Embodiment
Fig. 1 schematically show from top view according to sensing system 20 of the present invention, its central authorities comprise optical sensor 2 and multiple around optical sensor 2 divide into groups arrange capacitance type sensor 1.Described capacitance type sensor has directed integrated capacitive surface (having Reference numeral 1 respectively) respectively.The electric capacity between each surperficial 1 and runway measured by each capacitance type sensor.Optical sensor 2 comprises matrix 5, and described matrix 5 is made up of 64 photodiodes, and this will set forth by Fig. 4 b afterwards further.The right side of optical sensor 2 and left side (see Fig. 1) have three optical transmitting sets (light emitting diode, such as infrarede emitting diode) respectively, and their Reference numeral is A-C or D-F.Optical sensor 2, optical transmitting set A-F and capacitance type sensor 1 are arranged in sensor housing 12 and are upwards hidden by glass 23.In order to be connected with apparatus for evaluating, be provided with connector 22.Optical sensor 2 is visible through glass 23, and capacitive surface 1 can not be seen through glass 23.The length of sensing system (in FIG in left-right direction) is such as 5 to 12cm, and width is such as 1.5 to 4cm.
Figure 2 illustrates the working method of optical sensor (also comprising optical transmitting set at this).Optical transmitting set or transmitter unit 17 launch bright dipping, and described light is modulated and is irradiated in environment 11 by optical frames group in transmission path 18.When there is object O in corresponding position in the light launched, the light of transmitting is reflected by this object O, again arrives the receiving element 16 of sensor unit 14 via RX path 19 by optical frames group 21.The measurement result of receiving element 16 (such as photodiode array) is assessed by the logical circuit 15 of sensor unit 14.At this, transmitter unit 17, logical circuit 15 and conducting electricity with the interface 13 of motor vehicle electrical network is connected.
Especially can by the performance using suitable logical circuit 15 freely to arrange used photodiode 6.
Schematically illustrate in figure 3, optical transmitting set A-F is luminous to determine spacing in what manner.Can find out, each optical transmitting set A-F sends light beam 3 to fix default radiation angle α-γ for each optical transmitting set A-F.
At this, the region in the farther scope of condenser type surveyed area 25 (i.e. the surveyed area of capacitance type sensor 1) coverage distance sensing system is compared in optical detection region 24 (i.e. the surveyed area of optical sensor), the region in a condenser type surveyed area detecting distance sensing system close range.
If radiation angle α-γ is such as not more than 3 °, then can determine spacing relatively accurately.And if radiation angle α-γ is greater than 10 °, then the accuracy of distance measurement reduces, but the size of surveyed area increases.In other words, by selective emission angle α-γ, can the accuracy of spacing measurement and the size of surveyed area.
Show the surveyed area 4 of eight photodiodes 6 (see Fig. 4 b) in fig .4.Can find out, each photodiode only detects the light within the scope of a certain space angle, and each photodiode has the fixing angular range preset, and photodiode detects light in this angular range.
Show in detail already mentioned matrix 5 in fig. 4b.Can find out, photodiode 6 is arranged as eight row 26 8 row 27.At this, those photodiodes that surveyed area 4 illustrates in fig .4 are in identical row, described row horizontal-extending in fig. 4b, are preferably positioned at middle a line (the such as the 4th or fifth line).
Show in detail the spacing h how determined between sensing system and object O in Figure 5.
Optical transmitting set A or B is with fixing default radiation angle α or β utilizing emitted light.Described light by object with determine angle [alpha] ' or β ' reflection and arrive and determine the surveyed area 4 of photodiode 6.Known according to the character (modulation format such as determined) of light, photodiode 6 detects light from which optical transmitting set A or B.Known radiation angle and incident angle thus.Because the distance of each optical transmitting set A or B and each photodiode 6 run in distance measurement operational mode is also known, known two angle α or β and α " or β " of triangle be therefore made up of a P1 (corresponding optical transmitting set A or B), P2 (relevant position of the folded light beam of object O) and P3 (photodiode 6 of detection of reflected light) and limit s' or s " length.Because three angle sums are 180 ° in the triangles, so the 3rd unknown angle α ' or β ' can be determined.The length of another two limit a or b and a' or b' can be determined equally by sine.The spacing h with object O can be determined finally by h=a*sin α or h=b*sin β.
By correspondingly selective emission angle and incident angle, can by the region limits that needs to be monitored by sensing system maximum must in distance (such as 1m).Because the surveyed area of sensing system is mainly subject to used optical frames group 21 (see Fig. 2) impact, so can by changing optical frames group 21 advantageously restriction or expansion surveyed area.Therefore, be designed to according to sensing system 20 of the present invention, make it possible to change optical frames group 21 simply.
Figure 6 illustrates according to state transition graph of the present invention.
Slip car door below for motor vehicle describes according to the state transition graph of sensing system of the present invention.
The original state Z0 being in closedown according to sensing system of the present invention by sensor enters front area monitoring state Z1 by connection process E0, can only realize object detection functions in front area monitoring state by optical sensor.
If slip car door is opened from inside after long-time time-out, then there is the first event E1, sensing system enters the second operational mode BM2 (operational mode during slip car door opening) by this first event.In the second operational mode BM2, obstacle recognition function and body language recognition function (by this function lockable slip car door) are effective.For this reason, some photodiodes with distance measurement run-mode, to determine the spacing between object and motor vehicle.
When make operating personnel recognize slip car door should open longer time rest or corresponding body language (inactive body language) occur, there is second event E2, state transition graph gets back to state Z1 again by this second event.
If front area monitoring function a people detected and the car door that slides is closed, then there is the 3rd event E3, carry out the status transition from state Z1 to the first operational mode BM1 by the 3rd event.In this first operational mode, slip car door is closed, and can open slip car door and breech-block motor-car by body language recognition function or go to lock for motor vehicle.In order to carry out body language identification, some photodiodes are with distance measurement run-mode.
When having a rest, motor vehicle removing lock or carry out corresponding body language (closedown), there is the 4th event E4, state transition graph gets back to state Z1 by the 4th event.
When such as activating slip car door opening function by corresponding body language (opening slip car door), there is the 5th event E5, sensing system is transitioned into state BM2 by described 5th event from state BM1.
When such as activating slip car door blocking function by corresponding body language (closing slip car door), there is the 6th event E6, sensing system gets back to state BM1 by described 6th event from state BM2.
By shown state transition graph, increase for corresponding operational mode BM1, BM2 step by step according to (the having identified) event determined or reduce function especially best, to consume the least possible energy in state Z1.By only periodically (such as every 30ms) activate optical sensor, also current drain can be reduced in front area monitoring state Z1.
Fig. 7 schematically shows according to motor vehicle 10 of the present invention, and it comprises according to sensing system 20 of the present invention.At this, this sensing system 20 comprises apparatus for evaluating 7 and capacitance type sensor 1 and optical sensor 2.
