[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0056] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a hot spot temperature collection and positioning system, such as Figure 1 The system includes a temperature acquisition module 101 , a tiny signal processing module 103 , a main control module 104 and an interface module 102 .

[0057] The temperature acquisition module 101 is used to automatically collect the heat information of the hot spot, convert the heat information into a voltage signal, and send it to the interface module 102; the change in the voltage signal is a microvolt level signal.

[0058] Specifically, temperature acquisition module 101 may include a flexible micro-cable temperature sensor containing a temperature-sensitive dielectric material. Its measurable resistance changes with temperature, decreasing with rising temperature and increasing with falling temperature. This sensor can be installed in applications where space is limited or where strict requirements on volume and weight are in place, such as monitoring the temperature of power battery packs. The sensor can automatically collect thermal information from hot spots and convert it into a voltage signal. The variation in the voltage signal is in the microvolt range.

[0059] The interface module 102 is configured to receive the voltage signal and send the voltage signal to the weak signal processing module 103 .

[0060] Specifically, the interface module 102 acts as a transition to send the voltage signal to the micro-signal processing module 103. By setting the interface module 102 to transfer the voltage signal, the microvolt voltage signal can be protected from interference, thereby ensuring measurement accuracy.

[0061] The minute signal processing module 103 is configured to receive the voltage signal, convert the voltage signal into temperature information, and send the temperature information to the main control module 104 via a serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication method.

[0062] Specifically, the minute signal processing module 103 can be used to perform filtering processing and temperature conversion on the voltage signal, and send the temperature information to the main control module 104 via SPI communication.

[0063] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the minute signal processing module 103 includes a temperature conversion chip U1 , magnetic beads B1 , magnetic beads B4 , capacitors C1 , C9 , C2 , and a resistor R41 .

[0064] During implementation, the temperature conversion chip U1 can use the MAX6675, which has a temperature range of 0-1024°C. If the temperature acquisition module needs to capture lower temperatures, the MAX6675 can be replaced with the MAX31855, which has a temperature range of -200°C to 700°C. The two chips are pin-to-pin compatible, eliminating the need to modify the PCB. Simply replace the MAX6675 with the MAX31855 during placement. These two chips can be swapped in-situ, offering flexibility and high conversion accuracy.

[0065] The T- port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is connected to one end of the magnetic bead B1 and one end of the capacitor C1. The other end of the magnetic bead B1 is used to receive the negative input signal K- of the voltage signal. The other end of the capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0066] The T+ port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is connected to one end of the magnetic bead B4 and one end of the capacitor C9. The other end of the magnetic bead B4 is used to receive the positive input signal K+ of the voltage signal. The other end of the capacitor C9 is grounded.

[0067] A capacitor C2 is connected in series between one end of the capacitor C1 and one end of the capacitor C9.

[0068] The SO port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is connected to one end of the resistor R41, and the other end of the resistor R41 is connected to the main control module 104; the temperature conversion chip U1 converts the received voltage signal into temperature information and outputs the temperature information through the SO port of the temperature conversion chip. The temperature information is sent to the main control module 104 through the resistor R41.

[0069] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the GND port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is grounded. The VCC port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is connected to one end of the magnetic bead B5 and one end of the capacitor C12. The other end of the capacitor C12 is grounded, and the other end of the magnetic bead B5 is connected to the power supply. The CS / port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is the work enable port of the temperature conversion chip U1. The CS / port is connected to one end of the resistor R42. The other end of the resistor R42 is connected to the main control module 104. The main control module 104 controls the CS / port. The SCK port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is the SPI communication clock signal input terminal of the temperature conversion chip U1. The SCK port of the temperature conversion chip U1 is connected to one end of the resistor R43. The other end of the resistor R43 is connected to the main control module 104. The main control module 104 provides a clock signal to the temperature conversion chip U1.

[0070] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the positive input signal K+ of the voltage signal passes through the magnetic bead B4, capacitor C2, and capacitor C9 and enters the T+ port of the temperature conversion chip U1. The magnetic bead B4 and capacitor C9 play a filtering common-mode suppression role, and the cut-off frequency is YCM=1 / 2π*RB4*C9; among them, C9=C1, RB4=RB1, RB4 is the resistance of the magnetic bead B4, RB1 is the resistance of the magnetic bead B1, and the magnetic beads B4 and B1 are magnetic beads with the same resistance value.

[0071] The negative input voltage signal, K-, passes through ferrite bead B1, capacitor C1, and capacitor C2 and enters the T-port of temperature converter chip U1. Ferrite bead B1 and capacitor C1 provide common-mode filtering with a cutoff frequency similar to the positive terminal. Capacitor C2 provides differential-mode filtering with a cutoff frequency of YDIFF = 1 / 2π * RB4 * (2 * C2 + C1). Capacitor C2's capacitance must be at least 10 times greater than C1 (C1 = C9), and a ±5% C0G film capacitor can be used. Temperature converter chip U1 transmits data to main control module 104 via SPI communication. Resistors R41, R42, and R43 primarily filter interference on the signal line.

[0072] The main control module 104 is configured to receive the temperature information, determine the location information of the hot spot according to the temperature information, and send the temperature information and the location information to the interface module 102 via serial communication.

[0073] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, main control module 104 includes control chip U4, which can be a KF32A140IQS model chip. Port PA2 of control chip U4 is used to receive temperature information. Port PA4 of control chip U4 is used to output the SPI communication clock signal of temperature conversion chip U1. Port PD14 of control chip U4 is used to control the work enable port CS / of temperature conversion chip U1. Port PA1 of control chip U4 is used to output temperature information and position information to interface module 102.

[0074] It can be understood that the VREG port of the control chip U4 is connected to one end of the capacitor C20, and the other end of the capacitor C20 is grounded; the VSS port of the control chip U4 is grounded; and the VSSA port of the control chip U4 is grounded.

[0075] Understandably, Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic bead B6, the resistor R25, the resistor R26, the resistor R27, and the resistor R28 constitute a serial port output circuit.

[0076] Furthermore, the main control module includes an embedded database, wherein the embedded database pre-stores a plurality of sets of calibration data, each set of calibration data including a thermistor of the temperature acquisition module, a thermoelectric potential of the temperature acquisition module, a temperature of the temperature acquisition module, and a voltage value between an output positive electrode and an output negative electrode of a voltage signal of the temperature acquisition module;

[0077] The main control module is used to search the embedded database according to the temperature information, determine the thermistor, thermoelectric potential and voltage value corresponding to the temperature information, and determine the position information according to the thermistor, thermoelectric potential and voltage value.

[0078] Specifically, the position information is determined by the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] Wherein, L represents the total length of the temperature acquisition module, R i Represents the thermistor of the temperature acquisition module, U i Indicates the voltage value between the output positive and output negative poles of the voltage signal of the temperature acquisition module, U j represents the thermoelectric potential of the temperature acquisition module, (R1+R2+R3+R4) represents the internal resistance of the temperature acquisition module, and l represents the relative position of the hot spot.

[0081] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the temperature acquisition module 101 includes a flexible fine cable type temperature sensor, and the circuit of the flexible fine cable type temperature sensor is equivalent to Figure 4 The circuit shown. L represents the total length of the temperature acquisition module, R i Indicates the thermistor of the temperature acquisition module, which changes with temperature; U i Indicates the voltage value between the positive output and the negative output of the voltage signal of the temperature acquisition module; U j represents the thermoelectric potential of the temperature acquisition module, which changes with temperature; (R1+R2+R3+R4) represents the internal resistance of the temperature acquisition module; (R1+R2) represents the positive electrode internal resistance of the flexible micro-cable temperature sensor; (R3+R4) represents the negative electrode internal resistance of the flexible micro-cable temperature sensor. l represents the relative position of the hot spot.

[0082] It is understandable that according to Figure 4 The equivalent circuit shown in Figure 1 shows:

[0083]

[0084] After simplification, we get the location information of the hotspot:

[0085]

[0086] During implementation, the main control module 104 includes an embedded database that pre-stores several sets of calibration data. Each set of calibration data includes a thermistor of a temperature acquisition module, a thermoelectric potential of a temperature acquisition module, a temperature of a temperature acquisition module, and a voltage value between the positive output and the negative output of a voltage signal of the temperature acquisition module. The main control module searches the embedded database based on the temperature information to determine the thermistor, thermoelectric potential, and voltage value corresponding to the temperature information, and determines the position information based on the thermistor, thermoelectric potential, voltage value, and formula (2).

[0087] Compared with the prior art, the hot spot temperature collection and positioning system provided in this embodiment locates the hot spot in the temperature collection module by presetting an embedded database in the main control module and locating the hot spot according to the temperature information.

[0088] The interface module 102 is further configured to receive the temperature information and the location information, and send the temperature information and the location information to a display device for display.

[0089] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the interface module includes a connector JP4, an electrostatic resistor ESD diode D5, an ESD diode D6, an ESD diode D7 and an electromagnetic compatibility EMC capacitor C35.

[0090] The male connector of the Pin1 port of the connector JP4 is used to receive the positive input signal K+ of the voltage signal. The female connector of the Pin1 port of the connector JP4 is connected to the tiny signal processing module 103 and one end of the ESD diode D5. The other end of the ESD diode D5 is grounded.

[0091] The male connector of the Pin2 port of the connector JP4 is used to receive the negative input signal K- of the voltage signal. The female connector of the Pin1 port of the connector JP4 is connected to the tiny signal processing module 103 and one end of the ESD diode D6. The other end of the ESD diode D6 is grounded.

[0092] The female end of the Pin4 port of the connector JP4 is connected to one end of the ESD diode D7, one end of the EMC capacitor C35 and the display device, and the other end of the ESD diode D7 and the other end of the EMC capacitor C35 are grounded; the male end of the Pin4 port of the connector JP4 is connected to the port for outputting temperature information and position information in the main control module.

[0093] It is worth noting that the ESD diode D5 and the ESD diode D6 provide electrostatic protection for the received voltage signal; the ESD diode D7 and the EMC capacitor C35 provide electrostatic protection for the temperature information and position information output by the main control module.

[0094] Preferably, if Figure 5 As shown, the interface module further includes an ESD diode D2, an EMC capacitor C23 and an EMC capacitor C24;

[0095] The female connector of the Pin8 port of the connector JP4 is connected to one end of the ESD diode D2, one end of the EMC capacitor C23, and one end of the EMC capacitor C24, and is connected to the current output module or the voltage output module, for receiving the positive signal of the standard current signal or the positive signal of the standard voltage signal; the other end of the ESD diode D2, the other end of the EMC capacitor C23, and the other end of the EMC capacitor C24 are all grounded, and the male connector of the Pin8 port of the connector JP4 is connected to the display device, for transmitting the standard current signal or the standard voltage signal to the display device.

[0096] The female connector of Pin7 of the connector JP4 is grounded and connected to the current output module for receiving the negative signal of the standard current signal.

[0097] During implementation, the temperature acquisition module is laid in the space where the temperature is measured, and the heating information of the hot spot is collected. The heating information is converted into a voltage signal, and the voltage signal is sent to the interface module. The interface module transfers the received voltage signal to the micro-signal processing module. The micro-signal processing module converts the voltage signal into temperature information and sends the temperature information to the main control module through SPI communication. The main control module determines the position information of the hot spot based on the temperature information, and finally sends the position information and temperature information to the interface module through serial communication. The interface module sends the temperature information and position information to the display device for display.

[0098] Compared with the existing technology, the hot spot temperature acquisition and positioning system provided in this embodiment accurately receives microvolt-level voltage signals through an interface module, and then uses a tiny signal processing module and a main control module to determine the position information and temperature information of the hot spot, thereby realizing the reception of the tiny signal output from the temperature acquisition module and the positioning of the hot spot in the temperature acquisition module.

[0099] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, the system further includes a current output module and / or a voltage output module;

[0100] The main control module is further configured to output a PWM pulse signal to the current output module and / or the voltage output module according to the temperature information; the PWM pulse signal includes the PWMA pulse signal and the PWMB pulse signal.

[0101] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the main control module outputs PWMA pulse signal and PWMB pulse signal through PA5 port and PA6 port of control chip U4 respectively.

[0102] The current output module is used to receive the PWM pulse signal sent by the main control module, generate a standard current signal according to the PWM pulse signal, and send the standard current signal to the interface module.

[0103] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the current output module includes a current chip U6, a magnetic bead B2, an EMC capacitor C3, an EMC capacitor C4, an ESD diode D2 and a magnetic bead B8; the current chip U6 can be a MAX12900 model chip.

[0104] The PWMAO port of the current chip U6 is used to receive the PWMA pulse signal, and the PWMBO port of the current chip U6 is used to receive the PWMB pulse signal;

[0105] The VCC port of the current chip U6 is connected to one end of the magnetic bead B2, and the other end of the magnetic bead B2 is connected to one end of the ESD diode D2, one end of the EMC capacitor C3, and one end of the EMC capacitor C4, and serves as the output positive electrode of the standard current signal to send the positive electrode signal of the standard current signal to the interface module.
