DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The accompanying drawings are only for illustrative descriptions and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present patent; in order to better illustrate the present embodiment, some parts of the accompanying drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent a size of an actual product; it is understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures in the drawings and their descriptions may be omitted. The positional relationship described in the drawings is only for illustrative descriptions and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present patent.

[0037] As in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection according to some embodiments is provided, which includes a pivoting member and a supporting member for pivoting and supporting the pivoting member. The pivoting member rotates around a rotating center line. The stage light further includes at least one light source for projecting light beams. A reflecting grating 400 is attached on the pivoting member, which rotates along with the pivoting member. A signal grating 300 is attached on the supporting member, which is arranged oppositely with the reflecting grating 400, Center lines of the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 both coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member. The signal grating 300 includes a plurality of capacitance emitting pieces 320, a capacitance receiving piece 340, and a shielding piece 350 that is located between the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 for avoiding direct capacitance coupling between the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340. The reflecting grating 400 includes a plurality of capacitance reflecting pieces 410 that reflect signals sent from the capacitance emitting pieces 320 to the capacitance receiving piece 340.

[0038] According to the stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection, by directly attaching the signal grating 300 to the supporting member to be relatively stationary, the signal grating 300 is attached onto the supporting member to rotate along with the supporting member, and the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 are arranged oppositely. When in operation, a periodic excitation signal applied to the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 300 finally forms a composite signal on the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 300 through coupling of two pairs of capacitors of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 300 and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400, and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 3M). Based on a principle of a capacitance change, with proper preventive measures, there are advantages of oil pollution prevention, dust prevention, insensitivity to air humidity and temperature and the like, a detection performance is thus more stable. What's more, a rotation angle of the pivoting member is directly measured, a deviation in a transmission process thus will not affect measurement of an actual result.

[0039] A working principle of the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 is that after the signal emitted by the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 30) is reflected by the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400, it is then received by the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 300. The reflecting grating 400 thus generally does not need to be connected to any signal line, and the signal grating 300 needs to be connected to a signal line. Therefore, it is preferable to attach the reflecting grating 400 that does not need to be connected to a signal line on the rotating pivoting member, and the signal grating 300 that needs to be connected to the signal line is arranged on the supporting member, which conforms to general design routine. It should be pointed out that if the reflecting grating 400 is forcibly attached on the supporting member and the signal grating 300 is attached on the pivoting member in order to circumvent the present application, it should be regarded as an inferior design of the present application, and is also within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] According to a preferred embodiment, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the pivoting member can be a light holder 110 of the stage light, and the supporting member can be a supporting arm 120 of the light holder 110. According to other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the pivoting member can be the light holder 110 of the stage light and the supporting arm 120, and the supporting member can be a light base 130 of the stage light.

[0041] In some embodiments, at least one of a light beam shading component, a pattern reshaping component, a color rendering component, a focusing lens component, a light splitting component, an atomizing component, and a magnifying lens component is arranged in the pivoting member. The various above-mentioned components are generally located in the light holder 110 of the stage light, and respectively realize effects of shading peripheries of a light beam, reshaping patterns of the light beam, rendering colors of the light beam, adjusting a focus of the light beam, splitting the light beam, homogenizing light of the light beam, and magnifying light spots.

[0042] As in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, according to these embodiments, the capacitance emitting pieces 320 are divided into multiple groups, all the groups are equal in number. The capacitance reflecting pieces 410 are also arranged into multiple pieces corresponding to the number of the groups of the capacitance emitting pieces 320, and the capacitance receiving piece 340 is a single piece which receives all signals of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 reflected by the capacitance reflecting pieces 410.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the capacitance receiving piece 340 is located at a center position of the signal grating 300, and the capacitance emitting pieces 320 surround the capacitance receiving piece 340. In a case of the same area of the signal grating 300, more capacitance emitting pieces 320 in such configuration can be arranged conveniently, thus improving detection accuracy.

[0044] As in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the embodiment, each group of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 are numbered clockwise or anticlockwise, circuit connecting points 321 of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 with the same number are all connected with a same conductive ring 330 to connect a same circuit. The conductive ring 330 is located on a side, away from the reflecting grating 400, of the capacitance emitting pieces 320, so that the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the same number can be easily connected to the same circuit.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, distances from the circuit connecting points 321 of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 with the same number to a center of the signal grating 300 are equal. In this way, the multiple conductive rings 330 can be designed into circular and arranged in a concentric ring, which facilitates designing and processing.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the shielding piece 350 includes a plurality of conductive posts 351 located between the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340, and a first conductive piece 352 located on a side, away from the reflecting grating 400, of the capacitance receiving piece 340. The conductive posts 351 are connected to the first conductive piece 352. The configuration of the conductive posts 351 enables the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 to have a good shielding effect from a side close to the reflecting grating 400 to a side away from the reflecting grating 400. In the present embodiment, the conductive posts 351 are arranged closely, and an interval between each other is less than 1 mm.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a projection of the first conductive piece 352 in a direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance receiving piece 340 and is within a range of the capacitance emitting pieces 320, so that good shielding effect can be kept.

[0048] As in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in a preferred embodiment, the multiple pieces of capacitance reflecting pieces 410 are all electrically connected with a same second conductive piece 411. The second conductive piece 411 is located on a side, away from the signal grating 300, of the capacitance reflecting pieces 410, and a projection of the second conductive piece 411 in the direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance reflecting pieces 410. The second conductive piece 411 plays a shielding role.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the reflecting grating 400 further includes a third conductive piece 412 located in a same plane with the capacitance reflecting pieces 410, a peripheral edge of the third conductive piece 412 has a plurality of notches, in which the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 are correspondingly located. However, the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 are not in conducting with the third conductive piece 412. The third conductive piece 412 also plays a shielding role.

[0050] As in FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment, the capacitance emitting pieces 320 are divided into 15 groups, there are 8 capacitance emitting pieces in each group, and the number of the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 is also 15. The larger the number of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 is, the higher the detection accuracy will be.

[0051] According to an embodiment, each group of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 is numbered from A to H, the capacitance emitting pieces 320 with the same number are connected to the same circuit, 8 equal amplitude and same frequency square wave excitation voltage signals with each phase difference by π/4 are respectively added on the capacitance emitting pieces 320 numbered A-H. The same excitation signal is applied to each group of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 with the same number, and after coupling of two pairs of capacitors, i.e. the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410, and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 and the capacitance receiving piece 340, a capacitance-grating voltage signal is formed on the capacitance receiving piece 340.

[0052] As in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, in a preferred embodiment, a side, close to the signal grating 300, of the reflecting grating 400 and a side, away from the signal grating 300, of the reflecting grating 400 are both provided with an insulating protective piece 420. It is avoided that electrodes of the reflecting grating 400 make contact with other elements, causing a short circuit. A shape and a size of the insulating protective piece 420 corresponds to those of the reflecting grating 400.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the reflecting grating 400 is attached to a pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member. The signal grating 300 is generally arranged in the supporting member because it needs to be connected with a signal line, a terminal end of the pivoting shaft 200 can also stretch into the supporting member, thus, the reflecting grating 400 without needing to be connected with a signal line is attached onto the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member so as to be detected by the signal grating 300.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, two ends of the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member run through, and a cable connecting the pivoting member and the supporting member passes through the pivoting shaft 200, so that the pivoting shaft 200 provided with the reflecting grating 400 has a wire passing function at the same time. Even when the pivoting member has only one pivoting shaft 200 or w % ben a wire needs to pass through both two pivoting shafts 200 of the pivoting member, signal and electric energy transmitting between the pivoting member and the supporting member will still not be affected.

[0055] As in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in a preferred embodiment, one end of a rod body 210 is connected with the reflecting grating 400, and the other end thereof is connected with an end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft 200. Due to the fact that a center line of a through hole formed by that the two ends of the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member run through generally coincides with the rotating center line of the pivoting member, the reflecting grating 400 cannot be attached onto the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member conveniently. While through the rod body 210, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member run through, a center line of the reflecting grating 400 can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member. In the present embodiment, the pivoting member is the light holder 110 of the stage light, the supporting member is the supporting arm 120 of the light holder 110, and due to the fact that elements in the light holder 110 are numerous, a space is limited, and the rod body 210 is inconvenient to install and fix, the rod body 210 is directly connected with the end portion of the pivoting shaft 200 of the light holder 110.

[0056] As in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in a preferred embodiment, the rod body 210 is located in the pivoting shaft 200 and arranged in parallel with the pivoting shaft 200. One end of the rod body 210 is connected with the reflecting grating 400, and the other end thereof is connected with the pivoting member. When an internal space of the pivoting member is proper, the rod body 210 is located in the pivoting shaft 200 and directly connected with the pivoting member, which is simpler compared with a structure of connection with the end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft 200, and similarly, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member run through. The center line of the reflecting grating 400 can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member. In the present embodiment, the pivoting member is the light holder 110 of the stage light and the supporting arm 120, and the supporting member is the light base 130 of the stage light.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the reflecting grating 400 is in annular shape, and the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member passes through the reflecting grating 400. That is, the reflecting grating 400 directly sleeves outside the pivoting shaft 200, or the reflecting grating 400 is attached onto the pivoting member, but is arranged around the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member. When the reflecting grating 400 cannot be attached to the end portion of the pivoting shaft 200, such structure can still realize that the center line of the reflecting grating 400 keep coincident with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic sensor attached to the pivoting member and a magnetic switch attached to the supporting member for detecting the magnetic sensor are further included. The magnetic sensor and the magnetic switch act jointly to perform starting point detection or resetting detection.

[0059] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples to clearly illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other changes or modifications in different forms can also be made on the basis of the above description. It is unnecessary and impossible to list all the implementation modes here. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
