Description

DISPOSITIF TEXTILE APTE À COOPÉRER AVEC UN DISPOSITIF ÉLECTRONIQUE ET DISPOSITIF ÉLECTRONIQUE ASSOCIÉ  TEXTILE DEVICE CAPABLE OF COOPERATING WITH AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION La présente invention concerne le domaine des vêtements intelligents et des systèmes de connexion de circuits électroniques au textile du vêtement intelligent. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of smart clothing and electronic circuit connection systems to the textile of the smart garment.
ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART
Les vêtements et textiles intelligents nécessitent d'intégrer de l'électronique sur des supports compatibles aux contraintes textiles. Pour supporter ces contraintes, les équipements électroniques doivent être flexibles, étanches, et ne doivent pas avoir une épaisseur trop importante susceptible de gêner l'utilisateur. L'électronique doit également être capable de résister à toutes contraintes subies par le textile ou le vêtement dans son utilisation quotidienne (manipulation, lavage, séchage, pliage...). Les vêtements intelligents impliquent souvent d'embarquer des circuits électroniques. Les circuits électroniques comportent un ensemble de composants électroniques souvent interconnectés à l'aide d'un circuit imprimé. La technologie des circuits électroniques a été développée depuis de nombreuses années pour devenir aujourd'hui une technologie mature, avec un coût raisonnable, un contrôle efficace de la qualité, et une capacité à intégrer un nombre de composants élevé comparé aux autres technologies comme les systèmes sur puces (SOC). Un autre avantage dans l'utilisation des circuits électroniques est leur interchangeabilité, par exemple, après la détérioration d'un vêtement. Smart clothing and textiles require the integration of electronics on media compatible with textile constraints. To withstand these constraints, the electronic equipment must be flexible, waterproof, and must not have a thickness that is too great and that may hinder the user. The electronics must also be able to withstand all stresses experienced by the textile or clothing in its daily use (handling, washing, drying, folding ...). Smart clothing often involves shipping electronic circuits. The electronic circuits comprise a set of electronic components often interconnected by means of a printed circuit. Electronic circuit technology has been developed for many years to become a mature technology, with reasonable cost, effective quality control, and an ability to integrate a high number of components compared to other technologies such as systems. on chips (SOC). Another advantage in the use of electronic circuits is their interchangeability, for example, after the deterioration of a garment.
Il convient donc de trouver un moyen de connecter le circuit électronique au textile. Plusieurs alternatives existent mais comportent encore de nombreux inconvénients. Notamment, la plupart des connexions existantes impliquent une forte épaisseur, des parties saillantes qui accrochent d'autres vêtements lors du lavage, des difficultés de positionnement et d'insertion par l'utilisateur ou encore la présence de câbles ou de fils apparents. Il existe tout d'abord la possibilité de connecter les fils conducteurs du textile aux pistes du circuit électronique par soudage afin de connecter la zone conductrice du textile au circuit électronique. Ce procédé permet de limiter à la fois la taille et la masse des dispositifs connectés au textile. Cependant, le processus de soudage de chaque composant à chaque fils ou partie conductrice du textile est long et difficile à automatiser. De plus, cette méthode tend à concentrer les contraintes au niveau de l'axe de la soudure et augmente le risque de cassure du fil conducteur du textile soudé. It is therefore necessary to find a way to connect the electronic circuit to the textile. Several alternatives exist but still have many disadvantages. In particular, most existing connections involve a large thickness, protruding parts that hang other clothes during washing, difficulties in positioning and insertion by the user or the presence of cables or exposed son. There is first of all the possibility of connecting the conductive threads of the textile to the tracks of the electronic circuit by welding in order to connect the conductive zone of the textile to the electronic circuit. This method makes it possible to limit both the size and the mass of the devices connected to the textile. However, the process of welding each component to each son or conductive part of the textile is long and difficult to automate. In addition, this method tends to concentrate the stresses at the axis of the weld and increases the risk of breaking the conductive thread of the welded textile.
On connaît également une méthode consistant à installer des fermoirs pour connecter le dispositif électronique et le textile. Le fermoir est ainsi relié de manière détachable, d'un coté au textile, de l'autre au circuit électronique. Cependant, la connexion ne se fait que sur un ou plusieurs points ; ce qui rend la connexion fragile en cas de contraintes sur une extrémité du dispositif et rend la connexion instable. De plus, la rigidité inhérente à une telle méthode peut procurer une gêne pour l'utilisateur et fragiliser d'autant plus la connexion. II existe également la possibilité de monter un circuit électronique directement sur le textile, et de coudre des fils métalliques à l'interconnexion avec le circuit électronique (C. Kallmayer, T. Linz, R. Aschenbrenner, and H. Reichl. System intégration technologies for smart textiles, mst news, 2:42-43, 2005.). Cette technique semble toutefois difficile à réaliser à l'échelle industrielle et n'autorise pas le remplacement du circuit électronique, ou à l'inverse, le détachement du circuit électronique flexible pour le connecter à un autre textile. A method of installing clasps for connecting the electronic device and the textile is also known. The clasp is thus detachably connected, on one side to the textile, on the other to the electronic circuit. However, the connection is only made on one or more points; which makes the connection fragile in case of constraints on one end of the device and makes the connection unstable. In addition, the rigidity inherent in such a method can cause discomfort for the user and further weaken the connection. There is also the possibility of mounting an electronic circuit directly on the textile, and of sewing metal wires to the interconnection with the electronic circuit (C. Kallmayer, T. Linz, R. Aschenbrenner, and H. Reichl. for smart textiles, mst news, 2: 42-43, 2005.). This technique, however, seems difficult to achieve on an industrial scale and does not allow the replacement of the electronic circuit, or conversely, the detachment of the flexible electronic circuit to connect to another textile.
On connaît également le brevet DE 10201265 permettant une connexion électrique entre deux modules électroniques séparés par une couche isolante textile. Ces modules sont fixés l'un à l'autre par une paire d'aimants. Ces aimants sont capables de transmettre un signal entre les deux modules permettant ainsi à ces modules d'être reliés électriquement malgré la présence d'une couche non-conductrice textile. Cependant, cette solution technique présente l'inconvénient de devoir incorporer de nombreux composants, notamment une couche conductrice en plus de la couche isolante. De plus, les moyens de fixations utilisés ne permettent pas un positionnement précis du module électronique sur le textile. La présente invention vise donc à mettre au point un nouveau système comprenant un circuit électronique permettant une connexion électrique et mécanique à une zone conductrice d'un textile efficace et capable de résister aux contraintes que le textile ou le vêtement peut être amené à subir dans son utilisation quotidienne. Le dispositif électronique selon la présente invention doit pouvoir se fixer et se détacher du textile sans la mise en œuvre d'opérations complexes. Le dispositif selon la présente invention doit également pouvoir être porté par l'utilisateur du textile sans aucune gêne. DE 10201265 is also known, allowing an electrical connection between two electronic modules separated by a textile insulating layer. These modules are attached to each other by a pair of magnets. These magnets are capable of transmitting a signal between the two modules thus allowing these modules to be electrically connected despite the presence of a non-conductive textile layer. However, this technical solution has the disadvantage of having to incorporate many components, including a conductive layer in addition to the insulating layer. In addition, the fastening means used do not allow precise positioning of the electronic module on the textile. The present invention therefore aims to develop a new system comprising an electronic circuit for an electrical and mechanical connection to a conductive zone of an effective textile and able to withstand the stresses that the textile or clothing can be caused to undergo in its daily use. The electronic device according to the present invention must be able to fix and detach from the textile without the implementation of complex operations. The device according to the present invention must also be able to be worn by the user of the textile without any discomfort.

Le textile est un matériau obtenu par un assemblage de fils. Dans un mode de réalisation, le textile comprend une ou plusieurs zones conductrices. L'utilisation d'un textile comprenant des zones conductrices permet de produire des vêtements intelligents, compacts et facile à porter parce que toutes les zones conductrices desdits vêtements ont été intégrées dans le textile même. Textile is a material obtained by a thread assembly. In one embodiment, the textile comprises one or more conductive zones. The use of a textile comprising conductive zones makes it possible to produce intelligent, compact and easy-to-wear garments because all the conductive zones of said garments have been integrated into the textile itself.
Dans un mode de réalisation, cette zone conductrice peut être obtenue par la présence dans le textile de fils conducteurs par tissage ou tricotage. Dans un mode de réalisation, les fils conducteurs sont constitués d'un matériau conducteur comme de l'argent. In one embodiment, this conductive zone can be obtained by the presence in the textile of conductive yarns by weaving or knitting. In one embodiment, the conductive wires consist of a conductive material such as silver.
Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif, les fils conducteurs sont constitués de fils textiles recouverts d'un matériau conducteur, préférentiellement de fils textiles recouverts d'un métal conducteur, très préférentiellement de fils textiles recouverts d'argent. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la zone conductrice est obtenue par impression d'une encre conductrice ou par une peinture conductrice. Ladite encre conductrice ou peinture conductrice est chargée avec un matériau électriquement conducteur, possédant des propriétés de souplesse lui permettant d'être déposée sur des surfaces souples. Dans un mode de réalisation, le textile comprend plusieurs zones conductrices séparées les unes des autres par une ou plusieurs zones isolantes, pour réduire le bruit électronique. Comme illustré figure 4, ces zones conductrices 110 et zones isolantes 120 créent ainsi des chemins conducteurs dans le textile. In an alternative embodiment, the conductive yarns consist of textile yarns coated with a conductive material, preferably textile yarns coated with a conductive metal, most preferably textile yarns coated with silver.

In one embodiment, the textile comprises a plurality of conductive areas separated from each other by one or more insulating areas, to reduce the electronic noise. As illustrated in FIG. 4, these conductive zones 110 and insulating zones 120 thus create conductive paths in the textile.

Le circuit électronique flexible est donc un support électrique et mécanique de composants électroniques. Il est réalisé sur un support souple de type polyamide, polyétheréthercétone (PEEK), polyester (PE), ou autre. Ce support souple permet de plier le dispositif électronique ou de le déformer sans casser le circuit électronique flexible. A flexible electronic circuit is a technology well known to those skilled in the art, which consists in using a high-performance plastic substrate, such as polyamide. The flexible electronic circuit is therefore an electrical and mechanical support of electronic components. It is made on a flexible support of polyamide, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyester (PE), or other type. This flexible support makes it possible to fold the electronic device or to deform it without breaking the flexible electronic circuit.
Il peut également être réalisé sur un support rigide de type résine époxy renforcée de fibres de verres (FR-4), ou autre. It can also be carried out on a rigid support of epoxy resin type reinforced with glass fibers (FR-4), or the like.
Le circuit électronique est un support électrique et mécanique des composants électroniques. The electronic circuit is an electrical and mechanical support for electronic components.
L'homme du métier reconnaîtra qu'il maîtrise la fabrication des circuits électroniques flexibles. Ces derniers sont largement connus et utilisés dans une grande variété d'applications. The skilled person will recognize that he masters the manufacture of flexible electronic circuits. These are widely known and used in a wide variety of applications.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le circuit électronique n'est pas flexible mais a une surface et un volume configurés pour ne pas empêcher la flexibilité du dispositif selon la présente invention. Le circuit électronique est relié électriquement au textile et est capable d'enregistrer ou d'analyser un signal provenant du textile. Il est également capable de répondre à un signal ou de transmettre un signal.

Dans un mode de réalisation, ces composants électroniques 222 sont soudés au circuit imprimé du circuit électronique. Dans un mode de réalisation, le circuit électronique 220 comprend des couches de matériaux conducteurs, préférentiellement du cuivre recouvert de nickel et/ou d'or afin d'éviter l'oxydation, de façon à obtenir des pistes conductrices. Ces pistes relient électriquement différentes zones du circuit électronique, soit de composant à composant, soit de composant à au moins une piste de connexion 221 qui est un point d'entrée du circuit électronique flexible. Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, le circuit électronique est recouvert d'une couche de vernis qui protège les pistes de l'oxydation et d'éventuels courts-circuits. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif électronique est équipé de renforts rigides permettant de rigidifier certaines zones sous les composants électroniques dont le procédé de soudage est incompatible avec les circuits électroniques flexibles. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le circuit électronique se présente comme une succession de zones rigides articulées entre elles par des zones flexibles.

In one embodiment, these electronic components 222 are soldered to the printed circuit of the electronic circuit. In one embodiment, the electronic circuit 220 comprises layers of conductive materials, preferably copper coated with nickel and / or gold to prevent oxidation, so as to obtain conductive tracks. These tracks electrically connect different areas of the electronic circuit, either component component or component to at least one connection track 221 which is an entry point of the flexible electronic circuit. In an embodiment not shown, the electronic circuit is covered with a layer of varnish that protects the tracks from oxidation and possible short circuits. In one embodiment, the electronic device is equipped with rigid reinforcements making it possible to stiffen certain areas under the electronic components whose welding process is incompatible with the flexible electronic circuits. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit is a succession of rigid zones articulated to each other by flexible zones. The electronic circuit therefore comprises at least one connection track. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the magnetic connection means 130, 210 and the positioning means 150, 223 are configured in such a way that the at least one conductive zone of the textile 110 is in contact with at least one connection track 221 of the circuit 220.

Les connexions magnétiques permettent de fixer ou de détacher le dispositif électronique du textile sans mettre en œuvre d'opérations complexes. De plus, en mettant mécaniquement en contact les zones conductrices du dispositif électrique avec celles du textile, la connexion magnétique a donc l'avantage de garantir une connexion électrique efficace entre ces zones, et capable de résister aux contraintes que le textile ou le vêtement peut être amené à subir dans son utilisation quotidienne. Comme illustré sur la figure 2, le au moins un premier moyen de connexion magnétique 210 du dispositif électronique 200 est en contact avec le circuit électronique 220 du côté opposé de la au moins une piste de connexion 221 du circuit électronique 220.

The textile device and the electronic device each comprise at least one magnetic connection means. The magnetic connections make it possible to fix or detach the electronic device from the textile without implementing complex operations. In addition, by mechanically contacting the conductive areas of the electrical device with those of the textile, the magnetic connection has the advantage of ensuring an effective electrical connection between these areas, and able to withstand the stresses that the textile or clothing can be subjected to in its daily use.
