This example describes as example with the automatic playing piano that uses this calibrating installation; Main control box 1, power supply 4, ECR controller (Solenoid controller unit) promptly be used to control the solenoid motion controller, have a plurality of solenoidal solenoid guide rails 3 and be installed in piano housing 2; Vibration transducer 5 is installed on the soundboard 7 of piano and/or acoustic pickup 6 is installed on the qin dorsal column of piano; Master controller is installed in the main control box 1 with other peripheral circuits; The digital signal of main control box 1 output; Have a plurality of solenoidal solenoid guide rails 3 through the conversion driving of ECR controller and realize playing automatically, ECR controller and be used for storing the data that calibration process obtains.When certain solenoid occurs unusually, such as short circuit, connection error, when catastrophic failure occurring, the ECR controller can control system promptly break off connection, and display reminding information, and these abnormal conditions are played control action.Owing to the control action that the ECR controller mainly also has been, in this example the ECR controller is regarded as the part of master controller.
Having a plurality of solenoidal solenoid guide rails 3 is to be connected with the ECR controller, and by an electromagnetic induction device of ECR controller drives.Be made up of 80 solenoids in this example, each solenoid inside is equipped with special piston.The solenoid that has piston is the mechanical operating part of whole automatic playing system, impacts the single key of piano through control piston, touches the string pronunciation through hammered string instrument, and whole like this piano is just played out needs the song played.
Vibration transducer 5 is the bar shaped piezoelectric transducers that are bonded on the soundboard 7 of piano.When hammered string instrument impacted string, soundboard can produce vibration thereupon, and this sensor can be different according to the amplitude that soundboard produces, and convert the correspondent voltage signal into, and finally convert digital signal into.It can be with the minimum vibration value that identifies, will be as the minimum value of the digital signal of master controller output in this example.

The Current Control formula is identical with the Control of Voltage formula, repeats no more.
Need to prove, after calibration, obtained new differential numerical value and be:
Dt=(U max-U min)/(N-1)
This numerical value is stored in the memory storage, as the increment numerical value in the follow-up calibration procedure.
All the other are with embodiment 1, and the maximal value U of the magnitude of voltage of driving execution mechanism operation is exported in concrete acquisition MaxWith minimum value U MinOr the maximal value I of current value MaxWith minimum value I MinMethod and the calibration output voltage or method of current, the back about the embodiment of method in further explanation.
Embodiment 3:
In Fig. 3, the step of concrete calibration is: begin calibration, whether detecting sensor connects, otherwise stops calibration, with the maximum drive voltage U of preset output MaxOr electric current I MaxPlay the maximal value of key as topworks, and be stored in the master controller, perhaps in the ECR controller.
For ease of narration, be adjusted into example with voltage below and describe, electric current adjustment be illustrated in that this is identical.
Begin to play with #n (for example n=1) key, by sensor, in this example for being installed in the piezoelectric transducer on the soundboard 7 or being installed in the numerical value of the digital signal that the acoustic pickup on the piano qin dorsal column obtains and the numerical value D in the master controller MinCompare, (adopt contrast number D in this example MinBeing zero, is the example for the ease of explanation, if the enough height of precision of sensor, for example is higher than the hearing of people's ear, then this contrast number also possibly be other greater than zero value).If the numerical value of the digital signal of obtaining is greater than the numerical value D in the master controller MinThe digital signal of then key being played by the driving execution mechanism of output deducts an increment; Driving voltage correspondingly deducts an increment Dt; Begin once more to play, the numerical value of the digital signal that is obtained by sensor compares once more, is less than or equal to contrast number D until the numerical value of the digital signal that is obtained by sensor Min, then previous pairing driving voltage value of effective output digital signal or current value store as #n key minimum value.
Computing #n+1, the #n of contrast after the computing whether=81, (in this example be example with 80 keys).Then begin the calibration of next key if not, then finish calibration if yes.
Maximal value U with the magnitude of voltage of driving execution mechanism operation MaxWith minimum value U MinBetween or the maximal value I of current value MaxWith minimum value I MinBetween the scope classification, each value of series after the classification is U nOr I n
This step voltage value U nOr current value I nAdd off-set value e nAs with the input the corresponding calibration of digital signal after output voltage U nOr electric current I nVoltage U nOr electric current I nBe stored in the ECR controller.
With the Control of Voltage is example:
Then be U n=(U Max-U Min)/(N-1) * n+e nOr U n=(U Max-U Min)/(N-1) * n * e n
U wherein MaxMaximal value for corresponding voltage value; U MinMinimum value for corresponding voltage value; N is the progression (for example 128 grades) of classification; N is current progression (for example corresponding input signal is the 10th grade); e nBe the off-set value of current progression, (for example after the measuring and calculating, the 10th grade off-set value can be a constant, also can be number percent).
Need to prove, after calibration, obtained new differential numerical value and be:
Dt=(U max-U min)/(N-1)
This numerical value is stored in the memory storage, as the increment numerical value in the follow-up calibration procedure.
Identical with embodiment 1, at maximal value U MaxOr I MaxWith minimum value U MinOr I MinBetween again classification with the input digital signal corresponding.For example the MIDI digital music signal of input is 128 grades; Then also be divided into 128 grades between digital signal maximal value after the classification and the minimum value again; Again the increment Dt between then at different levels also changes accordingly after the classification, obtains enough resolution to guarantee the system of playing automatically.All to play the value of driving voltage or drive current of key corresponding with a driving execution mechanism for digital signal at different levels, and for guaranteeing the final effect of playing, the value of this driving voltage and electric current also need add off-set value e n, off-set value e nBe to play an instrument correspondingly with different, be generally the preset value of the equipment of corresponding different performance, this preset value is by repeatedly obtaining after accurate the measurement.The magnitude of voltage U that for example works as this grade nCorrespond to 5V, and be+U with the corresponding off-set value of this grade n1%, then the driving voltage of the final output of this level is 5.05 V.
In this example because preset maximal value U MaxOr I MaxBe the peaked upper limit that can export of device, and minimum value U MinOr I MinFor the minimum value of exporting that can receive gets lower limit, this means in this example that maximal value and minimum value have maximum interval that device can reach, therefore calibrate effect and be the best.
But should see; Because the wearing and tearing of device and aging, though each adjustment all can reach the optimum efficiency of device, this optimum efficiency and initial effect are distinguishing; The effect that obtains after promptly each calibration is all inequality, and this is insufferable for high-end crowd.
Embodiment 4:
In Fig. 4, in embodiment 3 output valve U with preset maximum MaxOr I MaxAs the maximal value that key is played by topworks, the problem of existence is, if device has the words of enough redundant surpluses; This maximal value maybe be excessive; Perhaps cause the effect after each calibration different, and in the playing procedure of automatic playing system, owing to wearing and tearing or other reason of machinery; The loudness of a sound that this preset value is played out may reduce gradually, thereby makes automatic playing system playing effect afterwards inconsistent with the playing effect that begins most.
