The working process of the liquid level measuring device in the embodiment is as follows:
the ultrasonic transmitting probe transmits ten ultrasonic waves with the frequency of 300kHz to the obstacle, and the wavelength can be obtained to be 1.15mm according to a frequency and wavelength formula of lambda-uT, wherein lambda is the wavelength, u is the wave velocity, and T is the period, and the frequency meets the requirement;
the timing is started by delaying a period of time to avoid the interference of the aftershock signal, the delay time is determined by the image of the transmitted signal, and the delay time is at least 33 microseconds as a group of ten pulses are transmitted each time, the timing is started from the transmission of the first pulse, and the period is 3.3 microseconds each time;
the ultrasonic ranging device transmits ultrasonic waves to a target obstacle, then converts the ultrasonic waves into a receiving mode, receives a returned signal, receives the returned signal, amplifies the signal through the amplifier and sends the amplified signal to the main controller;
the main control unit receives the signal after amplification, stop timing, handle data, obtain distance information, but when ultrasonic signal returns, along with the increase of distance, received signal width can reduce gradually, after the comparator plastic, can cause the leading edge to move backward, and the leading edge moves backward means that ultrasonic echo measurement time delay is back, when losing a signal, will cause the error of 1.1mm at most, so the main control unit of this embodiment adopts the echo compensation method to compensate echo signal, the compensation mode is:
Figure BDA0002505663900000061
where T is the period of the transmitted 300kHz ultrasonic family, T1In order to measure the pulse width of the echo, v is the propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave, S is the distance from the liquid level to be measured to the ultrasonic transducer, and t is the transit time, the method can compensate the backward moving front edge and reduce the error generated by the waveform front edge delay.
For an environment with high precision requirement, the influence of temperature on the transmission speed of the ultrasonic wave needs to be considered, and the transmission speed of the ultrasonic wave needs to be compensated for by v being 331.5+0.607C so as to reduce the error, wherein C is the actual temperature and is the unit of centigrade, and v is the actual propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave and is the unit of m/s.
The specific compensation principle is shown in fig. 6-8, the ultrasonic ranging adopts a group wave transmission mode, that is, about 10 complete waveforms are transmitted at a time and then enter an echo receiving mode, a receiving circuit part is generally provided with a comparator and an amplifier, the amplitude of an ultrasonic echo is reduced along with the increase of the distance, and an ultrasonic echo signal attenuation graph and a waveform shaped by the comparator are shown in fig. 6-7. As can be seen from the figure, as the distance increases, the width of the received pulse narrows and the leading edge moves backward, causing time measurement errors. The waveform after shaping is composed of a plurality of ultrasonic wave periods, the forward edge backward movement means that 300kHz ultrasonic waves are adopted in the design after the ultrasonic echo measurement time delay, and 1.1mm of error is caused by losing one ultrasonic wave period, so that the error of time measurement needs to be reduced by taking measures.
Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of the echo pulse width compensation method, in which the dotted line indicates the period of the transmitted ultrasonic wave and the solid line indicates the echo width. The diagram shows the phase relationship of the transmit wave and the echo front. T is1The measured echo pulse width; Δ t is the lag time; it can be seen that the method can compensate the pulse width of the echo, and the farther the distance is, the narrower the pulse width of the echo is, the more the time lag is, the larger the compensation amount is.
After echo compensation, the obtained compensated signal is measured by adopting a cross-correlation method detection method to obtain accurate transit time, and the longer the measurement distance is, the weaker the echo energy is, so that the echo compensation method provided by the application enables the obtained echo waveform to be more accurate, and further the calculated transit time is more accurate.
The cross-correlation method is one of the most basic and effective methods for measuring the transit time, and has strong noise suppression capability. The measurement principle of the cross-correlation method is that if the signal sent by the ultrasonic wave is x (t) and the received ultrasonic wave signal is y (t), the cross-correlation function M of the two signals isxy(T) may be prepared from
Figure BDA0002505663900000071
And (6) obtaining. After the cross-correlation operation is performed by the above formula, the time T corresponding to the peak point of the cross-correlation function can be obtained, so that the accurate transit time T can be obtained.
Aiming at the problem that the distance measurement distance of the device is short, a threshold value with the distance measurement distance of 2cm-10cm needs to be set before measurement, the threshold value is set to remove noise and extract useful signals, and in the embodiment, the adopted amplitude threshold value is 45 dB; in actual measurement, in order to better distinguish a valid signal from an interference signal, the amplitude of the threshold is determined by experimental debugging, so that a corresponding accurate threshold value at a specific distance is measured, and then the obtained signal is compensated.
The signal after echo compensation is processed to shape the signal into a sine signal, that is, the ultrasonic signal after compensation is optimized to obtain an ideal signal, then the signal is input y (T), the ultrasonic signal which is initially transmitted is x (T), and the cross-correlation function is obtained by a formula to obtain the transit time. Aiming at the characteristic of short measuring distance of the device, the transit time passes through MxyAnd (T) is obtained, wherein x is (T) y (T), the convolution is carried out, and then the cross-correlation signal is calculated by using a fast Fourier algorithm, so that the calculation efficiency is improved, and the measurement accuracy is also improved.
The obtained transit time is the time difference between the detection of the emitted ultrasonic wave and the reception of the echo, so that the distance between the target object and the ultrasonic emission probe is calculated.
The ultrasonic wave that this application adopted is that the frequency is 300kHz, what current ultrasonic ranging device generally adopted is that the frequency is 40 kHz's ultrasonic wave, the ultrasonic wave wavelength of this frequency is longer, can't measure the short distance, so adopt high-frequency ultrasonic wave, 40kHz ultrasonic ranging device has the not high problem of measurement accuracy moreover, so select to adopt the frequency to be 300 kHz's ultrasonic wave, because the application of new material, new technology, can make the very height of measuring accuracy by a wide margin, and the range of application is also very expanded greatly moreover.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above-mentioned embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that all equivalent modifications or changes which can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical spirit of the present invention be covered by the claims of the present invention.
