The trapezoidal screw 15 is connected to the stepper motor 17 through a transmission mechanism 18.
[0069] Stepper motor 17 uses CM57 series stepper motor produced by Shenzhen Leisai Intelligent Control Co., Ltd., with a maximum torque of 2.6Nm and a maximum speed of 2000rpm. The CM series is a high-performance, low-cost stepper motor created by Leisai Intelligent using new Japanese designs, new processes and imported core materials. Compared with common stepper motors on the market, it has the advantages of greater torque, lower heat generation, and better running stability. Due to the use of large-scale automated production lines and strict quality management systems, this series of stepper motors is more stable and reliable, and has better batch consistency of performance parameters.

The sealing structure only has an O-ring static seal, and there is no risk of dynamic seal failure. The oil cup 7 is specially enlarged and has a capacity of 500mL. In view of the problem that the pressurized cavity is relatively large, the present invention is provided with a pre-pressure pump 9 between the oil cup 7 and the pressure regulating cylinder 14, and the pre-pressure pump 9 is electrically connected to the controller 30. The present invention solves the problems of slow pressurization speed and insufficient stroke of the pressure regulating cylinder 14 at low pressure by adding a pre-pressure pump component. The pre-pressure pump 9 adopts the NP42 series NP070 micro gear pump produced by Shanghai Sofu Company. The Sofu NP series micro magnetic gear pump only has an O-ring static seal, and there is no risk of dynamic seal failure.

The drain assembly 11 includes a cleaning medium, a drain valve and a filter drain assembly 21. A stop valve 10 is provided between the pre-pressure pump 9 and the pressure regulating cylinder 14. The pressure relief valve 8 and the stop valve 10 use the H22 type two-way normally closed solenoid valve produced by Peterpaul. The H22 type two-way normally closed solenoid valve is a high-pressure solenoid valve with a very wide range of pressure and applicable media. The cleaning medium includes various gases and liquids, such as compressed air, water, hydrogen, nitrogen, and alcohol or compatible light liquids, etc., with a maximum working pressure of 40MPa.

[0075] The single chip microcomputer 31 is a 32-bit high-performance single chip microcomputer, which is used to provide the core control function for the system. The single chip microcomputer 31 uses Cortex TM -M4-based STM32F4 series high-performance microcontrollers, which use 90 nanometer NVM technology and ART (Adaptive Real-Time Memory Accelerator TM)6.4 Software System. ART technology enables zero-wait execution of programs, improves program execution efficiency, and maximizes the performance of Cortex-M4, allowing the STM32 F4 series to reach 210DMIPS@168MHz. The adaptive real-time accelerator can fully unleash the performance of the Cortex-M4 core; when the CPU operates at all allowed frequencies (≤168MHz), the program running in the flash memory can achieve performance equivalent to zero wait cycles. The STM32F4 series microcontroller integrates single-cycle DSP instructions and FPU (floating point unit), which improves computing power and can perform some complex calculations and controls. It is a perfect combination of MCU real-time control functions and DSP signal processing functions.
[0076] The communication interface module includes RS422 interface circuit, RS485 interface circuit, RS232 interface circuit and SPI interface 34. RS232 is a reserved interface for future expansion, such as remote digital pressure acquisition, equipment control, etc. An isolation protection circuit is designed at the interface to prevent static electricity and other abnormal conditions from causing damage to the mainboard. The single-chip microcomputer 31 is connected to the expansion unit 3 through the RS232 interface circuit, which is used for long-distance wireless communication, wireless pressure digital signal acquisition, and 4G network data interaction with the host computer. The single-chip microcomputer 31 is connected to the human-computer interaction unit 4 through the SPI interface 34, which is used for operators to operate the equipment and display real-time data.

The single-chip microcomputer 31 is connected to the hand operator 5 through the RS422 interface circuit, and the pre-pressure pump 9 and the stepper motor 17 are remotely controlled through the hand operator 5. The single-chip microcomputer 31 is connected to the pressure module 12 through the RS485 interface circuit for pressure signal acquisition. The RS485 bus is connected to the three-way pressure module 12 and provides 5V power supply for collecting and calibrating pressure values. Since the main control board 1 and the pressure module 12 are both inside the device, they are connected using the XH2.54 interface.
[0077] The single-chip computer 31 is connected to the power management circuit 32 to provide reliable power supply for other circuits. The device is powered by a 24V lithium battery. The power management circuit 32 steps down the input 24V voltage to 5V and 2A through a DC-DC transformer to power the serial port, peripheral driver chip and hand operator 5, and 3.3V to power the single-chip computer 31. There are overcurrent and overvoltage protection circuits and anti-reverse connection protection circuits at the power input end, and there are overcurrent and overvoltage protection circuits at the output end. At the same time, the ADC analog-to-digital converter of the single-chip computer 31 is used to collect and monitor each voltage, and the system power supply status can be observed in real time through the human-computer interaction unit 4. The human-computer interaction unit 4 has specific function buttons. The human-computer interaction unit 4 uses a 5.0-inch screen. The operation method can be basically understood through the button labels, and all functions are simple and clear.

The stepper motor driving circuit 37 adopts 32-bit DSP technology and built-in micro-segmentation technology. Even under low segmentation conditions, the effect of high segmentation can be achieved, and low, medium and high speed operations are very stable and low noise. The stepper motor driving circuit 37 includes a driver, and the driver has an integrated parameter automatic setting function, which can automatically generate better operating parameters for the motor and maximize the performance of the motor. It is connected to the single-chip microcomputer 31 through pwm signals, direction control, and error detection signals to perform voltage stabilization control. pwm pulse signal + direction signal, that is, the pulse signal determines the motor speed, and the direction signal determines the input signal given mode of the motor rotation direction.
[0079] The pre-pressure pump driving circuit 38 is composed of a motor driving circuit and a solenoid valve control circuit. The motor driving circuit has an output protection circuit to prevent the circuit from being damaged due to problems with the pre-pressure pump 9. Since the pressurization speed is particularly slow at low pressure during the pressure measurement process, the pre-pressure pump 9 can directly and quickly skip this stage, thereby improving the verification efficiency and user experience.
[0080] The single chip microcomputer 31 is also connected to the environmental information collection circuit 39, which includes a sensor of model BME280. The BME280 sensor is a mature digital humidity, pressure and temperature sensor. The sensor has a very compact metal cover LGA package, requiring an area of only 2.5×2.5mm 2 , with a height of 0.93mm. It is small in size and low in power consumption, making it suitable for use in battery-driven devices such as mobile phones, GPS handsets or watches.

The pressure sensor detects the real-time pressure of the system and controls the pressure generating unit 2 as a feedback signal. The pressure module 12 communicates with the main control board through the RS485 bus to collect real-time pressure values.
[0083] The human-computer interaction unit 4 includes a high-performance industrial touch screen. The high-performance industrial touch screen communicates with the main control board through the RS232 bus to realize real-time data interaction.
