Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of touch screens, in particular to an infrared signal processing device, an infrared touch screen and a touch device. Background Art

[0002] At present, due to its strong operation convenience, the infrared touch screen has been widely used in various scenarios. The infrared touch screen forms a horizontal and vertical cross infrared ray matrix by using infrared transmitting tubes and infrared receiving tubes arranged on the four sides of the screen. When a user touches the screen, the infrared rays at the touched position will be blocked, so that the position of the touch point on the screen can be judged. In the existing infrared signal processing circuit, a filter with a relatively wide filtering bandwidth range is usually adopted. However, when at least two infrared touch screens are placed side by side, the infrared receiving tubes in the infrared touch screen are likely to receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitting tubes in another infrared touch screen placed side by side. Due to the poor filtering effect of the filter with a relatively wide filtering bandwidth range, the infrared signal of itself is easily superimposed with the interference signal, resulting in the attenuation or cancellation of the effective signal, and further causing the touch signal data collected by the control module in the infrared touch screen to be abnormal, so that the infrared touch screen cannot be used normally.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present utility model have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] See Figure 1 , a first aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model provides an infrared signal processing device, including an infrared receiving module 101, a pre-amplification module 102, a filtering module 103, a post-amplification module 104, and a control module 105;

[0030] The output end of the infrared receiving module 101 is connected to the input end of the pre-amplification module 102. The output end of the pre-amplification module 102 is connected to the input end of the filtering module 103. The output end of the filtering module 103 is connected to the input end of the post-amplification module 104. The output end of the post-amplification module 104 is connected to the input end of the control module 105. The control end of the control module 105 is connected to the controlled end of the filtering module 103. The filtering module 103 includes a plurality of band-stop filters with different stopband ranges.

[0031] Specifically, the infrared receiving module 101 in this embodiment is specifically an infrared receiving tube that converts an infrared light signal into an electrical signal. Further, since the intensity of the infrared light signal received by the infrared receiving module 101 is relatively weak, in order to ensure that the subsequent control module 105 can effectively identify and process the infrared signal and ensure that the screen has a high touch control sensitivity, it is necessary to use the pre-amplification module 102 to perform the first amplification process on the infrared signal converted into an electrical signal. Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, when there are at least two infrared touchscreens placed side by side in the existing infrared signal processing circuit, the effective signal after the superposition of its own infrared signal and the interference signal will be attenuated or cancelled, resulting in abnormal touch signal data finally collected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the filtering module 103 is set to filter out the interference signal. The filtering module 103 includes a plurality of band-stop filters with different stopband ranges, and it is controlled by the control module 105 to switch the band-stop filter. It can be understood that for different touchscreens, the frequencies of the infrared light signals emitted by their infrared transmitting tubes may be different. Therefore, in this embodiment, the band-stop filters with different stopband ranges are used to filter out the interference signals of each specific frequency. In addition, as Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the frequency of the infrared light signal emitted by the infrared emitter is adjustable. When it detects that its own infrared light signal is interfered with, it can change the frequency of the infrared light signal it emits to avoid the frequency of the infrared light signal it emits being the same as or close to that of the interference signal. The reason is that a band-stop filter usually has a preset stopband range. If the frequency of the infrared light signal emitted by itself is the same as or close to that of the interference signal, when filtering the interference signal, it is easy to filter out the infrared light signal emitted by itself at the same time, making the control module 105 unable to recognize the touch signal. After changing the frequency of the infrared light signal it emits, the control module 105 is used to select a band-stop filter whose stopband range corresponds to the frequency of the interference signal to filter out the interference signal during the infrared signal processing. Further, in order to improve the recognition success rate of the infrared signal, this embodiment uses the post-amplification module 104 to perform a second amplification process on the infrared signal and output it to the control module 105. The control module 105 is used to determine the corresponding touch signal according to the received infrared signal to realize the touch function of the infrared touch screen.

[0032] As a preferred solution, the filtering module 103 further includes a first single-pole multi-throw switch K1 and a second single-pole multi-throw switch K2;

[0033] The knife end of the first single-pole multi-throw switch K1 is connected to the output end of the pre-amplification module 102. Each throw end of the first single-pole multi-throw switch K1 is respectively connected to the input end of any one of the band-stop filters. Each throw end of the second single-pole multi-throw switch K2 is respectively connected to the output end of any one of the band-stop filters. The knife end of the second single-pole multi-throw switch K2 is connected to the input end of the post-amplification module 104. The control end of the control module 105 is respectively connected to the controlled end of the first single-pole multi-throw switch K1 and the controlled end of the second single-pole multi-throw switch K2.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, a single-pole multi-throw switch is used to realize the selection of the band-stop filter. It can be understood that the single-pole multi-throw switch can be a single-pole double-throw switch, a single-pole triple-throw switch, a single-pole quadruple-throw switch, etc., which can be set based on the number of band-stop filters. This embodiment does not make specific limitations here. When it is necessary to filter out an interference signal of a certain frequency, the control module 105 is used to control the knife ends of the first single-pole multi-throw switch K1 and the second single-pole multi-throw switch K2 to be connected to the throw ends connected to the band-stop filter whose stopband range corresponds to the frequency of the interference signal, so as to form a path between the band-stop filter and the infrared receiving module 101, the pre-amplification module 102, the post-amplification module 104 and the control module 105, and filter out the interference signal during the infrared signal processing.

[0035] See Figure 6, As a preferred solution, the band-stop filter includes a low-pass filter circuit, a high-pass filter circuit, and an in-phase summing circuit;

[0036] The input ends of the low-pass filter circuit and the high-pass filter circuit are both used to access the signal output by the pre-amplification module 102. The output ends of the low-pass filter circuit and the high-pass filter circuit are both connected to the input end of the in-phase summing circuit. The output end of the in-phase summing circuit is used to output the filtered signal to the post-amplification module 104.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the signal output by the pre-amplification module 102 acts on the low-pass filter circuit and the high-pass filter circuit simultaneously, and then the in-phase summing circuit sums the output signals of the low-pass filter circuit and the high-pass filter circuit to achieve the filtering of signals in a specific frequency range. It can be understood that by adjusting the device parameters in the low-pass filter circuit and the high-pass filter circuit, the upper cut-off frequency and the lower cut-off frequency of the band-stop filter can be adjusted, so that several band-stop filters with different stopband ranges can be set.

[0038] , As a preferred solution, the low-pass filter circuit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first capacitor C1;

[0039] One end of the first resistor R1 is used to access the signal output by the pre-amplification module 102.

One end of the first capacitor C1 is connected between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0040] , As a preferred solution, the high-pass filter circuit includes a second capacitor C2, a third capacitor C3, and a third resistor R3;

[0041] One end of the second capacitor C2 is used to access the signal output by the pre-amplification module 102. The other end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to one end of the third capacitor C3. The other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the input end of the in-phase summing circuit. One end of the third resistor R3 is connected between the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the output end of the in-phase summing circuit.

[0042] , As a preferred solution, the in-phase summing circuit includes an operational amplifier U1, a fourth resistor R4, and a fifth resistor R5;

[0043] The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is respectively connected to the input terminal of the low-pass filter circuit and the input terminal of the high-pass filter circuit. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. The output terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is used to output the filtered signal to the post-amplification module 104. One end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier U1, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by adjusting the resistance values of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 and the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1, the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter circuit can be adjusted; by adjusting the capacitance values of the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 and the resistance value of the third resistor R3, the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter circuit can be adjusted. Based on this, the adjustment of the upper cut-off frequency and the lower cut-off frequency of the band-stop filter can be realized.

[0045] The infrared signal processing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a plurality of band-stop filters with different stopband ranges, when its own infrared signal is affected by interference signals, can use the control module 105 to select a band-stop filter corresponding to the interference frequency to filter out the interference signals, ensuring the normal touch signal data collected by the control module 105 and guaranteeing the normal use of the infrared touch screen.

[0049] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
