[0041] In more detail, Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the entire sensor adaptive switching circuit is as follows:

[0042] 1) In the sensor driving module, the sensor PTR is driven by a bridge method. The first resistor R1 and the sensor PTR constitute a first voltage dividing branch, which divides the first power supply voltage VCC1 to obtain a driving signal V0. When the resistance of the connected sensor is greater than the resistance of the first resistor R1, the driving signal V0 is greater than VCC / 2. When the resistance of the connected sensor is less than the resistance of the first resistor R1, the driving signal V0 is less than VCC / 2; the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 constitute a second voltage dividing branch, which divides the first power supply voltage VCC1 to obtain a first gain reference signal V1; the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 constitute a third voltage dividing branch, which divides the first power supply voltage VCC1 to obtain a second gain reference signal V2.

[0043] 2) In the sensor state detection module, the voltage divider network formed by the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 divides the first power supply voltage VCC1, the voltage of the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is equal to VCC / 2, and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 drives the signal V0. When the drive signal V0 is greater than VCC / 2, the access state signal V3 output by the operational amplifier U1 is high level, which indicates that the resistance of the connected sensor is greater than the resistance of the first resistor R1, that is, the sensor connected to the circuit is PT1000; when the drive signal V0 is less than VCC / 2, the access state signal V3 output by the operational amplifier U1 is low level, which indicates that the resistance of the connected sensor is less than the resistance of the first resistor R1, that is, the sensor connected to the circuit is PT1000.

[0044] 3) Since the sensor can be connected to two types (PT100 or PT1000), the range of the driving signal V0 obtained by sensors of different types is different. In order to convert the driving signal V0 into a signal that can be effectively recognized by the analog-to-digital converter in the post-processing circuit, it is necessary to design a gain amplifier module for each sensor of different types. The designed first gain amplifier module and the second gain amplifier module have the same structure, and the resistance values ​​of the gain resistors (the ninth resistor R9 and the tenth resistor R10) are different. The gain amplification factor is related to the resistance value of the gain resistor. By adjusting the resistance value of the gain resistor, the driving signal V0 can be converted and matched to the acquisition detection range of the analog-to-digital converter (such as 0-3.3V), and the first temperature difference signal V4 and the second temperature difference signal V5 are obtained;

[0045] 4) In the temperature difference signal output switching module, the first temperature difference signal V4 and the second temperature difference signal V5 are selected and outputted through the double-pole double-throw analog switch U4. When the access status signal V3 is at a high level, the first switch in the double-pole double-throw analog switch U4 is turned off and the second switch is turned on, that is, the first output terminal 46 is closed and the second output terminal 48 is opened, and the second gain amplifier module corresponding to PT1000 is selected for amplification and output; when the access status signal V3 is at a low level, the first switch in the double-pole double-throw analog switch U4 is turned on and the second switch is turned off, that is, the first output terminal 46 is opened and the second output terminal 48 is closed, and the first gain amplifier module corresponding to PT100 is selected for amplification and output.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments only use PT100 and PT1000 as examples, and other types of thermal resistors may also be included, which are not limited here; in the temperature range of -50 to 150°C, the resistance value of PT100 varies in the range of 80.31 to 157.33Ω, and the resistance value of PT1000 varies in the range of 803.063 to 1573.251Ω.

[0047] Correspondingly, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the resistance values ​​of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the fourth resistor R4, the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 are all 500Ω, the first power supply voltage VCC1 is 3.3V, when the sensor PTR is PT100 (i.e. PT100 is connected to the circuit), the driving signal V0 obtained by the voltage division on the sensor PTR is 0.453~0.780V; when the sensor PTR is PT1000 (i.e. PT1000 is connected to the circuit), the driving signal V0 obtained by the voltage division on the sensor PTR is 2.0626~2.5223V. At this time, the ranges of the driving signals V0 corresponding to PT100 and PT1000 are inconsistent. By detecting the voltage value at this time and comparing it with the voltage division 1.65V of the seventh resistor R7, when PT100 is connected, the operational amplifier U1 outputs a low level, and when PT1000 is connected, the operational amplifier U1 outputs a high level. The detection range of the analog-to-digital converter of the post-processing circuit is 0-3.3V. In order to improve the resolution of the temperature signal of the analog-to-digital converter, when the temperature changes from -50 to 150°C, the output signals of the first gain amplifier module and the second gain amplifier module (i.e., the first temperature difference signal V4 and the second temperature difference signal V5) should be as close as possible to 0-3.3V. The first instrument operational amplifier U2 and the second instrument operational amplifier U3 both use instrument operational amplifier INA128, and their gain is Among them, R g The gain resistors (the ninth resistor R9 and the tenth resistor R10) are calculated according to the acquisition range of the corresponding driving signal V0 and the target range of 0 to 3.3 V. The resistance values ​​of the ninth resistor R9 and the tenth resistor R10 are obtained to be 5.48 KΩ and 8.739 KΩ, respectively.

[0048] Optionally, the sensor adaptive switching circuit also includes an analog-to-digital converter signal acquisition port, which is connected to the output end of the temperature difference signal output switching module, and is connected to the analog-to-digital converter of the post-processing circuit through the analog-to-digital converter signal acquisition port, and one of the first temperature difference signal V4 and the second temperature difference signal V5 is input into the analog-to-digital converter for analog-to-digital conversion. The signal after analog-to-digital conversion is then subsequently amplified or subjected to voltage-current conversion and other processing.

[0049] Secondly, based on the above-mentioned sensor adaptive switching circuit, the present invention also provides a temperature transmitter, which includes the above-mentioned sensor adaptive switching circuit and a post-processing circuit. When detecting the temperature, the sensor can freely select one of the first thermal resistor and the second thermal resistor to be connected. When the first thermal resistor is connected, the temperature difference signal output switching module selects the temperature difference signal corresponding to the first thermal resistor to output to the post-processing circuit; when the second thermal resistor is connected, the temperature difference signal output switching module selects the temperature difference signal corresponding to the second thermal resistor to output to the post-processing circuit. Through the above-mentioned sensor adaptive switching circuit, the signal switching and transmission of two different types of sensors can be freely realized, so that one temperature transmitter can adapt to two different types of (temperature) sensors at the same time.

[0050] In summary, the sensor adaptive switching circuit and temperature transmitter provided by the present invention, in combination with the sensor driving module and the sensor state detection module, detect the access state of the sensor, amplify the sensor's acquisition signal with different gains through the first gain amplification module and the second gain amplification module to match the analog-to-digital conversion processing range of the post-processing circuit, and then through the temperature difference signal output switching module, select one of the first gain amplification module and the second gain amplification module that matches the sensor according to the access state of the sensor to amplify and output the sensor's acquisition signal, thereby realizing adaptive switching and transmission of two different types of sensors.
