Description of the invention ((Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) This case is a cursor control device '^ Moving method Cursor control device (such as mouse, trackball, etc.) The rotation of the roller ball controls the moving direction and distance of the cursor on the computer screen; in the cursor control device, the detection of the displacement of the roller ball is generally detected by the setting of the grating wheel in the X, γ direction. When the axis moves, it is still necessary to detect the movement of the ball in the left and right direction of the X axis, and the movement state of the γ axis in the up and down direction, in order to correctly control the displacement of the screen cursor. There are two types of conventional devices for displacement detection in the downward direction. The first type of conventional device printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is to place two photo diodes and two photoelectric crystals in the X-axis direction ( photo transist 〇r), an X grating wheel is provided between the two photodiodes and the two photoelectric crystals, and the surface circumference of the X grating wheel is provided with a plurality of openings of the same size to receive light from the two photodiodes During irradiation Generate the effect of light transmission and shading. The two photoelectric crystals receive the light transmission and shading effect, and then are processed by an integral circuit to generate two series of pulse signals with equal phase width and phase difference (as shown in Figure 1). The two-phase difference of equal pulse width pulse signal will produce periodic (1,1) — (0,1)-(0,0)-(1,0)-(1,1)-… state 'to ( 1, 1) as an example, if a state (〇, 1) under the (1, 1) state indicates displacement to the right, if a state under the (1, " state is (1, 〇), it indicates Displacement to the left; of course, the detection method in the Y direction is the same as in the X direction. The lack of the first conventional device is as follows = This paper standard uses the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 305371 A7 B7 In terms of the photodiode and the two X-axis, P5. Description of the invention (2 1 · In order to generate two series of pulse signals with different phases on each of the X and γ-axes, two photodiodes and two on the X and γ-axes must be provided. The two photoelectric crystals not only increase the material cost, but also increase the man-hours required for production and assembly. 2 · In order to accurately produce the best phase difference, the photodiode and the grating The relative position between the openings of the wheel and the photoelectric crystal must be accurately aligned to adjust the sensitivity angle, which will increase the trouble of the production process. 3. The phase difference between the two pulse waves is susceptible to the distance between the openings on the grating wheel Affected, the signal phase difference is not obvious, so it is impossible to clearly distinguish the left, right, up and down directions; in addition, if it is interfered by the outside world (such as light or the voltage of the RS232 port is unstable), it will also make the optical diode and The photoelectric crystal produces ripples, thus generating a series of pulse signals with invalid pulse width. The second conventional device has the same detection method as the first conventional device, both of which generate two strings of the same pulse width with phase difference The pulse wave is a means to identify the direction. The only difference is that the first conventional device is to separate the two optical crystals on the X and Y axes, and the second conventional device is a photodiode. Irradiate the two photoelectric crystals packed together, the same is true for the Y axis. This packaging will reduce the material cost of the two photodiodes and the packaging cost of the two photoelectric crystals, but because of the direction identification method The same as the first conventional apparatus, hence unable to relieve the above-2,3 item is missing. Furthermore, since the second conventional device uses a single photodiode to simultaneously illuminate two photoelectric crystals', in order to prevent the signal difference caused by the light of the photodiode illuminating the two photoelectric crystals at the same time, the difference must be limited The distance between the openings, the number of openings that can be accommodated around the surface of the grating wheel cannot be too large. The paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210Χ297 mm) ----- ^ ----- Outfit ------ 1Τ ------ ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Employee Consumer Cooperation of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Duinh 305971 A7 B7 Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economy Printing 5. Description of the invention (3), and as the person familiar with the art understands, the more openings the grating wheel has, the higher the resolution. So, the resolution of the second conventional device That is restricted. The main purpose of this case is to provide a cursor control device with a displacement detection device to reduce production costs.

ASIC 232 detects the appearance of the signals A, B, and C of these different voltages The order is based on the judgment that the paper size of the roller ball is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) 84 specifications (210Χ297 mm) ^ ------ lsτ ------ ^ ί (please read the notes on the back first (Fill in this page again) A7 --------- B7 printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Department of Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5.

Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 again, which are schematic diagrams and related waveform diagrams of an embodiment of the ASIC 232 in this case. The ASIC 232 further includes a sampling circuit 2321, a comparison circuit 2322, and a controller 2323, reference voltage sources Va, Vb, and Vc. Va < A, A < Vb < B, B < Vc <C; When the comparison circuit 2 3 2 2 receives the voltage signal induced by the photoelectric crystal 2 3 1 2, the sampling circuit 2321 forms the voltage signal by differential sampling The square wave signal clock of different pulse widths with the peaks of the signals A, B, and C as the front edge is used as the clock of the controller 2323, because the front edge of the clock is triggered by the peaks of the voltage signals A, B, and C, so The controller 2 3 2 3 can indeed obtain the peak values of the voltage signals A, B, and C, and avoid the detection error of the moving direction caused by the failure of the peak sampling. Therefore, when the signals of the voltage values Λ, B, and C volts are entered, the digital state of FIG. 6 can be obtained by the comparison result of the comparison circuit 2322: the Alpha volt signal will generate the (1, 0, 0) state, B The Volt signal will generate the (1,1,0) state, and the C Volt signal will generate the (1,1,1) state; send these states to the controller 2 3 2 3, you can detect the rolling ball 2 1 The moving direction and moving distance; if the controller 2323 receives the A volt signal and then the B volt signal is received, it means that the ball has moved one unit (DPI, dot) to the right (or up) per inch), if the A volt state is followed by the C volt state ', it means that it has moved one unit (or down) to the left.

Description of the invention (7) In addition, in actual use, there may be a light irradiation range (the incomplete light is not completely transmitted) of the aperture area that does not completely pass through the photodiode. It has changed the direction of movement of the roller ball, so that the opening of the grating wheel cannot sense the complete A or B or C voltage signal, so an unlocated element will be generated, so that the controller 2323 will generate it instantly when the user changes the direction of displacement A wrong displacement (Jitter) 'In order to avoid this possible situation, the controller 2 3 2 3 can be controlled by software, and each time it receives the first bit of the changed direction, it will automatically give up the bit. To prevent displacement detection errors due to incomplete light transmission in the opening. It should be noted that since this case is mainly to generate a single string of signals with different voltage values as a means of detecting the moving direction and moving distance, the shape and size of the opening of the grating wheel can have many variations, such as square , Round, irregular shape, etc., as long as the opening area can be changed. As for the design of how to use the string of different voltage value signals to detect displacement, anyone who is familiar with this skill should understand the various design methods of the circuit after reading the description of this case, such as using a microprocessor chip with firmware This is also possible, so here only the circuit of FIG. 4 is taken as an embodiment of the displacement detection device, and the remaining possible design methods will not be described in detail.

In summary, the advantages of the device in this case compared with the conventional device are as follows: 1 · Use a single string of different voltage value signals In order to judge the direction, no two pulse signals with phase difference are needed, so only one photodiode and photoelectric crystal are needed for each of the X-axis and Y-axis, which saves material cost and assembly man-hours. This paper scale is suitable for China National Standardization (CNS) A4 wash grid (210X297mm) A7 B7 5. Description of invention (8) 2 · The phase difference of the two pulses is not used as a means of identification, so it will not be produced because the phase difference is not obvious The lack of unclear identification (such as the lack of items 2 and 3 of the aforementioned device). 3. In this case, the opening area is used as the basis for adjusting the voltage value, so the length of the opening can be increased and the width of the opening can be shortened. Without affecting the area value, the number of openings on the surface of the grating wheel can be increased to increase the resolution. This case must be modified by any person familiar with this skill, Ren Shijiansi, but none of them are as protected as the scope of the patent application. ---------- 1 ^ ------ 1T ------ ^ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by Beigong Consumer Cooperative, Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs This paper is again suitable for China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297mm)
