Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing embodiment of the present utility model is done explanation in further detail.
Embodiment one, and referring to shown in Figure 1, the gas leakage alarm device of present embodiment mainly partly is made up of gas concentration detection module, CPU module, power module and communication module etc.Wherein, the gas concentration detection module sensor that adopts its resistance to increase with the rising of the gas concentration constant pressure cryogenic testing circuit that cooperates simple peripheral circuit to form is realized the detection to gas concentration; The CPU module is the control core of whole device, by gathering the voltage signal of gas concentration detection module output, judges whether the gas content in the current gas transfinites, and when transfiniting, in time produce alerting signal, transfer to Surveillance center, alarm by communication module; Power module is responsible in the device each and provides required operating voltage with electric loading.
Present embodiment is the concrete establishment structure that example illustrates described constant pressure cryogenic testing circuit with the sensor based on the thermal barrier catalysis element, referring to shown in Figure 2.With described sensor R2 one end ground connection, other end series connection reference resistance R1, and by reference resistance R1 connection transistor V1, and then by transistor V1 connection constant voltage source Vcc.Described transistor V1 can be a triode, also can be the on-off element that metal-oxide-semiconductor etc. has amplification characteristic, and present embodiment is that example describes with NPN type triode.As shown in Figure 2, the emitter with NPN type triode V1 connects reference resistance R1, collector connection constant voltage source Vcc, the output terminal of base stage concatenation operation amplifier U1.With the inverting input of operational amplifier U1-be connected to the intermediate node place of reference resistance R1 and sensor R2, the in-phase input end of operational amplifier U1+connection reference power supply Vref.
When sensor R2 was in the gas that contains methane, its inner platinum filament surface can produce flameless burning, so make platinum filament resistance Yin Wendu rising and increase, promptly the resistance of sensor R2 raises.At this moment, the voltage difference at sensor R2 two ends has trend of rising, transfers to after operational amplifier U1 and reference power supply Vref compare, and makes that the voltage magnitude by operational amplifier U1 output reduces.Because the NPN type triode V1 of this moment is operated in the amplification region; therefore; the amplitude of voltage signal Vo by the output of its emitter reduces; the electric current that flows through reference resistance R1 and sensor R2 reduces; and then the voltage difference that makes sensor R2 two ends keeps constant; avoid the rising of platinum filament temperature, the effect that just played effective protection sensor R2 element thus, prolongs its serviceable life.
Meanwhile, the amplitude size of the voltage signal Vo of the emitter output by NPN type triode V1 just with the gas concentration relation of being inversely proportional to, so, can judge the size of gas concentration indirectly by the amplitude size of detectable voltage signals Vo.To transfer to the CPU module by the voltage signal Vo of gas concentration detection module output, resolving to the detection data of reflection gas concentration content, and then be sent to Surveillance center, show by communication module.
When the CPU module detects gas concentration and transfinites, can send alerting signal to Surveillance center by communication module, carry out that height is alert to be reminded.

Can transmit exactly in the line in order to ensure voltage signal Vo by described gas concentration detection module output, present embodiment preferably further is provided with operational amplification circuit between the output terminal of gas concentration detection module and CPU module, as shown in Figure 1, after by operational amplification circuit the voltage signal Vo of gas concentration detection module output being carried out the backward difference processing and amplifying, transfer to the CPU module again, so not only can prevent voltage signal in transmission course because of being subjected to the influence of undesired signal, and cause the CPU module to make false judgment, and can make the voltage signal size that is input to the CPU module proportional, thereby strengthened the accuracy of warning device testing result more with the gas concentration content that current detection arrives.
In order to reach energy savings, prolong the gas leakage alarm device purpose of design of working time, present embodiment has carried out specialized designs to the power module in the device, change traditional out-of-control power supply mode, and adopt power management module to come the electric energy output of battery is controlled, as shown in Figure 3.The power input of power management module is connected with battery, the direct supply Vin that battery is exported by power management module converts the output of multi-channel DC voltage to, such as Vout1, Vout2......, be respectively the electricity consumption electric in the device, such as electric loading such as gas concentration detection module, CPU module, communication module.The control end of power management module connects the CPU module, after warning device start operation, the CPU module is at first exported control signal, and the control power management module is exported each road DC voltage, for each the electricity consumption electric in the device, carry out the detection of gas concentration and the transmission of testing result.If it is lower that the CPU module detects current gas concentration, then determine long dormancy time, and output control signals to power management module, the control power management module cuts off the power supply to gas concentration detection module, operational amplification circuit and communication module, only the supply voltage of CPU standby operation is kept in output, control system enters dormant state, to cut down the consumption of energy.Then, the CPU module is carried out timing to dormancy time, behind the dormancy time of arrive setting, outputs control signals to power management module, controls it and exports each road DC voltage again, to wake each up with the electric loading operation that powers on, current gas concentration is detected.Described CPU module compares according to the ultimate value of detected gas concentration content and setting, and difference is big more, and the dormancy time of setting is long more; Difference is more little, and then the dormancy time of She Dinging is short more; During near the ultimate value set, the control power management module is continuously each electricity consumption electric up to detected gas concentration, with when gas concentration transfinites, can very first time output alarm signal, and alarm to Surveillance center.
Adopt this power supply design can be so that the energy consumption of whole device significantly reduces, thereby longer in the following working time of battery powered situation, the trouble of having avoided the staff frequently to change battery being caused have been saved the energy.
The CPU module of present embodiment changes tradition and adopts two single-chip microcomputers to carry out complete machine control, a Single-chip Controlling communication module part, the another one single-chip microcomputer is responsible for the acquisition tasks of concentration signal, two single-chip microcomputers intercom mutually and finish the design of complete machine control, and adopt single single-chip microcomputer to finish the unified control of complete machine, so that circuit structure is compact more, succinct.The single-chip microcomputer that present embodiment adopted is supported jtag port emulation and programming, and hyperchannel 10 bit A/D converters can satisfy the requirement of the precision and the resolution of most of test macro.Built-in EEPROM memory can be preserved significant data when system's power down.Referring to shown in Figure 1, also be provided with watchdog circuit in the periphery of described single-chip microcomputer, software adopts the state machine programming mode can reach system and never crashes.
