It is understood that the material of the panel 100 is not limited as long as it can withstand the pressure applied by the operator. In one embodiment, the panel 100 is a rigid material, such as a metal plate, a glass plate, a plastic plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or other rigid material. In one embodiment, the panel 100 may also be made of a flexible material, for example, the panel 100 is a flexible circuit board. In one embodiment, at least two legs of the full bridge circuit 200 may be adhered or embedded on the panel 100. In one embodiment, the pressure signal detection circuit may employ a conventional signal detection circuit, such as a signal detector or the like.
It is understood that the specific circuit structure of the switching circuit 300 is not limited as long as it has the function of controlling the full bridge circuit 200 to switch between the first connection state and the second connection state. In one embodiment, the switching circuit 300 may be a multiplexer. In one embodiment, the switching circuit 300 may also employ a conventional switching circuit topology. The switching circuit 300 controls the full bridge circuit 200 to switch between a first connection state and a second connection state.
Specifically, the first connection state is: first leg 210 is electrically connected to second leg 220 and fourth leg 240 is electrically connected to third leg 230 (as shown in fig. 3). The second connection state is: first leg 210 is electrically coupled to fourth leg 240 and second leg 220 is electrically coupled to third leg 230 (shown in fig. 4).
In this embodiment, when the panel 100 bears a pressure, the switching circuit 300 controls the full-bridge circuit 200 to switch between a first connection state (that is, the first bridge arm 210 is electrically connected to the second bridge arm 220, and the fourth bridge arm 240 is electrically connected to the third bridge arm 230) and a second connection state (that is, the first bridge arm 210 is electrically connected to the fourth bridge arm 240, and the second bridge arm 220 is electrically connected to the third bridge arm 230), so that the full-bridge circuit 200 senses the pressure and generates a first differential input signal and a second differential input signal respectively, and determines whether to respond to the stress of the panel 100 based on the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal, thereby enabling the present embodiment to correctly recognize forward and lateral pressing signals, avoiding a false recognition phenomenon, and further improving reliability of recognition.
In one embodiment, first leg 210, second leg 220, third leg 230, and fourth leg 240 are located on a first surface or a second surface of panel 100.

Wherein the first surface is disposed opposite the second surface.
In one embodiment, the positioning of first leg 210, second leg 220, third leg 230, and fourth leg 240 on a first surface or a second surface of panel 100 means that: first leg 210, second leg 220, third leg 230, and fourth leg 240 are located on either the top or bottom exterior surface of panel 100. That is, the first surface may be a top outer surface of the panel 100 and the second surface may be a bottom outer surface of the panel 100.
Referring to fig. 6, in an embodiment, the pressure sensor module 10 further includes: the member 400 is supported. The supporting member 400 is provided to the panel 100. First leg 210 and second leg 220 are positioned on one side of support member 400 and third leg 230 and fourth leg 240 are positioned on the other side of support member 400. Alternatively, first leg 210, second leg 220, third leg 230, and fourth leg 240 are positioned on the same side of support member 400. The first bridge arm 210 and the second bridge arm 220 are provided with hollow structures at vertical projections of the support member 400.
In one embodiment, the support member 400 is a rigid material, such as a metal plate, a glass plate, a plastic plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or other rigid material. In one embodiment, the support member 400 may also be a flexible material, such as foam or the like.
In one embodiment, the fact that the first leg 210 and the second leg 220 are provided with hollow structures at the vertical projection of the support member 400 means that: the first bridge arm 210 and the second bridge arm 220 are not solid at the vertical projection of the supporting member 400, that is, the hollowed-out structures are arranged at the projection, so that the supporting member 400 deforms when receiving pressure, and the full-bridge circuit 200 can sense the stress of the panel 100 and generate corresponding differential input signals. In one embodiment, the specific shape of the hollow structure is not limited as long as the supporting member 400 can be deformed when receiving a pressure.
In one embodiment, a plurality of (e.g., two) support members 400 may be spaced apart (as shown in fig. 6), and a gap may be formed. In one embodiment, first leg 210, second leg 220, third leg 230, and fourth leg 240 can be disposed in a gap with first leg 210 and second leg 220 positioned on a bottom exterior surface of support member 400 and third leg 230 and fourth leg 240 positioned on a top exterior surface of support member 400. With such a structure as described above, the support member 400 may be replaced with a rigid support member such as a metal plate, a glass plate, a plastic plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or other rigid support member.
Referring to fig. 7, another embodiment of the present application provides a pressure detection apparatus 20, which includes the pressure sensor module 10 according to any one of the above embodiments and a processor 21. The processor 21 is electrically connected to the full bridge circuit 100 and the switching circuit 300, respectively. The processor 21 is configured to control the switching circuit 300 to switch the full bridge circuit 200 between the first connection state and the second connection state.
In one embodiment, the specific circuit structure of the switching circuit 300 may adopt the structure described in the above embodiments. In one embodiment, the processor 21 may control the switching circuit 300 to switch the full bridge circuit 200 between the first connection state and the second connection state. Specifically, when the panel 100 receives a pressure, the processor 21 may control the switching circuit 300 to switch the full-bridge circuit 200 to the first connection state, and at this time, the full-bridge circuit 100 may be configured to sense the pressure and generate a first differential input signal, and send the first differential input signal to the processor 21.
The processor 21 can then control the switching circuit 300 to switch the full-bridge circuit 200 to the second connection state, in which the full-bridge circuit 100 is used to sense the pressure and generate a second differential input signal, and simultaneously transmit the second differential input signal to the processor 21. The processor 21 is configured to obtain the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal, and determine whether to respond to a stress of the full bridge circuit based on the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal. Specifically, the processor 21 may obtain the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal through the pressure signal detection circuit. That is, the pressure signal detection circuit may be integrated within the processor 21.
In one embodiment, the processor 21 may determine whether to respond to the force of the panel based on the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal after acquiring the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal. Specifically, assume that the resistance of first leg 210 is R11, the resistance of second leg 220 is R12, the resistance of third leg 230 is R13, and the resistance of fourth leg 240 is R14. Wherein R11, R12, R13 and R14 are all force sensitive resistors. As shown in fig. 6, when panel 100 is subjected to a pressure along Z axis (i.e. a positive force), assuming that the pressure is in a direction downward along Z axis, i.e. opposite to the direction of arrow on Z axis, force sensitive resistors along outer side of force receiving direction (i.e. first leg 210 and second leg 220) become larger due to tensile resistance value, force sensitive resistors along inner side of force receiving direction (i.e. third leg 230 and fourth leg 240) become smaller due to compressive resistance value, and then the changes of first differential input signal S1 and second differential input signal S2 can be obtained by the following formulas:
S1=(S1+)-(S1-)=VS*(R14/(R14+R11)-R12/(R13+R12));
S2=(S2+)-(S2-)=VS*(R12/(R11+R12)-R14/(R13+R14));
as can be seen from the above equation, R11 becomes larger, R14 becomes smaller, and the S1+ (representing the positive input of the first differential input signal) signal becomes smaller; r13 becomes small, R12 becomes large, and the S1- (representing the negative input of the first differential input signal) signal becomes large; i.e. S1 becomes smaller. That is, the first differential input signal changes significantly at this time. Since the ratio of R11 to R12 is large, it can be seen that the S2+ (representing the positive input of the second differential input signal) signal is substantially unchanged; since the ratio of R13, R14, etc. becomes small, it is known that the S2- (representing the negative input of the second differential input signal) signal is substantially unchanged; i.e. S2 is substantially unchanged. That is, the second differential input signal does not change significantly at this time.
From the above logic, the first differential input signal changes significantly and the second differential input signal does not change significantly when the panel 100 is subjected to pressure from the Z-axis. That is, whether the panel 100 is pressed from the Z-axis may be determined by whether the change of the first differential input signal and the change of the second differential input signal are significant, so that the processor 21 may determine whether to respond to the force applied to the panel 100. In one embodiment, when the panel 100 is under pressure, if the first differential input signal changes significantly and the second differential input signal does not change significantly, the processor 21 responds to the force applied to the panel 100.
In one embodiment, the Z-axis pressure (i.e., positive force) refers to: a pressure perpendicular to the first surface of the panel 100. In one embodiment, the Z-axis pressure refers not only to a pressure perpendicular to the first surface of the panel 100, but also to a pressure at a predetermined angle with respect to the Z-axis. The preset included angle may range from 0 to 30 °.
When the panel 100 is subjected to a pressure (i.e., a lateral force) along a direction of an arrow of the Y axis (as shown in fig. 6), the force sensitive resistors along the outer side of the force receiving direction (i.e., the second bridge arm 220 and the fourth bridge arm 240) become larger in tensile resistance value, and the force sensitive resistors along the inner side of the force receiving direction (i.e., the first bridge arm 210 and the third bridge arm 230) become smaller in compressive resistance value, so that the changes of the first differential input signal S1 and the second differential input signal S2 can be obtained by the above formula. Specifically, as the ratio of R11 to R14 is large, the S1+ signal does not change significantly; r12 becomes small, R13 becomes small and S1-signaling is not obvious; i.e. S1 is substantially unchanged. That is, the first differential input signal does not change significantly at this time. The S2+ signal becomes smaller as R11 becomes larger and R12 becomes smaller; r13 becomes small, R14 becomes large, and the S2-signal becomes large; i.e. S2 becomes smaller. That is, the first differential input signal changes significantly at this time.
From the above logic, the first differential input signal does not change significantly and the second differential input signal does change significantly when the panel is subjected to pressure from the Y-axis. That is, whether the panel 100 is pressed from the Y-axis may be determined by whether the change of the first differential input signal and the change of the second differential input signal are significant, so that the processor 21 may determine whether to respond to the force applied to the panel 100. In one embodiment, when the panel 100 is under pressure, if the first differential input signal does not change significantly and the second differential input signal does change significantly, the processor 21 does not respond to the force applied to the panel 100.
In one embodiment, the Y-axis pressure (i.e., lateral force) refers to: a pressure parallel to the first surface of the panel 100. In one embodiment, the pressure of the Y-axis may refer to not only the pressure parallel to the first surface of the panel 100 but also the pressure at a predetermined angle with respect to the Y-axis. The preset included angle may range from 0 to 30 °.
In this embodiment, when the panel 100 bears a pressure, the switching circuit 300 controls the full-bridge circuit 200 to switch between a first connection state (that is, the first bridge arm 210 is electrically connected to the second bridge arm 220, and the fourth bridge arm 240 is electrically connected to the third bridge arm 230) and a second connection state (that is, the first bridge arm 210 is electrically connected to the fourth bridge arm 240, and the second bridge arm 220 is electrically connected to the third bridge arm 230), so that the full-bridge circuit 200 senses the pressure and generates a first differential input signal and a second differential input signal respectively, and determines whether to respond to the stress of the panel 100 based on the first differential input signal and the second differential input signal, thereby enabling the present embodiment to correctly recognize a forward pressing signal and a lateral pressing signal, avoiding a false recognition phenomenon, and further improving reliability of recognition.
In one embodiment, the processor 21 is configured to determine a variation amplitude of the first differential input signal based on the first differential input signal when the panel 100 is under pressure, and obtain a first variation amplitude. The processor 21 is further configured to determine a variation amplitude of the second differential input signal based on the second differential input signal, and obtain a second variation amplitude. The processor 21 compares the first variation amplitude with the second variation amplitude, and determines whether to respond to the force applied to the panel 100 based on the comparison result.
In one embodiment, the processor 21 may compare the difference between the first variation amplitude and the second variation amplitude, and if the first variation amplitude is greater than the second variation amplitude, it is determined that the panel is being pressed by a positive pressure, and the processor 21 may respond to the force applied to the panel 100. In one embodiment, if the first variation is smaller than the second variation, it may be determined that the panel 100 is being pressed by a lateral pressure, and the processor 21 may not respond to the force applied to the panel 100.
In one embodiment, the processor 21 may output a touch instruction when the panel 100 is pressed by a positive pressure, i.e., when the processor 21 responds to the force applied to the panel 100. When the panel 100 is pressed by lateral pressure, that is, when the processor 21 does not respond to the force applied to the panel 100, the processor 21 does not output a touch instruction. Optionally, the touch instruction may be a key instruction or a non-key instruction.
