Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pyrotechnic initiation control technology, and in particular to a pyrotechnic initiation control device with output status acquisition function. Background Technology

[0002] The reliability of pyrotechnic initiation timing control is crucial for achieving precise aerial separation actions such as load separation. Traditional solutions typically employ cascaded control of physical separation switches and ignition control signals (single I / O port), which suffers from insufficient reliability, particularly prone to erroneous outputs during microcontroller initialization or under external interference. After successful ignition, the load frame separation signal is only output via limit switches, making it impossible to accurately monitor the initiation status and timing of each explosion control point in real time. This hinders telemetry data analysis and load attitude adjustment. Summary of the Invention

The ignition command from the host computer is processed by the detonation control circuit and outputs the ignition control signal through the two I / O ports of the microcontroller. After passing through the trigger and drive circuit, the ignition control signal is sent to the ignition output circuit. At the same time, the load release permission signal and the physical separation signal enable the ignition output. The ignition output is sent to the pyrotechnic device, and the pyrotechnic device is detonated. During the detonation process, the output status isolation acquisition circuit collects the status of the output voltage and reports it periodically.

[0007] According to one aspect of the invention, the power supply circuit includes an isolated power supply section and a non-isolated power supply section; The isolated power supply section includes a DC-DC isolated power supply module, a filter circuit, and a first three-terminal voltage regulator. The isolated power supply section converts the ignition output power of +28V to +5V, and then reduces the +5V voltage to +3.3V through the first three-terminal voltage regulator. The non-isolated power supply section includes a second three-terminal voltage regulator, which directly reduces the ignition output power supply from +28V to +5V.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, the detonation control circuit includes the microcontroller, crystal oscillator, and CAN communication module; The ignition command from the host computer is transmitted to the microcontroller through the CAN communication module.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the output state isolation acquisition circuit includes: an isolation operational amplifier and an operational amplifier; When the ignition power supply is output to the pyrotechnic resistor, the voltage drop across the resistor is divided, sampled by the sampling resistor, and sent to the input of the isolation operational amplifier. The output is a first-stage differential amplifier signal, which is then output to the operational amplifier.

During the detonation process, the output status isolation acquisition circuit 5 collects the status of the output voltage and reports it periodically.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pyrotechnic detonation control device with output status acquisition function of the present invention further includes: a remote software programming and upgrade circuit 6.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the remote software programming and upgrade circuit 6 includes: an RS232 communication module 7, a programming enable circuit 8, and a digital isolator; When the programming enable circuit 8 receives the ISP programming control signal, it sets the BOOT0 pin of the microcontroller to a high level and the BOOT1 pin to a low level through two optocouplers, and then performs remote programming upgrade through the RS232 communication module 7. After the program is remotely programmed and upgraded, the RS232 communication module 7 is isolated from the microcontroller through the digital isolator.

[0021] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the power supply circuit 1 includes an isolated power supply section and a non-isolated power supply section; The isolated power supply section includes a DC-DC isolated power supply module, a filter circuit, and a first three-terminal regulator. The isolated power supply section converts the ignition output power of +28V to +5V, and then the first three-terminal regulator reduces the +5V voltage to +3.3V. The non-isolated power supply section includes a second three-terminal regulator, which directly reduces the ignition output power supply from +28V to +5V.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the detonation control circuit 2 includes a microcontroller 9, a crystal oscillator, and a CAN communication module 10. The ignition command from the host computer is transmitted to the microcontroller 9 via the CAN communication module 10. The microcontroller 9 outputs high and low levels through two ports to control the trigger and drive circuit 3 to output the ignition signal.

[0023] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the triggering and driving circuit 3 includes: a transistor and a D flip-flop; The microcontroller sends high and low levels in sequence to turn on the transistor and outputs a high level to the D flip-flop. When it receives the CLK clock signal, it outputs a high-level ignition signal.

[0024] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ignition output circuit 4 includes: a circuit for controlling the turn-on of the P-type field-effect transistor by an NPN transistor pull-down and a circuit for controlling the turn-on of the P-type field-effect transistor by an optocoupler-isolated pull-down; the two circuits are connected in series.

[0025] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the output state isolation acquisition circuit 5 includes: an isolation operational amplifier and an operational amplifier; When the ignition power supply is output to the pyrotechnic resistor, the voltage drop across the resistor is divided, sampled by the sampling resistor, and sent to the input of the isolation operational amplifier. The output is a first-stage differential amplifier signal, which is then output to the operational amplifier. After a second stage of amplification, it is output to the single-ended output of the microcontroller's AD port.

[0026] According to the above-described scheme of the present invention, the ignition control signal of the pyrotechnic detonation control device with output status acquisition function of the present invention is a dual IO port output control, and the ignition output is enabled by the load delivery signal and the physical separation signal; each group of ignition output circuits is a dual parallel output of MOS transistor circuits.

[0027] This invention supports remote online program upgrades.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely one preferred embodiment of the invention and are only used to explain the invention. They do not limit the scope of protection of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0029] Example 1 Combination Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a pyrotechnic detonation control device with output status acquisition function, including: power supply circuit 1, detonation control circuit 2, triggering and driving circuit 3, ignition output circuit 4, output status isolation acquisition circuit 5, and remote software burning and upgrading circuit 6. Power supply circuit 1 converts the +28V ignition output power into +5V and +3.3V to power the peripheral circuits of the microcontroller in the detonation control circuit 2. The ignition command from the host computer is processed by the detonation control circuit 2 and outputs ignition control signals through the microcontroller's two I / O ports. After passing through the trigger and drive circuit 3, the ignition control signals are sent to the ignition output circuit 4. Simultaneously, the load deployment enable signal and the physical separation signal enable the ignition output, and the ignition output is sent to the pyrotechnic device 11, which detonates. During detonation, the output status isolation acquisition circuit 5 collects the output voltage status and reports it periodically. Remote software programming and upgrade circuit 6 supports remote programming and upgrade programs.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply circuit of this embodiment includes an isolated power supply section and a non-isolated power supply section. The isolated power supply section includes a DC-DC isolated power supply module K3 and related filtering circuits, which converts the +28V ignition output power supply to +5V, and then reduces the +5V voltage to +3.3V through the first three-terminal regulator K5. The non-isolated power supply section includes a second three-terminal regulator U1 and related circuits, which directly reduces the +28V ignition output power supply to +5V.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the host computer sends an ignition command through the CAN communication module T1 in the detonation control circuit to the microcontroller K1 in the detonation control circuit. The microcontroller K1 sends two levels, one high and one low, in sequence for ignition control and receives the AD acquisition signal after ignition output, and reports it to the host computer at a certain period.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the microcontroller K1 sends out two levels, one high and one low, in sequence, which turns on the transistor Q9 in the trigger and drive circuit and outputs a high level to the D flip-flop K2. When it receives the CLK clock signal, it outputs a high-level ignition signal with enhanced driving capability.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the load delivery enable signal controls the transistor Q3 in the ignition output circuit to turn on, pulling down the gate of the P-type field-effect transistor Q1, making Q1 conduct. The ignition power is then applied to the source of the next-stage field-effect transistor Q5. When the ignition signal controls the optocoupler Q7 to turn on, the output of the optocoupler Q7 pulls down the gate of the field-effect transistor Q5 to the physical separation terminal. When the system receives a low-level physical separation signal, the field-effect transistor Q5 turns on, meaning the ignition power is output to the pyrotechnic resistor R162 through the current-limiting resistor R81.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the isolated power supply circuit (isolated power supply section) supplies power to the output side of the isolated operational amplifier K13, and the non-isolated power supply circuit (non-isolated power supply section) supplies power to the acquisition side of the isolated operational amplifier K13. When the ignition power supply is output to the pyrotechnic resistor R162, the voltage drop across R162 is divided and collected by the sampling resistor R104 and sent to the input terminal of the isolated differential operational amplifier K13. After amplification, the differential signal is output from K13 to the differential operational amplifier K10, and then amplified by K10 for a second stage before being output to the AD port of the microcontroller K1. The microcontroller then reports the signal to the host computer periodically.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, when the programming enable circuit receives the ISP programming control signal, it sets the BOOT0 pin of the microcontroller K1 to a high level and the BOOT1 pin to a low level through optocouplers Q26 and Q27, respectively. At this time, the program can be remotely programmed and upgraded through the RS232 bus communication module K8, and an isolator K9 is used to isolate the non-isolated RS232 bus communication module K8 from the microcontroller circuit.

For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
