如圖1所示,為一種傳統的近接(Proximity)電容式感應器18,適用於感應是否有一物體20接近,因為大部分的電力線會被地16所吸收,導致電容式感應器18與物體20之間的感應電容量降低,而使電容式感應器18的感應距離隨著降低。As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional Proximity capacitive sensor 18 is adapted to sense whether an object 20 is in proximity because most of the power lines are absorbed by the ground 16, resulting in the capacitive sensor 18 and the object 20. The induced capacitance between them decreases, and the sensing distance of the capacitive sensor 18 decreases.

有關本發明之前述及其他技術內容、特點與功效,在以下配合參考圖式之三個較佳實施例的詳細說明中,將可清楚的呈現。The above and other technical contents, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of FIG.
<電容式感應系統><Capacitive sensing system>

And a counting device 4.
電容式感應裝置3包括一電容式感應器31,及一電容量讀出電路32。The capacitive sensing device 3 includes a capacitive sensor 31 and a capacitance sensing circuit 32.
該電容式感應器31根據與該物體20的距離而對應地產生一隨著變化的感應電容量,距離遠時,感應電容量隨著距離的變化量非常微小,距離近時,感應電容量隨著距離的變化量較大,且該電容式感應器31具有一感應板(sensing plate)311,和一介於該感應板與地之間的隔離板(shielding plate)312,且該隔離板312與該感應板311電連接成短路。The capacitive sensor 31 correspondingly generates a varying induced capacitance according to the distance from the object 20. When the distance is long, the amount of change in the induced capacitance with the distance is very small. When the distance is short, the induced capacitance is The amount of change in the distance is large, and the capacitive sensor 31 has a sensing plate 311, and a shielding plate 312 interposed between the sensing plate and the ground, and the spacer plate 312 is The sensing board 311 is electrically connected to be short-circuited.
參閱圖5,該電容式感應器31的感應電容量如下所示:Referring to FIG. 5, the inductive capacitance of the capacitive sensor 31 is as follows:
Ctotal=Csg+(Cso//Cog)=Csg+[(Cso×Cog)/(Cso+Cog)]......(式1)Ctotal=Csg+(Cso//Cog)=Csg+[(Cso×Cog)/(Cso+Cog)]......(Formula 1)
其中,參數Ctotal為電容式感應器31之感應電容量、參數Csg為隔離板312到地之間的電容量(由於隔離板312與該感應板311之間短路,所以也形同感應板311到地之間的電容量)、參數Cso為感應板311到物體20之間的電容量、參數Cog為物體20到地之間的電容量,由於隔離板312提供電力線到地,使該感應板311的電力線則向上去感應物體20,因此,當物體20接近時,Cso增加,而使Ctotal增加。The parameter Ctotal is the inductive capacitance of the capacitive sensor 31, and the parameter Csg is the capacitance between the isolation plate 312 and the ground (due to the short circuit between the isolation plate 312 and the induction plate 311, the induction plate 311 is also formed.

When the sampling switch S1 is turned on, the electric charge from the capacitive sensor 31 is transferred to the sampling capacitor CS via the sampling switch S1 for charging to increase the sampling voltage. When the sampling switch S1 is not turned on, the sampling capacitor CS is stopped. In the further description, as the charging switch S0 and the sampling switch S1 are alternately turned on and off a plurality of times, a plurality of charge-transfers are repeated, so that the sampling capacitor CS gradually accumulates electric charges.
