Abstract

PURPOSE:To determine the distance to the target accurately by applying output of a differential contactless switch in parallel to plural comparators having successively different comparison voltage and detecting output of the comparators. CONSTITUTION:Output of an oscillating circuit 5 is given to a target 1 from a coil 4, and a signal corresponding to the target 1 is obtained from a sense coil 2. Difference between output of a reference coil 3 and that of the sense coil 2 is detected by an amplifier 6, and detected output is detected and integrated by a circuit 7. Output of the circuit 7 is applied in parallel to comparators Q1-Q12. Comparison voltage obtained by dividing a power source VCC by resistances R1-R12 is applied to comparators Q1-Q12. Accordingly, the distance of the target 1 can be determined by detecting output O1-O12 of comparators Q1- Q12.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand from users for proximity devices whose output changes depending on the operating distance. However, in these high frequency oscillation type, II excitation type bridge type, etc., the output decreases exponentially as the distance between the target and the sensor increases. To solve this problem, there were methods to feed back the output of the coil so that the amplifier amplifier was changed according to changes in the impedance of the detection coil, and to pass it through a logarithmic amplification circuit (obtaining a more linear output). However, these devices are unstable due to changes in ambient temperature and amplifier gain, and require the use of very expensive amplifiers to stabilize them.
