Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for identifying a radio-controlled driving toy, as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Radio remote control driving toys have been used increasingly recently.
  • the remote control systems have been improved more and more so that for the relevant functions, in particular steering and for the speed forward and backward, the steering processes similar to the model can be reproduced. Both the steering and the speed can be regulated proportionally in many cases.
  • a counting device for car racing tracks has been proposed, through which a variety of driving results can be recorded. It is the number of laps that the vehicles involved completed. The number of laps can be specified so that the device switches off the entire system after the number of laps has been reached. A time race can be carried out, the system being switched off after the time has elapsed. It can always be determined which of the vehicles involved has placed first or second.
  • the application is not only possible for two, but also for three or four vehicles. It is also possible to record the smallest lap time so that it can be determined in each case which vehicle has set a lap record. It is also possible to read the speed and the maximum speed of the different vehicles.
  • Patent application 2939703 proposes a device in which certain driving conditions are prescribed. These are, for example, speed limits or no overtaking.
  • the device monitors compliance with the driving regulations, with penalty points being recorded in the event of violations via a registration device.
  • radio-remote-controlled driving toys equipped according to the invention can not only be used freely, but also on predetermined tracks.
  • a recognition strip which consists of an insulating carrier material, for example plastic film, metal foil being fixed onto both sides of this carrier material at certain points. Segments can be provided on the outside, which are connected to a power supply and which are routed outside in a Faraday cage. The current leads can already be combined in the Faraday cage or outside of it. In this case, only registration when driving over a certain vehicle is possible.
  • a central area of the detection strip is defined as the center, for example, as with a target. There is a maximum number of good points. The number of good points is correspondingly reduced for the areas following from this central area to the outside.
  • the production of the prescribed identification strip is very simple and economical.
  • the carrier foil used which is coated on both sides with metal foil, is placed on top of each other by two folds so that an interior is created as a Faraday cage, while the part to be traveled on is equipped with segments.
  • the electrical connection of the segments to the current guides in the interior of the Faraday cage can be established by inserting eyelets or by a soldered connection or otherwise.
  • the present recognition is preferably used to determine whether a vehicle has been run over and to "recognize" the vehicle. In this way it is possible to control a lap counter.
  • a counting device according to patent application 2833159 can also be used, so that in the present case all the possibilities available with this device at racecourses are also available in radio-controlled vehicles.
  • the speed of the vehicle can also be determined by arranging a generator on the drive axle or also on the transmission which generates a frequency corresponding to the number of revolutions. This frequency signal can be picked up by the interrogation device and converted into a speed display in the evaluation circuit.
  • the vehicle would if g when passing over the Erkennun would sstMails fire a shot that hit the target. It is possible to evaluate this point of view and, if the task is solved correctly, to distribute good points that are registered separately from meters according to vehicles.
  • the game process can then be as Gan g sterjagd, as a war game or as a maneuver of military vehicles with target shooting be drawn.
  • identification strip not only to record that a certain vehicle is traveling on it.
  • a specific driving condition can be identified by means of one or more additional features, for example additional lamps on the vehicle floor. This is an off and on process, for example switching the lights on or off, switching on a horn at a certain point.
  • Strength in the F. 1, 2, and 3 becomes an identification strip shown. It consists of a tear film 4 on which metallization is applied on both sides. On the first side 41 of the carrier film 4, individual contact segments 31 are formed from the metallization in a first section 43, in an adjacent section 44 connecting tracks 46 for these contact segments 31, while the third section 45 is metal-free. The entire side of the second side 42 of the carrier film 4 is covered with a metal layer 421, with the exception of eyelet-shaped cutouts 47 in the region of the conductor track ends 49 (cf. FIG. 3).
  • the contact segments 31 made of electrically conductive material are applied to the film.
  • conductor tracks 46 on the same side, which are likewise constructed from a metal layer. At one end 49 of the conductor tracks 46 they merge into eyelet-shaped mounts 491.
  • the film 4 is provided with a hole in the middle of the eyelet-shaped border 491.
  • the other end of the conductor track 46 is constructed as a plug connection 48 that a circuit board edge connector is inserted there. can, so that the impulses can be passed on.
  • the detection strip made of paper or carrier film 4 is now placed one above the other through the fold 405-406.
  • the detection strip according to Figure 1 is completely covered with electrically conductive material.
  • the eyelet-shaped borders 491 can be seen.
  • the bores 411 present in the contact segments 31 are likewise provided with eyelet-shaped recesses 412 on the side according to FIG.
  • the three parts of the identification strip 43, 44, 45 are now one above the other by the folds 405-406 brought.
  • the electrical connection from the contact segments 31 located on the top side to the current conductors' is established by inserting 73 rivets 422 or another conductive connection.
  • the rivet can also be designed so that it is electrically conductive on the top and bottom, but not on the side flank.
  • a sleeve made of non-conductive material can be pushed over an eyelet made of metal.
  • the metal covering in the area of the contact segment 31 is then connected to the eyelet-shaped casing 491, which is connected to a current lead 46, without an electrically conductive connection being made to the metal coating on the side according to FIG. 1.
  • the eyelet-shaped recess 47 a.412 can thus be omitted.
  • Figure 2 shows the identification strip in a loosely folded form connected by pins (not shown). A connection of the individual. NEN parts 43, 44, 45 can be produced by a strip or by welding.
  • motor interference pulses reach the corresponding AC voltage amplifier, are amplified here and finally rectified and integrated so that a pulse can be taken for further evaluation (e.g. points).
  • the contact segments 31 are connected to voltage divider resistors 34.
  • Parallel to the voltage divider resistors 34 are, for example, differential amplifiers 39, which then supply an output pulse when two adjacent contact segments 31 are short-circuited to one another by the grinder 21 of the vehicle.
  • a short-circuiting contact surfaces slaughterer'benachbarter ensured by the slider 21, the contact segments 31 (cf. F. Ig. 5) are diamond shaped.
  • a further possibility for identifying a driving toy is that the oscillator frequency of the remote control of the respective driving toy is placed on a contact brush or the like. is given and is transferred to a contact surface 31 when the vehicle is passed over it. A signal then occurs between the contact surface 31 and ground potential or a frame 301 surrounding the contact surface 31, which signal is recorded and processed in a selective detector 76 (cf. FIG. 6).
  • the oscillator frequency can be given to the contact brush, for example, in that between the receiving antenna of the toy vehicle and the Contact brush an active filter is connected, which filters out the vehicle-typical oscillator frequency from the antenna signal, amplifies it and passes it on to the contact brush. This filter then represents the generator for the vehicle-typical frequency.
  • Every vehicle involved in driving is one. Assigned to the receiving channel, so that when driving over the surface at the output of the multi-channel receiver, a pulse for further processing such as Lap numbers, .speed measurement, allocation of penalty points, etc. can be removed.
  • the surrounding frame 301 also serves to shield the contact surface 31 from external signals.
  • the signal generated in the generator 72 is fed to a coil 73 attached to the vehicle floor (FIG. 7).
  • the interrogation device has a reception coil 71 which receives the signal when the vehicle is passed over and forwards it to the evaluation circuit.
  • This reception coil 71 can also be in the form of a layered conductor track
  • the evaluation circuit is constructed in accordance with the circuit already described for FIG.
  • a vehicle drives over the induction loop, it generates a voltage in it with the vehicle's own frequency. This is selectively amplified again in the multi-channel receiving part 76, rectified and amplified again and the output is again at the pulse assigned to the corresponding vehicle.
  • a resonance circuit with a resonance frequency typical of the vehicle is installed in the vehicle, i.e. 7 is replaced by a reactance 75 and the oscillator is connected to the coil 71 (FIG. 8).
  • FIG. 9 shows such a detection with detection of vehicles by means of active induction loop 71.
  • This induction loop 71 can again be designed as a thin film with Cu tracks.
  • the dimension a is the lane width.
  • Different frequencies are generated in the generators 721-725 and, for example, fed together to the induction loop 71 via resistors.
  • the resonance circuit 76 sucks the energy out of the induction loop at the same frequency.
  • a multi-channel detector device 76 is connected to the induction loop 71. This consists of selective amplifiers with subsequent rectification and a subsequent AC voltage amplifier.
  • the individual voltages of different frequencies with normal amplitude are at the selective amplifiers and thus also a corresponding DC voltage signal after the rectification. If a vehicle now drives over the induction loop, the amplitude of the vehicle-specific frequency decreases, while the amplitudes of the other frequencies remain unchanged. The DC voltage after rectification is reduced. This DC voltage change is amplified so strongly that at the end pending input for further evaluation. The value of the capacitor 77 can be switched or exchanged, so that it is always ensured that the vehicles have different resonance frequencies.
  • the grinder 21 is designed here as a double contact insulated from one another. With the tension spring 29 it is normally held up so that there is no contact with the ground and therefore it cannot wear out. Inside the double contact, a permanent magnet 28 is attached so that it passes over the scanning point. is pulled downwards, since the scanning point itself or its immediate vicinity has soft magnetic material, for example sheet steel. Simultaneously with the magnet 28, the double contact is also pressed onto the scanning point and thus the vehicle-specific AC voltage present at the double contact is transmitted. The AC voltage is generated in generator 72. A sheet metal strip 17 is also mounted immediately in front of the actual scanning point, which ensures that the magnet 28 pulls the double contact downwards in good time, so that contacting at the scanning point is ensured.
  • the transmitted vehicle signal is processed as already described.
  • the magnet can of course also be installed in the location to be driven over and that a soft iron part can be attached to the sliding contact. The way it works is the same.
  • an electromagnet can be used instead of a permanent magnet.
  • a magnetic switch e.g. a reed contact, actuated and a signal generated or interrupted in this way.
  • the finish line consists of two parallel contact rows 32, 33.
  • the left row of contacts 32 is connected to a pole of a constant voltage source 36 via resistors 34, which all have the same value.
  • the right row of contacts 33 is divided into individual groups.
  • the individual contacts 312 of these groups are electrically short-circuited to one another and are supplied to individual peak voltage voltmeters 37.
  • the resistors 35 are the measuring resistors.
  • Contact disks 21 with different diameters are attached to the underside of the various vehicles (FIG. 1.2). If contact disks are used, it is advantageous to use contact brushes as roadway contacts in the roadway. Instead of contact disks, individual contacts 211, 212 can also be attached, which are conductively connected to one another (FIG. 13).
  • the diameters of the contact disks are always chosen so that, for example, the following bridges take place when a vehicle passes the contact point.
  • the peak voltage meter 37 has an evaluation circuit 5 at its output, so that a specific measured peak voltage results in an output pulse on the output lines A, B, C or D.
  • the right lane contacts 312 are divided into groups. This prevents two vehicles from simultaneously applying voltage to one and the same peak voltage meter 37, which would lead to incorrect detection.
  • the disc diameter was chosen so that
  • the table shows all combinations when two, three or four vehicles cross the scan line at the same time.
  • the table shows that with every possible combination of vehicles traveling individually or in parallel across the finish line, a different voltage value is set at resistor 35. Conversely, if a certain voltage value is set at the resistor, the evaluation circuit 5 can immediately determine after the peak voltmeter 37 how much and which vehicles have crossed the finish line at the same time and passes this knowledge on to the output lines ABCD.
  • bit patterns typical of the vehicle result when the scanning line is passed at the outputs of the differential amplifiers.
  • the evaluation for an example case is now described in which the vehicle A has a contact disk with a diameter such that — depending on the position of the contact disk between the roadway contacts — at least 2 and a maximum of 3 road contacts are bridged, and a vehicle B with a contact disk in which at least 4 maximum 5 road contacts are bridged.

  • the decoding circuit 51 is constructed in such a way that bit patterns mentioned above can be interrogated on respectively adjacent input conductors.
  • 16 shows a circuit extract of the internal wiring for the bit pattern L H H L in the upper part, for the bit pattern L H L in the lower part.
  • Fig. 17 the evaluation for 4 adjacent input lines for the bit pattern L H H L is extracted from Fig. 16.
  • the two L lines are inverted and fed to a NAND gate together with the two H lines. This gate only goes low at the output if there are only H signals at its input. This is only the case if an L H H L signal is present on the input lines, as is caused by vehicle A.
  • the output of the NAND gate is connected to the input of a further NAND gate. All output lines of the L H H L evaluations are summarized here. If an L signal occurs on one of these lines, an H signal is fed to the OR gate at the output, which in turn combines the L H H L and L H L evaluation and delivers a counting pulse for vehicle A at output A.

  • Example 1 Vehicle A crosses the contact line
  • Example 2 Vehicle B crosses the contact line
  • the contact disk bridges only two or three contacts when moving in (line 6). This is recognized in the decoding circuit 51 as vehicle A (line 7).
  • the output of the decoding circuit 51 goes from L to H. This LH jump causes no reaction in the A-NOR gate 53, since the input I is already at H. If four road contacts are now bridged by the contact disk, the decoding circuit delivers an H signal to the B line. Since the B line is also connected to the input II of the A-NOR gate 53, the H signal is now at the input II (line 9).
  • the decoding circuit 51 recognizes that no more A vehicle is making contact.
  • the A signal goes from H to L and thus also the input I of the A-NOR gate 53 (line 8).
  • the HL transition cannot set the output of the gate to H, since input II yes lies on H during this time.
  • time delay circuit 52 in FIG. 16 ensures that two A signals in quick succession are not passed on at the output within a certain period of time.
  • the entry funnels described below can be used.
  • the time t xy or t xz is measured, which elapses between the first contact (front middle contact surface) and driving over the rear contact surfaces. Since the distance a is known, the speed v can be calculated:
  • t x y t xz - when the vehicle is running perpendicular to the finish line.
  • the evaluation determines these distances by contacting points X, Y and Z with the rail contacts and can thus calculate the vehicle.
  • the time t m is the time that would elapse if the contacts y and z were replaced by a contact in the middle of the vehicle at a distance a. The speed of the vehicle can thus be calculated with this time.
  • the times t and t are determined when driving over.
  • a further possibility of identifying a driving toy is to attach one or more light sources to the underside of the vehicle, the light of which acts upon sensors 62 and the sensors 61 and triggers signals when the interrogation device is passed there.
  • reflectors can be attached to the vehicle, which reflect light that emanates from the interrogation device and direct it onto sensors 61 in the interrogation device.
