Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement of sensors connected chips in a multi-layer flooring.
- floor coverings provided with sensors and chips can be used to control, for example, autonomously operating suction devices, so-called suction or sweeping robots.
- the first upper layer forms printed conductors, in particular for the positive voltage supply of the chips and / or the sensors, while the third lower layer also forms the electrical ground in a conductive manner.
- the ground connection of the chips with the lower layer can be done in the simplest way on the chip surface. Alternatively, the ground connection can also be made via the first upper layer, while the third lower layer is used for the positive voltage supply.
- the third layer is unconnected to the first and second layers.
- the first and second layers are preferably firmly connected.
- the third layer can be designed as a loose pad, after which the further layers are placed with the ground-side surface of the chips down to contact the ground layer.
- the third layer can be wound up as such, so further in particular can be wound into a coil and, moreover, can also be cut to length.
- the second layer in which the chips are arranged, filling the gaps between the chips, formed as an insulating layer.
- This layer is correspondingly, for example, in the form of an insulating fabric (underlay) with recesses for the chips.
- the height of the insulating layer is adapted to the chip height, is correspondingly about 1 mm to 3 mm, further about 2 mm and consists for example of a polyurethane or polyamide material, further example. Of polypropylene as an insulating, pressure-resistant needle felt.
- the sensors and the printed conductors are arranged in the same plane, namely in the first upper layer.
- the conductor tracks are in this case arranged in a preferred embodiment lattice or strip-like. In the resulting between the tracks free spaces one or more sensors are equally positioned.
- Each strip-shaped VCC conductor track of the first layer is guided towards the edge of the carpet, to form a marginal edge-side contacting surface.
- the signals of the sensors sensitized via the applied carpet are transferred by modulation to the conductor tracks and / or to the lower conductive layer and more preferably detected via the carpet edge edge-side contacting zones.
- the evaluation of the signals of, for example, capacitively operating sensors takes place in the associated chips, which are connected to correspondingly positioned contacts in the sensor plane engaging with the sensors.
- the signals evaluated by the chip are modulated via the ground layer or via the printed conductors to the positive voltage supply to the outside.
- the data transmission is thus preferably on the supply line. Accordingly, no separate lines are required for signal transmission. So can continue the data on the supply lines by means of
- Radio waves are transmitted, like a carrier frequency system or Powerline Communication (PLC).
- the data may be sent by modulating the consumption current through the chips.
- the receiver detects and evaluates the different power consumption.
- a voltage modulation is possible.
- the power supply is in the usual way at a potential of, for example, 5 volts.
- the information is then transmitted by means of modulation between this usual voltage potential and a potential deviating therefrom, for example 6 volts, which deviating potential also ensures the voltage supply of the chip.
- the lower layer is at least on the side facing the middle layer in terms of surface area continuously conductive.
- the bottom layer is preferably insulated.
- the conductor tracks of the upper layer are continuously conductive in terms of surface area on the side facing the middle layer.
- the top layer is not conductive.
- the area of the sensors and the current guide ie the first upper layer, is made watertight or vapor-permeable. Preference is given to a vapor-permeable configuration of the individual layers, so that moisture that has penetrated can escape from the bottom to the top.
- the permeability is achieved by (micro) perforation or a fine hole pattern.
- the inherently non-dimensionally stable middle, insulating fabric layer is stabilized by the upper and lower film-like layers in sandwich manner in order to increase the dimensional stability of the sensor surface.
- Suitable film materials for forming the first upper and third lower layers are, for example, polyesters and polyamides.
- the arrangement is operated in the range of the safety extra-low voltage, that is to say below 50 volts, so further preferably with a voltage of 5 to 24 volts.
- the sensors used are capacitive, movement-sensing or temperature-dependent sensors.
- a non-contact measurement by means of electromagnetic fields, so on, for example, using appropriately designed chips or ICs (integrated circuit on board bonded, customized ICs), which areas of, for example, 1 mm 2 to 1 cm 2 detected could be.
- two to eight, preferably four sensors are provided per chip, each sensor covering an area of 10 cm ⁇ 10 cm up to 50 cm ⁇ 50 cm.
- more preferably four to ten sensors or one to twenty-five chips are positioned in the arrangement per square meter.
- FIG. 1 shows a detail of the proposed arrangement in plan view of the first upper layer.
- FIG. 2 shows the schematic section along the line II - II in Fig. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic section along the line III - III in Fig. 1st
- the flooring shown is designed in three layers, wherein a first upper layer 1 and a third lower layer 3 are designed as film layers.
- the lower layer 3 is at least on the surface of a central layer 2 facing surface over the entire surface conductive formed, for forming an electrical ground layer GND.
- the film of the first upper layer 1, facing the middle layer 2, is provided with strip-shaped interconnects 4 spaced from one another. These are preferably printed interconnects 4 for the positive voltage supply VCC of the arrangement.
- interconnects 4 are guided to the edge of the carpet edge 5 and form there along the edge of the carpet edge 5 aligned contacting zones 6 from the power supply and the conductor track-dependent data communication.
- Next are adjacent to the tracks 4, further in the left between the tracks 4 spaces below the upper film layer 1 sensors 7 are arranged. These can also be applied in the printing process as well as in the etching process. Shown are sensor surfaces capacitive acting sensors 7. Alternatively, sensor tracks can be provided.
- the stocked with the conductors 4 and the sensors 7 upper layer 1 is the entire surface on the middle layer 2, which in turn is fully supported on the lower layer 3.
- the middle layer 2 is initially essentially an insulating layer 8, which has recesses 9 for chips 10.
- the height of the insulating layer 8 is adapted to the height of the chips 10, corresponds to about 2 mm.
- the recesses 9 for the chips 10 are positioned underneath the printed conductors 4 and are spaced apart in the longitudinal extent of the printed conductors 4 such that two adjacent sensors 7 are contacted by a chip 10 on both sides of the printed conductor 4.
- the chips 10 have contact projections 11, 12. These engage in the upper layer 1 or in the printed conductors 4 and sensors 7 formed in this layer 1. It does not require a separate measure for contacting, such as. Soldering or the like.
- the contact before jumps 11 are used to contact the individual sensors 7, wherein in the illustrated embodiment, two contact projections 11 are assigned to a sensor 7. Via the contact projections 12, the power supply of the respective chip takes place.
- the ground line of the chip 10 via its downwardly facing surface 13, which is in full contact with the lower, conductive ground layer. 3
- the tracks 4 are up, i. for the chips 10 side facing away from the situation 1 isolated.
- the conductor tracks 4 or the contacting zones 6 are folded over along the peripheral edge 5 (see FIG. 3), so that the conductive side is directed upward thereafter.
