Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection switch capable of preventing malfunction due to a high frequency noise from a load. SOLUTION: A bead core B is arranged between the output side of a detection main circuit 11 and a control input terminal S4 of an output transistor Tr. Even when a load 13 is a load for performing a switching operation with a high frequency, any high frequency noise from the load 13 can be surely interrupted. Also, the bead core B is arranged not at the output side of an output switching circuit 12 through which large currents (collector currents) are running but at the control input terminal S4 side of the output transistor Tr whose current value is smaller than that of the collector current so that the capacity of the bead core can be made small according to the small current value. Thus, it is possible to reduce the costs, and to miniaturize the equipment.

By the way, various loads are connected to the output terminal 4, and in recent years, those which perform switching operation at a high frequency are increasing. When the load 5 that performs the switching operation at such a high frequency is connected, high-frequency noise accompanying the switching is generated and may be transmitted to the output transistor 3. Generally, noise accompanying the switching of the load 5 is cut off by a small capacitance existing between the collector and the base of the output transistor 3. However, when the switching is performed at a high frequency, the frequency spectrum of the noise also increases, and the collector-base In some cases, it may enter the base circuit through the intervening capacitance. Then, there is a problem that the operation of the output transistor 3 becomes unstable and causes a malfunction. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a detection switch that can prevent malfunction due to high frequency noise from a load.

According to the structure of the present invention, since the bead core is arranged between the control input terminal of the output switching circuit and the output side of the detection means, high frequency noise from the connected load is reliably cut off. Erroneous operation of the output can be prevented. By the way, in order to eliminate the influence of high frequency noise from the load, it is generally considered that a noise cutoff element is arranged on the output side of the output switching circuit. However, in such a configuration, it is necessary to arrange a large rated capacity in accordance with the amount of a large current (collector current) flowing to the output side of the output switching circuit. Absent. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the bead core is arranged on the control input terminal side where the amount of current is smaller than the output side of the output switching circuit, the capacity of the bead core only needs to be a capacity corresponding to the amount of current, Cost reduction and size reduction can be achieved at the same time.
