For example, the terminal 151 is a positive electrode of the battery holder 102, and the terminal 152 is a negative electrode of the battery holder 102.
　発信機１０７は、通信デバイス１０８および通信用アンテナ１０９を含む。コネクタ１１０は、第１基板１０１と第２基板１０３とを電気的に接続する。コネクタ１１０は、第１基板１０１と第２基板１０３とを支持するスペーサを兼ねている。 The transmitter 107 includes a communication device 108 and a communication antenna 109. The connector 110 electrically connects the first board 101 and the second board 103. The connector 110 also serves as a spacer that supports the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 103.
　第１基板１０１の直径および第２基板１０３の直径は、いずれも２２ｍｍ～２６ｍｍの範囲内の値（推奨は２５ｍｍ）に設計されている。電池ホルダ１０２は、第１基板１０１に対して垂直に設置されている。 The diameter of the first substrate 101 and the diameter of the second substrate 103 are both designed to be values within the range of 22 mm to 26 mm (recommended is 25 mm). The battery holder 102 is installed perpendicular to the first substrate 101.
　本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１は、コイン電池１０４から供給される電力を利用して、センサ１１１でセンシングした情報を、発信機１０７によって通信する。これにより、例えば、機械式圧力計の圧力値をセンサで読み取って、その情報を通信するシステムを構築することができる。 The sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment uses the electric power supplied from the coin battery 104 to communicate the information sensed by the sensor 111 by the transmitter 107. Thereby, for example, it is possible to construct a system in which the pressure value of the mechanical pressure gauge is read by a sensor and the information is communicated.
　本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１において、電池ホルダ１０２は、第１基板１０１に対して非平行に設置される。より詳細には、電池ホルダ１０２は、第１基板１０１の第１平面に対してコイン電池１０４が非平行になるように、第１基板１０１の第１平面に配置される。図１では、電池ホルダ１０２は、第１基板１０１に対して略垂直に設置される。さらには、通信用アンテナ１０９は、電池ホルダ１０２にコイン電池１０４が搭載された状態の第１基板１０１の鉛直方向に対して、コイン電池１０４と重畳しないように配置される。これにより、発信機１０７の通信用アンテナ１０９が、金属製のコイン電池１０４から十分遠くに離れているため、センサ通信装置１の通信電波強度を劣化させることなく十分な電波強度を確保することができる。 In the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment, the battery holder 102 is installed non-parallel to the first substrate 101. More specifically, the battery holder 102 is arranged on the first plane of the first substrate 101 so that the coin battery 104 is non-parallel to the first plane of the first substrate 101. In FIG. 1, the battery holder 102 is installed substantially perpendicular to the first substrate 101. Further, the communication antenna 109 is arranged so as not to overlap with the coin battery 104 in the vertical direction of the first substrate 101 in a state where the coin battery 104 is mounted on the battery holder 102. As a result, since the communication antenna 109 of the transmitter 107 is sufficiently far from the metal coin battery 104, it is possible to secure sufficient radio wave strength without deteriorating the communication radio wave strength of the sensor communication device 1. can.
　従来の一般的なセンサ通信装置では、センサ通信装置における縦方向の省スペース化を図るために、電池ホルダが第１基板に対して直上に平行に設置される。しかしながら、このような従来構成では、金属製のコイン電池と発信機のアンテナとの距離が短くなるため、電波強度が十分確保できないという課題が生じる。本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１は、電池ホルダ１０２を第１基板１０１に対して非平行（典型的には垂直）に設置することで、この課題を解決したものである。すなわち、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１は、センサ通信装置１における横方向の省スペース化を図ることによって、センサ通信装置１を小型化することができる。 In a conventional general sensor communication device, a battery holder is installed directly above the first board in order to save space in the vertical direction of the sensor communication device. However, in such a conventional configuration, since the distance between the metal coin battery and the antenna of the transmitter is short, there arises a problem that sufficient radio wave strength cannot be secured. The sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment solves this problem by installing the battery holder 102 non-parallel (typically perpendicular) to the first substrate 101. That is, the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment can reduce the size of the sensor communication device 1 by saving space in the lateral direction of the sensor communication device 1.
　本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１の発信機１０７による通信方式は、Ｂｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈ（登録商標）の通信方式を想定している。しかし、ＬＴＥ－Ｍ、ＬｏＲａ、Ｓｉｇｆｏｘ等の他の通信方式でも良く、Ｂｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈに限定されるものではない。 The communication method by the transmitter 107 of the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment assumes the communication method of Bluetooth (registered trademark). However, other communication methods such as LTE-M, LoRa, and Sigfox may be used, and the method is not limited to Bluetooth.
　図２は、第１の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１を内装した角度計ユニット２０４が、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計にも適用可能であることを示す図である。本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１では、第１基板１０１の直径および第２基板１０３の直径が、いずれも２２ｍｍ～２６ｍｍ（推奨は２５ｍｍ）に設計されている。この有効性について、図２を参照して説明する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing that the protractor unit 204 including the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment can be applied to a mechanical pressure gauge having a diameter of 60 mm. In the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment, the diameter of the first substrate 101 and the diameter of the second substrate 103 are both designed to be 22 mm to 26 mm (recommended is 25 mm). This effectiveness will be described with reference to FIG.
　図２の１１１０は、市販の角度計ユニット２０２が設置された、直径１００ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０１を示している。角度計ユニット２０２は、機械式圧力計２０１の圧力値を計測して通信する機能を有している。角度計ユニット２０２は、従来のセンサ通信装置と、これを湿気や粉塵などの外部環境から守るための筐体から構成されている。角度計ユニット２０２は、一般に市販されているものである。 1110 in FIG. 2 shows a mechanical pressure gauge 201 having a diameter of 100 mm in which a commercially available protractor unit 202 is installed. The angle meter unit 202 has a function of measuring and communicating the pressure value of the mechanical pressure gauge 201. The goniometer unit 202 is composed of a conventional sensor communication device and a housing for protecting the sensor communication device from an external environment such as moisture and dust. The protractor unit 202 is generally commercially available.
　図２の１１２０は、角度計ユニット２０２が設置された、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３を示している。図２の１１３０は、角度計ユニットなどが装着されていない機械式圧力計２０３を、比較のために示している。図２の１１４０は、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１が筐体内に収納されている本実施の形態に係る角度計ユニット２０４が装着された、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３を示している。本実施の形態に係る角度計ユニット２０４の直径は、３０ｍｍに設計されている。その内訳は、第１基板１０１の直径および第２基板１０３の直径がいずれも２５ｍｍであり、角度計ユニット２０４の筐体の片側の厚さが２ｍｍ（片側の公差０．５ｍｍ）である。 1120 in FIG. 2 shows a mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm in which the protractor unit 202 is installed. 1130 of FIG. 2 shows a mechanical pressure gauge 203 not equipped with a protractor unit or the like for comparison. 1140 of FIG. 2 shows a mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm, which is equipped with a goniometer unit 204 according to the present embodiment in which the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment is housed in a housing. There is. The diameter of the angle meter unit 204 according to the present embodiment is designed to be 30 mm. The breakdown is that the diameter of the first substrate 101 and the diameter of the second substrate 103 are both 25 mm, and the thickness of one side of the housing of the angle meter unit 204 is 2 mm (tolerance of one side is 0.5 mm).
　一般に、機械式圧力計の圧力値をセンサで計測し、かつその情報を通信する角度計ユニットは、電池切れまたは角度計ユニットの故障などが発生した場合も圧力値を把握できるようにするために、目視できることが強く望まれている。しかしながら、図２の１１２０のように、市販の角度計ユニット２０２の直径は４６ｍｍなので、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３の指針を目視では確認できない。したがって、市販の角度計ユニット２０２は、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３の指針の計測には使用できない。一方、図２の１１４０のように、本開示の角度計ユニット２０４は、その直径が３０ｍｍに設計されているため、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３の指針を目視で確認可能となる。 Generally, a goniometer unit that measures the pressure value of a mechanical pressure gauge with a sensor and communicates that information is to be able to grasp the pressure value even if the battery runs out or the goniometer unit fails. It is strongly desired to be able to see. However, as shown in 1120 of FIG. 2, since the diameter of the commercially available protractor unit 202 is 46 mm, the pointer of the mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm cannot be visually confirmed. Therefore, the commercially available protractor unit 202 cannot be used for measuring the pointer of the mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm. On the other hand, as shown in 1140 of FIG. 2, since the angle meter unit 204 of the present disclosure is designed to have a diameter of 30 mm, the pointer of the mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm can be visually confirmed.
　図３は、第１の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１において樹脂（評価基板）が電波強度に及ぼす影響について実験した結果を示す図である。評価基板とは、第１基板１０１または第２基板１０３に利用され得る基板（樹脂）の候補のことである。本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１では、第１基板１０１と第２基板１０３とが５ｍｍ以上の距離を持つように配置される。また、第１基板１０１と、第２基板１０３に実装されている発信機１０７との距離を、５ｍｍ以上設けている。これにより、樹脂（第１基板１０１および第２基板１０３）による電波強度の低下を防止できる。図３を参照して、この効果について説明する。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the results of experiments on the effect of the resin (evaluation substrate) on the radio field intensity in the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment. The evaluation board is a candidate for a board (resin) that can be used for the first board 101 or the second board 103. In the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment, the first board 101 and the second board 103 are arranged so as to have a distance of 5 mm or more. Further, the distance between the first board 101 and the transmitter 107 mounted on the second board 103 is set to 5 mm or more. This makes it possible to prevent a decrease in radio field strength due to the resin (first substrate 101 and second substrate 103). This effect will be described with reference to FIG.
　図３の１２１０は、樹脂（評価基板）と、発信機１０７の通信用アンテナ１０９との距離を示す。図３の１２２０は、評価対象の樹脂、その比誘電率、およびその誘電正接の相互関係を一覧にまとめた表を示す。図３の１２３０は、実験の評価結果を示す。一般に、電波強度は、樹脂の比誘電率および誘電正接に依存することが知られている。そこで、比誘電率と誘電正接が異なる樹脂（３種類）を用いて、センサ通信装置１において樹脂が電波強度に及ぼす影響を実験した。 1210 in FIG. 3 shows the distance between the resin (evaluation board) and the communication antenna 109 of the transmitter 107. 1220 in FIG. 3 shows a table summarizing the interrelationships of the resin to be evaluated, its relative permittivity, and its dielectric loss tangent. 1230 in FIG. 3 shows the evaluation result of the experiment. It is generally known that the radio field intensity depends on the relative permittivity and the dielectric loss tangent of the resin. Therefore, using resins (three types) having different relative permittivity and dielectric loss tangent, the effect of the resin on the radio field intensity in the sensor communication device 1 was tested.
　図３に示すように、いずれの樹脂においても、樹脂と、発信機１０７の通信用アンテナ１０９との距離Ａが５ｍｍ以下になると、電波強度は低下している。さらに、樹脂の比誘電率および誘電正接が大きい程、電波強度の低下量は大きい。これらの結果によれば、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１では、第１基板１０１と、第２基板１０３に実装されている発信機１０７との距離が５ｍｍ以上設けているため、通信電波強度の低下を防止する効果があることが分かる。なお、第１基板１０１および第２基板１０３に使われている一般的な基板の比誘電率は２．５である。この比誘電率は、今回の実験の樹脂の比誘電率が低いため、センサ通信装置１が電波強度の低下をより防止することができると言える。 As shown in FIG. 3, in any of the resins, the radio wave intensity decreases when the distance A between the resin and the communication antenna 109 of the transmitter 107 is 5 mm or less. Further, the larger the relative permittivity and the dielectric loss tangent of the resin, the greater the amount of decrease in radio field intensity. According to these results, in the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the distance between the first board 101 and the transmitter 107 mounted on the second board 103 is 5 mm or more, the communication radio wave is provided. It can be seen that it has the effect of preventing a decrease in strength. The relative permittivity of a general substrate used for the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 103 is 2.5. Since the relative permittivity of the resin in this experiment is low, it can be said that the sensor communication device 1 can further prevent a decrease in radio field strength.
　図４は、第１の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１を機械式圧力計に設置したときの断面を示す断面図である。この図では、機械式圧力計の指針１３１に、永久磁石１２１が取り付けられている。この永久磁石の上部に、機械式圧力計の透明版１３０を介してセンサ１１１が配置されるように、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１を設置する。センサ１１１としては、例えば磁気センサを用いる。したがって、図４の例では、センサ通信装置１は、第２基板１０３の第２平面の裏面の略中央に磁気センサをさらに備える。 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section when the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment is installed in a mechanical pressure gauge. In this figure, a permanent magnet 121 is attached to the pointer 131 of the mechanical pressure gauge. The sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment is installed on the permanent magnet so that the sensor 111 is arranged via the transparent plate 130 of the mechanical pressure gauge. As the sensor 111, for example, a magnetic sensor is used. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4, the sensor communication device 1 further includes a magnetic sensor at substantially the center of the back surface of the second plane of the second substrate 103.
　図４の構成では、永久磁石１２１のＮ極からＳ極に延びる磁力線の向きを磁気センサで計測することによって、指針１３１の角度（すなわち圧力値）を知ることができる。磁気センサと永久磁石１２１との距離が短いほど、計測制度は高まる。したがって、磁気センサと永久磁石１２１とを近づけるために、磁気センサ部分の透明版１３０の表面を削って薄くすればよい。あるいは、透明版１３０に貫通孔を開けたり、永久磁石１２１と指針１３１との間に樹脂等を挿入したりしてもよい。 In the configuration of FIG. 4, the angle (that is, the pressure value) of the pointer 131 can be known by measuring the direction of the magnetic field lines extending from the N pole to the S pole of the permanent magnet 121 with a magnetic sensor. The shorter the distance between the magnetic sensor and the permanent magnet 121, the higher the measurement system. Therefore, in order to bring the magnetic sensor and the permanent magnet 121 closer to each other, the surface of the transparent plate 130 of the magnetic sensor portion may be scraped to make it thinner. Alternatively, a through hole may be formed in the transparent plate 130, or a resin or the like may be inserted between the permanent magnet 121 and the pointer 131.
　図５は、第１の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置において、電池ホルダ１０２と第１基板１０１との角度θが３０°～９０°の範囲内の値であれば良いことを示す図である。電池ホルダ１０２と第１基板１０１との角度θは、３０°～９０°の範囲内の値であれば良い。図５において、電池ホルダ１０２は、電池ホルダ１０２にコイン電池１０４が搭載された状態で、通信用アンテナ１０９が配置されている方向と異なる方向にコイン電池１０４を傾倒させている。さらには、電池ホルダ１０２にコイン電池１０４が搭載された状態で、コイン電池１０４の正極端子面と平行な第１仮想直線と、第１基板１０１の第１平面に平行な第２仮想直線との角度が、３０°以上かつ９０°以下である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing that in the sensor communication device according to the first embodiment, the angle θ between the battery holder 102 and the first substrate 101 may be a value within the range of 30 ° to 90 °. .. The angle θ between the battery holder 102 and the first substrate 101 may be a value within the range of 30 ° to 90 °. In FIG. 5, the battery holder 102 tilts the coin battery 104 in a direction different from the direction in which the communication antenna 109 is arranged, with the coin battery 104 mounted on the battery holder 102. Further, with the coin battery 104 mounted on the battery holder 102, a first virtual straight line parallel to the positive electrode terminal surface of the coin battery 104 and a second virtual straight line parallel to the first plane of the first substrate 101. The angle is 30 ° or more and 90 ° or less.
　図５の例では、コイン電池１０４と電池ホルダ１０２として、最も一般的に使用されている型式：ＣＲ２０３２（パソニック製）の電池と型式：ＣＨ７４－２０３２ＬＦ（タカチ電機工業製）のホルダとをそれぞれ用いている。電池ホルダ１０２にコイン電池１０４を挿入したときの電池ホルダ１０２の大きさは、縦２７ｍｍおよび厚さ６．３ｍｍである。 In the example of FIG. 5, as the coin battery 104 and the battery holder 102, the most commonly used battery of model: CR2032 (manufactured by Pasonic) and the holder of model: CH74-2032LF (manufactured by Takachi Denki Kogyo) are used, respectively. ing. The size of the battery holder 102 when the coin battery 104 is inserted into the battery holder 102 is 27 mm in length and 6.3 mm in thickness.
　図２を参照して上述したように、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３の指針を目視で確認できるようにするために、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１が内装される筐体１４０の外形は、３０ｍｍ以内に設計される。図５においては、筐体１４０の外形が３０ｍｍである。したがって、筐体１４０の肉厚が２ｍｍであるとすると、筐体１４０の内径は２６ｍｍである。内径２６ｍｍ内に電池ホルダ１０２およびコイン電池１０４を内装するためには、角度θを３０°以上に設定する必要がある。 As described above with reference to FIG. 2, the housing 140 in which the sensor communication device 1 according to the present embodiment is incorporated so that the pointer of the mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm can be visually confirmed. The outer shape is designed within 30 mm. In FIG. 5, the outer shape of the housing 140 is 30 mm. Therefore, assuming that the wall thickness of the housing 140 is 2 mm, the inner diameter of the housing 140 is 26 mm. In order to install the battery holder 102 and the coin battery 104 within the inner diameter of 26 mm, it is necessary to set the angle θ to 30 ° or more.
　上述したように、角度θは３０°～９０°の範囲内にあるため、筐体１４０（内径２６ｍｍ）の中に電池ホルダ１０２およびコイン電池１０４を内装することができる。角度θが３０°の場合、９０°のときよりも筐体１４０の高さを低くできる。そのため、角度計ユニットを縦方向に省スペース化することができる。さらに、筐体１４０の材料費用を削減することもできる。一方、角度θが９０°の場合、コイン電池１０４の脱着が容易にすることができる。さらに、振動に対するセンサ通信装置１の耐性を大きくすることもできる。 As described above, since the angle θ is in the range of 30 ° to 90 °, the battery holder 102 and the coin battery 104 can be installed in the housing 140 (inner diameter 26 mm). When the angle θ is 30 °, the height of the housing 140 can be lowered as compared with the case of 90 °. Therefore, the space of the goniometer unit can be saved in the vertical direction. Further, the material cost of the housing 140 can be reduced. On the other hand, when the angle θ is 90 °, the coin battery 104 can be easily attached and detached. Further, the resistance of the sensor communication device 1 to vibration can be increased.
　＜第２の実施の形態＞
　本開示の第２の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａについて、図６を参照して説明する。図６は、本開示の第２の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａを示す図である。本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａは、概ね、第１の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１が備える各部材と同一の部材を備えている。しかし、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａは、第１基板１０１の代わりに第１基板３０１を備えている。 <Second embodiment>
The sensor communication device 1A according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a sensor communication device 1A according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. The sensor communication device 1A according to the present embodiment generally includes the same members as the members included in the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment. However, the sensor communication device 1A according to the present embodiment includes the first board 301 instead of the first board 101.
　センサ通信装置１Ａでは、ファームウェア書込み用コネクタ１０６、発信機１０７、およびセンサ１１１などの電子部品が、第１基板３０１に実装されている。このように、本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａでは、第１実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１と異なり、一枚の第１基板３０１にセンサ１１１を含む複数の電池部品が実装されている。したがって、第１の実施の形態第１に係るセンサ通信装置１に比べて第１基板３０１の面積が大きくなるが、センサ通信装置１Ａを縦方向に省スペース化することができる効果が得られる。 In the sensor communication device 1A, electronic components such as a firmware writing connector 106, a transmitter 107, and a sensor 111 are mounted on the first board 301. As described above, in the sensor communication device 1A according to the present embodiment, unlike the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment, a plurality of battery parts including the sensor 111 are mounted on one first board 301. There is. Therefore, although the area of the first substrate 301 is larger than that of the sensor communication device 1 according to the first embodiment, the effect that the sensor communication device 1A can be saved in the vertical direction can be obtained.
　本実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１Ａにおいても、図５を参照して説明したように、電池ホルダ１０２と第１基板２０１との角度θを３０°～９０°の範囲内の値にしてもよい。 Also in the sensor communication device 1A according to the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 5, even if the angle θ between the battery holder 102 and the first substrate 201 is set to a value within the range of 30 ° to 90 °. good.
　＜付記事項＞
　第１の実施の形態において説明したように、センサ通信装置１では、回路基板を第１基板１０１および第２基板１０３の２枚構成とすると共に、コイン電池１０４を第１基板２０１に対して３０°～９０°の範囲内の角度で傾けている。したがって、センサ通信装置１の通信電波強度を低下させることなく、センサ通信装置１を横方向に省スペース化することができる。これにより、センサ通信装置１は、従来では不可能であった、直径６０ｍｍの機械式圧力計２０３に角度計ユニットを設置することを実現できる。これと同様の効果は、第２の実施の形態に係るセンサ通信装置１によっても得られる。 <Additional notes>
As described in the first embodiment, in the sensor communication device 1, the circuit board is composed of two boards, the first board 101 and the second board 103, and the coin battery 104 is 30 with respect to the first board 201. Tilt at an angle within the range of ° to 90 °. Therefore, the space of the sensor communication device 1 can be saved in the lateral direction without lowering the communication radio wave strength of the sensor communication device 1. As a result, the sensor communication device 1 can realize that the angle meter unit can be installed in the mechanical pressure gauge 203 having a diameter of 60 mm, which was impossible in the past. Similar effects can be obtained by the sensor communication device 1 according to the second embodiment.
