Definitions

  • the invention relates to a microphone for sound detection in a motor vehicle.
  • the microphone has a microphone capsule, in which a microphone membrane and a driver circuit for generating an electrical signal from a membrane movement are integrated. From the microphone, an electrical microphone signal can be tapped via connection contacts.
  • the invention also includes a motor vehicle in which a microphone arrangement is provided, as is possible with a plurality of the microphones according to the invention.
  • a large number of microphones can be arranged in the vehicle interior.
  • a directional cylinder microphone for installation in a motor vehicle in which a microphone housing, a microphone capsule, an amplifier circuit and a cable holder for fixing a connecting cable are arranged.
  • the connection cable is led out of the microphone housing in order to be able to pick up the signal of the microphone capsule.
  • a microphone capsule is soldered onto a printed circuit board of the dashboard.
  • the circuit board or other structural elements of the Dashboard having an arrangement passage openings for the directional detection of sound. Due to the arrangement of the microphone capsule on the printed circuit board no separate wiring is required. Instead, the microphone capsule may be connected to printed circuit boards mounted on the printed circuit board via a bus system with a voice processing system which is positioned at a suitable location of the motor vehicle independently of the microphone capsule.
  • This solution has the disadvantage that microphone capsules can only be provided where a printed circuit board is also available on which corresponding interface circuits for the bus system are soldered. For example, a microphone capsule can not be accommodated in the headliner of the motor vehicle since there are no such printed circuit boards.
  • a similar microphone system for a motor vehicle which comprises a plurality of microphone devices distributed in the motor vehicle.
  • the microphone devices are connected via a bus system with the head unit of the motor vehicle.
  • Each of the microphone devices each comprises a microphone cluster with three individual microphone capsules.
  • the PDM signals (PDM - pulse-density modulation) of the microphone capsules are converted by a signal converter to PCM signals (PCM - pulse code modulation).
  • the microphone device each have a bus controller.
  • the bus system is a synchronous MOST bus system which has two optical conductors in ring structure.
  • the signals of the microphone capsules of the microphone cluster of each microphone device should be able to be combined into a beamforming signal.
  • the circuit components of a microphone cluster are supplied with a common clock signal.
  • the microphone signals of the individual microphones of a microphone cluster must be combined by a common bus controller and sent together to the head unit. For this reason, the individual microphone devices consisting of the microphone cluster, the converter device from PDM to PCM and the bus controller are still relatively large.
  • the invention has for its object to provide for a sound detection in a motor vehicle, a microphone assembly that requires little space.
  • a microphone diaphragm is arranged in a known manner in a microphone capsule.
  • the microphone capsule has at least one sound inlet opening, through which an airborne sound can reach the microphone diaphragm from outside the microphone capsule and set it in motion.
  • a driver circuit is arranged in the microphone capsule.
  • Driver circuit is here to be understood as an electronic circuit, by means of which an electrical diaphragm signal is generated in a manner known per se as a function of the movement of the microphone diaphragm. It is important for the understanding of the invention that this is a single signal which describes the movement of the microphone diaphragm and represents the audio signal contained in the sound. There is no summary of multiple electrical signals to a beamforming signal provided.
  • the microphone On the microphone capsule accessible from the outside connection contacts are arranged, via which the microphone can emit an electric microphone signal.
  • this microphone signal is not directly related to the electrical signal of the driver circuit. Rather, in the microphone according to the invention between the driver circuit and the connection contacts, a further circuit is connected, which is referred to here as an interface circuit.
  • This interface circuit is also disposed in the microphone capsule and adapted to convert the single membrane signal of the driver circuit into a digital bus signal according to a predetermined bus standard. This bus signal is then output as the microphone signal via the terminal contacts. If, therefore, an acoustic sound is detected by means of the microphone diaphragm, then a bus signal is generated directly from the microphone according to the invention, which signal can be output to a data bus.
  • the microphone is directly operable as a bus node of a data bus when the terminals of the microphone capsule are connected to the bus.
  • the microphone according to the invention has the advantage that now a single component is ready, namely the microphone capsule, which can be connected directly to a data bus and so can feed an audio signal directly into the data bus.
  • Another advantage is obtained by interpreting the interface circuit to insert the microphone signal into a time division multiplexed signal of the data bus. Then, several of the microphones according to the invention can be arranged along a bus line of the data bus and the microphone signals of all microphones are transmitted as a time-division multiplex signal via the same bus line to a central processing device, for example a head unit or an infotainment system. This advantageously reduces the wiring complexity for such a microphone arrangement.
  • the interface circuit of the microphone according to the invention is also designed to communicate bidirectionally via the data bus and in this case to receive a diagnosis request and to generate a diagnosis message in response to a functional capability of a component of the microphone to the diagnosis request.
  • a self-examination of the microphone can be initiated, by which, for example, the microphone diaphragm, the driver circuit and the interface circuit can be checked for their functionality. This can be carried out in an automated form, for example, at each start of the motor vehicle by a control unit and the recognition of a defect to the driver to visit a workshop are recommended.
  • connection contacts for outputting the microphone signal.
  • the microphone can be connected to a central processing device via a twisted-pair line.
  • An output pin may e.g. be formed by a wire.
  • a further advantage results if, in addition to the connection contacts for outputting the microphone signal, input contacts for receiving a bus signal of another microphone are also arranged on the microphone capsule.
  • the other microphone is preferably also an embodiment of the microphone according to the invention.
  • the bus signal of this other microphone is then received via the input contacts.
  • the interface device must then be designed to loop through this received bus signal to the mentioned connection contacts for the output of its own microphone signal.
  • This embodiment represents a concrete variant of the possibility described above of using a common bus line to transmit the microphone signals of several microphones to a central processing unit.
  • the interface circuit is designed to generate the bus signal according to the A2B bus standard.
  • This bus standard makes it possible to transmit a time-multiplex signal with a sufficiently high bandwidth for the transmission of several microphone signals via an unshielded twisted-pair bus line. In other words, all the advantages described above can be realized simultaneously by means of an A2B interface circuit.
  • a further advantage results when the microphone membrane is provided by a micro-electro-mechanical system, or MEMS for short.
  • MEMS micro-electro-mechanical system
  • Another name for such a system is silicon microphone. It can be arranged on a common circuit board so the microphone diaphragm, the driver circuit and the interface circuit. This results in a particularly compact design of the microphone.
  • the driver circuit and the interface circuit are preferably phantom-powered via the connection contacts. Then can be done via the bus lines and a supply of the microphone with electrical energy. This leads to a further saving of cables.
  • the driver circuit may comprise an amplifier circuit and a converter circuit connected downstream of the latter.
  • the amplifier circuit generates an electrical, analog signal as a function of the movement of the microphone diaphragm, and the converter circuit then generates a digital signal from the analog signal.
  • the digital signal is one of the following: an I2S signal (I2S - Inter IC Sound Interface, IC - Integrated Circuit), a PDM signal or a PCM signal.
  • I2S signal I2S - Inter IC Sound Interface, IC - Integrated Circuit
  • PDM PDM signal
  • PCM PCM signal
  • This embodiment has the advantage that standard components for the realization of the driver circuit on the one hand and the interface circuit on the other hand can be used.
  • Another (not separately claimed) embodiment of the microphone according to the invention provides to realize the driver circuit and the interface circuit as a common integrated circuit (IC). Then a single IC in the microphone capsule is sufficient.
  • the microphone capsule itself, an advantageous embodiment results if it comprises a metal cup in which at least the microphone diaphragm and the driver circuit are arranged.
  • the interface circuit is arranged in the metal cup.
  • the metal is advantageously aluminum.
  • the provision of a metal cup shields the driver circuit and the interface circuit against interfering electromagnetic radiation.
  • Aluminum can be formed by means of pressing suitable for heating.
  • a further embodiment of the microphone according to the invention provides that the interface circuit is adapted to receive an external clock signal and to provide the driver circuit.
  • the clock signal can be a bus clock of the data bus. Then you can do without an additional clock.
  • the invention also includes a motor vehicle.
  • This is preferably a passenger car.
  • the motor vehicle according to the invention has a microphone arrangement comprising a plurality of microphones, each of which represents an embodiment of the microphone according to the invention. All microphones are connected via a common bus line to a central receiving unit. The microphones each generate a bus signal to a corresponding locally detected sound and combine their bus signals on the bus line to a time-division multiplex signal that can be received by the central receiving unit.
  • the infotainment system can then receive and process a microphone signal as an audio input signal.
  • the vehicle according to the invention has the advantage that a plurality of individual microphones can be distributed in a motor vehicle interior, for example in a headliner, and in this case only a small amount of installation space has to be made available for each of the microphones.
  • the bus line can also be designed very simply, in particular with a small diameter, since all microphones share the bus line.
  • the microphone array is therefore also well scalable, because to provide another microphone, no complete line from the additional microphones to the receiving unit must be laid.
  • the receiving unit From the receiving unit then that of the microphone signals with the best audio quality can be forwarded to an infotainment system.
  • a preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle is designed such that the receiving unit forms a selection circuit.
  • the receiving unit is designed to extract the respective microphone signal from the bus signals of all the microphones (ie to reassemble the individual data packets received via the data bus) and to determine a value for a quality measure for each extracted microphone signal. It is then that extracted microphone signal with the largest value of the quality measure as the actual audio input signal forwarded to the infotainment system.

  • a signal-to-noise ratio can be estimated.
  • Estimation algorithms for this are known per se from the prior art. For example, a resting level can be determined via long-term averaging of the respective microphone signal, and then a ratio of the current level to the resting level can be calculated when the level of the microphone signal changes.
  • a ratio of the current level to the resting level can be calculated when the level of the microphone signal changes.
