[0034] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0035] Electric energy meter testing device embodiment

[0036] Bluetooth technology has two ways of transmission in application, voice call and data, and accordingly, in the underlying data transmission, Bluetooth supports two data transmission modes of circuit switching and packet switching. In the Bluetooth technology standard, the transmission of circuit switching is called SCO communication link, and the transmission of packet switching is called ACL communication link; the former mainly transmits strong real-time information such as voice, and the latter is mainly based on data packets. Voice and data can be transmitted separately or simultaneously. Bluetooth supports an asynchronous data channel, or three concurrent synchronous voice channels, or a channel that transmits asynchronous data and synchronous voice simultaneously. Each voice channel supports 64 kbps synchronous voice. Corresponding to the SCO communication link based on circuit switching, after the connection between the master device and the slave device is established, whether there is data transmission or not, the system will reserve fixed interval time slots for the master device and the slave device, and other slave devices cannot use the time slots on this connection to send data, as shown in Figure 2 , so the SCO communication link is applied to the transmission of synchronous conversation voice, and the clock deviation before the master and slave does not exceed ±10us.

[0037] Based on this, the application provides an electric energy meter calibration device, which comprises a calibration table body, a first Bluetooth module arranged at the end of the calibration table body, and a second Bluetooth module arranged at the end of an electric energy meter to be calibrated, an SCO communication link between the calibration table body and the electric energy meter to be calibrated is established through the first Bluetooth module and the second Bluetooth module, the transmission of the electric energy meter pulse signal is realized by using the SCO communication link, and the SCO communication link and the ACL communication link are independent links and do not interfere with each other, so that the transmission of the electric energy meter pulse signal through the SCO communication link does not affect the communication between the ACL communication link of the electric energy meter to be calibrated and other external devices during the calibration process, and the normal operation of other services is ensured.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The second Bluetooth module arranged at the end of the electric energy meter comprises a PCM encoder and a Bluetooth chip, wherein the PCM encoder is connected with the pulse signal output terminal of the electric energy meter to realize the sampling and coding of the electric energy meter pulse signal; and the Bluetooth chip is provided with an asynchronous sending buffer, a synchronous sending buffer, a packet packer and an audio processing module. The electric energy meter judges the precision of electric energy measurement, clock and other functions by comparing the pulse generation interval time. During the calibration, the measurement of the power consumption in a period and the calculation of the number of accumulated output pulses of the electric energy meter by the standard equipment can detect the measurement precision of the electric energy meter. The pulses of the electric energy meter include active electric energy pulses, reactive electric energy pulses, second pulse output, demand cycle pulses, time period switching pulses, forward harmonic electric energy pulses and reverse harmonic electric energy pulses.

[0039] The electric energy meter outputs corresponding pulse signals to the electric energy meter pulse signal output terminal according to the command type, wherein the PCM encoder is used for sampling and coding at a set sampling frequency, 1 byte of data representing the voltage amplitude of the pulse signal is generated by coding, and the coded data is sent to the Bluetooth chip through the PCM interface; the Bluetooth chip puts the coded data output by the PCM encoder into the SCO synchronous sending buffer through the PCM interface, it is assumed that the PCM encoder is sampled and coded at 8KHz, it is sampled once every 125us and coded into 1 byte, 20 bytes of PCM coded data will be generated to the SCO synchronous sending buffer every 2.5ms, and the SCO synchronous sending buffer sends data to the packet packer every 2.5ms; the packet packer is used for packing the 20 bytes of data, and sending the packed data to the audio processing module after the packing is completed, and the audio processing module sends the data to the first Bluetooth module at the end of the detection table body on the corresponding time slot of the SCO.

[0040] As shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the first Bluetooth module arranged at the end of the testing platform body includes a PCM decoder and a Bluetooth chip. The Bluetooth chip in the first Bluetooth module and the Bluetooth chip in the second Bluetooth module have similar structures, including an asynchronous receiving buffer, a synchronous receiving buffer, a packet unpacker, and an audio processing module. The audio processing module is configured to receive data sent from the second Bluetooth module and send the received data to the packet unpacker. The packet unpacker is configured to unpack the data and place the data received through the SCO communication link into the synchronous receiving buffer and place the data received through the ACL communication link into the asynchronous receiving buffer. The data in the synchronous receiving buffer is transmitted to the PCM decoder through the PCM interface. The PCM decoder decodes the PCM data at a frequency of 8 kHz and outputs the decoded data to the PCM decoding output pin through an audio driver, restores the voltage waveform of the pulse output GPIO pin of the electric energy meter, and then outputs the signal to the corresponding type of pulse input signal line of the testing platform body through the multiplexer and the GPIO control of the Bluetooth chip. Since SCO is used for audio transmission, the chip design includes an audio driver, i.e., an audio analog signal is generated through DAC output. Therefore, the pulse voltage waveform can be output by borrowing this drive.

[0041] During the entire process, the voltage waveform on the pulse output GPIO pin of the electric energy meter is encoded, transmitted, and decoded by the testing platform. The time delay is fixed at 2.5 ms±10 us (±10 us is an uncertain window time caused by clock drift and jitter between the master and slave devices). The fixed time delay does not affect the calibration, the 8 kHz pulse resolution of the encoding and decoding meets the accuracy requirements of the highest 0.2S level electric meter pulse calibration.

[0042] The working process of the calibration device is as shown in Figure 1 The specific implementation steps are as follows.

[0043] 1. Establish a Bluetooth connection between the testing platform and the electric energy meter to be calibrated.

[0044] The testing platform initiates a connection establishment request to the second Bluetooth module arranged at the end of the electric energy meter to be calibrated through the first Bluetooth module according to the address of the electric energy meter to be calibrated. The second Bluetooth module receives the request and establishes a Bluetooth connection. Here, the established Bluetooth connection refers to the ACL communication link.

[0045] 2. Establish an SCO communication link between the testing platform and the electric energy meter to be calibrated.

[0046] After the connection is established, the test bench body is taken as a Bluetooth master device to initiate the establishment of an SCO communication link to the electric energy meter to be tested. The SCO link belongs to a synchronous transmission type of circuit switching. Circuit switching is that after the connection between the master device and the slave device is established, the system will reserve a fixed interval of time slots for the master device and the slave device regardless of whether data is sent or not. Other slave devices cannot use the time slots on the connection to send data. As shown in Figure 2 assuming that HV2 packet transmission is used, the underlying link is fixedly allocated to the master device for 625us (one time slot) every 2.5ms (four time slots) for the master device to send an SCO packet to the slave device. According to the standard, the next time slot is fixedly allocated to the slave device for the slave device to send an SCO packet to the master device. Other time slots are used for ACL communication link transmission of asynchronous packet data. The established SCO communication link can be multiple, for example, two or three, to facilitate the simultaneous transmission of multiple pulse signal data and further improve the testing efficiency.

[0047] In the present application, the test bench body Bluetooth only needs to send standard Bluetooth service data (for control) to the electric energy meter Bluetooth, and does not need to send synchronization data to the electric energy meter Bluetooth module. The electric energy meter Bluetooth needs to simultaneously receive and send standard Bluetooth service data and send synchronization pulse coding data to the test bench body Bluetooth module. From the perspective of underlying data communication, taking HV2 packet transmission as an example, once the SCO link is established, one time slot will be used to transmit the test bench body Bluetooth module data to the electric energy meter Bluetooth module (in the present application, the transmitted data is invalid data, which is only used for time synchronization) every four time slots, and one time slot will be used to transmit the synchronization pulse coding data of the electric energy meter end every four time slots.

[0048] 3. The test bench body sends a start metering command to the electric energy meter to be tested.

[0049] After the SCO communication link is established, the test bench body sends a start metering command to the electric energy meter to be tested through Bluetooth service (ACL communication link). After receiving the response of the electric energy meter to be tested, the test bench body starts the metering process.

[0050] 4. The electric energy meter to be tested collects electric energy meter pulse signals according to the start metering command and transmits the collected electric energy meter pulse signals to the test bench body through the SCO communication link.

[0051] Specifically, the electric energy meter outputs corresponding pulse signals to the electric energy meter pulse signal output terminal according to the command type, then the signals are encoded by the PCM encoder and transmitted to the SCO synchronous sending buffer of the Bluetooth chip through the PCM interface of the Bluetooth chip. 20 bytes of PCM encoded data will be generated to the SCO synchronous sending buffer every 2.5 ms. After the SCO synchronous sending buffer packs the data through the packet packer every 2.5 ms, the data is sent to the detection station body end Bluetooth module through the audio processing module on the SCO time slot from the main direction, that is, the packed pulse signals are sent to the first Bluetooth module through the SCO communication link.

[0052] 5. The detection station body restores the pulse signals received from the SCO communication link, and realizes the detection of the electric energy meter to be detected according to the restoration result.

[0053] The detection station body end Bluetooth module receives data through its audio processing module, and then unpacks the data through the packet unpacker and puts the data into the SCO synchronous receiving buffer. Then the data is transmitted to the PCM decoder through the PCM receiving. The PCM decoder decodes the PCM data at a frequency of 8KHz and outputs the voltage waveform of the electric energy meter pulse output GPIO pin through the audio drive to the PCM decoding output pin. The voltage waveform of the electric energy meter pulse output GPIO pin is restored, and then the signal is output to each type of pulse input signal line of the detection station body through the Bluetooth chip GPIO control by the multi-channel selector.

[0054] 6. After the detection is completed, the SCO communication link is cancelled.

[0055] After the detection is completed, the detection station body sends a stop meter detection command to the electric energy meter to be detected through the Bluetooth service. After receiving the response, the detection station body initiates the cancellation of the SCO communication link, and ends the electric energy meter detection process.

[0056] As other embodiments, the second Bluetooth module of the present application can also adopt a digital coding mode when performing pulse sampling coding, that is, the second Bluetooth module samples the multi-channel (in this case, up to 8 channels can be coded and transmitted) pulse signals of the electric energy meter at a sampling frequency of 8KHz, and after sampling, the data is normalized, with bit‘0’ representing low level and bit‘1’ representing high level, so that one byte can represent the state of 8 pulse signals at the current time through this coding mode; according to the sampling frequency of 8KHz, the 8 pulse signals are sampled every 125us and normalized to 1 byte, and 20 bytes of coded data are generated every 2.5ms to the SCO synchronous sending buffer, and the data is sent to the first Bluetooth module on the calibration platform through the SCO link. Similarly, the first Bluetooth module decodes the data according to the frequency of 8KHz, and every decoding takes out 1 byte of data, and the corresponding 8 bits are output to the corresponding GPIO, and through this mode, the 8 electric energy meter pulse signals are also restored. This coding mode can represent the state of multiple (up to 8) pulse signals at one time, compared with a coding representing the size of one pulse signal, greatly improving the coding efficiency and transmission efficiency.

[0058] The present application first establishes the Bluetooth connection between the calibration platform and the electric energy meter to be calibrated, and establishes the SCO communication link between the calibration platform and the electric energy meter to be calibrated after the connection is established; then after the SCO communication link is established, the calibration platform sends a start meter command to the electric energy meter to be calibrated; the electric energy meter to be calibrated collects the electric energy meter pulse signals according to the start meter command, and transmits the collected electric energy meter pulse signals to the calibration platform through the SCO communication link; finally, the calibration platform restores the pulse signals received from the SCO communication link, and realizes the calibration of the electric energy meter to be calibrated according to the restoration result. The specific implementation process of the method has been described in the embodiment of the device, which will not be repeated here.
