It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a self-diagnostic artificial line, which includes an LC network, a power module, an isolation modulation circuit and a microcontroller MCU. The LC network is composed of at least one level of inductor L and capacitor C connected in series, wherein each level of capacitor C is connected in series with a high withstand voltage switch Kn, and each level of inductor L is connected in parallel with a high withstand voltage switch Sn; the power module is used to charge the LC network through a charging resistor R0 and a switch Ki, and discharge the LC network through a discharge resistor R1 and a switch K0; the isolation modulation circuit is connected in parallel with the LC network to obtain the voltage signal at both ends of the LC network and convert it into a digital signal; the microcontroller MCU is used to receive the digital signal of the isolation modulation circuit, and control the closing and opening of each switch in the LC network, as well as the output voltage of the power module.

[0042] By setting the high withstand voltage switch Kn and the high withstand voltage switch Sn, the charging and discharging process of the inductor and capacitor in the LC network can be accurately controlled, so as to realize the individual diagnosis of each component, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the diagnosis; the use of the isolation modulation circuit ensures the electrical isolation between the high voltage signal and the microcontroller MCU, prevents the possible voltage shock from damaging the MCU, and enhances the safety of the system; the real-time control and monitoring capabilities of the MCU enable the system to dynamically respond to the state changes of the LC network, timely adjust the output voltage of the power module, and optimize the system performance. In summary, when the artificial line in the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to be detected, the MCU can be controlled to perform self-detection, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment; and when a certain capacitor breaks down at high voltage, it can be bypassed by a switch and used normally only under the condition of changing the pulse.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the withstand voltage of the high withstand voltage switch Kn and / or the high withstand voltage switch Sn is greater than or equal to the charging voltage of the corresponding stage capacitor C. The safety of the high withstand voltage switch when the LC network is charged is ensured, and damage to the switch caused by excessive voltage is prevented, thereby improving the durability and safety of the artificial line.

[0044] Continue to refer Figure 1 When the artificial line is working normally, the pulse width it generates is Where n is the number of LC network stages, L is the inductor of each stage, and C is the capacitance value of each stage. The invention can adjust the pulse width by adjusting the number of LC network stages. For example, when the maximum pulse width is required, switches S1...Sn are all open, and K1...Kn are all closed. In this case, the number of LC network stages is n; when S1 is closed, S2...Sn is open, K1 is open, and K2...Kn is closed, in this case the number of LC network stages is n-1; and so on, the number of LC network stages can be arbitrarily set to 1 to n stages.

[0045] When any component of the artificial line is damaged, for example, C2 is broken down by high voltage, the switch K2 connected in series with C2 can be opened for emergency use; for example, when L2 is short-circuited, the switch S2 connected in parallel with L2 can be closed for emergency use.

[0046] Detection of any L: When detecting any inductor L in the LC network, it is necessary to disconnect K1…Kn. Except for the switch S connected in parallel with the detected inductor, all other switches connected in parallel with the inductor need to be closed. For example, to detect inductor L2, it is necessary to disconnect K1…Kn and close S1, S3…Sn. During detection, turn on the power supply, set the power supply value to U, and control the MCU at time t0 to close Ki and Ko. The power supply forms a loop through the resistor Ri and the inductor L2, thereby charging the inductor L2. According to the inductor charging formula, the charging current is obtained. U1B is an op amp modulation circuit, which collects the R i voltage in real time and sends it to the MCU for processing, and can calculate the real-time charging current. Since i, U, Ri, and t are all known to the MCU, the inductance value of L2 can be calculated by formula ① to determine whether the inductance value is normal. The rest of the inductance detection is similar.

[0047] Detection of any C: When detecting any capacitor C in the LC network, except for the switch K in series with the detected capacitor, all other switches in series with the capacitor need to be opened. For the switch in parallel with the inductor, the detected capacitor level and the previous switch S need to be closed, and the following switches S should all be opened. For example, to detect capacitor C2, it is necessary to close S1 and S2, open S3...Sn, and switch K2, and open K1, K3...Kn. During detection, turn on the power supply, set the power supply value to U, and control it through the MCU at time t0, close Ki, and open Ko. The power supply forms a loop through the resistor Ri and capacitor C2, thereby charging the capacitor C2. According to the capacitor charging formula, the charging current is obtained. U1B is an op amp modulation circuit, which collects the R i voltage in real time and sends it to the MCU for processing, and can calculate the real-time charging current. Since i, U, R i, and t are all known to the MCU, the capacitance value of C2 can be calculated by formula ② to determine whether the capacitance value is normal. The rest of the capacitance detection is similar.

[0048] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure should be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
