Below in conjunction with instantiation, the present invention is done detailed description.Fig. 1 is the circuit block diagram of the oil quantity indicator of the first embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to accompanying drawing, numeral 1 is represented the cylindrical gasoline cistern of horizontal, and wherein buoy 2 swims on the gasoline surface.Numeral 3 expression signal generation branches, the rising and the decline of the buoy 2 that interior dress analog signal generator such as potentiometer, this signal generator cause according to the variation of gasoline level position produce simulating signal.Numeral 4 representative voltage conversion of signals parts.Numeral 5 is represented a reometer, is used for common liquid level and shows.Fig. 6 is an input amplifier, and input signal is amplified about five times, and gives integrator 8 signal that has amplified by switch 7.

Under the situation of using the cube gasoline cistern, must change linear change into, at this moment, switch 14 works to cut off any non-linear circuit.Numeral 15 is represented the non-linear conversion circuit.Numeral 16 is represented indication counter.
Below describe the working condition of circuit, in this circuit, come the analog input signal of automatic signal generator 3 to be converted to the digital DC electric current, carry out non-linear conversion then.
The liquid level position of cylindrical gasoline cistern 1 is detected by the rising and the decline of buoy 2, says in some sense, and buoy 2 is equivalent to level sensor 2, and signal generation divides rising and the decline corresponding simulating electric signal of 3 generations with buoy 2.Input amplifier 6 is added with analog input signal at its input end, and it amplifies about five times with signal.The signal that has amplified is added on the integrator 8 by switch 7.
The unknown voltage V that amplifier 6 provides
XAdd to integrator 8 by switch 7, at a preset time T
1In carry out integration or charging.Subsequently, the signal controlling sent by ON-OFF control circuit 13 of switch 7 turns to.In this case, reference voltage V
sAdd to integrator 8, carry out reverse integral or discharge.Whether detect discharge process by null detector 10 finishes.If T
2Represent the time of reverse integral, following formula is represented T integral time
1, T
2With voltage V
X, V
SBetween relation: T
1/ T
2=V
S/ V
XTherefore, if known T
1, T
2And V
S, just can calculate V
XPreestablish circuit structure, make to be input as 1V(1000mv) time, because the effect of reference voltage, 100.0%, 1000 count pulse of 1000 count pulse correspondences (corresponding 100.0%), corresponding voltage V
sFor example suppose that charging voltage is V
x, the duration of charging is the time of 1000 count pulses, and reverse charging subsequently (discharge) voltage is reference voltage V
S, finish (zero is detected) through 500 count pulse chargings.So,
T
1=1000 count pulses, T
2=500 count pulses,
V
S＝100.0%。According to above-mentioned formula, obtain
V

Because the duration of charging T of input voltage determines by a series of like this processes, so receive 1000 during from pulse that clock oscillator 11 sends when reference count 12, a signal is added to ON-OFF control circuit 13, makes switch 7 get to position a from position b.
After detected zero-signal added to ON-OFF control circuit 13 when reverse charging finishes, switch 7 was got to position b from position a again, repeated the same course of work.
In this way, realized mould/number conversion.
In order to obtain the approximate broken line along the piecewise function curve, the number that non-linear conversion circuit 15 is remembered according to reference count changes the impulse ratio that is input to indication counter 16.
Symbol f among Fig. 2
0The number of representing reference count to remember, symbol f
1-f
3The approximate broken line that representative is obtained by the ratio that changes the input pulse number along the piecewise function curve.
For example, the number of being remembered when reference count 12 is 0～100, the pulse that gives indication counter 16 be reference count 12 the input pulse number 5.2%, thereby, obtain the approximate broken line of piecewise function curve.
Be based on the reverse charging time T of reference voltage owing to show required numerical value
2So umber of pulse during this time is only at T
2Count by the input of switch 17 control indication counter 16 during this time.
Each is all provided the output of indication counter 16 by time-sharing system, and delivers to digital indicator driving circuit 18.Digital indicator driving circuit 18 has two circuit, and one of them outside is connected to joint 19, in order to driving an independently display of display box is arranged.Numeral 20 is represented a digital indicator.
Relevant with power supply capacity, circuit structure is done such arrangement, and promptly when connecting outside demonstration joint, all internal display quit work.
Alarm disengage button of numeral 26 expressions.
As mentioned above, the main point of present embodiment is to adopt piecewise function, with the linear change non-linearization of analog input amount, thinks the usefulness of numeral demonstration.It is such making the nonlinearized principle of linear change, the frequency that is the count pulse of indication counter 16 changes according to the accumulative total of reference count 12 is digital, 12 pairs of time clock that produced by clock oscillator 11 of reference count are carried out linear counting, have therefore changed the counting ratio of display counter 16.Among the present invention, as present embodiment is pointed out, be equipped with single clock oscillator, employing can be preset except that the N counter and be carried out equivalent frequency conversion, and the counting system that removes the N counter can be changed by the predetermined input that adds.
Here, the straight slope in allowed band can obtain according to the curve calculation of piecewise function.Among the present invention, the variation of frequency is divided into three sections f
1To f
3(with reference to 2).In this case, the feasible slope when the line among Fig. 2 of given pre-input is 1(y=x) time, presettable counter can be by decade counter work.When reference count when 0-100 scope counting (liquid level is the 0-100 millimeter), with reference to the sectional area table, be 5.2% at 100 millimeters place's capacity, therefore, slope is 5.2/100.
Therefore, the cycle of pulse is 5.2/100, and promptly frequency is f
1=100/5.2=19.So presettable counter becomes the non-decimal counter.Similarly, at f
2During=100/100=1, it becomes decade counter, at f
3During=400/496=0.8, it becomes the octal representation device.
The critical piece that removes the N counter circuit is two BCD(binary coded decimal codings) counter 30 and two 4 bit digital comparer 31(are with reference to Fig. 3).In this circuit, will import in advance in advance and be decided to be f
1=19.When the count value of BCD counter becomes 19, comparer output A=B.This signal makes BCD counter 30 reset as the counting input pulse of display counter 16 simultaneously.So corresponding 19 clock input pulses provide a pulse.This process repeats always, till reference count 12 is fallen into a trap to 100.
This principle is equally applicable to frequency f
2And f
