Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensing control technology, specifically to a touch button sensing circuit that can prevent accidental triggering. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional mechanical buttons are gradually being used less due to aesthetic reasons, while touch buttons have become a common and primary control method in modern electrical appliances. In design and use, accurate touch button sensing is the prerequisite for all functions. In practical applications, touch sensing systems often face various interference sources, such as environmental noise, static electricity, and dust. These external factors can easily cause false triggering of touch buttons, causing the equipment to deviate from the working state set by the user. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] See Figure 1It includes a circular main touch capacitor C1 for touch sensing. One end of the main touch capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the positive power supply (3.3V) through resistor R5. The other end of the main touch capacitor C1 is also connected to the main amplifier U1 through resistor R6 and connected to its negative input terminal. The circuit includes a noise reduction capacitor C2. The shielded driver U2 is connected to the back of the noise reduction capacitor C2. The output terminal of the shielded driver U2 and the main amplifier U1 is connected to the differential amplifier U3. The back end of the differential amplifier U3 is connected to a hysteresis comparator U4, which outputs a signal.
[0021] The shielded driver U2 is an operational amplifier. The two ends of the noise reduction capacitor C2 are connected to the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the shielded driver U2, respectively. A resistor R7 is also provided between C2 and the negative input terminal of the shielded driver U2. The positive input terminal of the shielded driver U2 is grounded, and the output terminal of the shielded driver U2 is connected to the differential amplifier U3.
[0022] The output of the main amplifier U1 is connected to the positive input of the differential amplifier U3 through resistor R3. The output of the shielded driver U2 is connected to the negative input of the differential amplifier U3 through resistor R4. The output of the differential amplifier U3 is connected to its negative input through resistor R8.
[0023] The output of differential amplifier U3 is connected to the positive input of hysteresis comparator U4. The circuit also includes a 1.2V reference Ref. The negative input of hysteresis comparator U4 is connected to the reference Ref through resistor R1. Resistor R2 is also connected between the output and negative input of hysteresis comparator U4.
[0024] The values of resistors R5 and R6 determine the amplitude and impedance of the signal amplification. Therefore, the resistance values are calculated according to actual needs. Resistor R7 is used to provide input impedance, ensure the signal path, ensure the normal operation of shielded driver U2 and form negative feedback. Resistor R1 provides a reference voltage for hysteresis comparator U4. It sets the threshold voltage by forming a voltage divider with resistor R2. In addition, the hysteresis circuit formed by resistors R1 and R2 ensures that hysteresis comparator U4 will only output a stable trigger signal at a certain threshold, thereby avoiding oscillations caused by small noises or signal changes.
[0025] During use, when a finger approaches, the main touch capacitor C1 changes, generating an electrical signal. The main amplifier U1 amplifies the signal from the main touch capacitor C1, while the shielded driver U2 drives the noise reduction capacitor C2. Both sets of output signals are simultaneously input into the differential amplifier U3, which calculates the voltage difference between them to remove common-mode interference and form a differential signal. This signal is then input into the hysteresis comparator U4, which compares it with a reference voltage. The two resistors form a feedback circuit, producing a hysteresis effect. This prevents fluctuations or noise from causing the hysteresis comparator U4 to frequently change its output, ensuring the stability of the trigger signal. If the differential signal exceeds the set threshold, the output of the hysteresis comparator U4 can generate a stable trigger signal to drive the subsequent circuitry.
[0026] In the design, a threshold is generated by adjusting the sensitivity of the main touch capacitor C1 and the gain of the differential amplifier U3. Only a strong and continuous change in capacitance exceeding this threshold can generate a valid signal, reducing false touches. In addition, the resistance values of resistors R1 and R2 can be adjusted according to actual tests to set a higher touch threshold, ensuring that the touch is triggered only when the signal change value exceeds this threshold, thereby preventing false touches caused by dust or static electricity.

Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
