Description

一种用于稀薄或小颗粒烟雾探测的方法A method for thin or small particle smoke detection

技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及光电式颗粒或烟雾检测技术领域,具体为一种用于稀薄或小颗粒烟雾探测的方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric particle or smoke detection, specifically a method for thin or small particle smoke detection.

背景技术Background technique

烟雾探测器,特别是光电式烟雾探测器是日常光电式烟雾探测器是目前市场上的烟雾探测器的主流产品,主要用于建筑物、办公室等公共场合以及家庭的火灾检测,通过光学散射的原理检测是否有烟雾存在并在超过一定阈值时发出报警信号。通常光电式烟雾探测器内部具有一个或多个光电发射和接收器件,外壳及对应的机构件构成了一个叫做迷宫的光学暗室,基本的检测原理是根据烟雾颗粒散射的光强来判断烟雾的浓度并与报警阈值做对比。Smoke detectors, especially photoelectric smoke detectors, are commonplace. Photoelectric smoke detectors are the mainstream smoke detector products currently on the market. They are mainly used for fire detection in buildings, offices and other public places as well as homes. They use optical scattering to The principle detects the presence of smoke and sends an alarm signal when it exceeds a certain threshold. Usually, a photoelectric smoke detector has one or more photoelectric transmitting and receiving devices inside. The outer casing and corresponding mechanical components form an optical darkroom called a labyrinth. The basic detection principle is to judge the concentration of smoke based on the light intensity scattered by smoke particles. And compare it with the alarm threshold.

但是,在一些比较特殊的场景下,如:新能源的电化学电池的热失控监控,早期的电池热失控过程所释放出来的烟雾比较稀薄,可能伴随的细小的颗粒物质,传统的烟雾探测器可能无能为力。再如开关柜以及充电桩的电气柜火灾早期也会因为导线过热等原因释放出一些小颗粒物质,这些颗粒的粒径一般小于100nm甚至10nm,这些均不容易被传统的烟雾探测器所捕获。传统的烟雾探测器是基于米氏散射的检测原理,针对的是100nm~1um粒径范围的烟雾颗粒,因此要实现对更加细小颗粒的检测需要调高灵敏度,但与之而来的是会发生频繁的误报问题,传统的烟雾探测器难以兼顾高灵敏度和低误报问题。上述两种火灾过程一般不可逆,需要尽早地预警,避免更大的损失。However, in some special scenarios, such as: thermal runaway monitoring of new energy electrochemical batteries, the smoke released by the early battery thermal runaway process is relatively thin and may be accompanied by fine particulate matter. Traditional smoke detectors There may not be much that can be done. For example, in the early stages of fires in switch cabinets and electrical cabinets of charging piles, some small particles will be released due to overheating of wires and other reasons. The size of these particles is generally less than 100nm or even 10nm, and these are not easily captured by traditional smoke detectors. Traditional smoke detectors are based on the detection principle of Mie scattering and are aimed at smoke particles in the particle size range of 100nm to 1um. Therefore, in order to detect finer particles, the sensitivity needs to be increased, but with this comes the Frequent false alarms are a problem, and it is difficult for traditional smoke detectors to balance high sensitivity and low false alarms. The above two fire processes are generally irreversible, and early warning is required to avoid greater losses.

也有专门针对粒子进行检测的烟雾传感器,如现有技术中,申请号为CN202121804266.3的专利公开了一种双波长气溶胶粒子散射光传感结构,采用了双个不同波长的激光发射器,一个光接收器构成“个”字型的迷宫结构。当没有烟雾进入到探测器迷宫时由于迷宫机构间本身反射所造成的光污染信号被叫做本底,这个本底信号越小越好,尤其是本发明这种对本底信号敏感的应用场景。激光器的光强高且集中,但是扫查面积更小,为了降低或消除光学反射需要大的体积以及较复杂的机械设计。即便设计人员为了降低内部本底信号光污染,牺牲掉一些其他方面的功能,比如可能会占用更大的体积,将内部本底信号光污染消除。传统的电流检测电路如跨导放大器如果要检测小电流需要较大的跨导电阻以及低噪声的运算放大器,运算放大器本身的噪声、输出偏置以及跨导电阻的热噪声是主要的噪声和测量误差来源,如果输入信号微弱到低于整个输入电路的噪声底限时,传统的跨导放大器将很难检测到信号。因此,即便不考虑成本,一味地使用性能更好的运放对减少系统噪声的贡献也是有限度的。基于传统方法设计的烟雾探测设备,在系统设计上很难在功耗、成本以及高灵敏度低误报性能上同时得到权衡。There are also smoke sensors that specifically detect particles. For example, in the existing technology, the patent application number CN202121804266.3 discloses a dual-wavelength aerosol particle scattered light sensing structure, which uses two laser emitters of different wavelengths. A light receiver forms a labyrinth structure in the shape of "a". When there is no smoke entering the detector maze, the light pollution signal caused by the reflection between the maze mechanisms is called the background. The smaller the background signal, the better, especially in the application scenario of the present invention that is sensitive to the background signal. The light intensity of the laser is high and concentrated, but the scanning area is smaller. In order to reduce or eliminate optical reflection, a large volume and a more complex mechanical design are required. Even if the designer sacrifices some other functions in order to reduce the internal background signal light pollution, for example, it may occupy a larger volume to eliminate the internal background signal light pollution. Traditional current detection circuits such as transconductance amplifiers require larger transconductance resistors and low-noise operational amplifiers to detect small currents. The noise of the operational amplifier itself, output bias, and thermal noise of the transconductance resistor are the main noise and measurement sources. The source of error is that if the input signal is so weak that it falls below the noise floor of the entire input circuit, it will be difficult for a traditional transimpedance amplifier to detect the signal. Therefore, even if cost is not considered, the contribution of blindly using better-performing op amps to reducing system noise is limited. For smoke detection equipment designed based on traditional methods, it is difficult to balance power consumption, cost, and high sensitivity and low false alarm performance at the same time in system design.

本申请提供的一种用于稀薄或小颗粒烟雾探测的方法,其针对火灾引起的稀薄或小颗粒烟雾的情况,发光管使用低驱动电流发光,将稀薄或小颗粒烟雾对光线散射引起的较弱光电流累积到接收管自身的结电容上,检测过程中将接收管与接收电路断开,不连接运算放大器,累积时间到达后,再通过信号采集电路对接收管上累积的电荷进行测量,实现了基于采用电荷累积方式对稀薄或小颗粒烟雾引起的弱电流的检测。本方法使用低驱动电流,在同样的光学设计下将几乎没有内部光污染问题,因为使用的发射管功率很小,光功率几乎全部被内部的反射和吸收掉,即使有灰尘积累或者及构件老化问题也没有影响。同时,由于在电荷累积过程中开关SW1处于断开状态,接收管不与后端电路连接,因此对信号采集电路的精密度要求不高,甚至在此期间可以直接关断电源。因此,本方法具有低成本、低功耗以及高鲁棒性的优点。本申请根据待检测环境的情况指定小量程微弱信号检测时间阈值TON以及信号电流的报警阈值,一旦测量时间达到TON,则对接收管上累积的电荷进行测量,当接收管上的信号电流大于报警阈值时,则进行小颗粒报警,不但能够检测常规火灾烟雾而且能检测早期火灾的稀薄或者小颗粒烟雾,提高了检测的精度和鲁棒性。同时,本方法中为了将全部的光电流都能累积在接收管自身的结电容上,防止漏电流,在信号采集电路和接收管之间设置低漏电流的开关SW1,接收管PD的漏电流只取决于接收管接入后端电路的模拟开关SW1,而与其他器件无关,这种设计可以降低后端整个系统的设计复杂性,有效地控制了烟雾探测设备的整体面积,而且降低了系统的设计成本。This application provides a method for detecting thin or small particle smoke. In view of the situation of thin or small particle smoke caused by fire, the luminous tube uses low driving current to emit light, and the thin or small particle smoke causes the larger scattering of light. The weak photocurrent accumulates on the junction capacitance of the receiving tube itself. During the detection process, the receiving tube is disconnected from the receiving circuit and the operational amplifier is not connected. After the accumulation time is reached, the accumulated charge on the receiving tube is measured through the signal acquisition circuit. The detection of weak current caused by thin or small particle smoke based on the charge accumulation method is realized. This method uses low driving current, and under the same optical design, there will be almost no internal light pollution problems, because the power of the emitting tube used is very small, and almost all the optical power is internally reflected and absorbed, even if there are dust accumulation or component aging problems It has no effect either. At the same time, since the switch SW1 is in the off state during the charge accumulation process, the receiving tube is not connected to the back-end circuit, so the precision of the signal acquisition circuit is not high, and the power supply can even be turned off directly during this period. Therefore, this method has the advantages of low cost, low power consumption and high robustness. This application specifies the small-range weak signal detection time threshold T ON and the alarm threshold of the signal current according to the conditions of the environment to be detected. Once the measurement time reaches T ON , the charge accumulated on the receiving tube is measured. When the signal current on the receiving tube When it is greater than the alarm threshold, a small particle alarm is performed, which can not only detect conventional fire smoke but also detect thin or small particle smoke in early fires, improving the detection accuracy and robustness. At the same time, in this method, in order to accumulate all the photocurrent on the junction capacitance of the receiving tube itself and prevent leakage current, a low leakage current switch SW1 is set between the signal acquisition circuit and the receiving tube. The leakage current of the receiving tube PD It only depends on the analog switch SW1 of the receiving tube connected to the back-end circuit, and has nothing to do with other devices. This design can reduce the design complexity of the entire back-end system, effectively control the overall area of the smoke detection equipment, and reduce the system cost. design costs.

Therefore, there is no need to change the original detection mode and alarm threshold settings. Based on charge accumulation, The low-light detection method not only provides more product function options, but also improves the detection ability of thin or small particle smoke and reduces the false alarm rate.

本申请中的发光管和接收管基于现有技术中的二极管实现,如:基于欧司朗发光管SFH4069实现本方法中的发光管。具体应用时,通过二极管的规格书获取器对应驱动电流的光功率或光强Ee。如:在规格书中记载的标称电流为70mA,对应的测试脉冲时间脉冲时间为20mS;如果要减少光强:一个办法是降低驱动电流IF;另一个办法是降低驱动脉冲时间tp。发光管低于标称电流时电流越低其光功率转换效率越高,即单位驱动电流所产生的光功率越高。则,SFH4069的驱动电流可以低至1mA,而且电流下的电光转换效率较高,当然电源效率越高。The light-emitting tube and receiving tube in this application are implemented based on diodes in the prior art. For example, the light-emitting tube in this method is implemented based on OSRAM light-emitting tube SFH4069. In specific applications, the optical power or light intensity Ee corresponding to the driving current is obtained from the diode specification sheet. For example: the nominal current recorded in the specification book is 70mA, and the corresponding test pulse time is 20mS; if you want to reduce the light intensity: one way is to reduce the driving current I F ; the other way is to reduce the driving pulse time t p . When the light-emitting tube is lower than the nominal current, the lower the current, the higher the optical power conversion efficiency, that is, the higher the optical power generated per unit drive current. Then, the driving current of SFH4069 can be as low as 1mA, and the electro-optical conversion efficiency under current is higher. Of course, the higher the power efficiency.

S2:接收管的阴极连接参考电压VREF1,在接收管与信号采集电路之间设置一个低漏电流的开关SW1;信号采集电路的参考电压为VREF2。具体应用时,VREF1和VREF2可以取值相同。S2: The cathode of the receiving tube is connected to the reference voltage VREF1, and a low leakage current switch SW1 is set between the receiving tube and the signal acquisition circuit; the reference voltage of the signal acquisition circuit is VREF2. In specific applications, VREF1 and VREF2 can have the same value.

如图2所示,为本方法中使用的电路拓扑示意图的实施例。其包括:发光管1、接收管2。反光管2发出的光线遇到烟雾3的颗粒散射光照射到接收管2上产生光电流。上述电子元件被一个叫做迷宫4的机构件覆盖,迷宫4提供了一个稳定的光学检测环境。As shown in Figure 2, it is an embodiment of a schematic diagram of the circuit topology used in this method. It includes: luminous tube 1 and receiving tube 2. The light emitted by the reflective tube 2 encounters the scattered light of the particles of the smoke 3 and irradiates the receiving tube 2 to generate a photocurrent. The above electronic components are covered by a mechanical component called Maze 4, which provides a stable optical detection environment.

信号采集电路的实施例包括:运算放大器5、运算放大器6、开关SW2、SW3,电阻Rin和Rf;The embodiment of the signal acquisition circuit includes: operational amplifier 5, operational amplifier 6, switches SW2, SW3, resistors Rin and Rf;

接收管2的阴极连接参考电源VREF1,阳极连接开关SW1的一端,开关SW1的另一端连接放大器5输入同向端和开关SW3的一端,运算放大器5的反向输入端连接开关SW2的一端和运算放大器5的输出端,开关SW2的另一端连接电阻Rin的一端,电阻Rin的另一端连接开关SW3的另一端、跨导电阻Rf的一端以及运算放大器6的反向输入端,运算放大器6的正向输入端连接参考电源VREF2,运算放大器6的输出端连接跨导电阻Rf的另一端后连接模数转换器ADC的输入。为方便描述,上述电路使用了极简的电路结构,如光电管的信号处理电路使用了单端的方式,差分的方式同样适用。The cathode of the receiving tube 2 is connected to the reference power supply VREF1, the anode is connected to one end of the switch SW1, the other end of the switch SW1 is connected to the non-inverting end of the input of the amplifier 5 and one end of the switch SW3, and the inverting input end of the operational amplifier 5 is connected to one end of the switch SW2 and the operational The output terminal of the amplifier 5, the other terminal of the switch SW2 is connected to one terminal of the resistor Rin, the other terminal of the resistor Rin is connected to the other terminal of the switch SW3, one terminal of the transconductance resistor Rf and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 6, and the positive terminal of the operational amplifier 6. The reference power VREF2 is connected to the input terminal, and the output terminal of the operational amplifier 6 is connected to the other terminal of the transconductance resistor Rf and then connected to the input of the analog-to-digital converter ADC. For the convenience of description, the above circuit uses a minimalist circuit structure. For example, the signal processing circuit of the photoelectric tube uses a single-ended method, and the differential method is also applicable.

其中,低漏电流的开关SW1基于现有技术中的低漏电流开关实现,如果大于5V供电范围可以考虑ADI的ADG1221(参考规格书Ver.B),具有2pA的关断漏电流以及0.5pC的等效注入电荷,非常适合于精密设计;如果小于5V供电可以考虑ADI的ADG701L(参考规格书Ver.A),具有10pA的关断漏电流以及5pC的等效注入电荷。集成的芯片指标亦是如此考虑。Among them, the low leakage current switch SW1 is based on the low leakage current switch in the existing technology. If the power supply range is greater than 5V, you can consider ADI's ADG1221 (refer to the specification book Ver.B), which has a turn-off leakage current of 2pA and a 0.5pC The equivalent injected charge is very suitable for precision design; if the power supply is less than 5V, you can consider ADI's ADG701L (refer to the specification Ver.A), which has a turn-off leakage current of 10pA and an equivalent injected charge of 5pC. Integrated chip indicators are also considered in this way.

本申请中使用低驱动电流驱动发光管,在同样的光学设计下将几乎没有内部光污染问题,由于低驱动电流下的发射管功率很小,而且光电式烟雾探测器的迷宫设计本身具备一定的吸光能力,因此绝大部分光发射会被内部光学机构吸收掉,即使有灰尘积累或者及构件老化问题也没有影响。因此,这种设计具有低成本、低功耗以及高鲁棒性的优点。In this application, low driving current is used to drive the luminous tube. Under the same optical design, there will be almost no internal light pollution problem. Since the power of the emitting tube under low driving current is very small, and the labyrinth design of the photoelectric smoke detector itself has certain light absorption. ability, so most of the light emission will be absorbed by the internal optical mechanism, even if there is dust accumulation or component aging problems, it will not be affected. Therefore, this design has the advantages of low cost, low power consumption and high robustness.

图2仅仅是一种极简的电路实现方式,用于描述电路的处理方式。图2中开关SW1右侧的信号采集电路有两个功能。Figure 2 is just a minimalist circuit implementation used to describe the processing method of the circuit. The signal acquisition circuit on the right side of switch SW1 in Figure 2 has two functions.

一是在累积电荷结束后闭合开关SW1采集时检测光电管2上的电压,满足小量程微弱信号检测的需求。One is to detect the voltage on the photoelectric tube 2 when the switch SW1 is closed after the accumulated charge is completed to collect, to meet the needs of weak signal detection in a small range.

具体电路配置为当SW1闭合时,SW2闭合,SW3断开,此时运算放大器5工作于电压跟随模式,运算放大器6工作于反向放大模式,放大倍数等于-Rf/Rin,运算放大器5与运算放大器6级联使用。该电路采集接收管2的电压,此时接收管2的电压是基于参考VREF1的电压。The specific circuit configuration is when SW1 is closed, SW2 is closed, and SW3 is open. At this time, the operational amplifier 5 works in the voltage following mode, and the operational amplifier 6 works in the reverse amplification mode. The amplification factor is equal to -Rf/Rin. The operational amplifier 5 and the operational amplifier Amplifiers 6 are used in cascade. This circuit collects the voltage of the receiving tube 2. At this time, the voltage of the receiving tube 2 is based on the voltage of the reference VREF1.

二是当检测信号比较大且超过累积电荷的上限时,切换至大量程的常规的跨导放大器模式。The second is to switch to a large-range conventional transconductance amplifier mode when the detection signal is relatively large and exceeds the upper limit of accumulated charge.

具体电路配置为开关SW1闭合、SW3闭合且开关SW2断开,这样整个运算放大器5的部分被旁路掉。接收管2的输出通过开关SW1和SW3进入运算放大器6的反向输入,此时运算放大器6工作于跨导放大模式将采集的电流信号转换为电压信号。当切换至大量程常规模式时,发射管的光强也随之提高至常规驱动电流,以SFH4069为例,其发光管驱动电流可以是典型的70mA,此时整个烟雾探测器迷宫即使存在一定的本底信号也能够容忍。运算放大器6的输出接入到后端的模数转换器ADC,由于不属于本发明的内容,在此不再赘述。The specific circuit configuration is that switch SW1 is closed, SW3 is closed, and switch SW2 is open, so that the entire operational amplifier 5 is bypassed. The output of the receiving tube 2 enters the reverse input of the operational amplifier 6 through the switches SW1 and SW3. At this time, the operational amplifier 6 works in the transconductance amplification mode to convert the collected current signal into a voltage signal. When switching to the large-range conventional mode, the light intensity of the emission tube is also increased to the conventional driving current. Taking SFH4069 as an example, the luminous tube driving current can be a typical 70mA. At this time, even if there is a certain Background signals are also tolerated. The output of the operational amplifier 6 is connected to the back-end analog-to-digital converter ADC. Since it does not belong to the content of the present invention, it will not be described again here.

当开关SW1断开时,接收管2接收光产生的光电流IPD在时间TACC时间段内累积于光电管2自身的结电容CPD上产生电荷为QPDWhen the switch SW1 is turned off, the photocurrent I PD generated by the receiving tube 2 receiving light accumulates on the junction capacitance C PD of the photoelectric tube 2 itself during the time period T ACC to generate a charge Q PD .

通常,电容C上累积的电荷数Q可以由两种方法计算,一种是根据公式Q=CV,C为电容的容值,V是电容的电压;另一种是根据公式Q=IT,I为电容的充电电流,T为充电时间,这是假设电流为恒定电流的情况,如果不是均流则总电荷数为电流对时间的积分t为时间,I为电流,T为时间。Usually, the number of charges Q accumulated on the capacitor C can be calculated by two methods. One is according to the formula Q = CV, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, V is the voltage of the capacitor; the other is according to the formula Q = IT, I is the charging current of the capacitor, and T is the charging time. This is assuming that the current is a constant current. If it is not a current equalizer, the total charge is the integral of the current over time. t is time, I is current, and T is time.

如果充电时间很短则可以简单认为电流为均流,公式可以简化为Q=CV=IT,当C为已知量,V是可检测量、T已知的主动控制量时,电流I可以被求解出来:I=CV/T。If the charging time is very short, the current can be simply considered as current sharing, and the formula can be simplified as Q=CV=IT. When C is a known quantity, V is a detectable quantity, and T is a known active control quantity, the current I can be Solve it out: I=CV/T.

所以,本方法中小量程围绕信号检测状态下,接收管上累积的电荷QPD的表达方式包括:Therefore, in this method, under the small-range surrounding signal detection state, the expression of the charge Q PD accumulated on the receiving tube includes:

QPD=CPD×VPD=CPD×(VON-VOFF);Q PD =C PD ×V PD =C PD ×(V ON -V OFF );

或者QPD=IPD×TACCOr Q PD =I PD ×T ACC ;

或者 or

其中,VPD为接收管等效电容CPD上的电压,CPD为接收管的结电容;IPD为接收管PD在接收光照射下产生的光电流;TACC为光电流IPD的累积时间,TACC工作于光电接收管的线性区间,当TACC足够短,一般为uS级别,QPD可以使用线性公式计算。Among them, V PD is the voltage on the equivalent capacitance C PD of the receiving tube, C PD is the junction capacitance of the receiving tube; I PD is the photocurrent generated by the receiving tube PD under the irradiation of receiving light; T ACC is the accumulation of photocurrent I PD Time, T ACC works in the linear range of the photoelectric receiving tube. When T ACC is short enough, usually at the uS level, Q PD can be calculated using a linear formula.

为简单起见,假设极短时间内的电流IPD是恒定的,因此可以计算出接收管PD电流IPD=(CPD×VPD)/TACC。其中,CPD是已知量,可以从光电管的规格书或者通过常规测量方法获得;VPD是基于VERF1的电压,为测量值。TACC为测量过程中处理器或者电路控制的已知量。For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the current I PD in a very short period of time is constant, so the receiving tube PD current I PD = (C PD ×V PD )/T ACC can be calculated. Among them, C PD is a known quantity, which can be obtained from the photoelectric tube specification sheet or through conventional measurement methods; V PD is the voltage based on VERF1, which is the measured value. T ACC is a known quantity controlled by the processor or circuit during the measurement process.

采集接收管电压的方式有很多种,如运放的正相输入、反相输入以及积分器模式都可以采集电压,前提是采集过程中以保持采集通路的高输入阻抗以及低泄放电流,因此运放的正向输入和积分器模式以及其他类似的模式都是比较适合的。运放的正向输入模式的输入阻抗跟运放的指标相关;积分器模式类似于电荷搬移器,只在限定的时间内闭合开关SW1进行积分即可,本发明的重点不在采集电路,因此只用运算放大器5实现一种最简单的电压跟随器采集电压,后面的运算放大器6实现信号放大任务。另外,将接收管2与采集电路之间设置模拟开关SW1的方法有助于隔离采集电路的影响,即只有开关SW1闭合的时间段进行数据采集,降低对采集电路的设计要求,有助于降低成本。There are many ways to collect the voltage of the receiving tube. For example, the positive input of the op amp, the inverting input, and the integrator mode can all collect the voltage. The premise is that the high input impedance and low leakage current of the collection path are maintained during the collection process. Therefore, The forward input and integrator modes of the op amp and other similar modes are more suitable. The input impedance of the forward input mode of the op amp is related to the index of the op amp; the integrator mode is similar to the charge mover, and only closes the switch SW1 within a limited time to integrate. The focus of the present invention is not on the acquisition circuit, so it only The operational amplifier 5 is used to implement the simplest voltage follower to collect voltage, and the subsequent operational amplifier 6 implements the signal amplification task. In addition, the method of setting the analog switch SW1 between the receiving tube 2 and the acquisition circuit helps to isolate the influence of the acquisition circuit, that is, data acquisition is only performed during the period when the switch SW1 is closed, which reduces the design requirements for the acquisition circuit and helps reduce the cost of the acquisition circuit. cost.

接收管PD上累积电荷的数量QPD与接收管的结电容CPD有关,也与累积时间TACC有关,因此,事先测定接收管的线性工作区以及可用的累积时间非常关键,因为结电容的大小是有限的,仅为pF级别,累积时间过长会导致电荷溢出。以欧司朗接收管SFH2200的规格书(Version 1.2)为例,其在没有反偏电压且无光照情况下的结电容为60pF。图3中的X轴是接收管累积时间T,纵轴是接收管结电容上的电压V。关QPD和累积时间的关系,以及接收管的电荷累积时间TACC的测量方法如下所示:The amount of accumulated charge Q PD on the receiving tube PD is related to the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube and also to the accumulation time T ACC . Therefore, it is very critical to determine the linear working area of the receiving tube and the available accumulation time in advance, because the junction capacitance The size is limited, only at the pF level, and excessive accumulation time will cause charge overflow. Taking the specification sheet (Version 1.2) of the Osram receiver tube SFH2200 as an example, its junction capacitance is 60pF when there is no reverse bias voltage and no light. The X-axis in Figure 3 is the accumulation time T of the receiving tube, and the vertical axis is the voltage V on the junction capacitance of the receiving tube. The relationship between Q PD and accumulation time, as well as the measurement method of the charge accumulation time T ACC of the receiving tube is as follows:

因为CPD的典型值可以由接收管的器件规格书获得,因此QPD和累积时间呈现正比例关系,假设系数为k。t1和t2如附图3所示的累积时间,t2>t1,因此当CPD恒定时,累积电量QPD和电压VPD为线性关系。Because the typical value of C PD can be obtained from the device specification of the receiving tube, there is a direct proportional relationship between Q PD and accumulation time, assuming the coefficient is k. t1 and t2 are the accumulation times shown in Figure 3, t2>t1, so when C PD is constant, the accumulated power Q PD and the voltage V PD have a linear relationship.

因为累积电荷的另一个计算公式为QPD=IPD×TACC,VPD=IPD×TACC/CPD,CPD为常数,当累积时间TACC时间很短时,IPD为常数,因此VPD与TACC呈线性关系。通过调整累积时间t1和t2并采集不同累积时间对应的电压V1和V2,默认t2>t1且t2=k×t1,k为大于1的系数。Because another calculation formula for accumulated charge is Q PD =I PD ×T ACC , V PD =I PD ×T ACC /C PD , C PD is a constant, and when the accumulation time T ACC is very short, I PD is a constant, Therefore, V PD has a linear relationship with T ACC . By adjusting the accumulation time t1 and t2 and collecting the voltages V1 and V2 corresponding to different accumulation times, the default is t2>t1 and t2=k×t1, k is a coefficient greater than 1.

t1取接近于0的时间长度,测量同样条件下经累积电荷所产生的电压V2和V1是否满足系数关系k,如果不是,则降低t2的值直到获得可用的累积时间。考虑到接收管PD的结电容CPD的大小受温度的影响,因此可用的累积时间的最大值取值为t2测量的最大值的80%。比如,假设初始t1=10uS,t2=200uS,k=20,t2=k×t1。那么对应采集到的电压v1和v2也应满足v2=k×v1的关系。如果不是则调小t2和k的取值,直到获得可用的累积时间。t1 takes a time length close to 0, and measures whether the voltages V2 and V1 generated by accumulated charges under the same conditions satisfy the coefficient relationship k. If not, reduce the value of t2 until a usable accumulation time is obtained. Considering that the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube PD is affected by temperature, the maximum value of the available accumulation time is 80% of the maximum value measured by t2. For example, assume that the initial t1=10uS, t2=200uS, k=20, t2=k×t1. Then the corresponding collected voltages v1 and v2 should also satisfy the relationship of v2=k×v1. If not, reduce the values of t2 and k until the available cumulative time is obtained.

S3:根据待检测环境,指定接收管检测小颗粒和稀薄烟雾时使用的小量程微弱信号检测时间阈值TON和报警阈值,指定接收管暗电流检测时间TOFFS3: According to the environment to be detected, specify the small-range weak signal detection time threshold T ON and alarm threshold used when the receiving tube detects small particles and thin smoke, and specify the dark current detection time T OFF of the receiving tube.

接收管电流IPD的读数与烟雾的颗粒散射强度即减光率直接相关,烟雾探测器的报警阈值设置也与减光率相关,只需要按照法规测试标定不同类型烟雾的报警点阈值并总结产品所用放入阈值即可。本发明所采用的电荷累计方法测量稀薄或者小颗粒的探测方法所使用的减光率远低于常规烟雾报警器所使用的减光率阈值,用于检测新能源电池包锂电池热失控早期的稀薄烟雾或者电解液挥发,也可以用于开关柜以及充电桩的早期火灾。这是一种高灵敏度的检测手段,与现有的大量程信号的常规检测不冲突,所以两种测试模式可以结合使用。本方法中通过预先指定小量程微弱信号检测时间阈值TON,确保在TON时间段内微电流产生的信号电流IPD大于预设的报警阈值就判断为存在稀薄或者小颗粒烟雾,尽管这个阈值可能低于法规的标准烟雾阈值,确保可以及时地探测到早期火灾。同时有效地解决了传统的大量程检测的尴尬问题,即提高灵敏度降低误报会导致漏报问题,而降低灵敏度又会引起频繁的误报,而且对于稀薄气体没反应的问题。The reading of the receiving tube current I PD is directly related to the particle scattering intensity of the smoke, that is, the dimming rate. The alarm threshold setting of the smoke detector is also related to the dimming rate. It is only necessary to test and calibrate the alarm point thresholds of different types of smoke in accordance with regulations and summarize the product. Just put the threshold value. The charge accumulation method used in the present invention detects thin or small particles and uses a dimming rate that is far lower than the dimming rate threshold used by conventional smoke alarms, and is used to detect early thermal runaway of lithium batteries in new energy battery packs. Thin smoke or electrolyte volatilization can also be used to cause early fires in switch cabinets and charging piles. This is a highly sensitive detection method that does not conflict with the existing conventional detection of large-range signals, so the two test modes can be used in combination. In this method, by pre-specifying the small-scale weak signal detection time threshold T ON , it is ensured that the signal current I PD generated by the microcurrent during the T ON time period is greater than the preset alarm threshold, and it is judged that there is thin or small particle smoke. Although this threshold May be below regulatory standard smoke thresholds, ensuring timely detection of early stage fires. At the same time, it effectively solves the embarrassing problems of traditional large-range detection, that is, increasing the sensitivity and reducing false alarms will lead to false alarms, while lowering the sensitivity will cause frequent false alarms, and there is no response to thin gases.

结合图1所示的驱动时序图解释本申请的主要思路和过程,图1所示的时序图包括上下五行,图例依次为SW1开关(高为开关闭合)、发射管驱动(高为打开,发光管发光)、接收管电荷(QPD)、数据采集(高位模数转换)以及时间轴信息。上下的短虚线用于对其各个时刻的事件。整个过程分为两个大周期T1和T2,采样周期T1是暗电流的累积和采样周期,采样周期T2是信号电流的累积和采样周期。The main ideas and processes of this application are explained in conjunction with the driving timing diagram shown in Figure 1. The timing diagram shown in Figure 1 includes five lines above and below. The legend is in sequence SW1 switch (high means the switch is closed), emitter drive (high means open, emitting light). tube light emission), receiving tube charge (Q PD ), data acquisition (high-bit analog-to-digital conversion) and time axis information. The short dashed lines above and below are used for events at various times. The whole process is divided into two large periods T1 and T2. The sampling period T1 is the accumulation and sampling period of the dark current, and the sampling period T2 is the accumulation and sampling period of the signal current.

S4:将开关SW1闭合,对信号采集电路和接收管进行复位操作,复位结束后开关SW1断开;S4: Close the switch SW1, reset the signal acquisition circuit and the receiving tube, and open the switch SW1 after the reset is completed;

复位操作包括信号采集电路和接收管的复位:信号采集电路的复位即为电路的正常复位,恢复到初始状态;接收管的复位指的是消除接收管两端的电荷,简单的做法是将接收管的输出通过开关SW1之后接至VREF1。具体为通过另一个开关(图中未画出)接至VREF1或者配置VREF2等于VREF1。The reset operation includes the reset of the signal acquisition circuit and the receiving tube: the reset of the signal acquisition circuit is the normal reset of the circuit, returning to the initial state; the reset of the receiving tube refers to the elimination of the charge at both ends of the receiving tube. The simple method is to remove the receiving tube. The output is connected to VREF1 through switch SW1. Specifically, it is connected to VREF1 through another switch (not shown in the figure) or VREF2 is configured to be equal to VREF1.

复位过程中SW1与后端电路保持闭合;t0时刻是整个周期的起始时间也是采样周期T1的起始时间,t1时刻是整个系统的复位时间,此时整个系统电路复位,采集电路复位,接收管清除电荷。完成这些操作后,连接开关SW1与后端的信号采集电路断开,为后续的累积电荷做准备。During the reset process, SW1 and the back-end circuit remain closed; time t0 is the starting time of the entire cycle and the starting time of the sampling period T1. Time t1 is the reset time of the entire system. At this time, the entire system circuit is reset, the acquisition circuit is reset, and the reception The tube clears the charge. After completing these operations, the connection switch SW1 is disconnected from the back-end signal acquisition circuit to prepare for the subsequent accumulation of charges.

本实施例中,清除接收管电荷采用的是闭合开关SW1并连接至与接收管参考电压VREF1一样的电压,接收管两端电压一致促使其结电容上的电荷放电。而不是在接收管上再并联一个开关,这样还是会增加漏电流。本申请中接收管仅一个连接开关SW1,在满足电路需求的基础上降低漏电流可能性。In this embodiment, the charge on the receiver tube is cleared by closing the switch SW1 and connecting it to the same voltage as the reference voltage VREF1 of the receiver tube. The voltage at both ends of the receiver tube is consistent to cause the charge on its junction capacitance to be discharged. Instead of connecting another switch in parallel to the receiving tube, this will still increase the leakage current. In this application, the receiving tube has only one connection switch SW1, which reduces the possibility of leakage current while meeting the circuit requirements.

S5:测试接收管的累积暗电流,具体方法为:S5: Test the accumulated dark current of the receiving tube. The specific method is:

在SW1断开状态下,在接收管暗电流检测时间TOFF内,测试接收管的暗电流对应的累计时间TOFF内的累积电荷QOFFIn the OFF state of SW1, within the dark current detection time T OFF of the receiving tube, test the accumulated charge Q OFF within the accumulated time T OFF corresponding to the dark current of the receiving tube.

t2时刻为第一次累积电荷的起始时间,此时电路解除复位状态,将暗电流累积到接收管的结电容CPD上形成电荷,t2到t3时刻之间的累积时间为TOFF,期间累积的电荷量为QOFF,图中第三行用小的斜坡表示。此时发光管LED处于关闭状态,图中第二行用虚线表示,接收管电荷在暗电流的灌注下持续升高,与此同时接收管的电压也逐步升高。时刻t1和t2的时间可以挨得很近,只取决于复位时间,t2到t3之间的累积时间TOFF是处理器可编程的可控时序。举例说明,如果处理器的时间控制精度为1uS,那么处理器设置为10则代表时间为10uS。这样的电路时序也非常适合于集成电路的状态机操作,时间间隔可编程。Time t2 is the starting time for the first accumulation of charge. At this time, the circuit releases the reset state and accumulates dark current to the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube to form charge. The accumulation time between time t2 and time t3 is T OFF . During The accumulated charge is Q OFF , represented by a small slope in the third line of the figure. At this time, the light-emitting tube LED is in the off state. The second line in the figure is represented by a dotted line. The charge of the receiving tube continues to increase under the perfusion of dark current. At the same time, the voltage of the receiving tube also gradually increases. The times t1 and t2 can be very close, depending only on the reset time. The accumulated time T OFF between t2 and t3 is a programmable and controllable timing sequence of the processor. For example, if the processor's time control accuracy is 1uS, then the processor setting is 10, which means the time is 10uS. Such circuit timing is also very suitable for state machine operation of integrated circuits, with programmable time intervals.

S6:闭合SW1,将接收管接入信号采集电路,测量接收管的暗电流,得到累积电荷QOFF对应的电压VOFFS6: Close SW1, connect the receiving tube to the signal acquisition circuit, measure the dark current of the receiving tube, and obtain the voltage V OFF corresponding to the accumulated charge Q OFF .

在t3结束后的紧挨着的t4时刻闭合开关SW1,此时累积于接收管PD上的电荷QPD所形成的电压可以由后端的信号采集电路所采集,在t5时刻采集接收管的电压,记为VOFFAt the moment t4 immediately after the end of t3, the switch SW1 is closed. At this time, the voltage formed by the charge Q PD accumulated on the receiving tube PD can be collected by the back-end signal acquisition circuit. The voltage of the receiving tube is collected at time t5. Marked as V OFF .

S7:将开关SW1闭合,对信号采集电路和接收管进行复位操作,复位结束后开关SW1断开。S7: Close the switch SW1, reset the signal acquisition circuit and the receiving tube, and open the switch SW1 after the reset is completed.

与步骤S4类似,复位过程中SW1与后端电路保持闭合;t6时刻是采样周期T2的起始时间,t7时刻是整个系统的复位时间,此时整个系统电路复位,采集电路复位,接收管清除电荷。完成这些操作后,连接开关SW1与后端的信号采集电路断开,为后续的累积电荷做准备。Similar to step S4, SW1 and the back-end circuit remain closed during the reset process; time t6 is the starting time of the sampling period T2, and time t7 is the reset time of the entire system. At this time, the entire system circuit is reset, the acquisition circuit is reset, and the receiving tube is cleared charge. After completing these operations, the connection switch SW1 is disconnected from the back-end signal acquisition circuit to prepare for the subsequent accumulation of charges.

S8:打开发光管,进入小量程微弱信号检测模式,实时地监测待测试区域内的稀薄或小颗粒烟雾状态;S8: Turn on the luminous tube, enter the small-range weak signal detection mode, and monitor the thin or small particle smoke status in the area to be tested in real time;

假设发光管的驱动电流为ILED,在发光管照射下颗粒散射所发光管产生的信号电流持续累积到接收管的结电容CPD上;Assuming that the driving current of the light-emitting tube is ILED, the signal current generated by the particle scattering of the light-emitting tube under the illumination of the light-emitting tube continues to accumulate to the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube;

驱动电流ILED使用小电流,ILED取值满足:ILEDMIN≤ILED≤ILEDMAXThe driving current ILED uses a small current, and the value of ILED satisfies: ILED MIN ≤ ILED ≤ ILED MAX ;

ILEDMIN为发光管的驱动最小电流,ILEDMIN取值为:每个电路的设计允许的最低驱动电流和发光管的LED器件允许的最小驱动电流中的较大值;ILED MIN is the minimum drive current of the light-emitting tube. The value of ILED MIN is the larger of the minimum drive current allowed by the design of each circuit and the minimum drive current allowed by the LED device of the light-emitting tube;

ILEDMAX为发光管驱动最大允许电流,ILEDMAX取值方法为:将发光管电流从大到小测试,同时观察接收光电流的数值,当发光管点亮时同步测得的接收管电流小于1%信号采集电路的量程时记为最大允许的电流ILEDMAXILED MAX is the maximum allowable current of the light-emitting tube drive. The method for determining the value of ILED MAX is: test the light-emitting tube current from large to small, and observe the value of the receiving photocurrent. When the light-emitting tube is lit, the synchronously measured receiving tube current is less than 1 % of the range of the signal acquisition circuit is recorded as the maximum allowable current ILED MAX .

所谓的本底,即无烟的本底信号,指的是发光管打开或者点亮时,当没有烟雾进入到探测器迷宫时由于迷宫机构的本身反射所造成的光污染信号,这个信号越小越好,尤其是本发明这种对本底信号敏感的应用场景。通常,测量本底的方法是在确保迷宫里面没有烟雾的时候打开发光管并采集接收管的数据,理想的测量结果为零,但可能不是,而且本底会随着发光管的功率提高而变大。本申请中,在小量程微弱信号检测模式下,为了配合电荷累积方法的需求,迷宫本底反射光的影响要降到最低,所以,使用发光二极管的低电流驱动部分,在稳定的烟雾探测器迷宫中测试本底效果,将发光管电流从大到小测试,同时观察接收光电流的数值,当发光管点亮时同步测得的接收管电流小于1%信号采集电路的量程时记为最大允许的电流ILEDMAX,在此基础上通过减少驱动电流直至消除本底信号。其中,规格书允许的以及发光管驱动电路允许的最小电流记为ILEDMIN,ILEDMAX≥ILEDMIN。在对ILEDMAX为进行测试的过程中,如果ILED降到ILEDMIN后仍不能满足本底电流小于采集电路量程的1%的要求则需要改进迷宫的光学设计。降低发光管驱动电流是很容易实现的,本申请通过减少驱动电流减少本地信号直至消除本底信号,但任何事物都有两面性,发光电流越小导致的散射光越弱,引起的光电流也会更弱,因此检测电路需要更高的灵敏度和更低的噪声,所以采用电荷累积的方法有助于实现极低噪声的弱电流检测。因此,本申请技术方案中,消除本底和电荷累积法检测弱光电电流的方法是相辅相成的。The so-called background, that is, the smoke-free background signal, refers to the light pollution signal caused by the reflection of the maze mechanism itself when no smoke enters the detector maze when the luminous tube is turned on or lit. The smaller the signal, the smaller the signal. Well, especially in application scenarios like this invention that are sensitive to background signals. Usually, the method of measuring the background is to turn on the light-emitting tube and collect the data of the receiving tube when ensuring that there is no smoke in the maze. The ideal measurement result is zero, but it may not be, and the background will change as the power of the light-emitting tube increases. big. In this application, in the small-range weak signal detection mode, in order to meet the needs of the charge accumulation method, the influence of the maze background reflected light must be minimized. Therefore, the low-current driving part of the light-emitting diode is used in a stable smoke detector. Test the background effect in the maze, test the luminous tube current from large to small, and observe the value of the received photocurrent. When the luminous tube lights up, the synchronously measured receiving tube current is less than 1% of the range of the signal acquisition circuit and is recorded as the maximum. The allowable current ILED MAX is based on which the drive current is reduced until the background signal is eliminated. Among them, the minimum current allowed by the specification and the light-emitting tube drive circuit is recorded as ILED MIN , and ILED MAX ≥ ILED MIN . During the test of ILED MAX , if the ILED still cannot meet the requirement that the background current is less than 1% of the acquisition circuit range after the ILED drops to ILED MIN , the optical design of the labyrinth needs to be improved. It is easy to reduce the drive current of the light emitting tube. This application reduces the local signal by reducing the drive current until the background signal is eliminated. However, everything has two sides. The smaller the light emitting current, the weaker the scattered light will be, and the resulting photocurrent will also be Weaker, so the detection circuit requires higher sensitivity and lower noise, so the use of charge accumulation method helps to achieve extremely low-noise weak current detection. Therefore, in the technical solution of the present application, the methods of background elimination and charge accumulation method for detecting weak photoelectric current are complementary to each other.

S9:将同时满足发光管点亮和SW1断开的时间点记作:测量起始时间;S9: Record the time point when the luminous tube lights up and SW1 turns off at the same time as: measurement start time;

以测量起始时间为起点,当测量持续时间到达TON时,打开SW1,将接收管上累积的电荷接入信号采集电路。为了计算方便,一般使得TON=TOFFTaking the measurement start time as the starting point, when the measurement duration reaches T ON , open SW1 and connect the accumulated charge on the receiving tube to the signal acquisition circuit. For the convenience of calculation, T ON =T OFF is generally made.

测量过程中,发光管驱动电流为ILED,产生的信号电流持续累积到接收管的结电容上,累计时间为TON,累积电荷为QONDuring the measurement process, the driving current of the light-emitting tube is ILED, and the generated signal current continues to accumulate on the junction capacitance of the receiving tube. The accumulated time is T ON and the accumulated charge is Q ON .

t8时刻为第二次累积电荷的起始时间,此时电路解除复位状态,将信号电流累积到接收管的结电容CPD上形成电荷,t8到t9时刻之间的累积时间为TON,期间累积的电荷量为QON,图中第三行用大的隆起表示。此时发光管LED处于点亮状态,图中第二行用实线表示,接收管电荷在信号电流的灌注下持续升高,与此同时接收管的电压也逐步升高。时刻t7和t8的时间可以挨得很近,只取决于复位时间,t8到t9之间的累积时间TON是可编程的。举例说明,如果处理器的时间控制精度为1uS,那么处理器设置为10则代表时间为10uS。一般来说,TON和TOFF具有同样的时间控制精度和编程时长所以保证两个时间段的累积电荷极其电压可以直接相减操作。因为接收管PD的等效电容CPD很小,因此时间控制精度需要尽可能高,一般为1uS级别、亚uS或者nS级别。这样的电路时序也非常适合于集成电路的状态机操作,时间间隔可编程。Time t8 is the starting time for the second accumulation of charge. At this time, the circuit releases the reset state and accumulates the signal current to the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube to form charge. The accumulation time between time t8 and time t9 is T ON . During The accumulated charge is Q ON , represented by the large bump in the third line of the figure. At this time, the LED of the light-emitting tube is on. The second line in the figure is represented by a solid line. The charge of the receiving tube continues to increase under the injection of signal current, and at the same time, the voltage of the receiving tube also gradually increases. The times t7 and t8 can be very close, depending only on the reset time, and the accumulated time T ON between t8 and t9 is programmable. For example, if the processor's time control accuracy is 1uS, then the processor setting is 10, which means the time is 10uS. Generally speaking, T ON and T OFF have the same time control accuracy and programming duration, so it is ensured that the accumulated charges and voltages in the two time periods can be directly subtracted. Because the equivalent capacitance C PD of the receiving tube PD is very small, the time control accuracy needs to be as high as possible, generally at the 1uS level, sub-uS or nS level. Such circuit timing is also very suitable for state machine operation of integrated circuits, with programmable time intervals.

S10:基于信号采集电路测量接收管的电压VONS10: Measure the voltage V ON of the receiving tube based on the signal acquisition circuit.

在t9结束后的紧挨着的t10时刻打开开关SW1,此时由后端的信号采集电路在t11时刻采集接收管的电压,记为VONOpen the switch SW1 at t10 immediately after the end of t9. At this time, the back-end signal acquisition circuit collects the voltage of the receiving tube at t11, which is recorded as V ON .

S11:计算测量接收管上累积的电荷QPD和接收管接收到的信号电流IPDS11: Calculate and measure the accumulated charge Q PD on the receiving tube and the signal current I PD received by the receiving tube;

QPD=QON-QOFF QPD = QON - QOFF ;

IPD=QPD/TONI PD =Q PD /T ON .

t5和t11时刻的数据采集过程一般很快,在图中用窄的脉冲表示。烟雾探测器内部的迷宫结构可以提供一个暗室的效果,即发光管没有点亮的情况下没有外界的环境光射入到接收管上,累积时间TOFF所产生的电荷QOFF均为暗电流贡献,当发光管点亮情况下累积时间TON所产生的电荷QON为信号和暗电流的和。因此,所以本方法中还包括接收管暗电流校准方法:The data collection process at t5 and t11 is generally very fast and is represented by narrow pulses in the figure. The labyrinth structure inside the smoke detector can provide the effect of a dark room, that is, when the luminous tube is not lit, no external ambient light is incident on the receiving tube, and the charge Q OFF generated by the accumulation time T OFF is a dark current contribution. , when the luminous tube is lit, the charge Q ON generated by the accumulated time T ON is the sum of the signal and dark current. Therefore, this method also includes the receiver tube dark current calibration method:

实际应用时,接收管暗电流校准方法为:使TOFF=TON时,信号电流所累积的电荷QPD=QON-QOFF=(VON-VOFF)×CPD,校准掉暗电流的影响;其中,CPD为接收管的结电容。In practical applications, the calibration method for the dark current of the receiver tube is: when T OFF = T ON , the charge accumulated in the signal current Q PD = Q ON - Q OFF = (V ON - V OFF ) × C PD , and the dark current is calibrated The influence of; where, C PD is the junction capacitance of the receiving tube.

接收管PD的暗电流是总是存在的,特别是随温度的变化,温度越高暗电流越大,暗电流有可能比待检测的光电流更大,因此校准暗电流是必须用要做的步骤,特别是对为弱光信号检测的场景。因此接收管PD的暗电流也是本底信号的一部分,在校准过程中可以被一次性校准掉。The dark current of the receiving tube PD always exists, especially as the temperature changes. The higher the temperature, the greater the dark current. The dark current may be greater than the photocurrent to be detected, so calibrating the dark current must be done. steps, especially for low-light signal detection scenarios. Therefore, the dark current of the receiving tube PD is also part of the background signal and can be calibrated out at one time during the calibration process.

上述步骤只是描述了逻辑的先后关系,实际操作可以在自由组合呈不同的步骤。The above steps only describe the logical sequence, and actual operations can be freely combined into different steps.

S12:当信号电流IPD大于预设的报警阈值时,则发出烟雾警报;否则,循环执行步骤S4~S12,继续对待检测环境进行检测。S12: When the signal current I PD is greater than the preset alarm threshold, a smoke alarm is issued; otherwise, steps S4 to S12 are executed in a loop to continue detecting the environment to be detected.

除了稀薄或者小颗粒烟雾探测的小量程微弱信号检测模式之外,本申请还提供了大量程信号检测模式即常规检测模式,以及小量程微弱信号检测模式与大量程信号检测模式切换的功能,满足小量程微弱信号检测和大量程大信号检测的需求。In addition to the small-range weak signal detection mode for thin or small particle smoke detection, this application also provides a large-range signal detection mode, that is, the conventional detection mode, as well as the function of switching between the small-range weak signal detection mode and the large-range signal detection mode to meet the requirements Requirements for small range weak signal detection and large range large signal detection.

大量程信号检测模式的进入方式包括以下步骤。Entering the large-range signal detection mode includes the following steps.

a1:设置常规烟雾测试的检测电路。a1: Set the detection circuit for conventional smoke test.

本申请中的常规烟雾测试的检测电路为:参照附图2,导通开关SW1,接收管通过开关SW1直接接入后端信号采集电路。本方法使用通用的采集电路进行信号检测。以跨导放大器为例,它可以将输入信号电流直接转换为电压VON=-IPD×RTIA,这里的RTIA为跨导电阻,将输入电流信号IPD转换为电压信号VON,跨导放大器工作于反向放大模式,故前面有负号。The detection circuit of the conventional smoke test in this application is: referring to Figure 2, the switch SW1 is turned on, and the receiving tube is directly connected to the back-end signal acquisition circuit through the switch SW1. This method uses a general acquisition circuit for signal detection. Taking the transconductance amplifier as an example, it can directly convert the input signal current into the voltage V ON =-I PD × R TIA , where RTIA is the transconductance resistance, and convert the input current signal I PD into the voltage signal V ON , and the transconductance The amplifier works in reverse amplification mode, so there is a negative sign in front of it.

a2:假设测量持续时间为tc,tc初始值设置为TONa2: Assume that the measurement duration is tc, and the initial value of tc is set to T ON ;

将接收管饱和时的电压记为VSA,当接收管饱和时,更多的光照不会引起电压的变化,因此对应的电荷也不会增加;The voltage when the receiving tube is saturated is recorded as VSA. When the receiving tube is saturated, more light will not cause a change in voltage, so the corresponding charge will not increase;

饱和电压VSA对应的饱和电荷记为QSA,因此QSA可以是实验值或者根据接收管规格书的开路电压和结电容进行估算;The saturation charge corresponding to the saturation voltage VSA is recorded as QSA, so QSA can be an experimental value or estimated based on the open circuit voltage and junction capacitance of the receiving tube specification sheet;

VSA=QSA/CPD,CPD为接收管的结电容。VSA=QSA/C PD , C PD is the junction capacitance of the receiving tube.

因为基于图2的电路不能直接测量接收管上的电荷QON,通过测量对应的电压VON=QON/CPD获得,TON是实验标定的阈值,且实验过程中可以获得饱和时VON的最大值。Because the circuit based on Figure 2 cannot directly measure the charge Q ON on the receiving tube, it can be obtained by measuring the corresponding voltage V ON =Q ON /C PD . T ON is the experimentally calibrated threshold, and the saturated V ON can be obtained during the experiment. the maximum value.

a3:在步骤S7~S10实施过程中,如果在tc时间内,接收管累积电荷达到饱和;a3: During the implementation of steps S7 to S10, if within tc time, the accumulated charge of the receiving tube reaches saturation;

则将tc调小,0<tc<TONThen adjust tc to a smaller value, 0<tc<T ON .

例如:本实施例中,将tc调整为0.6×TON<tc<0.9×TON范围内的值,再次测试累积电荷,如果获得的VON仍为最大值VSA,则说明接收管累积电荷饱和了,超过了小量程微弱信号的检测范围;将电路切换到常规烟雾测试的检测电路,进行大量程检测模式;如果VON也是成比例地减小,则更新累积时间TON=TOFF=tc。For example: In this embodiment, adjust tc to a value in the range of 0.6×T ON <tc<0.9×T ON , and test the accumulated charge again. If the obtained V ON is still the maximum value VSA, it means that the accumulated charge of the receiving tube is saturated. , exceeding the detection range of small-range weak signals; switch the circuit to the detection circuit of the conventional smoke test and perform large-range detection mode; if V ON also decreases proportionally, update the accumulation time T ON =T OFF =tc .

a4:再次在tc时间内,测试接收管上的累计电荷以及接收管的电压;a4: Again within tc time, test the accumulated charge on the receiving tube and the voltage of the receiving tube;

如果接收管的电压仍然达到了VSA,则切换到常规烟雾测试的检测电路,进行大量程信号测试;If the voltage of the receiving tube still reaches VSA, switch to the detection circuit of the conventional smoke test and perform a large-range signal test;

否则,如果接收管的电压小于VSA,则将小量程微弱信号检测时间阈值TON的值更新为tc对应的值后,循环执行步骤S4~S12;Otherwise, if the voltage of the receiving tube is less than VSA, update the value of the small-scale weak signal detection time threshold T ON to the value corresponding to tc, and then execute steps S4 to S12 in a loop;

本申请中常规信号检测的电路为:开关SW1闭合,接收管通过开关SW1直接接入后端信号采集电路,采集过程中SW1保持闭合。The conventional signal detection circuit in this application is: the switch SW1 is closed, the receiving tube is directly connected to the back-end signal acquisition circuit through the switch SW1, and SW1 remains closed during the acquisition process.

本方法中,从大量程信号检测模式切换到小量程微弱信号检测模式的方法为:当采用大量程检测模式进行探测,且过去一段时间没有发现数据变化,则切换到小量程微弱信号检测模式,但是,如切换至小量程微弱信号监测状态后仍出现饱和问题则说明阈值TH偏大,将TH值减小一定比例后继续使用大量程信号检测模式,防止系统反复切换检测模式而死锁。In this method, the method of switching from the large-range signal detection mode to the small-range weak signal detection mode is: when the large-range detection mode is used for detection and no data changes are found in the past period of time, then switch to the small-range weak signal detection mode. However, if the saturation problem still occurs after switching to the small-range weak signal monitoring state, it means that the threshold TH is too large. Reduce the TH value by a certain proportion and continue to use the large-range signal detection mode to prevent the system from deadlocking due to repeated switching of detection modes.

具体包括以下步骤。Specifically, it includes the following steps.

b1:预设量程切换所监测的时间段t,样本个数n和量程切换阈值TH;b1: The time period t monitored by the preset range switching, the number of samples n and the range switching threshold TH;

其中,样本个数n与所监测的时间t是相关联的,取决于检测的数据输出率ODR。举例说明,如果ODR=2Hz,采集样本的采集时间t=5s,那么采集时间t期间获得的样本数n=10。具体实施时,满足t≥5s且n≥5条件下的样本数n,取决于ODR,ODR为自然数。Among them, the number of samples n is related to the monitored time t, and depends on the detected data output rate ODR. For example, if ODR=2Hz and the collection time of collecting samples is t=5s, then the number of samples obtained during the collection time t is n=10. During specific implementation, the number of samples n that satisfies the conditions of t≥5s and n≥5 depends on ODR, which is a natural number.

量程切换阈值TH为监测对象的电荷数或者电压数,由于两者呈线性关系,一般测量电压信号,TH指的是最小的可分辨的电压,一般取值为检测电路输入满量程的1%或更低,小于这个值很难使用传统的检测方法检测或者分辨率很低。The range switching threshold TH is the charge number or voltage number of the monitored object. Since the two are linearly related, the voltage signal is generally measured. TH refers to the smallest distinguishable voltage. The general value is 1% or 1% of the full range of the detection circuit input. Lower, less than this value is difficult to detect using traditional detection methods or the resolution is very low.

确认持续的n个样本对应的监测对象的测量值;Confirm the measurement values of the monitoring objects corresponding to the continuous n samples;

如果n个样本数据的对应的测量值的平均值数值小于TH,则判断为低于大量程信号检测模式的监测范围,执行步骤b3;If the average value of the corresponding measured values of the n sample data is less than TH, it is determined to be below the monitoring range of the large-range signal detection mode, and step b3 is executed;

否则,执行步骤b4。Otherwise, proceed to step b4.

b3:切换到小量程微弱信号检测模式;b3: Switch to small range weak signal detection mode;

b4:仍然保持大量程信号检测模式,并同时执行步骤b2;b4: Still maintain the large-range signal detection mode, and perform step b2 at the same time;

而在步骤b3执行后,还需要执行防锁死措施。After step b3 is executed, anti-locking measures need to be implemented.

防锁死措施包括以下步骤:Anti-locking measures include the following steps:

c1:假设测量持续时间为tl,tl初始值设置为TONc1: Assume that the measurement duration is tl, and the initial value of tl is set to T ON ;

c2:在步骤S7~S12实施过程中,在tl时间内,接收管累积电荷达到饱和,则将量程切换阈值TH调整为:TH=TH*0.8;c2: During the implementation of steps S7 to S12, within the tl time, the accumulated charge of the receiving tube reaches saturation, then the range switching threshold TH is adjusted to: TH=TH*0.8;

切换到大量程信号检测模式,同时执行步骤b2。Switch to the large-range signal detection mode and perform step b2 at the same time.

本申请中,通过防锁死措施避免TH初始值设置过高,超过了小量程微弱信号检测的量程又返回大量程检测模式造成状态机死锁问题。In this application, anti-locking measures are used to prevent the initial value of TH from being set too high, exceeding the range of small-range weak signal detection and returning to the large-range detection mode, causing state machine deadlock problems.

本实施例中,基于跨导放大器提供大量程信号测量即常规信号检测。如果常规信号检测获得的信号没有变化,那么可以切换至小量程微弱信号检测模式,检测小颗粒和稀薄烟雾。In this embodiment, a large range of signal measurement, that is, conventional signal detection, is provided based on a transconductance amplifier. If there is no change in the signal obtained by conventional signal detection, you can switch to the small-range weak signal detection mode to detect small particles and thin smoke.

本申请采用低驱动电流来驱动发光管,低驱动电流的光功率转换效率较高,有助于减少或消除内部光污染,同时避免接收电路饱和。采用“曝光”的方法进行弱光检测。类似于单反相机的拉长曝光时间拍摄星空弱光的原理,“曝光”过程中将接收管与接收电路断开,不连接运算放大器,从而让光电子在接收管PD自身的结电容CPD上累积。累积到足够的电荷QPD后,接收管的电压VPD=QPD/CPD,当接收管电压VPD升高到可检测的范围时可以连接后端的信号采集电路进行数据采集。为了将全部的光电流都能累积在CPD上,防止漏电流,接收管PD的漏电流只取决于接入后端电路的模拟开关SW1,这种设计可以降低后端整个系统的设计复杂性并降低器件的成本,因为只有在开关SW1打开的一瞬间采集信号,不是一直接入检测。使用接收管PD累积电荷“曝光”的方法检测弱光信号的方法受接收管PD自身的暗电流影响很大,而暗电流又跟环境特别是温度相关,因此校准暗电流也是必须要考虑的问题。由于烟雾探测器本身的迷宫和光学设计很容易保证没有外部的环境光干扰,因此当发光管关闭的时候迷宫内部类似于暗室的效果。通过至少两个周期一个关闭发光管检测暗电流的周期T1和一个打开发光管检测信号的周期T2,T2的数据减去T1的数据刚好校准掉了暗电流的影响,这虽然是通用的环境光消除技术,但结合迷宫设计的天然环境配合“曝光”式的电荷累计方法是非常合适的。本申请技术方案,采用小量程微弱信号检测和大量程大信号常规信号检测相结合的方法,有助于拟补累积电荷法量程不足的问题,也能够兼容常规的检测模式,可以视为对常规模式的扩展。同时,常规模式由于量程足够也不必纠结于零本底设计,而小量程微弱信号检测则非常敏感,因此需要降低发光管的驱动电流并配合以电荷累计方法。因此,本申请考虑到了实际使用场景以及应用痛点来改进现有方案的方法,实现了性能和成本之间的折中和平衡。This application uses low driving current to drive the light emitting tube. The optical power conversion efficiency of low driving current is higher, which helps to reduce or eliminate internal light pollution and avoid saturation of the receiving circuit. Use the "exposure" method for low-light detection. Similar to the principle of extending the exposure time of a SLR camera to shoot weak light in the starry sky, during the "exposure" process, the receiving tube is disconnected from the receiving circuit and the operational amplifier is not connected, allowing photoelectrons to accumulate on the junction capacitance C PD of the receiving tube PD itself. . After sufficient charge Q PD is accumulated, the voltage of the receiving tube V PD =Q PD /C PD . When the voltage of the receiving tube V PD rises to a detectable range, the back-end signal acquisition circuit can be connected for data acquisition. In order to accumulate all the photocurrent on C PD and prevent leakage current, the leakage current of the receiver tube PD only depends on the analog switch SW1 connected to the back-end circuit. This design can reduce the design complexity of the entire back-end system. And reduce the cost of the device, because the signal is only collected at the moment when the switch SW1 is turned on, and is not always connected for detection. The method of detecting weak light signals by using the accumulated charge "exposure" of the receiving tube PD is greatly affected by the dark current of the receiving tube PD itself, and the dark current is related to the environment, especially the temperature, so the calibration of the dark current must also be considered. . Since the labyrinth and optical design of the smoke detector itself can easily ensure that there is no interference from external ambient light, the interior of the labyrinth has an effect similar to that of a dark room when the luminous tube is turned off. Through at least two cycles, a period T1 in which the light-emitting tube is turned off to detect dark current and a period T2 in which the light-emitting tube is turned on to detect the signal, the data of T2 minus the data of T1 just corrects the influence of the dark current. Although this is a universal ambient light Elimination technology, but it is very suitable to combine the natural environment of the maze design with the "exposure" charge accumulation method. The technical solution of this application adopts a method that combines small-range weak signal detection and large-range large signal conventional signal detection, which helps to compensate for the problem of insufficient range of the accumulated charge method. It is also compatible with conventional detection modes and can be regarded as an improvement on conventional detection. Extension of the pattern. At the same time, the normal mode does not have to worry about the zero-background design because the range is sufficient, but the detection of weak signals in the small range is very sensitive, so it is necessary to reduce the driving current of the light-emitting tube and use a charge accumulation method. Therefore, this application takes into account actual usage scenarios and application pain points to improve existing solutions, achieving a compromise and balance between performance and cost.
