La présente invention se rapporte à une unité de détection d'une zone de balisage RF, qu'on qualifiera également de système ou balise. L'unité doit être miniature pour être intégrée dans un support de petite taille ayant un volume inférieur à 8 cm3 et, de préférence, inférieur à 6 voire à 5 cm3. En termes de dimensions, elles sont de l'ordre de maximum 35 mm x 35 mm x 5mm d'épaisseur et, de préférence, de l'ordre de 35 mm de long par 20 mm de large et 5 mm d'épaisseur (3.5 cm3). Le support peut être un bracelet, une montre, un élément de ceinture, un casque, etc. La
Selon l'invention, le système de détection 1 représenté schématiquement à la
Les autres dimensions de la bobine sont calculées sur base des contraintes suivantes :
- La perméabilité aux ondes RF, c.à.d. que les ondes RF doivent passer au travers de la bobine sans problème ni distorsions comme déjà mentionné ci-dessus ;
- La transmission RF et le chargeur à induction ne sont jamais en fonction en même temps. On notera à cet égard que le système est à même de détecter la présence du chargeur externe grâce au détecteur 15 schématisé sur la
figure 2 ; - Les limites de la technologie de fabrication d'une telle bobine sur PCB, une bobine fil étant trop grosse en volume ;
- L'efficacité de l'induction en fonction de l'ampérage et le voltage requis pour le chargeur en fonction de la batterie choisie ;
- Le format le plus petit possible pour être intégré dans le support.
- Permeability to RF waves, i.e. that the RF waves must pass through the coil without problems or distortions as already mentioned above;
- The RF transmission and the induction charger are never in operation at the same time. It should be noted in this regard that the system is able to detect the presence of the external charger by means of the
detector 15 schematized on thefigure 2 ; - The limits of the manufacturing technology of such a coil on PCB, a wire coil being too big in volume;
- The efficiency of the induction according to the amperage and the voltage required for the charger according to the chosen battery;
- The smallest possible format to be integrated in the support.
Ainsi, outre une distance D1 de minimum 120 µm entre spires, les autres dimensions sont préférentiellement :
- Largeur L de chaque spire de minimum 120 µm, toujours de préférence la largeur L de la spire est identique à la distance D1 entre spires afin d'avoir une performance d'induction accrue ;
- Epaisseur E de chaque spire comprise entre 0.05 et 200 µm ;
- Diamètre D2 de la spire intérieure formant un passage libre pour le champ électrique du chargeur et pour les ondes RF compris
entre 2 et 10 mm ; - Diamètre extérieure D3 de la bobine compris entre 10 et 40 mm ;
- Distance de jeux d'air D4 à l'extérieur de la bobine de minimum 1 mm sur tout le pourtour de la bobine ;
- Nombre N de spires entre 10 et 30.
- Width L of each turn of at least 120 μm, still preferably the width L of the turn is identical to the distance D1 between turns in order to have an increased induction performance;
- Thickness E of each turn between 0.05 and 200 μm;
- Diameter D2 of the inner coil forming a free passage for the electric field of the charger and for RF waves between 2 and 10 mm;
- Outer diameter D3 of the coil between 10 and 40 mm;
- Clearance clearance D4 outside the coil of at least 1 mm all around the coil;
- Number N of turns between 10 and 30.
A titre d'exemple, les résultats pour la bande de fréquence 2,5Ghz sont:
- D1 : 0,254 mm ;
- L : 0,254 mm ;
- E : 0,105 mm ;
- D2:9mm;
- D3 : 30,5 mm;
- D4 : 1,35 mm, donc diamètre total (D3+2xD4) de 33.2 mm ;
- N : 21.
- D1: 0.254 mm;
- L: 0.254 mm;
- E: 0.105 mm;
- D2: 9mm;
- D3: 30.5 mm;
- D4: 1.35 mm, so total diameter (D3 + 2xD4) of 33.2 mm;
- N: 21.
Selon une variante de l'invention représentée à la
Le système comporte en outre les composants électroniques assurant le stockage de l'énergie chargée et l'alimentation électrique des moteurs. Selon l'invention, les moyens de stockage et d'alimentation comportent au minimum deux condensateurs 12 en série et une batterie 13 (voir
Une alimentation électrique particulière avec au moins deux condensateurs en série a donc été conçue afin de pousser des moteurs normalement trop puissants pour la dimension du circuit et de la batterie. Le premier condensateur rapidement chargé charge le deuxième. L'alternance entre les deux condensateurs permet de maintenir le courant sur les moteurs, d'isoler le contre courant causé par la résistance mécanique de la masse en rotation des moteurs vibrateurs et dès lors d'économiser l'énergie totale nécessaire.A particular power supply with at least two capacitors in series has been designed to push motors normally too powerful for the size of the circuit and the battery. The first capacitor quickly charged loads the second. The alternation between the two capacitors makes it possible to maintain the current on the motors, to isolate the countercurrent caused by the mechanical resistance of the rotating mass of the vibrator motors and thus to save the total energy necessary.
Pour augmenter le ressenti de la vibration par l'utilisateur, il est avantageux de pulser le moteur, c.à.d. d'appliquer des vibrations par pulsation On/Off/On/Off rapide des moteurs. Pour ce faire, l'utilisation du double, voire triple, condensateurs prend toute son importance car les moteurs sont en constant redémarrage, ce qui, pour rappel, nécessite beaucoup d'énergie instantanée. La pulsation du moteur permet d'augmenter la force de frappe des moteurs car, au démarrage, les moteurs ne sont pas stables et dès lors frappent avec une amplitude plus élevée, alors qu'une fois en marche, l'inertie du moteur et le relatif équilibre atteint par la stabilité de la rotation réduit l'amplitude de la vibration et donc le ressenti.To increase the feeling of the vibration by the user, it is advantageous to pulse the motor, ie. to apply vibration pulsation On / Off / On / Off fast motors. To do this, the use of double or triple capacitors takes all its importance because the engines are constantly restarting, which, as a reminder, requires a lot of instantaneous energy. The pulsation of the engine makes it possible to increase the striking force of the motors because, at start-up, the motors are not stable and therefore strike with a higher amplitude, whereas once in operation, the inertia of the motor and the relative balance achieved by the stability of the rotation reduces the amplitude of the vibration and therefore the feeling.
Lorsque deux moteurs sont utilisés, il est important que les deux moteurs ne tournent pas en même temps car les masses peuvent s'annuler si, par exemple, la masse se trouve à la position 0 degré tandis que l'autre se trouve à l'opposé soit à 180 degrés. Donc les deux moteurs sont engagés l'un après l'autre pour mieux faire vibrer l'ensemble du support. Pour soutenir ces pulsations, le circuit à double, triple, voire quatre condensateurs pour deux moteurs est essentiel.When two motors are used, it is important that the two motors do not rotate at the same time because the masses can be canceled if, for example, the mass is at the 0 degree position while the other is at the 0 degree position. opposite to 180 degrees. So both engines are engaged one after the other to better vibrate the entire support. To support these pulsations, the circuit with double, triple or even four capacitors for two motors is essential.
On précisera qu'à la place de moteurs vibrateurs, il est envisageable de mettre en oeuvre les moyens décrits ci-dessus pour alimenter un buzzer sonore de haute puissance ayant une puissance supérieure à 90 dB, de l'ordre de 95-100 dB, voire de l'ordre de 110 dB lorsque le buzzer est pulsé, type bip bip. Il est également envisageable de combiner un buzzer sonore et un moteur vibrateur. De manière générale, la présente invention est conçue pour alimenter des moyens d'avertissement d'un utilisateur nécessitant un apport en énergie supérieur à ce qu'un dispositif de si petite taille ne pourrait livrer normalement.It will be specified that instead of vibratory motors, it is conceivable to use the means described above for supplying a high-power sound buzzer having a power greater than 90 dB, of the order of 95-100 dB, even of the order of 110 dB when the buzzer is pulsed, type beep beep. It is also possible to combine a sound buzzer and a vibrator motor. In general, the present invention is designed to power warning means of a user requiring a higher energy input than a device of such small size could deliver normally.
Pour finir, on précisera que les moteurs vibrateurs ou le buzzer sonore peuvent être disposés à côté des condensateurs et de la batterie ou être déportés plus loin dans le support tout en ayant l'énergie fournie par chargement et alimentation électrique du circuit comme décrit ci-dessus.Finally, it will be specified that the vibratory motors or the buzzer can be placed next to the capacitors and the battery or be further removed in the support while having the energy supplied by loading and power supply circuit as described above. above.
