[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure of the present invention is a resistor plate with programmable adjustable resistance, including a programmable resistor plate 3 , wherein the programmable resistor plate 3 is provided with a signal terminal 6 .

[0034] A signal terminal 6 is installed at one edge of the upper surface of the resistor plate 3, and a plurality of connection pins are arranged on the signal terminal 6. The signal terminal 6 usually has an I / O port to realize the control of the on-off of the control relay 7.

[0035] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art and overcome its defects, and to achieve the invention purpose of improving the flexible adaptability of resistance value adjustment, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the programmable resistor board with adjustable resistance in the present invention is provided with a digital output board 1, and the programmable resistor board 3 is connected to the digital output board 1 through a programming control cable 2; the output resistance signal of the programmable resistor board 3 is connected to the signal terminal 6.

[0038] The output end of the digital output board 1 is electrically connected to one end of the programming control cable 2. The digital output board 1 is connected to the programmable control interface through the programming control cable 2, so as to facilitate the corresponding control operation of the control element on the resistor board 3.

[0039] The digital output board 1 is programmed through a programmable controller to obtain the required resistance value.

[0040] The programmable resistor board 3 is provided with a resistance adjustment mechanism; the resistance adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of resistance adjustment groups, each resistance adjustment group includes a plurality of fixed resistance resistors, each fixed resistance resistor is connected in parallel with a control relay 7, and the control relay 7 is connected to the digital quantity output board 1 through a signal control circuit; when the control relay 7 is closed, the related fixed resistance resistor is short-circuited; when the control relay 7 is disconnected, the related fixed resistance resistor is connected to the total circuit of the programmable resistor board 3.

[0041] There are multiple groups of resistance adjustment mechanisms, which are equidistantly arranged on the upper surface of the programmable resistor board 3 near the center; wherein each group of resistance adjustment mechanisms includes a control relay 7 and a relay status indicator 8; the control relay 7 is installed on the upper surface of the programmable resistor board 3, and the relay status indicator 8 is installed on the upper surface of the resistor board 3, and the relay status indicator 8 is located on one side of the control relay 7.

[0042] The digital output board 1 drives the coil of the control relay 7 board to close, thereby controlling the action of the corresponding control relay 7 contact; the action of the control relay 7 contact controls the switching of the corresponding fixed resistance resistor.

[0043] When the control relay 7 is not in operation (ie, normally closed), the resistance of this path is 0; when the control relay 7 is in operation (ie, disconnected), the resistance of this path is switched into the total resistance of the group, forming the accumulation of the resistance of this group.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0045] The number of the resistance adjustment groups is 8; each of the resistance adjustment groups includes four fixed resistance resistors, whose resistance values ​​are 8, 4, 2, and 1 respectively.

[0046] That is, a total of 32 fixed-resistance resistors are arranged in the programmable resistor board 3, which are divided into 8 groups, each group of 4 fixed-resistance resistors, and are configured according to the coding rules of 8, 4, 2, 1, so as to realize continuous adjustment of the resistance in this gear; the 4 fixed-resistance resistors are connected end to end, and each group of 4 control relays 7 controls whether the 4 resistors are switched on or off.

[0047] The 8, 4, 2, and 1 mentioned here can be ohms (Ω), kilohms (kΩ), or other resistance units, which can be determined according to needs.

[0048] The 32 control relays 7 in the programmable resistor board 3 respectively control the switching of resistors 8, 4, 2, and 1 to form different resistance values.

[0049] For example, when all or part of the fixed resistance resistors of a resistance adjustment group are connected in series, any resistance value between 1 and 15 can be obtained. These different resistance values ​​are all programmed through programmable control.

[0050] Each of the control relays 7 is provided with a relay status indicator 8 for displaying the working status of the control relay 7, so that the working status of the control relay 7 can be conveniently checked.

[0051] The control relay 7, the relay state indicator 8, the resistor signal jumper 10 and the resistor signal jumper cap 9 are all welded on the programmable resistor board 3, which is convenient for use and easy to disassemble and replace.

[0052] The programmable resistor board 3 is provided with a resistance regulating group switching mechanism, and the resistance regulating group switching mechanism is provided with a resistance signal jumper 9; the resistance signal jumper 9 is used to switch adjacent resistance regulating groups on and off through a sliding button.

[0054] The two ends of the resistance signal jumper 10 are respectively arranged at the head and the tail of each resistance adjustment group, so as to realize the parallel connection or series connection of the resistance adjustment group in the total circuit of the programmable resistance board 3 .

[0055] The ends of each group of resistors can be short-circuited through a resistor signal jumper 10 to achieve series connection between channels; each group of resistor signal jumpers 9 can also be used to achieve application scenario requirements of preset pull-up or pull-down at one end of the resistor.

[0056] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] 1. Through the use of the resistance adjustment mechanism, the resistance can be continuously adjusted in the corresponding gear. Each resistor is connected end to end.

[0061] A power terminal 5 is installed near the edge of the upper surface of the programmable resistor board 3, and the power terminal 5 includes two voltage levels of 0V and +12V. The power terminal 5 is connected to a +12V power supply.

[0063] The resettable fuse 11 is an overcurrent electronic protection element, which is made of high molecular organic polymer under high pressure, high temperature, vulcanization reaction conditions, mixed with conductive particle materials, and processed by special technology; the overcurrent protection of traditional fuses can only protect once, and needs to be replaced if it burns out, while the resettable fuse 11 has the dual functions of overcurrent and overheat protection and automatic recovery, and can be used multiple times, which is convenient for saving resources;

[0064] A circuit fuse 13 is provided on the resistance circuit of the programmable resistance board 3. The circuit fuse 13 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the programmable resistance board 3 near the center of the edge.

[0065] The circuit fuse 13 has the same performance as the self-recovering fuse 11 and has a self-recovering function, so it can be used more economically.
