In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a voltage measurement device is provided that includes a fixed gain amplifier 10, an adjustable gain amplifier 11, a first analog-to-digital converter 20, a second analog-to-digital converter 21, and a processor 30. The maximum range measuring unit comprises a fixed gain amplifier 10 and a first analog-to-digital converter 20 which are connected. The fixed gain amplifier 10 is configured to scale the signal to be measured by a fixed multiple, and the first analog-to-digital converter 20 is configured to measure a voltage of the signal to be measured after the fixed gain amplifier 10 scales the signal to be measured and output a first measured voltage value. The adjustable range measuring unit comprises an adjustable gain amplifier 11 and a second analog-to-digital converter 21 which are connected. The adjustable gain amplifier 11 is configured to scale the signal to be measured by an adjustable multiple, and the second analog-to-digital converter 21 is configured to measure a voltage of the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier 11 is scaled, and output a second measured voltage value. The adjustable multiple corresponds to one of the measuring ranges of the adjustable range measuring unit, and each measuring range of the adjustable range measuring unit is really contained in the measuring range of the maximum range measuring unit. And the processor 30 is connected with the first analog-to-digital converter 20, the adjustable gain amplifier 11 and the second analog-to-digital converter 21, and is configured to control the adjustable gain amplifier 11 to adjust the adjustable multiple to correspond to the target range when a range selection instruction including the target range is received and the target range is one measurement range of the adjustable range measurement unit. When the adjustable gain amplifier 11 is adjusting the adjustable multiple or the scaled signal to be measured is out of the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21, the first voltage value is output.
In the voltage measuring device, the fixed gain amplifier and the first analog-to-digital converter are connected to form a maximum measuring range measuring unit, the fixed gain amplifier scales the signal to be measured by a fixed multiple, and the first analog-to-digital converter measures the voltage of the signal to be measured after the fixed gain amplifier scales and outputs a first measured voltage value. Meanwhile, the adjustable gain amplifier and the second analog-to-digital converter are connected to form an adjustable range measuring unit, the adjustable gain amplifier scales the signal to be measured by an adjustable multiple, and the second analog-to-digital converter measures the voltage of the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier scales and outputs a second measured voltage value. Because the adjustable multiple corresponds to one of the multiple measuring ranges of the adjustable range measuring unit and each measuring range of the adjustable range measuring unit is really contained in the measuring range of the maximum range measuring unit, the adjustable range measuring unit can realize the accurate measurement of the voltage in a small range, and the maximum range measuring unit can realize the rough measurement of the voltage in the maximum range. When the adjustable gain amplifier adjusts the adjustable multiple or the scaled signal to be measured is outside the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, the second voltage value measured by the adjustable range measurement unit is inaccurate, and the processor outputs the first voltage value at the moment, so that the continuity of voltage measurement can be maintained and the measurement result is accurate under the condition that the measurement of the adjustable range measurement unit is inaccurate.
Illustratively, the fixed gain amplifier 10 is an LTC6431-15 type amplifier, or an LTC6430-15 type amplifier, or an amplifying chip LM 324.
Illustratively, the adjustable Gain Amplifier 20 is a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA). Preferably, the adjustable gain amplifier 20 may be one of an MCP6S21 chip, an MCP6S22 chip, an MCP6S26 chip and an MCP6S28 chip manufactured by Microchip corporation of usa, or one of an AD8321 chip and an AD8250 chip manufactured by Analog Devices of Analog instruments corporation of usa.
Illustratively, the first analog-to-digital converter 20 and the second analog-to-digital converter 21 may be one of ADCs 0808, AD7678, AD9221, AD9223, and AD 9220.
Illustratively, the Processor 30 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), and may be one of other general purpose processors, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field-Programmable Gate arrays (FPGAs) or other Programmable logic devices, discrete Gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, and the like. The general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, processor 30 is configured to perform the following steps:
s202, a range selection command including a target range is received.
And S204, judging whether the target range is the measuring range of the maximum range measuring unit. If the target range is the measurement range of the maximum range measurement unit, executing S206; if the target measuring range is one measuring range of the adjustable measuring range measuring unit, S208 and S210 are executed.
S206, outputting the first voltage value.
S208, outputting a first voltage value within the set time length after receiving the range selection instruction.
Specifically, the set time length is longer than the longest time required by the adjustable gain amplifier 11 to adjust the adjustable multiple to correspond to the target range, that is, the processor 30 controls the adjustable gain amplifier 11 to adjust the adjustable multiple to correspond to the target range within the set time length after receiving the range selection instruction.
Specifically, the user may select the target range to be switched by interacting with the processor 30, that is, issue a range selection instruction containing the target range to the processor 30. After the processor 30 receives the range selection instruction, if the target range is one measurement range of the adjustable range measurement unit, the processor 30 controls the adjustable gain amplifier 11 to adjust the adjustable multiple to correspond to the target range, so that the signal to be measured in the target range is within the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21 after being scaled by the adjustable multiple.
Illustratively, the set time period is longer than the action time of the adjustable gain amplifier 11 for switching the gain gear. For example, the action time of the adjustable gain amplifier 11 for switching the gain stage is 3 milliseconds, and the set time period may be 5 milliseconds in order to ensure that the action of the adjustable gain amplifier 11 for switching the gain stage is completed.
In the embodiment, by setting the time of the set duration to be longer than the longest time of switching the range, it is ensured that the adjustable gain amplifier completes the range switching after the set duration.
And S210, outputting a second voltage value after the set time length after the range selection instruction is received.
In this embodiment, when the processor receives the range selection command, it first determines whether the target range is the measurement range of the maximum range measurement unit. If the target range is the range of the maximum range measurement unit, the condition of switching the range does not exist, and the first voltage value can be directly output. If the target range is one measuring range of the adjustable range measuring unit, the first voltage value is output within the set time length, so that the voltage can be still measured in the process of controlling the adjustable gain amplifier to switch the measuring range by the processor. And then the second voltage value is output after the set time length, at the moment, the adjustable gain amplifier completes the range switching action, the measurement value of the adjustable range measurement unit is accurate, and a more accurate measurement result can be obtained by outputting the second voltage value.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, processor 30 is configured to perform the following steps:
and S302, judging whether the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier is zoomed is out of the measuring range of the second analog-to-digital converter. If the signal to be measured after the scaling of the adjustable gain amplifier is outside the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, executing S304; if the signal to be measured after the scaling of the adjustable gain amplifier is within the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, S306 is executed.
Specifically, the processor 30 is configured to determine a ratio of the second voltage value in the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21; when the proportion of the second voltage value in the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21 is between the upper proportion limit and the lower proportion limit, determining that the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier 11 is scaled is in the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21; when the proportion of the second voltage value in the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21 is greater than the upper limit of the proportion or less than the lower limit of the proportion, determining that the signal to be measured after the scaling of the adjustable gain amplifier 11 is outside the measurement range selected by the second analog-to-digital converter 21.
In such a way, whether the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier is zoomed is out of the measuring range of the second analog-to-digital converter or not is judged, so that whether the adjustable gain amplifier exceeds the measuring range or not is determined, and whether the second voltage value output by the adjustable gain amplifier is reliable and accurate or not is determined.
The second voltage value is, for example, a ratio of the second voltage value to the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21, which is a difference between the second voltage value and the minimum value of the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21, divided by a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter 21.
S304, outputting the first voltage value.
And S306, outputting a second voltage value.
For example, S302, S304, and S306 may be executed in conjunction with S210, that is, after the set duration after receiving the range selection instruction, it is determined whether the signal to be measured after the scaling of the adjustable gain amplifier is outside the measurement range of the second adc, and if the signal to be measured after the scaling of the adjustable gain amplifier is within the measurement range of the second adc, the second voltage value is output.
In this embodiment, the processor first determines whether the current adjustable range measuring unit is out of range by determining whether the scaled signal to be measured is within the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, so as to determine whether the second voltage value output by the adjustable range measuring unit is accurate. If the scaled signal to be measured is outside the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, it indicates that the adjustable range measurement unit has exceeded the measurement range at this time, the output second voltage value is inaccurate, and the measurement accuracy can be ensured by using the first voltage value output by the maximum range measurement unit. If the scaled signal to be measured is within the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, it indicates that the adjustable range measurement unit does not exceed the measurement range at this time, the output second voltage value is accurate, and the measurement precision can be improved by using the second voltage value output by the adjustable range measurement unit.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the processor 30 is further configured to take the first upper scale limit as the upper scale limit and the first lower scale limit as the lower scale limit when the second voltage value is gradually increased; and when the second voltage value is gradually reduced, taking the second proportion upper limit as the proportion upper limit, taking the second proportion lower limit as the proportion lower limit, wherein the second proportion upper limit is smaller than the first proportion upper limit, and the second proportion lower limit is smaller than the first proportion lower limit.
Taking fig. 4 as an example, Vth1+ represents a first upper ratio limit, Vth0+ represents a second upper ratio limit, Vth 0-represents a first lower ratio limit, and Vth 1-represents a second lower ratio limit. As shown in fig. 4, the first upper ratio limit Vth1+ is greater than the second upper ratio limit Vth0+, and the first lower ratio limit Vth 0-is greater than the second lower ratio limit Vth 1-.
The arrows in fig. 4 represent the trend of the voltage change, and the solid line indicates the selected upper or lower proportional limit. When the second voltage value gradually increases, the first upper scale limit Vth1+ is selected as the upper scale limit as shown in the upper left diagram in fig. 4, and the first lower scale limit Vth 0-is selected as the lower scale limit as shown in the lower right diagram in fig. 4. When the second voltage value gradually decreases, as shown in the upper right diagram in fig. 4, the second upper scale limit Vth0+ is selected as the upper scale limit, and as shown in the lower left diagram in fig. 4, the second lower scale limit Vth 1-is selected as the lower scale limit.
Specifically, the second voltage value gradually increases, that is, the second voltage value at the next time is greater than the second voltage value at the previous time within the set time period. The second voltage value gradually decreases, that is, the second voltage value at the next moment is smaller than the second voltage value at the previous moment in the set time length.
Illustratively, the processor 30 includes a hysteresis comparator for changing the upper scale limit of the processor 30 to a first upper scale limit and the lower scale limit to a first lower scale limit when the voltage value is gradually increased, and changing the upper scale limit of the processor 30 to a second upper scale limit and the lower scale limit to a second lower scale limit when the voltage value is gradually decreased.
Illustratively, the first proportion upper limit, the first proportion lower limit, the second proportion upper limit and the second proportion lower limit are determined according to an actual noise value of the voltage signal to be measured.
In this embodiment, when the voltage value gradually increases, the upper proportional limit and the lower proportional limit of the processor are changed to the first upper proportional limit and the first lower proportional limit, and when the voltage value gradually decreases, the upper proportional limit and the lower proportional limit of the processor are changed to the second upper proportional limit and the second lower proportional limit, respectively. The first upper proportion limit, the first lower proportion limit, the second upper proportion limit and the second lower proportion limit are determined according to an actual noise value. Therefore, when the voltage value acquired by the analog-to-digital converter is noisy, the voltage fluctuation caused by the noise can be covered by the hysteresis width, so that the influence of the noise on the processor in judging whether the second analog-to-digital converter exceeds the measuring range is avoided, the frequent replacement and selection of the output voltage value due to the influence of the noise of the processor is avoided, and the output voltage value of the processor is more stable.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, there is provided a voltage measurement method including:
step S502, zooming a signal to be measured by a fixed multiple through a fixed gain amplifier, and measuring the zoomed signal to be measured of the fixed gain amplifier through a first analog-to-digital converter to obtain a first voltage value; the fixed gain amplifier and the first analog-to-digital converter are connected to form a maximum measuring range measuring unit.
Illustratively, the voltage measurement signal is amplified by a factor of 10 using a proportional amplifier (LM324) circuit.
Step S504, the signal to be measured is zoomed by adjustable multiple through the adjustable gain amplifier, and the zoomed signal to be measured of the adjustable gain amplifier is measured through the second analog-to-digital converter, so as to obtain a second voltage value; the adjustable gain amplifier and the second analog-to-digital converter are connected to form an adjustable range measuring unit, the adjustable multiple corresponds to one of a plurality of measuring ranges of the adjustable range measuring unit, and each measuring range of the adjustable range measuring unit is really contained in the measuring range of the maximum range measuring unit.
Step S506, when the range selection instruction including the target range is received and the target range is one measurement range of the adjustable range measurement unit, controlling the adjustable gain amplifier to adjust the adjustable multiple to correspond to the target range.
Step S508, when the adjustable gain amplifier adjusts the adjustable multiple or the scaled signal to be measured is outside the measurement range of the second adc, outputting a first voltage value.
In this embodiment, a maximum measurement range unit is formed by connecting a fixed gain amplifier and a first analog-to-digital converter, the fixed gain amplifier scales a signal to be measured by a fixed multiple, and the first analog-to-digital converter measures a voltage of the signal to be measured after the fixed gain amplifier scales and outputs a first measured voltage value. Meanwhile, the adjustable gain amplifier and the second analog-to-digital converter are connected to form an adjustable range measuring unit, the adjustable gain amplifier scales the signal to be measured by an adjustable multiple, and the second analog-to-digital converter measures the voltage of the signal to be measured after the adjustable gain amplifier scales and outputs a second measured voltage value. Because the adjustable multiple corresponds to one of the multiple measuring ranges of the adjustable range measuring unit and each measuring range of the adjustable range measuring unit is really contained in the measuring range of the maximum range measuring unit, the adjustable range measuring unit can realize the accurate measurement of the voltage in a small range, and the maximum range measuring unit can realize the rough measurement of the voltage in the maximum range. When the adjustable gain amplifier adjusts the adjustable multiple or the scaled signal to be measured is outside the measurement range of the second analog-to-digital converter, the second voltage value measured by the adjustable range measurement unit is inaccurate, and the processor outputs the first voltage value at the moment, so that the continuity of voltage measurement can be maintained and the measurement result is accurate under the condition that the measurement of the adjustable range measurement unit is inaccurate. By the method, on one hand, the voltage measuring range can be adjusted according to the voltage value so as to accurately measure the voltage signal to be measured, and on the other hand, the voltage signal to be measured can still be measured in the voltage range gear switching process, so that the interruption or missing measurement of the voltage measurement is avoided, and the stability and accuracy of the voltage measurement are improved.
