[embodiment]
See also Fig. 1, be the circuit diagram of the embodiment of touch type inductor.This touch type inductor comprises a differential signal source 11, two electric conductors 12, an inductor 13, a signal source 14, one first load circuit 18, one second load circuit 19, a gate circuit 15, a detector 16 and signal processing circuits 17, wherein, in the present embodiment, this first load circuit 18 can be made of a capacitor C and one first resistance R 1, and this second load circuit 19 can be made of one second resistance R 2.One of them is connected the positive and negative polarities of this differential signal source 11 with this two electric conductors 12 respectively; This inductor 13 is between these two electric conductors 12, constitute two electric capacity with these two electric conductors 12, this signal source 14 has two input ends, wherein an input end connects this second resistance R 2, this second resistance R 2 is connected to one of this gate circuit 15 input end jointly with this inductor, another input end of this signal source 14 connects this first resistance R 1, this first resistance R 1 and this capacitor C are connected to another input end of this gate circuit 15 jointly, one of this capacitor C end ground connection, the output terminal of this gate circuit 15 connects the input end of this detector 16, and the output terminal of this detector 16 connects this signal processing circuit 17.
This differential signal source 11 is used to produce two frequencies and equates, the AC signal that phase place is opposite, when the noise in the surrounding environment acts on the above-mentioned electric capacity that is made of this differential signal source 11 and these two electric conductors, because these two electric conductors 12 link to each other with the both positive and negative polarity of this differential signal source 11 respectively, then the noise in the surrounding environment is cancelled out each other, reduce of the influence of surrounding environment noise to circuit, two input ends of this signal source 14 connect two load circuits respectively, can be these two load circuits provides the signal of identical size and direction, scalable first resistance R 1, the size of second resistance R 2 and capacitor C, make that the input signal of 15 two input ends of this gate circuit is identical, this gate circuit 15 is when the input signal of two input end is identical, it is output as one first state, at the input signal of two input end not simultaneously, it is output as one second state.What this gate circuit 15 adopted in the present embodiment is XOR gate, be that input signal is when identical, it is output as low level, at input signal not simultaneously, it is output as high level, at object (as finger) when touching this inductor 13, these inductor 13 sense objects with noise, the input end input signal of this gate circuit 15 that links to each other with this inductor 13 is postponed, make the input signal of two input end no longer identical, thereby cause the variation of the output pulse of this gate circuit, concrete pulse change sees also Fig. 2, detector 16 detects this variation, gets final product the touch of judgment object, and 17 pairs of these signals of signal processing circuit are handled to realize control corresponding, wherein, the object touch inductor can directly touch, also can be across other objects, as insulants such as plastic plates.
See also Fig. 2, touch the pulse change figure of these induction installation input and output of front and back for the embodiment of touch type inductor at object.As shown, pulse A and pulse B are the pulse diagram of the input signal of two input ends of this gate circuit 15 before object touches, the size of these two signals, direction is all identical, pulse C is the pulse diagram of the output terminal output signal of this gate circuit 15, what adopt in the present embodiment is XOR gate, characteristic according to this XOR gate, be that input signal is identical, be output as low level, the input signal difference is output as high level, then can be output as low level by this gate circuit 15, and this detector 16 is every the time detecting of two/one-period of this signal source 14 signal that the produces output terminal of this gate circuit 15 once, if this gate circuit 15 of detecting is output as low level, then the signal of this detector 15 also is low, if this gate circuit 15 is output as high level, then the output signal of this detector 16 also is a high level, when object does not touch, the output of this gate circuit 15 is in low level state always, and then the signal of this detector 16 also is a low level state, specifically shown in pulsed D.
When object touches this inductor 13, these inductor 13 sense objects with noise, the phase place of the input end input signal that links to each other with this inductor 13 is postponed, shown in pulse B-sense, characteristics according to the XOR gate that adopts in this real mode, input signal is not simultaneously, be output as high level, then the output signal of this gate circuit 15 obtains changing for continuing low level state, if object leaves this inductor 13, then the input signal of two of this gate circuit 15 input ends returns to identical state again, then its output also reverts to low level, specifically shown in pulse C-sense, when this detector 16 has high level to produce at the output terminal that detects this gate circuit 15, then the signal of this detector 16 is set to high level, when object leaves this inductor 13, the detection signal that corresponding this detector 16 is detected also becomes low level with this gate circuit 15, specifically shown in pulsed D-sense, at this, the time that can continue high level according to the output signal of this detector 16 judges that this object touches the time of this induction installation.
