電性纖維之收縮率較小為佳。在例如以沸水收縮率使收縮率量化之情況下,壓電性纖維之收縮率以15%以下為佳,以10%以下為較佳,以5%以下為更佳,以3%以下為最佳。作為降低收縮率之手段,可以適用眾知之所有方法,例如藉由熱處理提升非晶部之配向緩和或結晶化度,依此可以降低收縮率,實施熱處理之時序並不特別限定,可舉出延伸後、撚紗後、編織化後、布帛化後等。另外,上述沸水收縮率用以下之方法進行測定。以外框周圍1.125m之檢布機製作20次的絞紗,施加0.022cN/dtex之負載,吊在刻度板上測量初期的絞紗長度L0。之後,將該絞紗在100℃之沸騰水浴中進行30分鐘處理後,放置冷卻,再次施加上述負載,吊在刻度板,測量收縮後的絞紗長度L。使用測量出的L0及L,藉由下述式(6)計算沸水收縮率。 沸水收縮率=(L0-L)/L0×100(%) (6) [0234] (被覆) 導電性纖維B,即是芯部203係以壓電性纖維A,即是編織狀之鞘部202被覆表面。被覆導電性纖維B之鞘部202之厚度以1μm~10mm為佳,以5μm~5mm為較佳,以10μm~3mm為更佳,以20μm~1mm為最佳。當過薄時會有在強度之點上出現問題之情況,再者,當過厚時會有編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難變形之情況。另外,在此所稱鞘部202係指與芯部203鄰接之層。 [0235] 在編織狀壓電元件201中,鞘部202之壓電性纖維A之總纖度,以芯部203之導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/2倍以上、20倍以下為佳,以1倍以上、15倍以下為較佳,以2倍以上、10倍以下為更佳。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過少而導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有導電性纖維B接觸到接近的其他導電性纖維之虞。當壓電性纖維A之總纖度對導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,包圍導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A過多而編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件201無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 在此所指的總纖度係構成鞘部202之壓電性纖維A所有之纖度的和,例如一般8股編織之情況下,成為8條纖維之纖度的總和。 [0236] 再者,在編織狀壓電元件201中,鞘部202之每一條壓電性纖維A的纖度,以導電性纖維B之總纖度之1/20倍以上、2倍以下為佳,以1/15倍以上、1.5倍以下為較佳,以1/10倍以上、1倍以下為更佳。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過小時,壓電性纖維A過少,導電性纖維B無法輸出充分的電訊號,並且有壓電性纖維A切斷之虞。當每一條壓電性纖維A之纖度相對於導電性纖維B之總纖度過大時,壓電性纖維A過粗而編織狀壓電元件201變硬變得難以變形。即是,即使在任一的情況下,編織狀壓電元件201無法作為感測器充分發揮功能。 [0237] 另外,導電性纖維B使用金屬纖維之情況,或將金屬纖維混纖在導電性纖維B或壓電性纖維A之情況下,纖度之比率並不限於上述。在本發明中,以接觸面積或被覆率,即是以面積及體積之觀點來看上述比率為重要之故。例如,在各個的纖維比重超過2之情況下,以纖維之平均剖面積之比率為上述纖度之比率為佳。 [0238] 雖然壓電性纖維A和導電性纖維B以盡量密接為佳,但是為了改良密接性,即使在導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之間設置錨定層或接合層等亦可。 [0239] 被覆之方法係採用將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀之方法。另外,壓電性纖維A之編織形狀,若可以對以施加的負載產生的應力輸出電訊號時,並不限定加以限定,以具有芯部203之8股編織或16股編織為佳。 [0240] 作為導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A之形狀,雖然不特別限定,以盡量接近同心圓狀為佳。另外,作為導電性纖維B,使用多纖絲之情況下,壓電性纖維A若以導電性纖維B之多纖絲之表面(纖維周面)之至少一部分接觸之方式被覆即可,即使在構成多纖絲之所有纖絲表面(纖維周面)被覆壓電性纖維A亦可,即使不被覆亦可。壓電性纖維A朝構成導電性纖維B之多纖絲的內部之各纖絲的被覆狀態,若考慮作為壓電性元件之性能、操作性等,適當設定即可。 [0241] (導電層) 導電層204同時具有作為成為芯部203之導電性纖維之對極的電極的功能,和遮蔽芯部203之導電性纖維防止外部之電磁波,抑制在芯部203之導電性纖維產生之雜訊訊號的屏蔽的功能。因導電層204作為屏蔽發揮功能,故以被接地(連接於地面或電子電路之地線)為佳。依此,即使不在例如布帛狀壓電元件207之上下重疊電磁波屏蔽用之導電性之布帛,亦可以顯著地提升布帛狀壓電元件207之S/N比(訊號對雜音比)。作為導電層204之態樣,即使除塗佈之外,即使考慮薄膜、布帛、纖維之捲繞,再者組合該些亦可。 [0242] 形成導電層204之塗佈若使用包含表示導電性之物質者即可,使用眾知之所有者。例如,可舉出金屬、導電性高分子、使導電性填料分散的高分子。 [0243] 在藉由薄膜之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,使用導電性高分子、製膜使導電性填料分散之高分子而所取得之薄膜,再者,即使使用在表面設置具有導電性之層的薄膜亦可。 [0244] 藉由布帛之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,使用將後述導電性纖維206設為構成成分之布帛。 [0245] 藉由纖維之捲繞形成導電層204之情況下,作為其手段,可考慮覆蓋物、編物、織物。再者,所使用之纖維為導電性纖維206,導電性纖維206即使與上述導電性纖維B相同種類亦可,即使為不同種類之導電性纖維亦可。作為導電性纖維206,可舉出例如金屬纖維、由導電性高分子所構成之纖維、碳纖維、使纖維狀或粒狀之導電性填料分散之高分子所構成的纖維,或在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的纖維。作為在纖維狀物之表面設置具有導電性之層的方法,可舉出金屬塗佈、導電性高分子塗佈、導電性纖維之捲繞等。其中,從導電性、耐久性、柔軟性等之觀點來看,以金屬塗佈為佳。作為塗佈金屬之具體性方法,雖然可舉出蒸鍍、濺鍍、電解鍍敷、無電解鍍敷等,但是從生產性等之觀點來看,以鍍敷為佳。如此被鍍敷金屬的纖維可以稱為金屬鍍敷纖維。 [0246] 作為被塗佈金屬之基底的纖維,不管有無導電性可以使用眾知之纖維,例如除聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺纖維等之再生纖維。基底的纖維並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知的纖維,即使組合該些纖維而加以使用亦可。 [0247] 被塗佈於基底之纖維的金屬表示導電性,只要達到本發明之效果,即使使用任一者亦可。例如,可以使用金、銀、鉑、銅、鎳、錫、鉛、鈀、氧化銦錫、硫化銅等,及該些混合物或合金等。 [0248] 當導電性纖維206使用具有彎曲耐性之被施予金屬塗佈的有機纖維時,導電性纖維斷裂之情形非常少,作為使用壓電元件之感測器的耐久性或安全性優良。 [0249] 導電性纖維206即使為綑束複數條纖絲的多纖絲,或為由纖絲一條所構成的單纖絲亦可。以電特性之長條穩定性之觀點來看以多纖絲為佳。在單纖絲(包含紡織絲)之情況下,其單絲徑為1μm~5000μm,以2μm~100μm為佳。以3μm~50μm為更佳。在多纖絲之情況下,作為纖絲數,以1條~100000條為佳,以5條~500條為較佳,以10條~100條為更佳。 [0250] 當纖維之直徑小時,強度下降,變得難以操作,再者,在直徑大之情況下,犧牲了可撓性。作為導電性纖維206之剖面形狀,從壓電元件之設計及製造之觀點來看以圓或橢圓為佳,但是並不限定於此。 [0251] 再者,為了提高雜訊訊號之抑制效果,以電阻低為佳,作為體積電阻率以10-1 Ω・cm以下為佳,以 10-2 Ω・cm以下為較佳,以10-3 Ω・cm以下為更佳。但是,若取得雜訊訊號之抑制效果時,電阻率則不限定於此。 [0252] 導電性纖維206從本發明之用途來看必須有對重複彎曲或扭轉這樣動作的耐性。作為其指標,結節強度以較大者為佳。結節強度可以以JIS L1013 8.6之方法來測量。作為適合本發明之結節強度之程度,以0.5cN/dtex以上為佳,以1.0cN/dtex以上為較佳,以1.5cN/dtex以上為更佳,以2.0cN/dtex以上為最佳。再者,作為另外的指標,彎曲剛性以較小者為佳。彎曲剛性一般係以加多科技(KATO TECH)(股)製KES-FB2純彎曲試驗機等之測量裝置來測定。作為適合於本發明之彎曲剛性的程度,以較東邦帝納克斯(Toho Tenax)(股)製的碳纖維“TENAX”(註冊商標)HTS40-3K小為佳。具體而言,導電性纖維之彎曲剛性為0.05×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為佳,以0.02×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為較佳,以0.01×10-4 N・m2 /m以下為更佳。 [0253] (保護層) 即使在與本發明有關之編織狀壓電元件201之最表面設置保護層亦可。該保護層係以絕緣性為佳,從可撓性之觀點來看以由高分子所構成為較佳。在保護層持有絕緣性之情況下,當然在此情況下會有連保護層一起變形,或在保護層上摩擦之情形,但是若係該些外力到達至壓電性纖維A,且可以誘發其極化者時,則不特別限定。作為保護層,並不限定於藉由高分子等之塗佈所形成者,即使為捲繞薄膜、布帛、纖維等亦可,或是即使為組合該些者亦可。再者,可以將後述與本發明有關之布帛當作保護層使用,從構成之簡化之點來看為佳。 [0254] 作為保護層之厚度,雖然以越薄之厚度越容易將剪切應力傳達至壓電性纖維A,但是當過薄之時,因容易產生保護層本身被破壞等之問題,故以10nm~200μm為佳,以50nm~50μm較佳、以70nm~30μm更佳,以100nm~10μm最佳。藉由該保護層,亦可以形成壓電元件之形狀。 [0255] 並且,亦可以設置複數層由壓電性纖維所構成之層,或設置複數層用以取出訊號的由導電性纖維所構成之層。當然,該些保護層、由壓電性纖維所構成之層、由導電性纖維所構成之層,其順序及層數因應其目的適當決定。另外,作為捲繞之方法,可舉出在鞘部202之更外層形成編織構造,或覆蓋之方法。 [0256] 本發明之編織狀壓電元件201除了可以利用上述壓電效果所致的電訊號之輸出而檢測出變形或應力之外,藉由測量編織狀壓電元件201之芯部之導電性纖維B和導電層204之間的靜電電容變化,亦能夠檢測出被施加至編織狀壓電元件201之壓力所致的變形。並且,於組合使用複數條之編織狀壓電元件201之情況下,藉由測量各個編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204間之靜電電容變化,亦能夠檢測出朝編織狀壓電元件201施加的壓電所致的變形。 [0257] (布帛狀壓電元件) 本發明之布帛狀壓電元件係至少一條編織狀壓電元件被固定在布帛。如此一來,不僅可以將布帛本身以加工成衣服等之期待形狀使成為裝置,亦可以縫製或黏貼在現成的衣服或構造體等之不具有感測器功能的基材上之各種方法來設置,使可以簡單方便地具有感測器功能。圖17為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件的布帛狀壓電元件之構成例的示意圖。 [0258] 在圖17之例中,布帛狀壓電元件207係至少一條編織狀壓電元件201被固定於布帛208。布帛208係構成布帛之纖維(包含編織)之至少一條為編織狀壓電元件201,編織狀壓電元件201只要能夠發揮作為壓電元件之功能,就無任何限定,即使為任何編織物亦可。對於製成布狀,只要達成本發明之目的,就算係與其他纖維(包含編織)組合,而進行交織、交編等亦可。當然,即使將編織狀壓電元件201當作構成布帛之纖維(例如,經紗或緯紗)之一部分使用亦可,即使在布帛上刺繡編織狀壓電元件201亦可,即使接合亦可。在圖17所示之例中,布帛狀壓電元件207係配置至少一條編織狀壓電元件201及絕緣性纖維209作為經紗,配置絕緣性纖維209作為緯紗的平織物。針對絕緣性纖維209於後述。另外,即使絕緣性纖維209之全部或一部分為編織型態亦可。 [0259] 在此情況下,當由於布帛狀壓電元件207彎曲等而變形之時,因編織狀壓電元件201也隨著該變形而變形,故藉由從編織狀壓電元件201被輸出的電訊號,可以檢測出布帛狀壓電元件207之變形。而且,因布帛狀壓電元件207可以當作布帛(編織物)使用,故可以適用於例如衣類形狀之穿戴式感測器。 [0260] 再者,在以部分性地以導電性纖維210置換圖17所示之布帛狀壓電元件207之緯紗之絕緣性纖維的構成(圖18)中,導電性纖維210與編織狀壓電元件201交叉而接觸。因此,導電性纖維210與編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204之至少一部分交叉而接觸,可以將如此之導電性纖維210連接至取代導電層204的電子電路。導電性纖維210即使與導電性纖維B同一種類亦可,即使為不同種類之導電性纖維亦可,即使其全部或一部分為編織型態亦可。 [0261] 在本發明之布帛狀壓電元件中,編織狀壓電元件對布帛之每5cm的拔出強度為0.1N以上。如此一來,因布帛之變形和編織狀壓電元件之變形的差成為最小限度,故使用藉由編織狀壓電元件之電訊號所檢測出之編織狀壓電元件之變形量,可以使推測布帛之變形之時的誤差成為最小化,亦可以提升再現性。編織狀壓電元件對布帛之每5cm的拔出強度未滿0.1N之情況下,例如即使引起布帛之伸縮變形,亦在編織狀壓電元件和布帛之間產生滑動,編織狀壓電元件未充分伸縮變形,藉由編織狀壓電元件之電訊號所檢測到之伸縮量明顯較布帛之伸縮量小,重現性低。從如此之觀點來看,編織狀壓電元件對布帛之每5cm之拔出強度以0.2N以上為佳,以0.3N以上為更佳,以0.4以上為特佳。另外,以拔出強度為編織狀壓電元件之強度以上為最佳。 [0262] 在本發明中之「編織狀壓電元件對布帛之每5cm的拔出強度」係以下述般之方式來決定。首先,在有編織狀壓電元件從布帛狀壓電元件露出之處的情況下,以拉伸試驗機之把持工件之一方把持露出之編織狀壓電元件,在離把持側的編織狀壓電元件被固定的端5cm之部分,切斷編織狀壓電元件及布帛狀壓電元件。將編織狀壓電元件被固定在布帛的5cm之部分之兩側的除了離編織狀壓電元件1mm以內之區域的部分,在編織狀壓電元件之長度方向涵蓋5cm以U字型之把持工件予以把持,且連接於拉伸試驗機之把持工件之另一方。再者,在該狀態下,以10mm/min之速度進行拉伸試驗,測量最大強度,設為拔出強度。另外,在編織狀壓電元件從布帛狀壓電元件露出之處未充分之情況下,若切斷布帛之一部分(編織狀壓電元件以外之部分)而使編織狀壓電元件露出,進行上述測量即可。另外,在難以將編織狀壓電元件被固定於布帛之部分的長度確保5cm之情況下,在任意長度之固定部分測量拔出強度,而換算成每5cm之強度亦可。 [0263] 本發明之布帛狀壓電元件係以構成布帛之纖維所致的編織狀壓電元件之被覆率在布帛之兩面皆超過30%為佳。如此一來,不僅編織狀壓電元件對布帛之拔出強度上升,布帛之變形和編織狀壓電元件之變形的差成為最小限度,可以使難以受到自外部的摩擦、熱、光等所致的損傷。從如此之觀點來看,以構成布帛之纖維所致的編織狀壓電元件之被覆率在布帛之兩面皆超過50%為較佳,以超過70%為更佳,以100%為最佳。 [0264] 構成布帛之纖維所致的編織狀壓電元件之被覆率,係在從布帛狀壓電元件之一方之面垂直觀察之時的畫像,算出相對於編織狀壓電元件之投影面積,藉由構成布帛之纖維遮蔽編織狀壓電元件之部分的面積比。即使針對從另一方之面的觀察畫像,也進行相同評估,在布帛之兩面,分別算出被覆率。在如此算出之情況下,通常之織物組織(平織、斜紋織或緞紋織等)所致的布帛中,雖然被覆率難以在兩面皆超過50%,但是藉由以平織或斜紋織組織變化組織進行編織之時,使用紡織紗或多纖絲,或提高與編織狀壓電元件正交之紗的密度,或使平行於編織狀壓電元件之紗的密度比較低,可以成為在布帛之兩面皆超過50%之被覆率。但是,因提高與編織狀壓電元件正交之紗的密度,故在過於降低與編織狀壓電元件正交之紗的張力之情況下,由於拘束編織狀壓電元件之力變弱,其結果,無法達成期望的拔出強度,因此不理想。再者,藉由以在雙層織布帛或在雙層編布帛之層間夾入編織狀壓電元件之方式製造布帛,可以大幅度提升布帛之兩面之被覆率,亦可以使成為100%或接近100%。另外,在被覆率為30%以下之情況下,編織狀壓電元件從布帛之纖維間露出之處多,保護不充分。即使構成布帛之纖維為透明亦視為被覆。在編織狀壓電元件在導電層204之外層具備保護層之情況下,包含其保護層也視為編織狀壓電元件。 [0265] (複數的壓電元件) 再者,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,亦能夠排列複數編織狀壓電元件201而加以使用。作為排列方式,例如作為經紗或緯紗,即使全部使用編織狀壓電元件201亦可,即使每數條或一部分使用編織狀壓電元件201亦可。再者,即使某部分使用編織狀壓電元件201作為經紗,其他部分使用編織狀壓電元件201作為緯紗亦可。 [0266] 圖19為表示使用與實施型態有關之編織狀壓電元件的布帛狀壓電元件之其他構成例的示意圖。布帛狀壓電元件207具備至少包含2條之編織狀壓電元件201之布帛208,該些編織狀壓電元件201被配置成略平行。布帛208係構成布帛之纖維(包含編織)之至少兩條為編織狀壓電元件201,編織狀壓電元件201只要能夠發揮作為壓電元件之功能,就無任何限定,即使為任何編織物亦可。在圖19所示之例中,布帛狀壓電元件207係配置至少兩條編織狀壓電元件201及絕緣性纖維209作為經紗,配置絕緣性纖維209作為緯紗的平織物。針對絕緣性纖維209於後述。另外,即使絕緣性纖維209之全部或一部分為編織型態亦可。再者,與圖18之情況相同,即使部分性以導電性纖維置換如圖19所示之布帛狀壓電元件207之緯紗之絕緣性纖維亦可。 [0267] 當編織狀壓電元件201變形時雖然發出壓電訊號,但是該訊號也因應變形之樣態其大小或形狀變化。在圖19所示之布帛狀壓電元件207之情況下,將與布帛狀壓電元件207為兩條之編織狀壓電元件201正交之線設為彎曲部而彎曲變形之時,兩條編織狀壓電元件201成為相同的變形。因此,從兩條之編織狀壓電元件201檢測出相同的訊號。另外,在施加扭轉等之複雜的變形之情況下,兩條編織狀壓電元件201個別誘發變形,各個編織狀壓電元件201所產生的訊號成為不同。藉由該原理,組合複數編織狀壓電元件201,比較運算在各個的編織狀壓電元件201產生的訊號,依此能夠進行編織狀壓電元件201之複雜的變形解析。例如,根據比較在各編織狀壓電元件201產生之訊號的極性、振幅、相位等而所取得之結果,可以檢測出扭轉等之複雜的變形。 [0268] 在上述型態中,從相對於布帛之彎曲,使兩條編織狀壓電元件201受到不同變形的觀點來看,兩條編織狀壓電元件201互相隔著間隔配置,具體而言,以壓電性纖維互相最近的部分之距離相隔0.05mm以上500mm以下,相隔0.1mm以上200mm以下為較佳,相隔0.5mm以上100mm以下為更佳。再者,在布帛中含有訊號檢測不使用編織狀壓電元件之情況下,即使其編織狀壓電元件和其他編織狀壓電元件之距離未滿0.05mm亦可。 [0269] 如上述般,因藉由組合複數編織狀壓電元件201,比較運算在各個編織狀壓電元件201發生的訊號,能夠進行彎曲或扭轉等之複雜的變形解析,故可以適用於例如衣類形狀之穿戴式感測器。在此情況下,當由於布帛狀壓電元件207彎曲等而變形之時,因編織狀壓電元件201也隨著其變形而變形,故根據從編織狀壓電元件201被輸出的電訊號,可以檢測出布帛狀壓電元件207之變形。而且,因布帛狀壓電元件207可以當作布帛(編織物)使用,故可以適用於例如衣類形狀之穿戴式感測器。 [0270] (絕緣性纖維) 在布帛狀壓電元件207,在編織狀壓電元件201(及導電性纖維210)以外之部分,可以使用絕緣性纖維。此時,絕緣性纖維以提升布帛狀壓電元件207之柔軟性為目的,可以使用具有伸縮性素材、形狀的纖維。 [0271] 如此一來,藉由在編織狀壓電元件201(及導電性纖維210)以外,配置絕緣性纖維,能夠提升布帛狀壓電元件207之操作性(例示:作為穿戴式感測器的活動容易性)。 [0272] 作為如此之絕緣性纖維,若為體積電阻率為106 Ω・cm以上時可以使用,以108 Ω・cm以上為較佳,以1010 Ω・cm以上為更佳。 [0273] 作為絕緣性纖維,例如除了聚酯纖維、尼龍纖維、丙烯酸纖維、聚乙烯纖維、聚丙烯纖維、氯乙烯纖維、芳香族聚醯胺纖維、聚碸纖維、聚醚纖維、聚胺基甲酸酯纖維等之合成纖維之外,可以使用棉、麻、絹等之天然纖維、乙酸酯等之半合成纖維、縲縈、銅胺等之再生纖維。並不限定於該些,可以任意使用眾知之絕緣性纖維。並且,即使組合該些絕緣性纖維而加以使用亦可,即使與不具有絕緣性之纖維組合,而成為全體具有絕緣性之纖維亦可。 [0274] 再者,亦可以使用眾知之所有剖面形狀之纖維。 [0275] (製造方法) 與本發明有關之編織狀壓電元件201雖然以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆至少一條導電性纖維B之表面,但是作為其製造方法可舉出例如以下之方法。即是,以另外之工程製作導電性纖維B和壓電性纖維A,將壓電性纖維A捲繞成編織狀而被覆導電性纖維B的方法。在此情況下,以盡量接近於同心圓狀之方式被覆為佳。 [0276] 此情況下,以作為形成壓電性纖維A之壓電性高分子,以使用聚乳酸之情況為佳的紡紗、延伸條件而言,以熔融紡紗溫度為150℃~250℃為佳,延伸溫度為40℃~150℃為佳,延伸倍率為1.1倍至5.0倍為佳,結晶化溫度為80℃~170℃為佳。 [0277] 作為捲繞在導電性纖維B之壓電性纖維A,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。再者,作為捲繞在壓電性纖維A之導電性纖維B,即使使用捆束複數纖絲之多纖絲亦可,再者,即使使用單纖絲(包含紡織紗)亦可。 [0278] 作為被覆之較佳型態,可以藉由將導電性纖維B作為芯紗,在其周圍將壓電性纖維A編織成編狀,製作出管狀編織物(Tubular Braid)來被覆。更具體而言,可舉出具有芯部203之8股編織或16股編織。但是,例如即使將壓電性纖維A設為編織管般之型態,將導電性纖維B視為芯部,插入該編織管而予以被覆亦可。 [0279] 導電層204雖然藉由塗佈或纖維之捲繞而製造出,但是從容易製造之觀點來看,以纖維之捲繞為佳。作為纖維之捲繞方法,可考慮覆蓋物、編物、織物,即使藉由任一之方法製造亦可。 [0280] 藉由上述般之製造方法,可以取得以編織狀之壓電性纖維A被覆導電性纖維B之表面,並且在其周圍設置有導電層204之編織狀壓電元件201。 [0281] 本發明之布帛狀壓電元件207藉由織製、編製而製造出。只要達成本發明之目的,就算係與其他纖維(包含編織)組合,而進行交織、交編、交組等亦可。當然,即使將編織狀壓電元件201當作構成布帛之纖維(例如,經紗或緯紗)之一部分使用亦可,即使在布帛上刺繡編織狀壓電元件201亦可,即使接合亦可,即使組合該些方法亦可。再者,當設為僅在編織狀壓電元件201之附近存在布帛的帶形布帛狀壓電元件,由於可以容易藉由縫製或黏貼設置在其他布帛,較為理想。此時,帶之端和編織狀壓電元件之距離(帶之寬度方向之距離)以1mm以上100mm以下為佳,以3mm以上50mm以下為較佳,以5mm以上20mm以下為更佳。在設為帶形之布帛狀壓電元件之情況下,雖然即使與編織狀壓電元件201平行地切割寬幅之布帛狀壓電元件而製造出亦可,但是從簡化製造工程之觀點來看,在布帶之織製、編製時進行交織、交編、交組等,或在布帶上刺繡、黏接編織狀壓電元件201為佳。 [0282] 作為織物之織組織,可例示平織、斜紋織、緞紋織等之三原組織、變化組織、經二重織、緯二重織等之單二重組織、經絨等。編物之種類即使為圓編物(緯編物)亦可,即使為經編物亦可。作為圓編物(緯編物)之組織,較佳可例示平編、羅紋編、兩面編、反針編、掛針編、浮線編、半畔編、紗羅編、添毛編等。作為經編組織,可例示單面經編平織編、單面經編緞針編、雙面經編絨編、經絨-經平編、起絨編、提花編等。層數亦可以單層,亦可以為2層以上之多層。而且,即使為由割毛織及/或毛圈織所成之立毛部與基底組織部所構成的立毛織物、立毛編物亦可。 [0283] 從簡化製造工程及拔出強度、被覆率之提升的觀點來看,以編織狀壓電元件在被織入之狀態或被編入之狀態下被固定在布帛為較佳,以將編織狀壓電元件夾入多層織布帛或多重編布帛之層間為更佳。多層係指兩層以上。 [0284] (壓電元件之適用技術) 因本發明之編織狀壓電元件201或布帛狀壓電元件207般之壓電元件即使為任一態樣,亦可以輸出對表面的接觸、壓力、形狀變化作為電訊號,故可以當作檢測出被施加至其壓電元件之應力之大小及/或被施加的位置的感測器(裝置)予以利用。再者,亦可以將該電訊號當作用以使其他裝置運轉之電力源或蓄電等之發電元件來使用。具體而言,可舉出因用於人、動物、機器人、機械等自發性運動者之可動部而發電,因鞋底、敷物、受到來自外部的壓力之構造物的表面所致的發電,因流體中的形狀變化而發電等。再者,由於藉由流體中的形狀變化而發出電訊號,亦能夠使吸附流體中的帶電性物質或抑制附著。 [0285] 圖6為表示具備本發明之壓電元件112之裝置111的方塊圖。裝置111具備壓電元件112(布帛狀壓電元件207),和以任意選擇,放大因應被施加之壓力而從壓電元件112之輸出端子被輸出的電訊號之放大手段113,和輸出以該任意選擇之放大手段113被放大之電訊號的輸出手段114,和將從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號發送至外部機器(無圖示)的發送手段115之電路。若使用該裝置111時,根據朝壓電元件112之表面的接觸、壓力、形狀變化而被輸出之電訊號,以外部機器(無圖示)的運算處理,可以檢測出被施加至壓電元件之應力之大小及/或被施加的位置。 [0286] 任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115即使以例如軟體程式形式構築亦可,或是以各種電子電路和軟體程式之組合構築亦可。例如,在運算處理裝置(無圖示)被安裝該軟體程式,運算處理裝置依照該軟體程式動作,依此實現各部之功能。再者,或是,即使將任意選擇之放大手段113、輸出手段114及發送手段115,作為寫入實現該些各部功能之軟體程式的半導體積體電路而加以實現亦可。另外,使發送手段115所致之發送方式成為藉由無線或有線,若因應所構成之感測器而適當決定即可。或是,即使在裝置111內,設置根據從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號,運算被施加至壓電元件112之應力的大小及/或被施加之位置的運算手段(無圖示)亦可。再者,不僅放大手段,即使組合除去雜訊之手段或與其他訊號組合而進行處理之手段等之眾知的訊號處理手段而加以使用亦可。該些手段之連接順序可因應目的而適當變更。當然,即使將從壓電元件112被輸出之電訊號原樣地朝外部機器發送之後,進行訊號處理亦可。 [0287] 圖20~22為表示具備與實施型態有關之編織布帛狀壓電元件之裝置之構成例的示意圖。圖20~22之放大手段113相當於參照圖6而說明者,針對圖6之輸出手段114及發送手段115,在圖20~22省略圖示。在構成具備布帛狀壓電元件207之裝置之情況下,放大手段113之輸入端子連接從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203(以導電性纖維B所形成)之輸出端子而來的拉出線,接地(earth)端子連接編織狀壓電元件201之導電層204或布帛狀壓電元件207之導電性纖維210或與連接於放大手段113之輸入端子的編織狀壓電元件201不同的編織狀壓電元件。例如,如圖20所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,將從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203之輸出端子而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使編織狀壓電元件201的導電層204接地(earth)。再者例如,如圖21所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207中,將從編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,使與編織狀壓電元件201交叉而接觸的導電性纖維210接地(earth)。再者,例如圖22所示般,在布帛狀壓電元件207排列複數編織狀壓電元件201之情況下,將從一條編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203之輸出端子而來的拉出線連接於放大手段113之輸入端子,將從與該編織狀壓電元件201排列之另外的編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203而來的拉出線予以接地(earth)。 [0288] 當在編織狀壓電元件201產生變形時,壓電性纖維A變形而產生極化。受到壓電性纖維A之極化產生的正負各電荷之配列的影響,在來自形成編織狀壓電元件201之芯部203的導電性纖維B之輸出端子的拉出線上,產生電荷之移動。在來自導電性纖維B之拉出線上,電荷的移動出現微小的電訊號(即是電流或電位差)。即是,因應編織狀壓電元件201被施加變形之時產生的電荷,從輸出端子輸出電訊號的放大手段113放大該電訊號,輸出手段114輸出在放大手段113被放大的電訊號。藉由編織狀壓電元件201之變形的種類,從輸出手段114被輸出的電訊號之極性、振幅、相位等不同,故根據與從輸出手段114被輸出之電訊號之極性、振幅、相位等做比較所取得之結果,判別扭轉等之複雜變形的態樣。 [0289] 因連接編織狀壓電元件和圖20~22中之放大手段113等之電子電路,故電性連接編織狀壓電元件和其他構件(連接器或導線等),在編織狀壓電元件被布帛被覆之原樣下連接有困難。因此,以編織狀壓電元件從布帛部分性地露出,在該露出部分,編織狀壓電元件之導電性纖維及/或導電層和其他構件電性連接為佳。露出部分從連接作業之簡易度和性能的均衡來看,以2mm以上100mm以下為佳,以5mm以上50mm以下為較佳,以10mm以上30mm以下為更佳。 [0290] 於事後對布帛狀壓電元件賦予上述露出部分,需要布帛之部分性的切除等之後加工,由於有損傷布帛之物性之虞,故不理想,以在布帛狀壓電元件之製造時事先在與其他構件的連接處,織製、編製成使編織狀壓電元件露出的組織為佳。 [0291] 本發明之裝置111為布帛狀,因具有柔軟性,故可運用範圍非常寬廣。作為本發明之裝置111之具體例,可舉出成為帽子、手套、襪子等的穿著衣服、支撐物、手帕狀等之形狀的觸控面板,作為對於人或動物之表面感壓感測器,例如檢測成為手套、帶體、支撐物等之形狀的關節部之彎曲、扭轉、伸縮的感測器。例如當使用於人時,檢測接觸或動作,可使用作為醫療用途等的關節等之動作的資訊收集、娛樂用途、使用於移動失去的組織或機器人之介面。另外,可使用作為模仿動物或人型的布製玩偶或機器人之表面感壓感測器、檢測關節部的彎曲、扭轉、伸縮之感測器。還有,可使用作為床單或枕頭等之寢具、鞋底、手套、椅子、敷物、袋子、旗等之表面感壓感測器或形狀變化感測器 [0292] 另外,本發明之裝置111因係編織狀或布帛狀,且具有柔軟性,故藉由貼附或被覆於所有構造物的全體或一部分之表面,可作為表面感壓感測器、形狀變化感測器使用。 [0293] 而且,本發明之裝置111因僅以摩擦編織狀壓電元件201之表面就可以產生充分的電訊號,故可用於觸控感測器般之觸控式輸入裝置或指向裝置等。再者,因藉由以編織狀壓電元件201擦拭被測量物之表面,可以取得被測量物之高度方向之位置資訊或形狀資訊,故可以用於表面形狀測量等。 [實施例] [0294] 以下,雖然藉由實施例進一步地記載本發明,但是本發明並不藉此而受到任何限定。 [0295] 在本實施例中所示的壓電性纖維(壓電性構造體)、編織狀壓電元件及布帛狀壓電元件之各特性藉由以下之方法而決定。 [0296] [壓電性纖維] (1)聚-L-乳酸結晶化度Xhomo : 針對聚-L-乳酸結晶化度Xhomo ,從廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所致的結晶構造解析求出。在廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)中,使用理學(Rigaku)公司製ultrax18型X射線繞射裝置,而藉由穿透法,利用以下條件將樣本之X射線繞射圖形記錄於影像板。 X射線源:Cu-Kα射線(共焦鏡) 輸出:45kV×60mA 縫隙:1st:1mmΦ、2nd:0.8mmΦ 攝影長度:120mm 累計時間:10分鐘 樣本:將35mg之聚乳酸纖維併紗使成為3cm之纖維束。 在所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,在方位角求出全散射強度Itotal ,在此,求出在2θ=16.5°、18.5°、24.3°附近出現的來自聚-L-乳酸結晶的各繞射峰值之積分強度的總和ΣIHMi 。從該些值依照下式(3),求出聚-L-乳酸結晶化度Xhomo 。 [式3] 聚-L-乳酸結晶化度Xhomo (%)=ΣIHMi /Itotal ×100 (3) 另外,ΣIHMi 係藉由在全散射強度中減去背景或非晶所致的漫散散射而算出。 [0297] (2)聚-L-乳酸結晶配向度A: 針對聚-L-乳酸結晶配向度A,在藉由上述廣角X射線繞射分析(WAXD)所取得之X射線繞射圖形中,針對出現在徑向的2θ=16.5°附近的來自聚-L-乳酸結晶之繞射峰值,取相對於方位角(°)的強度分布,從所取得的分布曲線之半值寬度的總計ΣWi (°)由下式(4)算出。 [式4] 聚-L-乳酸結晶配向度A(%)=(360-ΣWi )÷360×100 (4) [0298] (3)聚乳酸之光學純度: 採取構成布帛之一條(多纖絲之情況下為一束)之聚乳酸纖維0.1g,加上5莫耳/公升濃度之氫氧化鈉水溶液1.0mL和甲醇1.0mL,設置在設定成65℃的水浴搖動器,使聚乳酸成為均勻溶液為止進行30分鐘左右的加水分解,而且在完成加水分解之溶液中加入0.25莫耳/公升之硫酸,中和至pH7,採取0.1mL其分解溶液而藉由高速液體層析(HPLC)移動相溶液3mL稀釋,且藉由膜過濾器(0.45μm)過濾。進行該調整溶液之HPLC測定,定量L-乳酸聚合物和D-乳酸聚合物之比率。在一條聚乳酸纖維未滿0.1g之情況下,配合能夠採取的量,調整其他溶液之使用量,使供HPLC測定之樣本溶液之聚乳酸濃度從與上述同等變成100分之1的範圍。 [HPLC測定條件] 管柱:住化分析中心公司製造「SUMICHIRAL(註冊商標)」OA-5000(4.6mmφ×150mm) 移動相:1.0毫莫耳/公升之硫酸銅水溶液 移動相流量:1.0毫升/分鐘 檢測器:UV檢測器(波長254nm) 注入量:100微升 將來自L乳酸聚合物之峰值面積設為SLLA ,將來自D-乳酸聚合物的峰值面積設為SDLA 時,因SLLA 和SDLA 分別與L-乳酸聚合物之莫耳濃度MLLA 及D-乳酸聚合物之莫耳濃度MDLA 成比例,故將SLLA 和SDLA 之中大的一方的值設為SMLA ,光學純度則以下式(5)計算出。 [式5] 光學純度(%)=SMLA ÷(SLLA +SDLA )×100 (5) [0299] [布帛狀壓電元件] (4)拔出強度 在有編織狀壓電元件從布帛狀壓電元件露出之處的情況下,以拉伸試驗機(Orientec股份有限公司製造萬能試驗機「Tensilon RTC-1225A」)之把持工件之一方把持露出之編織狀壓電元件,在離把持側的編織狀壓電元件被固定的端5cm之部分,切斷編織狀壓電元件及布帛狀壓電元件。將編織狀壓電元件被固定在布帛的5cm之部分之兩側的除了離編織狀壓電元件1mm以內之區域的部分,在編織狀壓電元件之長度方向涵蓋5cm以U字型之把持工件予以把持,且連接於拉伸試驗機之把持工件之另一方。在該狀態下,以10mm/min之速度進行拉伸試驗,測量最大強度,設為拔出強度。另外,在編織狀壓電元件從布帛狀壓電元件露出之處未充分之情況下,若切斷布帛之一部分(編織狀壓電元件以外之部分)而使編織狀壓電元件露出,進行上述測量。另外,在難以將編織狀壓電元件被固定於布帛之部分的長度確保5cm之情況下,在任意長度之固定部分測量拔出強度,而換算成每5cm之強度亦可。 [0300] (5)被覆率 在布帛狀壓電元件中之編織狀壓電元件之任意3點,針對藉由顯微鏡從表背兩面攝影到的6張照片的各照片,在涵蓋相對於編織狀壓電元件之寬度為10倍以上之長度的部分,對從編織之寬度和觀察部分之長度的積所計算出的面積,算出編織表面露出而可看到的部分之面積的比率,將從100%減去其比例的值設為被覆率,將表面3張照片之平均值設為被覆率(表),將背面3張照片之平均值設為被覆率(背)。 [0301] (6)電訊號測定 在將電位計(Keysight公司 B2987A)經由同軸纜線(芯:Hi極,護罩:Lo極)連接於壓電元件之導電體的狀態下,對壓電元件一面進行以下之彎曲動作,一面以50m秒之間隔測量電流值。 [0302] (6-1)彎曲試驗 使用具備上部和下部之兩個夾具,下部之夾具被固定在僅在垂直方向動作之軌道上而設為總是朝下方向施加0.5N之負載的狀態,上部之夾具位於下部之夾具之72mm上方,上部之夾具在將連結兩個夾具之線段設為直徑的假設圓周上移動,將從該假設圓之中心分別往左右16mm之位置為中心的直徑15mm之圓作為剖面的兩根圓柱(在側面黏貼由50支紗數之綿紗所構成之平織布)被固定,通過其兩根圓柱之間固定布帛狀壓電元件,使用以其兩根圓柱為支點被施加彎曲變形的試驗裝置,以在上下之夾具把持編織狀壓電元件之方式,將布帛狀壓電元件把持在上下之夾具並予以固定,當在該假設圓周上,將上部之夾具設為12點之位置,將下部之夾具設為6點之位置之時,重複進行10次上部之夾具從12點之位置經由該假設圓周上之1點、2點之位置,以一定速度花費0.9秒移動至3點之位置後,經由12點之位置,花費1.8秒移動至9點之位置,再次,花費0.9秒返回至12點之位置的往返彎曲動作,測量在該些之間的電流值,取從12點之位置移動至3點之位置之間的電流值之峰值,往返運動10次之平均值以作為訊號之值。 [0303] (7)編織狀壓電元件之外觀 進行往返1000次(6-1)之彎曲試驗之後,拉出布帛狀壓電元件中之編織狀壓電元件,以顯微鏡觀察外側之導電層表面之鍍銀剝落。將完全看不見剝落者設為優秀合格,看得到一些者設為合格,將頻繁看到剝落者設為不合格。 [0304] [編織狀壓電元件] (8)壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ 壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ由下式計算出。但是,Rm=2(Ro3 -Ri3 )/3(Ro2 -Ri2 ),即是以剖面積加權平均的編織狀壓電元件(或是其他構造體)之半徑。螺旋間距HP、編織狀壓電元件(或其他構造體)所佔的部分之外側半徑Ro及內側半徑Ri如同下述般進行測量。 (8-1)編織狀壓電元件之情況下(設為在進行藉由編織狀壓電元件之壓電性高分子以外的被覆之情況下,可以因應所需除去被覆而從側面觀察到壓電性高分子的狀態),攝影側面照片,在任意之5處,如圖3所示般測量壓電性高分子之螺旋間距HP(μm),取得平均值。再者,使低黏性之瞬間接合劑「Aron Alpha EXTRA2000」(東亞合成)染入編織狀壓電元件並使固化之後,切出與編織之長軸垂直的剖面而攝影剖面照片,針對一張剖面照片,如同後述般測量編織狀壓電元件所佔的部分之外側半徑Ro(μm)及內側半徑Ri(μm),將同樣的測定針對另外的任意剖面5處進行測定,取得平均值。在壓電性高分子和絕緣性高分子同時被編入之情況下,例如使用壓電性纖維和絕緣性纖維併紗者之情況下,或8股編織之4條纖維為壓電性高分子,剩下的4條纖維為絕緣性高分子之情況下,在各種位置取得剖面之時,由於存在壓電性高分子之區域和存在絕緣性高分子之區域互相交替,故將存在壓電性高分子之區域和存在絕緣性高分子之區域一起視為編織狀壓電元件所佔的部分。但是,針對絕緣性高分子和壓電性高分子不同時被編入之部分,不視為編織狀壓電元件之一部分。 針對,外側半徑Ro和內側半徑Ri,如同下述般進行測量。如同圖9A之剖面照片般,定義成壓電性構造體(以壓電性纖維A所形成之鞘部2)所佔的區域(以下,記載成PSA),和位於PSA之中央部而非PSA的區域(之後記載成CA)。將位於PSA之外側,不與PSA重疊之最小的正圓之直徑,和不通過PSA之外側(即使CA通過)之最大的正圓之直徑的平均值設為Ro(圖9B)。再者,將位於CA之外側,不與CA重疊之最小的正圓之直徑,和不通過CA之外側之最大的正圓之直徑的平均值設為Ri(圖9C)。 (8-2)包芯紗狀壓電元件之情況下,將壓電性高分子包芯之時的捲繞速度設為T次/m(包芯紗每單位長度之壓電性高分子的旋轉數)之時,螺旋間距成為HP(μm)= 1000000/T。再者,使低黏性之瞬間接合劑「Aron Alpha EXTRA2000」(東亞合成)染入包芯紗狀壓電元件並使固化之後,切出與編織之長軸垂直的剖面而攝影剖面照片,針對一張剖面照片,與編織狀壓電元件之情況相同,測量包芯紗狀壓電元件所佔的部分之外側半徑Ro(μm)及內側半徑Ri(μm),將同樣的測定針對另外的任意剖面5處進行測定,取得平均值。於壓電性高分子和絕緣性高分子同時被包覆之情況下,例如包覆將壓電性纖維和絕緣性纖維併紗者之情況下,或將壓電性纖維和絕緣性纖維同時包覆成不會重疊之情況下,在各種位置取得剖面之時,因存在壓電性高分子之區域和存在絕緣性高分子之區域互相交替,故將存在壓電性高分子之區域和存在絕緣性高分子之區域一起視為包芯紗狀壓電元件所佔的部分。但是,針對絕緣性高分子和壓電性高分子不同時被包覆,即是即使取任何剖面,絕緣性高分子亦總是位於壓電性高分子之內側或外側之部分,不視為包芯紗狀壓電元件之一部分。 [0305] (9)電訊號測定 在將電位計(Keysight公司 B2987A)經由同軸纜線(芯:Hi極,護罩:Lo極)連接於壓電元件之導電體的狀態下,對壓電元件一面進行下述9-1~5中之任一的動作試驗,一面以50m秒之間隔測量電流值。 (9-1)拉伸試驗 使用Orientec股份有限公司製造萬能試驗機「Tensilon RTC-1225A」),在壓電元件之長邊方向隔著12cm之間隔以夾具抓住壓電元件,將元件鬆弛的狀態設為0.0N,在拉伸至0.5N之張力的狀態下將移位設為0mm,以100mm/min之動作速度拉伸至1.2mm之後,至0mm為止重複10次以 -100mm/min之動作速度返回的動作。 (9-2)扭轉試驗 使用抓住壓電元件之兩處夾具中,一方的夾具不進行扭轉動作而被設置在自由地於壓電元件之長軸方向移動的軌道上,成為總是對壓電元件施加0.5N之張力的狀態,另一方之夾具被設計成在壓電元件之長軸方向不動作而進行扭轉動作的扭轉試驗裝置,在壓電元件之長邊方向隔著72mm之間而以該些夾具抓住壓電元件,從元件之中央觀看夾具以順時鐘扭轉之方式,重複10次以100°/s之速度從0°旋轉至45°之後,以-100°/s之速度從45°旋轉至0°的往返扭轉動作。 (9-3)彎曲試驗 使用具備上部和下部之兩個夾具,下部之夾具被固定,上部之夾具位於下部之夾具之72mm上方,上部夾具在將連結兩個夾具之線段設為直徑的假設圓周上移動的試驗裝置,將壓電元件把持在夾具並予以固定,當在該圓周上,將上部之夾具設為12點之位置,將下部之夾具設為6點之位置之時,成為使壓電元件朝9點方向些許撓曲成凸狀的狀態後,重複進行10次上部之夾具從12點之位置經由該圓周上之1點、2點之位置,以一定速度花費0.9秒移動至3點之位置後,花費0.9秒移動至12點之位置的往返彎曲動作。 (9-4)剪切試驗 藉由在表面黏貼以50支紗數之綿紗所編織的平織布的兩面剛直的金屬板,從上下水平地夾住壓電元件之中央部64mm之長度部分(下部金屬板被固定在基台),從上施加3.2N之垂直負載,在維持金屬板表面之綿布和壓電元件之間不會滑動之狀態下,重複10次對上面的金屬板施加1秒0N至1N的負載而朝壓電元件之長邊方向拉伸之後,施加1秒使拉伸負載返回至0N之剪切動作。 (9-5)推壓試驗 使用Orientec股份有限公司製造萬能試驗機「Tensilon RTC-1225A」),將靜置在水平且剛直之金屬台上之壓電元件之中央部64mm之長度部分,藉由被設置成上部十字頭之剛直的金屬板,水平地夾住壓電元件,重複10次施加0.6秒使從壓電元件朝上部之金屬板的反作用力從0.01N成為20N,下降上部之十字頭予以推壓,施加0.6秒使反作用力成為至0.01N而予以除壓的動作。 [0306] 壓電元件用之布帛用以下之方法製造。 [0307] (聚乳酸之製造) 在實施例使用的聚乳酸用以下之方法製造。 對於L-乳酸交酯((股)武藏野化學研究所製,光學純度100%)100質量份,添加辛酸錫0.005質量份,於氮氣環境下,在附攪拌翼的反應機中於180℃使反應2小時,添加相對於辛酸錫而言1.2倍當量的磷酸,然後在13.3Pa下減壓去除殘存的乳酸交酯,碎片化而得到聚-L-乳酸(PLLA1)。所得之PLLA1的質量平均分子量為15.2萬,玻璃轉移點(Tg)為55℃,熔點為175℃。 [0308] (壓電性纖維) 將在240℃經熔融的PLLA1,自24孔的帽蓋以20g/min吐出,以887m/min牽引。藉由將此未延伸多纖絲在80℃延伸2.3倍,在100℃熱定型處理,而得到84dTex/24纖絲的多纖絲單軸延伸絲PF1。再者,將在240℃經熔融的PLLA1,自12孔的帽蓋以8g/min吐出,以1050m/min牽引。藉由將此未延伸多纖絲在80℃延伸2.3倍,在150℃熱定型處理,而得到33dTex/12纖絲的多纖絲單軸延伸絲PF2。將該些壓電性纖維PF1及PF2當作壓電性高分子使用。以上述方法測定PF1及PF2之聚-L-乳酸結晶化度、聚-L-乳酸結晶配向度及光學純度,如同表1般。 [0309][0310] (導電性纖維) 將三富士(股)製造的鍍銀尼龍,產品名『AGposs』100d34f(CF1)當作導電性纖維B使用。CF1之電阻率為250Ω/m。 再者,將三富士(股)製造的鍍銀尼龍,產品名『AGposs』30d10f(CF2)當作導電性纖維B及導電性纖維206使用。CF2之導電性為950Ω/m。 [0311] (絕緣性纖維) 將藉由熔融紡紗後延伸聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯而製造出的84dTex/24纖絲之延伸絲IF1,及33dTex/12纖絲之延伸絲IF2分別設為絕緣性纖維。 [0312] (實施例1) 在本實施例中,關於在第1發明~第3發明中所使用之壓電元件,尤其針對壓電性高分子之配向角度θ及T1/T2之值對相對於伸縮變形的電訊號造成的影響進行調查。 [0313] (例AA) 作為實施例1之試料,如圖10所示般,以導電性纖維CF1作為芯紗,將上述壓電性纖維PF1設置在8股圓編織編帶機之8條之載體中,被編入Z撚向之4條載體上及被編入S撚向之4條載體全部上並予以編織,依此,作成在芯紗之周圍,壓電性纖維PF1以螺旋狀地被捲繞在Z撚向以及S撚向的編織狀壓電元件1-AA。 [0314] (例AB) 以編織狀壓電元件1-AA作為芯紗,將上述導電性纖維CF2設置在編帶機之8條載體中,被編入Z撚向之4條載體及被編入S撚向之4條載體全部並予以編織,依此製作以導電性纖維覆蓋編織狀壓電元件1-AA之周圍的元件,成為編織狀壓電元件1-AB。 [0315] (例AC)

使用CF2取代CF1,除調整捲繞速度之外,其他與編織狀壓電元件1-AA相同,作成編織狀壓電元件,將該編織狀壓電元件1-AA作為芯紗,製作與編織狀壓電元件1-AB同樣以導電性纖維覆蓋的元件,成為編織狀壓電元件1-AD。 [0317] (例AE) 以導電性纖維CF1作為芯紗,將上述壓電性纖維PF1設置在16股圓編織編帶機之16條之載體中,被編入Z撚向之8條載體及被編入S撚向之8條載體全部上並予以編織,依此,作成在芯紗之周圍,壓電性纖維PF1以螺旋狀地被捲繞在Z撚向還有S撚向的編織狀壓電元件,將該編織狀壓電元件作為芯紗,製作與編織狀壓電元件1-AB同樣以導電性纖維覆蓋的元件,成為編織狀壓電元件1-AE。 [0318] (例AF) 作成將CF1作為芯紗,且將PF1在芯紗之周圍以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在S撚向,在其外側,進一步地將PF1以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在Z撚向,在其外側,進一步地將CF2以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在S撚向,在其外側,進一步地將CF2以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在Z撚向,在芯紗之周圍,壓電性纖維PF1以螺旋狀被捲繞在Z撚向及S撚向,而且以導電性纖維覆蓋外側的包芯紗狀壓電元件1-AF。 [0319] (例AG) 作成將CF1作為芯紗,且將PF1在芯紗之周圍以6000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在S撚向,在其外側,進一步地將PF1以6000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在Z撚向,在其外側,進一步地將CF2以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在S撚向,在其外側,進一步地將CF2以3000次/m之包覆次數捲繞在Z撚向,在芯紗之周圍,壓電性纖維PF1以螺旋狀被捲繞在Z撚向及S撚向,而且以導電性纖維覆蓋外側的包芯紗狀壓電元件1-AG。 [0320] (例AH) 除了使用IF1取代PF1之外,其他與編織狀壓電元件1-AA相同,作成編織狀壓電元件,將該編織狀元件作為芯紗,製作與編織狀壓電元件1-AB同樣以導電性纖維覆蓋的元件,成為編織狀元件1-AH。 [0321] (例AI) 除了使用IF1取代PF1之外,其他與包芯紗狀壓電元件1-AF相同,作成包芯紗狀元件,成為包芯紗狀元件1-AI。 [0322] (例AJ、AK) 除變更PF1或PF2之捲繞速度之外,其他與編織狀壓電元件1-AB及1-AC相同,作成兩條編織狀壓電元件,成為編織狀壓電元件1-AJ及1-AK。 [0323] (例AL) 除使用IF1取代捲繞在S撚向之PF1之外,其他與編織狀壓電元件1-AB相同,作成編織狀壓電元件1-AL。 [0324] (例AM) 除使用IF2取代捲繞在Z撚向之PF2之外,其他與編織狀壓電元件1-AC相同,作成編織狀壓電元件1-AM。 [0325] (例AN) 除使用IF1取代捲繞在Z撚向之PF1之外,其他與包芯紗狀壓電元件1-AF相同,作成包芯紗狀壓電元件1-AN。 [0326] 測定各壓電元件之Ri、Ro、HP,於表2表示被計算出的壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ之值,及T1/T2之值。針對編織狀壓電元件,Ri及Ro係將在剖面存在壓電性纖維和絕緣性纖維的區域一起當作壓電元件佔有的區域而進行測量。針對包芯紗狀壓電元件,Ri及Ro係將在剖面存在壓電性纖維之區域當作壓電元件佔有的區域而進行測量。再者,將各壓電元件切斷成15cm之長度,將芯的導電性纖維設為Hi極,將屏蔽周邊的金屬網或鞘部之導電性纖維設為Lo極而連接於電位計(Keysight社 B2987A),監控電流值。在表2表示拉伸試驗、扭轉試驗、彎曲試驗、剪切試驗及推壓試驗時之電流值。另外,因例AH、AI不含壓電性高分子,故無法測定θ及T1/T2之值。 [0327][0328] 從表2之結果,可知在壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為超過40°未滿50°之情況下,相對於扭轉動作(扭轉變形)產生大的訊號,對此,在壓電性高分子對中心軸之方向的配向角度θ為0°以上40°以下或50°以上90°以下之情況下,相對於扭轉動作(扭轉變形)產生大的訊號。而且,可知如例AA~AG般,當T1/T2之值超過0.8而在1.0以下之時,相對於扭轉動作(扭轉變形)產生大的訊號,於扭轉以外之動作,不產生大的訊號,選擇性地應答扭轉動作的元件。再者,當比較例AA~AE、AL及AM和例AF、AG及AN時,可知在θ為0°以上40°以下之情況,和在θ為50°以上90°以下之情況,扭轉試驗時之訊號之極性成為相反,θ對應於扭轉試驗時之訊號之極性。 [0329] 而且,雖然在表中無顯示,但是當對例AA~AG及AL~AN之元件,比較對S撚向施加扭轉之時的訊號,和對Z撚向施加扭轉之時的訊號時,可知因產生極性互相相反且絕對值大概相同的訊號,故該些元件適合扭轉負載或移位之定量。另外,當對例AJ及例AK之元件,比較對S撚向施加扭轉之時的訊號,和對Z撚向施加扭轉之時的訊號時,可知由於在極性互相相反之情況下也有相同之情形,故該些元件不適合扭轉負載或移位之定量。再者,雖然表中無顯示,但是例AB之扭轉試驗時之雜訊位準較例AA之扭轉試驗時之雜訊位準低,可知在編織狀壓電元件(壓電性構造體)之外側,配置由導電性纖維所構成之導電層而設為屏蔽之元件,可以降低雜訊。 [0330] (實施例2) 與第2發明有關之壓電元件用之布帛用以下之方法製造。 (聚乳酸之製造) 在實施例使用的聚乳酸用以下之方法製造。

再者,將在240℃經熔融的PLLA1,自12孔的帽蓋以8g/min吐出,以1300m/min牽引。藉由將此未延伸多纖絲在80℃延伸2.0倍,在150℃熱定型處理,而得到33dTex/12纖絲的壓電性纖維A2。 [0332] (導電性纖維)

Hereinafter, the first invention will be described in detail. (Cylindrical or cylindrical piezoelectric structure) The structure (piezoelectric structure) of the present invention includes an aligned piezoelectric polymer, and the aligned piezoelectric polymer is arranged in a cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape. shape. Fig. 1A is a schematic view showing a cylindrical piezoelectric structure 1-1 according to an embodiment, and Fig. 1B is a schematic view showing a cylindrical piezoelectric structure 1-2 according to an embodiment. The shape of the outer edge and the inner edge of the cylindrical or cylindrical bottom surface on which the piezoelectric polymer is disposed is preferably a perfect circle, and even if it is an elliptical shape, it may be a flat circular shape. (Piezoelectric polymer) The piezoelectric polymer uniaxially aligned polymer molded body contained in the piezoelectric structure of the present invention includes a piezoelectric element having a three-axis alignment axis. A crystalline polymer having an absolute value of the constant d14 of 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 Pc/N or less is used as a main component. In the present invention, "including ... as a main component" means 50% by mass or more of the constituent components. Furthermore, in the present invention, the crystalline polymer is composed of a crystal portion of 1% by mass or more and a polymer composed of an amorphous portion other than the crystal portion, and the mass of the crystalline polymer is a total of a crystal portion and an amorphous portion. the quality of. The absolute value of the piezoelectric constant d14 when the alignment axis is set to three axes is 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC/, which can be used as the crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer of the present embodiment. A crystalline polymer having a value of N or less, such as "Piezoelectricity of biopolymers" (Biyueology, Vol. 3, No. 6, pp. 593), includes cellulose, collagen, keratin, and Fibrin, poly-L-alanine, poly-γ-methyl-L-glutamic acid, poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamic acid, poly-L-lactic acid. Further, poly-D-alanine, poly-γ-methyl-D-glutamic acid, poly-γ-benzyl-D-glutamic acid, poly-D-, which are optical anisotropic bodies of the polymers. Although the code of d14 is reversed, the absolute value of d14 is assumed to be the same value. Although the value of d14 represents a different value depending on molding conditions, purity, and measurement environment, in order to achieve the object of the present invention, the degree of crystallinity and crystal orientation of the crystalline polymer in the piezoelectric polymer actually used are measured. The crystalline polymer is used to form a uniaxially stretched film having the same degree of crystallinity and crystal orientation, and the absolute value of the film d14 is 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC/N or less in the actual use temperature. The crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer of the present embodiment is not limited to the specific crystalline polymer described above. The d14 of the film sample can be measured by various methods, but for example, a metal is vapor-deposited on both sides of the film sample to form a sample of the electrode, and is cut into a rectangle having four sides in a direction inclined by 45 degrees from the extending direction. The value of d14 can be measured by measuring the charge generated at the electrodes on both sides when a tensile load is applied in the longitudinal direction thereof. [0025] In the present embodiment, poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid are particularly preferably used. For example, poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid are easily aligned by uniaxial stretching after melt film formation, and indicate piezoelectricity exceeding 10 pC/N, which is an absolute value of d14. In addition, although the polarization treatment of the polyfluorinated vinylene article of the representative piezoelectric polymer has a high piezoelectric constant of d33, the absolute value of d14 is extremely low, and it cannot be regarded as the crystallinity of the present invention. Use of polymer. Further, the piezoelectric polymer may be used as an alloy of a piezoelectric polymer having no other piezoelectricity, but when it is used as a piezoelectric polymer mainly composed of polylactic acid, The polylactic acid containing at least 60% by mass or more based on the total mass of the alloy is more preferably 70% by mass or more, and most preferably 90% by mass or more. [0027] Examples of the polymer other than polylactic acid in the case of an alloy include polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate copolymer, and poly Methacrylate is a suitable example, but is not limited thereto. (Orientation Angle of Piezoelectric Polymer) In the structure in which the piezoelectric polymer of the present invention is arranged in a cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape, the piezoelectric polymer is disposed with a piezoelectric polymer. The alignment angle θ in the direction of the central axis of the cylindrical or cylindrical shape (hereinafter, simply referred to as "central axis") is 0° or more and 40° or less or 50° or more and 90° or less. When the piezoelectric structure is subjected to the torsional deformation (torsional stress) centered on the central axis, the piezoelectric polymer of the crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer can be efficiently utilized. The piezoelectric effect corresponding to the constant d14 can effectively generate a reverse polarity charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the piezoelectric structure. In addition, when the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer with respect to the central axis exceeds 40° and is less than 50°, even if the piezoelectric structure is subjected to torsional deformation (torsional stress) with the central axis as the axis, It is also impossible to efficiently generate a reverse polarity charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the piezoelectric structure, so that the electric charge cannot be efficiently extracted as a signal or energy. From such a viewpoint, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is preferably 0° or more and 35° or less, or preferably 55° or more and 90° or less, and 0° or more and 30° or less or 60°. The above 90° or less is preferable, and more preferably 0° or more and 25° or less or 65° or more and 90° or less, and more preferably 0° or more and less than 15° or more than 75° and more preferably 90° or less. When the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis exceeds 0° and is less than 90°, the spiral direction is drawn in the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer. Further, by disposing the piezoelectric polymer in this manner, it is possible to cause shear deformation like the surface of the frictional piezoelectric structure, or bending deformation of the bending central axis, or stretching deformation in the central axis direction. In the piezoelectric structure, the central axis side and the outer side of the piezoelectric structure do not generate a large electric charge, that is, a piezoelectric structure that selectively generates a large electric charge with respect to the torsion centered on the central axis. The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is viewed from the side in a cylindrical or cylindrical parallel projection view in which the piezoelectric polymer is disposed, the direction of the central axis, and the central axis The angle formed by the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer in the overlapping front portion. For example, FIG. 2 is a view of the cylindrical piezoelectric structure 1 relating to the embodiment in view from the side. In the example of FIG. 2, the piezoelectric structural system winds a strip of a piezoelectric polymer that is aligned in the longitudinal direction into a spiral structure. The straight line indicating the direction in which the center axis CL overlaps the strip in the front direction is OL, and the angle θ between CL and OL (0 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less) is the direction of the piezoelectric polymer with respect to the central axis. Orientation angle. [0030] In FIG. 2, since a thin piezoelectric polymer is used as the strip material, the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer is approximately the same as the alignment direction of the surface of the strip viewed from the side, but thick In the case of producing a cylindrical piezoelectric structure by a piezoelectric polymer, or in the case of a cylindrical piezoelectric structure, the alignment direction of the inner surface is larger than the alignment direction of the surface which can be viewed from the side. Close to the central axis, the closer to the direction of the central axis, the difference between the alignment direction of the surface and the inner alignment direction. Furthermore, since the alignment direction of the surface of the strip viewed from the side is S-shaped or inverted S-shaped in appearance, accurate observation requires a high magnification magnification observation. [0031] From this point of view, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is a structure in which a fiber, a filament, or a strip that is aligned in the longitudinal direction is spirally wound (for example, a crepe may be mentioned) In the case of a core yarn, a braid, or the like, it is measured as much as possible by the following method. A photograph of the side of the piezoelectric structure was measured, and the pitch HP of the piezoelectric polymer 2 was measured. The spiral pitch HP is a linear distance from the surface of the piezoelectric polymer 2 to the central axis direction required for the surface to return to the surface as shown in FIG. Further, after the bonding structure is fixed by the bonding agent, a cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the piezoelectric structure is cut to take a photograph, and the outer radius Ro and the inner radius Ri of the portion occupied by the piezoelectric structure are measured. In the case where the outer edge and the inner edge of the cross section are elliptical or flat, the average of the long diameter and the short diameter is set to Ro and Ri. When the piezoelectric structure is a cylinder, it is set to Ri=0. The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer with respect to the central axis is calculated from the following formula. However, Rm=2 (Ro 3 -Ri 3 ) /3 (Ro 2 -Ri 2 ), that is, the radius of the piezoelectric structure weighted by the cross-sectional area. [0032] In the photo of the side surface of the piezoelectric structure, the piezoelectric polymer has a uniform surface, or the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the central axis direction is close to 0°, and the like cannot be discriminated. In the case of the pitch of the piezoelectric polymer, the piezoelectric structure fixed by the bonding agent or the like is cut in a plane passing through the central axis, and penetrates in a narrow range from the central axis in a direction perpendicular to the cutting plane. In the X-ray mode, wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis is performed, and the alignment direction is determined to determine the angle with the central axis, and is set to θ. [0033] As in the case of woven or multi-layer core-spun yarn, two or more spirals having different spiral directions (S捻 or Z捻) or spiral pitch are present for the spiral drawn along the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer. In the case of the piezoelectric structure of the spiral, the above-described measurement is performed for each of the spiral direction and the piezoelectric polymer of the spiral, and the piezoelectric polymer of either the spiral direction and the spiral pitch must satisfy the above conditions. . [0034] When the spiral is formed in the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer, the spiral direction (S捻 direction or Z捻 direction) does not affect the polarity (encoding) of the electric charge generated by the torsional deformation. However, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0° or more and 40° or less, and when it is 50° or more and 90° or less, the polarity of the electric charge generated by the torsional deformation is reversed. Further, as in the case of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid, the piezoelectric polymer containing the crystalline polymer having different codes of d14 is also reversed with respect to the polarity of the electric charge generated by the torsional deformation. Therefore, in order to efficiently generate a reverse polarity charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the piezoelectric structure with respect to the torsional deformation, only the piezoelectric polymer containing the same crystalline polymer as the code of d14 as a main component is used. The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis in the piezoelectric structure is preferably concentrated in any of 0° or more and 40° or less, or 50° or more and 90° or less. [0035] However, with respect to the expansion and contraction deformation in the central axis direction of the piezoelectric structure, the polarity (encoding) of the charges generated on the side of the central axis and the outside is high in piezoelectricity due to the spiral along the S direction. In the case of the alignment direction of the molecules, when the alignment direction of the same piezoelectric polymer is arranged along the spiral of the Z-direction, the polarities are opposite to each other, and therefore, a certain arrangement is arranged in the spiral along the S axis. In the case where the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer is arranged along the Z-direction spiral (for example, a fiber composed of a piezoelectric polymer is used for both the S-direction yarn and the Z-direction yarn) In the case of weaving, since the charge generated by the expansion and contraction is offset by the S and Z directions, only the electric charge corresponding to the torsional deformation can be detected. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the piezoelectric polymer includes a P body containing a crystalline polymer having a positive piezoelectric constant d14 as a main component, and a negative crystalline polymer as a main component. The N-body has a length of 1 cm in length with respect to the central axis of the piezoelectric structure, and the mass of the P body in which the alignment axis is wound into a spiral is set to ZP, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral. The mass of the P body in the S direction is set to SP, the alignment axis is wound into a spiral, the mass of the N body disposed in the Z direction is set to ZN, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral and the N body is disposed in the S direction. The quality is set to SN, and the smaller of (ZP+SN) and (SP+ZN) is set to T1, and when the larger one is set to T2, the value of T1/T2 is preferably more than 0.8, and more than 0.9 is more. good. In particular, the piezoelectric polymer includes a P body containing poly-D-lactic acid as a main component and an N body containing poly-L-lactic acid as a main component, and holds 1 cm of the central axis of the piezoelectric structure. The length of the part, the alignment axis is wound into a spiral. The mass of the P body arranged in the Z direction is set to ZP, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral. The mass of the P body is set to SP, and the alignment axis is rolled. The mass of the N-body in which the spiral is arranged in the Z direction is set to ZN, and the quality of the N-body in which the alignment axis is wound into a spiral is set to SN, and (ZP+SN) and (SP+ZN) When the smaller one is T1 and the larger one is T2, the value of T1/T2 is more than 0.8, especially more than 0.8 and more preferably 1.0 or more, and more than 0.9, especially more than 0.9 and 1.0 or less. good. Here, even when the value of T1/T2 is not satisfied, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0° or more and 10° or less, or 80° or more and 90° or less. When the temperature exceeds 10° and is less than 80°, the amount of electric charge generated by the expansion and contraction becomes small, and as a result, the electric signal can be selectively generated with respect to the torsional deformation. Further, as in the case of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid, when a piezoelectric polymer containing d14 codes of different crystalline polymers is mixed and arranged along a spiral of one of S捻 or Z捻It is desirable because the generated charges with respect to the expansion and contraction cancel each other and selectively respond to the torsional deformation. (Structure of Piezoelectric Structure) As described above, in the piezoelectric structure of the present invention, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis exceeds 0° and is less than 90°. In the case, the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer traces the spiral. In particular, a piezoelectric structure, a core yarn, a braid, or the like in which a piezoelectric polymer fiber, a filament, or a tape is disposed in the longitudinal direction is preferably used. In the case of using a strip, it is possible to use a strip which is oriented in a direction other than the longitudinal direction of the strip, and it is possible to use a strip which is wound into a spiral shape, or to form a cylinder by making the longitudinal direction and the central axis direction parallel. Strip. From the viewpoint of improving the productivity and the degree of alignment, from the viewpoint of structural stability, by extending the fiber aligned in the longitudinal direction, using the filament or the ribbon, the core yarn, and the weaving. Especially for weaving is especially good. When the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0°, the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer is parallel to the central axis. The piezoelectric structure to be disposed as described above may be, for example, a fiber, a filament or a tape itself which is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric polymer, or a yarn or a composite yarn or a composite yarn It is preferable that the yarn or the core yarn is coated with a piezoelectric polymer. When the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 90°, the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer is circular on the surface perpendicular to the central axis. As the piezoelectric structure to be disposed as described above, for example, a strip which is aligned with a piezoelectric polymer perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is used, and it is preferable to form a cylinder by making the longitudinal direction and the central axis direction parallel to each other. Aspect. [0038] When the piezoelectric structural system of the present invention is subjected to torsional deformation in the direction of the central axis, a charge of a reverse polarity is generated on the side of the central axis and the outside. The utilization type is not particularly limited, and may be used for adsorption-desorption of a substance or operation due to gravity/repulsive force, electromagnetic wave generation, electrical stimulation to a living body, etc., but the electric charge is taken out as a signal with high efficiency. Or energy, so the shape of the conductor disposed on the side of the central axis and/or outside is more preferable. In the case where the conductor is disposed on the outer side, the conductor is disposed so as to cover the cylindrical side surface or the cylindrical side surface of the piezoelectric structure, although it is preferable in terms of charge utilization efficiency and use as a shield. However, even if only the electrical conductors are partially disposed. From the viewpoint of productivity, bending durability, and stability of the structure, a piezoelectric structure of a braided shape to be described later is preferable. [Wolen Piezoelectric Element] FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a braided piezoelectric structure (hereinafter referred to as a braided piezoelectric element) according to an embodiment. The braided piezoelectric element 101 includes a core portion 103 formed of a conductive fiber B, and a sheath portion 102 formed of a braided piezoelectric fiber A so as to cover the core portion 103. The sheath portion 102 is the present invention. A cylindrical piezoelectric structure. The piezoelectric fiber A may contain polylactic acid as a main component. [0040] In the braided piezoelectric element 101, a plurality of piezoelectric fibers A are densely wound around the outer peripheral surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B. When the braided piezoelectric element 101 is deformed, stress is generated by deformation in a plurality of piezoelectric fibers A, and accordingly, an electric field (piezoelectric effect) is generated in each of the piezoelectric fibers A, and as a result, it is estimated The conductive fiber B has a voltage change that overlaps with the electric field of the plurality of piezoelectric fibers A wound around the conductive fiber B. That is, the electric signal from the conductive fiber B is increased as compared with the case where the braided sheath portion 102 of the piezoelectric fiber A is not used. Accordingly, in the braided piezoelectric element 101, a large electric signal can be taken out even by a stress generated by a relatively small deformation. Further, the conductive fibers B may be plural pieces. Here, it is preferable that the signal intensity detected via the conductive fiber B as the core portion is strongly restrained so as not to change the contact state with the sheath fiber, that is, the piezoelectric fiber A. For example, by increasing the tension when the piezoelectric fiber is woven by the braiding machine, it is possible to obtain a more strongly restrained knitting. Further, since the polylactic acid (PLA) fiber has a weak strength and a high friction, there is a case where the yarn is broken in the yarn path of the braiding machine, and the beautiful yarn cannot be obtained. That is, in the weaving process, the fiber is woven by the movement of the carrier of the bobbin in which the fiber is wound on the disk, so that the fiber is instantaneously repeatedly stretched and relaxed due to the pressure accumulation of the bobbin. It is difficult for PLA fibers to apply high tension to weave. However, such difficulties are known to be improved by applying crepe processing to the PLA fibers. Specifically, it is preferred to apply the roving to the PLA fiber at a number of turns of 10 to 5000 T/m. When it is less than 10 T/m, the effect of the crepe is not obtained, and when it is more than 5000 T/m, the fiber is easily twisted, and it is easy to cause trouble at the time of processing. Further, the angle of the direction of the alignment axis of the PLA to the direction of the knitting axis at the time of knitting is not appropriate, and the signal intensity is small. The number of turns is preferably 30 T/m or more, and more preferably 50 T/m or more. Further, as the upper limit of the number of turns, it is preferably 3,000 T/m or less, more preferably 1,500 T/m or less. The method of the crepe processing is not particularly limited, and all known crepe processing methods can be applied. Further, the fiber processed by the crepe is preferably heat-treated, and by heat treatment, the crepe state is fixed and the fiber treatment is facilitated. The method of heat treatment is not particularly limited. Generally, the temperature of Tg to Tm of the selected fiber is preferably the case of treatment under humidity. Here, the piezoelectric fiber A preferably contains polylactic acid as a main component. The lactic acid unit in the polylactic acid is preferably 90 mol% or more, more preferably 95 mol% or more, and still more preferably 98 mol% or more. In addition, in the braided piezoelectric element 101, even if the sheath portion 102 and the piezoelectric fibers A are combined with each other, the core portion 103 and the conductive portion may be electrically conductive. It is also possible to mix fibers or the like with other fibers other than the fiber B. The length of the braided piezoelectric element composed of the core portion 103 of the conductive fiber B and the sheath portion 102 of the braided piezoelectric fiber A is not particularly limited. For example, even if the braided piezoelectric element is continuously manufactured in the production, it may be used after being cut into a length required later. The length of the braided piezoelectric element is 1 mm to 10 m, preferably 5 mm to 2 m, and preferably 1 cm to 1 m. When the length is too short, the fiber shape is lost, that is, convenience, and when the length is too long, the resistance value of the conductive fiber B needs to be considered. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail. (Electrically Conductive Fiber) As the conductive fiber B, any known fiber can be used as the fiber indicating conductivity. Examples of the conductive fiber B include a fiber composed of a metal fiber, a fiber composed of a conductive polymer, a carbon fiber, a polymer in which a fibrous or granular conductive filler is dispersed, or a fibrous material. A fiber having a conductive layer is provided on the surface. Examples of the method of providing a conductive layer on the surface of the fibrous material include metal coating, conductive polymer coating, and winding of conductive fibers. Among them, metal coating is preferred from the viewpoints of conductivity, durability, flexibility, and the like. The specific method of coating the metal is, for example, vapor deposition, sputtering, electrolytic plating, electroless plating, etc., but plating is preferred from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. The metal thus plated may be referred to as a metal plated fiber. [0045] As the fiber of the substrate to which the metal is applied, well-known fibers can be used regardless of the presence or absence of conductivity, for example, in addition to polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, vinyl chloride fibers, aromatic poly In addition to synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyfluorene fibers, polyether fibers, and polyurethane fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, and acetate, and hydrazine may be used. Regenerated fiber such as copper amine fiber. The fibers of the substrate are not limited thereto, and any known fibers may be used arbitrarily, and these fibers may be used in combination. The metal of the fiber applied to the substrate represents electrical conductivity, and any one may be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, lead, palladium, indium tin oxide, copper sulfide, or the like, and mixtures or alloys thereof may be used. When the conductive fiber B is coated with a metal coated organic fiber having bending resistance, the conductive fiber is broken very rarely, and the durability and safety of the sensor using the piezoelectric element are excellent. [0048] The conductive fiber B may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. Multifilament is preferred from the viewpoint of the stability of the electrical properties. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is from 1 μm to 5000 μm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm. It is preferably 3 μm to 50 μm. In the case of multifilaments, as the number of filaments, it is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 5 to 500, more preferably from 10 to 100. However, the fineness and the number of the conductive fibers B are the fineness and the number of the cores 103 used in the production of the woven fabric, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as one. Conductive fiber B. Here, the core portion 103 is provided to include the entire amount of the fiber even when a fiber other than the conductive fiber is used. [0049] When the diameter of the fiber is small, the strength is lowered and it becomes difficult to handle, and further, in the case where the diameter is large, the flexibility is sacrificed. The cross-sectional shape of the conductive fiber B is preferably a circle or an ellipse from the viewpoint of design and manufacture of the piezoelectric element, but is not limited thereto. [0050] Furthermore, in order to efficiently take out the electrical output from the piezoelectric polymer, it is preferable that the electric resistance is low, and the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, the resistivity of the conductive fiber B is not limited to this in order to obtain sufficient strength for detecting the electrical signal. From the viewpoint of the use of the present invention, the conductive fiber B must have resistance to repeated bending or twisting. As its index, the nodule strength is preferably larger. The knot strength can be measured by the method of JIS L1013 8.6. The degree of the knot strength suitable for the present invention is preferably 0.5 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.5 cN/dtex or more, and most preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more. Further, as another index, the bending rigidity is preferably smaller. The bending rigidity is generally measured by a measuring device such as a KES-FB2 pure bending tester manufactured by KATO TECH Co., Ltd. As a degree of bending rigidity suitable for the present invention, a carbon fiber "TENAX" (registered trademark) HTS40-3K manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. is preferable. Specifically, the bending rigidity of the conductive fiber is 0.05×10. -4 N・m 2 /m below is better, to 0.02×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is preferred, to 0.01×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is better. The optical purity of the polylactic acid is preferably 99% or more, more preferably 99.3% or more, and still more preferably 99.5% or more. When the optical purity is less than 99%, the piezoelectricity is remarkably lowered, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient electric signal by the shape change of the piezoelectric fiber A. In particular, the piezoelectric fiber A contains poly-L-lactic acid or poly-D-lactic acid as a main component, and these optical purity is preferably 99% or more. The piezoelectric fiber A containing polylactic acid as a main component extends at the time of production and is uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is not only uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction, but preferably contains fibers of polylactic acid crystals, and more preferably fibers containing uniaxially oriented polylactic acid crystals. Since polylactic acid has high crystallinity and uniaxial alignment, it indicates large piezoelectricity, and the absolute value of d14 becomes high. [0054] Crystallinity and uniaxial alignment are achieved by uniform PLA crystallization degree X Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) were determined. As the piezoelectric fiber A of the present invention, the degree of crystallization of the PLA is X. Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) satisfy the following formula (1). In the case where the above formula (1) is not satisfied, crystallinity and/or uniaxial alignment are insufficient, and the output value of the electric signal to the operation is lowered, or the sensitivity of the signal to the action in a specific direction is lowered. The value on the left side of the above formula (1) is preferably 0.28 or more, more preferably 0.3 or more. Here, each value is obtained as follows. [0055] The degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo : For the degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo It is obtained by analyzing the crystal structure due to wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD). In the wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), an ultrax18 type X-ray diffraction apparatus manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd. was used, and the X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was recorded on the image plate by the penetration method using the following conditions. X-ray source: Cu-Kα ray (confocal lens) Output: 45kV × 60mA Slot: 1st: 1mmΦ, 2nd: 0.8mmΦ Photography length: 120mm Accumulated time: 10 minutes Sample: 35mg of polylactic acid fiber and yarn into 3cm Fiber bundles. In the obtained X-ray diffraction pattern, the total scattering intensity Itotal is obtained at the azimuth angle, and the diffraction peaks from the homopolylactic acid crystal appearing in the vicinity of 2θ=16.5°, 18.5°, and 24.3° are obtained here. The sum of the integrated intensities ΣIHMi. From these values, the degree of crystallization of the per-lactic acid is determined according to the following formula (2). Homo . Homopolymeric crystallization degree X Homo (%)=ΣI HMi /I Total ×100 (2) In addition, ΣI HMi It is calculated by subtracting the background or amorphous diffuse scattering from the total scattering intensity. (2) Crystal orientation degree Ao: For the crystal orientation degree Ao, in the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by the above wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), for 2θ=16.5 appearing in the moving diameter direction The diffraction peak from the homopolylactic acid crystal near °, taking the intensity distribution with respect to the azimuth angle (°), and the total value of the half-value width from the obtained distribution curveΣ Wi (°) is calculated by the following formula (3). Crystalline orientation Ao (%) = (360-ΣW i ÷360×100 (3) [0057] In addition, since polylactic acid is a polyester which is rapidly decomposed by water, it is possible to add a known isocyanate compound, an oxazoline compound, or a ring when there is a problem in heat and humidity resistance. A hydrolyzing agent such as an oxygen compound or a carbodiimide compound may also be used. In addition, it is also possible to improve the physical properties by adding an oxidation preventing agent such as a phosphate compound, a plasticizer, a photodegradation preventing agent, or the like, as needed. [0058] The piezoelectric fiber A may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is 1 μm to 5 mm, preferably 5 μm to 2 mm, more preferably 10 μm to 1 mm. In the case of a multifilament, the monofilament diameter is from 0.1 μm to 5 mm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm, more preferably from 3 μm to 50 μm. The number of filaments of the multifilament is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 50 to 50,000, and more preferably from 100 to 20,000. However, the fineness or the number of strips of the piezoelectric fiber A is determined by the fineness and the number of the strips of each carrier at the time of knitting, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as A piezoelectric fiber A. Here, in the case where fibers other than the piezoelectric fibers are used in one carrier, the total amount is included. In order to make such a piezoelectric polymer into the piezoelectric fiber A, any one of the well-known methods for forming a fiber from a polymer can be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, a method of performing fibrillation by extrusion molding a piezoelectric polymer, a method of fibrillating a piezoelectric polymer by melt spinning, and a piezoelectricity by dry or wet spinning can be employed. A method in which a molecule is fibrillated, a method in which a piezoelectric polymer is fibrillated by electrospinning, a method of cutting a film after forming a film, and the like. These spinning conditions may be applied to a piezoelectric polymer to be used in accordance with a known method, and a melt spinning method which is industrially easy to produce may be used. Also, after the fibers are formed, the formed fibers are extended. Accordingly, the uniaxially elongated alignment is formed and the piezoelectric piezoelectric fiber A exhibiting large piezoelectricity is contained. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is subjected to a treatment such as dyeing, crepe, bonding, heat treatment, or the like before the fiber produced as described above is knitted. Further, since the piezoelectric fibers A are frictionally broken or broken during the formation of the weaving, it is preferable that the fibers and the abrasion resistance are relatively high, and the strength is 1.5 cN/dtex. The above is preferable, preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 2.5 cN/dtex or more, and 3.0 cN/dtex or more. The abrasion resistance can be evaluated by the JIS L1095 9.10.2 B method or the like, and the number of rubbing times is preferably 100 or more, preferably 1,000 or more, more preferably 5,000 or more, and most preferably 10,000 or more. The method for improving the abrasion resistance is not particularly limited, and all known methods can be used, for example, the degree of crystallization can be increased, or fine particles can be added, or surface processing can be performed. Further, when processing into a braid, it is also possible to apply a lubricant to the fibers to reduce friction. Further, it is preferable that the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber and the shrinkage ratio of the conductive fiber is small. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing is performed or after the fabric is produced, or when the heat is applied, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal becomes weak. The situation. When the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio described later, the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(p) of the piezoelectric fiber and the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(c) of the conductive fiber are preferably in the following formula (4). The left side of the above formula (4) is preferably 5 or less, and more preferably 3 or less. Further, it is preferable that the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is smaller than the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the fiber other than the conductive fiber, for example, the insulating fiber. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing or after the fabric is produced, or the film is bent, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal is weakened. Happening. When the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio, the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(p) of the piezoelectric fiber and the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(i) of the insulating fiber satisfy the following formula (5). The left side of the above formula (5) is preferably 5 or less, and more preferably 3 or less. Further, it is preferable that the piezoelectric fiber has a small shrinkage ratio. For example, when the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio, the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is preferably 15% or less, preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and most preferably 3% or less. good. As a means for reducing the shrinkage ratio, various methods can be applied. For example, the degree of alignment relaxation or crystallization of the amorphous portion is improved by heat treatment, whereby the shrinkage ratio can be lowered, and the timing of performing the heat treatment is not particularly limited, and extension is exemplified. After the crepe, after the weaving, after the cloth, and so on. Further, the boiling water shrinkage rate was measured by the following method. A skein having a number of rolls of 20 times was produced by a cloth inspection machine of 1.125 m around the outer frame, and a load of 0.022 cN/dtex was applied, and the initial skein length L0 was measured by hanging on a scale plate. Thereafter, the skein was treated in a boiling water bath at 100 ° C for 30 minutes, left to cool, and the above load was applied again, and suspended on a scale plate, and the length L of the skein after shrinkage was measured. The boiling water shrinkage ratio was calculated by the following formula (6) using the measured L0 and L. Boiling water shrinkage ratio = (L0 - L) / L0 × 100 (%) (6) [Coating] The conductive fiber B, that is, the core portion 103 is a piezoelectric fiber A, that is, a braided sheath portion 102 covers the surface. The thickness of the sheath portion 102 covering the conductive fibers B is preferably 1 μm to 10 mm, more preferably 5 μm to 5 mm, still more preferably 10 μm to 3 mm, and most preferably 20 μm to 1 mm. When it is too thin, there is a problem that there is a problem at the point of strength. Further, when it is too thick, the braided piezoelectric element 101 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. In addition, the sheath portion 102 is referred to herein as a layer adjacent to the core portion 103. In the braided piezoelectric element 101, the total fineness of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 102 is preferably 1/2 or more and 20 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B of the core portion 103. It is preferably 1 time or more and 15 times or less, more preferably 2 times or more and 10 times or less. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A to the total fineness of the conductive fiber B is too small, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is too small, the conductive fiber B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the conductive fiber B is present. Contact with other conductive fibers that are close to each other. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A is too large for the total fineness of the conductive fiber B, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is excessively large, and the braided piezoelectric element 101 becomes hard and becomes hard to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 101 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. The total fineness referred to herein is the sum of the deniers of the piezoelectric fibers A constituting the sheath portion 102. For example, in the case of generally 8-strand weaving, the total densities of the eight fibers are obtained. Further, in the braided piezoelectric element 101, the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 102 is preferably 1/20 or more and 2 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B. It is preferably 1/15 times or more and 1.5 times or less, more preferably 1/10 times or more and 1 time or less. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is too small with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are too small, the conductive fibers B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the piezoelectric fibers A are cut off. Hey. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is excessively large with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are excessively thick, and the braided piezoelectric element 101 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 101 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. In the case where the conductive fiber B is a metal fiber or the metal fiber is blended in the conductive fiber A or the piezoelectric fiber B, the ratio of the fineness is not limited to the above. In the present invention, the above ratio is important in terms of contact area or coverage ratio, that is, from the viewpoint of area and volume. For example, in the case where the specific gravity of each fiber exceeds 2, the ratio of the average cross-sectional area of the fibers is preferably the ratio of the above-mentioned fineness. [0069] Although the piezoelectric fiber A and the conductive fiber B are preferably as close as possible to each other, in order to improve the adhesion, an anchor layer or a bonding layer may be provided between the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A. . [0070] The method of coating is a method in which the conductive fiber B is used as a core yarn, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound around the braided shape. Further, the braided shape of the piezoelectric fiber A is not limited as long as it can output an electric signal to the stress generated by the applied load, and it is preferable to have the 8-strand braid or the 16-strand weave having the core portion 103. The shape of the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A is not particularly limited, and it is preferably as close as possible to a concentric shape. In the case where a multifilament is used as the conductive fiber B, the piezoelectric fiber A may be coated with at least a part of the surface (fiber peripheral surface) of the multifilament of the conductive fiber B, even if It is also possible to coat the surface of the fibrils (fiber peripheral surface) constituting the multifilaments with the piezoelectric fibers A, even if they are not coated. The state in which the piezoelectric fibers A are coated in the respective filaments of the multifilaments of the conductive fibers B may be appropriately set in consideration of performance, workability, and the like of the piezoelectric element. Since the braided piezoelectric element 101 of the present invention does not need to have electrodes on its surface, it is not necessary to further coat the body of the braided piezoelectric element 101, and further, it is difficult to cause an erroneous operation. (Manufacturing Method) The braided piezoelectric element 101 of the present invention covers the surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B by the braided piezoelectric fibers A. However, as a method for producing the same, for example, the following method can be mentioned. In other words, the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A are separately produced, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound into a braided shape to coat the conductive fiber B. In this case, it is preferable to cover as close as possible to a concentric shape. In this case, the spinning and stretching conditions in which the piezoelectric polymer A forming the piezoelectric fiber A is preferably used in the case of using polylactic acid have a melt spinning temperature of 150 ° C to 250 ° C. Preferably, the extension temperature is preferably from 40 ° C to 150 ° C, the stretching ratio is preferably from 1.1 to 5.0, and the crystallization temperature is preferably from 80 ° C to 170 ° C. [0075] As the piezoelectric fiber A wound around the conductive fiber B, a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments may be used, and even a monofilament (including a textile yarn) may be used. In addition, as the conductive fiber B wound around the piezoelectric fiber A, even if a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments is used, a single filament (including a textile yarn) may be used. Further, the conductive fiber B may be subjected to crepe processing. [0076] As a preferred embodiment of the coating, the piezoelectric fiber A can be knitted into a braided shape by using the conductive fiber B as a core yarn, and a tubular braid (Tubular Braid) can be produced to be coated. More specifically, an 8-strand woven or a 16-knit woven fabric having a core portion 103 can be cited. In this case, although the piezoelectric fiber A is preferably a fiber subjected to crepe processing, even if all of the piezoelectric fibers are subjected to crepe processing, a part of the piezoelectric fiber may be subjected to crepe processing. Further, all of the piezoelectric fibers A used in the twist direction of the piezoelectric fibers A do not have to be in the same direction. For example, it is possible to use a fiber which is subjected to S twist processing for a fiber which is rotated clockwise during knitting, and a fiber which is subjected to Z twist processing for a fiber which is rotated in the counterclockwise direction. Further, in the case of, for example, 8-strand weaving, it is not necessary to use all of the eight piezoelectric fibers, and other fibers may be used in the range of the signal intensity to be used as the purpose. Of course, it is also possible to use a fiber which is subjected to crepe processing of the conductive fiber of the core and the conductive fiber which becomes a shield layer. However, for example, even if the piezoelectric fiber A is in the form of a braided tube, the conductive fiber B is regarded as a core portion, and the braided tube may be inserted and coated. [0077] By the above-described manufacturing method, the braided piezoelectric element 101 in which the surface of the conductive fiber B is coated with the braided piezoelectric fiber A can be obtained. [0078] The braided piezoelectric element 101 of the present invention can be relatively easily manufactured because it is necessary to form an electrode for detecting an electric signal on the surface. (Protective Layer) A protective layer may be provided on the outermost surface of the braided piezoelectric element 101 of the present invention. The protective layer is preferably insulating, and is preferably composed of a polymer from the viewpoint of flexibility. In the case where the protective layer is insulative, of course, in this case, the protective layer may be deformed together or rubbed on the protective layer, but if the external force reaches the piezoelectric fiber A, it may be induced. When it is polarized, it is not particularly limited. The protective layer is not limited to those formed by coating of a polymer or the like, and may be a wound film, a cloth, a fiber, or the like, or may be combined. [0080] As the thickness of the protective layer, the shear stress is more easily transmitted to the piezoelectric fiber A at a thinner thickness, but when it is too thin, the protective layer itself is easily broken, and the like. 10 nm to 200 μm is preferred, preferably 50 nm to 50 μm, more preferably 70 nm to 30 μm, and most preferably 100 nm to 10 μm. The shape of the piezoelectric element can also be formed by the protective layer. Further, for the purpose of reducing noise, the electromagnetic wave shielding layer may have a woven structure. The electromagnetic wave shielding layer is not particularly limited, but a conductive film, a cloth, a fiber, or the like may be wound even if a conductive material is applied. As the electromagnetic wave shielding layer, the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, if the effect of the electromagnetic wave shielding layer is obtained, the resistivity is not limited thereto. The electromagnetic wave shielding layer may be provided on the surface of the piezoelectric fiber A of the sheath portion, and may be provided on the outer side of the protective layer. Of course, even if a plurality of layers of the electromagnetic wave shielding layer and the protective layer are laminated, the order is appropriately determined depending on the purpose. Further, a layer of a plurality of layers of piezoelectric fibers or a layer of a plurality of layers of conductive fibers for taking out signals may be provided. Needless to say, the order of the protective layer, the electromagnetic wave shielding layer, the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers, and the layer composed of the conductive fibers is appropriately determined depending on the purpose. Further, as a method of winding, a method of forming a woven structure or covering the outer layer of the sheath portion 102 may be mentioned. When the conductor is disposed on the center axis side and the outside of the piezoelectric structure as described above, it can be considered that the conductor on the central axis side and the conductor on the outer side are electrodes of two poles and sandwich piezoelectricity. A capacitor-like piezoelectric element of a polymer (dielectric). In order to effectively take out the electric signal induced by the polarization of the piezoelectric structure by deformation, the value of the insulation resistance between the electrodes is preferably 1 MΩ or more when measured with a DC voltage of 3 V. It is preferably 10 MΩ or more, more preferably 100 MΩ or more. Further, even if the value of the equivalent series resistance Rs and the equivalent series capacitance Cs obtained by the response when the AC voltage of 1 MHz is supplied between the electrodes is analyzed, the value is effectively taken out by the deformation. In the polarization-induced electrical signal of the piezoelectric structure, the responsiveness is improved, so that it is preferably within a specific value range. That is, the value of Rs is preferably 1 μΩ or more and 100 kΩ or less, preferably 1 mΩ or more and 10 kΩ or less, more preferably 1 mΩ or more and 1 kΩ or less, and the value of Cs is divided by the length of the central axis direction of the piezoelectric structure ( The value of cm) is preferably 0.1 pF or more and 1000 pF or less, more preferably 0.2 pF or more and 100 pF or less, and more preferably 0.4 pF or more and 10 pF or less. As described above, when the piezoelectric structure and the element composed of the electrode are in a good state, the equivalent series resistance obtained by supplying a response of supplying an alternating current voltage of 1 MHz between the electrodes is analyzed. The values of the value Rs and the equivalent series capacitance Cs are obtained within a specific range, and it is preferable to use the values for the inspection of the piezoelectric structure. Furthermore, the piezoelectric structure can be inspected not only by the values of Rs and Cs obtained by the analysis of the alternating voltage, but also by analyzing the transient response with respect to other electrical stimuli. (Operation) The braided piezoelectric element 101 of the present invention can be applied, in particular, to a central axis of a cylindrical piezoelectric structure formed from the sheath portion 102, that is, a twist of the conductive fiber B as an axis. In the case of deformation (stress), a large electrical signal is efficiently output. In addition, it does not deform or bend telescopically, and the frictional deformation outputs a large electrical signal. Here, as the torsional deformation supplied to the braided piezoelectric element 101, it is preferable to apply it in a range of the amount of deformation in which the fibers in the unfilled element start plastically deforming. The amount of deformation depends on the physical properties of the fibers used. However, it is not limited to this use without the intention of repeating specifications. (Corrugated Piezoelectric Element) FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a cloth-like piezoelectric element using a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 is provided with a fabric 108 including at least one braided piezoelectric element 101. At least one of the fibers (including knitting) constituting the fabric of the fabric 108 is a braided piezoelectric element 101, and the braided piezoelectric element 101 is not limited as long as it functions as a piezoelectric element, and even any braid can be used. . In the case of forming a cloth, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, it is possible to perform interlacing, interlacing, and the like in combination with other fibers (including knitting). Of course, even if the braided piezoelectric element 101 is used as one of the fibers (for example, warp or weft) constituting the fabric, the braided piezoelectric element 101 can be embroidered on the fabric even if it is joined. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 is a flat fabric in which at least one of the braided piezoelectric element 101 and the insulating fiber 109 is disposed as a warp yarn, and the conductive fiber 110 and the insulating fiber 109 are alternately arranged as a weft. The conductive fiber 110 may be the same type as the conductive fiber B, and may be a different type of conductive fiber, and the insulating fiber 109 will be described later. Further, all or a part of the insulating fibers 109 and/or the conductive fibers 110 may be in a woven form. In this case, when the braided piezoelectric element 107 is deformed by bending or the like, the braided piezoelectric element 101 is also deformed with the deformation, and is output from the braided piezoelectric element 101. The electrical signal can detect the deformation of the braided piezoelectric element 107. Further, since the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 can be used as a fabric (woven fabric), it can be applied to, for example, a garment-type wearable sensor. Further, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 shown in FIG. 5, the conductive fibers 110 are in contact with the braided piezoelectric element 101. Therefore, the conductive fiber 110 is in contact with at least a part of the braided piezoelectric element 101, and covered, it is possible to shield at least a part of the electromagnetic wave to be applied to the braided piezoelectric element 101 from the outside. Such a conductive fiber 110 has a function of reducing the influence of electromagnetic waves on the braided piezoelectric element 101 by being grounded. That is, the conductive fiber 110 can function as an electromagnetic wave shield of the braided piezoelectric element 101. According to this, even if the conductive fabric for electromagnetic wave shielding is not superposed on the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, for example, the S/N ratio of the piezoelectric element 107 can be remarkably improved. In this case, from the viewpoint of electromagnetic wave shielding, the higher the ratio of the conductive fibers 110 of the weft yarn (in the case of FIG. 5) crossing the braided piezoelectric element 101, the better. Specifically, it is preferable that 30% or more of the fibers which form the fabric of the fabric 108 and which intersect the braided piezoelectric element 101 are conductive fibers, preferably 40% or more, more preferably 50% or more. In this manner, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, by placing the conductive fibers as at least a part of the fibers constituting the fabric, the piezoelectric element 107 having the electromagnetic wave shield can be provided. [0088] The woven structure of the woven fabric may be exemplified by a three-fold structure such as a plain weave, a twill weave, a satin weave, a modified structure, a double-weave structure such as a double weave, a weft double weave, and the like. Even if it is a warp knitted fabric (weft weaving), it can be used as a warp. As the organization of the circular knitting fabric (weft knitting), it is preferable to exemplify a flat knitting, a rib knitting, a double sided knitting, a reverse stitch knitting, a hanging needle knitting, a floating thread knitting, a half-side knitting, a yarn knitting, and a wool knitting. As a warp knitting organization, a single-sided warp-knit flat weave, a single-sided warp-knitted satin stitch, a double-sided warp-knitted quilt, a velvet-warp woven, a velvet knitting, a jacquard knitting, and the like can be exemplified. The number of layers may be a single layer or a multilayer of two or more layers. Further, it is also possible to form a woven fabric or a woven fabric composed of a bristles and a base tissue portion which are formed by woven wool and/or loops. (Multiple Piezoelectric Elements) Further, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, a plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 101 can be arranged and used. As the arrangement, for example, as the warp yarn or the weft yarn, even if the braided piezoelectric element 101 is used entirely, the braided piezoelectric element 101 may be used for every few or a part. Further, even if a certain portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 101 as a warp yarn, and the other portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 101 as a weft yarn. [0090] In this manner, when the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 101 are arranged to form the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, since the braided piezoelectric element 101 does not have an electrode on the surface, it is possible to select it in a wide range. The advantages of arrangement and weaving. Further, in the case where the plurality of woven piezoelectric elements 101 are arranged, since the distance between the conductive fibers B is short, efficiency is obtained in the extraction of the electric signals. (Insulating Fiber) In the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, an insulating fiber can be used in a portion other than the braided piezoelectric element 101 (and the conductive fiber 110). In this case, the insulating fiber is used for the purpose of improving the flexibility of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, and a fiber having a stretchable material or shape can be used. In this way, by arranging the insulating fibers in addition to the braided piezoelectric element 101 (and the conductive fibers 110), the operability of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 can be improved (illustration: as a wearable sensor) Activity is easy). [0094] As such an insulating fiber, if the volume resistivity is 10 6 It can be used when Ω・cm or more, to 10 8 Ω·cm or more is preferred, with 10 10 Ω·cm or more is more preferable. [0095] As the insulating fiber, for example, in addition to polyester fiber, nylon fiber, acrylic fiber, polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, vinyl chloride fiber, aromatic polyamide fiber, polyfluorene fiber, polyether fiber, polyamine group In addition to synthetic fibers such as formate fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, and regenerated fibers such as hydrazine or copper amine can be used. It is not limited to these, and the well-known insulating fiber can be used arbitrarily. In addition, even if these insulating fibers are used in combination, they may be used in combination with fibers having no insulating properties, and may be fibers having overall insulating properties. [0096] Further, it is also possible to use fibers of all known cross-sectional shapes. (Applicable Techniques of Piezoelectric Element) The piezoelectric element such as the braided piezoelectric element 101 or the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107 of the present invention can be output as a braided piezoelectric element even in any aspect. The central axis is the torsional deformation (stress) of the shaft as an electrical signal, and can be utilized as a sensor (device) that detects the magnitude of the stress applied to its piezoelectric element and/or the position to be applied. In the method of arranging the braided piezoelectric element in the piezoelectric element, when the piezoelectric element is bent, stretched, and subjected to deformation or stress such as pressing, the braided piezoelectric element is torsionally deformed. It is also possible to output electrical signals by deformation or stress of bending, stretching, pressing, etc. of the cloth-like piezoelectric element. Further, the electric signal may be used as a power source for powering another device or a power generating element such as power storage. Specifically, it is used for power generation by a movable part of a spontaneous exerciser such as a human, an animal, a robot, or a machine, and the power generation due to the surface of the sole, the dressing, and the structure of the external pressure is caused by the fluid. The shape changes in the power generation. Furthermore, since the electrical signal is emitted by the shape change in the fluid, it is also possible to adsorb or suppress the adhesion of the charged substance in the fluid. 6 is a block diagram showing a device 111 including a piezoelectric element 112 of the present invention. The device 111 includes a piezoelectric element 112 (exemplified by a braided piezoelectric element 101 and a cloth-like piezoelectric element 107), and an electric signal that is arbitrarily selected to amplify the output from the output terminal of the piezoelectric element 112 in response to the applied pressure. The amplifying means 113 and the output means 114 for outputting the electric signal amplified by the arbitrarily selected amplifying means 113, and the transmitting means 115 for transmitting the electric signal outputted from the output means 114 to an external device (not shown) Circuit. When the device 111 is used, the electrical signal outputted according to the contact, pressure, and shape change of the surface of the piezoelectric element 112 can be detected and applied to the piezoelectric element by an external device (not shown). The central axis of the braided piezoelectric element is the magnitude of the torsional deformation (stress) of the shaft and/or the position to be applied. [0099] The arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be constructed by, for example, a software program, or may be constructed by a combination of various electronic circuits and software programs. For example, the software program is installed in an arithmetic processing unit (not shown), and the arithmetic processing unit operates in accordance with the software program, thereby realizing the functions of the respective units. Furthermore, the arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be realized as a semiconductor integrated circuit for writing a software program for realizing the functions of the respective units. Further, the transmission method by the transmission means 115 may be determined by wireless or wired, and may be appropriately determined in accordance with the sensor configured. Alternatively, even in the device 111, an arithmetic means (not shown) for calculating the magnitude of the stress applied to the piezoelectric element 112 and/or the applied position based on the electrical signal output from the output means 114 may be provided. . Further, not only the amplifying means but also a well-known signal processing means such as a means for removing noise or a means for performing processing in combination with other signals may be used. The order of connection of these means can be appropriately changed depending on the purpose. Of course, even if the electrical signal output from the piezoelectric element 112 is transmitted to the external device as it is, the signal processing can be performed. 7 and FIG. 8 are schematic views showing a configuration example of an apparatus including a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The amplification means 113 of Figs. 7 and 8 corresponds to the description with reference to Fig. 6, and the output means 114 and the transmission means 115 of Fig. 6 are not shown in Figs. 7 and 8. In the case of constituting the device having the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, the input terminal of the amplification means 113 is connected to the output terminal of the core portion 103 (formed by the conductive fiber B) of the braided piezoelectric element 101. The wire and the earth terminal are connected to a braided piezoelectric element or conductive fiber 110 which is different from the braided piezoelectric element 101 connected to the input terminal of the amplification means 113. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, the drawing wire from the core portion 103 of the braided piezoelectric element 101 is connected to the input terminal of the amplifying means 113, and the weaving pressure is applied. The conductive fibers 110 that the electrical components 101 cross and contact are grounded. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 101 are arranged in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 107, the pull-out line from the core portion 103 of one knitted piezoelectric element 101 is connected to The input terminal of the amplification means 113 grounds the pull-out line from the core portion 103 of the other braided piezoelectric element 101 arranged in the braided piezoelectric element 101. When the torsional deformation centering on the central axis of the braided piezoelectric element 101 is generated, the piezoelectric fiber A is polarized. The influence of the arrangement of the positive and negative charges generated by the polarization of the piezoelectric fiber A causes the movement of the electric charge on the drawing line from the output terminal of the conductive fiber B forming the core portion 103 of the braided piezoelectric element 101. On the pull-out line from the conductive fiber B, a slight electrical signal (i.e., current or potential difference) appears in the movement of the electric charge. In other words, the electric signal generated at the time of the torsional deformation of the central axis of the braided piezoelectric element 101 (the central axis of the cylindrical shape in which the piezoelectric polymer is disposed) is outputted from the output terminal. The amplifying means 113 amplifies the electric signal, the output means 114 outputs the electric signal amplified by the amplifying means 113, and the transmitting means 115 transmits the electric signal outputted from the output means 114 to an external device (not shown). The device 111 of the present invention has flexibility, and can be used in any of a braided shape and a cloth-like shape, so that it can be imagined for a very wide range of applications. Specific examples of the device 111 of the present invention include a touch panel that is shaped like a hat, a glove, a sock, and the like, which is a garment, a support, a handkerchief, and the like, and is used as a surface pressure sensor for humans or animals. For example, a sensor that bends, twists, and expands and contracts the joint portion in the shape of a glove, a belt, a support, or the like is detected. For example, when it is used in a person, it is possible to use an information collection for an action such as a joint for medical use, an entertainment use, or an interface for moving a lost tissue or a robot. Further, a surface pressure sensor which is a cloth doll or a robot that mimics an animal or a human type, and a sensor that detects bending, twisting, and expansion of the joint portion can be used. Further, a surface pressure sensor or a shape change sensor which is a bedding, a sole, a glove, a chair, a dressing, a bag, a flag, or the like as a bed sheet or a pillow or the like can be used. [0103] Further, the device 111 of the present invention is It is woven or cloth-like and has flexibility. Therefore, it can be used as a surface pressure sensor or shape change sensor by attaching or covering the surface of all or part of all structures. Moreover, since the device 111 of the present invention can generate sufficient electrical signals only by rubbing the surface of the piezoelectric element 101, it can be used for a touch sensor-like touch input device or pointing device. Further, since the surface of the object to be measured is wiped by the braided piezoelectric element 101, position information or shape information in the height direction of the object to be measured can be obtained, and thus it can be used for surface shape measurement or the like. [0105] Hereinafter, the second invention will be described in detail. (Wolen piezoelectric element) In the braided piezoelectric element according to the second aspect of the invention, the piezoelectric polymer in the structure according to the first aspect of the invention can be arranged in a cylindrical shape. An element having a conductor made of a conductive fiber is disposed at a position of the central axis, that is, an element in which a piezoelectric polymer is woven into a braided shape as a piezoelectric fiber and disposed around the conductive fiber. Hereinafter, the braided piezoelectric element according to the second invention will be described in detail. 10 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The braided piezoelectric element 201 includes a core portion 203 formed of a conductive fiber B, and a sheath portion 202 formed of a piezoelectric fiber A having a braided shape so as to cover the core portion 203, and a conductive portion of the sheath portion 202. Layer 204. The conductive layer 204 also functions as an electrode that serves as a counter electrode of the conductive fiber of the core portion 203, and the conductive fiber that shields the core portion 203 prevents electromagnetic waves from the outside, and suppresses the noise signal generated by the conductive fiber in the core portion 203. The function of the shield. [0107] The coating ratio of the sheath portion 202 by the conductive layer 204 is preferably 25% or more. Here, the coverage ratio is a ratio of the area of the conductive material 205 contained in the conductive layer 204 when the conductive layer 204 is projected to the sheath portion 202 and the surface area of the sheath portion 202, and the value is preferably 25% or more. More than 50% is preferred, and more preferably 75% or more. When the coverage of the conductive layer 204 is less than 25%, the effect of suppressing the noise signal may not be sufficiently exhibited. When the conductive material 205 is not exposed to the surface of the conductive layer 204, for example, when the fiber containing the conductive material 205 is used as the conductive layer 204 to coat the sheath portion 202, the sheath portion 202 toward the fiber may be applied. The ratio of the area at the time of projection to the surface area of the sheath portion 202 is set as the coverage ratio. The conductive material 205 is a conductive material contained in the conductive layer 204 and corresponds to a known owner. In the braided piezoelectric element 201, a plurality of piezoelectric fibers A are densely wound around the outer peripheral surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B. When the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, stress is generated by deformation of each of the plurality of piezoelectric fibers A. Accordingly, an electric field (piezoelectric effect) is generated in each of the piezoelectric fibers A, and as a result, it is estimated The conductive fiber B has a voltage change that overlaps with the electric field of the plurality of piezoelectric fibers A wound around the conductive fiber B. That is, the electric signal from the conductive fiber B is increased as compared with the case where the braided sheath portion 202 of the piezoelectric fiber A is not used. Accordingly, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, a large electric signal can be taken out even by a stress generated by a relatively small deformation. Further, the conductive fibers B may be plural pieces. From the viewpoint of achieving the object of the second invention, the braided piezoelectric element 201 has a ratio d/Rc of the thickness Rc of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers to the radius Rc of the core portion 203, which will be described later. In addition, the configuration shown in FIG. 10 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of selectively outputting a large electric signal to the torsional deformation centered on the central axis thereof, the following configuration is employed. It is better. As the braided piezoelectric element 201 that selectively outputs a large electric signal to the torsional deformation centered on the central axis, the piezoelectric fiber A is arranged in a cylindrical shape using the aligned piezoelectric polymer. The alignment angle of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis of the cylindrical shape in which the piezoelectric polymer is disposed is 0° or more and 40° or less, or 50° or more and 90° or less, and 0° or more and 35° or less. The following is preferably 55° or less and 90° or less, more preferably 0° or more and 30° or less, or 60° or more and 90° or less, and more preferably 0° or more and 25° or less or 65° or more and 90° or less. The above is less than 15° or more than 75° and more preferably 90° or less, and more preferably 0° or more and 10° or less, or 80° or more and 90° or less, and the piezoelectric polymer includes the alignment axis. The crystal constant of the piezoelectric constant d14 at the time of the three-axis is a structure in which a crystalline polymer having a value of 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC/N or less is a main component. Further, the piezoelectric polymer is more preferably a structure comprising a P-body having a positive piezoelectric polymer d14 as a main component and a negative crystalline polymer as a main component. The N body has a length of 1 cm for the central axis of the structure, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral. The mass of the P body disposed in the Z direction is set to ZP, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral. The mass of the P body is set to SP, the alignment axis is wound into a spiral, the mass of the N body is set to ZN, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral, and the N is disposed at the S direction. The mass of the body is set to SN, and one of (ZP+SN) and (SP+ZN) is set to T1, and when the larger one is set to T2, the value of T1/T2 exceeds 0.8, especially over 0.8. Below 1.0, or above 0.9, especially above 0.9 and below 1.0. Further, although the value of d14 indicates different values depending on molding conditions, purity, and measurement environment, in the present invention, the degree of crystallization of the crystalline polymer in the piezoelectric polymer actually used is measured. Crystalline alignment degree, using the crystalline polymer to form a uniaxially stretched film having the same degree of crystallinity and crystal orientation, and if the absolute value of the film d14 is 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC in the actual use temperature. In the case of a value of 5% or less, the crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer of the present embodiment is not limited to the specific crystalline polymer described later. The d14 of the film sample can be measured by various methods, but for example, a metal is vapor-deposited on both sides of the film sample to form a sample of the electrode, and is cut into a rectangle having four sides in a direction inclined by 45 degrees from the extending direction. The value of d14 can be measured by measuring the charge generated at the electrodes on both sides when a tensile load is applied in the longitudinal direction thereof. When a fiber containing polylactic acid as a main component is used as the piezoelectric fiber of the present invention, the lactic acid unit in the polylactic acid is preferably 90 mol% or more, and more preferably 95 mol% or more. It is better to use 98% or more. In addition, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, even if the sheath portion 202 and the other fibers other than the piezoelectric fiber A are combined with each other, the core portion 203 and the conductive portion may be electrically conductive. It is also possible to mix fibers or the like with other fibers other than the fiber B. The length of the braided piezoelectric element composed of the core portion 203 of the conductive fiber B, the sheath portion 202 of the braided piezoelectric fiber A, and the conductive layer 204 of the sheath portion 202 is not particularly limited. For example, even if the braided piezoelectric element is continuously manufactured in the production, it may be used after being cut into a length required later. The length of the braided piezoelectric element is 1 mm to 10 m, preferably 5 mm to 2 m, and preferably 1 cm to 1 m. When the length is too short, the fiber shape is lost, that is, convenience, and when the length is too long, the resistance value of the conductive fiber B needs to be considered. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail. (Electrically Conductive Fiber) As the conductive fiber B, any known fiber can be used as the fiber indicating conductivity. Examples of the conductive fiber B include a fiber composed of a metal fiber, a fiber composed of a conductive polymer, a carbon fiber, a polymer in which a fibrous or granular conductive filler is dispersed, or a fibrous material. A fiber having a conductive layer is provided on the surface. Examples of the method of providing a conductive layer on the surface of the fibrous material include metal coating, conductive polymer coating, and winding of conductive fibers. Among them, metal coating is preferred from the viewpoints of conductivity, durability, flexibility, and the like. The specific method of coating the metal is, for example, vapor deposition, sputtering, electrolytic plating, electroless plating, etc., but plating is preferred from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. The metal thus plated may be referred to as a metal plated fiber. [0115] As the fiber of the substrate to which the metal is applied, well-known fibers can be used regardless of the presence or absence of conductivity, for example, in addition to polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, vinyl chloride fibers, aromatic poly In addition to synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyfluorene fibers, polyether fibers, and polyurethane fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, and acetate, and hydrazine may be used. Regenerated fiber such as copper amine fiber. The fibers of the substrate are not limited thereto, and any known fibers may be used arbitrarily, and these fibers may be used in combination. The metal of the fiber applied to the substrate represents electrical conductivity, and any one may be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, lead, palladium, indium tin oxide, copper sulfide, or the like, and mixtures or alloys thereof may be used. When the conductive fiber B is coated with a metal coated organic fiber having bending resistance, the conductive fiber is rarely broken, and the durability and safety of the sensor using the piezoelectric element are excellent. [0118] The conductive fiber B may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. Multifilament is preferred from the viewpoint of the stability of the electrical properties. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is from 1 μm to 5000 μm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm. It is preferably 3 μm to 50 μm. In the case of multifilaments, as the number of filaments, it is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 5 to 500, more preferably from 10 to 100. However, the fineness and the number of the conductive fibers B are the fineness and the number of the core portions 203 used in the production of the knitting, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as one. Conductive fiber B. Here, the core portion 203 is provided to include the entire amount of the fiber even when a fiber other than the conductive fiber is used. [0119] When the diameter of the fiber is small, the strength is lowered and it becomes difficult to handle, and further, in the case where the diameter is large, flexibility is sacrificed. The cross-sectional shape of the conductive fiber B is preferably a circle or an ellipse from the viewpoint of design and manufacture of the piezoelectric element, but is not limited thereto. [0120] Furthermore, in order to efficiently take out the electrical output from the piezoelectric polymer, it is preferable that the electric resistance is low, and the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, the resistivity of the conductive fiber B is not limited to this in order to obtain sufficient strength for detecting the electrical signal. From the viewpoint of the use of the present invention, the conductive fiber B must have resistance to repeated bending or twisting. As its index, the nodule strength is preferably larger. The knot strength can be measured by the method of JIS L1013 8.6. The degree of the knot strength suitable for the present invention is preferably 0.5 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.5 cN/dtex or more, and most preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more. Further, as another index, the bending rigidity is preferably smaller. The bending rigidity is generally measured by a measuring device such as a KES-FB2 pure bending tester manufactured by KATO TECH Co., Ltd. As a degree of bending rigidity suitable for the present invention, a carbon fiber "TENAX" (registered trademark) HTS40-3K manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. is preferable. Specifically, the bending rigidity of the conductive fiber is 0.05×10. -4 N・m 2 /m below is better, to 0.02×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is preferred, to 0.01×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is better. (Piezoelectric fiber) The piezoelectric polymer, which is a material of the piezoelectric fiber A, may be a piezoelectric polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride or polylactic acid. In the above-described form, the piezoelectric fiber A preferably contains a crystalline polymer having a high absolute value of the piezoelectric constant d14 when the alignment axis is three axes, and particularly preferably polylactic acid as a main component. In the melt spinning, for example, the melt spinning is easy to align by stretching, and the piezoelectricity is exhibited, and the electric field alignment treatment necessary for polyvinylidene fluoride or the like is not required, and the productivity is excellent. However, this is not intended to exclude the use of piezoelectric materials other than polyvinylidene fluoride when the present invention is practiced. As the polylactic acid, a poly-L-lactic acid obtained by polymerizing L-lactic acid or L-lactide may be used to polymerize D-lactic acid and D-lactide. The poly-D-lactic acid has a stereocomplex polylactic acid or the like formed by the above-described mixed structure, but it can be used if it is a piezoelectric property. From the viewpoint of high piezoelectricity, poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid are preferred. Since poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid have opposite polarizations for the same stress, they can be used in combination according to the purpose. The optical purity of the polylactic acid is preferably 99% or more, more preferably 99.3% or more, and still more preferably 99.5% or more. When the optical purity is less than 99%, the piezoelectricity is remarkably lowered, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient electric signal by the shape change of the piezoelectric fiber A. In particular, the piezoelectric fiber A contains poly-L-lactic acid or poly-D-lactic acid as a main component, and these optical purity is preferably 99% or more. The piezoelectric fiber A containing polylactic acid as a main component extends at the time of production and is uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is not only uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction, but preferably contains fibers of polylactic acid crystals, and more preferably fibers containing uniaxially oriented polylactic acid crystals. Since polylactic acid has high crystallinity and uniaxial alignment, it indicates large piezoelectricity, and the absolute value of d14 becomes high. [0126] Crystallinity and uniaxial alignment are achieved by uniform PLA crystallization degree X Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) were determined. As the piezoelectric fiber A of the present invention, the degree of crystallization of the PLA is X. Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) satisfy the following formula (1). In the case where the above formula (1) is not satisfied, crystallinity and/or uniaxial alignment are insufficient, and the output value of the electric signal to the operation is lowered, or the sensitivity of the signal to the action in a specific direction is lowered. The value on the left side of the above formula (1) is preferably 0.28 or more, more preferably 0.3 or more. Here, each value is obtained as follows. [0127] The degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo : For the degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo It is obtained by analyzing the crystal structure due to wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD). In the wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), an ultrax18 type X-ray diffraction apparatus manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd. was used, and the X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was recorded on the image plate by the penetration method using the following conditions. X-ray source: Cu-Kα ray (confocal lens) Output: 45kV × 60mA Slot: 1st: 1mmΦ, 2nd: 0.8mmΦ Photography length: 120mm Accumulated time: 10 minutes Sample: 35mg of polylactic acid fiber and yarn into 3cm Fiber bundles. In the obtained X-ray diffraction pattern, the total scattering intensity Itotal is obtained at the azimuth angle, and the diffraction peaks from the homopolylactic acid crystal appearing in the vicinity of 2θ=16.5°, 18.5°, and 24.3° are obtained here. The sum of the integrated intensities ΣIHMi. From these values, the degree of crystallization of the per-lactic acid is determined according to the following formula (2). Homo . Homopolymeric crystallization degree X Homo (%)=ΣI HMi /I Total ×100 (2) In addition, ΣI HMi It is calculated by subtracting the background or amorphous diffuse scattering from the total scattering intensity. (2) Crystal orientation degree Ao: For the crystal orientation degree Ao, in the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by the above-described wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), 2θ=16.5 appears in the direction of the moving diameter. The diffraction peak from the homopolylactic acid crystal near °, taking the intensity distribution with respect to the azimuth angle (°), and the total value of the half-value width from the obtained distribution curveΣ Wi (°) is calculated by the following formula (3). Crystalline orientation Ao (%) = (360-ΣW i ÷360×100 (3) [0129] In addition, since polylactic acid is a polyester which is rapidly decomposed by water, it is possible to add a known isocyanate compound, oxazoline compound or ring even when there is a problem in heat and humidity resistance. A hydrolyzing agent such as an oxygen compound or a carbodiimide compound may also be used. In addition, it is also possible to improve the physical properties by adding an oxidation preventing agent such as a phosphate compound, a plasticizer, a photodegradation preventing agent, or the like, as needed. [0130] The piezoelectric fiber A may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is 1 μm to 5 mm, preferably 5 μm to 2 mm, more preferably 10 μm to 1 mm. In the case of a multifilament, the monofilament diameter is from 0.1 μm to 5 mm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm, more preferably from 3 μm to 50 μm. The number of filaments of the multifilament is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 50 to 50,000, and more preferably from 100 to 20,000. However, the fineness or the number of strips of the piezoelectric fiber A is determined by the fineness and the number of the strips of each carrier at the time of knitting, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as A piece of piezoelectric wire fiber A. Here, in the case where fibers other than the piezoelectric fibers are used in one carrier, the total amount is included. In order to obtain such a piezoelectric polymer as the piezoelectric fiber A, any one of known methods for forming a fiber from a polymer can be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, a method of performing fibrillation by extrusion molding a piezoelectric polymer, a method of fibrillating a piezoelectric polymer by melt spinning, and a piezoelectricity by dry or wet spinning can be employed. A method in which a molecule is fibrillated, a method in which a piezoelectric polymer is fibrillated by electrospinning, a method of cutting a film after forming a film, and the like. These spinning conditions may be applied to a piezoelectric polymer to be used in accordance with a known method, and a melt spinning method which is industrially easy to produce may be used. Also, after the fibers are formed, the formed fibers are extended. Accordingly, the uniaxially elongated alignment is formed and the piezoelectric piezoelectric fiber A exhibiting large piezoelectricity is contained. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is subjected to a treatment such as dyeing, crepe, bonding, heat treatment, or the like before the fiber produced as described above is knitted. Further, since the piezoelectric fibers A have frictional breakage or breakage when the fibers are formed, it is preferable that the fibers and the abrasion resistance are relatively high, and the strength is 1.5 cN/dtex. The above is preferable, preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 2.5 cN/dtex or more, and 3.0 cN/dtex or more. The abrasion resistance can be evaluated by the JIS L1095 9.10.2 B method or the like, and the number of rubbing times is preferably 100 or more, preferably 1,000 or more, more preferably 5,000 or more, and most preferably 10,000 or more. The method for improving the abrasion resistance is not particularly limited, and all known methods can be used, for example, the degree of crystallization can be increased, or fine particles can be added, or surface processing can be performed. Further, when processing into a braid, it is also possible to apply a lubricant to the fibers to reduce friction. Further, the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber and the shrinkage ratio of the conductive fiber is preferably small. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing is performed or after the fabric is produced, or when the heat is applied, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal becomes weak. The situation. When the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio described later, the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(p) of the piezoelectric fiber and the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(c) of the conductive fiber are preferably in the following formula (4). The left side of the above formula (4) is preferably 5 or less, and more preferably 3 or less. Further, it is preferable that the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is smaller than the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the fiber other than the conductive fiber, for example, the insulating fiber. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing or after the fabric is produced, or the film is bent, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal is weakened. Happening.

For example, when the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio, the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is preferably 15% or less, preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and most preferably 3% or less. good. As a means for reducing the shrinkage ratio, various methods can be applied. For example, the degree of alignment relaxation or crystallization of the amorphous portion is improved by heat treatment, whereby the shrinkage ratio can be lowered, and the timing of performing the heat treatment is not particularly limited, and extension is exemplified. After the crepe, after the weaving, after the cloth, and so on. Further, the boiling water shrinkage rate was measured by the following method. A skein having a number of rolls of 20 times was produced by a cloth inspection machine of 1.125 m around the outer frame, and a load of 0.022 cN/dtex was applied, and the initial skein length L0 was measured by hanging on a scale plate. Thereafter, the skein was treated in a boiling water bath at 100 ° C for 30 minutes, left to cool, and the above load was applied again, and suspended on a scale plate, and the length L of the skein after shrinkage was measured. The boiling water shrinkage ratio was calculated by the following formula (6) using the measured L0 and L.

The thickness of the sheath portion 202 covering the conductive fibers B is preferably 1 μm to 10 mm, more preferably 5 μm to 5 mm, still more preferably 10 μm to 3 mm, and most preferably 20 μm to 1 mm. When it is too thin, there is a problem that there is a problem at the point of strength. Further, when it is too thick, the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. In addition, the sheath portion 202 as used herein refers to a layer adjacent to the core portion 203. In the braided piezoelectric element 201, the total fineness of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 202 is preferably 1/2 or more and 20 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B of the core portion 203. It is preferably 1 time or more and 15 times or less, more preferably 2 times or more and 10 times or less. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A to the total fineness of the conductive fiber B is too small, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is too small, the conductive fiber B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the conductive fiber B is present. Contact with other conductive fibers that are close to each other. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A and the total fineness of the conductive fiber B are excessively large, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is excessively large, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes hard to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 201 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. The total fineness referred to herein is the sum of the fineness of the piezoelectric fibers A constituting the sheath portion 202. For example, in the case of generally 8-strand weaving, the total densities of the eight fibers are obtained. Further, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 202 is preferably 1/20 or more and 2 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B. It is preferably 1/15 times or more and 1.5 times or less, more preferably 1/10 times or more and 1 time or less. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is too small with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are too small, the conductive fibers B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the piezoelectric fibers A are cut off. Hey. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is excessively large with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are excessively thick, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 201 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. In the case where the conductive fiber B is a metal fiber or the metal fiber is blended in the conductive fiber B or the piezoelectric fiber A, the ratio of the fineness is not limited to the above. In the present invention, the above ratio is important in terms of contact area or coverage ratio, that is, from the viewpoint of area and volume. For example, in the case where the specific gravity of each fiber exceeds 2, the ratio of the average cross-sectional area of the fibers is preferably the ratio of the above-mentioned fineness. Although the piezoelectric fiber A and the conductive fiber B are preferably as close as possible to each other, in order to improve the adhesion, an anchor layer or a bonding layer may be provided between the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A. . The method of coating is a method in which the conductive fiber B is used as a core yarn, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound around the braided shape. Further, the braided shape of the piezoelectric fiber A is not limited as long as it can output an electric signal to the stress generated by the applied load, and it is preferable to have the 8-strand braid or the 16-knit braid having the core portion 203. The shape of the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A is not particularly limited, and it is preferably as close as possible to a concentric shape. In the case where a multifilament is used as the conductive fiber B, the piezoelectric fiber A may be coated with at least a part of the surface (fiber peripheral surface) of the multifilament of the conductive fiber B, even if It is also possible to coat the surface of the fibrils (fiber peripheral surface) constituting the multifilaments with the piezoelectric fibers A, even if they are not coated. The state in which the piezoelectric fibers A are coated in the respective filaments of the multifilaments of the conductive fibers B may be appropriately set in consideration of performance, workability, and the like of the piezoelectric element. (Electrically Conductive Layer) The conductive layer 204 has a function as an electrode that serves as a counter electrode of the conductive fiber of the core portion 203, and the conductive fiber that shields the core portion 203 prevents external electromagnetic waves and suppresses conduction at the core portion 203. The function of the shielding of the noise signal generated by the fiber. Since the conductive layer 204 functions as a shield, it is preferably grounded (connected to the ground or the ground of the electronic circuit). According to this, the S/N ratio (signal-to-noise ratio) of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be remarkably improved even if the conductive cloth for electromagnetic wave shielding is not overlapped above the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207. As the conductive layer 204, even in the case of coating, even if the film, the cloth, or the fiber is wound, it may be combined. [0145] The coating of the conductive layer 204 may be carried out by using a material containing a substance indicating conductivity, and a known owner is used. For example, a metal, a conductive polymer, and a polymer in which a conductive filler is dispersed may be mentioned. [0146] When the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding a film, a film obtained by using a conductive polymer or a film-forming polymer to disperse a conductive filler is used, and further, conductive is provided on the surface. Thin film can also be used. When the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding of a fabric, a fabric in which a conductive fiber 206 to be described later is used as a constituent component is used. [0148] When the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding a fiber, a cover, a knitted fabric, or a woven fabric can be considered as a means. Further, the fibers to be used are the conductive fibers 206, and the conductive fibers 206 may be of the same type as the conductive fibers B, and may be different types of conductive fibers. Examples of the conductive fiber 206 include a fiber composed of a metal fiber, a fiber composed of a conductive polymer, a carbon fiber, a polymer in which a fibrous or granular conductive filler is dispersed, or a fibrous material. A fiber having a conductive layer is provided on the surface. Examples of the method of providing a conductive layer on the surface of the fibrous material include metal coating, conductive polymer coating, and winding of conductive fibers. Among them, metal coating is preferred from the viewpoints of conductivity, durability, flexibility, and the like. The specific method of coating the metal is, for example, vapor deposition, sputtering, electrolytic plating, electroless plating, etc., but plating is preferred from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. The metal thus plated may be referred to as a metal plated fiber. [0149] As the fiber of the substrate to which the metal is applied, well-known fibers can be used regardless of the presence or absence of conductivity, for example, in addition to polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, vinyl chloride fibers, aromatic poly In addition to synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyfluorene fibers, polyether fibers, and polyurethane fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, and acetate, and hydrazine may be used. Regenerated fiber such as copper amine fiber. The fibers of the substrate are not limited thereto, and any known fibers may be used arbitrarily, and these fibers may be used in combination. The metal of the fiber applied to the substrate represents electrical conductivity, and any one may be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, lead, palladium, indium tin oxide, copper sulfide, or the like, and mixtures or alloys thereof may be used. When the conductive fiber 206 is coated with a metal coated organic fiber having bending resistance, the conductive fiber is rarely broken, and the durability and safety of the sensor using the piezoelectric element are excellent. The conductive fibers 206 may be a multifilament bundled with a plurality of filaments or a monofilament composed of one filament. Multifilament is preferred from the viewpoint of the stability of the electrical properties. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is from 1 μm to 5000 μm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm. It is preferably 3 μm to 50 μm. In the case of multifilaments, as the number of filaments, it is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 5 to 500, more preferably from 10 to 100. When the diameter of the fiber is small, the strength is lowered and it becomes difficult to handle, and further, in the case where the diameter is large, flexibility is sacrificed. The cross-sectional shape of the conductive fiber 206 is preferably a circle or an ellipse from the viewpoint of design and manufacture of the piezoelectric element, but is not limited thereto. [0154] Furthermore, in order to improve the effect of suppressing the noise signal, it is preferable that the resistance is low, and the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, when the suppression effect of the noise signal is obtained, the specific resistance is not limited to this. [0155] The conductive fibers 206 must have resistance to repeated bending or twisting operations in view of the use of the present invention. As its index, the nodule strength is preferably larger. The knot strength can be measured by the method of JIS L1013 8.6. The degree of the knot strength suitable for the present invention is preferably 0.5 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.5 cN/dtex or more, and most preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more. Further, as another index, the bending rigidity is preferably smaller. The bending rigidity is generally measured by a measuring device such as a KES-FB2 pure bending tester manufactured by KATO TECH Co., Ltd. As a degree of bending rigidity suitable for the present invention, a carbon fiber "TENAX" (registered trademark) HTS40-3K manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. is preferable. Specifically, the bending rigidity of the conductive fiber is 0.05×10. -4 N・m 2 /m below is better, to 0.02×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is preferred, to 0.01×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is better. Further, it can be considered as a capacitor-shaped piezoelectric element in which a conductor of a core portion and a conductor of an electromagnetic wave shielding layer are used as electrodes of two poles and a piezoelectric polymer (dielectric body) is sandwiched. In order to effectively extract the polarization generated in the piezoelectric structure by deformation, the value of the insulation resistance between the electrodes is preferably 1 MΩ or more and 10 MΩ or more when measured by a DC voltage of 3 V. Good, more than 100MΩ is better. Further, even if the value of the equivalent series resistance Rs and the equivalent series capacitance Cs obtained by the response when the AC voltage of 1 MHz is supplied between the electrodes is analyzed, the value is effectively taken out by the deformation. In the polarization of the piezoelectric structure, the responsiveness is improved, so that it is preferably within a specific value range. That is, the value of Rs is preferably 1 μΩ or more and 100 kΩ or less, preferably 1 mΩ or more and 10 kΩ or less, more preferably 1 mΩ or more and 1 kΩ or less, and the value of Cs is divided by the length of the central axis direction of the piezoelectric structure ( The value of cm) is preferably 0.1 pF or more and 1000 pF or less, more preferably 0.2 pF or more and 100 pF or less, and more preferably 0.4 pF or more and 10 pF or less. [0157] As described above, when the piezoelectric fiber A and the element composed of the electrode are in a good state, the response is obtained by analyzing the response when an alternating current voltage of 1 MHz is supplied between the electrodes. The value of the series resistance Rs and the equivalent series capacitance Cs are obtained within a specific range, and it is preferable to use the values for the inspection of the braided piezoelectric element. Furthermore, not only the values of Rs and Cs obtained by the analysis of the AC voltage but also the transient response of the other voltages can be analyzed, and the braided piezoelectric element can be inspected. (Protective Layer) A protective layer may be provided on the outermost surface of the braided piezoelectric element 201 of the present invention. The protective layer is preferably insulating, and is preferably composed of a polymer from the viewpoint of flexibility. In the case where the protective layer is insulative, of course, in this case, the protective layer may be deformed together or rubbed on the protective layer, but if the external force reaches the piezoelectric fiber A, it may be induced. When it is polarized, it is not particularly limited. The protective layer is not limited to those formed by coating of a polymer or the like, and may be a wound film, a cloth, a fiber, or the like, or may be combined. [0159] As the thickness of the protective layer, the shear stress is more easily transmitted to the piezoelectric fiber A at a thinner thickness, but when it is too thin, the protective layer itself is easily broken, and the like. 10 nm to 200 μm is preferred, preferably 50 nm to 50 μm, more preferably 70 nm to 30 μm, and most preferably 100 nm to 10 μm. The shape of the piezoelectric element can also be formed by the protective layer. Further, a layer in which a plurality of layers are composed of piezoelectric fibers or a layer in which a plurality of layers are formed by conductive fibers for taking out signals may be provided. Needless to say, the order of the protective layer, the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers, and the layer composed of the conductive fibers is appropriately determined depending on the purpose. Further, as a method of winding, a method of forming a woven structure or covering the outer layer of the sheath portion 202 may be mentioned. The braided piezoelectric element 201 of the present invention measures the conductivity of the core of the braided piezoelectric element 201 in addition to the deformation or stress that can be detected by the output of the electrical signal caused by the piezoelectric effect described above. The change in electrostatic capacitance between the fiber B and the conductive layer 204 can also detect the deformation caused by the pressure applied to the braided piezoelectric element 201. Further, in the case where a plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are used in combination, by measuring the change in electrostatic capacitance between the conductive layers 204 of the respective braided piezoelectric elements 201, it is also possible to detect application to the braided piezoelectric element 201. The deformation caused by the pressure. (Insulating Fiber) In the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, an insulating fiber can be used in a portion other than the braided piezoelectric element 201 (and the conductive fiber 210). In this case, the insulating fiber is used for the purpose of improving the flexibility of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, and a fiber having a stretchable material or shape can be used. In this way, by arranging the insulating fibers in addition to the braided piezoelectric element 201 (and the conductive fibers 210), the operability of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be improved (illustration: as a wearable sensor) Activity is easy). [0164] As such an insulating fiber, if the volume resistivity is 10 6 It can be used when Ω・cm or more, to 10 8 Ω·cm or more is preferred, with 10 10 Ω·cm or more is more preferable. [0165] As the insulating fiber, for example, in addition to polyester fiber, nylon fiber, acrylic fiber, polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, vinyl chloride fiber, aromatic polyamide fiber, polyfluorene fiber, polyether fiber, polyamine group In addition to synthetic fibers such as formate fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, and regenerated fibers such as hydrazine or copper amine can be used. It is not limited to these, and the well-known insulating fiber can be used arbitrarily. In addition, even if these insulating fibers are used in combination, they may be used in combination with fibers having no insulating properties, and may be fibers having overall insulating properties. Further, it is also possible to use fibers of all known cross-sectional shapes. (Manufacturing Method) The knitted piezoelectric element 201 of the present invention covers the surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B by the braided piezoelectric fiber A. However, as a method for producing the same, for example, the following method can be mentioned. In other words, the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A are separately produced, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound into a braided shape to coat the conductive fiber B. In this case, it is preferable to cover as close as possible to a concentric shape. In this case, the spinning and stretching conditions in which the piezoelectric polymer A forming the piezoelectric fiber A is preferably used in the case of using polylactic acid have a melt spinning temperature of 150 ° C to 250 ° C. Preferably, the extension temperature is preferably from 40 ° C to 150 ° C, the stretching ratio is preferably from 1.1 to 5.0, and the crystallization temperature is preferably from 80 ° C to 170 ° C. [0168] As the piezoelectric fiber A wound around the conductive fiber B, a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments may be used, and even a monofilament (including a textile yarn) may be used. In addition, as the conductive fiber B wound around the piezoelectric fiber A, even if a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments is used, a single filament (including a textile yarn) may be used. [0169] As a preferred embodiment of the coating, the piezoelectric fiber A can be knitted into a braided shape by using the conductive fiber B as a core yarn, and a tubular braid (Tubular Braid) can be produced to be coated. More specifically, an 8-strand woven or a 16-knit woven fabric having a core portion 203 can be cited. However, for example, even if the piezoelectric fiber A is in the form of a braided tube, the conductive fiber B is regarded as a core portion, and the braided tube may be inserted and coated. [0170] Although the conductive layer 204 is produced by coating or winding of fibers, it is preferable to use a fiber to be wound from the viewpoint of easy production. As the winding method of the fiber, a cover, a knitted fabric, and a woven fabric can be considered, and it can be manufactured by any method. According to the above-described manufacturing method, the braided piezoelectric element 201 in which the surface of the conductive fiber B is coated with the woven piezoelectric fiber A and the conductive layer 204 is provided around the woven piezoelectric fiber A can be obtained. Here, in the braided piezoelectric element of the present invention, the relationship between the diameter of the core portion and the thickness of the layer (sheath portion) composed of the piezoelectric fibers is very important. The piezoelectric element of the present invention is used as it is in the form of a fiber. Although it is woven into a cloth shape as it is, there is a case where the core signal line and the shield layer (conductive layer) are short-circuited during use and processing. As a result of intensive studies by the inventors, the radius Rc of the core and the thickness d of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers must have a relationship of d/Rc ≧ 1.0. When the braided piezoelectric element is bent by the curvature R, when the center of the element is bent as a reference line, the deformation rate of the surface of the core becomes (R+Rc)/R. For example, in the case where the radius of curvature R = 2 mm, when Rc = 0.2 mm, the deformation ratio is 1.1, the elongation is 10% on the outer side of the bending, and the relaxation is 10% on the inner side of the bending. At this time, the woven hole pattern of the layer formed of the woven piezoelectric fiber is disordered, and the layer forming the shield layer and the signal line of the core are short-circuited. Here, even if the deformation causes the layer of the piezoelectric fiber to be disordered, the shield layer and the signal line of the core are not short-circuited, and the relationship between the thickness of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fiber and the core needs to be satisfied. The following conditions. It is preferable that the deformation of the surface of the core portion of the braided piezoelectric element is suppressed to 20%, and therefore, the radius of curvature of the utility is clearly determined by the thickness of the core portion. Further, in other words, in this case, the thickness of the layer made of piezoelectric fibers which does not cause a short circuit is determined almost in an almost unambiguous manner. That is, Rc>R/20 is preferred, and Rc>R/10 is preferred. Further, d/Rc is preferably 1.0 or more, more preferably 1.2 or more, and still more preferably 1.5 or more. Further, the layer formed of the piezoelectric fibers may be laminated with a plurality of piezoelectric fibers. Even if the plurality of layers are laminated to have the same thickness, the number of times of lamination is difficult to be short-circuited. When the number of times of lamination is n, d/Rc × n is preferably 0.8 or more, more preferably 1.0 or more, and 1.2 or more. For better. Further, at the point of short-circuiting, the thickness of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers is preferably as large as possible, but from the viewpoint of the braided piezoelectric element, the finer the workability, the thinner the shield layer is. It is better. Here, the radius Rc of the core portion of the braided piezoelectric element and the thickness d of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fiber are calculated from the microscopic image of the cross section shown in FIG. 11 as follows. In addition, even if the low-viscosity instant bonding agent "Aron Alpha EXTRA2000" (East Asian Synthetic) is dyed into a braided piezoelectric element and cured, a cross section perpendicular to the long axis of the weaving is cut and the photographing section is taken. Photos are also available. The radius Rc of the core is an average value of the radius of the largest circle X formed by the fiber bundle of the core and the radius of the smallest circle Y completely including the fiber bundle, as shown in Fig. 11-1. As shown in Fig. 11-2, the thickness d of the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers is a radius from the largest circle X' composed only of the fiber bundle of the piezoelectric fiber including the core portion. And the average of the radii of the smallest circle Y' completely containing the fiber bundle, minus the value of the radius Rc of the core. (Corrugated Piezoelectric Element) FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a cloth-like piezoelectric element using a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is provided with a fabric 208 including at least one braided piezoelectric element 201. At least one of the fibers (including knitting) constituting the fabric of the fabric 208 is a braided piezoelectric element 201, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 is not limited as long as it functions as a piezoelectric element, and even any braid can be used. . In the case of forming a cloth, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, it is possible to perform interlacing, interlacing, and the like in combination with other fibers (including knitting). Of course, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is used as one of the fibers constituting the fabric (for example, warp or weft), even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is embroidered on the fabric, it may be joined. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is a flat fabric in which at least one of the braided piezoelectric element 201 and the insulating fiber 209 is disposed as a warp yarn, and the conductive fiber 210 and the insulating fiber 209 are alternately arranged as a weft. The conductive fibers 210 may be the same type as the conductive fibers B, and may be different types of conductive fibers, and the insulating fibers 209 will be described later. Further, all or a part of the insulating fibers 209 and/or the conductive fibers 210 may be in a woven form. In this case, when the braided piezoelectric element 207 is deformed by bending or the like, the braided piezoelectric element 201 is also deformed with the deformation, and is output from the braided piezoelectric element 201. The electrical signal can detect the deformation of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207. Further, since the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be used as a fabric (woven fabric), it can be applied to, for example, a garment-type wearable sensor. Further, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 shown in FIG. 12, the conductive fibers 210 are in contact with the braided piezoelectric element 201. Therefore, the conductive fiber 210 is in contact with at least a part of the braided piezoelectric element 201, and covered, and at least a part of the electromagnetic wave to be applied to the braided piezoelectric element 201 can be shielded from the outside. Such a conductive fiber 210 has a function of reducing the influence of electromagnetic waves on the braided piezoelectric element 201 by being grounded. That is, the conductive fiber 210 can function as an electromagnetic wave shield of the braided piezoelectric element 201. According to this, even if the conductive fabric for electromagnetic wave shielding is not overlapped above and below the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the S/N ratio of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be remarkably improved. In this case, from the viewpoint of electromagnetic wave shielding, the higher the ratio of the conductive fibers 210 of the weft yarn (in the case of FIG. 12) crossing the braided piezoelectric element 201, the better. Specifically, it is preferable that 30% or more of the fibers which form the fabric of the fabric 208 and which intersect the braided piezoelectric element 201 are conductive fibers, preferably 40% or more, more preferably 50% or more. In this manner, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, by placing the conductive fibers as at least a part of the fibers constituting the fabric, the piezoelectric element 207 having the electromagnetic wave shield can be formed. [0179] The woven structure of the woven fabric may be exemplified by a three-dimensional structure such as plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave, a single-double structure such as a double weave, a double weave, and the like. Even if it is a warp knitted fabric (weft weaving), it can be used as a warp. As the organization of the circular knitting fabric (weft knitting), it is preferable to exemplify a flat knitting, a rib knitting, a double sided knitting, a reverse stitch knitting, a hanging needle knitting, a floating thread knitting, a half-side knitting, a yarn knitting, and a wool knitting. As a warp knitting organization, a single-sided warp-knit flat weave, a single-sided warp-knitted satin stitch, a double-sided warp-knitted quilt, a velvet-warp woven, a velvet knitting, a jacquard knitting, and the like can be exemplified. The number of layers may be a single layer or a multilayer of two or more layers. Further, it is also possible to form a woven fabric or a woven fabric composed of a bristles and a base tissue portion which are formed by woven wool and/or loops. (Plastic Piezoelectric Element) Further, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, a plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 can be arranged and used. As the arrangement, for example, as the warp yarn or the weft yarn, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is used in all, the braided piezoelectric element 201 may be used for every few or a part. Further, even if a certain portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 201 as a warp yarn, and the other portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 201 as a weft yarn. In this manner, when the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are arranged to form the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, since the braided piezoelectric element 201 does not have an electrode on the surface, it is possible to select it in a wide range. The advantages of arrangement and weaving. Further, when the plurality of woven piezoelectric elements 201 are arranged, since the distance between the conductive fibers B is short, efficiency is obtained in the extraction of the electric signals. (Applicable Techniques of Piezoelectric Element) The piezoelectric element such as the braided piezoelectric element 201 or the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 of the present invention can output contact, pressure, and surface contact with each other even in any aspect. The shape change is used as a signal, and can be utilized as a sensor (device) that detects the magnitude of the stress applied to its piezoelectric element and/or the position to be applied. Further, the electric signal may be used as a power source for powering another device or a power generating element such as power storage. Specifically, it is used for power generation by a movable part of a spontaneous exerciser such as a human, an animal, a robot, or a machine, and the power generation due to the surface of the sole, the dressing, and the structure of the external pressure is caused by the fluid. The shape changes in the power generation. Furthermore, since the electrical signal is emitted by the shape change in the fluid, it is also possible to adsorb or suppress the adhesion of the charged substance in the fluid. 6 is a block diagram showing a device 111 including the piezoelectric element 112 of the present invention. The device 111 includes a piezoelectric element 112 (exemplified by a braided piezoelectric element 201 and a cloth-like piezoelectric element 207), and an amplification means for arbitrarily selecting and amplifying an electric signal output from the piezoelectric element 112 in response to the applied pressure. 113, and an output means 114 for outputting the electric signal amplified by the arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, and a circuit for transmitting the electric signal outputted from the output means 114 to the transmission means 115 of an external device (not shown). When the device 111 is used, the electrical signal outputted according to the contact, pressure, and shape change of the surface of the piezoelectric element 112 can be detected and applied to the piezoelectric element by an external device (not shown). The magnitude of the stress and/or the location to be applied. The arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be constructed, for example, in the form of a software program, or may be constructed by a combination of various electronic circuits and software programs. For example, the software program is installed in an arithmetic processing unit (not shown), and the arithmetic processing unit operates in accordance with the software program, thereby realizing the functions of the respective units. Furthermore, the arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be realized as a semiconductor integrated circuit for writing a software program for realizing the functions of the respective units. Further, the transmission method by the transmission means 115 may be determined by wireless or wired, and may be appropriately determined in accordance with the sensor configured. Alternatively, even in the device 111, an arithmetic means (not shown) for calculating the magnitude of the stress applied to the piezoelectric element 112 and/or the applied position based on the electrical signal output from the output means 114 may be provided. . Further, not only the amplifying means but also a well-known signal processing means such as a means for removing noise or a means for performing processing in combination with other signals may be used. The order of connection of these means can be appropriately changed depending on the purpose. Of course, even if the electrical signal output from the piezoelectric element 112 is transmitted to the external device as it is, the signal processing can be performed. [Fig. 13] Fig. 13 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of an apparatus including a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The amplifying means 113 of Fig. 13 corresponds to the description with reference to Fig. 6, and the output means 114 and the transmitting means 115 of Fig. 6 are not shown in Fig. 13. In the case of constituting the device including the braided piezoelectric element 201, the input terminal of the amplifying means 113 is connected to the drawing line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201, and the earth terminal is connected to the braided piezoelectric element. Conductive layer 204 of element 201. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, a pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is connected to an input terminal of the amplification means 113 to make a braided piezoelectric element. The conductivity 204 of the element 201 is earthed. 14 to 16 are schematic views showing a configuration example of an apparatus including a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The amplification means 113 of Figs. 14 to 16 corresponds to the description with reference to Fig. 6, and the output means 114 and the transmission means 115 of Fig. 6 are not shown in Figs. In the case of constituting the device having the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the input terminal of the amplification means 113 is connected to the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 (formed by the conductive fiber B), and is grounded. (earth) a braided piezoelectric element different from the braided piezoelectric element 201 connected to the conductive layer 204 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 or the conductive fiber 210 of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 or the input terminal of the amplification means 113 . For example, as shown in FIG. 14, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, a pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is connected to an input terminal of the amplification means 113 to make a braided piezoelectric element. Conductive layer 204 of element 201 is earthed. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is connected to the input terminal of the amplification means 113, and the knitting is performed. The conductive fibers 210 that are in contact with each other are in contact with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, when the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are arranged in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of one knitted piezoelectric element 201 is connected to The input terminal of the amplification means 113 grounds the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the other braided piezoelectric element 201 arranged in the braided piezoelectric element 201. [0189] When the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, the piezoelectric fiber A is deformed to generate polarization. The influence of the arrangement of the positive and negative charges generated by the polarization of the piezoelectric fiber A causes the movement of electric charges on the drawing line from the conductive fiber B forming the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201. On the pull-out line from the conductive fiber B, a slight electrical signal (i.e., current) flows in the movement of the electric charge. The amplifying means 113 amplifies the electric signal, the output means 114 outputs the electric signal amplified by the amplifying means 113, and the transmitting means 115 transmits the electric signal outputted from the output means 114 to an external device (not shown). [0190] The device 111 of the present invention has flexibility, and can be used in any of a braided shape and a cloth-like shape, so that it can be imagined in a very wide range of applications. Specific examples of the device 111 of the present invention include a touch panel that is shaped like a hat, a glove, a sock, and the like, which is a garment, a support, a handkerchief, and the like, and is used as a surface pressure sensor for humans or animals. For example, a sensor that bends, twists, and expands and contracts the joint portion in the shape of a glove, a belt, a support, or the like is detected. For example, when it is used in a person, it is possible to use an information collection for an action such as a joint for medical use, an entertainment use, or an interface for moving a lost tissue or a robot. Further, a surface pressure sensor which is a cloth doll or a robot that mimics an animal or a human type, and a sensor that detects bending, twisting, and expansion of the joint portion can be used. Further, a surface pressure sensor or a shape change sensor which is used as a bedding, a sole, a glove, a chair, a dressing, a bag, a flag, or the like as a bed sheet or a pillow, etc. [0191] Further, the device 111 of the present invention It is woven or cloth-like and has flexibility. Therefore, it can be used as a surface pressure sensor or shape change sensor by attaching or covering the surface of all or part of all structures. Moreover, since the device 111 of the present invention can generate a sufficient electrical signal only by rubbing the surface of the piezoelectric element 201, it can be used for a touch sensor-like touch input device or pointing device. Further, since the surface of the object to be measured is wiped by the braided piezoelectric element 201, position information or shape information in the height direction of the object to be measured can be obtained, and thus it can be used for surface shape measurement or the like. [0193] Hereinafter, the third invention will be described in detail. (Wolen piezoelectric element) In the braided piezoelectric element according to the third aspect of the invention, the piezoelectric polymer in the structure according to the first aspect of the invention can be arranged in a cylindrical shape. An element having a conductor made of a conductive fiber is disposed at a position of the central axis, that is, an element in which a piezoelectric polymer is woven into a braided shape as a piezoelectric fiber and disposed around the conductive fiber. Hereinafter, the braided piezoelectric element according to the third invention will be described in detail. 10 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The braided piezoelectric element 201 includes a core portion 203 formed of a conductive fiber B, and a sheath portion 202 formed of a piezoelectric fiber A having a braided shape so as to cover the core portion 203, and a conductive portion of the sheath portion 202. Layer 204. The conductive layer 204 also functions as an electrode that serves as a counter electrode of the conductive fiber of the core portion 203, and the conductive fiber that shields the core portion 203 prevents electromagnetic waves from the outside, and suppresses the noise signal generated by the conductive fiber in the core portion 203. The function of the shield. [0195] The coverage of the sheath portion 202 by the conductive layer 204 is preferably 25% or more. Here, the coverage ratio is a ratio of the area of the conductive material 205 contained in the conductive layer 204 when the conductive layer 204 is projected to the sheath portion 202 and the surface area of the sheath portion 202, and the value is preferably 25% or more. More than 50% is preferred, and more preferably 75% or more. When the coverage of the conductive layer 204 is less than 25%, the effect of suppressing the noise signal may not be sufficiently exhibited. When the conductive material 205 is not exposed to the surface of the conductive layer 204, for example, when the fiber containing the conductive material 205 is used as the conductive layer 204 to coat the sheath portion 202, the sheath portion 202 toward the fiber may be applied. The ratio of the area at the time of projection to the surface area of the sheath portion 202 is set as the coverage ratio. [0196] The conductive material 205 is a conductive material contained in the conductive layer 204, and corresponds to a well-known owner. In the braided piezoelectric element 201, a plurality of piezoelectric fibers A are densely wound around the outer peripheral surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B. When the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, stress is generated by deformation of each of the plurality of piezoelectric fibers A, and accordingly, an electric field (piezoelectric effect) is generated in each of the piezoelectric fibers A, and as a result, The conductive fiber B generates a voltage change that overlaps with the electric field of the plurality of piezoelectric fibers A wound around the conductive fiber B. That is, the electric signal from the conductive fiber B is increased as compared with the case where the braided sheath portion 202 of the piezoelectric fiber A is not used. Accordingly, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, a large electric signal can be taken out even by a stress generated by a relatively small deformation. Further, the conductive fibers B may be plural pieces. The braided piezoelectric element 201 is not particularly limited as long as it has the configuration shown in FIG. 10, and is selectively outputted from the torsional deformation centered on the central axis. From the viewpoint of the electric signal, it is preferable to have the following configuration. (Wound piezoelectric element that selectively outputs a large electric signal to the torsional deformation) As the braided piezoelectric element 201 that selectively outputs a large electric signal to the torsional deformation centered on the central axis, In the piezoelectric fiber A, the uniaxially oriented polymer molded body may have an absolute value of a piezoelectric constant d14 when the alignment axis is set to three axes of 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC/N or less. A piezoelectric polymer having a crystalline polymer as a main component. In the present invention, "including ... as a main component" means 50% by mass or more of the constituent components. Furthermore, in the present invention, the crystalline polymer is composed of a crystal portion of 1% by mass or more and a polymer composed of an amorphous portion other than the crystal portion, and the mass of the crystalline polymer is a total of a crystal portion and an amorphous portion. the quality of. Further, although the value of d14 indicates different values depending on molding conditions, purity, and measurement environment, in the present invention, the degree of crystallinity and crystal orientation of the crystalline polymer in the piezoelectric polymer actually used are measured. The crystalline polymer is used to form a uniaxially stretched film having the same degree of crystallinity and crystal orientation, and the absolute value of the film d14 is 0.1 pC/N or more and 1000 pC/N or less in the actual use temperature. The crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer of the present embodiment is not limited to the specific crystalline polymer described below. The d14 of the film sample can be measured by various methods, but for example, a metal is vapor-deposited on both sides of the film sample to form a sample of the electrode, and is cut into a rectangle having four sides in a direction inclined by 45 degrees from the extending direction. The value of d14 can be measured by measuring the charge generated at the electrodes on both sides when a tensile load is applied in the longitudinal direction thereof. Further, in the braided piezoelectric element 201 in which the large electric signal is selectively outputted by the torsional deformation centered on the central axis, the direction of the central axis and the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer (alignment) The angle θ) is 0° or more and 40° or less or 50° or more and 90° or less. When the condition is satisfied, by applying the torsional deformation (torsional stress) centered on the central axis to the braided piezoelectric element 201, the pressure of the crystalline polymer contained in the piezoelectric polymer can be efficiently utilized. The piezoelectric effect corresponding to the electric constant d14 can effectively generate a reverse polarity charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the braided piezoelectric element 201. From such a viewpoint, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is preferably 0° or more and 35° or less, or preferably 55° or more and 90° or less, and 0° or more and 30° or less or 60°. The above 90° or less is preferable, and more preferably 0° or more and 25° or less or 65° or more and 90° or less, and more preferably 0° or more and less than 15° or more than 75° and more preferably 90° or less. When the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis exceeds 0° and is less than 90°, the spiral direction is drawn in the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer. Further, by disposing the piezoelectric polymer in this manner, it is possible to cause shear deformation similar to the surface of the friction-wound piezoelectric element 201, or bending deformation of the bending central axis, or stretching in the central axis direction. The deformation is such that a large electric charge is not generated on the central axis side and the outer side of the braided piezoelectric element 201, that is, the braided piezoelectric element 201 that selectively generates a large electric charge with respect to the torsion centered on the central axis. When the spiral is formed in the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer, the spiral direction (S捻 direction or Z捻 direction) does not affect the polarity of the charge generated by the torsional deformation. However, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0° or more and 40° or less, and when it is 50° or more and 90° or less, the polarity of the electric charge generated by the torsional deformation is reversed. Further, as in the case of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid, the piezoelectric polymer containing the crystalline polymer having different codes of d14 is also reversed with respect to the polarity of the electric charge generated by the torsional deformation. Therefore, in order to efficiently generate a reverse polarity charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the braided piezoelectric element 201 with respect to the torsional deformation, only the piezoelectric polymer having the same code as the d14 is used as the main component, and the piezoelectricity is high. The alignment angle θ of the molecule and the piezoelectric polymer with respect to the direction of the central axis of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is preferably only 0° or more and 40° or less, or 50° or more and 90° or less. The alignment angle θ is measured as much as possible by the method described below. The side view of the photographic braided piezoelectric element 201 (corresponding to the piezoelectric structure 1 in FIG. 3) was measured, and the helical pitch HP of the piezoelectric polymer 2 was measured. The spiral pitch HP is a linear distance from the surface of the piezoelectric polymer 2 to the central axis direction required for the surface to return to the surface as shown in FIG. Further, after the bonding structure is fixed by the bonding agent, the cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is cut to take a photograph, and the outer radius Ro and the inner radius Ri of the portion occupied by the sheath portion 202 are measured. In the case where the outer edge and the inner edge of the cross section are elliptical or flat, the average of the long diameter and the short diameter is set to Ro and Ri. The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer with respect to the central axis is calculated from the following formula. However, Rm=2 (Ro 3 -Ri 3 ) /3 (Ro 2 -Ri 2 That is, the radius of the braided piezoelectric element 201 which is weighted and averaged by the sectional area. In the photo of the side surface of the braided piezoelectric element 201, the piezoelectric polymer has a uniform surface, and when the helical pitch of the piezoelectric polymer cannot be determined, the bonding agent is cut by a plane passing through the central axis. The fixed braided piezoelectric element 201 is subjected to wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis in a direction perpendicular to the cut surface to penetrate X-rays through a narrow range of the central axis, and determines the alignment direction to determine the angle from the central axis. , set to θ. In the braided piezoelectric element 201 according to the present invention, the spiral drawn along the alignment direction of the piezoelectric polymer simultaneously has a spiral direction (S捻 or Z捻 direction) or a spiral pitch. In the case of two or more different spirals, the above-described measurement is performed for each of the spiral directions and the spiral piezoelectric polymer, and the piezoelectric polymer of either the spiral direction and the spiral pitch must satisfy the above conditions. The piezoelectric polymer includes a positive value including a piezoelectric constant d14 from the viewpoint of not generating a large electric charge on the central axis side and the outer side of the braided piezoelectric element 201 with respect to the elastic deformation. A P-body having a crystalline polymer as a main component and an N-body containing a negative crystalline polymer as a main component, and having a length of 1 cm for the central axis of the braided piezoelectric element 201, the alignment axis is wound into a spiral The mass of the P body arranged in the Z direction is set to ZP, the alignment axis is wound into a spiral, the mass of the P body disposed in the S direction is set to SP, and the alignment axis is wound into a spiral and arranged in the direction of the Z direction. The mass of the body is set to ZN, and the quality of the N body in which the alignment axis is wound into a spiral is set to SN, and the smaller one of (ZP+SN) and (SP+ZN) is set to T1. When the larger one is T2, the value of T1/T2 is more than 0.8, particularly preferably more than 0.8 and preferably 1.0 or less, and more preferably 0.9 or more and more than 0.9 and more preferably 1.0 or less. Here, even when the value of T1/T2 is not satisfied, the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0° or more and 10° or less, or 80° or more and 90° or less. When the temperature exceeds 10° and is less than 80°, the amount of electric charge generated by the expansion and contraction becomes small, and as a result, the electric signal can be selectively generated with respect to the torsional deformation. When a fiber containing polylactic acid as a main component is used as the piezoelectric fiber of the present invention, the lactic acid unit in the polylactic acid is preferably 90 mol% or more, and more preferably 95 mol% or more. It is better to use 98% or more. In addition, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, even if the sheath portion 202 and the other fibers other than the piezoelectric fiber A are combined with each other, the core portion 203 and the conductive portion may be electrically conductive. It is also possible to mix fibers or the like with other fibers other than the fiber B. The length of the braided piezoelectric element composed of the core portion 203 of the conductive fiber B, the sheath portion 202 of the braided piezoelectric fiber A, and the conductive layer 204 of the sheath portion 202 is not particularly limited. For example, even if the braided piezoelectric element is continuously manufactured in the production, it may be used after being cut into a length required later. The length of the braided piezoelectric element is 1 mm to 10 m, preferably 5 mm to 2 m, and preferably 1 cm to 1 m. When the length is too short, the fiber shape is lost, that is, convenience, and when the length is too long, the resistance value of the conductive fiber B needs to be considered. [0210] Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail. (Electrically Conductive Fiber) As the conductive fiber B, any known fiber can be used as the fiber indicating conductivity. Examples of the conductive fiber B include a fiber composed of a metal fiber, a fiber composed of a conductive polymer, a carbon fiber, a polymer in which a fibrous or granular conductive filler is dispersed, or a fibrous material. A fiber having a conductive layer is provided on the surface. Examples of the method of providing a conductive layer on the surface of the fibrous material include metal coating, conductive polymer coating, and winding of conductive fibers. Among them, metal coating is preferred from the viewpoints of conductivity, durability, flexibility, and the like. The specific method of coating the metal is, for example, vapor deposition, sputtering, electrolytic plating, electroless plating, etc., but plating is preferred from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. The metal thus plated may be referred to as a metal plated fiber. [0212] As the fiber of the substrate to which the metal is applied, well-known fibers can be used regardless of the presence or absence of conductivity, for example, in addition to polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, vinyl chloride fibers, aromatic poly In addition to synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyfluorene fibers, polyether fibers, and polyurethane fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, and acetate, and hydrazine may be used. Regenerated fiber such as copper amine fiber. The fibers of the substrate are not limited thereto, and any known fibers may be used arbitrarily, and these fibers may be used in combination. The metal of the fiber applied to the substrate represents electrical conductivity, and any one may be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, lead, palladium, indium tin oxide, copper sulfide, or the like, and mixtures or alloys thereof may be used. When the conductive fiber B is coated with a metal coated organic fiber having bending resistance, the conductive fiber is rarely broken, and the durability and safety of the sensor using the piezoelectric element are excellent. [0215] The conductive fiber B may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. Multifilament is preferred from the viewpoint of the stability of the electrical properties. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is from 1 μm to 5000 μm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm. It is preferably 3 μm to 50 μm. In the case of multifilaments, as the number of filaments, it is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 5 to 500, more preferably from 10 to 100. However, the fineness and the number of the conductive fibers B are the fineness and the number of the core portions 203 used in the production of the knitting, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as one. Conductive fiber B. Here, the core portion 203 is provided to include the entire amount of the fiber even when a fiber other than the conductive fiber is used. [0216] When the diameter of the fiber is small, the strength is lowered and it becomes difficult to handle, and further, in the case where the diameter is large, the flexibility is sacrificed. The cross-sectional shape of the conductive fiber B is preferably a circle or an ellipse from the viewpoint of design and manufacture of the piezoelectric element, but is not limited thereto. [0217] Furthermore, in order to efficiently take out the electrical output from the piezoelectric polymer, it is preferable that the electric resistance is low, and the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, the resistivity of the conductive fiber B is not limited to this in order to obtain sufficient strength for detecting the electrical signal. From the viewpoint of the use of the present invention, the conductive fiber B must have resistance to repeated bending or twisting. As its index, the nodule strength is preferably larger. The knot strength can be measured by the method of JIS L1013 8.6. The degree of the knot strength suitable for the present invention is preferably 0.5 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.5 cN/dtex or more, and most preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more. Further, as another index, the bending rigidity is preferably smaller. The bending rigidity is generally measured by a measuring device such as a KES-FB2 pure bending tester manufactured by KATO TECH Co., Ltd. As a degree of bending rigidity suitable for the present invention, a carbon fiber "TENAX" (registered trademark) HTS40-3K manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. is preferable. Specifically, the bending rigidity of the conductive fiber is 0.05×10. -4 N・m 2 /m below is better, to 0.02×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is preferred, to 0.01×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is better. (Piezoelectric fiber) The piezoelectric polymer, which is a material of the piezoelectric fiber A, may be a piezoelectric polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride or polylactic acid. In the above-described form, the piezoelectric fiber A preferably contains a crystalline polymer having a high absolute value of the piezoelectric constant d14 when the alignment axis is three axes, and particularly preferably polylactic acid as a main component. For example, the polylactic acid exhibits piezoelectricity by being easily aligned by stretching after melt spinning, and is excellent in productivity without requiring an electric field alignment treatment necessary for polyvinylidene fluoride or the like. However, this is not intended to exclude the use of piezoelectric materials other than polyvinylidene fluoride [0220] as polylactic acid, and depending on the crystal structure, L-lactic acid and L-lactide may be used. a poly-L-lactic acid obtained by polymerizing poly-L-lactic acid, a poly-D-lactic acid obtained by polymerizing D-lactic acid and D-lactide, and a stereocomplex polylactic acid formed by the above-mentioned mixed structure, but When it is used to indicate piezoelectricity, it can be used. From the viewpoint of high piezoelectricity, poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid are preferred. Since poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid have opposite polarizations for the same stress, they can be used in combination according to the purpose. The optical purity of the polylactic acid is preferably 99% or more, more preferably 99.3% or more, and still more preferably 99.5% or more. When the optical purity is less than 99%, the piezoelectricity is remarkably lowered, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient electric signal by the shape change of the piezoelectric fiber A. In particular, the piezoelectric fiber A contains poly-L-lactic acid or poly-D-lactic acid as a main component, and these optical purity is preferably 99% or more. The piezoelectric fiber A containing polylactic acid as a main component extends at the time of production and is uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is not only uniaxially aligned in the fiber axis direction, but preferably contains fibers of polylactic acid crystals, and more preferably fibers containing uniaxially oriented polylactic acid crystals. Since polylactic acid has high crystallinity and uniaxial alignment, it indicates large piezoelectricity, and the absolute value of d14 becomes high. [0223] Crystallinity and uniaxial alignment are achieved by uniform PLA crystallization degree X Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) were determined. As the piezoelectric fiber A of the present invention, the degree of crystallization of the PLA is X. Homo (%) and the crystal orientation degree Ao (%) satisfy the following formula (1). In the case where the above formula (1) is not satisfied, crystallinity and/or uniaxial alignment are insufficient, and the output value of the electric signal to the operation is lowered, or the sensitivity of the signal to the action in a specific direction is lowered. The value on the left side of the above formula (1) is preferably 0.28 or more, more preferably 0.3 or more. Here, each value is obtained as follows. [0224] The degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo : For the degree of crystallization of homopolylactic acid X Homo It is obtained by analyzing the crystal structure due to wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD). In the wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), an ultrax18 type X-ray diffraction apparatus manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd. was used, and the X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was recorded on the image plate by the penetration method using the following conditions. X-ray source: Cu-Kα ray (confocal lens) Output: 45kV × 60mA Slot: 1st: 1mmΦ, 2nd: 0.8mmΦ Photography length: 120mm Accumulated time: 10 minutes Sample: 35mg of polylactic acid fiber and yarn into 3cm Fiber bundles. In the obtained X-ray diffraction pattern, the total scattering intensity Itotal is obtained at the azimuth angle, and the diffraction peaks from the homopolylactic acid crystal appearing in the vicinity of 2θ=16.5°, 18.5°, and 24.3° are obtained here. The sum of the integrated intensities ΣIHMi. From these values, the degree of crystallization of the per-lactic acid is determined according to the following formula (2). Homo . Homopolymeric crystallization degree X Homo (%)=ΣI HMi /I Total ×100 (2) In addition, ΣI HMi It is calculated by subtracting the background or amorphous diffuse scattering from the total scattering intensity. (2) Crystal orientation degree Ao: For the crystal orientation degree Ao, in the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by the above wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), 2θ=16.5 appears in the direction of the moving diameter. The diffraction peak from the homopolylactic acid crystal near °, taking the intensity distribution with respect to the azimuth angle (°), and the total value of the half-value width from the obtained distribution curveΣ Wi (°) is calculated by the following formula (3). Crystalline orientation Ao (%) = (360-ΣW i ÷360×100 (3) [0226] In addition, since polylactic acid is a polyester which is rapidly decomposed by water, it is possible to add a known isocyanate compound, an oxazoline compound, or a ring when there is a problem in heat and humidity resistance. A hydrolyzing agent such as an oxygen compound or a carbodiimide compound may also be used. In addition, it is also possible to improve the physical properties by adding an oxidation preventing agent such as a phosphate compound, a plasticizer, a photodegradation preventing agent, or the like, as needed. [0227] The piezoelectric fiber A may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is 1 μm to 5 mm, preferably 5 μm to 2 mm, more preferably 10 μm to 1 mm. In the case of a multifilament, the monofilament diameter is from 0.1 μm to 5 mm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm, more preferably from 3 μm to 50 μm. The number of filaments of the multifilament is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 50 to 50,000, and more preferably from 100 to 20,000. However, the fineness or the number of strips of the piezoelectric fiber A is determined by the fineness and the number of the strips of each carrier at the time of knitting, and the multifilament formed by a plurality of monofilaments (monofilaments) is also counted as A piezoelectric fiber A. Here, in the case where fibers other than the conductive fibers are used in one carrier, the total amount is included. In order to obtain such a piezoelectric polymer as the piezoelectric fiber A, any one of the well-known methods for forming a fiber from a polymer can be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, a method of performing fibrillation by extrusion molding a piezoelectric polymer, a method of fibrillating a piezoelectric polymer by melt spinning, and a piezoelectricity by dry or wet spinning can be employed. A method in which a molecule is fibrillated, a method in which a piezoelectric polymer is fibrillated by electrospinning, a method of cutting a film after forming a film, and the like. These spinning conditions may be applied to a piezoelectric polymer to be used in accordance with a known method, and a melt spinning method which is industrially easy to produce may be used. Also, after the fibers are formed, the formed fibers are extended. Accordingly, the uniaxially elongated alignment is formed and the piezoelectric piezoelectric fiber A exhibiting large piezoelectricity is contained. Further, the piezoelectric fiber A is subjected to a treatment such as dyeing, crepe, bonding, heat treatment, or the like before the fiber produced as described above is knitted. Further, since the piezoelectric fibers A have frictional breakage or breakage when the fibers are formed, it is preferable that the piezoelectric fibers A are relatively high in strength and abrasion resistance, and the strength is 1.5 cN/dtex. The above is preferable, preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 2.5 cN/dtex or more, and 3.0 cN/dtex or more. The abrasion resistance can be evaluated by the JIS L1095 9.10.2 B method or the like, and the number of rubbing times is preferably 100 or more, preferably 1,000 or more, more preferably 5,000 or more, and most preferably 10,000 or more. The method for improving the abrasion resistance is not particularly limited, and all known methods can be used, for example, the degree of crystallization can be increased, or fine particles can be added, or surface processing can be performed. Further, when processing into a braid, it is also possible to apply a lubricant to the fibers to reduce friction. Further, the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber and the shrinkage ratio of the conductive fiber is preferably small. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing or after the fabric is produced, or the film is bent, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal is weakened. Happening. When the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio described later, the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(p) of the piezoelectric fiber and the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(c) of the conductive fiber are preferably in the following formula (4). The left side of the above formula (4) is preferably 5 or less, and more preferably 3 or less. Further, it is preferable that the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is smaller than the difference between the shrinkage ratio of the fiber other than the conductive fiber, for example, the insulating fiber. When the difference in shrinkage ratio is large, there is a change in the time when the heat is applied or the time is changed after the processing is performed or after the fabric is produced, or when the heat is applied, or the flatness of the fabric is deteriorated, and the piezoelectric signal becomes weak. The situation. When the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio, the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(p) of the piezoelectric fiber and the boiling water shrinkage ratio S(i) of the insulating fiber satisfy the following formula (5). The left side of the above formula (5) is preferably 5 or less, and more preferably 3 or less. Further, it is preferable that the piezoelectric fiber has a small shrinkage ratio. For example, when the shrinkage ratio is quantified by the boiling water shrinkage ratio, the shrinkage ratio of the piezoelectric fiber is preferably 15% or less, preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and most preferably 3% or less. good. As a means for reducing the shrinkage ratio, various methods can be applied. For example, the degree of alignment relaxation or crystallization of the amorphous portion is improved by heat treatment, whereby the shrinkage ratio can be lowered, and the timing of performing the heat treatment is not particularly limited, and extension is exemplified. After the crepe, after the weaving, after the cloth, and so on. Further, the boiling water shrinkage rate was measured by the following method. A skein of 20 times was produced by a cloth inspection machine of 1.125 m around the outer frame, and a load of 0.022 cN/dtex was applied, and the initial skein length L0 was measured by hanging on a scale plate. Thereafter, the skein was treated in a boiling water bath at 100 ° C for 30 minutes, left to cool, and the above load was applied again, and suspended on a scale plate, and the length L of the skein after shrinkage was measured. The boiling water shrinkage ratio was calculated by the following formula (6) using the measured L0 and L. Boiling water shrinkage ratio = (L0 - L) / L0 × 100 (%) (6) [Coated] The conductive fiber B, that is, the core portion 203 is a piezoelectric fiber A, that is, a braided sheath portion 202 covers the surface. The thickness of the sheath portion 202 covering the conductive fibers B is preferably 1 μm to 10 mm, more preferably 5 μm to 5 mm, still more preferably 10 μm to 3 mm, and most preferably 20 μm to 1 mm. When it is too thin, there is a problem that there is a problem at the point of strength. Further, when it is too thick, the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. In addition, the sheath portion 202 as used herein refers to a layer adjacent to the core portion 203. In the braided piezoelectric element 201, the total fineness of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 202 is preferably 1/2 or more and 20 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B of the core portion 203. It is preferably 1 time or more and 15 times or less, more preferably 2 times or more and 10 times or less. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A to the total fineness of the conductive fiber B is too small, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is too small, the conductive fiber B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the conductive fiber B is present. Contact with other conductive fibers that are close to each other. When the total fineness of the piezoelectric fiber A and the total fineness of the conductive fiber B are excessively large, the piezoelectric fiber A surrounding the conductive fiber B is excessively large, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes hard to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 201 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. The total fineness referred to herein is the sum of the fineness of the piezoelectric fibers A constituting the sheath portion 202. For example, in the case of generally 8-strand weaving, the total densities of the eight fibers are obtained. Further, in the braided piezoelectric element 201, the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A of the sheath portion 202 is preferably 1/20 or more and 2 or less times the total fineness of the conductive fibers B. It is preferably 1/15 times or more and 1.5 times or less, more preferably 1/10 times or more and 1 time or less. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is too small with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are too small, the conductive fibers B cannot output a sufficient electric signal, and the piezoelectric fibers A are cut off. Hey. When the fineness of each of the piezoelectric fibers A is excessively large with respect to the total fineness of the conductive fibers B, the piezoelectric fibers A are excessively thick, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 becomes hard and becomes difficult to be deformed. That is, even in either case, the braided piezoelectric element 201 cannot function as a sensor sufficiently. In the case where the conductive fiber B is a metal fiber or the metal fiber is mixed with the conductive fiber B or the piezoelectric fiber A, the ratio of the fineness is not limited to the above. In the present invention, the above ratio is important in terms of contact area or coverage ratio, that is, from the viewpoint of area and volume. For example, in the case where the specific gravity of each fiber exceeds 2, the ratio of the average cross-sectional area of the fibers is preferably the ratio of the above-mentioned fineness. [0238] Although the piezoelectric fiber A and the conductive fiber B are preferably as close as possible to each other, in order to improve the adhesion, an anchor layer or a bonding layer may be provided between the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A. . [0239] The method of coating is a method in which the conductive fiber B is used as a core yarn, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound around the braided shape. Further, the braided shape of the piezoelectric fiber A is not limited as long as it can output an electric signal to the stress generated by the applied load, and it is preferable to have the 8-strand braid or the 16-knit braid having the core portion 203. The shape of the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A is not particularly limited, and it is preferably as close as possible to a concentric shape. In the case where a multifilament is used as the conductive fiber B, the piezoelectric fiber A may be coated with at least a part of the surface (fiber peripheral surface) of the multifilament of the conductive fiber B, even if It is also possible to coat the surface of the fibrils (fiber peripheral surface) constituting the multifilaments with the piezoelectric fibers A, even if they are not coated. The state in which the piezoelectric fibers A are coated in the respective filaments of the multifilaments of the conductive fibers B may be appropriately set in consideration of performance, workability, and the like of the piezoelectric element. (Electrically Conductive Layer) The conductive layer 204 has a function as an electrode that serves as a counter electrode of the conductive fiber of the core portion 203, and the conductive fiber that shields the core portion 203 prevents external electromagnetic waves and suppresses conduction at the core portion 203. The function of the shielding of the noise signal generated by the fiber. Since the conductive layer 204 functions as a shield, it is preferably grounded (connected to the ground or the ground of the electronic circuit). According to this, the S/N ratio (signal-to-noise ratio) of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be remarkably improved even if the conductive cloth for electromagnetic wave shielding is not overlapped above the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207. As the conductive layer 204, even in the case of coating, even if the film, the cloth, or the fiber is wound, it may be combined. [0242] The coating of the conductive layer 204 may be carried out by using a material containing a substance indicating conductivity, and a known owner is used. For example, a metal, a conductive polymer, and a polymer in which a conductive filler is dispersed may be mentioned. In the case where the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding a film, a film obtained by using a conductive polymer or a film-forming polymer to disperse a conductive filler is used, and further, conductive is provided on the surface. Thin film can also be used. When the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding of a fabric, a fabric in which a conductive fiber 206 to be described later is used as a constituent component is used. [0245] In the case where the conductive layer 204 is formed by winding a fiber, a cover, a knitted fabric, or a woven fabric can be considered as a means. Further, the fibers to be used are the conductive fibers 206, and the conductive fibers 206 may be of the same type as the conductive fibers B, and may be different types of conductive fibers. Examples of the conductive fiber 206 include a fiber composed of a metal fiber, a fiber composed of a conductive polymer, a carbon fiber, a polymer in which a fibrous or granular conductive filler is dispersed, or a fibrous material. A fiber having a conductive layer is provided on the surface. Examples of the method of providing a conductive layer on the surface of the fibrous material include metal coating, conductive polymer coating, and winding of conductive fibers. Among them, metal coating is preferred from the viewpoints of conductivity, durability, flexibility, and the like. The specific method of coating the metal is, for example, vapor deposition, sputtering, electrolytic plating, electroless plating, etc., but plating is preferred from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. The metal thus plated may be referred to as a metal plated fiber. [0246] As the fiber of the substrate to which the metal is applied, well-known fibers can be used regardless of the presence or absence of conductivity, for example, in addition to polyester fiber, nylon fiber, acrylic fiber, polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, vinyl chloride fiber, aromatic poly In addition to synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyfluorene fibers, polyether fibers, and polyurethane fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, and acetate, and hydrazine may be used. Regenerated fiber such as copper amine fiber. The fibers of the substrate are not limited thereto, and any known fibers may be used arbitrarily, and these fibers may be used in combination. The metal of the fiber applied to the substrate represents electrical conductivity, and any one may be used as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved. For example, gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, lead, palladium, indium tin oxide, copper sulfide, or the like, and mixtures or alloys thereof may be used. When the conductive fiber 206 is coated with a metal coated organic fiber having bending resistance, the conductive fiber is rarely broken, and the durability and safety of the sensor using the piezoelectric element are excellent. [0249] The conductive fiber 206 may be a multifilament in which a plurality of filaments are bundled, or a monofilament composed of one filament. Multifilament is preferred from the viewpoint of the stability of the electrical properties. In the case of a monofilament (including a spun yarn), the monofilament diameter is from 1 μm to 5000 μm, preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm. It is preferably 3 μm to 50 μm. In the case of multifilaments, as the number of filaments, it is preferably from 1 to 100,000, preferably from 5 to 500, more preferably from 10 to 100. [0250] When the diameter of the fiber is small, the strength is lowered and it becomes difficult to handle, and further, in the case where the diameter is large, flexibility is sacrificed. The cross-sectional shape of the conductive fiber 206 is preferably a circle or an ellipse from the viewpoint of design and manufacture of the piezoelectric element, but is not limited thereto. [0251] Furthermore, in order to improve the suppression effect of the noise signal, the resistance is preferably low, and the volume resistivity is 10 -1 Ω・cm or less is better, with 10 -2 Ω·cm or less is preferred, with 10 -3 Ω·cm or less is more preferable. However, when the suppression effect of the noise signal is obtained, the specific resistance is not limited to this. From the viewpoint of the use of the present invention, the conductive fibers 206 must have resistance to repeated bending or twisting. As its index, the nodule strength is preferably larger. The knot strength can be measured by the method of JIS L1013 8.6. The degree of the knot strength suitable for the present invention is preferably 0.5 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.0 cN/dtex or more, more preferably 1.5 cN/dtex or more, and most preferably 2.0 cN/dtex or more. Further, as another index, the bending rigidity is preferably smaller. The bending rigidity is generally measured by a measuring device such as a KES-FB2 pure bending tester manufactured by KATO TECH Co., Ltd. As a degree of bending rigidity suitable for the present invention, a carbon fiber "TENAX" (registered trademark) HTS40-3K manufactured by Toho Tenax Co., Ltd. is preferable. Specifically, the bending rigidity of the conductive fiber is 0.05×10. -4 N・m 2 /m below is better, to 0.02×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is preferred, to 0.01×10 -4 N・m 2 Below /m is better. (Protective Layer) A protective layer may be provided on the outermost surface of the braided piezoelectric element 201 according to the present invention. The protective layer is preferably insulating, and is preferably composed of a polymer from the viewpoint of flexibility. In the case where the protective layer is insulative, of course, in this case, the protective layer may be deformed together or rubbed on the protective layer, but if the external force reaches the piezoelectric fiber A, it may be induced. When it is polarized, it is not particularly limited. The protective layer is not limited to those formed by coating of a polymer or the like, and may be a wound film, a cloth, a fiber, or the like, or may be combined. Further, the fabric relating to the present invention described later can be used as a protective layer, and it is preferable from the viewpoint of simplification of the constitution. [0254] As the thickness of the protective layer, the shear stress is more easily transmitted to the piezoelectric fiber A at a thinner thickness, but when it is too thin, the protective layer itself is easily broken, and the like. 10 nm to 200 μm is preferred, preferably 50 nm to 50 μm, more preferably 70 nm to 30 μm, and most preferably 100 nm to 10 μm. The shape of the piezoelectric element can also be formed by the protective layer. Further, a layer in which a plurality of layers are composed of piezoelectric fibers or a layer in which a plurality of layers are formed of conductive fibers for taking out signals may be provided. Needless to say, the order of the protective layer, the layer composed of the piezoelectric fibers, and the layer composed of the conductive fibers is appropriately determined depending on the purpose. Further, as a method of winding, a method of forming a woven structure or covering the outer layer of the sheath portion 202 may be mentioned. [0256] The braided piezoelectric element 201 of the present invention measures the conductivity of the core of the braided piezoelectric element 201 in addition to the deformation or stress that can be detected by the output of the electrical signal caused by the piezoelectric effect described above. The change in electrostatic capacitance between the fiber B and the conductive layer 204 can also detect the deformation caused by the pressure applied to the braided piezoelectric element 201. Further, in the case where a plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are used in combination, by measuring the change in electrostatic capacitance between the conductive layers 204 of the respective braided piezoelectric elements 201, it is also possible to detect application to the braided piezoelectric element 201. Deformation caused by piezoelectric. (Corrugated Piezoelectric Element) The cloth-like piezoelectric element of the present invention is characterized in that at least one braided piezoelectric element is fixed to the fabric. In this way, not only can the fabric itself be processed into a desired shape such as clothes, but also can be sewn or adhered to various methods such as ready-made clothes or structures without a sensor function. This makes it easy and convenient to have sensor functions. Fig. 17 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a cloth-like piezoelectric element using a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. [0258] In the example of FIG. 17, the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is fixed to the fabric 208 by at least one braided piezoelectric element 201. At least one of the fibers (including knitting) constituting the fabric of the fabric 208 is a braided piezoelectric element 201, and the braided piezoelectric element 201 is not limited as long as it functions as a piezoelectric element, and even any braid can be used. . In the case of forming a cloth, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, it is possible to perform interlacing, interlacing, and the like in combination with other fibers (including knitting). Of course, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is used as one of the fibers constituting the fabric (for example, warp or weft), even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is embroidered on the fabric, it may be joined. In the example shown in Fig. 17, the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is a flat fabric in which at least one of the braided piezoelectric element 201 and the insulating fiber 209 is disposed as a warp yarn, and the insulating fiber 209 is disposed as a weft. The insulating fiber 209 will be described later. Further, all or a part of the insulating fibers 209 may be in a woven form. In this case, when the braided piezoelectric element 207 is deformed by bending or the like, the braided piezoelectric element 201 is also deformed with the deformation, and is output from the braided piezoelectric element 201. The electrical signal can detect the deformation of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207. Further, since the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be used as a fabric (woven fabric), it can be applied to, for example, a garment-type wearable sensor. Further, in the configuration in which the insulating fibers of the weft yarns of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 shown in FIG. 17 are partially replaced by the conductive fibers 210 (FIG. 18), the conductive fibers 210 and the braided pressure are used. The electrical components 201 are crossed and in contact. Therefore, the conductive fibers 210 are in contact with at least a portion of the conductive layer 204 of the braided piezoelectric element 201, and such conductive fibers 210 can be connected to the electronic circuit replacing the conductive layer 204. The conductive fibers 210 may be of the same type as the conductive fibers B, and may be of a different type of conductive fibers, even if all or a part of them are in a woven form. In the braided piezoelectric element of the present invention, the pull-out strength of the braided piezoelectric element per 5 cm of the fabric is 0.1 N or more. In this way, since the difference between the deformation of the cloth and the deformation of the braided piezoelectric element is minimized, the amount of deformation of the braided piezoelectric element detected by the electric signal of the braided piezoelectric element can be used to make the estimation. The error at the time of deformation of the cloth is minimized, and the reproducibility can be improved. When the braided piezoelectric element has a pull-out strength of less than 0.1 N per 5 cm of the fabric, for example, even if the fabric is stretched and deformed, slippage occurs between the braided piezoelectric element and the fabric, and the braided piezoelectric element is not Fully telescopic deformation, the amount of expansion and contraction detected by the electric signal of the braided piezoelectric element is significantly smaller than that of the cloth, and the reproducibility is low. From such a viewpoint, the pull-out strength per 5 cm of the braided piezoelectric element is preferably 0.2 N or more, more preferably 0.3 N or more, and particularly preferably 0.4 or more. Further, it is preferable that the pulling strength is equal to or higher than the strength of the braided piezoelectric element. In the present invention, the "drawing strength per 5 cm of the braided piezoelectric element to the fabric" is determined in the following manner. First, in the case where the woven piezoelectric element is exposed from the cloth-like piezoelectric element, the woven piezoelectric element is held by one of the workpieces held by the tensile testing machine, and the woven piezoelectric element is separated from the gripping side. A portion of the fixed end of the element of 5 cm cuts the braided piezoelectric element and the cloth-like piezoelectric element. The braided piezoelectric element is fixed to a portion of the 5 cm portion of the fabric except for a region within 1 mm from the braided piezoelectric element, and the workpiece is held in a U-shape by 5 cm in the longitudinal direction of the braided piezoelectric element. It is controlled and connected to the other side of the holding workpiece of the tensile testing machine. Further, in this state, the tensile test was carried out at a speed of 10 mm/min, and the maximum strength was measured, and the pull-out strength was measured. In the case where the braided piezoelectric element is not sufficiently exposed from the cloth-like piezoelectric element, one of the fabrics (a portion other than the braided piezoelectric element) is cut to expose the braided piezoelectric element, and the above-described manner is performed. Just measure. In addition, when it is difficult to ensure that the length of the portion in which the braided piezoelectric element is fixed to the fabric is 5 cm, the pull-out strength is measured at a fixed portion of an arbitrary length, and the strength may be converted into a strength of 5 cm. The braided piezoelectric element of the present invention preferably has a coverage of the braided piezoelectric element of the fabric constituting the fabric of more than 30% on both sides of the fabric. In this way, not only the braided piezoelectric element increases the pull-out strength of the fabric, but also the difference between the deformation of the fabric and the deformation of the braided piezoelectric element is minimized, and it is difficult to be caused by external friction, heat, light, or the like. Damage. From such a viewpoint, the coverage of the braided piezoelectric element due to the fibers constituting the fabric is preferably more than 50% on both sides of the fabric, more preferably more than 70%, and most preferably 100%. [0264] The coverage of the braided piezoelectric element due to the fibers constituting the fabric is calculated from the image when viewed from one of the faces of the cloth-like piezoelectric element, and the projected area with respect to the braided piezoelectric element is calculated. The area ratio of the portion of the braided piezoelectric element is shielded by the fibers constituting the fabric. Even if the observation image is viewed from the other side, the same evaluation is performed, and the coverage ratio is calculated on both sides of the cloth. In such a case, in the fabric caused by the usual woven fabric (plain, twill, satin, etc.), although the coverage is difficult to exceed 50% on both sides, the tissue is changed by plain weave or twill weave. When weaving, we use textile yarn or multifilament, or increase the density of the yarn orthogonal to the braided piezoelectric element, or make the density of the yarn parallel to the braided piezoelectric element relatively low, which can be made on both sides of the fabric. Over 50% coverage rate. However, since the density of the yarn orthogonal to the braided piezoelectric element is increased, when the tension of the yarn orthogonal to the braided piezoelectric element is excessively lowered, the force for restraining the braided piezoelectric element is weakened. As a result, the desired pull-out strength cannot be achieved, which is not preferable. Furthermore, by fabricating the fabric by sandwiching the braided piezoelectric element between the double-layer fabric or the layer of the double-layer fabric, the coverage of both sides of the fabric can be greatly improved, and it can be made 100% or Close to 100%. Further, when the coverage ratio is 30% or less, the braided piezoelectric element is exposed from the fibers of the fabric, and the protection is insufficient. Even if the fibers constituting the fabric are transparent, they are considered to be covered. In the case where the braided piezoelectric element is provided with a protective layer on the outer layer of the conductive layer 204, the protective layer is also considered to be a braided piezoelectric element. (Multiple Piezoelectric Element) Further, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, a plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 can be arranged and used. As the arrangement, for example, as the warp yarn or the weft yarn, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is used in all, the braided piezoelectric element 201 may be used for every few or a part. Further, even if a certain portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 201 as a warp yarn, and the other portion uses the braided piezoelectric element 201 as a weft yarn. 19 is a schematic view showing another configuration example of a cloth-like piezoelectric element using a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is provided with a fabric 208 including at least two braided piezoelectric elements 201, and the braided piezoelectric elements 201 are arranged to be slightly parallel. The cloth 208 is at least two of the fibers (including knitting) constituting the fabric, and is a braided piezoelectric element 201. The braided piezoelectric element 201 is not limited as long as it functions as a piezoelectric element, even if it is any braid. can. In the example shown in FIG. 19, the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is a flat fabric in which at least two braided piezoelectric elements 201 and insulating fibers 209 are disposed as warp yarns, and insulating fibers 209 are disposed as weft yarns. The insulating fiber 209 will be described later. Further, all or a part of the insulating fibers 209 may be in a woven form. Further, as in the case of Fig. 18, the insulating fibers of the weft of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 shown in Fig. 19 may be partially replaced with conductive fibers. [0267] Although the piezoelectric signal is emitted when the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, the signal also changes in size or shape in response to the deformation. In the case of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 shown in FIG. 19, when the line orthogonal to the two braided piezoelectric elements 201 of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is a curved portion and is bent and deformed, two The braided piezoelectric element 201 has the same deformation. Therefore, the same signal is detected from the two braided piezoelectric elements 201. Further, in the case where a complicated deformation such as a twist is applied, the two braided piezoelectric elements 201 are individually induced to be deformed, and the signals generated by the respective braided piezoelectric elements 201 are different. According to this principle, the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are combined, and the signals generated by the respective braided piezoelectric elements 201 are compared and calculated, whereby the complicated deformation analysis of the braided piezoelectric elements 201 can be performed. For example, by comparing the results obtained by comparing the polarity, amplitude, phase, and the like of the signal generated by each of the braided piezoelectric elements 201, it is possible to detect a complicated deformation such as torsion. [0268] In the above-described configuration, the two braided piezoelectric elements 201 are disposed at intervals from each other from the viewpoint of different deformation of the two braided piezoelectric elements 201 with respect to the bending of the fabric, specifically The distance between the portions where the piezoelectric fibers are closest to each other is 0.05 mm or more and 500 mm or less, preferably 0.1 mm or more and 200 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or more and 100 mm or less. Further, in the case where the fabric contains signal detection without using a braided piezoelectric element, even if the distance between the braided piezoelectric element and the other braided piezoelectric element is less than 0.05 mm. As described above, by combining the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201, the signals generated in the respective braided piezoelectric elements 201 are compared and calculated, and complicated deformation analysis such as bending or torsion can be performed. Therefore, for example, it can be applied to, for example, Wearable sensors in the shape of clothing. In this case, when the braided piezoelectric element 207 is deformed by bending or the like, the braided piezoelectric element 201 is also deformed in accordance with the deformation thereof, and therefore, according to the electric signal output from the braided piezoelectric element 201, The deformation of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be detected. Further, since the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be used as a fabric (woven fabric), it can be applied to, for example, a garment-type wearable sensor. (Insulating Fiber) In the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, an insulating fiber can be used in a portion other than the braided piezoelectric element 201 (and the conductive fiber 210). In this case, the insulating fiber is used for the purpose of improving the flexibility of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, and a fiber having a stretchable material or shape can be used. In this way, by arranging the insulating fibers in addition to the braided piezoelectric element 201 (and the conductive fibers 210), the operability of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 can be improved (exemplified as a wearable sensor) Activity is easy). [0272] As such an insulating fiber, if the volume resistivity is 10 6 It can be used when Ω・cm or more, to 10 8 Ω·cm or more is preferred, with 10 10 Ω·cm or more is more preferable. [0273] As the insulating fiber, for example, in addition to polyester fiber, nylon fiber, acrylic fiber, polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, vinyl chloride fiber, aromatic polyamide fiber, polyfluorene fiber, polyether fiber, polyamine group In addition to synthetic fibers such as formate fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, and enamel, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, and regenerated fibers such as hydrazine or copper amine can be used. It is not limited to these, and the well-known insulating fiber can be used arbitrarily. In addition, even if these insulating fibers are used in combination, they may be used in combination with fibers having no insulating properties, and may be fibers having overall insulating properties. [0274] Further, it is also possible to use fibers of all known cross-sectional shapes. (Manufacturing Method) The woven piezoelectric element 201 according to the present invention covers the surface of at least one of the conductive fibers B by the woven piezoelectric fiber A, but the method for producing the same may be, for example, the following method. . In other words, the conductive fiber B and the piezoelectric fiber A are separately produced, and the piezoelectric fiber A is wound into a braided shape to coat the conductive fiber B. In this case, it is preferable to cover as close as possible to a concentric shape. In this case, the spinning and stretching conditions in which the piezoelectric polymer is formed as the piezoelectric fiber A and the polylactic acid is used preferably have a melt spinning temperature of 150° C. to 250° C. Preferably, the extension temperature is preferably from 40 ° C to 150 ° C, the stretching ratio is preferably from 1.1 to 5.0, and the crystallization temperature is preferably from 80 ° C to 170 ° C. [0277] As the piezoelectric fiber A wound around the conductive fiber B, even if a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments is used, a single filament (including a textile yarn) may be used. In addition, as the conductive fiber B wound around the piezoelectric fiber A, even if a multifilament of a bundle of a plurality of filaments is used, a single filament (including a textile yarn) may be used. [0278] As a preferred embodiment of the coating, the piezoelectric fiber A can be knitted into a braided shape by using the conductive fiber B as a core yarn, and a tubular braid (Tubular Braid) can be produced and coated. More specifically, an 8-strand woven or a 16-knit woven fabric having a core portion 203 can be cited. However, for example, even if the piezoelectric fiber A is in the form of a braided tube, the conductive fiber B is regarded as a core portion, and the braided tube may be inserted and coated. [0279] Although the conductive layer 204 is produced by coating or winding of fibers, it is preferable to use a fiber to be wound from the viewpoint of easy production. As the winding method of the fiber, a cover, a knitted fabric, and a woven fabric can be considered, and it can be manufactured by any method. According to the above-described manufacturing method, the braided piezoelectric element 201 in which the surface of the conductive fiber B is coated with the braided piezoelectric fiber A and the conductive layer 204 is provided around it can be obtained. The braided piezoelectric element 207 of the present invention is produced by weaving and arranging. As long as the object of the present invention is achieved, it may be interlaced, cross-linked, cross-linked, etc., in combination with other fibers (including weaving). Of course, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is used as part of the fiber (for example, warp or weft) constituting the fabric, even if the braided piezoelectric element 201 is embroidered on the fabric, even if it is joined, even if it is combined These methods are also possible. Further, it is preferable that the strip-shaped cloth-like piezoelectric element in which the cloth is present only in the vicinity of the braided piezoelectric element 201 can be easily provided by sewing or pasting on other fabrics. In this case, the distance between the end of the tape and the braided piezoelectric element (the distance in the width direction of the tape) is preferably 1 mm or more and 100 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm or more and 50 mm or less, and still more preferably 5 mm or more and 20 mm or less. In the case of a strip-shaped piezoelectric element, it is possible to manufacture a wide-sized piezoelectric element in parallel with the braided piezoelectric element 201, but from the viewpoint of simplifying the manufacturing process, It is preferable to embroider and bond the braided piezoelectric element 201 on the tape during the weaving and preparation of the tape, and interlacing, interlacing, and interlacing. [0282] The woven structure of the woven fabric may be exemplified by three original structures such as plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave, a single structure, a double weave, a double weave, and the like. Even if it is a warp knitted fabric (weft weaving), it can be used as a warp. As the organization of the circular knitting fabric (weft knitting), it is preferable to exemplify a flat knitting, a rib knitting, a double sided knitting, a reverse stitch knitting, a hanging needle knitting, a floating thread knitting, a half-side knitting, a yarn knitting, and a wool knitting. As a warp knitting organization, a single-sided warp-knit flat weave, a single-sided warp-knitted satin stitch, a double-sided warp-knitted quilt, a velvet-warp woven, a velvet knitting, a jacquard knitting, and the like can be exemplified. The number of layers may be a single layer or a multilayer of two or more layers. Further, it is also possible to form a woven fabric or a woven fabric composed of a bristles and a base tissue portion which are formed by woven wool and/or loops. [0283] From the viewpoint of simplifying the manufacturing process, the improvement of the pull-out strength, and the coverage ratio, it is preferable that the braided piezoelectric element is fixed to the fabric in a state of being woven or knitted, so as to be woven. It is more preferable that the piezoelectric element is sandwiched between the layers of the multi-layer woven fabric or the multi-woven fabric. Multilayer means two or more layers. (Applicable Techniques of Piezoelectric Element) The piezoelectric element such as the braided piezoelectric element 201 or the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 of the present invention can output contact, pressure, and surface contact with each other even in any aspect. The shape change is used as a signal, and can be utilized as a sensor (device) that detects the magnitude of the stress applied to its piezoelectric element and/or the position to be applied. Further, the electric signal may be used as a power source for powering another device or a power generating element such as power storage. Specifically, it is used for power generation by a movable part of a spontaneous exerciser such as a human, an animal, a robot, or a machine, and the power generation due to the surface of the sole, the dressing, and the structure of the external pressure is caused by the fluid. The shape changes in the power generation. Furthermore, since the electrical signal is emitted by the shape change in the fluid, it is also possible to adsorb or suppress the adhesion of the charged substance in the fluid. 6 is a block diagram showing a device 111 including the piezoelectric element 112 of the present invention. The device 111 includes a piezoelectric element 112 (the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207), and an amplification means 113 for arbitrarily selecting and amplifying the electric signal output from the output terminal of the piezoelectric element 112 in response to the applied pressure, and outputting the The output means 114 for amplifying the arbitrarily selected amplification means 113 and the means for transmitting the electric signal outputted from the output means 114 to the transmission means 115 of an external device (not shown). When the device 111 is used, the electrical signal outputted according to the contact, pressure, and shape change of the surface of the piezoelectric element 112 can be detected and applied to the piezoelectric element by an external device (not shown). The magnitude of the stress and/or the location to be applied. The arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be constructed, for example, in the form of a software program, or may be constructed by a combination of various electronic circuits and software programs. For example, the software program is installed in an arithmetic processing unit (not shown), and the arithmetic processing unit operates in accordance with the software program, thereby realizing the functions of the respective units. Furthermore, the arbitrarily selected amplification means 113, the output means 114, and the transmission means 115 may be realized as a semiconductor integrated circuit for writing a software program for realizing the functions of the respective units. Further, the transmission method by the transmission means 115 may be determined by wireless or wired, and may be appropriately determined in accordance with the sensor configured. Alternatively, even in the device 111, an arithmetic means (not shown) for calculating the magnitude of the stress applied to the piezoelectric element 112 and/or the applied position based on the electrical signal output from the output means 114 may be provided. . Further, not only the amplifying means but also a well-known signal processing means such as a means for removing noise or a means for performing processing in combination with other signals may be used. The order of connection of these means can be appropriately changed depending on the purpose. Of course, even if the electrical signal output from the piezoelectric element 112 is transmitted to the external device as it is, the signal processing can be performed. 20 to 22 are schematic views showing a configuration example of an apparatus including a braided piezoelectric element according to an embodiment. The amplification means 113 of Figs. 20 to 22 corresponds to the description with reference to Fig. 6, and the output means 114 and the transmission means 115 of Fig. 6 are not shown in Figs. When the device having the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 is configured, the input terminal of the amplification means 113 is connected to the output terminal of the core portion 203 (formed by the conductive fiber B) of the braided piezoelectric element 201. The wire or ground terminal is connected to the conductive layer 204 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 or the conductive fiber 210 of the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207 or a braid different from the braided piezoelectric element 201 connected to the input terminal of the amplification means 113. Piezoelectric element. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, a pull-out line from an output terminal of the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is connected to an input terminal of the amplification means 113 to be woven. The conductive layer 204 of the piezoelectric element 201 is grounded. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201 is connected to the input terminal of the amplification means 113, and the knitting is performed. The conductive fibers 210 that are in contact with each other are in contact with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 22, when the plurality of braided piezoelectric elements 201 are arranged in the cloth-like piezoelectric element 207, the pull-out from the output terminal of the core portion 203 of the one knitted piezoelectric element 201 is pulled out. The line is connected to the input terminal of the amplification means 113, and the pull-out line from the core portion 203 of the other braided piezoelectric element 201 arranged in the braided piezoelectric element 201 is grounded. [0288] When the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, the piezoelectric fiber A is deformed to generate polarization. The influence of the arrangement of the positive and negative charges generated by the polarization of the piezoelectric fiber A causes the movement of the electric charge on the drawing line from the output terminal of the conductive fiber B forming the core portion 203 of the braided piezoelectric element 201. On the pull-out line from the conductive fiber B, a slight electrical signal (i.e., current or potential difference) appears in the movement of the electric charge. That is, in response to the electric charge generated when the braided piezoelectric element 201 is deformed, the amplifying means 113 that outputs an electric signal from the output terminal amplifies the electric signal, and the output means 114 outputs the electric signal amplified by the amplifying means 113. Since the polarity, amplitude, phase, and the like of the electric signal output from the output means 114 are different by the type of deformation of the braided piezoelectric element 201, the polarity, amplitude, phase, and the like of the electric signal output from the output means 114 are used. The results obtained by the comparison are compared to determine the complex deformation of the torsion and the like. [0289] By connecting the braided piezoelectric element and the electronic circuit such as the amplifying means 113 in FIGS. 20 to 22, the braided piezoelectric element and other members (connectors or wires, etc.) are electrically connected, and the braided piezoelectric element is used. It is difficult to connect the components as they are covered by the fabric. Therefore, the braided piezoelectric element is partially exposed from the fabric, and in the exposed portion, the conductive fibers and/or the conductive layer of the braided piezoelectric element are electrically connected to other members. The exposed portion is preferably 2 mm or more and 100 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm or more and 50 mm or less, and more preferably 10 mm or more and 30 mm or less, from the viewpoint of the ease of connection work and the balance of performance. [0290] After the provision of the exposed portion to the cloth-shaped piezoelectric element, it is necessary to perform partial cutting or the like of the fabric, and it is not preferable because the physical properties of the fabric are damaged, so that the manufacturing of the piezoelectric element is performed. It is preferable to woven and prepare the structure in which the braided piezoelectric element is exposed at a joint with other members. [0291] The device 111 of the present invention has a cloth shape, and has a wide range of applications because of its flexibility. Specific examples of the device 111 of the present invention include a touch panel that is shaped like a hat, a glove, a sock, and the like, which is a garment, a support, a handkerchief, and the like, and is used as a surface pressure sensor for humans or animals. For example, a sensor that bends, twists, and expands and contracts the joint portion in the shape of a glove, a belt, a support, or the like is detected. For example, when it is used in a person, it is possible to use an information collection for an action such as a joint for medical use, an entertainment use, or an interface for moving a lost tissue or a robot. Further, a surface pressure sensor which is a cloth doll or a robot that mimics an animal or a human type, and a sensor that detects bending, twisting, and expansion of the joint portion can be used. Further, a surface pressure sensor or a shape change sensor which is used as a bedding, a sole, a glove, a chair, a dressing, a bag, a flag, or the like as a bed sheet or a pillow, etc. [0292] Further, the device 111 of the present invention It is woven or cloth-like and has flexibility. Therefore, it can be used as a surface pressure sensor or shape change sensor by attaching or covering the surface of all or part of all structures. Moreover, since the device 111 of the present invention can generate a sufficient electrical signal only by rubbing the surface of the piezoelectric element 201, it can be used for a touch sensor-like touch input device or pointing device. Further, since the surface of the object to be measured is wiped by the braided piezoelectric element 201, position information or shape information in the height direction of the object to be measured can be obtained, and thus it can be used for surface shape measurement or the like. [Examples] Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described by way of Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The characteristics of the piezoelectric fiber (piezoelectric structure), the braided piezoelectric element, and the cloth-like piezoelectric element shown in the present embodiment are determined by the following methods. [Piezoelectric fiber] (1) Poly-L-lactic acid crystallinity X Homo : For poly-L-lactic acid crystallinity X Homo It is obtained by analyzing the crystal structure due to wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD). In the wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), an ultrax18 type X-ray diffraction apparatus manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd. was used, and the X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was recorded on the image plate by the penetration method using the following conditions.

HMi . From these values, the degree of crystallization of poly-L-lactic acid is determined according to the following formula (3). Homo . [Formula 3] Poly-L-lactic acid crystallization degree X Homo (%)=ΣI HMi /I Total ×100 (3) In addition, ΣI HMi It is calculated by subtracting the background or amorphous diffuse scattering from the total scattering intensity. (2) poly-L-lactic acid crystal orientation degree A: for the poly-L-lactic acid crystal orientation degree A, in the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by the above wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXD), For the diffraction peak from the poly-L-lactic acid crystal appearing in the vicinity of 2θ = 16.5° in the radial direction, the intensity distribution with respect to the azimuth angle (°) is taken from the total value of the half-value width of the obtained distribution curve. Wi (°) is calculated by the following formula (4). [Formula 4] Poly-L-lactic acid crystal orientation degree A (%) = (360-ΣW i ) ÷ 360 × 100 (4) [0298] (3) Optical purity of polylactic acid: 0.1 g of polylactic acid fiber constituting one of the fabrics (one bundle in the case of multifilament), plus 5 m / liter 1.0 mL of a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and 1.0 mL of methanol were placed in a water bath shaker set at 65 ° C, and the polylactic acid was added to a uniform solution for about 30 minutes, and 0.25 mol was added to the solution for completion of hydrolysis. The ear/liter of sulfuric acid was neutralized to pH 7, 0.1 mL of its decomposition solution was taken and diluted by a high speed liquid chromatography (HPLC) mobile phase solution of 3 mL, and filtered through a membrane filter (0.45 μm). The HPLC solution of the adjusted solution was carried out to quantify the ratio of the L-lactic acid polymer to the D-lactic acid polymer. When the amount of the polylactic acid fiber is less than 0.1 g, the amount of the other solution used is adjusted in accordance with the amount that can be taken, and the concentration of the polylactic acid in the sample solution for HPLC measurement is changed from the above-described equivalent to one-hundredth of a range. [HPLC measurement conditions] Column: Sumitomo Analytical Center Co., Ltd. manufactured "SUMICHIRAL (registered trademark)" OA-5000 (4.6 mm φ × 150 mm) Mobile phase: 1.0 mmol/L liter of copper sulfate aqueous solution Mobile phase flow: 1.0 ml / Minute detector: UV detector (wavelength 254 nm) Injection amount: 100 μl The peak area from the L lactic acid polymer is set to S LLA , the peak area from the D-lactic acid polymer is set to S DLA Time, due to S LLA And S DLA Molar concentration M with L-lactic acid polymer LLA And the molar concentration of D-lactic acid polymer M DLA Proportional, so will S LLA And S DLA The value of the middle one is set to S MLA The optical purity is calculated by the following formula (5). [Formula 5] Optical purity (%) = S MLA ÷(S LLA +S DLA ) × 100 (5) [0299] [Wrapped Piezoelectric Element] (4) Pull-out strength In the case where a braided piezoelectric element is exposed from a cloth-like piezoelectric element, a tensile tester (Orientec shares) Co., Ltd. manufactured a universal testing machine "Tensilon RTC-1225A") to hold the exposed braided piezoelectric element, and cut the braided pressure at a portion 5 cm away from the fixed end of the braided piezoelectric element on the gripping side. Electrical components and cloth-like piezoelectric components. The braided piezoelectric element is fixed to a portion of the 5 cm portion of the fabric except for a region within 1 mm from the braided piezoelectric element, and the workpiece is held in a U-shape by 5 cm in the longitudinal direction of the braided piezoelectric element. It is controlled and connected to the other side of the holding workpiece of the tensile testing machine. In this state, the tensile test was performed at a speed of 10 mm/min, and the maximum strength was measured, and the pull-out strength was measured. In the case where the braided piezoelectric element is not sufficiently exposed from the cloth-like piezoelectric element, one of the fabrics (a portion other than the braided piezoelectric element) is cut to expose the braided piezoelectric element, and the above-described manner is performed. measuring. In addition, when it is difficult to ensure that the length of the portion in which the braided piezoelectric element is fixed to the fabric is 5 cm, the pull-out strength is measured at a fixed portion of an arbitrary length, and the strength may be converted into a strength of 5 cm. (5) Covering at any three points of the braided piezoelectric element in the cloth-like piezoelectric element, the photographs of the six photographs taken by the microscope from both sides of the front and back are covered with respect to the weave. The ratio of the area calculated from the product of the width of the braid and the length of the observation portion to the area calculated from the product of the width of the braid and the length of the observation portion is calculated as the ratio of the area of the portion where the surface of the braid is exposed and visible. The value obtained by subtracting the ratio from % is set as the coverage ratio, and the average value of the three photos on the surface is set as the coverage ratio (table), and the average value of the three photos on the back surface is set as the coverage ratio (back). (6) Measurement of the electric signal The piezoelectric element is connected to the electric conductor of the piezoelectric element via a coaxial cable (core: Hi pole, shield: Lo pole) via a coaxial cable (core: B2987A) The current value was measured at intervals of 50 m seconds while performing the following bending operation. (6-1) The bending test uses two clamps having an upper portion and a lower portion, and the lower clamp is fixed to a rail that operates only in the vertical direction, and is always loaded with a load of 0.5 N in the downward direction. The upper clamp is located above 72mm of the lower clamp, and the upper clamp moves on a hypothetical circumference where the line connecting the two clamps is set to a diameter, and the diameter from the center of the hypothetical circle to the left and right 16mm is 15mm. The circle is fixed as two cylinders of the profile (a flat woven fabric composed of 50 yarns on the side), and a piezoelectric element is fixed between the two cylinders, and the two cylinders are used. The fulcrum is subjected to a bending deformation test device, and the cloth-like piezoelectric element is held by the upper and lower jigs in a manner of holding the braided piezoelectric element in the upper and lower jigs, and the upper jig is set on the hypothetical circumference. When the lower jig is set to the position of 6 o'clock, the position of the upper jig is repeated 10 times from the position of 12 o'clock through the position of 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock on the hypothetical circumference, and the flower is taken at a certain speed. After moving to the position of 3 o'clock in 0.9 seconds, it takes 1.8 seconds to move to the position of 9 o'clock through the position of 12 o'clock. Again, it takes 0.9 seconds to return to the 12 o'clock position to perform the reciprocating bending motion, and the current between the two is measured. The value is taken as the peak value of the current value between the position moved from the 12 o'clock position to the 3 o'clock position, and the average value of the round trip motion is used as the value of the signal. (7) Appearance of the braided piezoelectric element After performing a bending test of 1000 times (6-1), the braided piezoelectric element in the cloth-like piezoelectric element was pulled out, and the surface of the outer conductive layer was observed with a microscope. Silver plated peeling off. Those who are completely invisible to the exfoliation are considered to be qualified, and some are considered to be qualified, and those who frequently see the exfoliation are set as unqualified. [Woven piezoelectric element] (8) The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis The alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is calculated by the following formula. However, Rm=2 (Ro 3 -Ri 3 ) /3 (Ro 2 -Ri 2 ), that is, the radius of the braided piezoelectric element (or other structure) weighted by the cross-sectional area. The outer peripheral radius Ro and the inner radius Ri of the spiral pitch HP and the braided piezoelectric element (or other structure) are measured as follows. (8-1) In the case of a braided piezoelectric element (when the coating is performed other than the piezoelectric polymer of the braided piezoelectric element, the coating can be removed from the side as required) In the photograph of the side of the electrophotographic polymer, the helical pitch HP (μm) of the piezoelectric polymer was measured at five arbitrary positions as shown in FIG. 3, and the average value was obtained. In addition, the low-viscosity instant bonding agent "Aron Alpha EXTRA2000" (East Asian Synthetic) is dyed into a braided piezoelectric element and solidified, and then a cross section perpendicular to the long axis of the weaving is cut out to take a photograph of the cross section. In the cross-sectional photograph, the outer radius Ro (μm) and the inner radius Ri (μm) of the portion occupied by the braided piezoelectric element were measured as described later, and the same measurement was performed on another arbitrary cross section 5 to obtain an average value. When the piezoelectric polymer and the insulating polymer are simultaneously incorporated, for example, when a piezoelectric fiber or an insulating fiber is used, or four fibers of 8 strands are piezoelectric polymers, When the remaining four fibers are in the form of an insulating polymer, when the cross section is obtained at various positions, the region in which the piezoelectric polymer is present and the region in which the insulating polymer is present alternate with each other, so that the piezoelectricity is high. The region of the molecule and the region where the insulating polymer is present together are regarded as a portion occupied by the braided piezoelectric element. However, the portion in which the insulating polymer and the piezoelectric polymer are not incorporated at the same time is not considered to be a part of the braided piezoelectric element. For the outer radius Ro and the inner radius Ri, the measurement was performed as follows. As shown in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 9A, the region occupied by the piezoelectric structure (the sheath portion 2 formed of the piezoelectric fiber A) (hereinafter referred to as PSA) is defined, and the central portion of the PSA is not the PSA. The area (described later as CA). The average diameter of the smallest perfect circle that is located on the outer side of the PSA, which does not overlap with the PSA, and the diameter of the largest perfect circle that does not pass through the outside of the PSA (even if CA passes) are set to Ro (Fig. 9B). Further, the average value of the diameter of the smallest perfect circle which is not located outside the CA, and the diameter of the largest perfect circle which does not pass through the CA is set to Ri (Fig. 9C). (8-2) In the case of a core-spun yarn-shaped piezoelectric element, the winding speed at the time of winding the piezoelectric polymer core is T times/m (the piezoelectric polymer per unit length of the core yarn) When the number of rotations is), the pitch of the spiral becomes HP (μm) = 1000000 / T. In addition, the low-viscosity instant bonding agent "Aron Alpha EXTRA2000" (East Asian Synthetic) is dyed into a core-spun yarn-shaped piezoelectric element, and after solidification, a cross section perpendicular to the long axis of the weaving is cut out, and a photograph of the cross-section is taken. A cross-sectional photograph is measured in the same manner as in the case of a braided piezoelectric element, and the outer radius Ro (μm) and the inner radius Ri (μm) of the portion occupied by the core-spun piezoelectric element are measured, and the same measurement is performed for another arbitrary The measurement was performed at section 5, and the average value was obtained. When the piezoelectric polymer and the insulating polymer are simultaneously coated, for example, when the piezoelectric fiber and the insulating fiber are coated, or the piezoelectric fiber and the insulating fiber are simultaneously packaged When the cross-section is not overlapped, when the cross-section is obtained at various positions, the region in which the piezoelectric polymer is present and the region in which the insulating polymer is present alternate with each other, so that the region of the piezoelectric polymer exists and there is insulation. The regions of the polymer are collectively considered to be part of the core-spun piezoelectric element. However, when the insulating polymer and the piezoelectric polymer are not coated at the same time, even if any cross section is taken, the insulating polymer is always located inside or outside the piezoelectric polymer, and is not regarded as a package. One part of the core-shaped piezoelectric element. (9) Measurement of the electric signal The piezoelectric element is connected to the electric conductor of the piezoelectric element via a coaxial cable (core: Hi pole, shield: Lo pole) via a coaxial cable (core: B2987A). The current value was measured at intervals of 50 m seconds while performing the operation test of any of the following 9-1 to 5. (9-1) Tensile test Using a universal testing machine "Tensilon RTC-1225A" manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd., the piezoelectric element was grasped by a jig at intervals of 12 cm in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric element, and the element was loosened. The state was set to 0.0 N, the displacement was set to 0 mm in a state of stretching to a tension of 0.5 N, and the film was stretched to 1.2 mm at an operating speed of 100 mm/min, and repeated 10 times to 0 mm to -100 mm/min. The action of the motion speed return. (9-2) Torsing test In the two clamps that hold the piezoelectric element, one of the clamps is placed on a rail that is free to move in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric element without performing a twisting operation, and is always pressed. The electric component is in a state of applying a tension of 0.5 N, and the other jig is designed to be a torsion test device that does not operate in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric element and is twisted, and is interposed between 72 mm in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element is grasped by the clamps, and the clamp is viewed from the center of the element in a clockwise twisting manner, and is repeated 10 times at a speed of 100°/s from 0° to 45°, at a speed of -100°/s. Round-trip twisting from 45° to 0°. (9-3) The bending test uses two clamps with upper and lower parts. The lower clamp is fixed. The upper clamp is located above 72mm of the lower clamp. The upper clamp is set to the assumed circumference of the line connecting the two clamps. In the test device that moves up, the piezoelectric element is held by the jig and fixed. When the upper jig is set to 12 o'clock on the circumference and the lower jig is set to 6 o'clock, the pressure is applied. After the electric component is slightly deflected into a convex state at the 9 o'clock direction, the upper jig is repeated 10 times from the position of 12 o'clock through the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions on the circumference, and the movement is performed at a constant speed for 0.9 seconds to 3 After the position of the point, it takes 0.9 seconds to move to the round-trip bending action at the position of 12 o'clock. (9-4) Shear test The length of the central portion of the piezoelectric element is sandwiched from the upper and lower sides by sandwiching the straight metal plate of the plain woven fabric woven with the cotton yarn of 50 yarn counts on the surface. (The lower metal plate is fixed to the base), a vertical load of 3.2 N is applied from above, and the upper metal plate is applied 10 times in a state where the cotton cloth and the piezoelectric element which maintain the surface of the metal plate are not slid. After a load of 0 N to 1 N was applied to the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric element, a shearing operation of returning the tensile load to 0 N was applied for 1 second. (9-5) The pushing test was performed using the universal testing machine "Tensilon RTC-1225A" manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd.), and the length of the central portion of the piezoelectric element on the straight and straight metal table was 64 mm.

In the carrier, the four carriers are placed on the Z-direction and the four carriers are placed in the S-direction, and are woven, whereby the piezoelectric fiber PF1 is spirally wound around the core yarn.

(Example AB) The braided piezoelectric element 1-AA is used as a core yarn, and the conductive fiber CF2 is placed in eight carriers of a braiding machine, and is incorporated into four carriers of the Z direction and is incorporated into the S carrier. All of the four carriers are woven, and the elements around the braided piezoelectric element 1-AA are covered with conductive fibers to form a braided piezoelectric element 1-AB.

(Example AF) CF1 was used as the core yarn, and PF1 was wound around the core yarn at a number of times of 3,000 times/m in the S direction, and on the outside, PF1 was further 3,000 times/ The number of times of coating of m is wound in the Z direction, and on the outside, CF2 is further wound in the S direction at the number of times of coating of 3000 times/m, and on the outside, CF2 is further made 3000 times/m. The number of times of coating is wound in the Z direction, and the piezoelectric fiber PF1 is spirally wound around the Z-direction and the S-direction in the spiral direction, and the outer core-spun yarn-like piezoelectric body is covered with the conductive fiber. Element 1-AF. (Example AG) CF1 was used as the core yarn, and PF1 was wound around the core yarn at the number of times of coating of 6000 times/m in the S direction, and on the outside, PF1 was further 6000 times/ The number of times of coating of m is wound in the Z direction, and on the outside, CF2 is further wound in the S direction at the number of times of coating of 3000 times/m, and on the outside, CF2 is further made 3000 times/m. The number of times of coating is wound in the Z direction, and the piezoelectric fiber PF1 is spirally wound around the Z-direction and the S-direction in the spiral direction, and the outer core-spun yarn-like piezoelectric body is covered with the conductive fiber. Element 1-AG. (Example AH) A braided piezoelectric element is produced in the same manner as the braided piezoelectric element 1-AA except that IF1 is used instead of PF1, and the braided element is used as a core yarn to fabricate a braided piezoelectric element. 1-AB is also an element covered with conductive fibers, and becomes a braided element 1-AH. (Example AI) A core-spun yarn-like element is formed as a core-spun yarn-like element 1-AI, except that IF1 is used instead of PF1. (Examples AJ, AK) In addition to changing the winding speed of PF1 or PF2, two braided piezoelectric elements are formed in the same manner as the braided piezoelectric elements 1-AB and 1-AC, and the braided pressure is obtained. Electrical components 1-AJ and 1-AK. (Example AL) A braided piezoelectric element 1-AL was produced in the same manner as the braided piezoelectric element 1-AB except that IF1 was used instead of the PF1 wound in the S direction. (Example AM) A braided piezoelectric element 1-AM was produced in the same manner as the braided piezoelectric element 1-AC except that IF2 was used instead of the PF2 wound in the Z direction. (Example AN) A core-spun yarn-like piezoelectric element 1-AN was produced in the same manner as the core-spun yarn-shaped piezoelectric element 1-AF except that IF1 was used instead of the PF1 wound in the Z-direction. The Ri, Ro, and HP of each piezoelectric element were measured, and the values of the calculated alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis and the value of T1/T2 are shown in Table 2. In the braided piezoelectric element, Ri and Ro are measured together as a region occupied by the piezoelectric element in a region where the piezoelectric fiber and the insulating fiber are present in the cross section. In the core-spun yarn-shaped piezoelectric element, Ri and Ro are measured in a region where piezoelectric fibers are present in a cross section as a region occupied by the piezoelectric element. Further, each piezoelectric element was cut into a length of 15 cm, the conductive fiber of the core was set to a Hi-pole, and the conductive mesh of the metal mesh or the sheath portion around the shield was set to a Lo pole and connected to a potentiometer (Keysight) Society B2987A), monitors the current value. Table 2 shows the current values at the time of the tensile test, the torsion test, the bending test, the shear test, and the pressing test. Further, since the examples AH and AI do not contain a piezoelectric polymer, the values of θ and T1/T2 cannot be measured. [0327] From the results of Table 2, it is understood that when the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is more than 40° and less than 50°, a large signal is generated with respect to the twisting operation (torsional deformation). On the other hand, when the alignment angle θ of the piezoelectric polymer in the direction of the central axis is 0° or more and 40° or less or 50° or more and 90° or less, a large signal is generated with respect to the twisting operation (torsion deformation). Further, as in the case of AA to AG, when the value of T1/T2 exceeds 0.8 and is 1.0 or less, a large signal is generated with respect to the twisting operation (torsion deformation), and a large signal is not generated in the operation other than the torsion. An element that selectively responds to a twisting action. Further, in the comparative examples AA to AE, AL and AM, and the examples AF, AG, and AN, it is understood that the torsion test is performed when θ is 0° or more and 40° or less, and when θ is 50° or more and 90° or less. The polarity of the signal is reversed, and θ corresponds to the polarity of the signal during the torsion test. [0329] Moreover, although there is no display in the table, when the components of the examples AA to AG and AL to AN are compared, the signal when the twist is applied to the S direction and the signal when the twist is applied to the Z direction are compared. It can be seen that these elements are suitable for the quantification of the load or displacement due to the generation of signals whose polarities are opposite to each other and whose absolute values are approximately the same. In addition, when the components of the example AJ and the example AK are compared with the signal when the twist is applied to the S direction, and the signal when the twist is applied to the Z direction, it is known that the same situation occurs when the polarities are opposite to each other. Therefore, these components are not suitable for the quantification of the load or displacement. Furthermore, although there is no display in the table, the noise level in the torsion test of Example AB is lower than that in the torsion test of Example AA, and it is known that the braided piezoelectric element (piezoelectric structure) On the outer side, a conductive layer made of conductive fibers is disposed to be a shielded element, and noise can be reduced. (Example 2) A fabric for a piezoelectric element according to the second invention was produced by the following method. (Production of Polylactic Acid) The polylactic acid used in the examples was produced by the following method. For 100 parts by mass of L-lactide (manufactured by Musashino Chemical Research Institute, 100% optical purity), 0.005 parts by mass of tin octylate was added, and the mixture was stirred at 180 ° C in a reactor equipped with a stirring blade under a nitrogen atmosphere. After reacting for 2 hours, 1.2 times equivalent of phosphoric acid with respect to tin octoate was added, and then the remaining lactide was removed under reduced pressure at 13.3 Pa, and fragmented to obtain poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA1). The obtained PLLA1 had a mass average molecular weight of 152,000, a glass transition point (Tg) of 55 ° C, and a melting point of 175 °C. (Piezoelectric Fiber) PLLA1 melted at 240 ° C was discharged from a 24-hole cap at 22 g/min, and pulled at 1300 m/min.

Further, the melted PLLA1 at 240 ° C was discharged from a 12-hole cap at 8 g/min, and pulled at 1300 m/min. The unstretched multifilament was stretched by 2.0 times at 80 ° C and heat-set at 150 ° C to obtain a piezoelectric fiber A2 of 33 dTex/12 filament. (Electrically Conductive Fiber) Silver-plated nylon manufactured by San Fuji Co., Ltd., product names "AGposs" 100d34f and 30d10f were used as the conductive fiber B, the conductive fiber 6, and the conductive fiber 10. The volume resistivity of the fiber is 1.1×10 -3 Ω·cm. (Knitted Piezoelectric Element) As the sample of Example 2-1, the conductive fiber "AGposs" 100d34f was used as a core yarn, and the piezoelectric fiber A1 was wound around the eight core yarns. In the woven shape, the braided piezoelectric element 1A is formed by braiding the conductive fibers "AGposs" 30d10f around the piezoelectric fibers A1 of the sheath portion in a braided shape to form a shield layer. Here, the winding angle α of the piezoelectric fiber A1 to the fiber axis CL of the conductive fiber B is set to 30°. Further, the d/Rc of the braided piezoelectric element 1A was 1.76. [0334] As the sample of Example 2-2, the conductive fiber "AGposs" 100d34f was used as a core yarn, and the piezoelectric fiber A2 was wound into a braided shape around eight core yarns, and weaved by eight strands. The piezoelectric fiber 2 is wound into another eight braids in another layer above the weave. In addition, the conductive fibers "AGposs" 30d10f are wound into a shield layer around the piezoelectric fibers A2 to form a shield layer, and the braided piezoelectric element 1B is formed. Here, the winding angle α of the piezoelectric fiber A to the fiber axis CL of the conductive fiber B is set to 30°. Further, the d/Rc of the braided piezoelectric element 1B was 1.52. The woven piezoelectric element 1C was formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment except that the piezoelectric fiber A2 was used instead of the piezoelectric fiber A1 of Example 2-1. Further, the d/Rc of the braided piezoelectric element 1C was 0.84.

A zigzag-shaped piezoelectric element was fixed to a plain woven fabric by a zigzag slit (width: 2 mm, pitch: 1 mm) of a polyester yarn of a number of yarns. The braided piezoelectric element 201 in the braided piezoelectric element was measured for the extraction strength and the coverage, and the signal strength of the bending test and the appearance of the outer conductive layer of the braided piezoelectric element after the bending test were confirmed.
