In body housing 50, be provided for the output signal of electrothermic type sensor 7 the V2 terminal, be used for from the outside to the VCC terminal of signal processing circuit 4B and constant voltage circuit 30 supply powers, be used for the output signal of PSD4 the V1 terminal, be used for the GND terminal of this body housing 50 ground connection and the terminal that is used to import above-mentioned LED control signal CS0, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4.
This human body detection device 1 following action.
Above-mentioned electrothermic type sensor 7 is always duty.If have detected object (the human body H shown in Fig. 3 A) in the certain distance (sensing range) of distance electrothermic type sensor 7, then electrothermic type sensor 7 detects from the far infrared I0 of human body emission and with detection signal and outputs to the V2 terminal.According to this detection signal, by the control of control part 40, distance measuring sensor 2 begins the range finding action.
For example, shown in the control of Figure 13 A regularly, control part 40 forms high level with LED control signal CS0, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4 in short pulse (pulse width (time) is Δ t) mode and in length time of staggering respectively from 0.5 second to 1 second period T.According to this control signal, the NPN transistor 11-0 among Fig. 4,11-1,11-2,11-3,11-4 successively conducting once, corresponding LED3-0,3-1,3-2,3-3,3-4 launches a near infrared ray I1 (being referred to as ' control successively ') successively.
Here, if have detected object H on the specific direction in the sensing range A shown in Figure 6 (one of them of a-0, a-1, a-2, a-3, a-4), be transmitted into the infrared ray I1 detected object reflection of this direction, inciding the reception light face of PSD4 from the reflected light I1 ' of detected object H.Therefore, control part 40 obtain with LED control signal CS0, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4 synchronously, in other words, obtain with from the infrared of each LED3-0,3-1,3-2,3-3,3-4 synchronously, detect by output (V1 terminal), as can be known the direction of detected object H existence distance measuring sensor 2.In addition, the output of distance measuring sensor 2 is represented to the distance of above-mentioned detected object H according to the position of the incident light in the reception light face of PSD4.Therefore, direction and distance to human body are discerned in existence that can human body simultaneously.
As above example, if drive each LED3, then compare with the situation that drives each LED3 with high duty ratio with low duty ratio, can reduce the consumption electric power of each LED3.Have again,, move, detect just enough by the infrared period T more than 0.5 second corresponding to this because human body is mobile slower.But if the infrared cycle surpasses 1 second, then the people can feel that the action of the position of human body and machine is inconsistent, so improper.
In above example, LED3-0,3-1,3-2,3-3, an infrared ray of 3-4 sequential firing (sequential control), but be not limited to this.Shown in Figure 13 B, with a succession of range finding action of distance measuring sensor 2 in case after detecting the direction of detected object H, control part 40 is only just passable from launching infrared ray off and on corresponding to the LED3 of the direction of above-mentioned detected object H (in this example corresponding to CS2 LED3-2).In this case, if keep the infrared period T of LED3-2, then the consumption electric power of LED further can be reduced to 1/5.
Have again, the result that above-mentioned detected object H moves, when the reflected light that does not detect from its direction, it is just passable to turn back to the sequential control shown in Figure 13 A once more.

Figure 11 schematically represents from top observation human body detection device 1A.Electrothermic type sensor 7-1 is towards right-hand, the result that electrothermic type sensor 7-2 is provided with respectively towards left, and their sensing range A-1, A-2 stagger up and down mutually.Therefore, sensing range is as a whole widened.In addition, two sensing range A-1, A-2 are overlapped, so by the relatively output of union electrothermic type sensor 7-1,7-2, approximate location that can human body.
Figure 12 represents seeing through of the restricted visible light of apparatus and makes the resin component element 13 of the character that infrared ray sees through cover the example of the body housing 50 of human body detection device 1.Under such situation, can protect human body detection device 1 to be subjected to mechanical impact and pollution.Therefore, in function aspects such as anti-mechanical impact and antipollutions, human body detection device 1 that the restriction that the place is subjected to is set is few.In addition because the body housing 50 of human body detection device 1 is not obvious, so design aspect human body detection device 1 that the situation that the place restricted is set is few.
Figure 14 A, Figure 14 B represent respectively except human body detection device 1 and control part 40, also will send the example that communicator 41A, the 41B of human detection signal HS are wholely set as efferent by public line.In the example of Figure 14 A, communicator 41A is a wireless mode, and human detection signal HS is outputed to relay part 81 in the mode of electric wave EM.In the example of Figure 14 B, communicator 41B is wired mode, and HS outputs to communication base station 82 by telecommunication cable 80 with the human detection signal.
Under such situation, receiving the side (e-machine side) of human detection signal HS, can obtain people's at a distance existence, movable information by simple and easy low price mode.In the more detailed supervision a long way off, in most cases use the communication of the view data that imaging apparatus produces, but the view data general data amount that imaging apparatus produces is big, needs equipment such as dedicated line, power supply and uneconomical.On the contrary, expression is little by the data volume of the human detection signal HS of the electrothermic type sensor 7 of human body detection device 1 and distance measuring sensor 2 detected contents.Therefore, do not need equipment such as dedicated line, power supply, can send by public line as described above, so favourable economically.
In addition, in common monitoring traffic, need monitoring image all the time, but, can catch variations such as discrepancy indoor people by with imaging apparatus and human body detection device combination.Therefore, by only issuing sending information image, can reduce equipment aspect, artificial restriction significantly in vicissitudinous situation.
Have again, in the above embodiment,, but be not limited thereto at the outer setting control part 40 of the body housing 50 of human body detection device 1,40 ' and as communicator 41A, the 41B of efferent.Also can control part and efferent be set and carry out integrated in the inside of the body housing 50 of human body detection device 1.
More than, the present invention has been described, but the present invention obviously can carry out various changes.Such change should not be seen as the disengaging the spirit and scope of the present invention, and the change that those skilled in the art understand is included in the scope of claim.
