Figure 2 illustrates the working method of optical sensor (also including optical transmitting set herein).Optical transmitting set or transmitting Unit 17 launches light extraction, and the light is modulated in transmission path 18 and is irradiated to by optics microscope group in environment 11.When sending out In the light penetrated when corresponding opening position has object O, the light of transmitting is reflected by object O, again by optics microscope group 21 simultaneously And the receiving unit 16 of sensor unit 14 is reached via RX path 19.Receiving unit 16 (such as photodiode array) Measurement result is assessed by the logic circuit 15 of sensor unit 14.Here, transmitter unit 17, logic circuit 15 and with it is motor-driven The interface 13 of car power network is conductively connected.
The performance of photodiode 6 used in being especially freely disposed by using appropriate logic circuit 15.
Schematically illustrate in figure 3, optical transmitting set A-F lights to determine spacing in what manner.As can be seen that each light Transmitter A-F sends light beam 3 to fix default radiation angle α-γ for each optical transmitting set A-F.
Here, optical detection area 24 (i.e. the detection zone of optical sensor) is (i.e. electric compared to condenser type detection zone 25 The detection zone of capacity sensor 1) region in the farther scope of coverage distance sensing system, condenser type detection zone only detects Region in distance sensor system close range.
If radiation angle α-γ for example no more than 3 °, can relatively accurately determine spacing.And if radiation angle α-γ More than 10 °, then the accuracy of distance measurement, but the size increase of detection zone.In other words, by selective emission angle α- γ, the degree of accuracy of distance measurement and the size of detection zone can be adjusted.
The detection zone 4 of eight photodiodes 6 (referring to Fig. 4 b) is shown in fig.4.As can be seen that each photoelectricity Diode only detects the light in the range of a certain space angle, and each photodiode has fixed default angular range, photoelectricity Diode detection light in the angular range.

It is shown in detail in Figure 5 and how determines spacing h between sensing system and object O.
Optical transmitting set A or B launches light with fixation default radiation angle α or β.The light by object with determine angle [alpha] ' or β ' Reflect and reach the detection zone 4 for determining photodiode 6.According to the property (such as modulation format of determination) of light, it is known that Photodiode 6 detects light from which optical transmitting set A or B.Thus known radiation angle and incidence angle.Because each light transmitting The distance of device A or B and each photodiode 6 run in distance measurement operational mode is also known, therefore by point P1 (corresponding optical transmitting set A or B), P2 (relevant positions of object O the reflected beams) and the P3 (photodiodes of detection reflected light 6) length of two angle α or β and α " or β " and side s' or s " known to the triangle formed.Because in the triangles three angles it With for 180 °, it is possible to determine unknown the 3rd angle α ' or β '.Can equally be determined by sine another two side a or B and a' or b' length.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 incidence angle, will can need to be limited in by the region that sensing system monitors In maximum necessary distance (such as 1m).Because the detection zone of sensing system is mainly by used optics microscope group 21 (ginseng See Fig. 2) influence, it is possible to advantageously limit or expand detection zone by changing optics microscope group 21.Therefore, according to this hair Bright sensing system 20 is designed as, enabling simply changes optics microscope group 21.
Figure 6 illustrates the state transition graph according to the present invention.
State transition graph of the car door description according to sensor of the invention system is slided below for motor vehicle.
The original state Z0 closed is according to sensor of the invention system by sensor by connecting process E0 to enter Front area monitoring state Z1, object detection functions can only be realized by optical sensor in front area monitoring state.
If sliding car door to open from inside after long-time is suspended, in the presence of the first event E1, sensing system passes through First event enters the second operational mode BM2 (sliding operational mode during car door opening).In the second operational mode BM2, Obstacle recognition function and body language identification function are effective (by the lockable slip car door of the function).Therefore, some Photodiode is with distance measurement run-mode, to determine the spacing between object and motor vehicle.
