Description

A kind of measurement mechanism with capacitance measurement function
Technical field
The present invention relates to the measurement mechanism field, particularly relate to the capacitance measuring device field.
Background technology
In the prior art, the speed for the precision that improves low capacitance measurement and big capacitance measurement has adopted many kinds of measuring methods.
In Chinese patent application " method of mirror-image constant flow source measuring capacitance " (publication number is 101082644A), introduced a kind of capacitance measurement method.As shown in Figure 1, measurement mechanism 1 comprises measured capacitance 101, mirror-image constant flow source charge-discharge modules 102, voltage detection module 107, control module 108 and the clock generator 109 that is connected in series successively, comprises constant current source 103, charge-discharge circuit 104, mirror image circuit 105 and charge and discharge switch control circuit 106 in the mirror-image constant flow source charge-discharge modules 102.Two kinds of embodiments are disclosed in this patent specification.Charge and discharge switch control circuit 106 is made of gate-controlled switch K1 in these two embodiment.
A kind of embodiment is the fixing measuring method in duration of charging, and control module 108 is by the difference of the later voltage of the voltage before the charging of measuring measured capacitance 101 and charging, thereby calculates capacitance.Whole measuring process comprises between charge period, interdischarge interval.The cycle of finishing charge and discharge just can be measured the capacitance of measured capacitance 101.Wherein voltage detection module 107 is made of A/D converter.
Step 1: between charge period, control module 108 control K1 open, and open charging circuit, close discharge circuit.Control module 108 picks up counting simultaneously.
Step 2: the timer meter is time the certain time interval T, and the timer zero clearing that resets restarts timing.Control module 108 control K1 closures, the charge closing circuit is opened discharge circuit.And, read the magnitude of voltage v1 on measured capacitance this moment simultaneously by A/D converter.
Step 3: the timer meter is time the certain time interval T, and the timer zero clearing that resets restarts timing.Control module 108 control K1 open, and open charging circuit, close discharge circuit.And, read the magnitude of voltage v2 on electric capacity this moment simultaneously by A/D converter.
Thus, we can calculate the capacitance Cx of measured capacitance 101:
ΔU=|v2-v1|
C *=(charging current I1 * T)/Δ U
Repeat above-mentioned step 2, step 3, can periodically measure.
Because this method charge and discharge time is short, so be very suitable for measurement to big electric capacity.
Another kind of embodiment is the measuring method of fixed voltage difference, and control module 108 changes to the time Δ t of preset voltage value v2 by the voltage on the measured capacitance 101 from preset voltage value v1, thereby calculates measured capacitance values.Wherein voltage detection module 107 is made of voltage comparator CV1 and voltage comparator CV2.
Step 1: discharge step.Control module 108 control K1 open, and open discharge circuit, the charge closing circuit.Electric capacity begins discharge.When the voltage on the electric capacity time smaller or equal to comparative voltage v2, the upset of the output level of voltage comparator CV2;
Step 2: when the voltage on the electric capacity smaller or equal to comparative voltage v2 time the, the upset of the output level of voltage comparator CV2, control module 108 detects the variation of CV2 output level, and control module 108 control K1 closures are opened charging circuit, close discharge circuit.Electric capacity begins charging.Simultaneously, control module 108 picks up counting.
Step 3: when the voltage on the electric capacity time more than or equal to comparative voltage v1, the upset of the output level of voltage comparator CV1; Control module 108 detects the output level upset of voltage comparator CV1, stops timing, notes timing time Δ t; Control module control K1 opens, and opens discharge circuit, the charge closing circuit.Electric capacity begins discharge.
Step 4: repeating step two, three.
The output waveform of voltage comparator CV1 and voltage comparator CV2 is sent in the control module 108, the frequency f of the waveform signal of control module 108 measuring voltage comparator C V1 output, because charging current equals discharge current, thus the duration of charging equal discharge time, so: Δ t=1/f/2.
Thus, we can calculate the capacitance Cx of measured capacitance 101:
ΔU=v1-v2
Δt=1/f/2
C *=(charging current I1 * T)/Δ U
The measuring method of the measuring method of described set time of prior art and fixed voltage difference all can not adapt to the measurement of big capacitance measurement and little electric capacity automatically.
Such as, under the measuring method of described set time, when charging current one regularly, the long duration of charging is set, the accurate measurement of the big electric capacity that can realize, but the same duration of charging just can't satisfy the measurement needs of little electric capacity.Its reason is that under same charging current, the duration of charging that measured capacitance needs is very short.Duration of charging is long, tends to make that the voltage at measured capacitance two ends exceeds the A/D converter input voltage range, makes capacitance measurement inaccurate.
Again such as, under the measuring method of described fixed voltage difference, when measuring little electric capacity, in order to obtain higher measuring accuracy, often set a less charging current, but less charging current, can make the measuring period of big capacitance measurement elongated, even exceed the limit that the user waits for.Its reason is, under same charging current, needs the longer duration of charging, can make the voltage at big electric capacity two ends reach setting voltage value.
