Description

Doppler microwave detection device and detection boundary adaptive adjustment method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of Doppler microwave detection, in particular to a Doppler microwave detection device and a detection boundary adaptive adjustment method thereof.
Background
With the development of the internet of things technology, the requirements of artificial intelligence, smart home and intelligent security technology on environment detection, particularly on detection accuracy of human existence, movement and micro motion are higher and higher, and accurate judgment basis can be provided for intelligent terminal equipment only by acquiring a stable enough detection result. Wherein the microwave detection technology based on the Doppler effect principle is used as a person and an object, the important junction connected between the object and the object has unique advantages in the behavior detection and existence detection technology, the microwave detection technology can transmit a microwave beam at a fixed frequency, receive a reflected echo formed by the reflection of the microwave beam by the corresponding object and generate a Doppler intermediate frequency signal corresponding to the frequency difference between the microwave beam and the reflected echo in a subsequent mixing detection mode under the condition of not invading the privacy of the person, the amplitude fluctuation of the Doppler intermediate frequency signal corresponds to the Doppler effect generated by the motion of the corresponding object, thus representing the motion of the corresponding object based on the Doppler intermediate frequency signal and realizing the intelligent interconnection between the person and the object by the response of corresponding electrical equipment to the motion of the human body when being applied to the detection of the motion of the human body, therefore, the method has a wide application prospect, but on one hand, the boundary of the corresponding microwave beam is a gradient boundary of which the radiation energy is attenuated to a certain degree, and on the other hand, the method is not deterministic because of the lack of effective control means of the electromagnetic radiation, namely, shaping means of the gradient boundary of the corresponding microwave beam, and is mainly reflected in the lack of adjusting means of the beam angle of the microwave beam, the actual detection space of the corresponding microwave detection module is fixed and is difficult to control, and correspondingly, the situation that the actual detection space is not matched with the corresponding target detection space is caused, so that the target detection space outside the actual detection space can not be effectively detected, and/or the situation that the environmental interference exists in the actual detection space outside the target detection space comprises action interference, electromagnetic interference and self-excitation interference caused by electromagnetic shielding environment, the problem that the existing microwave detection technology based on the doppler effect principle has poor accuracy and/or poor anti-interference performance is caused, that is, because the boundary of the microwave beam is a gradient boundary of which the radiation energy is attenuated to a certain degree, and a shaping means for the gradient boundary of the microwave beam is absent, the actual detection space of the existing microwave detection module is difficult to match with the corresponding target detection space in the actual application, and the defects that the existing microwave detection module has limited adaptability to different application scenes in the actual application and has poor detection stability are caused.
In order to solve the above-mentioned defects of the existing microwave detection module, at present, the sensitivity of the microwave detection module is reduced mainly by selecting the microwave detection module whose actual detection space is larger than the corresponding target detection space and setting the corresponding threshold value of the doppler intermediate frequency signal on the amplitude value, so as to eliminate the environmental interference and the motion interference of the actual detection space except the target detection space based on the reduction of the sensitivity. However, since the amplitude of the doppler intermediate frequency signal is related to the energy of the reflected echo and is also related to the size of the reflecting surface area in the environment, the size and the moving speed of the reflecting surface of the moving object and the distance between the microwave detection module, the environmental interference and the motion interference of the actual detection space outside the target detection space cannot be accurately excluded based on the reduction of the sensitivity of the microwave detection module, so that the detection of the target detection space is not stable and accurate, for example, different moving objects that are at the same distance as the microwave detection module may have different amplitude feedbacks in the doppler intermediate frequency signal due to having different sizes and/or moving speeds of the reflecting surface, and for example, a moving object farther away from the microwave detection module may have a higher amplitude feedback in the doppler intermediate frequency signal due to having a larger reflecting surface and/or moving speed, that is, the reduction of the sensitivity of the microwave detection module may not accurately exclude the environmental interference and the motion interference of the actual detection space outside the target detection space, so that the detection of the microwave detection module in the actual application is not stable and accurate.
In addition, the reduction of the sensitivity of the microwave detection module does not affect the actual detection space of the microwave detection module, so when the actual detection space of the microwave detection module is larger than the corresponding target detection space, the reduction of the sensitivity of the microwave detection module does not correspondingly reduce the power consumption of the microwave detection module and correspondingly causes radiation loss outside the target detection space, and is easy to form self-excited interference of the target detection space, especially a state that a high-reflection object exists in the target detection space and a state that the target detection space is a small non-open space, such as a state that the target detection space is a factory building or a warehouse with a large number of metal structures.
That is to say, in the prior art, by selecting the microwave detection module having an actual detection space larger than a corresponding target detection space and excluding doppler intermediate frequency signals generated by environmental interference and motion interference of the actual detection space except the target detection space in a manner of reducing the sensitivity of the microwave detection module, on one hand, the environmental interference and motion interference of the actual detection space except the target detection space cannot be accurately excluded, so that the detection of the target detection space is not stable and accurate; on the other hand, self-excited interference of the target detection space is easily formed to cause unstable operation of the microwave detection module, especially a state that a high-reflection object exists in the target detection space and a state that a small non-open space of a wall surface and a ground exists in the target detection space; and the radiation loss outside the target detection space caused by correspondingly reducing the power consumption of the microwave detection module is avoided.

Meanwhile, the intensity of an echo signal formed by the reflection of the microwave beam by a wall, a glass or metal plate layer defining the target detection space can be reduced, so that the probability of the Doppler microwave detection device generating self-excitation interference based on multipath reflection is reduced in a state that a high-reflection object exists in the target detection space and in a state that the target detection space is a small non-open space.
In addition, compared with a mode of independently adopting sensitivity adjustment, the amplitude adjustment of the excitation signal has a relatively definite detection boundary due to the fact that the actual detection space can be adjusted, and accordingly, the stability and the accuracy of the Doppler microwave detection device in actual detection application are guaranteed.

It is to be understood that the expression of the state that the target detection region is not occupied in step S1 and the expression of the state that the target detection region is occupied with the moving object in step S3 are rational expressions of the execution timing of step S1 and step S2, that is, step S1 is adapted to be executed in the state that the target detection region is occupied with the moving object, and step S3 is adapted to be executed in the state that the target detection region is occupied with the moving object, which are used only for explaining the rationality of the detection boundary adaptive adjustment method of the doppler microwave detection apparatus and do not constitute a limitation on whether the human body/moving object exists in the use environment of the doppler microwave detection apparatus, nor constitute a limitation on the determination step whether the human body/moving object exists in the target detection region. In fact, the state that the target detection area is not occupied by a person in the step S1 and the state that the target detection area has an active object in the step S3 correspond to the reception of corresponding commands by the doppler microwave detection device, for example, the doppler microwave detection device executes the step S1 based on the reception of a first command sent by the user, and executes the step S3 based on the reception of a second command sent by the user, wherein the representation of the state that the target detection area is occupied by a person in the step S1 and the representation of the state that the target detection area has an active object in the step S3 are reasonable representations of the timing for sending the first command and the second command to the user.
It is worth mentioning that the effective amplitude V of the excitation signal is adjusted as opposed to independently adjusting the sensitivity n In this way, the actual detection space bounded by the gradient boundary can be adjusted based on the change of the gradient boundary, and then the adaptation relationship between the input information of the adjustment input unit 10 corresponding to different stages of the adjustment control circuit 20 and the target detection space under the corresponding scene or size can be intuitively indicated based on the adaptation between the size of the actual detection space and the corresponding target detection space, so as to facilitate a user to easily select an appropriate stage of the adjustment control circuit 20 according to the adaptation relationship between the input information of the adjustment input unit 10 and the target detection space under the corresponding scene or size for the target detection space under the different scenes or sizes, thereby facilitating popularization of the doppler microwave detection device in a state where microwaves are invisible.
By way of example, reference is made to figure 7 of the accompanying drawings which illustrate the amplitude profile V to which the excitation signal is adjusted L V H One in the section hasWhen the excitation signal is adjusted to the current effective amplitude, the corresponding actual detection space and the detection height are H1, and the target detection space with the detection area S1 has better adaptability. Therefore, the effective amplitude V of the excitation signal is adjusted relative to the independent sensitivity adjustment mode n In that the actual detection space bounded by the gradient boundaries can be adjusted on the basis of the change in the gradient boundaries, on the basis of the effective amplitudes V of the different excitation signals n The adaptability of the corresponding actual detection space size to the target detection space of the corresponding scene or size, the adaptation relationship between the input information of the adjustment input unit 10 and the target detection space of the corresponding scene or size can be visually embodied, for example, the input information of the adjustment input unit 10 and the target detection space of the corresponding scene (e.g. highly reflective scene) or size (e.g. size represented by parameters such as height, area, diameter) adapted thereto are listed in a table form on the body or specification of the doppler microwave detection device in a product form, so as to facilitate a user to easily select an appropriate grade of the adjustment control circuit 20 according to the adaptation relationship between the input information of the adjustment input unit 10 and the target detection space of the corresponding scene or size for the target detection space of different scenes or sizes, thereby facilitating popularization of the doppler microwave detection device in a microwave invisible state.
By way of example, referring to fig. 8A to 8C of the drawings of the present specification, the application scenarios of the doppler microwave detection device of the present invention in the target detection space under different scenarios or sizes are illustrated. Corresponding to the microwave detection scenario in which the target detection space illustrated in fig. 8A and 8B is a small space (long and narrow space) or a high-reflection coefficient space, since the actual detection space of the doppler microwave detection device is not changed by independently adopting the sensitivity adjustment mode, the adjustment of the sensitivity cannot be solved in the state that the actual detection space is much larger than the target detection spaceInterference problems outside the target detection space and self-excited interference problems caused by multipath reflections. However by reducing the effective amplitude V of the excitation signal n In this way, the actual detection space can be adjusted to be matched with the target detection space, so that the field intensity of the microwave beam outside the target detection space can be reduced, which is correspondingly beneficial to eliminating the environmental interference and the motion interference outside the target detection space, reducing the electromagnetic interference of the doppler microwave detection device to the outside of the target detection space, and reducing the radiation loss outside the target detection space to reduce the radiation power consumption of the microwave detection device. Meanwhile, the strength of an echo signal formed by reflection of the microwave beam by a wall, a glass or metal plate layer defining the target detection space can be reduced, so that the state of a high-reflection object exists in the target detection space and the state of a small non-open space in the target detection space are reduced, the probability of self-excitation interference generated by the Doppler microwave detection device based on multipath reflection is reduced, the occupation ratio of the microwave beam to the echo signal reflected by a movable object is correspondingly improved, and the stability and the accuracy of the Doppler microwave detection device in actual detection application are favorably guaranteed.
The detection space illustrated in fig. 8C is a microwave detection scene with an interference action, specifically, taking a curtain flutter type interference action as an example, because the signal corresponding to the curtain flutter action is close to the signal corresponding to the human body movement action in frequency in the corresponding doppler intermediate frequency signal, and in amplitude, because the reflection area of the curtain is larger than the reflection area of the human body, the signal amplitude corresponding to the curtain flutter action in the corresponding doppler intermediate frequency signal is larger than the signal amplitude corresponding to the human body movement action at the same distance, the curtain flutter action interference in the detection space cannot be eliminated in an independent sensitivity-reduction adjustment manner, and the effective amplitude V of the excitation signal is reduced n In this way, the actual detection space can be adjusted to a region that does not contain curtain flutter, thereby eliminating curtain flutter interference.
