[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a DC transmission line pressure difference energy harvesting system, which includes a pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, a voltage stabilizing module 4 and a starting module 6. The input end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is used to connect to the DC transmission line 100, and the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is used to convert the pressure difference of the DC transmission line 100 into the power supply voltage of the monitoring device 300 of the DC transmission line 100; the input end of the voltage stabilizing module 4 is connected to the output end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and the output end of the voltage stabilizing module 4 is used to connect to the monitoring device 300; the input end of the starting module 6 is used to connect to the DC transmission line 100, and the output end of the starting module 6 is connected to the power supply end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and the starting module 6 is used to convert the pressure difference on the DC transmission line 100 into the starting voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2; the starting voltage of the starting module 6 is less than the starting voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2.

[0058] Among them, the pressure difference energy collection module 2 is used to collect the voltage difference on the DC transmission line 100 and convert it into electrical energy to provide the DC voltage required for the monitoring device 300 to work. In the initial stage of the startup of the DC transmission line pressure difference energy collection system, since the pressure difference energy collection module 2 requires a sufficiently large voltage to start, and the pressure difference on the DC transmission line 100 is not enough to start the module, the starting module 6 is required to provide this initial energy, that is, to provide a starting voltage for the pressure difference energy collection module 2 so that it can start working. When providing the DC voltage required for the monitoring device 300 to work, since the energy obtained from the transmission line may have voltage fluctuations, the voltage stabilizing module 4 is used to eliminate the above-mentioned voltage fluctuations, ensure that the voltage output to the monitoring device 300 is constant, and prevent damage to the equipment or unstable operation caused by voltage fluctuations. It should be noted that the starting voltage of the starting module 6 is lower than the starting voltage of the pressure difference energy collection module 2. Its purpose is to ensure that the starting module 6 can work normally based on the low voltage difference of the DC transmission line 100, and ensure the normal startup of the pressure difference energy collection module 2.

[0059] For example, for a DC transmission line 100 with a resistivity of ρ and a length of L, the resistance value R = ρL. According to Ohm's law, when a current I flows through the line, the resulting voltage difference V is V = IρL. Because the resistivity ρ is very small and the length L is not large, the resulting voltage difference V is generally very low. Although the resulting voltage difference V is extremely low, because the current I in the DC transmission line 100 is very large and relatively stable over a short period of time, this ultra-low voltage difference V still contains a certain amount of energy. The pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 collects the ultra-low voltage difference across the DC transmission line 100 in real time and boosts this ultra-low voltage difference to a high voltage with high power. The voltage stabilizing module 4 then converts the high voltage output by the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 into a stable voltage to power electronic loads such as monitoring equipment 300 (e.g., sensors) on the DC transmission line 100. Because the power devices within the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 require high power and a high startup voltage threshold, the supply voltage and power provided to the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 must be sufficiently high to operate these power devices. However, since the value of the ultra-low voltage difference at both ends of the DC transmission line 100 is too low, in the initial stage of startup operation, it is impossible to directly power itself through the pressure difference energy collection module 2 to drive the above-mentioned power devices to work, so as to complete the self-start of the pressure difference energy collection module 2. Based on the above reasons, the ultra-low voltage difference is converted into a sub-high voltage with weak power by using the starting module 6. The sub-high voltage is sufficient to power the pressure difference energy collection module 2 to drive the above-mentioned power devices to work, so that the pressure difference energy collection module 2 can start working and output a high voltage with high power. After the pressure difference energy collection module 2 runs stably, the above-mentioned high voltage can also be used to power the pressure difference energy collection module 2 to drive the above-mentioned power devices to work normally, so that the pressure difference energy collection module 2 can work normally. It should be noted that the power level of the starting module 6 is relatively low, and it is mostly composed of micro-power consumption chips, so that it can self-start under ultra-low voltage difference power supply conditions.

[0060] The DC line voltage differential energy harvesting system, equipped with a startup module, can harvest energy from the DC line itself to self-start the system, thereby providing power to monitoring equipment and reducing reliance on external energy sources. It operates with minimal line voltage differentials and exhibits strong adaptability, providing a stable power supply to monitoring equipment even under voltage fluctuations or line load variations.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the startup module 6 includes a first energy storage filter capacitor 62, a boost circuit 64, an energy storage capacitor C5, and a DC-DC conversion circuit 66. The input end of the first energy storage filter capacitor 62 is used to connect to the DC transmission line 100; the input end of the boost circuit 64 is connected to the output end of the first energy storage filter capacitor 62; the input end of the energy storage capacitor C5 is connected to the output end of the boost circuit 64; the input end of the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 is connected to the output end of the energy storage capacitor C5, and the output end of the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 is connected to the power supply end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first energy storage filter capacitor 62 is connected to any two contact points of the DC transmission line 100, the boost circuit 64 converts the ultra-low voltage across the first energy storage filter capacitor 62 into a sub-high voltage, and the energy of the sub-high voltage is stored in the energy storage capacitor C5. The DC-DC conversion circuit 66 converts the sub-high voltage across the energy storage capacitor C5 into a stable sub-high voltage to power the pressure difference energy collection module 2.

[0063] In this embodiment, the startup module includes an energy storage capacitor, which can store energy of the second highest voltage therein to ensure that the startup voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module is reached when power is subsequently supplied to the pressure difference energy harvesting module.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the power supply end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is also connected to the output end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and the starting module 6 further includes a power supply control circuit 68. A first input end of the power supply control circuit 68 is connected to the output end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and a control end of the power supply control circuit 68 is connected to a controlled end of the DC-DC conversion circuit 66; wherein the power supply control circuit 68 is used to obtain the output voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and control the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 to stop working when the output voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0065] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the boost circuit 64 can be composed of an LTC3108 chip and its peripheral circuits; the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 can be composed of a TX4401 chip and its peripheral circuits; the power supply control circuit 68 can be composed of an APX809-46SAG-7 chip and its peripheral circuits; the preset threshold value can refer to the maximum charging voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5. Since the maximum charging voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 is generally greater than the starting voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, the maximum charging voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 can be directly used as the above-mentioned preset threshold value.

[0066] For example, the maximum charging voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 can be set to V1max through the pins VS1 and VS2 of the LTC3108 chip. In actual operation, the ultra-low voltage across the first energy storage filter capacitor 62 is used to charge the energy storage capacitor C5 through the LTC3108 chip. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 is higher than the threshold voltage Vth of the APX809-46SAG-7 chip, the timing starts, and after a certain delay time T Delay Afterwards, when the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 reaches the maximum charging voltage V1max, the reset pin of the APX809-46SAG-7 chip outputs a high level to enable the DC-DC conversion circuit 66, causing the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 to start working. The energy stored in the energy storage capacitor C5 provides a starting voltage for the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 through the DC-DC conversion circuit 66. However, when it is detected that the output voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is greater than the maximum charging voltage V1max, it means that the output voltage of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 can meet the voltage required to drive the power devices within itself to operate normally. Therefore, the reset pin of the APX809-46SAG-7 chip can output a low level at this time to shut down the DC-DC conversion circuit 66, thereby reducing power consumption and achieving self-power supply through the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 itself.

[0067] The relationship between the threshold voltage Vth, the maximum charging voltage V1max, the capacitance C of the energy storage capacitor C5 and the energy P required to start the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 is:

[0068]

[0069] According to the selection of different chips of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, the energy p required for its startup is determined. Similarly, the threshold voltage of the power supply control circuit 68 is also determined according to the selection of its chip. Therefore, the capacitance of the energy storage capacitor C5 can be selected according to the set maximum charging voltage V1max and the above formula.

[0070] In this embodiment, through the power supply control circuit, when the output voltage of the pressure difference energy collection module is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the DC-DC conversion circuit is controlled to stop working, and the pressure difference energy collection module itself is self-powered to achieve the effect of reducing power consumption.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the second input end of the power supply control circuit 68 is connected to the output end of the energy storage capacitor C5; wherein, the power supply control circuit 68 is also used to obtain the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5, and control the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 to operate when the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0072] For example, as described above, Figure 4 Taking the circuit diagram in FIG as an example, the reset pin of the APX809-46SAG-7 chip will output a high level to enable the DC-DC converter circuit 66 only when the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C5 reaches the maximum charging voltage V1max, so that the DC-DC converter circuit 66 starts to work. th When , the reset pin of the APX809-46SAG-7 chip outputs a low level to turn off the DC-DC conversion circuit 66, and the output voltage of the DC-DC conversion circuit 66 is 0.

[0073] In this embodiment, the DC-DC conversion circuit is controlled to operate only when the voltage of the energy storage capacitor is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, thereby ensuring that the output voltage of the DC-DC conversion circuit is sufficient to start the pressure difference energy module, thereby improving the safety of the DC transmission line pressure difference energy extraction system.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2 includes a second energy storage filter capacitor 22 and a boost module 24. The input end of the second energy storage filter capacitor 22 is used to connect to the DC transmission line 100; the input end of the boost module 24 is connected to the output end of the second energy storage filter capacitor 22, and the output end of the boost module 24 is used to connect to the monitoring device 300. The power supply end of the boost module 24 is connected to the output end of the starting module 6.

[0075] The boost module 24 may be a high-gain boost circuit. Compared with the boost circuit 64 in the startup module 6 , the startup voltage of the boost module 24 is higher.

[0076] For example, a connecting conductor and a connecting wire are used to direct the ultra-low voltage differential generated by a section of DC transmission line 100 to the two ends of a second energy storage filter capacitor 22. The voltage differential on DC transmission line 100 charges the second energy storage filter capacitor 22, causing the second energy storage filter capacitor 22 to obtain an ultra-low voltage. The output end of the second energy storage filter capacitor 22 is connected to the input end of a boost module 24, which converts the ultra-low voltage across the second energy storage filter capacitor 22 into a high voltage.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the power supply end of the boost module 24 may also be connected to the output end of the boost module 24 so that the boost module 24 can supply power to itself.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the boost module 24 includes a power circuit 242 and a drive control circuit 244. The input end of the power circuit 242 is connected to the output end of the second energy storage filter capacitor 22, and the output end of the power circuit 242 is used to connect to the monitoring device 300; the power supply end of the drive control circuit 244 is connected to the output end of the starting module 6, and the control end of the drive control circuit 244 is connected to the controlled end of the power circuit 242.

[0079] Driver control circuit 244 controls the on / off switching of the switches in power circuit 242, enabling power circuit 242 to pump up the input ultra-low voltage to a high voltage. Power circuit 242 can utilize a Boost converter or other high-gain boost converter. Driver control circuit 244 can utilize an MSP430 series ultra-low-power control chip and its peripheral circuits.

[0080] Exemplarily, the drive control circuit 244 is powered by the second-highest voltage output by the startup module 6. In another exemplary embodiment, the drive control circuit 244 may also be powered by the high voltage output by the power circuit 242. When the voltage output by the power circuit 242 is higher than the voltage output by the startup module 6, the drive control circuit 244 is powered by the high voltage output by the power circuit 242; when the voltage output by the power circuit 242 is lower than the voltage output by the startup module 6, the drive control circuit 244 is powered by the second-highest voltage output by the startup module 6.

[0081] In this embodiment, a specific and feasible implementation method is provided for realizing the boost module.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the boost module 24 further includes a diode D. The anode of the diode D is connected to the input end of the power circuit 242 , and the cathode of the diode D is connected to the power supply end of the drive control circuit 244 .

[0083] For example, when the voltage output by the power circuit 242 is higher than the voltage output by the starting module 6, the diode D is passed, and the drive control circuit 244 is powered by the high voltage output by the power circuit 242; when the voltage output by the power circuit 242 is lower than the voltage output by the starting module 6, the diode D is cut off, and the drive control circuit 244 is powered by the second highest voltage output by the starting module 6.

[0084] In this embodiment, the diode, based on its unidirectional conduction characteristics, automatically selects the optimal power source to power the drive control circuit under varying voltage conditions. When the voltage output by the power circuit is higher than the voltage output by the startup module, the diode conducts, allowing the high voltage from the power circuit to power the drive control circuit. Conversely, when the voltage output by the power circuit is lower than the voltage output by the startup module, the diode turns off, preventing reverse current flow. At this point, the drive control circuit is powered by the next-highest voltage provided by the startup module.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the DC transmission line pressure difference energy harvesting system also includes a lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8. The input end of the lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8 is connected to the output end of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2, and the output end of the lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8 is used to connect to the monitoring device 300.

[0086] For example, when the power output by the pressure difference energy collection module 2 is greater than the power required for the monitoring device 300 to operate, the remaining power is stored in the lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8 to store excess energy in the DC transmission line pressure difference energy extraction system; when the power output by the pressure difference energy collection module 2 cannot meet the power required for the monitoring device 300 to operate, the lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8 supplies energy to the monitoring device 300.

[0087] In this embodiment, by providing a lithium battery charge and discharge management module, when the output power of the pressure differential energy collection module exceeds the power required by the monitoring device, the excess energy is stored, avoiding energy waste. If the output power is insufficient to meet the monitoring device's needs, the lithium battery charge and discharge management module can provide the required energy to ensure continuous operation of the monitoring device.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the lithium battery charge and discharge management module 8 includes a charging circuit 82, a lithium battery 84, and a discharging circuit 86. The input of the charging circuit 82 is connected to the output of the pressure difference energy harvesting module 2; the input of the lithium battery 84 is connected to the output of the charging circuit 82; the input of the discharging circuit 86 is connected to the output of the lithium battery 84, and the output of the discharging circuit 86 is connected to the monitoring device 300.

[0089] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the charging circuit 82 can be composed of a TP4056 chip and its peripheral circuits to manage the charging of the lithium battery 84. The discharging circuit 86 can be composed of a PW3130 chip and its peripheral circuits and a TX4401 chip and its peripheral circuits to protect the lithium battery 84 from discharge and convert the voltage of the lithium battery 84 to meet the voltage requirements of the monitoring device 300.

[0090] For example, when the power output by the pressure difference energy collection module 2 is greater than the power required for the monitoring device 300 to operate, the remaining power is stored in the lithium battery 84, that is, the high voltage output by the pressure difference energy collection module 2 charges the lithium battery 84 through the charging circuit 82; when the power output by the pressure difference energy collection module 2 cannot meet the power required for the monitoring device 300 to operate, the lithium battery 84 supplies energy to the monitoring device 300 through the discharge circuit 86.
