Further, since the switch 102 is not provided, the parasitic capacitance C2 does not affect the detection of the capacitance C3. That is, since the contact detection circuit 106 is connected to the GND via the resistor and the inductor which are about half (or part) of the wiring pattern, the detection sensitivity of the capacitance C3 can be improved as compared with the conventional technique.
- the wiring pattern of the heating wire 103 functions as an inductor, it is not necessary to add a new element for the inductor when sufficient impedance can be obtained with a part of the wiring pattern. That is, the sensitivity of contact detection can be improved with a simple circuit.
- FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the handle heater device according to the first modification of the second embodiment.
- FIG. 11 This modification is different from FIG. 10 in that an adjustment capacitor Ca is added.
- the equivalent circuit of FIG. 11 when the switch 101 is off is a circuit in which both electrodes of C2 are short-circuited in FIG.
- the capacitance value of the adjustment capacitor Ca can be adjusted. Therefore, the sensitivity of the contact detection circuit 106 can be further improved optimally. Further, the degree of freedom in designing the handle heater and the contact detection circuit 106 can be improved.
- FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the handle heater device according to the second modification of the second embodiment.
- This modification is different from FIG. 10 in that an inductance element 135 is disposed between one end of the heating wire 103 and GND.
- the contact detection circuit 106 and GND are prevented from being directly connected by a part of the wiring pattern of the heating wire 103 and the inductance element 135 which is an external inductor.
- the inductance element 135 may be added in this way.
- FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the handle heater device according to the third embodiment.
- the handle heater device according to the present embodiment includes a heater wire 103A (first heating wire 103), a heater wire 103B (second heating wire 103), and a contact detection circuit S1 connected to the heater wire 103A.
- a contact detection circuit S2 connected to the heater wire 103B, a switch 101 connected to one end of each of the heater wires 103A and 103B, a switch 102 connected to the other end of each of the heater wires 103A and 103B, and a contact detection circuit S1 and S2.
- a control circuit 170 for controlling is included.
- the wiring pattern of the heater wires 103A and 103B has a connection point 104J with the lead wire 104 in the middle thereof. That is, when the contact detection circuits S1 and S2 are operated, a part of the wiring pattern of each of the heater wires 103A and 103B is interposed between the switch 102 and the contact detection circuits S1 and S2. That is, the influence of the parasitic capacitance C2 on the detection of the capacitance C3 can be reduced or eliminated, and a handle heater device with good contact detection sensitivity can be provided.
- a plurality of heating wires and contact detection circuits are arranged, but as shown in FIG. 13, the power supply line and the switch 101, the GND line and the switch 102 are shared by the heater wires 103A and 103B.
- the heater wires 103 ⁇ / b> A and 103 ⁇ / b> B are preferably arranged on the left side and the right side with respect to the center when the steering handle 40 is in the normal position. According to this configuration, the right hand and left hand can be detected efficiently, so the overall efficiency of the handle heater device also serving as contact detection is good.
- FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the handle heater device according to the first modification of the third embodiment.
- FIG. 13 is different from FIG. 13 in that the contact detection circuit S2 is not provided, and the continuous heating wire 103 is arranged separately as a heater wire 103C and a heater wire 103D. Further, unlike the second embodiment, there is no switch 102 and one end of the heater wire 103D is connected to GND.
- the heater wires 103C and 103D are a continuous heating wire 103, and are drawn out from the connection point 104J in the middle of the wiring pattern by the lead wire 104 and connected to the contact detection circuit S1.
- the heater wires 103C and 103D in FIG. 15 are respectively arranged on the left side and the right side of the steering handle 40, similarly to the heater wires 103A and 103B in FIG.
- the contact detection circuit S1, the power supply line, the switch 101, and the GND line can be shared for a plurality of heater wires arranged on the steering handle, rather than mounting the two handle heater devices of the second embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size and power consumption of the handle heater device.
- the parasitic capacitance C2 does not affect the detection of the capacitance C3, and the contact detection circuit S1 is not connected between the contact detection circuit S1 and the GND during the operation of the contact detection circuit S1.
- the detection sensitivity of the contact detection circuit S1 can be improved as compared with the prior art. Since the wiring pattern functions as an inductor, the sensitivity of contact detection can be improved with a simple circuit without newly adding an inductor element.
- FIG. 16 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the handle heater device according to the second modification of the third embodiment.
- This modification is different from FIG. 15 in that an inductance element 135 is added to the GND line. With this configuration, it is possible to compensate for a case where sufficient impedance cannot be obtained with only the heater wire 103D.
- the contact detection circuits 106, S 1, and S 2 are connected to the lead line 104 via the coupling capacitor 105, but a diode may be used instead of the coupling capacitor 105.
- the anode of the diode is connected to the contact detection circuits 106, S1, and S2, and the cathode is connected to the lead wire 104.
- the coupling capacitor 105 may be deleted and the contact detection circuits 106, S1, S2 and the lead line 104 may be directly connected.
- Embodiments 1 to 3 and modifications thereof have been described as examples of the technology disclosed in the present application, but the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to these. Unless it deviates from the gist of the technology in the present disclosure, various modifications conceived by those skilled in the art and configurations constructed by combining components in different embodiments are also included in the scope of the technology in the present disclosure.
- the present invention can be used as a handle heater device that determines whether or not a human hand touches a steering handle of a vehicle or the like.
