In order to make the technical solutions of the present application better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
An Integrated Circuit (IC) referred to in the embodiments of the present application is a kind of micro electronic device or component. The transistor, diode, resistance, capacitance and inductance elements and wiring required in a circuit are interconnected together by adopting a certain process, manufactured on a small or a plurality of small semiconductor wafers or medium substrates, and then packaged in a tube shell to form a micro structure with the required circuit function; all the elements are structurally integrated, so that the electronic elements are greatly miniaturized, low in power consumption and high in reliability.
The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings.
To illustrate the method in the embodiment of the present application more clearly, two schemes of over-current and short-circuit protection circuits commonly used in proximity sensors are first introduced.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a sensor for performing overcurrent and short-circuit protection based on a thermistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the sensor circuit includes a detection coil, a power circuit, and an oscillation circuit, a detection circuit, and a shaping circuit, which are connected in sequence, and the thermistor, a load, a transistor Q1, and a resistor R5, where the connection relationship is as shown in fig. 1. A detection coil in the sensor circuit generates a magnetic field under the drive of the circuit, senses the distance between a detected object and the detection coil, changes the parameters of the circuit and detects the detected object in a non-contact manner.
Specifically, the oscillating circuit in the sensor circuit may output an oscillating signal of a certain frequency to drive the coil to generate the magnetic field. The detection coil can be formed by copper wires, and under different frequencies, the current flowing through the copper wires gradually tends to the outer surfaces of the copper wires, so that the higher the frequency of the copper wires is, the higher the resistance is, and the distribution of the magnetic field of the coil can be influenced. The detection circuit can detect a modulation signal in an input signal, wherein the input signal is generated by inductance variation of the coil under the action of a detection target; the shaping circuit can filter the modulation signal; the remaining transistor Q3 can detect the filtered signal to determine and output the sensor status, i.e., the detection status of the proximity sensor is indicated by turning on and off.
The proximity sensor shown in fig. 1 uses a positive thermistor, that is, a PTC, to perform overcurrent and short circuit, and mainly depends on the temperature characteristic of the thermistor, and as the current increases, the temperature of the positive thermistor rapidly increases, and at the same time, the resistance value of the resistor rapidly increases, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the current.
In the scheme, the overcurrent and short-circuit protection heat is increased sharply, the heating is serious, the response speed is slow, Q1 has the risk of being burnt out, and the temperature can influence the load capacity of the product. Because the resistance value of the thermistor greatly changes along with the change of the temperature, the output current capability is different along with the difference of the temperature, the output current is different in size, and meanwhile, the output voltage drop is large.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a sensor for performing overcurrent and short-circuit protection based on an integrated IC according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the sensor circuit includes a detection coil, a power circuit, and an oscillation circuit, a detection circuit, a shaping circuit, and a dedicated IC, which are connected in sequence, where a connection relationship is as shown in fig. 2, which is similar to the circuit structure shown in fig. 1, and functions of the above circuit modules are not repeated here.
The integrated IC is used in the scheme, the output driving circuit and the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit are integrated in a chip, and the chip mostly adopts a thermal cut-off mode, so that the heat is serious and the price is high.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an over-current and short-circuit protection circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit can be applied to a proximity sensor to implement over-current and short-circuit protection; the proximity sensor may further include a power circuit, a processing circuit, and an output unit, the first end of the processing circuit being connected to the power circuit. As shown in fig. 3, the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit 300 includes a control unit 310, a detection unit 320 and a load unit 330, wherein:

Generally, an inductive sensor with a magnetic core adopts a coil with the magnetic core, and is combined with a corresponding driving circuit to drive the coil with the magnetic core to generate a magnetic field, and the magnetic field senses the clamping distance of metal at the same time to change the parameters of the driving circuit, so that the aim of detecting the metal in a non-contact manner is fulfilled. The application provides a design method of a coreless coil, the coreless coil suitable for the inductive sensor is designed, a magnetic core structure does not need to be combined, meanwhile, large induction distance detection can be achieved, and sensitivity performance of the coreless inductive sensor is guaranteed.

A no magnetic core coil that reasonable design is arranged in inductance type sensor in this application to avoid the risk that the magnetic core brought to inductance type sensor's design, improve inductance type sensor's interference killing feature, and reduce design cost and development time when selecting the magnetic core.
In an alternative embodiment, the detecting unit 320 may include a detecting resistor, and the load unit 330 may select a load according to a requirement.
In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 310 may include resistors R1-R7, capacitors C1 and C2, a transistor Q3, and an operational amplifier U1. For better illustration, reference may be made to a schematic diagram of a sensor circuit configuration shown in fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4, similar to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the sensor circuit includes a detection coil, a power circuit, and an oscillation circuit, a detection circuit, and a shaping circuit that are connected in sequence, and the connection relationship is correspondingly shown, and reference may be made to the description in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here.
Further, in the structure shown in fig. 4, the output unit is a transistor Q1; the first terminal of the output unit is the base of the transistor Q1, the second terminal of the output unit is the emitter of the transistor Q1, and the first terminal of the output unit is the collector of the transistor Q1.
Wherein. One end of the resistor R4, one end of the capacitor C1, one end of the capacitor C2, and the emitter of the transistor Q3 are first ends of the control unit; the other end of the capacitor C2 and one end of the resistor R2 are connected to the collector of the transistor Q3; the other end of the resistor R2 and one end of the resistor R3 are connected to the negative electrode of the operational amplifier U1;
the other end of the capacitor C1 and one end of the resistor R1 are connected with the base electrode of the triode Q3; the other end of the resistor R1 is a fourth end of the control unit;
one end of the resistor R6 is a second end of the control unit; the other end of the resistor R6 is a fifth end of the control unit;
one end of the resistor R7 and the output end of the operational amplifier U1 are the third end of the control unit; the other end of the resistor R7, the other end of the resistor R4, and one end of the resistor R5 are connected to the positive electrode of the operational amplifier U1;
the other end of the resistor R3 and the other end of the resistor R5 are the sixth end of the control unit.
Based on the description of the device embodiment, the application also provides an overcurrent and short-circuit protection method. As shown in fig. 5, the method can be applied to an over-current and short-circuit protection circuit in a proximity sensor, where the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit includes a control unit, a detection unit, and a load unit, such as the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit shown in fig. 3; the method comprises the following steps:
501. when the load of the load unit is increased and the current value of the detection unit reaches a preset current threshold value, the control unit controls the output unit in the proximity sensor to be turned off; when the current value of the detection unit is 0, the control unit controls the output unit to be conducted; the output unit is configured to output detection result information based on a detection signal of the target to be detected of the proximity sensor;
502. repeating the above steps until the load of the load unit is increased, and the current value of the detection unit is reduced to be less than the preset current threshold value and is not 0.
The output unit may select a suitable element according to a need, for example, the suitable element includes a diode, a triode, or a buzzer, which can be turned on and off, so as to control the state of the output unit under the conditions of overcurrent and short circuit to visually reflect the state of the circuit, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.
Specifically, to more clearly illustrate the overcurrent and short-circuit protection method in the present application, the work flow of the overcurrent and short-circuit protection is described as follows by taking fig. 4 as an example: q1 turns on and current begins to flow through the sense resistor and the load. The overcurrent and short-circuit protection circuit in the proximity sensor mainly has 3 working states:
1. when the current flowing through the detection resistor is smaller than the threshold value, Q3 and U1 do not work;
2. as the load decreases, the current flowing through the detection resistor gradually increases. When a set threshold value is reached, Q3 is conducted, the voltage of R3 rises, negative feedback is introduced through an operational amplifier U1, a shaping circuit is locked, Q1 is turned off, and the current flowing through an electrical measuring resistor and a load is reduced to Q;
3. after the current flowing through the detection resistor is reduced to 0, Q1 is conducted again, Q3 and U1 do not work, and the current flows through the detection resistor and the load again; the above steps are repeated until the load is increased and the current is reduced to be lower than the set current threshold.
Therefore, when the current is overlarge or short-circuited, the Q1 is switched between continuous on and off, and the product output indicator lamp continuously flickers as the detection result information; the user can judge that the product is in an overcurrent or short-circuit state through the continuously-flashing indicator lamp.
The capacitors C1 and C2 are used for adjusting the on and off time of the Q1, and can be selected according to requirements.
In the method, the temperature coefficient of the detection resistor is stable, so that the load carrying capacity is stable at different temperatures, and the change of the temperature of the shell cannot occur.
In the embodiment of the application, the proximity sensor uses the resistor to detect the output current at the output driving end, negative feedback is introduced through the discrete component triode and the operational amplifier to construct a circuit shown in fig. 3, the on or off of the output driving circuit is controlled, and the temperature change is not relied on, so that heat cannot be generated during product protection. When overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the pulse type output is realized, so that the function indicating lamp flickers, and the state of the sensor can be obtained more intuitively.
In the embodiment of the application, a plurality of strands of insulated copper wires can be mutually twisted to form a strand, and then the strand is wound to form the coil with a corresponding structure, so that the skin effect and the proximity effect between the coils can be eliminated to a certain extent, the quality factor of the coil is improved, the phenomenon of uneven distribution of current in the wire is weakened, and the magnetic field intensity of the coil is further enhanced.
When the coil with the same size is wound by the single-stranded wire and the multi-stranded wire, the number of turns of the coil wound by the multi-stranded wire is reduced, the inductance is reduced, the magnetic induction wire in unit area is increased, the magnetic field intensity is higher, the electromagnetic induction phenomenon is more severe, and the coil wound by the multi-stranded wire has higher impedance change rate when the same target is detected.
Based on the above description of the embodiment of the coreless coil design method, an embodiment of the present application also discloses a proximity sensor, which includes an over-current and short-circuit protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as the over-current and short-circuit protection circuit in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 or fig. 4. Through the overcurrent and short-circuit protection circuit, when overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the working state of the overcurrent and short-circuit protection circuit can be intuitively reflected through corresponding output detection result information, the overcurrent and short-circuit protection circuit does not depend on temperature during short circuit and overcurrent protection, the output current capability of a product is not influenced, and compared with the integrated IC, the cost is saved.
In an alternative embodiment, the proximity sensor further comprises a bobbin and a printed circuit assembly; a circuit in which the proximity sensor is provided in the printed circuit assembly;
one end of the printed circuit assembly is provided with a bulge matched with one end of the coil framework for being connected with the coil framework; the other end of the coil framework is used for fixing the coreless coil.
The proximity sensor uses a non-magnetic core coil, has strong anti-jamming capability and simple structural process, and can achieve positioning and structural matching without a positioning and assembling method in the manufacturing process of a common inductance type sensor with a magnetic core.
The structure of the proximity sensor may also be adaptively adjusted according to needs, which is only illustrated above, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
