Definitions
- the present invention relates to an analog angular encoder, and more particularly such an encoder of the type comprising a resistive track and a brush associated with this track.
- Known encoders of this type generally include a practically circular resistive track supplied at its ends with direct current and a conductive track concentric with the resistive track, and a brush is rotatably mounted around the center of the tracks and connects two homologous points of each of the tracks. . It is understood that the voltage measured on the conductive track is proportional to the angle between the end of the grounded resistive track and the points connected by the brush.
- Such devices are used for example in systems associating a mechanical part and an electronic part, such as washing machine programmers, in which the processing electronics must be able to know economically, by direct reading, the angular position of a rotary axis with a given precision, ranging, for example, from 10 to 68 positions per revolution.
- direct reading is meant the possibility of recognizing the position of the axis in a fraction of a second, which excludes systems operating by incremental reading, that is to say by adding increments from an original position .
- a medium quality potentiometer and a microcontroller equipped with an analog / digital converter each supplied under the same voltage, 5 volts for example, achieves the desired result.
- the response curve of the potentiometer is not linear, that is to say that, if we draw the response graph of the cursor (with the rotation on the abscissa and the potential of the cursor on the ordinate) ), the curve obtained is not sufficiently straight to allow a one-to-one correlation to be established between the tension obtained and the angular position of the axis.
- the other difficulty lies in the rigorous mechanical non-positioning of the axis on its fundamental positions.
- Another solution would consist in using a potentiometer having a sufficient linearity so that the microcontroller associates without error the tension noted on the cursor and the angular position of the axis. But, even in this case, there may be an error due to an insufficient quality of the positioning of the axis on its fundamental position, that is to say that in fact the axis is stopped between two fundamental positions .
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- the subject of the invention is an analog angular encoder of the type comprising a resistive track and a brush associated with this resistive track, characterized in that it comprises means for bringing the first and second ends of the track resistive to a first and a second potential respectively, means for bringing another point of the track resistive to a third potential, means for modulating at least said first or second potential, said third potential being fixed, and means for reading the potential of the point of the resistive track in contact with the brush.
- one of said first or second potentials is fixed.
- At least one of said first or second potentials is modulated in slots. Also in a particular embodiment of the invention, said other point is substantially in the middle of the resistive track.
- the encoder according to the invention can comprise a conductive track concentric with the resistive track, the brush connecting a point of the resistive track to the conductive track, and the potential of the point of the resistive track in contact with the brush being read on the conductive track.
- FIG. 1 shows an encoder comprising, in a known manner, a resistive track 1.
- the track 1 is here formed of a set of discrete resistors 2, the interconnections 3 of which are connected to pads 4 for taking the voltage. This track could however also be carried out continuously, for example by screen printing, the voltage then being taken directly from the track.
- a conductive track 5 is produced concentrically with track 1.
- the midpoint 7 of the resistive track 1 is connected to the supply voltage V 0 by a line 8.
- One of the ends 9 of the track 1 is connected to ground by a line 10. Its other end 11 is connected to an alternating voltage, here the sector 12, by means of a switch 13.
- the switch 13 is in the present case made up of a transistor whose collector is connected to point 11, whose emitter is connected to ground, and whose base is connected to the sector by means of a resistor 14 .
- the conductive track 5 is connected by a line 15 to the analog input of a microcontroller 16.
- the switch 13 is not permanently closed since the base of the transistor is alternately brought to positive and then negative voltages. The transistor is therefore alternately saturated and then blocked.
- the voltage u g read on the studs located, in FIG. 1, to the left of the midpoint 7, is modulated in slots as shown in 18 in FIG. 2. Consequently, the microcontroller will be able to recognize on which half of the resistive track is the brush 6 by the shape of the tension recorded on track 5.
