Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour animer une carte postale de type carnet double (anniversaire, voeux, messages divers) comme connu de EP-A-070653 . Le dispositif de l'invention est caractérisé
en ce qu'il comporte une source d'alimentation électrique par exemple piles ou capteurs solaires (SE), un interrupteur (I), un module (M), un système (S) sur lequel on souffle.The present invention relates to a device for animating a postcard type double notebook (birthday, greeting, various messages) as known from EP-A-070653 . The device of the invention is characterized
in that it comprises a power supply source for example cells or solar collectors (SE), a switch (I), a module (M), a system (S) on which is blown.

Le dispositif se caractérise par l'adjonction à un module d'animation : diode lumineuse, module voix, son, musique... d'un système (S) qui par le souffle permet d' activer et/ou désactiver le circuit intégré assurant le fonctionnement d'un module.The device is characterized by the addition to an animation module: light diode, voice module, sound, music ... a system (S) which by the breath allows to activate and / or deactivate the integrated circuit ensuring the operation of a module.

Le dispositif comporte une source d'alimentation électrique (SE), un interrupteur (I), un module (M), et le système (S) constitué d'un capteur d'air « à bilame » (1), d'une résistance (2), d'un condensateur (3).The device comprises a power source (SE), a switch (I), a module (M), and the system (S) consisting of a "bimetallic" air sensor (1), a resistance (2) of a capacitor (3).

L'utilisateur ouvre la carte, le module se met en marche . L'utilisateur souffle comme pour éteindre une bougie sur le capteur d'air (1) relié au condensateur (3) qui, en se chargeant et se déchargeant, via la résistance (2), permet la répétition de cycles extinction - allumage.The user opens the card, the module starts. The user blows as if to extinguish a candle on the air sensor (1) connected to the capacitor (3) which, by charging and discharging via the resistor (2), allows the repetition of cycles extinguishing - ignition.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation :

  • le système peut couper désactiver et réactiver une diode lumineuse,
  • le système peut éteindre une diode lumineuse et activer simultanément un module sonore avec une voix, un son ou une musique,
  • le système peut activer et désactiver seulement un module sonore avec une voix, un son ou une musique.
According to particular embodiments:
  • the system can turn off and reactivate a light diode,
  • the system can turn off a light diode and simultaneously activate a sound module with a voice, a sound or a music,
  • the system can activate and deactivate only a sound module with a voice, sound or music.

Le schéma et le descriptif technique du processus annexés illustrent le fonctionnement de l'invention.
(fig.1 = planche unique, représente le circuit
d'un des modes de réalisation : une diode illustrant une bougie)The diagram and the technical description of the annexed process illustrate the operation of the invention.
( fig.1 = single board, represents the circuit
of one of the embodiments: a diode illustrating a candle)

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte :

  • une source d'énergie (SE) à laquelle sont reliés en parallèle un interrupteur (I) et un capteur d'air (1).
  • L'interrupteur (I) est relié au circuit intégré (CI).
With reference to these drawings, the device comprises:
  • an energy source (SE) to which a switch (I) and an air sensor (1) are connected in parallel.
  • The switch (I) is connected to the integrated circuit (IC).

Le capteur d'air (1) passe par une résistance (2) et un condensateur (3).The air sensor (1) passes through a resistor (2) and a capacitor (3).

L'ensemble composant le système (S) est également relié au circuit intégré.The assembly comprising the system (S) is also connected to the integrated circuit.

Le circuit intégré (CI) est associé à une diode (D) dans le module (M).The integrated circuit (IC) is associated with a diode (D) in the module (M).

La diode (D) capte les informations de sortie du circuit intégré (CI).The diode (D) picks up the output information of the integrated circuit (IC).

Mode de fonctionnement :Operating mode :

La carte s'ouvre, l'interrupteur carte (I) met sous tension via l'alimentation (AL) le circuit intégré (CI) et donne un signal logique sur la première entrée du NAN D A ; on a un signal logique « 0 » sur les deux entrées du NAND C (qui fonctionne comme un inverseur) ce qui donne à sa sortie un signal « 1 ».

  • Ce signal « 1 » se retrouve sur la deuxième entrée du NAND A. Ce qui fait que le signal de sortie du NAND A est à 0.
  • Ce signal « 0 » se retrouve sur les deux entrées du NAND B (qui fonctionne comme un inverseur).
  • La sortie du NAND B est alors à « 1 » ; la LED (D) fonctionne.
The card opens, the card switch (I) turns on the power supply (AL) the integrated circuit (IC) and gives a logic signal on the first input of the NAN DA; we have a logic signal "0" on the two inputs of the NAND C (which functions as an inverter) which gives its output a signal "1".
  • This signal "1" is found on the second input of NAND A. This makes the output signal of NAND A is 0.
  • This signal "0" is found on the two inputs of the NAND B (which functions as an inverter).
  • The output of NAND B is then "1"; the LED (D) works.

L'utilisateur souffle comme pour éteindre la bougie sur un système dit « à bilame » (1) ; ce qui donne un signal « 1 » sur les deux entrées du NAND C. Ce qui donne à sa sortie un signal « 0 » qui se retrouve sur la deuxième entrée du NAND A» ; comme la carte reste ouverte durant toute l'opération, le signal sur la première entrée du NAND A reste à « 1 ». Le signal de sortie du NAND A est alors à « 1 ».The user blows as if to extinguish the candle on a so-called "bimetallic" system (1); which gives a signal "1" on the two inputs of the NAND C. This gives its output a signal "0" which is found on the second input of the NAND A "; as the card remains open during the entire operation, the signal on the first input of NAND A remains at "1". The output signal of NAND A is then "1".

Ce signal « 1 » se retrouve aux bornes du NAND B ce qui donne « 0 » en sortie, la LED s'éteint. Mais pendant cette opération, le condensateur (3) se charge via la résistance (2).This signal "1" is found at the terminals of the NAND B which gives "0" at the output, the LED goes out. But during this operation, the capacitor (3) charges via the resistor (2).

L'utilisateur arrête de souffler, le capteur d'air donne un signal « 0 », mais comme le condensateur est chargé, le temps qu'il se décharge, il maintient le signal des entrées à « 1 » le temps de sa décharge. Ce qui a pour but de maintenir la LED éteinte. Le temps de décharge est défini par la valeur de la résistance et du condensateur.The user stops blowing, the air sensor gives a "0" signal, but as the capacitor is charged, the time it discharges, it keeps the input signal at "1" the time of discharge. This is to keep the LED off. The discharge time is defined by the value of the resistor and the capacitor.

Le condensateur est déchargé ; le signal des entrées du NAND C est revenu à « 0 ». ce qui donne à sa sortie « 1 ». Comme ce signal « 1 » se retrouve sur la deuxième entrée du NAND A (sa première entrée est toujours à « 1 »), la porte NAND A a un « 0 » logique à sa sortie, ce qui donne un « 1 » logique à la sortie du NAND B, la LED est de nouveau allumée.The capacitor is discharged; the signal of the NAND C inputs has returned to "0". which gives its output "1". Since this signal "1" is found on the second input of the NAND A (its first input is always "1"), the NAND gate A has a logic "0" at its output, which gives a logic "1" to the output of the NAND B, the LED is on again.

La valeur du condensateur et de la résistance dépend du temps de remise sous tension de la LED que l'on souhaite.The value of the capacitor and the resistance depends on the time of re-energizing the LED which one wishes.

Calcul de la résistanceCalculation of resistance

  • T= C.R ; t = T/5T = C.R; t = T / 5
  • 99% = 5.T99% = 5.T
  • T = temps réel = 3 secT = real time = 3 sec
  • Pour un temps de 3 sec et un condensateur de 1 µfFor a time of 3 sec and a capacitor of 1 μf
  • T = T/5 ; 3/5= 0,6 secT = T / 5; 3/5 = 0.6 sec
  • R= t/C ; 0,6/0,000001= 600k IIR = t / C; 0.6 / 0.000001 = 600k II

Essai effectué pour 4/5 secondes d'extinction :

  • Résistance : 461 K II
  • Condensateur : 2,2 µf
Test carried out for 4/5 seconds of extinction:
  • Resistance: 461 K II
