Definitions
- the invention relates to a process and products as per the first portion of the independent claims.
- the term "mercury switch” is known an electrical switch that closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes.
- the mercury tilt switch represents the most common design of this control element. It remains in a defined state (open or closed) when tilted one direction with respect to horizontal and enters the other state when tilted the other direction.
- solutions based on liquid or pendulum elements are available, typically being evaluated inductively, capacitively, or optically.
- these devices as well are increasingly displaced by MEMS technology.
- US 5751074 A (EDWARD B PRIOR) 05.12.1998 discloses an electrical switch sensitive to an externally applied inertial and gravitational force, having an enclosure with a closed space; a conductive fluid filing a first portion of the space and a non- conductive medium filling a second portion of the space, the conductive fluid and the non-conductive medium having differing densities; at least two electrodes in communication with the space; an electrical circuit coupled the contacts and having electrical connections for connection with a power source and a load, having a semiconductor switching device, which is responsive to a current through the contacts, a current through the contacts causing the semiconductor switching device to change in conductivity.
- An externally applied force e.g., gravity or inertial force, causes the conductive fluid to move within the enclosure with respect to the contacts, altering a current through the contacts, and thereby changing a conducting state of the semiconductor switching device.
- the switch resides within a housing, containing both the enclosure and the electrical circuit.
- JP H09274842 A (R B CONTROLS KK) 21.10.1997 discloses an earth leakage breaker.
- An operation test switch is provided in the earth leakage breaker, and when the switch is manually turned on, a part of the current bypasses a leakage detecting unit through a resistor, and the condition the same as the case where a leakage is generated can be artificially generated.
- a leakage is intentionally generated, a relay is electrified, and a relay contact is turned off.
- An inclination switch is connected in parallel with the switch, and when the inclination switch is inclined at the predetermined angle or more and turned off, the condition that a leakage is generated in the same way as the condition that the switch is turned off is generated, and a relay contact is turned off to stop the power supply to an equipment.
- JP 2000146579 A (TOYO DENSO KK) 26.05.2000 discloses a time-constant circuit formed out of capacitors and a resistor in a detecting circuit and a constant current circuit in the collector of a controlling transistor.
- the detecting circuit formed to output a detected signal of high level when a Hall detects the rotational condition of a movement beyond a prescribed angle and comes into a switch-on state, is provided with a time constant circuit consisting of capacitors and a resistor therein.
- a constant current circuit is provided which supplies constant current to the collector of a controlling transistor.
- a breakdown diode is provided to serve as a constant current circuit. As a result, a battery power supply is changed into constant voltage, and collector current which is consistently constant is fed through the resistor in turning-on the transistor.
- the invention proposes a two-wire tilt switch based on electronics which, by design of a combined supply and output stage, is supplied in both the switch's open and closed states.
- the combined supply and output stage is constructed to produce a small voltage drop across the switch in its closed state and a low leakage current through the switch in its open state. This ensures that the switch electronics continues to be supplied in both switching states.
- a MEMS acceleration sensor with analog output signal may be used within the scope of the invention.
- the currents and voltages required for the operation and signal evaluation of such MEMS sensor are very low and can thus be supplied by a combined supply and output stage as outlined above.
- the switching point of a tilt switch based on a MEMS sensor may be easily adjusted by suitable analog or digital signal processing of the sensor output signal.
- a switch as per the invention requires only two terminals and may serve to retrofit any device depending on mercury switches.
- the two-wire tilt switch 1 is essentially composed of a combined supply and output stage 2, a sensor element 3, and an evaluation logic 4.
- the supply and output stage 2 is designed to, in the open state of the switch, exhibit high resistance between the supply pin 5 and the switching output 6 while still permitting a low residual current - typically below 1 mA - for internal supply of the sensor element 7 and evaluation logic 8.
- the supply and output stage 2 exhibits low resistance between the supply pin 5 and the switching output 6 while sustaining low residual voltage - typically about 3 V - to power internal supplies 7 and 8 of the sensor element 3 and evaluation logic 4, respectively.
- the sensor element 3 is an analog MEMS sensor with low current consumption - typically below 500 ⁇ A - that provides an analog output signal 9 to the evaluation logic 4.
- the voltage of the output signal 9 corresponds to the inclination angle of the MEMS sensor with respect to the horizontal plane.
- the evaluation logic 4 is configured such that it sets or resets, respectively, the output signal 10 of the evaluation logic 4 depending on the output signal 9 of the sensor element 3.
- the evaluation logic 4 is further capable of evaluating and logically connecting two switching levels. For instance, output signal 10 may be set while output signal 9 is within a first interval, reset while it is within a second, intermediate interval, and set again while it is within a third interval. In a preferred embodiment, such design is employed to implement an axisymmetric switching behavior of the tilt switch.
- the output signal 10 of the evaluation logic 4 toggles the state of the combined output and supply stage 2 between the switch's open state (high resistance) and closed state (low resistance).
- the supply pin 5 is connected to a positive supply voltage (traditionally referred to as "voltage at the common collector", Vcc) while the switching output 6 connects to an attached load 11.
- Vcc positive supply voltage
- the second terminal of the connected load 11 is connected to ground (GND) 12.
- the invention is applicable, inter alia, throughout the electronics industry.
