BallspielenPlay ball
BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung von Tortreffern bei Ballspielen, wie z. B. Tischfußball mit einem Ball und wenigstens einem Tor.The invention relates to a device for detecting goal hits in ball games, such as. B. table football with a ball and at least one goal.
Bei Ballspielen ist einer der wichtigsten Vorgänge die kor¬ rekte Erfassung eines Tores, und diese führt in Zweifelsfäl¬ len häufig zu Diskussionen und Streitigkeiten. Eine unabhän¬ gige bzw. neutrale Torerfassung wäre daher erwünscht.In ball games, one of the most important processes is the correct detection of a goal, and in cases of doubt this often leads to discussions and disputes. An independent or neutral gate detection would therefore be desirable.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Ball¬ spiel, wie z. B. Tischfußball eine automatische Torerfassung zu schaffen.The invention has for its object in a ball game such. B. table football to create an automatic goal detection.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß bei einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbil¬ dungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments of the device according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dient somit zur Erfassung von Tortreffern bei Ballspielen, wie z. B. Tischfußball, mit einem Ball und wenigstens einem Tor. Bei dieser Vorrichtung ist der Ball mit einer Markierung versehen. Außerdem ist ein auf die Markierung entsprechender Sensor vorgesehen, der den Torbereich erfaßt und dessen Ausgangssignal bei einem Tor¬ treffer diesen anzeigt.A device according to the invention thus serves to record goal hits in ball games, such as. B. table football with a ball and at least one goal. In this device, the ball is marked. In addition, a sensor corresponding to the marking is provided, which detects the goal area and whose output signal indicates this when a goal is hit.
Durch die Ballmarkierung ist in Kombination mit einem auf ei¬ ne solche Markierung ansprechenden Sensor ermöglicht, den Ball im Erfassungsbereich des Sensors auf neutrale Weise zu erfassen. Es kommt nicht mehr auf das Augenmaß eines Spielers oder eines Beobachters an, sondern vielmehr kann ein Tortref¬ fer objektiv festgestellt werden.The ball marking in combination with a sensor responsive to such a marking enables the ball to be detected in a neutral manner in the detection area of the sensor. It is no longer a question of a player or an observer, but rather a goal hit can be determined objectively.
Vorzugsweise besteht die Ballmarkierung darin, daß der Ball einen magnetischen oder ferromagnetischen Kern aufweist, wo¬ bei zweckmäßig der Sensor eine das Tor umgebende Spule ist. Die Herstellung des Balls ist so recht einfach und die Mar¬ kierung zugleich verschleißfest. Ebenso läßt sich eine ent¬ sprechende Leiterschleife einfach um das Tor herum legen, wo¬ bei die Spule eine oder auch mehrere Windungen, wie benötigt, umfaßt . Die Spulenwicklung kann dabei in einer Lage oder auch in mehreren übereinanderliegenden Lagen erfolgen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfolgt die Ballerfassung induktiv mittels der in der Leiterschleife induzierten Spannung bei Balldurch¬ lauf. Das entsprechende Sensorausgangssignal kann zur Toran¬ zeige dienen oder auch in einer entsprechend vorgesehenen Auswerteeinrichtung weiterverarbeitet werden. Alternativ kann auch der Ball mit einem Metallkern versehen sein, wobei dann der Sensor ein Metalldetektor ist. Die Ände¬ rung des Magnetfeldes durch den Metallkern bewirkt eine Stro¬ mänderung in der Spule.The ball marking is preferably such that the ball has a magnetic or ferromagnetic core, the sensor advantageously being a coil surrounding the goal. The production of the ball is quite simple and the marking is wear-resistant at the same time. Likewise, a corresponding conductor loop can easily be placed around the gate, the coil comprising one or more turns as required. The coil winding can take place in one layer or in several layers one above the other. In this embodiment, the ball is detected inductively by means of the voltage induced in the conductor loop when the ball passes. The corresponding sensor output signal can be used to display the gate or can be further processed in an appropriately provided evaluation device. Alternatively, the ball can also be provided with a metal core, in which case the sensor is a metal detector. The change in the magnetic field through the metal core causes a change in current in the coil.
Anhand der erfaßten Amplitude des Sensor-Tortreffersignals kann auch eine unerwünschte Manipulation der Spieler festge¬ stellt werden, wenn diese beispielsweise einen Magneten in den Torbereich einbringen, der zu einem entsprechenden Sen¬ sorsignal führt. Die entsprechende Amplitude ist dann deut¬ lich höher als diejenige, die durch einen Balldurchlauf er¬ zielt wird.On the basis of the detected amplitude of the sensor goal hit signal, an undesired manipulation of the players can also be determined if, for example, they introduce a magnet into the goal area, which leads to a corresponding sensor signal. The corresponding amplitude is then significantly higher than that which is achieved by passing the ball.
Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemä¬ ßen Tortreffer-Erfassungsvorrichtung ist eine Diskriminati- onseinrichtung vorgesehen, die den Balleinlauf in das Tor mittels Vorzeichen und/oder Amplitude des Sensor-Tortreffer¬ signals diskriminiert. So kann es beispielsweise vorkommen, daß ein Ball an einer Rückwand im Torbereich reflektiert wird und nach dem Toreinlauf wieder zurückläuft, was zu einem wei¬ teren Sensorsignal führen kann. Das Vorzeichen dieses Signals ist dann umgekehrt zu dem des ersteren. Auch ist die Ballge¬ schwindigkeit geringer, so daß die Amplitude des Sensorgsi- gnals kleiner ist. Anhand des Vorzeichens und/oder der Ampli¬ tude kann daher ein Ballrücklauf von einem Balleinlauf, d. h. einem echten Tortreffer, unterschieden werden. Des weiteren kann auch in der oben erwähnten Auswerteeinrichtung ein Zeit- fenster vorgesehen sein. Tritt unmittelbar nach einem ersten und damit echten Tortreffersignal des Sensors ein weiteres Sensorsignal innerhalb des betreffenden Zeitintervalls auf, so wird dieses zweite Sensorausgangssignal als Tortreffer ausgeschlossen, da es sich hierbei um einen Rücklauf des Balls handelt.In a preferred exemplary embodiment of the goal hit detection device according to the invention, a discrimination device is provided which discriminates the ball entry into the goal by means of the sign and / or amplitude of the sensor hit hit signal. It can happen, for example, that a ball is reflected on a rear wall in the goal area and runs back again after the goal has entered, which can lead to a further sensor signal. The sign of this signal is then reversed to that of the former. The ball speed is also lower, so that the amplitude of the sensor signal is smaller. A ball return can therefore be distinguished from a ball run-in, ie a real goal, on the basis of the sign and / or the amplitude. Furthermore, a time window can also be provided in the evaluation device mentioned above. Another occurs immediately after a first and thus real goal hit signal from the sensor Sensor signal within the relevant time interval, this second sensor output signal is excluded as a goal hit, since this is a return of the ball.
Es kann auch wie erwähnt eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung und auch eine Anzeigeeinrichtung vorgesehen sein, die den Spiel¬ stand erfaßt und anzeigt. So können beispielsweise die Tor¬ treffer aufaddiert und ihre Gesamtzahl für jede Mannschaft angezeigt werden, so daß aufgrund des jederzeit feststellba¬ ren Spielstandes der Spielanreiz erhöht ist.As mentioned, a processing device and also a display device can be provided which detects and displays the game status. For example, the goals scored can be added up and their total number can be displayed for each team, so that the incentive to play is increased due to the fact that the score can be determined at any time.
Außerdem kann zur Steigerung des Spielerinteresses eine Er¬ fassungseinrichtung der Ballgeschwindigkeit vorgesehen sein, die die Amplitude und/oder Dauer des Sensor-Tortreffersignals verarbeitet und den sich ergebenden Geschwindigkeitswert an die erwähnte Anzeigeeinrichtung ausgibt. Dies kommt dem in letzter Zeit zunehmend erhöhten Interesse an der Feststellung der Ballgeschwindigkeiten entgegen.In addition, in order to increase player interest, a recording device for the ball speed can be provided, which processes the amplitude and / or duration of the sensor hit signal and outputs the resulting speed value to the display device mentioned. This is in response to the recent increasing interest in determining ball speeds.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden weiter anhand eines Ausfüh¬ rungsbeispiels und der Zeichnung beschrieben, wobei diese Be¬ schreibung lediglich zu Beispielzwecken dient und die Erfin¬ dung nicht einschränken soll. Die Erfindung ist auch nicht durch spezielle Kombinationen in den Unteransprüchen einge¬ schränkt, sondern ihr Umfang durch den Schutzumfang der An¬ sprüche gegeben.The invention is further described below with the aid of an exemplary embodiment and the drawing, this description serving only for example purposes and not intended to limit the invention. The invention is also not restricted by special combinations in the subclaims, but its scope is given by the scope of protection of the claims.

Fig. 2 eine schematische Schnittansicht nach Linie A-A von Fig. 1.FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view along line A-A of FIG. 1.
Es wird im folgenden eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Tortreffererfassung anhand eines Tischfußballspiels und Fig. 1 und 2 der Zeichnung dargestellt. Auf einer Spielfläche 2 ist eine Torwand 4 angeordnet, wobei die Spielfläche 2 und die Torwand 4 lediglich ausschnittsweise veranschaulicht sind. Die Torwand 4 ist mit einem rechteckförmigen Ausschnitt 6 versehen, der somit eine Toröffnung 10 und den Torraum bil¬ det. Um die Toröffnung herum ist eine Luftspule 8 angeordnet, von der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel acht Windungen in zwei Lagen gewickelt sind. Die Luftspule 8 verläuft durch die Spielfläche 2 und durch die Torwand.In the following, a device according to the invention for scoring goals is illustrated using a table football game and FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing. A goal wall 4 is arranged on a game area 2, the game area 2 and goal wall 4 being illustrated only in part. The goal wall 4 is provided with a rectangular cutout 6, which thus forms a goal opening 10 and the goal area. An air coil 8 is arranged around the gate opening, of which eight windings are wound in two layers in the exemplary embodiment shown. The air coil 8 runs through the playing surface 2 and through the goal wall.
In Torbereich ist ein erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteter Ball 10 angeordnet. Der Ball 10 weist einen magnetischen Kern 12 und einen Mantel 14 aus Kunststoffmaterial auf.A ball 10 equipped according to the invention is arranged in the goal area. The ball 10 has a magnetic core 12 and a jacket 14 made of plastic material.
Tritt der Ball 10 beim Spiel im Falle eines Tortreffers in den Torraum 6 ein, so wird aufgrund seines magnetischen Kerns 12 in der Luftspule 8 eine Spannung induziert. Das sich hier¬ aus ergebende Sensorausgleichssignal kann zur Tortrefferan¬ zeige weiterverarbeitet werden. If the ball 10 enters the goal area 6 in the event of a goal being hit, a voltage is induced in the air coil 8 due to its magnetic core 12. The sensor compensation signal resulting therefrom can be processed further to display the goal hit.
