Description of the Invention () Background of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-beam sensing device. A beam detector is a device commonly used in modern industry and commerce to detect the presence or absence of movement on the side. The principle is very simple: one or more light beams and corresponding positions of light-sensing devices are installed in the space. When an object passes, the light sensing element changes due to the intensity of the light received thereon due to the light beam being interrupted, resulting in a corresponding change in the electrical signal. Generally, the sensing signal is compared with a reference threshold level, and then binaryized (converted to a "0" or "1" signal), which can be used as the mechanism trigger and execution timing. The disposition of the binarization can be accomplished by using a Schmitt trigger element. This kind of beam sensor can be used to detect the approach of people or objects for security and anti-theft purposes; or to measure the flow, such as automatic door switches and automatic water-saving devices for people or objects entering and exiting. The function of this type of beam sensing device is mainly divided into three types: retro-refection type, through-beam type, and diffuse reflection type, which are shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1C, respectively. .

However, in some cases, in order to achieve a clear warning to prevent accidents, it is also beneficial to use a visible beam, but the principle is still the same. · Currently, light-emitting elements using near-infrared light wavelengths use infrared emitting diodes (IRED) with wavelengths between 800 and 950 nm.

Kl B7_ 5. Description of Invention () Semiconductor The light source has very good luminous efficiency. Its wavelength also has excellent wavelength matching with the silicon photodiode detector; and the price of the silicon photodiode detection element is very low. If you use a common incandescent lamp to filter to obtain the required infrared light source, its volume is too large and its life is short, which is now rare. The probability of false alarms caused by a beam sensor that is not specially designed is extremely high. For example, car lights from outside, electromagnetic interference from the outside, and noise generated by the system itself may cause false alarms, which greatly reduces the reliability of the induction device, which particularly affects anti-theft applications. In view of this, various technologies for improving reliability have been proposed, such as: increasing light intensity, polarizing light, filtering, signal modulation, and the like. The dual-beam sensor structure shown in FIG. 2 is a technology for improving reliability. It uses two adjacent beams to cut through an object and simultaneously generate an induction signal to improve detection reliability. In other words, any noise < must have the effect of interfering with the triggering of two beams at the same time to cause adverse effects. The probability of false alarms in this design is naturally greatly reduced. Although the general two-beam method has products on the market, most of them use two sets of light sources and light-sensing elements, and must also have two sets of condenser lenses, making it difficult to reduce costs. In addition, in this known two-beam method, the characteristics of the light beam and its configuration are not widely discussed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-beam sensing device that uses a new packaging method to simplify complex optical structures, reduce costs, and reduce the overall size (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

The plurality of light beams are modulated to have various frequencies and can be resolved by a suitable demodulation circuit. When a person or object appears and cuts off the light beam, the timing of the induction signal generated by each beam to the sensing element can be used to judge the character's in or out 'and the speed of the induction; the speed can also be determined by each The correlation and frequency difference of the induced time difference of the light beam counteract the interference and misjudgment of common mode noise. In addition, the light-emitting diode lamp is arranged on the focal surface of the convex lens, thereby forming parallel light, and achieving the projection of a plurality of parallel light beams in different directions in space.

Furthermore, another multi-beam sensing device according to the present invention includes: a convex lens, a multi-light emitting diode lamp , And a line of lenses.

Description of the invention () so that the plurality of parallel light beams have been maintained at a fixed distance and reached Judgment of time difference and speed independent of the object distance. In addition, according to the multi-beam sensing device of the present invention, the sensing method of the sensing element is based on the returning light effect of partial diffuse reflection when a person or object is cut, or by obscuration. Acts normally from the reflected beam of a retro-reflective sheet at the far end. The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention can be obtained by referring to the drawings and the detailed description of the preferred embodiment. A simple explanation of the drawing.

Description of the invention () and 12 are driven by the circuit and emit two beams of modulation frequency of Y and Y. These two LEDs are set Focusing on a precision convex lens 13 On the surface, two thin beams with near-parallel light characteristics can be emitted to the far end. When a person or object (M) cuts into the light field, a diffuse reflection effect can be produced, and some of the light is returned to the photodiode and sensed. Optoelectronic signal. In the future, this signal is divided into two frequencies by amplification and filtering, and demodulated (demodulation) to obtain the original binary signal state (ie, "0" or "1"). Finally, it can be determined by The logic circuit handles the relationship between the two binary signals to determine various sensing conditions. From the logic in Table 1, it can be seen that only when both Λ and B signals are excited, can they be blocked by a reliable person or thing. Single signal In the excited state, it should be regarded as a malfunction of interference and can be ignored. When the person or thing enters from left to right, the signal & precedes Α, otherwise, & precedes \. Therefore, the ingress and egress conditions can be judged by the sensing sequence of the two. In addition, because the frequencies of the two signals are different, if there is an interference source, the frequency spectrum must have both the frequencies Λ and Λ, and the spatial correlation in order to be affected. This situation is less likely to occur than a single frequency. Therefore, this method can prevent strong resonance electromagnetic interference and accidental flash effects. In short, the dual-beam technology of the present invention is not only for dual-beams, but also can be made logically judged to improve reliability by the time, frequency, and spatial correlation of occurrences. In this embodiment, a single packaged twin LED (TWIN LED) lamp is used as a light source to manufacture two light beams, and only one light sensing element is used. When the manufacturing of the LED wafer is completed, two adjacent LEDs judged to be good by cutting are cut into one wafer and packaged as an LED lamp. This method has many advantages: 1. Due to the semiconductor component process, the distance between the two LEDs is very fine (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

It can be known from the formula that the distance between the two beams on the object surface is enlarged by a magnification corresponding to the ratio of the object distance to the focal distance 値. For example: when / ~ 1 A is ‘L—1 meter’ and & = 0.5mm daily inches, A-text 2 = 5cw. When the moving speed of the right person or object is 5 meters / second (that is, 18 kilometers per hour), the time difference between the two signals is i2 ^ = 1G millisecond. For ordinary circuits, this time is long enough to judge the order of the two signals, and can be easily distinguished from the false alarm caused by the simultaneous electromagnetic noise or background light noise. In order to make the difference irrelevant to the object distance L at this time, we can further achieve it with the optical structure shown in FIG. 5. That is, LED 51 and 52 are arranged at the rear of the focal length P-7 nuclear scale standard Saki Prefecture_Jiabiao Xin ((, NS 1 Λ4 specification (21 × x: 97)), printed by Hegong Consumer Cooperative, Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (), the magnified image is located at a distance Q in front of the lens 53. Then a twin lens 54 is arranged at a focal length F in front of the two imaging points, which is characterized by the optical axis distance of the twin lens The distance is the same as the two imaging points (adjusted by moving the q point). Therefore, the two parallel beams of light emitted by the twin lens will travel in parallel, as shown by beam 1 and beam 2 in Figure 5. Time, that is, the above ί2-ί, and the calculation of its speed are therefore independent of the object distance. As shown in Figure 6, 'In order to increase the parallelism of the beam, we can add another limit aperture in front of the Γ point. To limit the size of the light spot to facilitate the creation of parallel light. In short, from the description of the above embodiment, it can be understood that the twin LEDs of the same chip are made into a single packaged LED lamp, and two parallel light beams are formed by using an appropriate lens device. The structure of space can increase The performance and cost of the device are reduced; driving the two LEDs at different frequencies to reduce the false alarm rate and provide the function of determining the direction and speed of entry and exit is much better than the traditional single or dual beam method. In addition, to further reduce false alarms The above method can be further extended. A single chip of multiple LEDs is packaged into a lamp body, and the light beams emitted by these LEDs have different individual modulation frequencies. The multiplication of their sensing signals is used to improve judgment. In this way, the reliability of detection will be perfect without increasing the labor cost of assembly. This is also an important advantage of the present invention. The specific embodiment proposed in the detailed description of the preferred embodiment is only for the sake of brevity.
