The sheet metal that described radome 13 has electric conductivity by be used to suppress to interfere mutually or the copper product of the influence of metal on every side etc. constitutes the open box shape in below having an and side.And, upper central portion at this radome 13 offers the cover through hole 38 bigger slightly than through hole 22 diameters, this cover through hole 38 is corresponding with described through hole 22, and under the state of the periphery of the reel portion 21 of covering except that through hole 22 inner peripheral surfaces, is installed on the matrix 18.Outer Wednesday of the side 13a, 13b, the 13c that are closed except that an open side of this radome 13, corresponding and chimeric lightly with three side 18a, 18b, the 18c of the identical correspondence position of matrix 18, and local riveted joint is installed with temporary transient fixing state.
In addition, extend in a side of the opening of radome 13 and to be provided with end edge is extended setting slightly from this radome 13 of open sides resin brace 39, molded fixedly the time by insulative resin material described later 19, have this radome 13 of the open surface that increases radome 13 sides and insulative resin material 19 contact area, improve internuncial effect of both sides.
To detect constituting body 16, connect matrix 17, after radome 13 is assembled on the matrix 18, shown in Figure 8 as the B-B cross section of the Fig. 7 in the A-A cross section of Fig. 1, Fig. 2, presentation graphs 5 and presentation graphs 5, at last by insulative resin material 19, the annular gap 40 that the top of the wiring substrate 15 that the opposite side of matrix 18 is carried and the outer circumferential side of described coil winding 20 form utilizes insulative resin material 19 molded fixing and seal.
Using described insulativity material 19 to carry out under the fixing situation of pattern and since can use these insulative resin material 19 seal lines substrates 15 above, so wiring substrate 15 is not influenced by external static electrification.In addition, this ball P runs into the vibration that the inner peripheral surface of through hole 22 produces in the time of can suppressing ball P by through hole 22 by insulative resin material 19, therefore the effect that is inhibited and resonates between the electronic component 15a.In addition, insulative resin material 19 can be arranged to be also used as the top cover of protecting wiring substrate 15.Therefore, can not need face shield, construct the metallic ball detection sensor 11 that thickness has reduced corresponding to the height of cover.
In addition, as represent that plane earth represents D-D cross section shown in Figure 10 of the Fig. 9 in C-C cross section of Fig. 5 of metallic ball detection sensor 11 and presentation graphs 5, the insulative resin material 19 that is filled is penetrated into by the outer peripheral face of the radome 13 that will go up face closure, coil web 14, with in periphery and the annular gap 40 that surrounds between the matrix 18 of face closure down.Therefore, insulative resin material 19 wraps into coil winding 20 and it is protected, and, radome 13 one of temporary transient stationary state can be fixed on the matrix 18.In addition; even with coil winding 20 graph thinning; also can protect by insulative resin material 19; this ball P does not run into the influence of the vibration that inner peripheral surface produced of through hole 22 when not being subjected to ball P by through hole 22; therefore, can not reduce coiling quantity and make it graph thinning, owing to can take in lessly; so can reduce the thickness of short transverse, help the slimming of metallic ball detection sensor.
As shown in Figure 2; when ball P rolls into the through hole 22 of coil web 14 from the top; described radome 13 is used to prevent static and covers the following side of these through hole 22 peripheries and the lateral surface of through hole 22 peripheries; and be not connected with stable potential; therefore; even the ball P by through hole 22 is charged, also can covers and protect Inside coil winding 20 by this radome 13 or insulative resin material 19.Therefore, the coil winding 20 of coil web 14 is not subjected to the harmful effect from external static electrification.Therefore, coil winding 20 is kept stable detection sensitivity and is carried out the detection action of ball exactly.Particularly, by with radome 13 as the case member setting and and coil winding 20 between set insulative resin material 19, can protect the detection sensitivity of coil winding 20.By establishing the resist technology of this detection sensitivity, can omit the shield member that is used to prevent the electrostatic breakdown coil winding 20 that above through hole 22, produces, can set the amount that size reduces the height part of shield member.Therefore, even also can be with metallic ball detection sensor 11 slimmings in coil web 14 sides.
And then, make that 13d, 14d side are roughly identical level above each that the ball P of radome 13 and coil web 14 rolls out.Therefore, distance of 13d, 14a and coil winding 20 is certain above this, and 13d, 14a are the detection reference position above each, and the detection starting position of ball is certain.Therefore, always obtain 20 pairs of coil winding exactly and begin detection opportunity, obtain the detection characteristic accurately of each ball relatively by the ball P of through hole 22.
In this case, even top 14a 13d above radome 13 of coil web 14 is axially being given prominence to setting slightly, the top 14a of this coil web 14 exposes the outside becomes the detection reference position that ball rolls into side, therefore, can be arranged to make the top 13d of the top 14a of coil web 14 and radome 13 identical, perhaps make the top 14a of coil web 14 outstanding slightly, anyly can both obtain identical effect.
In addition, the following 14b side of coil web 14 also with the following 18d of the matrix 18 that keeps this coil web 14 on identical substantially plane.Therefore, 14b, 18d are certain to the distance of coil winding 20 below each, following 14b, 18d side can be set at the detection reference position.
And then, owing to can determine the detection position, so can detect exactly to the detection end position from the detection starting position of ball P during by through hole 22 by top and bottom 14a, the 14b of coil web 14.At this moment, the surface of metallic ball detection sensor 11, the installation direction at the back side are unrestricted, and operability is good, can high precision, the reliability highland accurately detects ball.
At this moment, from top 13d, 14a to coil web 20 distance setting for radome 13 above not being subjected to, as the distance of the influence of metal.And then 20 distance is set at the certain distance of the influence that is not subjected to metal too from following 14b, 18d to coil web.For example, even be provided with continuously up and down and detect under the situation that rolls down direction of ball at two metallic ball detection sensors 11, the metal of top radome 13 that the coil winding 20 of the metallic ball detection sensor 11 on top is not subjected to being positioned at the metallic ball detection sensor 11 of bottom produces the influence of static and is arranged to certain distance.
Described through hole 22 is offered in order vertically to connect single coil web 14, is made of parts to get final product, and does not have miscellaneous part, therefore, does not produce the step discrepancy in elevation at the inner peripheral surface of this through hole 22, can guarantee level and smooth the rolling out of ball P.
In addition,,, invade the resin that reaches between winding space and tail off, have the advantage of the performance degradation of coil winding of not making 20 at the filling part of coil winding 20 if use the high insulative resin material 19 of viscosity.In addition, if use the high insulative resin material 19 of tack, the constant intensity of part strengthens, and also can improve rigidity.Therefore, it is suitable using high viscosity, high tack and the good insulative resin material 19 of electrical insulating property.
And then, when sealing at wiring substrate 15 sides filling insulative resin material 19, as represent that plane earth represents F-F cross section shown in Figure 12 of the Figure 11 in E-E cross section of Fig. 5 of metallic ball detection sensor 11 and presentation graphs 5, insulative resin material 19 is filled to the part that connects matrix 17 and each part is molded securely fixing.In addition, shown in Figure 13 as the G-G cross section of presentation graphs 5 wraps into outer Wednesday of the side that connects matrix 17 and carries out molded fixingly, should connect matrix 17 one and be fixed on wiring substrate 15 and the matrix 18.
Particularly, because by insulative resin material 19 that wiring substrate 15 or connection matrix 17 is molded securely fixing, wiring substrate 15 or connection matrix 17 are subjected to external force and can easily come off.For example, when socket 12 being connected matrix 17 dismounting relatively by the outside, even having, effect makes peeling forces such as connecting peeling force that matrix 17 peels off and lift upward from wiring substrate 15 or pulling, because it is molded fixing by insulative resin material 19 to connect the periphery of matrix 17, so be difficult for coming off, can not produce bad problems such as broken string from wiring substrate 15 and matrix 18.
But, connect matrix 17 self for this, also have the function that suppresses height, realize slimming.At first, install with the state of vertical perforation wiring substrate 15, can will connect the state that matrix 17 is mounted to a little sinking, can reduce the lift-launch height of this connection matrix 17 by connecting matrix 17.In addition and since with connect matrix 17 below also be formed with the recess 35 that connects the chimeric usefulness of matrix above the corresponding matrix 18, so further sink, the lift-launch of connection matrix 17 is highly further reduced and install at this chimeric connection matrix 17.
Thus, can make the top height of the insulative resin material 19 that is sealed on the matrix 18 be identical substantially height with the two reduction of top height that connects matrix 17.Therefore, can suppress the height of wiring substrate 15 sides of metallic ball detection sensor 11, in addition, because profile can be the tabular of rectangular parallelepiped, so obtain making the metallic ball detection sensor 11 of above-below direction slimming.
And then, even when the plug 17a that connects matrix 17 engages with the contact 12a of socket 12, also apply the countermeasure that is used to realize slimming.When this distribution connecting portion slimming, the cross sectional shape of the contact 12a of the socket 12 that the corresponding plug 17a plug that connects matrix 17 connects freely about recess, the length in length and breadth that forms this contact 12a than in vertically short, the horizontal long shape contact 12a that grows crosswise.Therefore, can suppress to connect the height of matrix 17 based on the short transverse that shortens contact 12a.Its result can make this connection matrix 17 slimmings, and then makes 11 slimmings of Metal Ball sensor.
Then, the manufacture method to metallic ball detection sensor 11 describes.
At first, coil web 14 and wiring substrate 15 are linked into an integrated entity and the detection constituting body 16 that constitutes carry the matrix 18 that forms concavity above.At this moment, side at matrix 18 is equipped with coiling coil winding 20 and the coil web 14 of formation, opposite side at matrix 18 is equipped with the wiring substrate 15 that sensor circuit has been installed, and the two ends that this sensor circuit will be wound on the coil winding 20 of described coil web 14 connect and constitute.
In addition, when carrying, the bottom of the reel portion 21 by making the tubular of being arranged to coil web 14 is fitted in the matrix through hole 30, and coil web 14 is carried on matrix 18 with through hole 22 center-aligned exactly.In addition, the locator protrusions portion 32 of substrate connecting portion 25 is entrenched in the locating slot 31 of matrix 18, and the bottom that makes the コ shape portion 26 of this substrate connecting portion 25 is fitted in the matrix fitting portion 33 of matrix 18, detection constituting body 16 can be located exactly and carry on the matrix 18.
To detect after constituting body 16 carries on the described matrix 18, covering above coil web 14 sides by radome 13 and the lateral surface of the matrix 18 of through hole 22 peripheries and under the temporary transient fixing state, by insulative resin material 19 annular gap 40 of the outer peripheral face side formation of described coil winding 20 and molded the fixing in top of wiring substrate 15 are sealed to flat rectangular parallelepiped, thus, metallic ball detection sensor 11 can be arranged to one as single part.
As the fill method of insulative resin material 19 at this moment, internally the zero setting part does not apply unnecessary pressure, does not make coil winding 20 distortion and the low pressure fill method described later of employing use thermoplastic resin.
When filling described insulative resin material 19, if this insulative resin material 19 invades between the lead of coil winding 20, then between the lead of coil winding 20, have the high material of conductance, increase capacity between the lead of coil winding 20.Therefore, the sensitivity as the coil winding 20 of the checkout equipment of metallic ball detection sensor 11 reduces.Perhaps, suppose that the intrusion degree of insulative resin material 19 has deviation owing to the difference of the environmental baseline of manufacturing process, make it detect performance self deviation (detection) apart from aberrations in property, therefore, preferred insulative resin material 19 of filling does not invade the condition between the lead of coil winding 20.As the condition that is used to realize above purpose, need make when filling or the resin viscosity height during low pressure molding, and relate to the whole zone that is filled.For example, preferred dissolution viscosity is the above thermoplastic resin of 2000Pa/S.
In addition, about forming pressure, preferred not penetration is between the lead of coil winding 20 and do not apply forming pressure, particularly, is suitable for the low pressure molding below the 2MPa or only fills and the low pressure fill method made.
