Abstract
A safety control system (200a, 200b, 200c, 200d, 200e) for portable weapons, including, but not limited to, crossbows and firearms, such as guns, rifles and alike, uses various sensors to ensure safe target, environment, location, and situation for operating portable weapons. The safety control system (200a, 200b, 200c, 200d, 200e) unlocks a firing sequence of the portable weapons only when it is safe to operate.
Claims11
A safety control system for a portable weapon, comprising:
- a microcontroller for controlling a driver to drive an actuator for actuating a lock mechanism;
- and
- a vital sign detection sensor being in communication with said microcontroller and to detect a human in a direction to which said portable weapon is pointing;
- wherein said microcontroller determines to control said driver to drive said actuator to actuate said lock mechanism to lock a firing sequence of said portable weapon based on a detection signal from said vital sign detection sensor;
- wherein said vital detection sensor is a body temperature sensor comprising:
- a pyroelectric infrared sensor;
- a Fresnel lens having a first side with a smooth surface and a second side with patterns, said second side facing with said pyroelectric infrared sensor;
- and
- a cylindrical housing member for housing said pyroelectric infrared sensor at one end, and said lens disposed at a focal distance of said lens away from said pyroelectric infrared sensor.
