[0028] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 The downhole audio broadcasting device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described. The downhole audio broadcasting device according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of voice slave stations connected in series through a current loop.

[0029] See also Figure 1 Each voice slave station mainly includes: a left port 101 and a left audio receiving module 102 and a left audio sending module 103 respectively connected to the left port 101, a right port 104 and a right audio receiving module 105 and a right audio sending module 106 respectively connected to the right port 104, and a sound amplification circuit module 107.

[0030] For the voice slave station, the left port 101 is connected to the upstream voice slave station, and the right port 104 is connected to the downstream voice slave station.

[0031] In addition, the voice slave station also includes: Microphone amplifier module 108: used to receive audio signals input through the microphone.

The sound amplifying circuit module 107 outputs the second audio voltage signal to the loudspeaker.

[0039] The left audio sending module 103 converts the second audio voltage signal into a second audio current signal and sends it to the left port 101 ; the left port 101 sends the second audio current signal to the upstream voice slave station.

[0040] The underground audio broadcasting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention sends the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module when the current voice slave station receives the first audio current signal input by the upstream voice slave station via the left port; converts the first audio current signal into a first audio voltage signal through the left audio receiving module, and sends the first audio voltage signal to the right audio sending module and the sound amplification circuit module respectively; outputs the first audio voltage signal to the loudspeaker through the sound amplification circuit module; converts the first audio voltage signal into a first audio current signal through the right audio sending module, and sends the first audio current signal to the downstream voice slave station. Compared with the traditional voltage transmission method, the current transmission method is less sensitive to electromagnetic interference. In a complex electromagnetic environment such as underground coal mines where there are a large number of electric mechanical equipment, the design of the current loop significantly improves the anti-interference ability of the system, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of audio signals.

[0041] See also Figure 4 When the third audio voltage signal is input through the microphone, the microphone amplification module 108 is controlled by the analog channel switching module to be connected to the left audio sending module 103 and the right audio sending module 106 respectively.

[0043] See also Figure 5 When the fourth audio voltage signal is input through the other audio source input module, the other audio source input module 109 is controlled by the analog channel switching module to be connected to the sound amplification circuit module 107, the left audio sending module 103 and the right audio sending module 106 respectively.

[0044] When the fourth audio voltage signal is input through the other audio source input module 109, the fourth audio voltage signal is sent to the sound amplification circuit module 107, the left audio sending module 103 and the right audio sending module 106 respectively; the fourth audio voltage signal is output to the loudspeaker through the sound amplification circuit module 107; the fourth audio voltage signal is converted into a fourth audio current signal via the left audio sending module 103, and the fourth audio current signal is sent to the upstream voice slave station via the left port 101; the fourth audio voltage signal is converted into a fourth audio current signal via the right audio sending module 106, the fourth audio current signal is sent to the right port 104, and the fourth audio current signal is sent to the downstream voice slave station via the right port 104.

[0045] The underground audio broadcasting device proposed in the embodiment of the present invention may include two audio transmission modes: using two audio transmission lines (voice receiving line and voice transmitting line) to realize two-way full-duplex analog audio communication, or using one audio transmission line (voice transmitting and receiving line) to realize two-way half-duplex analog audio communication, and the quality of the transmitted audio can be effectively guaranteed.

[0046] See also Figure 6 For the adjacent upstream voice slave station and the downstream voice slave station, the left port and the right port connected to each other are connected through the voice receiving line and the voice sending line. In addition, the power management module 110 of the adjacent upstream voice slave station and the power management module 110 of the downstream voice slave station are connected through the positive power line and the common ground line. In the underground audio broadcasting device formed in this way, the adjacent voice slave stations are composed of four lines, namely the positive power line, the common ground line, the voice receiving line and the voice sending line, so that full-duplex audio communication can be realized.

[0047] Since there are both voice receiving lines and voice transmitting lines, it is possible to simultaneously send the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station through the voice transmitting line through the right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station, and receive the second audio current signal sent by the left audio sending module 103 of the downstream voice slave station through the voice receiving line through the right audio receiving module 105 of the upstream voice slave station.

[0048] In this architecture, the process of sending the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transmission line by the right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station is implemented as follows: The right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station includes: a current control circuit, which receives the first audio voltage signal sent by the left audio sending module 103 of the upstream voice slave station, generates a first audio current signal according to the first audio voltage signal, and sends the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transmission line.

[0049] The left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station includes: A sampling circuit receives the first audio current signal for sampling, obtains a sampling voltage, and sends the sampling voltage to a voltage follower amplifier circuit; The voltage follower amplifier circuit performs amplification processing according to the sampled voltage to generate an amplified first audio voltage signal, and sends it to the right audio sending module 106 of the downstream voice slave station.

[0050] In this embodiment, the current control circuit in the right audio transmission module 106 of the upstream voice slave station may include one or more operational amplifiers for converting the received audio voltage signal into a corresponding current signal. The design of this circuit can ensure that the amplitude of the current signal is proportional to the input audio voltage signal, thereby maintaining the fidelity of the audio signal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the current control circuit and the voltage follower amplifier circuit work together to effectively transmit the audio signal from the upstream voice slave station to the downstream voice slave station, thereby improving the efficiency of signal transmission.

[0052] In addition, relatively speaking, the process of receiving the second audio current signal sent by the left audio sending module 103 of the downstream voice slave station through the voice receiving line by the right audio receiving module 105 of the upstream voice slave station specifically includes: The left audio sending module 103 of the downstream voice slave station includes: a current control circuit, which receives a second audio voltage signal sent by the right audio receiving module 105 of the downstream voice slave station, generates a second audio current signal according to the second audio voltage signal, and sends the second audio current signal to the right audio receiving module 105 of the upstream voice slave station via the voice receiving line.

[0053] The right audio receiving module 105 of the upstream voice slave station includes: A sampling circuit receives the second audio current signal for sampling to obtain a sampling voltage, and sends the sampling voltage to a voltage follower amplifier circuit; The voltage follower amplifier circuit performs amplification processing according to the sampled voltage to generate an amplified second audio voltage signal, and sends it to the right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station.

[0054] In another architecture, see Figure 7 For each adjacent upstream voice slave station and downstream voice slave station, the left port and the right port connected to each other are connected through the positive power line, the common ground line, and the voice transceiver line. In the underground audio broadcasting device formed in this way, the adjacent voice slave stations are composed of three lines through the positive power line, the common ground line, and the voice transceiver line, which can realize half-duplex audio communication.

[0055] Since there is only one voice transceiver line connected, this line needs to switch between sending and receiving according to the system status, so only half-duplex audio communication can be achieved, that is, only sending or receiving audio current signals can be performed at the same time, not at the same time. Specifically, it can be achieved that the right audio receiving module 105 of the upstream voice slave station receives the second audio current signal sent by the left audio sending module 103 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transceiver line; or the right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station sends the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transceiver line.

[0056] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram showing that a first audio current signal is sent from the right audio transmitting module 106 of the upstream voice slave station to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transceiver line.

[0057] The right audio sending module 106 of the upstream voice slave station includes: a current control circuit, which receives the first audio voltage signal sent by the left audio sending module 103 of the upstream voice slave station, generates a first audio current signal according to the first audio voltage signal, and sends the first audio current signal to the left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station via the voice transmission line.

[0058] The left audio receiving module 102 of the downstream voice slave station includes: The sampling circuit receives the first audio current signal and samples it to obtain a sampling voltage, and sends the sampling voltage to the voltage comparator and the voltage follower amplifier circuit respectively.

[0059] The voltage comparator generates a control signal according to the sampled voltage to switch the mode of sending the first audio current signal from the upstream voice slave station to the downstream voice slave station or sending the second audio current signal from the downstream voice slave station to the upstream voice slave station. Specifically, the control signal can be sent to the analog channel management module. In the half-duplex audio communication mode, by controlling the mode change of each end: when the left port needs to send the first audio voltage signal, the left receiving module works and the left sending module does not work; correspondingly, when the right port needs to receive the first audio voltage signal, the right receiving module does not work and the right sending module works.

[0060] The voltage follower amplifier circuit performs amplification processing according to the sampled voltage to generate an amplified first audio voltage signal, and sends the amplified first audio voltage signal to the right audio sending module 106 of the downstream voice slave station.

[0061] In summary, the technical effects that can be achieved by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: Improve anti-interference ability: By adopting a current loop to transmit audio signals, the underground audio broadcasting device of the present application can significantly improve the ability to resist electromagnetic interference, ensuring the stable transmission of audio signals in complex electromagnetic environments such as underground coal mines.

[0062] Improve audio transmission quality: The current loop design helps reduce signal attenuation and distortion, thereby improving the quality of audio transmission, making voice clearer and effectively ensuring sound quality.

[0063] Realize two-way audio communication: Each voice slave station in the device is equipped with audio receiving and sending modules, supporting two-way audio communication, so that underground workers can conduct effective two-way communication.

[0064] Simplified system structure: The current loop transmission method is adopted to reduce the need for complex wiring, simplify the system structure, and reduce the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

[0065] Enhanced system reliability: The stability and anti-interference ability of the current loop improves the reliability of the entire audio broadcasting system and reduces the problem of communication interruption or sound quality degradation caused by interference.

[0066] Low power consumption design: Compared with the traditional voltage transmission method, the current loop transmission method can control power consumption more effectively and is suitable for energy-constrained environments such as underground.
