Background technique
This airport navigation lamp system known from 95/24820 A1 of FR 2 865 871 A1 and WO, and the system For illuminating the traffic route on airport such as its runway or taxiway.The lamp of airport navigation lamp system must be inspected periodically, It can be described as Ground lamp, to ensure that they are worked normally.Furthermore it is possible to communicate with each of these lamps so that they can It is advantageous for use as the signal of pilot.
Some airport navigation lamp systems using unshielded cable be lamp unit power, wherein each lamp unit control to A few Ground lamp.These existing systems can be upgraded to communicate with lamp unit.But it is possible to independent by these systems The quantity of the Ground lamp of addressing is fairly limited.
All Ground lamps and all lamp units can be connected to the network of shielding data cable.This will lead to peace Entirely, reliable and multi-functional system, but need completely new communication system.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to improve airport navigation lamp system, particularly, existing airport navigation lamp system.
The present invention solves the problems, such as this by the method for the feature with claim 1.Specifically, this method includes following Step: (i) determines the noise level of multiple time slots (S) in the period along AC electric current (I);(ii) low noise time slot is determined, in institute Noise level is lower than for example scheduled noise threshold during stating low noise time slot;(iii) low informational message is sent via cable (Mlow), the low informational message coding relative to the period the low noise time slot it is at least some, particularly sometimes The timing of gap;And (iv) sends the high informational message of coding-control order during these low noise time slots.
According to second aspect, the present invention solves the problems, such as this by airport navigation lamp system as described above, wherein controlling Unit is arranged to the step of executing according to the method for the present invention automatically.
It is one advantage of the present invention that many Ground lamps can be controlled.Test has been shown to be able to every available frequency Processing is more than 500 and most 990 lamps within the time less than 5 seconds.As a result, the machine on relatively large airport can be reequiped Field navigational lights system.
Another advantage is that error rate is low.Since low noise time slot is used only, channeling is possible, and data pass Mistake in defeated is unlikely that.
Another advantage is to be not usually required to repeater.Since multiple time slots can be used, maximum frequency can be selected For lower than such as 30 kHz.Inventor has found that signal decaying is especially high at upper frequency.Due to being able to use lower frequency Rate decays reasonably low, therefore is not usually required to repeater.
As a result, cable does not need to shield.The present invention is suitable for nearly all existing airport navigation lamp system.
Another advantage of this system is that it is robust.Since low noise is used only in lamp unit and/or control unit Time channel, according to preferred embodiment, communication electronic equipment can be closed or be set as to close automatically during strong noise time slot It closes.Therefore, they are not influenced by possible voltage peak.
In the present specification, noise level is especially intended to indicate the amount of undesirable electric current and/or voltage fluctuation.
Noise threshold is especially intended to indicate so that the noise lower than the threshold value will not interfere having been selected for data transmission Fixed value.It can be with predetermined noise threshold.In other words, noise threshold can be stored in front of determining noise level for example counts In word memory.Noise threshold selection is high as much as possible, but is low enough to insure that reliable communication.
Alternatively, noise threshold can be implicit.For example, method may include step: time slot needed for (a) determining Quantity NaSo as to obtain status information from Ground lamp in such as 2 seconds or 5 seconds prefixed time intervals, and (b) select Select first with lowest noise level.In this case, when noise threshold is higher than the Na with lowest noise level The noise level of gap and the time slot with (Na+1) lowest noise level.
Phrase " along the period " is intended to indicate that the position of the repeat pattern relative to AC electric current.Instead of phrase " along week Phrase " along the waveform of AC electric current " or " waveform relative to AC electric current " can be used in phase ".AC electric current can be described asIn other words, AC electric current is the periodic function of time t.Phrase " along the period " refers to 2 π of time mould.
Time slot is intended to indicate that the time interval of the definition in timetable, the i.e. time interval relative to AC electric current.In other words It says, time slot is that resource can be used during the time interval (in present case with the time interval of determining duration Under: the transmission capacity of cable) and wherein the time interval periodically occurs (in the current situation: in the period of AC electric current Or in the half period).
Each lamp unit is connected at least one Ground lamp.For all lamp units, lamp unit is connected The constant number of Ground lamp be possible, but be not required.
Preferably, the per half period coding of low informational message is less than two bits, such as one bit of per half period.It is so low Data rate data transmission robust and is not allowed error-prone very much very much.
Preferably, high informational message per half period includes at least 12 bits, such as per half period 17,18 or 19 bits.
The width of time slot is preferably at least 300 microseconds and/or at most 600 microseconds.Each cycle may exist at least 20 Time slot, particularly, at least 30 time slots.Preferably, each cycle, which exists, is less than 60 time slots, particularly, is less than 50 time slots.Often The amount of bits of a activity low noise time slot is preferably at least 1, but multiple frequency channels are possible and advantageous.It is special Not, more than two, three or four frequency channels are able to use.Facts proved that more than 9 frequency channels are possible, but It is not usually required to.
Preferably, cable is unmasked.Certainly, present invention may also apply to shielded cables.But it can also be with non-screen It covers cable and is used together and be advantageous.
Step (iii) may include sending low noise time slot mask.This is successive bits sequence, wherein each bit clock synchronization Whether gap is low noise and whether activity is encoded.Timeslot number that can in different ways to low noise time slot, but this It is a kind of very effective method for doing this part thing.It should be noted that also can be by encoding inactive or strong noise time slot example As those either low noise but it is not used or not be low noise time slot, come realize coding low noise time slot.This In the case of, communication occurs over just unmarked in those of inactive or strong noise time slot.
Low noise time slot for sending high informational message is known as active time slot.All low noise time slots are all active time slots It is possible, but is not required.And if not all low noise time slot be all for the communication with lamp unit it is required, Least noisy time slot is advantageous as active time slot.
According to preferred embodiment, the bit value of each time slot and each frequency channels is frequency coding or phase code.Such as Fruit bit value is frequency coding, then bit value 0 is indicated by first frequency, and bit value 1 is by different from first frequency second Frequency representation.If bit value is phase code, bit value 0 indicates that bit value 1 is by relative to frequency by the first phase of frequency The second phase of the first phase of rate indicates.Particularly, second phase is 180 °.
First channel can be used for scramble time key message, for example, whether lamps and lanterns are operable, inactive or lack It falls into.Second channel can be used for encoding non-time critical information, for example, the electrical parameter of lamp unit, such as voltage or electric current.It is excellent Selection of land, the first channel use the frequency with decaying more lower than other channels and/or noise level.
If bit value is frequency coding, preferably in the centre of each time slot, such as pass through control unit and/or lamp Tool unit samples frequency.Phrase " in the centre of time slot " was especially intended to indicate between the time near the heart in a slot Every wherein the interval has 1/10th gap length no more than time slot width.
Preferably, frequency is no more than 30 kHz.As noted above, higher frequency can cause largely to decay, because This needs repeater.
According to preferred embodiment, for each time slot, using at least four, particularly at least six frequency channels.It is true It proves, for most of airport navigation lamp systems, at least up to ten frequency channels are possible, this causes high data rate.
According to preferred embodiment, at least some high informational message codings are for selectivelying switch on or disconnecting at least one lamp Has the switching information of unit.Switching information may include the time point that corresponding lamp unit has to be switched on or switched off.This when Between point can refer to by internal time or the system time of control unit distribution for example, via reference point setting letter as described below Number.

Step (i) can be executed to (iv) after the starting of airport navigation lamp system.These steps can also be scheduled It is carried out after time interval, for example, once a day.
Preferably, the step of claim 1 (i) and (ii) are repeated after preset time interval, and if Noise level in one low noise time slot is more than noise threshold and the low noise time slot is the work for sending high informational message Dynamic low noise time slot, the new low information for sending at least some of timing of the coding relative to the low noise time slot in period disappear Breath.If one noise level in strong noise time slot is lower than noise threshold, and movable low noise time slot is with (more preceding than this The strong noise in face) the higher noise level of time slot, then can send coding relative to the period the low noise time slot at least The new low informational message of some timings.In other words, if necessary and/or favorably, by change activity low noise time slot.
The waveform of AC electric current can be tangent sine wave (phase-cut sine wave) or sine wave, i.e., completely just String wave, and each period has at least one electric current edge, and particularly, lucky two electric current edges, wherein the timing of time slot is phase Electric current edge is determined.This timing of time slot is executed by lamp unit and/or control unit.Electric current edge can be along AC The time point in the period of electric current, the AC electric current can be detected with full accuracy.Therefore, between control unit and lamp unit or two Timing miss between a lamp unit matches very little.Therefore, it is able to use relatively small time slot.
If the waveform of AC electric current is tangent sine wave, electric current edge is to steeply rise, and work as phase at the end of tangent Electric current edge when beginning is cut sharply to decline.If the waveform of AC electric current is sine wave, when the first derivative relative to the time has When its maximum value or minimum value, electric current edge occurs.
As an alternative, the waveform of AC electric current is sine wave.Certainly, cosine wave is equal to sine wave, because of their only phases Position is different.The timing of time slot can be determined relative to the phase of sine wave.
This method may include step: by means of the clock of lamp unit, by send reference point setting signal for example by means of Help control unit;With the Phase synchronization by making clock Yu AC electric current based on reference point setting signal, to determine the timing of time slot. The reference point setting signal may include the first set (such as 0) of at least one bit of (i) first value, and then follow (ii) market bit (such as 1) of non-first value, and (iii) is the second set (example of at least one bit of the first value As 0).Lamp unit determines the sampling time point of time slot preferably relative to the market bit time point of market bit.In other words It says, the time point that lamp unit receives market bit is considered as making the internal clocking of lamp unit and AC current synchronization Material time point.First set preferably includes at least two continuous equal bits.It is first that second set, which preferably includes, At least two continuous equal bits of value.
The phase locked phrase of clock and AC electric current is especially intended to indicate to receive ginseng based on reference point setting signal The time point of examination point setting signal be used to calculate the time shift between the clock of lamp unit and AC electric current, wherein the frequency of clock It is stabilized to the frequency of AC electric current.

Code word is followed by there is active time slot mask.This is instruction time slot SjIt whether is movable sequence of bit values.When movable Gap is the low noise time slot for communication.In general, all low noise time slots are active time slots.Due to, in this example, S1It is high Noise time slot, corresponding bit value are 0.Due to S2It is low noise time slot, bit value 1.It is of course also possible to distribution ratio in turn Paricular value.
In this example, 20 time slot S are used onlyjIn 19.Therefore, active time slot mask has 19 bits.20 The fact that only have 19 to be used in a possible time slot is stored in the digital storage of such as processor 42 (referring to fig. 2) In 21.i and the digital storage of corresponding control unit 30.
In digital storage 21.i, numeric address is stored.The numeric address will be used for the sending time of lamp unit 26 Frame code.Sending time frame is that wherein only corresponding lamp unit 26.i is allowed to the time that (and will) sends data Frame.
After active time slot mask, reference point setting signal is sent.The reference point setting signal uses as shown in Figure 3 Time slot.Reference point setting signal includes first set R1 comprising at least 1 bit, in this example, the continuous phase etc. of 4 bits Bit, such as 0.Followed by market bit B after first set R1.Here, B is indicated by value 1.Followed by first after market bit B The second set R2 of at least 1 bit of value is 0 in this example.It can ratio in predetermined first set and in second set Special quantity.Alternatively, low informational message may include sent immediately after active time slot mask and encode will be at it The further ingredient of the middle time slot for sending market bit.
Since market bit has the bit value different from first set and second set, the peak value high precision of corresponding signal The time slot in the degree ground determining period along AC signal is (in this example: S6) time location.Processor 42 (referring to fig. 2) measurement Processor detects the time of the market bit relative to its internal clocking 38, and calculates the time of clock 38 and receive label ratio Time shift Δ t between special time point.Processor 42 calculates each time slot by the time being made of clock time and time shift SjMiddle position.
It may include the second airport navigation lamp system 22' Fig. 2 shows airport, have and the first airport navigation lamp system 22 identical structures.
Its control unit 30' is synchronous with control unit 30.Frequency and first used in second airport navigation lamp system 22' Frequency in airport navigation lamp system 22 is identical.In other words, all frequency channels pair in the first airport navigation lamp system 22 It should be in the corresponding frequencies of the frequency channels in the second airport navigation lamp system 22'.
All lamps of all lamp unit 26.i of first airport navigation lamp system 22 and the second airport navigation lamp system 22' Having unit 26.i' has different sending time frames.Which ensure that most lamp unit 26.i are sent out at any given time Send data.
Fig. 1 shows the Ground lamp 14.i and the second airport navigation lamp system 22' of the first airport navigation lamp system 22 Ground lamp 14.i' arrange in a complementary fashion.In other words, they are arranged such that even if airport navigation lamp system 22, one in 22' breaks down, and still is able to using such as runway 12 and/or taxiway.
