[0001] This invention relates to the field of voltage measurement technology, and in particular to a voltage acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Voltage refers to the work done by an electric field force on a unit positive charge moving from one point to another in an electric field. Voltage measurement is an important part of electronic circuit measurement. Voltage is a basic parameter in electronic technology measurement and is the foundation of electronic measurement and the basis for the measurement of many electrical parameters. Voltage measurement equipment and systems are required when performing voltage measurement.

[0003] Most short-range voltage acquisition devices on the market currently use wired connections, making it impossible to operate the equipment remotely. This makes it inconvenient for staff to remotely view voltage data. Furthermore, it cannot store voltage data when the detected voltage exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit in a timely manner, and the data cannot be saved even when the power is off. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a voltage acquisition device that allows operators to remotely view voltage data. When the detected voltage exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, the acquired voltage data can be stored in a timely manner, ensuring that the acquired data is preserved even when power is lost.

[0018] Step 4: The voltage measuring device (2) collects the external voltage through the connector (103), and then sends the signal to the ADC module on the front of the microcontroller (5) for storage;

[0019] Step 5: When the microcontroller (5) calculates that the detection voltage exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, it stores the voltage information and clock information into the E2PROM chip (503);

[0020] Step 6: Retrieve the data information stored in the ADC module and the records stored in the E2PROM chip (503) through the matrix keypad (201), and display the voltage and clock information through the digital tube display (202), or remotely control the records stored in the E2PROM chip (503) and the data information stored in the ADC module through the Bluetooth module (3) via the remote control platform (7).

By connecting the voltage acquisition device to the microcontroller, the microcontroller's internal ADC conversion circuit acquires the voltage. When the voltage is below the lower voltage limit VL or above the upper voltage limit VH, the event type and occurrence time are saved to the E2PROM. Simultaneously, the event type and occurrence time are sent to the paired device via Bluetooth serial port. The digital tube displays the current clock, sets the upper and lower voltage limits, and queries the stored event and time data via buttons, enabling better human-machine interface operation.

[0047] The system flow sequence when the voltage acquisition device is working is as follows: device connection → voltage setting → clock setting → data acquisition → data processing and storage → Bluetooth remote control, including the following steps;

[0048] Step 1: The voltage acquisition device connects the sampling point to the voltage measuring device 2 via the connector 103. The sampling range is 0-5V. The Bluetooth module 3 is connected to the microcontroller 5 via a wire.

[0049] Step 2: Set the upper and lower voltage limits via the matrix keypad 201, or via the Bluetooth module 3 through the remote control platform 7;

[0050] Step 3: Set the setting clock information of the real-time clock 502 via the matrix keypad 201, or set the setting clock information of the real-time clock 502 via the Bluetooth module 3 via the remote control platform 7.

[0051] Step 4: The voltage measuring device 2 acquires the external voltage through the connector 103, and then sends the signal to the ADC module on the front of the microcontroller 5 for storage.

[0052] Step 5: When the microcontroller 5 calculates that the detected voltage exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, it stores the voltage information and clock information into the E2PROM chip 503;

[0053] Step 6: Retrieve the data information stored in the ADC module and the records stored in the E2PROM chip 503 through the matrix keypad 201, and display the voltage and clock information through the digital tube display 202, or remotely control the records stored in the E2PROM chip 503 and the data information stored in the ADC module through the Bluetooth module 3 via the remote control platform 7.

[0054] The Bluetooth module 3 is responsible for connecting to the remote control platform 7, receiving information from the remote control platform 7, and returning the information required by the remote control platform 7.
