Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is to be noted that the features in the following embodiments and examples may be combined with each other without conflict.
It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and the components related to the present invention are only shown in the drawings rather than drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and proportion of the components in actual implementation may be changed freely, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
Glass elements are widely used in existing electronic devices, however, edge crack and crack are easily generated in the process of testing, transporting, using and the like of the glass elements, and in the prior art, the crack detection of the glass elements is mostly realized by adopting a scheme based on a resistance value. However, the inventor finds out through research that the crack detection of the glass element can be carried out based on the capacitance value, and the crack detection scheme based on the capacitance value is not available in the prior art. In order to solve the problem, the invention provides a crack detection device, which comprises a detection value acquisition module and a reference value acquisition module, wherein the detection value acquisition module and the reference value acquisition module are respectively used for acquiring a detection value and a reference value of a detection parameter; the detection parameter is related to the capacitance value of the ITO circuit, and the reference value of the detection parameter is related to the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit. And a detection control module in the crack detection device can judge whether cracks exist in the region to be detected according to the detection value and the reference value. Therefore, the crack detection device can realize the crack detection of the glass element according to the capacitance value of the ITO circuit.
Referring to fig. 1A, in an embodiment of the invention, the crack detection apparatus 1 includes:
an ITO capacitor 11. Referring to fig. 1B, the ITO capacitor 11 includes a first ITO plate 111 and a second ITO plate 112. In addition, the ITO capacitor 11 further includes a dielectric layer 113, where the dielectric layer 113 is located between the first ITO plate 111 and the second ITO plate 112, and may be air, silicon dioxide, or the like.
The wires 12 are detected. Referring to fig. 1C and fig. 1D, the detection line 12 is a conductive line, is attached to the area to be detected 31, and is connected to the ITO capacitor 11 to form an ITO line 2. Because the detection line 12 is attached to the region to be detected 31, when the region to be detected 31 has a crack 32, the detection line 12 will break, and at this time, the ITO line 2 is open-circuited, thereby causing the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 to change. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the detection line 12 is not broken, the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is related to not only the capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 but also the capacitance values of other capacitors in the crack detection device 1; the other capacitance refers to a capacitance existing in the crack detection device 1 except the ITO capacitor 11, for example, a parasitic capacitance generated by a PCB wiring, a chip pin, and the like. When the detection line 12 is broken, the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is only related to the capacitance values of the other capacitors.
And the detection value acquisition module 13 is connected with the ITO capacitor 11 through the detection line 12 and is used for acquiring a detection value of a detection parameter. Wherein the detection parameter is related to the capacitance value of the ITO line 2; the detection value of the detection parameter is a value obtained according to the actual capacitance value of the ITO line 2, and the actual capacitance value of the ITO line 2 depends on the actual capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 and the capacitance values of the other capacitors.
A reference value obtaining module 14, connected to the ITO capacitor 11, for obtaining a reference value of the detection parameter; the reference value of the detection parameter is a value calculated according to a theoretical capacitance value of the ITO line 2 when the ITO line 2 is in a pass state. The theoretical capacitance value of the ITO line 2 depends on the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 and the capacitance values of the other capacitors.
And the detection control module 15 is connected with the detection value acquisition module 13 and the reference value acquisition module 14, and is used for controlling the crack detection device 1 and judging whether cracks exist in the region to be detected according to the detection value and the reference value.
Specifically, when the detection line 12 is not broken, since the actual capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 is not much different from the theoretical capacitance value thereof, the detection value of the detection parameter is approximately equal to the reference value of the detection parameter. When the detection line 12 is broken, the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is only related to the capacitance values of the other capacitors, so that the difference between the detection value of the detection parameter and the reference value of the detection parameter is large. Therefore, the detection control module 15 can determine whether the detection line 12 is broken by comparing the detection value with the reference value, and further obtain the crack condition of the region to be detected. Preferably, the capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 is much larger than that of the other capacitors, so that the detection control module 15 can clearly distinguish the detection value from the reference value.
In this embodiment, the crack detection device 1 is used for inspecting the crack condition of the glass element 3, and includes an ITO line 2, and the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is related to whether the detection line 12 is broken or not. In this embodiment, a detection parameter related to the capacitance value of the ITO line is designed, and the crack condition of the region to be detected is obtained according to the relationship between the detection value of the detection parameter and the reference value thereof, so that crack detection based on the capacitance value can be realized.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the ITO capacitor includes: the first ITO polar plate is connected with the detection line; the dielectric layer is arranged on one side of the first ITO polar plate; and the second ITO polar plate is arranged on one side of the dielectric layer far away from the first ITO polar plate. Preferably, the first ITO plate is disposed around the glass element. In this embodiment, the ITO capacitor may be regarded as a flat capacitor, and two plates of the flat capacitor are the first ITO plate and the second ITO plate, respectively.
As shown in fig. 1B, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ITO capacitor 11 includes: the first ITO polar plate 111 is arranged on one side, close to the area to be detected, of the glass element 3 and is connected with the detection line 12; the dielectric layer 113 is arranged on one side, far away from the glass element 3, of the first ITO polar plate 111; and the second ITO electrode plate 112 is arranged on one side of the dielectric layer 113 far away from the first ITO electrode plate 111. Preferably, the first ITO plate 111 is attached to the glass element 3.
Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2B and fig. 2C, in an embodiment of the invention, the first ITO plate 111 is disposed on a side of the glass element 3 close to the region to be detected, and the detection lines 12 are disposed around the first ITO plate 111 so as to cover the region to be detected surrounding the first ITO plate 111. Fig. 2A is an exemplary diagram of the first ITO plate 111, fig. 2B is an exemplary diagram of the second ITO plate 112, and fig. 2C is a diagram of a finished product of the ITO capacitor 11 formed by combining the first ITO plate 111 and the second ITO plate 112. In a specific application, the detected value obtaining module 13, the reference value obtaining module 14, and the like in the crack detecting apparatus 1 may be connected to the first ITO plate 111 or the second ITO plate 112 of the ITO capacitor 11 through corresponding pads. In this embodiment, the inspection lines 12 are arranged around the first ITO plate 111, and in this case, the crack detection device 1 can detect cracks within a range of one circle near the first ITO plate 111, that is: the area to be detected 31 is arranged around the first ITO electrode plate 111, and the detection lines 12 are arranged around the area to be detected 31.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the detection value obtaining module 13 includes a charging circuit 131 and a timer 132, and both the charging circuit 131 and the timer 132 are connected to the detection control module 15. The charging circuit 131 includes a power source and a resistor element, and is connected to the ITO capacitor 11 through the detection line 12 to form an RC series circuit. The power supply can charge the ITO capacitor 11 under the control of the detection control module 15.
Specifically, at time t1, the ITO capacitor 11 is in an initial state, and at this time, the detection control module 15 controls the power supply to charge the ITO capacitor through the RC series circuit by the control signal CS, and controls the timer to record the time t1 of starting charging. When the ITO capacitor 11 is charged to a target state, the detection control module 15 controls the timer to record a time t2 at this time through the control signal CS. Therefore, the charging time for charging the ITO capacitor 11 from the initial state to the target state, which is the reference value of the detection parameter, can be obtained according to the difference between the time t2 and the time t 1. The initial state is, for example, an initial voltage value, and the target state is, for example, a target voltage value. The initial voltage value and the target voltage value are both voltage values across the ITO capacitor 11. Preferably, the initial voltage value is approximately 0V.
The detection control module 15 can adjust the output voltage of the power supply by the control signal CS, so that the charging circuit 131 starts to charge the ITO capacitor 11 from time t 1; specifically, before time t1, the detection control module 15 controls the power output voltage to be 0 or low, and adjusts the output voltage to be high from time t 1. The detection control module 15 may also control the on-off state of the charging circuit, so that the charging circuit 131 starts to charge the ITO capacitor 11 from time t 1; specifically, before the time t1, the detection control module 15 controls the charging circuit 131 to be turned off, and controls the charging circuit 131 to be turned on from the time t 1. The above description only exemplifies two charging control manners, but the control of the charging circuit by the detection control module in this embodiment is not limited to the above two manners.
In an embodiment of the invention, the detection value obtaining module 13 further includes a discharging circuit 133. The discharge circuit 133 is connected to the ITO capacitor 11 and the detection control module 15, and is configured to discharge the ITO capacitor 11 under the control of the detection control module 15, so that the ITO capacitor 11 is in the initial state. The discharge circuit 133 is, for example, a low-resistance circuit, and before the time t1, the ITO capacitor 11 is continuously discharged through the discharge circuit 133, so that the amount of charge on the plate thereof is continuously decreased, and finally reaches the initial state.
In some embodiments, the detection parameter is an analog quantity such as a capacitance value or a resistance value. In specific application, the detection control module is usually implemented by a System-on-a-Chip (SoC), and a CPU in the SoC can only process digital quantities, and at this time, the SoC must have an analog-to-digital conversion function to convert the analog quantities into digital quantities, so that the CPU completes crack detection according to the digital quantities. Therefore, in these embodiments, in order to implement crack detection, the SoC must have an analog-to-digital conversion function, which not only increases the requirement for SoC performance and thus increases the cost, but also increases the CPU resource consumption by performing the analog-to-digital conversion.
To address this problem, please refer to fig. 4A, in an embodiment of the present invention, the detection value obtaining module 13 further includes: and an input/output circuit 134 connected to the charging circuit 131 and the detection control module 15, and connected to the ITO capacitor 11 through the detection line 12. The detection control module 15 can adjust the input resistance of the input/output circuit 134 through the control signal CS, so that the input/output circuit 134 is in a high-resistance input state or a low-resistance input state. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the high impedance input state means that the input resistance of the input-output circuit 134 is large enough that the input-output circuit 134 can be considered approximately as an open circuit; at this time, the equivalent circuit diagram for the RC series circuit is shown in fig. 4B. The low resistance input state means that the input resistance of the input-output circuit 134 is small enough that the input-output circuit 134 can be approximately treated as a short circuit; at this time, the equivalent circuit diagram for the RC series circuit is shown in fig. 4C.
Specifically, before time t1, the detection control module 15 controls the input/output circuit to be in a low-resistance input state, and at this time, the ITO capacitor 11 is discharged through the input/output circuit 134 until the ITO capacitor 11 is in the initial state. After time t1, the detection control module 15 controls the input/output circuit 134 to be in a high-impedance input state, and at this time, the power supply E charges the ITO capacitor 11 until the ITO capacitor 11 is in the target state. Therefore, in this embodiment, the detection control module 15 can realize the charging and discharging control of the ITO capacitor 11 by adjusting the input resistance of the input/output circuit 134.
In this embodiment, when the detection control module 15 is implemented by SoC, the I/O circuit of the SoC itself may be used as the input/output circuit 134, and the counter of the SoC itself may be used as the timer 132. Therefore, the crack detection device of the embodiment does not need the SoC to have a digital-to-analog conversion function, reduces the requirements on the SoC performance, and is beneficial to reducing the cost and reducing the resource consumption of the CPU.
In an embodiment of the invention, the reference value obtaining module includes a resistance value obtaining unit, a capacitance parameter obtaining unit, and a reference value calculating unit. The resistance value acquisition unit is connected with the RC series circuit and the detection control module and is used for acquiring a resistance value R of the RC series circuit; the obtaining of the resistance value R may be implemented by using an existing resistance measurement circuit or resistance measurement equipment, and details are not repeated here.
And the capacitance parameter acquisition unit is connected with the ITO capacitor and the reference value calculation unit and is used for acquiring the capacitance parameter of the ITO capacitor. Wherein the capacitance parameters include an effective area S of the ITO capacitor, a relative permittivity of an inter-electrode medium, and a thickness d of the ITO capacitor.
The reference value calculating unit can calculate the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO capacitor according to the capacitance parameter, and calculate the theoretical capacitance value C of the ITO circuit according to the theoretical capacitance value and the capacitance values of the other capacitors. Further, the reference value calculating unit can calculate theoretical charging time of the ITO capacitor from the initial state to the target state according to a theoretical capacitance value C of the ITO line and a resistance value R of the RC series circuit; the theoretical charging time is the reference value of the detection parameter.
For example, if the voltage across the ITO capacitor in the initial state is 0, and the voltage across the ITO capacitor in the target state is Vt, then the theoretical charging time t is calculated by the following formula:
wherein E is the power supply voltage of the RC series circuit.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection value obtaining module obtains a capacitance value of the ITO line as the detection value of the detection parameter; and the reference value acquisition module acquires the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit as the reference value of the detection parameter. The detection control module can judge whether the detection line is broken or not by comparing the capacitance value of the ITO circuit with the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit, and further can acquire the crack state of the area to be detected. The capacitance value of the ITO circuit can be realized by using the existing capacitance measurement scheme or measurement equipment, and the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit can be calculated according to the capacitance parameter of the ITO capacitor, the capacitance values of the other capacitors and the circuit connection mode.
Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment of the invention, the crack detection apparatus includes:

In addition, the capacitance value of the other capacitors acquired by the reference value acquisition module is about 5-20 pF, and the resistance value R of the RC series circuit is 100 Kohm. The other capacitances include parasitic capacitances such as I/O, PCB wiring capacitance. In addition, the SoC converts the threshold voltage V of the input/output circuittSet to E/2.

By contrast, in the present embodiment, the difference between the detection value and the reference value is about 20 times, so the CPU can clearly and accurately distinguish the detection value from the reference value.
According to the above description of the crack detection device, the invention also provides an electronic device. The electronic equipment comprises a glass element, an ITO capacitor, a detection line and a control chip circuit. The detection line is connected with the ITO capacitor to form an ITO circuit; the detection line is attached to a to-be-detected area of the glass element and is broken when cracks appear in the to-be-detected area, so that the capacitance value of the ITO circuit is changed; the control chip circuit is connected with the ITO capacitor and is used for acquiring a detection value and a reference value of a detection parameter and judging whether cracks exist in the area to be detected or not according to the detection value and the reference value; wherein the detection parameter is related to a capacitance value of the ITO line; the reference value of the detection parameter is related to the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit. Preferably, the ITO capacitor is attached to one side of the glass element.
Specifically, the control chip circuit comprises a charging circuit and an SoC chip. The charging circuit is connected with the ITO capacitor through the detection line to form an RC series circuit, and is used for charging the ITO capacitor under the control of the SoC chip so as to charge the ITO capacitor from an initial state to a target state. The SoC chip is connected to the charging circuit through its own I/O circuit, and is connected to the ITO capacitor 111 through its own I/O circuit and the detection line, for controlling the crack detection device 1 and obtaining the crack state of the region to be detected. The structures and functions of the ITO capacitor, the detection line and the control chip circuit in the electronic equipment are the same as those of the crack detection device, and are not repeated herein for saving the description space.
According to the above description of the crack detection apparatus, the present invention also provides a crack detection method; the crack detection method is applied to the crack detection device. Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment of the invention, the crack detection method includes:
s71, acquiring a detection value of a detection parameter; the detection parameter is related to the capacitance value of the ITO circuit; wherein the detection parameter is related to the capacitance value of the ITO line 2; the detection value of the detection parameter is a value obtained according to the actual capacitance value of the ITO line 2, and the actual capacitance value of the ITO line 2 depends on the actual capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 and the capacitance values of the other capacitors.
S72, acquiring a reference value of the detection parameter according to the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO circuit; the reference value of the detection parameter is a value calculated according to a theoretical capacitance value of the ITO line 2 under the assumption that the ITO line 2 is in a pass state. In addition, the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO line 2 depends on the theoretical capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 and the capacitance values of the other capacitors.
And S73, judging whether the area to be detected has cracks or not according to the detection value and the reference value.
Specifically, when the detection line 12 is not broken, the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is related to not only the capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 but also the capacitance values of other capacitors in the crack detection device 1; since the actual capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 does not differ much from the theoretical capacitance value thereof, the detection value of the detection parameter is approximately equal to the reference value of the detection parameter.
When the detection line 12 is broken, the capacitance value of the ITO line 2 is only related to the capacitance values of the other capacitors, so that the difference between the detection value of the detection parameter and the reference value of the detection parameter is large. Therefore, the detection control module 15 can determine whether the detection line 12 is broken by comparing the detection value with the reference value, and further obtain the crack condition of the region to be detected. Preferably, the capacitance value of the ITO capacitor 11 is much larger than that of the other capacitors, so that the CPU can clearly distinguish the detection value from the reference value.
The protection scope of the crack detection method of the present invention is not limited to the execution sequence of the steps listed in this embodiment, and all the solutions implemented by the steps addition, subtraction, and step replacement in the prior art according to the principles of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.

And a detection control module in the crack detection device can judge whether cracks exist in the region to be detected according to the detection value and the reference value. Therefore, the crack detection device can realize the crack detection of the glass element according to the capacitance value of the ITO circuit.
The crack detection device may set a charging time of the ITO capacitor as a detection value of the detection parameter, and set a theoretical charging time as a reference value of the detection parameter. At this time, the crack detection device may use an I/O circuit of the SoC itself to control charging and discharging of the ITO capacitor, and use a counter of the SoC itself to obtain the charging time. Therefore, digital-to-analog conversion is not needed in the crack detection process, and the SoC does not need to have the digital-to-analog conversion function. Therefore, the crack detection device has relatively low requirements on SoC, and is beneficial to reducing the cost and improving the utilization rate of a CPU.
