Abstract

Provided is an electronic switch device which can freely use even a switch component which does not satisfy the safety specifications of each country as a switch component operated by a user for switching power supply to an electronic apparatus from a commercial line source on or off. An oscillation means oscillates upon opening of both ends of a secondary side coil by an operation switch. When both ends of the secondary side coil are short-circuited, oscillation stops as a result of a decrease in the inductor value of a primary side coil, and therefore, the state of both ends of the secondary side coil is reflected upon the output modality of the output from the oscillation means. As a result, by being based on such output modality, connection or interruption of a power supply path can be performed according to the operational state of the operation switch. Here, the secondary side coil to which the operation switch is connected is insulated from the primary side coil, and therefore, even if a switch component which does not satisfy the safety specifications of each country is used as the operation switch, it is possible to secure safety of the user operating the operation switch.

Description

Electronic switch device

The present invention relates to an electronic switch device, and in particular, various mechanical switch parts can be used regardless of safety standards as a switch part for turning on / off power supply from an electric power supply source such as a commercial AC power source to an electronic device. The present invention relates to an electronic switch device.

When an electronic device takes power from a commercial AC power source, it is necessary to take measures against electric shock and leakage due to electromagnetic noise radiated from the cable and high voltage. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a power switch mechanism in which a power operation switch and a switch unit of a power supply unit are mechanically connected by a connecting member so that the switch unit of the power supply unit can be pressed by pressing the power operation switch. Has been.

According to such a power switch mechanism, a power operation button operated by an operator can be provided on the front surface of the device while power is provided on the back surface side of the device. Therefore, the cable in the device can be shortened and electromagnetic noise can be reduced.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-162871

By the way, when a mechanical switch component is used as a switch for turning on or off power supply from a commercial AC power supply to an electronic device, the mechanical switch component to be used depends on the country in which the electronic device is used. However, a mechanical switch that satisfies the safety standard is sufficiently safe against high voltages, but is structurally large and expensive.

In the power switch mechanism described in Patent Document 1, since the power operation button and the switch unit of the power unit are mechanically connected, it is not necessary to use a power operation button that satisfies safety standards. The degree of freedom of mutual arrangement of the operation button and the power supply unit is low or structurally large. On the other hand, even if the switch part of the power supply unit is extended from the power supply unit using a cable with high electromagnetic shielding properties, the switch part to which the voltage from the commercial AC power supply needs to satisfy the safety standard. The above problem is caused instead of increasing the degree of freedom.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances and the like, and is operated by a user to turn on (conduct) or turn off (shut off) power supply from a power supply source such as a commercial AC power source to an electronic device. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic switch device that can be used freely even if it is a mechanical switch component that does not meet the safety standards of each country.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to achieve this object, according to the electronic switch device of the first aspect, the oscillating means for oscillating at a predetermined frequency is provided. Since this oscillating means includes a primary coil in the transformer, it oscillates when the operation switch opens both ends of the secondary coil, while both ends of the secondary coil of the transformer are short-circuited by the operation switch. In this case, the inductor value of the primary side coil decreases, so that the oscillation operation is hindered and the oscillation stops.

According to the electronic switch device of the third aspect, the oscillating means including the oscillating unit that oscillates at a predetermined frequency is provided. On the other hand, when a resonance means having a coil (primary side coil in a transformer) is provided and the operation switch opens both ends of the secondary side coil, the resonance means blocks the oscillation of the oscillation means. (Parasitic intermittent oscillation) is generated. On the other hand, when both ends of the secondary coil of the transformer are short-circuited by the operation switch, the inductor value of the primary coil of the transistor decreases, and accordingly, the oscillation operation of the oscillation means (oscillation unit) is obstructed. The oscillation stops.

Thus, according to the electronic switch device according to

claim

1 or 3, whether the operation switch opens or short-circuits both ends of the secondary side coil depends on the output from the oscillation means (particularly, according to claim 3). In the case of an electronic switch device, it is reflected in the oscillation mode (blocking oscillation, which is an output from the oscillation means), so that the state of the operation switch can be distinguished by detecting the oscillation mode by the detection means. Therefore, based on the detection result of the detection means, the switching means switches between conduction and interruption of the power supply path (hereinafter simply referred to as “power supply path”) from the power supply source to the power usage unit. There is an effect that it can be performed according to the operation state of the switch.

In addition, according to the electronic switch device according to

claim

1 or 3, since the secondary side coil to which the operation switch is connected is insulated from the primary side coil, the switch does not satisfy the safety standards of countries around the world. Even if a component is used as an operation switch, it is possible to ensure the safety of the user who operates the operation switch. In addition, even switch parts that do not meet the safety standards of countries around the world can be used as operation switches, so that there is an effect that the cost of the operation switch part can be reduced.

According to the electronic switch device of the first or third aspect, the secondary side coil and the operation switch are connected by isolating the secondary side coil to which the operation switch is connected and the primary side coil. The electric wires to be connected also have an effect that an inexpensive electric wire can be used instead of an expensive electric wire for high voltage. In addition, since the length of the electric wire can be freely increased without considering radiation noise, there is an effect that it is possible to freely dispose the operation switch mounting position.

According to the electronic switch device of the second aspect, in addition to the effect of the electronic switch device of the first aspect, the following effect can be obtained. As described above, when the operation switch opens both ends of the secondary coil, the oscillation means oscillates. On the other hand, when both ends of the secondary coil are short-circuited by the operation switch, the oscillation occurs. The means stops oscillating. In this way, whether the operation switch opens or shorts both ends of the secondary coil is reflected in the voltage amplitude of the output from the oscillating means.

Here, if the voltage amplitude of the output from the oscillating means exceeds a predetermined value, the first state defined in advance as high or low is output from the detecting means, and the voltage amplitude of the output is less than the predetermined value. If there is, a second state different from the first state is output from the detection means. Therefore, the switching means can distinguish the state of the operation switch depending on whether the output from the detection means is the first state or the second state. Therefore, based on the output from the detection means, there is an effect that the switching of the power supply path by the switching means can be switched according to the operating state of the operation switch.

According to the electronic switch device of the fourth aspect, in addition to the effect produced by the electronic switch device according to the third aspect, the following effect is obtained. In addition to the oscillating unit, the oscillating unit includes a transistor for oscillating the oscillating unit. Between the emitter from which an oscillation signal is output from the transistor and the base, a coil in the resonance unit (primary in the transformer) is provided. Side coil) and a capacitor are connected in series.

As described above, when the operation switch opens both ends of the secondary coil, the resonance unit causes blocking oscillation in the oscillation unit of the oscillation unit, while both ends of the secondary coil are operated by the operation switch. When short-circuited by, oscillation of the oscillating means (oscillating unit) stops. In this way, whether the operation switch opens or shorts both ends of the secondary coil is reflected in the output from the oscillation means, that is, the voltage amplitude of blocking oscillation.

Here, if the voltage amplitude of the output from the oscillation means (voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation) exceeds a predetermined value, the first state defined in advance as high or low is output from the detection means, and the output If the voltage amplitude is less than or equal to a predetermined value, a second state different from the first state is output from the detection means. Therefore, the switching means can distinguish the state of the operation switch depending on whether the output from the detection means is the first state or the second state. Therefore, based on the output from the detection means, there is an effect that the switching of the power supply path by the switching means can be switched according to the operating state of the operation switch.

Moreover, since a large voltage amplitude can be obtained even with power saving due to the occurrence of blocking oscillation, the detection accuracy by the detecting means can be increased while the electronic switch device is configured to save power, and the switching means There is an effect that switching between conduction and interruption of the power supply path can be performed with high accuracy.

According to the electronic switch according to claim 5, in addition to the effect produced by the electronic switch according to claim 2 or 4, the following effect is obtained. When the operation switch is an unlatched switch, even when the power supply path is turned on (ie, switch on), the operation is performed when the power supply path is shut off (ie, switch off). However, since the output from the detection means is in the second state, the output from the detection means distinguishes whether the operation switch is operated for switching on or for switching off. I can't.

However, according to the electronic switch device of the fifth aspect, every time the input of the latch means by the output from the detecting means is switched from the first state to the second state, the latch means inverts and latches the output state. Thus, the output state from the latch means returns to the same state every time the operation switch is operated twice. Therefore, since the output of the latch means can distinguish between the operation for turning on the switch in the unlatch type switch and the operation for turning off the switch, this is the case where an unlatch type switch is used as the operation switch. However, there is an effect that it is possible to switch between conduction and interruption of the power supply path according to the user's intention (that is, operation).

By the way, when using a latch-type switch component, even if the power supply path is shut off by control by the control means, if the switch component is fixed at the switch position for conducting the power supply path for reasons such as forgetting to cut, The power supply path remains conductive, and the power supply path cannot be shut off. However, according to the electronic switch device of the fifth aspect, since the operation switch is an unlatch type switch, both ends of the secondary coil of the transformer are always opened when not operated. Therefore, if the power supply path is interrupted by control by the control means, the power supply path can be reliably interrupted, so that there is an effect that power is not consumed wastefully.

According to the electronic switch device of the sixth aspect, in addition to the effect produced by the electronic switch device according to the fifth aspect, the following effect can be obtained. Based on the control signal inputted from the control input means, the output state to the predetermined input terminal in the latch means is changed from the fourth state different from the predetermined third state of high or low by the initialization means. To the third state. Here, the input terminal of the latch unit to which the output from the initialization unit is input is a state in which the switching unit preferentially shuts off the power supply path when the third state is input. Therefore, the power supply path can be cut off based on the control signal input from the control input means.

Therefore, there is an effect that the power supply path can be automatically cut off by the control signal input from the control input means. Therefore, power is supplied by outputting a control signal to the control input means according to the convenience of the power usage unit (electronic musical instrument, etc.) or other equipment (electronic timer device, etc.) and inputting the control signal from the control input means. Since the road can be cut off, it is possible to prevent wasteful power from being supplied when the power usage unit is not used.

Also, based on the input from the control input means, the output state from the latch means is changed to the state where the switching means shuts off the power supply path, so that the operation switch is operated for the purpose of switching off (cutting off the power supply path). It can be in the same state as when it was done. Therefore, the operation of the next operation switch can be treated as a switch-on (power supply path conduction) operation. After the power supply path is shut off based on the input from the control input means, the user can operate Even though the switch is operated, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid a situation in which the electronic use unit does not drive against the intention.

According to the electronic switch device according to claim 7, in addition to the effect exhibited by the electronic switch device according to claim 5 or 6, the following effect is exhibited. The second initialization means has a capacitor and output means. The capacitor of the second initialization means is configured to store charges when the connector is connected to the power supply source and to discharge when the connector is removed from the power supply source. When the charge amount of the capacitor is equal to or less than the predetermined amount, the output unit of the second initialization unit outputs the third state defined in advance as high or low to the predetermined input terminal of the latch unit. When the charge amount of the capacitor exceeds a predetermined amount, a fourth state different from the third state is output to the same input terminal.

Therefore, when the connector is disconnected from the power supply source and the capacitor is discharged, and when the connector is connected to the power supply source, the second initial initial charge is stored until a predetermined amount of charge is stored in the capacitor. The third state (either high or low) can be output from the output means of the conversion means. Here, the input terminal of the latch means to which the output from the second initialization means is inputted, when the third state is inputted, the output means is preferentially switched to the state in which the switching means shuts off the power supply path. Therefore, the power supply path can be shut off at the beginning of the connection of the connector to the power supply source (the period until a predetermined amount of charge is stored in the capacitor). Therefore, there is an effect that, when the connector is connected to the power supply source, it is possible to prevent the power supply path from being conducted unintentionally and driving the power use unit.

According to the electronic switch device of the eighth aspect, in addition to the effect produced by the electronic switch device of the seventh aspect, the following effect is obtained. When the voltage amplitude of the output from the oscillating means exceeds a predetermined value, a fifth state defined in advance as high or low is output from the second detecting means, and the voltage amplitude of the output is below a predetermined value. In some cases, a sixth state different from the fifth state is output from the second detection means. That is, while the operation switch is in a non-operating state and both ends of the secondary coil are open, the output from the second detection means is in the fifth state, and the operation switch is operated and the secondary coil is operated. While both ends are short-circuited, the output from the second detection means is in the sixth state.

When the sixth state is output from the second detection means to the switching means, and the sixth state is input to the switching means, the priority means (a part of the switching means) inputs from the latch means. The power supply path is conducted with priority over the above. Therefore, even if the input from the latch means accompanying the operation of the operation switch is in a state where the power supply path is interrupted, the power supply path can be conducted while the operation switch continues to be operated. That is, if the operation switch is continuously operated, the power supply path can be conducted without depending on the output state from the latch means, so that the connector is connected to the power supply source while operating the operation switch. The power supply path can be made conductive. Therefore, there is an effect that the power use unit can be driven at the timing when the connector is connected to the power supply source.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a use state of an electronic switch device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic switch device 1 is interposed between an outlet (not shown) as a commercial AC power source as a power supply source and an electronic musical instrument 100 as a power usage unit. This is a device for supplying (on) or shutting off (off) power to the electronic musical instrument 100. The electronic switch device 1 has a plug as an AC input unit 2 and a connector as an AC output unit 3 (see FIG. 2). The AC input unit 2 is connected to an outlet, and the AC output unit 3 is an electronic device. It is used by being connected to a power cable 101 extending from a power supply unit (not shown) of the musical instrument 100. The electronic switch device 1 may be built in the main body of the electronic musical instrument 100, and in this case, the operation switch 50 may be attached to an appropriate location (for example, the operation panel 110) on the electronic musical instrument 100. .

The electronic switch device 1 has an operation switch 50 that is a mechanical switch. The operation switch 50 is an unlatched switch, that is, a switch that returns to the initial position when not operated. Note that an unlatched switch may also be referred to as a momentary switch.

As will be described in detail later, in the electronic switch device 1, when the user presses (operates) the operation switch 50 in a state where the AC input unit 2 is connected to the outlet and the AC output unit 3 is connected to the power cable 101. The power supply to the electronic musical instrument 100 can be switched between the supply and the cut-off according to the pushing operation. In this embodiment, the operation switch 50 is input by a push operation (pressing), but an operation input such as a slide operation may be performed.

The electronic switch device 1 has a connector 51 (see FIG. 2). For example, a cable 102 for transmitting a control signal from a control device (not shown) that controls the electronic musical instrument 100 is connected to the connector 51. Although details will be described later, the electronic switch device 1 is supplied from the commercial AC power source to the electronic musical instrument 100 by a control signal (power management input) input from the electronic musical instrument 100 or another device such as an electronic timer device via the connector 51. The power that has been supplied is configured to be cut off (off).

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing the electronic switch device 1. The electronic switch device 1 includes an AC input unit 2 connected to a commercial AC power source and an AC output unit 3 connected to the electronic musical instrument 100. The AC input unit 2 includes a first input terminal 2a and a second input terminal 2b that is a common terminal on the commercial AC power supply side. The AC output unit 3 includes a first output terminal 3a and a second output terminal 3b that is a common terminal on the power usage unit side.

A power line 4 a is wired between the first input terminal 2 a and the first output terminal 3 a, and this power line 4 a is used for power management input input via the operation switch 50 or via the connector 51. It is configured to be turned on or off by the open / close circuit 10 that is driven accordingly. On the other hand, a power line 4b is wired between the second input terminal 2b and the second output terminal 3b.

The electronic switch device 1 is electrically operated by power supplied from the terminal 13a on the power line 4a and the terminal 13b on the power line 4b. The terminal 13a is provided on the first input terminal 2a side of the power line 4a from the location where the switching circuit 10 is disposed, and is connected to a reference potential.

The electronic switch device 1 has an unlatched operation switch 50 and a transformer TR1. The transformer TR1 includes a primary side coil L1 located on the commercial AC power source side and a secondary side coil L2 insulated from the primary side coil L1. Therefore, the high-voltage current supplied from the commercial AC power supply does not flow out to the secondary coil L2 side of the transformer TR1, and the user operates the operation switch provided on the secondary coil L2 side. 50 can be used safely.

The primary coil L1 constitutes a part of a resonance circuit 7 to be described later. Both ends of the secondary coil L <b> 2 are connected to the respective terminals of the operation switch 50, and are opened (opened) or short-circuited (shorted) when the operation switch 50 is pressed. Although details will be described later, in the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, when the secondary side coil L2 is opened, the oscillation circuit 6 performs blocking oscillation due to the presence of the resonance circuit 7 including the primary side coil L1, The blocking oscillation is stopped when the secondary coil L2 is short-circuited, and the switching circuit 10 is driven by using the presence or absence of the blocking oscillation so that the power line 4a is turned on or off. It is configured.

The electronic switch device 1 includes an AC / DC voltage conversion circuit 5, an oscillation circuit 6, a resonance circuit 7, a detection circuit 8, a latch circuit 9, a switching circuit 10, a push detection circuit 11, and a reset circuit. 12.

The AC / DC conversion circuit 5 is connected to a terminal 14a connected to the terminal 13a and a terminal 14b connected to the terminal 13b, respectively, and receives an AC voltage (for example, 70 to 290 V) supplied from a commercial AC power supply. For example, it is converted into a DC voltage of 10 V and supplied as an operating voltage to the subsequent oscillation circuit 6, resonance circuit 7, detection circuit 8, latch circuit 9, switching circuit 10, push detection circuit 11, and reset circuit 13. In the circuit shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 14a is set to the reference potential, and the terminal 14b is set to the operating voltage (+ Vcc).

The oscillation circuit 6 includes four resistors R1 to R4, an electrolytic capacitor C1, two capacitors C2 and C5, a diode D1, a transistor Q1, and an oscillation unit G. Of the components constituting the oscillation circuit 6, the circuit composed of the three resistors R2 to R4, the transistor Q1, and the oscillation unit G is a Colpitts oscillation circuit. The oscillation unit is amplified by the transistor Q1 and positive feedback. G oscillates and outputs the oscillation signal from the emitter terminal of transistor Q1.

The oscillation part G is CERALOCK (registered trademark). As shown in FIG. 2, the internal circuit of the oscillation unit G includes a ceramic oscillator H and two capacitors C21 and C22. The ceramic oscillator H and the capacitors C21 and C22 connected in series are in parallel. It is connected to the. In the present embodiment, an oscillator having an oscillation frequency of 4 MHz is used as the oscillating unit G. However, the oscillation frequency of the oscillating unit G is not particularly limited as long as blocking oscillation is caused by resonance with the resonance circuit 7 described later.

The transistor Q1 functions as an amplification stage for causing the oscillation unit G to oscillate, and is configured by a PNP transistor. The emitter terminal of the transistor Q1 is connected to a connection point between the capacitor C21 and the capacitor C22 in the oscillation unit G, one end of the resistor R4, and one end of the capacitor C5. The base terminal of the transistor Q1 is connected to a connection point between the ceramic oscillator H and the capacitor C22 in the oscillation unit G, and one end of each of the resistor R2 and the resistor R3. The collector terminal of the transistor Q1 is connected to the other end of the resistor R3.

The other end of the resistor R2 is connected to a connection point between the ceramic oscillator H and the capacitor C21 in the oscillation unit G and one end of the capacitor C2. The other end of the resistor R4 is connected to a connection point between the ceramic oscillator H and the capacitor C21 in the oscillation unit G. The other end of the capacitor C2 is connected to one end of the resistor R1. The end of the resistor R1 to which the capacitor C2 is connected is connected to the end of the resistor R3 to which the collector terminal of the transistor Q1 is connected.

The other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the negative side of the electrolytic capacitor C1. The positive side of the electrolytic capacitor C1 is connected to + Vcc, and the end of the capacitor C2 to which the resistor R1 is not connected is connected. The electrolytic capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 function as a power supply smoothing capacitor. The diode D1 is for preventing reverse current, the anode is connected to the negative side of the electrolytic capacitor C1, and the cathode is connected to the reference potential. The other end of the capacitor C5 is connected to a resistor R8 of the detection circuit 8 described later. The capacitor C5 is for removing the direct current component from the oscillation signal (blocking oscillation signal) oscillated from the oscillation circuit 6 and outputting the alternating current component to the detection circuit 8 at the subsequent stage.

The resonance circuit 7 is a circuit for causing blocking oscillation, which is parasitic intermittent oscillation, in the oscillation unit G of the oscillation circuit 6 described above, and includes the capacitor C3, the primary coil L1 of the transformer TR1, and the oscillation circuit described above. 6 transistors Q1.

One end of the capacitor C3 is connected to the emitter terminal of the transistor Q1, and the other end is connected in series to one end of the primary coil L1. The other end of the primary coil L1 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q1. Thus, when the circuit in which the capacitor C3 and the coil (primary coil L1) are connected in series is connected between the emitter terminal and the base terminal of the transistor Q1 of the oscillation circuit 6, the oscillation of the oscillation unit G Can cause blocking oscillation.

The resonance circuit 7 is configured to oscillate at a resonance frequency (for example, about 250 kHz in the present embodiment) sufficiently lower than the oscillation frequency of the oscillation unit G (in the present embodiment, 4 MHz). Blocking oscillation can be stabilized by making the oscillation frequency of the resonance circuit 7 sufficiently lower than the oscillation frequency of the oscillation unit G. In order to stabilize the blocking oscillation, the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit 7 is preferably set to be at least a fraction of the oscillation frequency of the oscillation unit G. Further, it is preferable to use a frequency at which the period of the blocking oscillation can be set so as not to affect the user of the electronic switch device 1 (for example, about several tens of kHz) as the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit 7.

In the present embodiment, the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit 7 is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor C3, and the inductor value of the primary coil L1 is set to be approximately the same as the inductor value appearing in the internal equivalent circuit of the oscillation unit G. Thereby, when the secondary coil L2 is short-circuited by pressing the operation switch 50, the inductor value of the primary coil L1 can be made smaller than the inductor value appearing in the internal equivalent circuit of the oscillation unit G. The oscillation operation of the part G can be stopped, and the blocking oscillation can be stopped. Therefore, opening and short-circuiting of the secondary coil L2 in response to pressing of the operation switch 50 can be reflected in the presence or absence of blocking oscillation (that is, the presence or absence of the output of the blocking oscillation signal from the oscillation circuit 6).

The electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment detects the presence or absence of a blocking oscillation signal output from the oscillation circuit 6 due to the presence of the resonance circuit 7 by the detection circuit 8 at the subsequent stage, and outputs the detection result (output from the detection circuit 8). Based on the switching circuit 10, the power line 4a is switched between conduction and interruption. In addition, by providing the resonance circuit 7 and causing blocking oscillation in the oscillation circuit 6, a sufficiently large voltage amplitude can be obtained compared to the voltage amplitude (wave height) of the normal oscillation (oscillation by the Colpitts oscillation circuit) of the oscillation circuit 6. Therefore, the detection of oscillation by the detection circuit 8 at the subsequent stage can be accurately performed.

The detection circuit 8 is composed of six resistors R8 to R13, a diode D2, a capacitor C7, and two transistors Q2 and Q3. The detection circuit 8 is arranged in a subsequent stage according to the state of the output (blocking oscillation signal) from the oscillation circuit 6. This is a so-called flip-flop circuit that switches the output between high and low to the latch circuit 9.

The transistor Q2 is for switching on and off according to the oscillation signal output from the oscillation circuit 6, and is constituted by a PNP transistor. The emitter terminal of the transistor Q2 is connected to + Vcc. The base terminal of the transistor Q2 is connected to one end of each of the resistors R8 and R9 and the anode of the diode D2. The collector terminal of the transistor Q2 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q6 constituting the push detection circuit 11 described later.

The other end of the resistor R9 is connected to + Vcc, and the other end of the resistor R8 is connected to the end of the capacitor C5 (oscillation circuit 6) on the side where the emitter terminal of the transistor Q1 is not connected. The cathode of the diode D2 is connected to + Vcc. The capacitor C7 is for delaying the response time of the detection circuit 8 when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power source (hereinafter referred to as “power-on”), and one end is set to + Vcc. The other end is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor Q2.

The transistor Q3 is for switching on and off depending on whether the transistor Q2 is on or off, and is configured by a PNP transistor. The emitter terminal of transistor Q3 is connected to + Vcc. The base terminal of the transistor Q3 is connected to one end of the resistor R10 and one end of the resistor R11. The collector terminal of the transistor Q3 is connected to one end of the resistor R13. The other end of the resistor R10 is connected to + Vcc. The other end of the resistor R11 is connected to one end of the resistor R12 and to the collector terminal of the transistor Q2. Both the other end of R12 and the other end of R13 are connected to a reference potential. As a result, + Vcc is divided according to the resistance R10 and the resistances R11 and R12.

The latch circuit 9 includes IC1, capacitors C9 and C10, and a resistor R14. Each time the output from the detection circuit 8 (the collector terminal of the transistor Q3) rises from low to high, the latch circuit 9 is based on the rising edge. The output to the open / close circuit 10 is inverted and the state of the output is maintained until the output from the detection circuit 8 rises from low to high next time.

IC1 is a logic IC configured as a positive edge trigger type D flip-flop, and is a terminal CK that is a clock terminal, a terminal D that is an input terminal, a terminal Q that is an output terminal, and an inverted output terminal. It has terminal QN. In synchronization with the rising edge of the clock signal input to the terminal CK, the input to the terminal D is latched (held), output from the terminal Q, and inverted from the terminal QN.

In IC1, the terminal CK is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor Q3 in the detection circuit 8, and the output from the transistor Q3 is input as a clock signal. A terminal QN is connected to the terminal D, and an inverted output output from the terminal QN is input to the terminal D.

Thereby, in a state where the output from the terminal Q is high and the output from the terminal QN is low, the output from the detection circuit 8, more specifically, the output from the collector terminal of the transistor Q3 is low to high. Since the output from the terminal QN is low, the output from the terminal Q is inverted from high to low, and the output from the terminal QN is inverted from low to high. . When the output from the detection circuit 8 next rises from low to high, it is high that the signal being input from the terminal QN to the terminal D, so the output from the terminal Q is inverted from low to high, and the terminal The output from QN is inverted from high to low.

Further, IC1 has a terminal CLR which is a clear terminal and a terminal PR which is a preset terminal. The terminal CLR is connected to + Vcc, and the terminal PR is a transistor Q4 constituting a reset circuit 12 which will be described later. Connected to the collector terminal. Although details will be described later, the reset circuit 12 is configured to output low for a predetermined period when the power is turned on (that is, when the AC input unit 2 is connected to the commercial AC power supply). As a feature of the D-type flip-flop, when low is input to the terminal PR, the input has priority over the input to the terminal D or the terminal CK. Therefore, when the power is turned on, the output from the terminal Q is high. , The output from terminal QN is initialized to low.

IC1 has a terminal VCC and a terminal GND. In the IC1, both the terminal Vcc and the terminal GND are connected to a wiring connecting + Vcc and the reference potential, whereby an operating voltage is applied to the IC1 and the IC1 is driven.

Each end of a capacitor C9 for noise prevention is connected between the terminal Vcc and the terminal GND. One end of the resistor R14 is connected to the terminal PR, and the other end is connected to the reference potential. The capacitor C10 is connected in parallel with the resistor R14. The capacitor C10 thus connected is charged when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power source, and is discharged when the AC input unit 2 and the commercial AC power source are removed. Therefore, it is possible to delay the input of the output from the transistor Q4 of the reset circuit 12 described later to the terminal PR during the period from when the power is turned on until the capacitor C10 is charged.

The switching circuit 10 is a circuit that switches between conduction and interruption of the power line 4a based on the output from the terminal Q of the latch circuit 9 or the output from the push detection circuit 11 described later (output from the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6). It is. The switching circuit 10 includes five resistors R22 to R26, a transistor Q9, a diode D8, and a valve circuit 10a.

The transistor Q9 is for switching on and off according to the state of output from the terminal Q of the latch circuit 9 and the state of output from the push detection circuit 11 described later. Composed. The emitter terminal of the transistor Q9 is connected to one end of the resistor R24. The base terminal of the transistor Q9 is connected to one end of the resistor R23. The collector terminal of the transistor Q9 is connected to the anode of the diode D8 for preventing reverse current.

The end of the resistor R24 to which the transistor Q9 is not connected is connected to one end of the resistor R22. A connection point between the resistor R24 and the resistor R22 is connected to a connection point between the resistor R23 and the transistor Q9. An end of the resistor R22 to which the resistor R24 is not connected is connected to the terminal Q of the latch circuit. The end of the resistor R23 to which the transistor Q9 is not connected is connected to the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 in the push detection circuit 11 described later.

The transistor Q9 and the resistors R22 to R24 wired as described above constitute priority means, and the push detection circuit 11 (transistor) regardless of whether the output of the latch circuit 9 (terminal Q of IC1) is high or low. If the output from the emitter terminal of Q6 is low, the transistor Q9 can be turned on.

The cathode of the diode D8 is connected to one end of the resistor R25, and the other end of the resistor R25 is connected to one end of the resistor R26. The other end of the resistor R26 is connected between the gate electrodes of the two field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 in the valve circuit 10a.

The valve circuit 10a is a circuit that conducts the power line 4a when the transistor Q9 is on, and cuts off the power line 4a when the transistor Q9 is off, and includes two field effect transistors Q8 and Q10, a resistor R27, The capacitor C13, a Zener diode D7, and two coils L3 and L4 are included.

Electrolytic effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are each composed of a metal oxide type electrolytic effect transistor (MOS-FET). In this embodiment, n-channel depletion type MOS-FETs are used as the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10. These field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned on by a current flowing from the transistor Q9 when the transistor Q9 is turned on. When the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned on, the power line 4a becomes conductive, and power from the commercial AC power source connected via the AC input unit 2 is supplied to the electronic musical instrument 100 via the AC output unit 3. Can be supplied.

The gate electrode of the field effect transistor Q8 is connected to the gate electrode of the field effect transistor Q10, and the source electrode of the field effect transistor Q8 is connected to the source electrode of the field effect transistor Q10. That is, the field effect transistor Q8 and field effect transistor Q10 are connected in parallel.

The drain electrode of the field effect transistor Q8 is connected to one end of the coil L3, and the other end of the coil L3 is connected to the first input terminal 2a of the AC input unit 2 through the power line 4a. On the other hand, the drain electrode of the field effect transistor Q10 is connected to one end of the coil L4, and the other end of the coil L4 is connected to the first output terminal 3a of the AC output unit 3 through the power line 4a.

The resistor R27 has one end connected to the gate electrodes of the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 and the other end connected to the source electrode. Capacitor C13 also has one end connected to the gate electrodes of field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 and the other end connected to the source electrode. Capacitor C13 functions to create a delay time for preventing malfunction when field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned on. The Zener diode D7 is for protecting the valve circuit 10a. The cathode is connected to the gate electrodes of the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10, and the anode is connected to the source electrode.

The push detection circuit 11 is a circuit that detects whether or not the operation switch 50 is being pushed (operated), and includes one transistor Q6 and a part of the detection circuit 8 described above (transistor Q2, resistors R8 and R9). , Capacitor C7 and diode D2).

The transistor Q6 is for switching on and off according to the state of the output from the collector terminal of the transistor Q2 in the detection circuit 8, and is composed of a PNP transistor.

The emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 is connected to the end of the resistor R23 (part of the switching circuit 10) that is not connected to the transistor Q9, and the base terminal is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor Q2 in the detection circuit 8. The collector terminal of transistor Q6 is connected to a reference potential.

The reset circuit 12 is a latch circuit when the power is turned on (that is, when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power supply) or when there is an input signal (power management input) from the control device of the electronic musical instrument 100. 9 is a circuit for inputting low to 9 preset terminals (terminal PR). The reset circuit 12 includes a transistor Q4, five resistors R15 to R19, a capacitor C11, a diode D6, and a photocoupler 12a.

The transistor Q4 is for switching on and off according to the state of the base terminal, and is composed of a PNP type transistor. The emitter terminal of the transistor Q4 is connected to + Vcc, and the base terminal is connected to the emitter terminal of the phototransistor Q11 in the photocoupler 12a. The collector terminal of the transistor Q4 is connected to the terminal PR of the latch circuit 9.

The resistor R17 has one end connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q4 and the other end connected to one end of the resistor R16. The other end of the resistor R16 is connected to the anode of a backflow current preventing diode D6. The cathode of the diode D6 is connected to one end of the resistor R15, and the other end of the resistor R15 is connected to the reference potential.

The resistor R18 has one end connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q4 and the other end connected to the emitter terminal of the transistor Q4. The capacitor C11 is for delaying a period from when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power supply until high is output to the terminal PR (preset terminal) of the latch circuit 9, and one end of the capacitor C11 is a resistor. R18 is connected to the side to which the emitter terminal of transistor Q4 is connected, and the other end is connected to the side of resistor R17 to which the base terminal of transistor Q4 is not connected. The resistor R19 is connected in parallel with the capacitor C11. The delay time by the capacitor C11 is designed to be longer than the delay time by the capacitor 10 of the latch circuit 9 described above.

The photocoupler 12a includes a light emitting diode D9 that is a light emitting element and a phototransistor Q11 that is a light receiving element. The anode of the light emitting diode D9 is connected to the terminal 51a in the connector 51 to which the cable 102 is connected from the electronic musical instrument 100, and the cathode is connected to the terminal 51b. The collector terminal of the phototransistor Q11 is connected to + Vcc, and the emitter terminal is connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q4 in the reset circuit 12.

When there is a control signal input (power management input) from the control device of the electronic musical instrument 100 or another device, the photocoupler 12a emits light from the light emitting diode D9, and the light emission turns on the phototransistor Q11. Is output. As a result, the transistor Q4 of the reset circuit 12 is turned off, and a low is output from the collector terminal of the transistor Q4 to the terminal PR of the IC1 (latch circuit 9). Then, a high is output from the terminal Q of the IC1, and as a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 of the valve circuit 10a are turned off, and the power supply to the electronic musical instrument 100 is cut off (turned off).

Next, the operation of the electronic switch device 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of the electronic switch device 1. In FIG. 3, (a) shows the state of AC input, and specifically indicates whether or not the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power source. (B) shows the operation state of the operation switch 50 (the state of the secondary coil L2 of the transformer TR1). (C) is an output from the oscillation circuit 6 and shows a state at point A in FIG. (D) is the output of the detection circuit 8, and shows the state of point B in FIG. (E) is the output of the latch circuit 9 and shows the state at point C in FIG. (F) is an output of the push detection circuit 11 and shows the state of point D in FIG. (G) is a power management input from the control device of the electronic musical instrument 100, and shows the state of point E in FIG. (H) is an output from the reset circuit 12, and shows the state of point F in FIG. (I) shows the state of the AC output. Specifically, power is supplied from the AC input unit 3 to the electronic musical instrument 100 (ie, ON) or is interrupted (ie, OFF). Indicate.

At time t0, when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power source and is turned on without pressing the operation switch 50 (that is, with the hand released from the operation switch 50), the reset circuit 12 Based on the operating voltage + Vcc, a current flows through the discharged capacitor C11, and electric charge is gradually stored in the capacitor C11. At this time, since the potentials of the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor Q4 are equal, the transistor Q4 is turned off. As a result, the output at point F at time t0 is low.

The output from the reset circuit 12 to the latch circuit 9 is input to the terminal PR (preset terminal) of the IC1. Therefore, when low is input to the terminal PR of the IC1 at time t0, the output from the terminal Q of the IC1 is preferentially high. That is, the output from the terminal Q of the IC1 at the time t0, that is, the output at the point C is high.

After that, when the amount of charge stored in the capacitor C11 of the reset circuit 12 reaches a predetermined threshold at time t1 (for example, 0.5 seconds after power-on), a voltage is applied between the terminals of the resistor R18. As a result, the transistor Q4 is turned on by the potential difference between the terminals of the resistor R18. Therefore, at time t1, the output from the reset circuit 12 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the output at the point F becomes high, and high is input to the terminal PR of IC1. Thus, after time t1, the output from the terminal Q of the IC 1 in the latch circuit 9 (that is, the output at the point C) changes according to the state of the signal input to the terminal CK.

On the other hand, when the AC input unit 2 is connected to the commercial AC power source and turned on without pressing the operation switch 50 at time t0, the operating voltage + Vcc is divided by the resistor R2 and the resistor R3. Is done. The transistor Q1 is turned on by the potential difference between the terminals of the resistor R2 due to this voltage division.

When the transistor Q1 is turned on, oscillation of the Colpitts oscillation circuit (transistor Q1, oscillation unit G, resistors R2 to R4) is started. At time t0, the operation switch 50 is not pressed down, and the secondary coil L2 in the transformer TR1 is opened. Therefore, the Colpitts oscillation is generated by the oscillation of the resonance circuit 7 (transistor Q1, capacitor C3, primary coil L1). Blocking oscillation occurs in the circuit. As the blocking oscillation signal, an AC component from which a DC component is separated by the capacitor C5 is input to the detection circuit 8. Therefore, an output signal (blocking oscillation signal) is detected at point A.

Blocking oscillation generated in the oscillation circuit 6 due to the presence of the resonance circuit 7 is input to the detection circuit 8. In the blocking oscillation output from the oscillation circuit 6, the voltage amplitude is not sufficiently large in the initial stage of oscillation, and a sufficient potential difference does not occur between the resistors R8 and R9, so that the transistor Q2 is not turned on. However, since the capacitor C7 is discharged before the power is turned on, when the power is turned on (time t0), the potential difference between both ends of the resistors R10 and R11 becomes equal, and the transistor Q3 is turned off. Therefore, the state of point B at time t0 is low.

Thereafter, when the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation signal becomes sufficiently large, a potential difference is generated between the resistors R8 and R9, and the potential difference generated at both ends of the resistor R9 is the base-emitter voltage (usually 0.6 to 0) of the transistor Q2. .7V), the transistor Q2 is turned on.

Note that the time (delay time) from when the power is turned on until the predetermined amount of charge is stored in the capacitor C7 is detected by the detection circuit 8 after the blocking oscillation signal starts oscillating. It is set to be sufficiently larger than the time until the oscillation becomes sufficiently large (oscillation stabilization time). Therefore, after the power is turned on, the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation signal is sufficiently increased and the transistor Q2 is turned on before the transistor Q3 is turned on due to a predetermined amount of charge stored in the capacitor C7. Since C7 is discharged, the state of point B does not become high when the power is turned on.

The output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9 is input to the terminal CK (clock terminal) of the IC 1 as a clock signal. Since the IC 1 of the latch circuit 9 is configured as a positive edge trigger type D-type flip-flop, the output from the terminal Q does not change when low is input to the terminal CK. Further, as described above, at time t0, low is input from the reset circuit 12 to the terminal PR of the IC1 and is preferentially initialized to high, so that the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t0. That is, the state of the point C becomes high.

On the other hand, when the power is turned on at time t0, the potential of the base terminal of the transistor Q6 is close to + Vcc due to the capacitor C7 discharged before the power is turned on until the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation signal becomes sufficiently large. It becomes. Therefore, when the power is turned on (time t0), the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 rises and the state of the point D becomes high.

Thereafter, when the electric charge is gradually stored in the capacitor C7, the potential of the base terminal of the transistor Q6 gradually decreases, and the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 also decreases accordingly. However, as described above, the delay time due to the capacitor C7 is set sufficiently larger than the oscillation stabilization time, so that the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation signal becomes sufficiently large before the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 is lowered. Q2 turns on. As a result, the potential of the base terminal of the transistor Q6 again approaches + Vcc, so that the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 can be raised, and the state at the point D is also kept high.

In the open / close circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is high and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is high, the potential difference between the terminals of the resistors R22 to R24 is small. Q9 turns off.

When the transistor Q9 is off, no current flows through the valve circuit 10a. Therefore, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are not turned on because the gate voltage (the voltage between the gate electrode and the source electrode) is 0V ( That is, it is off). Therefore, at time t0, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are off, so that the power line 4a is not conducted (cut off), and the output from the AC output unit 3 is 0 V (ie, off).

As described above, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, the output of high from the reset circuit 12 to the terminal PR of the IC1 (latch circuit 9) is delayed by the capacitor C11 after the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, low is input from the reset circuit 12 to the terminal PR. Thereby, it is possible to output high from the latch circuit 9 (terminal Q of IC1) when the power is turned on. On the other hand, if the operation switch 50 is not pressed, a low is not output from the push detection circuit 11 when the power is turned on due to a delay caused by the capacitor C7 of the detection circuit 8. Therefore, when the power is turned on without pressing down the operation switch 50, the power line 4a is not turned on, and the output from the AC output unit 3 can be always turned off.

When the operation switch 50 is pressed (operated) at time t2, the secondary coil L2 in the transformer TR1 is short-circuited. As a result, the inductor value of the primary coil L1 gradually decreases, and the oscillation of the Colpitts oscillation circuit (oscillation unit G) is gradually stopped. As a result, the output from the oscillation circuit 6 becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined level (for example, 0 V) at time t3 slightly delayed from time t2 when the operation switch 50 is pressed.

At time t3, when the output from the oscillation circuit 6 becomes a predetermined level or less, the potential difference between the resistors R8 and R9 becomes small, so that the transistor Q2 is turned off. When the transistor Q2 is turned off, the operating voltage + Vcc is divided by the resistor R10, the resistor R11, and the resistor R12. As a result, the potential difference between both ends of the resistor R10 is between the base and the emitter of the transistor Q3. The voltage becomes higher than the voltage, and the transistor Q3 is turned on. Thereby, at time t3, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the state of the point B is switched from low to high.

Therefore, at time t3, when the input to the terminal CK of IC1 rises from low to high, the high-to-low output from the terminal Q so far is switched in synchronization with the rising edge. As a result, the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t3, that is, the output at the point C is switched from high to low.

On the other hand, since the transistor Q2 is turned off at time t3, the potential of the base terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection means 11 decreases, and as a result, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 decreases. As a result, the state of the point D becomes low.

In the switching circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is low and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is low, the potential difference between both terminals of the resistor R24 is larger than the base-emitter voltage of the transistor Q9. Thus, the transistor Q9 is turned on.

When the transistor Q9 is on, a current flows through the valve circuit 10a, so that the gate voltages of the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 rise, and as a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned on. Therefore, at time t3, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned on, so that the power line 4a is conducted, whereby power is output from the AC output unit 3 (that is, turned on).

After that, at time t4, when the operation switch 50 is not pressed down (the hand is released from the operation switch 50), the secondary coil L2 is opened, so that the oscillation circuit 6 starts outputting blocking oscillation again. At time t5, when the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation output from the oscillation circuit 6 becomes sufficiently large, the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 is turned on, and accordingly, the transistor Q3 is turned off. As a result, at time t5, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the state of the point B is switched from high to low.

The output from the terminal Q does not change even if a falling edge from high to low is input to the terminal CK of the positive edge trigger type IC1. Therefore, the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t5, that is, the output at the point C remains low.

On the other hand, when the operation switch 50 is no longer pressed and the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 is switched from OFF to ON at time t5, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection circuit 11 also increases. Therefore, at time t5, the output from the push detection circuit 11 to the switching circuit 10, that is, the output at the point D switches from low to high.

In the open / close circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is low and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is high, the transistor Q9 is turned on due to a potential difference generated between both terminals of the resistor R24. That is, at time t5, the transistor Q9 remains on. As a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 of the valve circuit 10a also remain on, and power is continuously output from the AC output unit 3.

Thereafter, when the operation switch 50 is pressed for the second time at time t6, the output from the oscillation circuit 6 becomes a predetermined level or less at time t7 because the secondary coil L2 is short-circuited.

When the output from the oscillation circuit 6 falls below a predetermined level, the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 is turned off, and accordingly, the transistor Q3 is turned on. Therefore, at time t7, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the state at the point B is switched from low to high.

As a result, the input to the terminal CK of the IC1 rises from low to high, and in synchronization with the rising edge, the output from the terminal Q of the IC1 is inverted and switched from low to high. As a result, the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t7, that is, the output at the point C is switched from low to high.

On the other hand, when the operation switch 50 is pressed and the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 switches from on to off at time t7, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection circuit 11 also decreases. Therefore, at time t7, the output from the push detection circuit 11 to the switching circuit 10, that is, the output at the point D switches from high to low.

In the open / close circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is high and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is low, the transistor Q9 is turned on due to a potential difference generated between both terminals of the resistor R24. That is, at time t7, the transistor Q9 remains on. As a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 of the valve circuit 10a also remain on and the power is continuously output from the AC output unit 3.

After that, at time t8, when the operation switch 50 is not pressed down and the secondary coil L2 is opened, the oscillation circuit 6 starts outputting blocking oscillation again. When the voltage amplitude becomes sufficiently large at time t9, the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 is turned on, and accordingly, the transistor Q3 is turned off. As a result, at time t9, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the state of the point B is switched from high to low.

Thereby, the input to the terminal CK of the IC1 falls from high to low, but even if a falling edge is inputted to the terminal CK, the output from the terminal Q does not change, so the output from the terminal Q does not change. Therefore, the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t9, that is, the output at the point C remains high.

On the other hand, when the operation switch 50 is no longer pressed and the transistor Q2 of the detection circuit 8 is switched from OFF to ON at time t9, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection circuit 11 also increases. Therefore, at time t9, the output from the push detection circuit 11 to the switching circuit 10, that is, the output at the point D switches from low to high.

In the switching circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is high and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is high, the transistor Q9 is turned off. As a result, the field effect transistor Q8 of the valve circuit 10a is turned off. , Q10 is turned off. Therefore, at time t9, the output from the AC output unit 3 is 0 V (that is, off).

After that, when the operation switch 50 is pressed for the third time at time t10, the output from the oscillation circuit 6 is at a predetermined level at time t11 as a result of the secondary coil L2 being short-circuited, as in time t2. It becomes as follows. Therefore, at time t11, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9, that is, the state of the point B is switched from low to high. As a result, the output from the terminal Q of the IC 1 in the latch circuit 9 is inverted. Therefore, at time t11, the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 (the output at point C) is switched from high to low.

On the other hand, when the operation switch 50 is pressed, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection circuit 11 is lowered. Therefore, at time t11, the output from the push detection circuit 11 to the switching circuit 10, that is, at the point D. The output switches from high to low.

In the switching circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is high and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is low, the transistor Q9 is turned on, and accordingly, the field effect transistors Q8, Q8, Q10 turns on. Therefore, at time t11, power is output again from the AC output unit 3 (that is, turned on).

Thereafter, when the operation switch 50 is not depressed at time t12, a blocking oscillation is output from the oscillation circuit 6 as at time t4. When the voltage amplitude becomes sufficiently large at time t13, the detection circuit 8 To the latch circuit 9 (ie, the output at point B) switches from high to low. Therefore, the input to the terminal CK of the IC1 falls from high to low, but in this case, the output from the terminal Q does not change, so the output from the latch circuit 9 to the switching circuit 10 at time t13 remains low. It does not change.

On the other hand, when the operation switch 50 is not pressed down, the potential of the emitter terminal of the transistor Q6 of the push detection circuit 11 rises. Therefore, at time t13, the output from the push detection circuit 11 to the switching circuit 10 is switched from low to high. Change.

In the open / close circuit 10, when the output from the latch circuit 9 is low and the output from the push detection circuit 11 is high, the transistor Q9 is turned on. That is, at time 13, since the transistor Q9 remains on, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 of the valve circuit 10a also remain on. As a result, power is output from the AC output unit 3 ( That is, it remains on).

When the non-use time of the electronic musical instrument 100 exceeds a predetermined time, the control device (CPU) of the electronic musical instrument 100 performs power management input to the electronic switch device 100. When this power management input is input via the connector 51 at time t14, the phototransistor Q11 in the photocoupler 12a is turned on, whereby the input at point E is high. As a result, the potential of the base terminal of the transistor Q4 becomes high, and the voltage applied between the base terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor Q4 becomes lower than the base-emitter voltage of the transistor Q4. As a result, the transistor Q4 is turned off. It becomes. Therefore, the output at point F at time t14 is low.

Since the transistor Q4 is turned off, a low input is made to the terminal PR of the IC1 in the latch circuit 9, so that the output from the terminal Q of the IC1 becomes preferentially high. Therefore, the output at point C at time t14 is high.

Therefore, at time t14, in the switching circuit 10, the output from the latch circuit 9 is high. On the other hand, since the operation switch 50 is not pressed, the output from the press detection circuit 11 is also high. As a result, the transistor Q9 is turned off, and as a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 are turned off. As described above, at time t14 when the power management is input, the output from the AC output unit 3 is turned off.

After the output from the AC output unit 3 is turned off by the power management input from the electronic musical instrument 100, the operation waits for the operation switch 50 to be pressed, but waits with the output from the latch circuit 9 returned to high. Therefore, the next press of the operation switch 50 can be handled as a switch-on operation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent power from being supplied to the electronic musical instrument 100 even when the user presses the operation switch 50.

As described above, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, by using the primary side coil L1 in the transformer TR1 as a coil in the resonance circuit 7, the presence / absence of operation of the operation switch 50 is changed to a blocking oscillation state. The electric power from the commercial AC power supply can be supplied to or cut off from the electronic musical instrument 100. Here, since the operation switch 50 is provided on the side of the secondary coil L2 insulated from the primary coil L1, even if an inexpensive operation switch component that does not comply with the safety standards of each country is used as the operation switch 50. , User safety can be ensured.

Further, since the secondary side coil L2 to which the operation switch 50 is connected and the primary side coil L1 are insulated, the electric wire connecting the secondary side coil L2 and the operation switch 50 is also expensive for high voltage. An inexpensive electric wire can be used instead of a simple electric wire. Further, since the length of the electric wire can be increased freely without considering radiation noise by being electrically insulated from the commercial AC power supply, the arrangement of the electronic switch device 1 and the operation switch 50 ( Layout) can be changed freely.

Further, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, after the power from the commercial AC power source to the electronic musical instrument 100 is cut off, the power can be supplied again by operating the mechanical operation switch 50. It is possible to eliminate the need for electric power to wait for an electrical switch input, thereby eliminating waste of power consumption.

Further, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, even if the oscillation circuit 6 is designed to save power by blocking the oscillation of the oscillation circuit 6 by providing the resonance circuit 7, the detection operation in the detection circuit 8 can be performed. A voltage amplitude sufficient to stabilize can be obtained.

Further, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, the power from the commercial AC power source to the electronic musical instrument 100 is cut off (off) by the power management input from the control device of the electronic musical instrument 100 that is the power usage unit or other equipment. Therefore, useless power is not consumed when the electronic musical instrument 100 is not used. The operation switch 50 is an unlatch type switch, and unlike the latch type switch, the state is fixed even when it is not operated until the next operation is performed. Since both ends of the secondary coil L2 are opened, if the power is cut off by the power management input from the control device of the electronic musical instrument 100, the power can be cut off reliably. The input for turning off the electronic switch device 100 from the electronic musical instrument 100 is not limited to the power management input that is output when not in use, and various inputs can be applied according to the design of the electronic musical instrument 100.

Here, according to the electronic switch device 1, since an unlatch type switch is used as the operation switch 50, both ends of the secondary coil L2 of the transformer TR1 are always opened when not operated. Therefore, when power is interrupted by the power management input input from the electronic musical instrument 100, the power can be reliably interrupted, and the power management input is performed, depending on the state of the operation switch 50. It is possible to prevent the power from being unnecessarily consumed without being shut off.

Further, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, since the positive edge trigger type flip-flop IC is used as the latch circuit 9, the latch circuit 9 (IC1 of the IC1) is output every time the output from the detection circuit 8 rises twice. The output from terminal Q) is restored. Therefore, the output of the latch circuit 9 can distinguish between an operation for switching on and an operation for switching off in an unlatch type switch. An unlatch type switch can be used as the operation switch 50.

Further, according to the electronic switch device 1 of the present embodiment, from when the power is turned on (the AC input unit 2 is connected to the commercial AC power supply) until high is output to the terminal PR (preset terminal) of the latch circuit 9. Since the reset circuit 12 has the capacitor C11 for delaying the period, a low is always output to the terminal PR of the latch circuit 9 when the power is turned on. Therefore, when the power is turned on, high is output from the terminal Q of the latch circuit 9, so that power is not supplied from the AC output unit 3 unless the operation switch 50 is operated. This can prevent the electronic musical instrument 100 from being unintentionally driven when the AC input unit 2 is connected to a commercial AC power supply.

On the other hand, while the operation switch 50 is being pressed, the output from the press detection circuit 11 (the output at point D) is always low. If the output from the push detection circuit 11 is low, the resistors R23 to R24 and the transistor Q9 cause the transistor Q9 to be in whatever state the output from the latch circuit 9 (the output at point C) is. As a result, the field effect transistors Q8 and Q10 of the valve circuit 10a are turned on, and power can be output from the AC output unit 3. Therefore, the electronic musical instrument 100 can be driven when the power is turned on by turning on the power while pressing (operating) the operation switch 50 (that is, connecting the AC input unit 2 to the commercial AC power).

As described above, the present invention has been described based on the embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be easily made without departing from the gist of the present invention. It can be done.

For example, in the above embodiment, an unlatch type switch is used as the operation switch 50, but a latch type switch may be used.

In the above embodiment, the oscillation circuit 6 is configured as a Colpitts oscillation circuit. However, other types of oscillation circuits (for example, a Hartley oscillation circuit) may be used as the oscillation circuit 6. The ceramic oscillator H may be another type of oscillator such as a crystal oscillator.

In the above embodiment, the resonance circuit 7 is configured such that each end of the primary coil L1 and the capacitor C3 connected in series is connected to the emitter terminal and the base terminal of the transistor Q1, but the primary coil L1 is Another form of circuit that includes at least the coil and can generate blocking oscillation in the oscillation circuit 6 may be used.

In the above embodiment, the detection circuit 8 is configured to output the detection result as a binary value to the latch circuit 9. However, an analog amount based on the voltage amplitude of the blocking oscillation is directly output from the detection circuit 8 to the switching circuit 10. The switching circuit 10 may be configured to provide a threshold value so as to switch between conduction and interruption.

In the above embodiment, the oscillation circuit 6 and the resonance circuit 7 including the primary coil L1 and the capacitor C3 are provided, and the oscillation by the resonance circuit 7 causes blocking oscillation to the oscillation circuit 6 (the oscillation unit G). However, the circuit before the point A (that is, the circuit that outputs a signal to the detection circuit 8) oscillates when the secondary coil L2 is open. If the configuration is such that the oscillation stops when the secondary coil is short-circuited (or the oscillation voltage amplitude is not detected by the detection circuit 8 at the subsequent stage), it can be applied to the electronic switch device 1.

For example, the electronic switch device 1 can be configured without providing a resonance circuit, that is, without causing blocking oscillation in the oscillation circuit. FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing an oscillation circuit 60 as a modification. In the oscillation circuit 60, components having the same functions as those of the oscillation circuit 6 (see FIG. 1) described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

The oscillation circuit 60 shown in FIG. 4 includes five resistors R1, R51 to R54, an electrolytic capacitor C1, five capacitors C2, C5, C51, C52, and C103, two PNP transistors Q51 and Q52, and a primary It is comprised from the side coil L1. The oscillation circuit 60 is provided in the electronic switch device 1 of FIG. 1 described above in place of the oscillation circuit 6 and the resonance circuit 7. Specifically, the emitter terminal of the transistor Q52 is connected to the cathode (ie, + Vcc) of the diode D2 in the detection circuit 8. Further, the end of the capacitor C5 that is not connected to the collector terminal of the transistor Q52 (that is, the end on the A point side) is connected to the end of the resistor R8 that is not connected to the base terminal of the transistor Q2.

Among the components constituting the oscillation circuit 60, a circuit constituted by four resistors R51 to R54, two capacitors C51 and C52, and two transistors Q51 and Q52 is an astable multivibrator oscillation circuit. In the oscillation circuit 60, one end of the capacitor C103 is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor Q51 in this unstable multivibrator oscillation circuit, and the other end of the capacitor C103 is connected to one end of the primary coil L1. The other end of primary side coil L1 is connected to the collector terminal of transistor Q52.

When the secondary coil L2 is opened, the oscillation circuit 60 having such a configuration can generate an oscillation signal generated by the unstable multivibrator oscillation circuit (transistors Q51 and Q52, resistors R51 to R54, capacitors C51 and C52) as A. Output from the point. On the other hand, when the secondary coil L2 is short-circuited by operating the operation switch 50, as in the oscillation circuit 6, the unstable multi-phase in the oscillation circuit 60 is reduced due to the decrease in the inductor value of the primary coil L1. The oscillation of the vibrator oscillation circuit stops.

As described above, the state of the output from the oscillation circuit 60 (input to the detection circuit 8) changes to reflect the state (open or shorted) of both ends of the secondary coil L2 in response to pressing of the operation switch 50. Therefore, the oscillation circuit 60 can be applied as a configuration of the electronic switch device 1 that replaces the oscillation circuit 6 and the resonance circuit 7. When such an oscillation circuit 60 is used, the oscillation circuit can be configured at a lower cost than the oscillation circuit 6 including the ceramic oscillator H.

Further, instead of the oscillation circuit 60 as the oscillation means and the detection circuit 8 as the detection means, the oscillation means and the detection means may be configured by the primary coil L1 and the one-chip microcomputer. That is, a configuration may be adopted in which oscillation and detection of the oscillation are performed by a one-chip microcomputer.

In the above embodiment, the detection circuit 8 is exemplified by a flip-flop circuit including six resistors R8 to R13, a diode D2, a capacitor C7, and two transistors Q2 and Q3. May be.

In the above embodiment, every time the operation switch 50 is operated, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9 rises. However, every time the operation switch 50 is operated, the output from the detection circuit 8 to the latch circuit 9. May fall. In such a case, the IC 1 of the latch circuit 9 may be of a negative edge trigger type.

In the above embodiment, the valve circuit 10a in the switching circuit 10 is configured to use MOS-FETs (electrolytic effect transistors Q8, Q10) as components for switching between conduction and interruption of the power line 4a. Alternatively, an insulating gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or the like may be used.

In the above embodiment, the circuit is configured using a PNP transistor as the transistor, but the circuit may be configured using an NPN transistor.

Moreover, although the electronic switch apparatus 1 of the said embodiment shall switch supply and interruption | blocking of the electric power from the commercial AC power supply to the electronic musical instrument 100 which is an electric power use part, DC power supply is used as a power supply source, and this DC power supply The power supply unit may be configured to switch between supply and interruption of power, and in such a case, the same effect as the electronic switch device 1 of the above embodiment can be obtained.
