This is accomplished by providing a vehicle reflective optical sensor that uses the summed value.
- the threshold value for detection determination used for detection of an over-threshold state is an adjustment value obtained by statistically processing an appropriate number of reflected lights 4 preceding the reflected light 4 to be determined. Since it is obtained by adding a fixed value determined in advance, changes in optical properties such as brightness due to the stop position or the passage of time after the stop are reflected in the judgment criteria, so the stop location, time, etc. It becomes possible to maintain high detection accuracy without being affected, and operational reliability is improved.
- control unit 6 When noise reflected light exceeding a predetermined noise determination threshold is detected in the representative value calculation target, a predetermined number of non-noise lights that do not exceed the predetermined noise determination threshold following the noise reflected light are continuous.
- the threshold value for detection determination can be calculated using a statistical representative value for the light quantity of the continuous non-noise light group as an adjustment value.

If only the amount of reflected light at the time of light emission is used as a criterion, the detection reliability is extremely lowered.
- the present invention by using the difference in the amount of reflected light between light emission and non-light emission as a determination target, it is possible to reliably reduce the determination accuracy due to variations in the reflection characteristics of the background, such as the wall surface of the detection region 1. It becomes possible to prevent.
- the control unit 6 has, for each pulse group, a deviation square sum equivalent value for a difference between a sum of received light amounts in the light receiving unit 5 during light emission and a sum of received light amounts in the light receiving unit 5 during non-light emission for a predetermined test. It is possible to improve the accuracy by performing a test that uses the effective detection light only when it is equal to or less than the threshold value and adopting only the effective detection light as the determination target reflected light 4.

- the amount of received light in the light receiving unit 5 is acquired.
- the acquisition of the amount of light received at the time of light emission with respect to the light emission pulse (pls) takes into account the delay time until the light emission is started after the light emission control unit 6a sends the light emission request of each pulse (pls) to the light emission unit 2.
- the reflected light 4 for each light emission pulse (pls) is obtained at the timing when it reaches the peak, and the value is acquired as the light reception light amount (H) during light emission.
- the received light amount when no light is emitted is acquired at the timing when the light emitting unit 2 transitions from the light emitting state to the non-light emitting state and the afterglow at the time of light emission disappears, and the value is set as the received light amount when not emitting light (L).

- the reflected light amount (P) of the pulse group (PLS) is
- the inclusion of the received light amount (H 1 , L 1 ) for the first pulse and the received light amount (H 8 , L 8 ) for the last pulse should be excluded. This eliminates instability in the transient state.
- the effectiveness of the reflected light 4 of each pulse group obtained as described above is determined by the calculation unit 6c. Effectiveness is the evaluation of the presence of disturbance elements based on the homogeneity of the amount of reflected light within the same pulse group.
- the variation of each pulse within the pulse group, specifically, the value equivalent to the deviation sum of squares is the predetermined effectiveness. When it is larger than the verification threshold (Th val ), it is regarded as invalid data.
- the deviation sum of squares equivalent value is a so-called deviation sum of squares given as the sum of the squares of the difference between the received light amount (P) for each pulse light and the average value, or a variance obtained by dividing the deviation square sum by the number of data. Furthermore, it is possible to use a standard deviation or the like obtained as the square root of the variance. In this example, as shown in the equation (2), the absolute value of the difference between the received light amount of each pulse and the average value is used. The total of the values is substituted and the burden on the control unit 6 is reduced.
- the calculation unit 6c compares the amount of reflected light of the above-described pulse group with a predetermined threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) to detect a threshold value excess state, detect the threshold value excess state, Determines the entry of the detection target 10 into the detection area 1 and outputs the detection confirmation signal for a predetermined time when the detection object 10 enters the detection area 1 is detected, and further outputs the detection confirmation signal.

- This confirmation signal output flag satisfies a predetermined cancellation condition when a threshold exceeding state is detected within a predetermined period after the confirmation signal is output and when a threshold exceeding state is not detected within a predetermined period.
- the calculation unit 6c executes the threshold value excess state detection step.
- the threshold value for detection determination (Th on ), which is a criterion for determining the above threshold excess state, is obtained as the sum of a preset fixed value (Th onfix ) and an adjustment value (Th cal ).
- the fixed value (Th onfix ) is set to about 20 to 30 percent of the validity test threshold value (Th val ).
- the adjustment value (Th cal ) is an average value of the received light quantity of a predetermined number (10 in this example) preceding the determination target pulse group (P n ), as shown in FIGS. 4 and (3). And is calculated by the threshold value calculation unit 6d in the calculation unit 6c.
- the adjustment value (Th cal ) is shown by the arithmetic average of the appropriate number of received light amounts, but if it is a statistical representative value, for example, the mode value, the median value, etc. Can be used.
- the calculation unit 6c performs noise determination using the adjustment value (Th cal ), and when noise is detected, transmits it to the threshold value calculation unit 6d. To do.
- the noise determination is performed by calculating the difference between the received light amount (P n ) of the noise determination target pulse group and the average value of the ten received light amounts preceding the received light amount (P n ), that is, the adjustment value (Th cal ). This is performed by comparing with a predetermined noise determination threshold value (Th nz ), and is determined as noise light by satisfying either of the expressions (4) and (5).
- the noise determination threshold (Th nz ) is set to about 5 to 8 percent of Th onfix .
- the threshold value calculation unit 6d notified of the occurrence of noise observes the received light amount thereafter and determines the stability of the received light amount. Whether or not the stability is determined satisfies (6) with respect to an appropriate number (20 in this example) following the noise pulse group, that is, the reflected light amount is the noise determination threshold value (Th nz ), It is determined whether or not it is non-noise light that falls within the range, and when the expression (6) is satisfied, it is determined that the subsequent pulse group is stable.
- the threshold value calculation unit 6d determines that there is stability with respect to the subsequent pulse group, as shown in the equation (7), the ten light receptions preceding the determination target pulse group (P n + 21 ). If it is determined that there is no stability using the average light intensity as the adjustment value (Th cal ), the average of the 10 received light quantities preceding the noise pulse group (P n ) is adjusted as shown in equation (8). A threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) is determined as a value (Th cal ).
- the operation of the control unit 6 is shown in FIG. First, when the door control unit 9 or a control device such as an in-vehicle computer (not shown) detects that the start condition of the detection operation by the optical sensor (A) is satisfied, the door control unit 9 or the like detects the optical sensor (A). A drive signal is output and the optical sensor (A) is powered on.
- the detection start condition of the optical sensor (A) is set as appropriate, for example, the stop of the vehicle detected by the shift lever position of the vehicle.
- the CPU of the control unit 6 is initialized for a predetermined time (step S1), and then calibration initialization is performed by the threshold value calculation unit 6d (step S2). During the initialization of the calibration, the light emission control unit 6a maintains the pulse group emission interval (T1) at about 15 (ms).
- a predetermined number of pulse groups (10 in this example) are fired to obtain the reflected light quantity (P 1 , P 2... P 10 ) for each pulse group, and the average value is initialized.
- the adjustment value (Th cal ) is used.
- the calculation unit 6c shifts to the threshold excess state in a state where the light emission control unit 6a maintains the light emission interval of the detection light 3 in the intermittent mode with a long period of about 117 (ms). Is monitored (step S3).
- an over-state verification process is then executed (step S5).
- the verification process is for knowing whether or not the detected threshold excess state is an intentional entry operation of the detection target 10 by the user to the detection region 1, and includes a predetermined state including detection of the excess state. Whether or not the threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) has been exceeded continuously (four times in this example) is used as a test pass / fail criterion.
- the threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) in this verification process is the one used when a threshold excess condition is detected to prevent a decrease in verification accuracy due to a change in the adjustment value (Th cal ) during verification. Therefore, satisfying all of the following formulas (10) to (13) is a condition for passing the test.
- step S6 If it is determined that the test is passed as the intended operation satisfying the above conditions (step S6), after setting the confirmation signal output flag, the detection confirmation signal is output for a predetermined time (T4) (about 150 msec) (step S7). ).
- the light emission control unit 6a sets the pulse group (P n + 1 ) immediately after the detection pulse group (P n ) to the long cycle mode with the interval (T2). (Step S51), the light emission interval (T3) is shifted to the short cycle mode shortened to about 20 (msec) (step S52), and after waiting for the output of the detection confirmation signal, the excess state canceling detection mode is set. Transition is made (step S8).
- the excess state elimination detection mode monitors the elimination of the excess state while emitting a pulse group in the long period mode.
- Th offfix is set to about 5 to 8 percent of Th onfix , similarly to Th nz .
- step S8 When the excess state cancellation is detected in step S8 (step S80), the calculation unit 6c resets the confirmation signal output flag and returns to the excess state detection mode to prepare for the detection of the excess state (step S3).
- the threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) in step S3 the subsequent pulse group (P m + 4 , P m + 5 7) Whose initial value is the adjustment value used in the excess state elimination detection mode is used. The average value is used.
- the calculation unit 6c cancels the threshold excess state on condition that the detection restart condition is satisfied.
- the detection restart condition is that a predetermined number (20 in this example) of non-noise light defined by the equation (6) continues, and a confirmation signal is output by eliminating the threshold excess state due to the satisfaction of the detection restart condition.
- the flag is reset and returns to the excess state detection mode again to prepare for the detection of a new threshold excess state (step S9).
- the adjustment value (Th cal ) of the threshold value for detection determination (Th on ) in step S9 the value obtained by the equation (7) is used.
- the detection restart condition can be determined for each single pulse group, but in this example, in order to reduce the burden on the system, as shown in equation (18), 20 Continuous condition matching can be inferred by evaluating the entire pulse group.
