Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of perimeter security, and in particular to a signal transmission device for a laser beam-shooting product. Background Art

[0002] 1. In the field of perimeter protection, current laser beam products generally adopt the following description: Figure 1 The signal transmission method of the block diagram: the output signal of the transmitting microcontroller directly controls the driving tube to drive the laser diode to emit laser, and the photoelectric tube at the receiving end converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is amplified and shaped and then directly sent to the receiving microcontroller for processing. The microcontroller outputs the control result of the corresponding state after internal recognition.

[0003] 2. Defects of the existing technology:

[0004] (1) Figure 1 The signal transmission method is a method in which the signal has no modulation or demodulation, the transmitting microcontroller directly sends the code, and the receiving microcontroller directly reads the code.

[0005] (2) Since the receiving end reads the code directly, when there is other light with a similar wavelength from the outside, such as sunlight, building lights, remote controls, laser flashlights, etc., shining on the receiving photoelectric tube, the received signal will be amplified and shaped synchronously and sent to the receiving microcontroller together, forming a multi-signal superposition, turning the wrong signal into a correct signal, or the correct signal will be identified as an error signal due to the superposition of other signals, etc., causing the microcontroller to be easily interfered with and cause false alarms or missed alarms. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to address the problem of easy interference of signals in existing products. The present invention adds a signal carrier modulation circuit at the laser transmitting end, and adds a signal frequency discrimination demodulation circuit at the receiving end after signal amplification and shaping to improve the above-mentioned problem of easy interference of signals, and adds a constant current output circuit at the laser transmitting end to improve the stability of laser output, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0007] 1. The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] 1. A signal transmission device for a laser beam product, comprising a transmitting end: a single-chip microcomputer unit, a signal modulation unit, a constant current control unit, a driving tube unit and a laser diode unit; a receiving end: a receiving photoelectric tube unit, a signal amplification unit, a signal shaping unit, a signal demodulation unit, and a single-chip microcomputer unit.

[0009] 2. The scheme is further as follows: the transmitting end outputs the laser power signal required to drive the laser, the low-frequency carrier signal for signal modulation, and the low-frequency modulation signal respectively by the single-chip unit, and after modulation by the signal modulation unit, a modulated frequency signal is synthesized and input into the constant current control unit, and the constant current control unit controls the output current of the driving tube unit and performs constant current, and the driving tube unit drives the laser diode unit to emit a laser with an output power and modulated frequency corresponding to the preset output power of the single-chip unit.

[0010] 3. The scheme is further as follows: the receiving end converts the laser signal received from the transmitting end into an electrical signal output by the receiving photoelectric tube, and the electrical signal is amplified by the signal amplification unit and sent to the signal shaping unit for comparison and shaping, and then the restored modulated pulse frequency signal is output to the signal demodulation unit. The signal demodulation unit discriminates the received modulation frequency signal and the local oscillator frequency and then outputs a demodulation signal that is the same as the low-frequency modulation frequency of the transmitting end. The single-chip unit identifies the received demodulation frequency signal and outputs the corresponding state.

[0011] 2. The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] Due to the addition of signal modulation at the transmitting end and signal demodulation at the receiving end, external interference light signals are not received or demodulated, which greatly reduces the problem of misidentification, improves the product's anti-interference ability, effectively reduces missed reports and false alarms during use, and improves the reliability and safety of the equipment; and adds an output constant current circuit at the laser transmitting end to ensure the stability of the output laser, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.

[0047] 6.
