Along the length of the table, on each of the two sides, there is a series of control levers, each lever corresponding to the displacement of a player. Each player is connected to a carriage (20) comprising to two motors (22,23) each driving a wheel (28) with an electronic sensor. Each lever is inserted into a transmitter device, in order to control the application of the supply to one or other of the two motors, operating in one or other of two possible directions.

Description

La présente invention concerne un jeu du genre football de table.The present invention relates to a game of the genre table football.

On connait différents jeux de ce type mais ceux-ci ne permettent pas de déplacer les pions simulant les joueurs sur toute la surface de jeu.We know different games of this type but these do not allow to move the pawns simulating players across the playing surface.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un jeu dans lequel les pions peuvent se déplacer sur toute la surface de jeu pour imiter le jeu tel qu'il se pratique sur un terrain.One of the aims of the present invention is to make a game in which the pawns can move all over the playing surface to imitate the game as it is practiced on a ground.

Le jeu, selon l'invention, est du type comprenant une surface de jeu, des pions imitant les joueurs et une boule simulant un ballon, et est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend, le long de la table, sur chacun de deux côtés opposés, une série de leviers de commande, chaque levier correspondant au déplacement d'un joueur, chaque joueur étant relié à un chariot comportant deux moteurs entraínant, chacun, une roue et un ensemble récepteur électronique, tandis que chaque levier de commande est inséré sur un ensemble émetteur pour commander sélectivement l'alimentation de l'un ou l'autre des moteurs dans un sens ou dans l'autre.The game according to the invention is of the type including a playing surface, pawns imitating the players and a ball simulating a ball, and is characterized by what he understands, along the table, on each of two opposite sides, a series of control levers, each lever corresponding to the movement of a player, each player being connected to a cart comprising two motors, each, a wheel and a set electronic receiver, while each control lever is inserted on a transmitter assembly to control selectively supplying one or other of the motors one way or the other.

Suivant une caractéristique constructive, la table comporte deux plateaux parallèles, un plateau supérieur et un plateau inférieur entre lesquels sont disposés les chariots, convenablement guidés entre lesdits plateaux et comportant, à leur partie supérieure, un aimant permanent, tandis que chaque joueur présente un socle dans lequel est inséré un aimant permanent correspondant. Ainsi le jeu ne présente aucune partie mécanique visible.According to a constructive characteristic, the table has two parallel trays, a tray upper and lower tray between which are arranged the carriages, suitably guided between said trays and having, at their upper part, a magnet permanent, while each player has a base in which a corresponding permanent magnet is inserted. So the game has no visible mechanical parts.

Afin de ne former aucun frein tant à la surface du jeu pour le joueur que pour le chariot, les aimants du chariot et du socle du joueur sont fixés de manière qu'un léger espace soit ménagé entre les deux faces du plateau supérieur correspondant.In order not to form any brake both on the surface of the game for the player than for the cart, the magnets carriage and player base are securely attached a slight space is provided between the two faces of the corresponding upper plate.

Suivant un détail constructif, le plateau supérieur présente une surface supérieure constituée d'un tapis, d'une ossature, d'un isolant et d'une surface conductrice.According to a constructive detail, the plateau upper has an upper surface consisting of a carpet, frame, insulation and surface conductive.

Suivant une caractéristique constructive, le plateau inférieur présente une surface supérieure conductrice, un isolant et une ossature.According to a constructive characteristic, the lower plate has a conductive upper surface, insulation and a frame.

De préférence, chaque chariot comporte des billes isolantes coopérant avec la face inférieure du plateau supérieur et des billes isolantes coopérant avec la face supérieure du plateau inférieur. Ainsi les chariots peuvent évoluer dans toutes les directions entre les plateaux.Preferably, each carriage has insulating balls cooperating with the underside of the upper plate and insulating balls cooperating with the upper face of the lower plate. So the carts can move in all directions between trays.

De préférence, chaque chariot comporte des frotteurs coopérant avec la surface conductrice du plateau supérieur et des frotteurs coopérant avec la surface conductrice du plateau inférieur. Ainsi on réalise d'une manière simple l'alimentation des différents circuits portés par les chariots.Preferably, each carriage has wipers cooperating with the conductive surface of the plate upper and wipers cooperating with the conductive surface of the lower plate. So we realize in a way simple supply of the various circuits carried by the carts.

Suivant encore une autre caractéristique, chaque levier est relié à un microcontrôleur émetteur permettant à un microcontrôleur gestionnaire de réseau de communiquer avec lesdits microcontrôleurs émetteurs de messages liés à la position des manettes pour transmettre ces commandes à un modem associant par la technique des courants porteurs, les messages à l'alimentation de modules récepteurs des chariots, comprenant un modem démodulateur en amont d'un microcontrôleur récepteur de messages et dans lequel sont insérés les moteurs associés à des ponts de Darlington.According to yet another characteristic, each lever is connected to a transmitting microcontroller allowing a network manager microcontroller to communicate with said transmitting microcontrollers messages related to the position of the joysticks to transmit these commands to a modem associating by the technique of carrier currents, messages to the module supply trolley receivers, including a modem receiver upstream of a message receiving microcontroller and in which the motors associated with bridges are inserted from Darlington.

Enfin, suivant une dernière caractéristique, les leviers commandent deux potentiomètres dont les tensions présentes sur le port analogique définissent pour l'un trois zones, une zone de repos intermédiaire, entre une zone de marche avant et une zone de marche arrière, tandis que l'autre définit trois zones, une zone de repos intermédiaire, entre une zone de pivotement vers la droite et une zone de pivotement vers la gauche, la génération de ces tensions étant simulée par deux comparateurs afin que la tension analogique comparée à une tension de référence haute et à une tension de référence basse, la valeur de sortie de ces comparateurs étant des bits qui déterminent le sens de rotation des moteurs. Finally, according to a last characteristic, the levers control two potentiometers whose voltages present on the analog port define for one three zones, an intermediate rest zone, between a forward and reverse areas, while that the other defines three zones, an intermediate rest zone, between a right pivot area and a pivot area to the left, the generation of these voltages being simulated by two comparators so that analog voltage compared to a reference voltage high and at a low reference voltage, the value output of these comparators being bits that determine the direction of rotation of the motors.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The invention will now be described with more details with reference to an embodiment particular given by way of example only and shown to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 3 est une vue en plan par dessus d'un chariot.Figure 3 is a plan view from above of a cart.

Figure 4 est une vue d'un schéma montrant le système récepteur.Figure 4 is a view of a diagram showing the receiving system.

Figure 5 est un schéma de principe général.Figure 5 is a general block diagram.

Figure 6 montre le schéma de commande à partir des leviers de commande.Figure 6 shows the control diagram from control levers.

Le jeu, représenté aux figures, comprend une table 1 sur laquelle peuvent évoluer un certain nombre de joueurs 2 et de chaque côté une série d'organes de commande 3, chaque organe de commande 3 comprenant un levier ramené automatiquement dans une position neutre dans laquelle celui-ci n'est pas effectif et une position basculée vers l'avant commandant le déplacement dans une direction du joueur 2, et, basculée dans le sens opposé, le déplacement dans une direction opposée, les positions intermédiaires permettant le pivotement du joueur vers la droite et vers la gauche.The game, shown in the figures, includes a table 1 on which a number can evolve of players 2 and on each side a series of organs of control 3, each control member 3 comprising a lever automatically returned to a neutral position in which it is not effective and a position tilted forward controlling movement in a direction of player 2, and, flipped in the opposite direction, moving in an opposite direction, positions intermediaries allowing the player to pivot towards right and left.

La table comprend un plateau supérieur 4 et un plateau inférieur 6, ces plateaux étant rigoureusement parallèles, le plateau 4 présentant une surface supérieure 7 constituée, par exemple, par un tapis indéchirable sur lequel peuvent, d'une part, se déplacer les joueurs et, d'autre part, une balle 11, une ossature 8 devant résister aux contraintes thermiques et mécaniques, un isolant 9 et une surface conductrice 10 formée, par exemple, de bandes de carbones métallisées ou d'un maillage conducteur en cuivre.The table includes an upper plate 4 and a lower plate 6, these plates being strictly parallel, the plate 4 having an upper surface 7 constituted, for example, by a tear-resistant mat on which can, on the one hand, move the players and, on the other hand, a ball 11, a frame 8 having to resist thermal and mechanical constraints, an insulator 9 and a conductive surface 10 formed, for example, of metallized carbon strips or a conductive mesh in copper.

Le plateau inférieur 6 est formé d'une ossature 12 sur laquelle reposent, d'une part, un isolant 13 et, d'autre part, une surface conductrice 14 du même type que la surface 10.The lower plate 6 is formed of a framework 12 on which rest, on the one hand, an insulator 13 and, on the other hand, a conductive surface 14 of the same type than the surface 10.

Chaque joueur s'érige à partir d'un socle 16 prévu pour glisser librement sur la surface supérieure 7, sous la surface inférieure du socle étant fixé un aimant permanent 17, celui-ci étant monté de manière à se trouver très légèrement écarté de la surface supérieure 7.Each player is erected from a base 16 designed to slide freely on the upper surface 7, under the lower surface of the base being fixed a magnet permanent 17, the latter being mounted so as to be very slightly away from the upper surface 7.

Entre les deux plateaux 4 et 6 sont logés des chariots 20, chaque chariot correspondant à un joueur.Between the two plates 4 and 6 are housed carts 20, each cart corresponding to a player.

Chaque chariot 20 comprend un compartiment inférieur 21 et un compartiment supérieur 22.Each carriage 20 includes a compartment lower 21 and an upper compartment 22.

Dans le compartiment 21 sont logés deux moteurs 22 et 23 à courant continu, l'arbre de sortie 24 du moteur 22 entraínant à travers un système démultiplicateur 25 une roue 26 roulant sur le plateau 6, tandis que l'arbre de sortie 29 du moteur 23, par un système démultiplicateur 27, entraíne une roue 28.In compartment 21 are housed two motors 22 and 23 direct current, the output shaft 24 of the motor 22 driving through a reduction system 25 a wheel 26 rolling on the plate 6, while the shaft output 29 of motor 23, by a reduction system 27, drives a wheel 28.

Le schéma de la figure 4 montre le système de commande des moteurs 22 et 23. The diagram in Figure 4 shows the system motors 22 and 23.

Les organes de commande comportent deux potentiomètres dont le levier entraíne un curseur (voir figure 6).The controls have two potentiometers whose lever drives a cursor (see figure 6).

Les tensions présentes sur le port analogique, lors de l'excursion du levier, définissent trois zones, une zone de repos intermédiaire, entre une zone de marche avant et une zone de marche arrière.The voltages present on the analog port, during the lever excursion, define three zones, an intermediate rest area, between a walking area forward and a reverse area.

Sur le second potentiomètre, on définit également trois zones, une zone de repos entre une zone de pivotement sur la droite et une zone de pivotement sur la gauche.On the second potentiometer, we also define three zones, a rest zone between a zone of swivel on the right and a swivel area on left.

On simule la génération de ces tensions par l'utilisation de deux comparateurs. La tension analogique est ainsi comparée simultanément à une tension de référence haute, VrefH et à une tension de référence basse VrefB.We simulate the generation of these voltages by the use of two comparators. Analog voltage is thus compared simultaneously to a reference voltage high, VrefH and at a low reference voltage VrefB.

Les valeurs de sortie de ces comparateurs sont les bits qui déterminent le sens de rotation des moteurs. En fait deux relais 32 et 33 définissent, par la position de leurs contacts, ce sens de rotation.The output values of these comparators are the bits that determine the direction of rotation of engines. In fact two relays 32 and 33 define, by the position of their contacts, this direction of rotation.

Ces relais commandent la mise en marche des moteurs à courant continu 22 et 23 logés dans le compartiment 21.These relays control the switching on of the DC motors 22 and 23 housed in the compartment 21.

Le levier 3 est relié à un microcontrôleur PIC émetteur 58. Les entrées parallèles reçoivent les 4 bits de rotation des moteurs ; deux entrées du convertisseur analogique digital, intégré dans le microntrôleur, reçoivent les deux signaux analogiques des deux potentiomètres.Lever 3 is connected to a microcontroller Transmitting PIC 58. The parallel inputs receive the 4 motor rotation bits; two converter inputs analog digital, integrated in the microcontroller, receive the two analog signals from the two potentiometers.

Le chariot 20 est supporté par des billes 35 qui coopèrent avec la surface inférieure du plateau 4 et des billes 36 qui portent contre la surface supérieure du plateau 6 de manière que ledit chariot puisse se déplacer sans contrainte dans toutes les directions. Les billes 35 et 36 sont en matière plastique isolante.The carriage 20 is supported by balls 35 which cooperate with the lower surface of the tray 4 and balls 36 which bear against the upper surface of the plate 6 so that said carriage can move without constraint in all directions. The marbles 35 and 36 are made of insulating plastic.

Le compartiment 22 supporte un aimant permanent 38 qui est maintenu légèrement écarté de la surface inférieure du plateau 4.Compartment 22 supports a permanent magnet 38 which is kept slightly away from the bottom surface of the plate 4.

Dans le compartiment 22 sont disposées, empilées, des cartes électroniques 40 reliées entre elles par des barrettes de connexion 41. Ces cartes sont alimentées par des amenées électriques en provenance d'une alimentation stabilisée.In compartment 22 are arranged, stacked, electronic cards 40 linked together by connection bars 41. These cards are powered by electrical leads from a power supply stabilized.

La surface conductrice 10 du plateau supérieur 4 est alimentée par une alimentation stabilisée maintenant une tension de 12 V, le chariot 20 supportant des frotteurs 44 qui coopèrent avec ladite surface conductrice, tandis que la tension à la surface conductrice 14 est de 0 V, les frotteurs 44 recueillent le courant d'alimentation qui irrigue l'ensemble des cartes 40 par des conducteurs correspondants, le courant étant restitué à la surface conductrice 14 par des frotteurs 45.The conductive surface 10 of the upper plate 4 is powered by a stabilized power supply now a voltage of 12 V, the carriage 20 supporting wipers 44 which cooperate with said conductive surface, while that the voltage at the conductive surface 14 is 0 V, the wipers 44 collect the supply current which irrigates all 40 cards by conductors corresponding, the current being restored to the surface conductive 14 by wipers 45.

La figure 5 montre un schéma général de principe.Figure 5 shows a general diagram of principle.

Chaque levier de commande 2 est logé dans un boítier 50 qui contient l'électronique d'émission. La commande peut être proportionnelle ou discrète.Each control lever 2 is housed in a box 50 which contains the transmission electronics. The order can be proportional or discreet.

Comme on le voit sur le schéma de la figure 5, chaque levier 3 est associé à un microcontrôleur émetteur 58 relié de préférence à une ligne BUS I 2C (fabrication Philips) ou à tout autre réseau informatique compatible PC, des microcontrôleurs gestionnaires de réseau 60 permettant de transmettre les commandes à des modems 66 des chariots 20 qui comportent des microcontrôleurs récepteurs 62, ces ensembles étant alimentés à partir d'alimentations 61.As seen in the diagram in the figure 5, each lever 3 is associated with a transmitting microcontroller 58 preferably connected to a BUS I 2C line (manufacturing Philips) or any other compatible computer network PC, microcontrollers network managers 60 allowing transmit commands to 66 modems carriages 20 which include receiving microcontrollers 62, these assemblies being supplied from power supplies 61.

Chaque microcontrôleur émetteur 58 envoie des ordres en fonction de la position du levier 3 vers le chariot 20 qui contient le récepteur. On utilise des ports parallèles de microcontrôleurs PIC 55 à architecture RISC (voir figure 4) pour la réalisation d'un petit réseau local permettant à un microcontrôleur gestionnaire de réseau 60 de communiquer avec les microcontrôleurs PIC émetteurs de messages de commandes liés à la position des leviers 3 et enfin de transmettre ces commandes à un modem 56.Each transmitting microcontroller 58 sends orders depending on the position of the lever 3 towards the carriage 20 which contains the receiver. We use parallel ports of PIC 55 microcontrollers with architecture RISC (see figure 4) for the creation of a small network room allowing a microcontroller manager to network 60 to communicate with PIC microcontrollers transmitters of command messages linked to the position levers 3 and finally transmit these commands to a modem 56.

En sortie d'un convertisseur, la tension est codée sur 4 bits.At the output of a converter, the voltage is coded on 4 bits.

Le PIC émetteur vas établir le contact avec un gestionnaire de réseau qui va lui désigner le récepteur qu'il veut atteindre et lui envoyer les commandes qu'il désire envoyer à ce récepteur.The sending PIC will establish contact with a network manager who will designate the receiver he wants to reach and send him the commands he want to send to this receiver.

On utilise (voir figure 5) une ligne BUS I 2C (fabrication Philips) ou tout autre réseau informatique compatible PC, qui permet un dialogue bidirectionnel par deux fils seulement. Il s'agit d'un BUS en mode série. Les microcontrôleurs émetteurs 58 ne possédant pas de liaison série, on fait jouer ce rôle à une ligne d'entrée et à une ligne de sortie parallèle, en se servant du timer comme horloge de transmission. On peut atteindre ainsi des vitesses de 9600 bauds. Les messages sont envoyés avec redondance ou répétition et contrôle d'erreur. Cette précaution est nécessaire vu le choix du mode d'alimentation des récepteurs, la forte probabilité de parasitage lié au système de frotteurs recueillant le courant d'alimentation, et à la rotation des petits moteurs. A BUS I 2C line is used (see Figure 5) (Philips manufacturing) or any other computer network PC compatible, which allows bidirectional dialogue by two sons only. It is a BUS in serial mode. The transmitting microcontrollers 58 having no serial link, we play this role to an input line and a parallel output line, using the timer as transmission clock. We can reach as well speeds of 9600 baud. Messages are sent with redundancy or repetition and error control. This precaution is necessary given the choice of feeding mode receptors, the high probability of interference linked to the system of wipers collecting the current power, and the rotation of small motors.

On peut ainsi raccorder différents éléments sur le BUS, il suffit de connecter chaque sortie en parallèle sur deux fils.We can thus connect different elements on the BUS, just connect each output in parallel on two sons.

Un protocole permet le partage de la communication dans de bonnes conditions.A protocol allows the sharing of communication in good conditions.

La programmation des diverses informations et de leur traitement se fait par une EEPROM.Programming of various information and their treatment is done by an EEPROM.

La tension d'alimentation pour tous les composants doit être la même. Les sorties sont à collecteur ouvert (ou à drain ouvert pour les circuits CMOS), le niveau résultant sur la ligne est alors une fonction ET de toutes les sorties connectées.Supply voltage for all components must be the same. The outputs are to collector open (or open drain for CMOS circuits), the resulting level on the line is then an AND function of all connected outputs.

Des résistances de rappel à VCC permettent aux signaux SDA (signaux de données et d'adresses) et SCL (signaux d'horloge) d'être à 1, si toutes les sorties sont à 1.VCC booster resistors allow DID signals (data and address signals) and SCL (clock signals) to be 1, if all outputs are at 1.

La lecture des signaux se fait en permanence sans risque d'interférer sur le niveau de la ligne.The signals are read continuously without risk of interfering with the level of the line.

Après avoir acquitté la demande d'émission d'un microcontrôleur émetteur 58, le gestionnaire de réseau 60 va chercher dans sa mémoire l'adresse du récepteur recherché, l'associe aux commandes de rotation des moteurs et de vitesse de rotation, et enregistre le tout.After acknowledging the transmission request a transmitting microcontroller 58, the network manager 60 will look in its memory for the address of the receiver sought, associates it with the motor rotation commands and rotational speed, and records everything.

Pendant 100% du temps, il emmagasine de telles informations envoyées par les éléments du réseau qu'il contrôle.For 100% of the time, it stores such information sent by network elements that it control.

Pendant 50% du temps, il envoie ces enregistrements aux récepteurs par l'intermédiaire d'un modem modulateur 56. Le cadencement de cette transmission série est plus rapide que celui des transmissions série du réseau. Les informations numériques sont transportées par l'alimentation sur toute la surface de table. Pour optimiser le trajet du courant, l'alimentation est surdimensionnée.For 50% of the time it sends these records to receivers via a modulator modem 56. The timing of this serial transmission is faster than serial communications on the network. Digital information is carried by food over the entire table surface. To optimize the current path, the power supply is oversized.

La modulation utilisée est soit ASK (en amplitude, si on choisit le NE5050) soit FSK (en fréquence).The modulation used is either ASK (in amplitude, if the NE5050 is chosen) or FSK (in frequency).

La figure 6 montre le schéma de la liaison entre les leviers 3 et les microcontrôleurs émetteurs 58.Figure 6 shows the connection diagram between levers 3 and transmitting microcontrollers 58.

De préférence, le chariot 20 est en aluminium et comporte, à sa surface latérale, une couche d'une mousse élastique 65 pour amortir les chocs entre les chariots.Preferably, the carriage 20 is made of aluminum and has, on its side surface, a layer of foam elastic 65 to absorb shocks between the carriages.

Au niveau de la réception, le modem 56, en position de réception, démodule le signal reçu. Les données informatiques étant fragiles, car il suffit d'un parasite pour fausser le message, le modem est capable de faire abstraction des bruits et des parasites émanant de l'alimentation. Le message numérique est ensuite analysé par le microntrôleur PIC associé. L'adresse reçue est comparée avec l'adresse propre du récepteur qui reçoit, cette adresse est unique. Le message est reçu plusieurs fois et est soumis à un contrôle d'erreur.At reception, modem 56, in receiving position, demodulates the received signal. The data being fragile because all it takes is a parasite to distort the message, the modem is able to do abstraction of noise and parasites emanating from food. The digital message is then analyzed by the associated PIC microcontroller. The received address is compared with the proper address of the receiving receiver, this address is unique. The message is received several times and is subject to error checking.

Si toutes ces vérifications sont bonnes, le microcontrôleur 55 traite les commandes, les affectant qui à des sorties de puissance commandant des relais, qui à la génération d'un signal carré simulant une commande PWM.If all of these checks are successful, the microcontroller 55 processes commands, affecting them which have power outputs controlling relays, which when generating a square signal simulating a command PWM.

Globalement, on a, en fait, deux réseaux indépendants d'émetteurs, un pour chaque équipe, possédant chacun leur gestionnaire de réseau et un modem en émission. Overall, we actually have two independent networks transmitters, one for each team, each with their network manager and a modem in transmission.

On peut prévoir une ligne spéciale bidirectionnelle entre les deux gestionnaires véhiculant à l'alternat les ordres d'arrêt d'émission pendant 50% du temps.We can provide a special bidirectional line between the two managers driving the work-study program emission stop orders for 50% of the time.

La communication est dont partagée équitablement entre les deux équipes. Au sein de chaque équipe, la gestion de la communication est indépendante.Communication is therefore shared fairly between the two teams. Within each team, management of communication is independent.

Une carte 40 contient des ponts de Darlington, ou tout autre circuit variateur de vitesse, qui permettent de gérer la vitesse des moteurs 22 et 23. Cette carte contient, de plus, les relais commandant la mise en marche des moteurs.Map 40 contains Darlington bridges, or any other variable speed circuit, which allow manage the speed of motors 22 and 23. This card contains, in addition, the relays controlling the start-up motors.

Ainsi, en agissant sur un levier 3, on commande le déplacement d'un joueur 2 dans toutes les directions, soit avance lente ou rapide, recul lent ou rapide, pivotement à droite ou à gauche. Le socle 16 étant de préférence octogonal, il permet de mieux contrôler la balle 11 et la commande en avance rapide permet de simuler le coup de pied dans la balle.Thus, by acting on a lever 3, we control the movement of a player 2 in all directions, either slow or fast forward, slow or fast backward, pivot To the right or to the left. The base 16 is preferably octagonal, it allows better control of the ball 11 and fast forward command simulates the move foot in the ball.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. We can make many modifications detail without departing from the scope of the invention.
