[0002] For mechanical equipment such as bearing assemblies and power equipment that need multi-point temperature monitoring, there are currently three temperature measurement methods, namely, a thermocouple scheme, a single-channel thermistor scheme and a multiplexing scheme. However, the thermocouple scheme has non-linear errors and high electromagnetic interference sensitivity, which leads to insufficient reliability in a strong electromagnetic environment, and the structure characteristics of the thermocouple make its service life shorter than that of a thermistor; the traditional single-channel PT100 thermistor scheme has better linearity, but the resistance of the long wire used will cause large system errors, and the single-channel architecture increases the unit measurement cost and reduces the space utilization; and the multiplexing scheme using analog switches will produce a large theoretical error due to the 1:1 series relationship between the on-resistance and the PT100 reference resistance.

[0019] The present application is directed to the problem that the gating resistance will cause large measurement error when the multi-channel is expanded in the industrial temperature measurement system, and proposes to eliminate the resistance deviation by integrating the double analog switch group in the three-wire differential compensation architecture.

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0021] The present application provides a multi-channel thermistor temperature acquisition circuit based on three-wire differential compensation, as shown in Figure 1As shown, including a voltage source, a reference resistance, a plurality of thermal resistances, two groups of constant current circuits, two groups of analog switches; the positive end of each of the thermal resistances is connected with a group of the constant current circuits and the analog switch, respectively, and the negative end is connected with another group of the constant current circuits, the analog switch and the reference resistance, respectively; the negative end of each of the thermal resistances is also connected with the voltage source, respectively; the two groups of the analog switches are synchronously selected.

[0022] In some embodiments, the plurality of thermal resistances and the two ends of the analog switches form a plurality of temperature acquisition channels.

[0023] In some embodiments, further comprising a microcontroller, the microcontroller is connected with the two groups of analog switches, respectively.

[0024] In some embodiments, further comprising an operational amplifier, the operational amplifier is connected with the microcontroller and the two groups of constant current circuits, respectively.

[0025] In some embodiments, the two groups of analog switches adopt CD4051BM / TR chips, U2 and U3 are used as a group of the analog switches, respectively.

[0026] In some embodiments, the common ports of the CD4051BM / TR chips are connected with the positive end and the negative end of the thermal resistances through S1-S8 terminal connections, respectively.

[0027] In some embodiments, the control ends of the two groups of analog switches share PA1-PA4 GPIO buses, PA1-PA3 realize synchronous switching of channels to compensate for the on-resistance.

[0028] In some embodiments, the constant current circuit converts the power supply voltage VCC = 5V into the reference voltage VREF = 2.5V based on the CJ431 voltage stabilizing chip.

[0029] The multi-channel thermal resistance temperature acquisition circuit based on three-wire differential compensation includes a plurality of temperature acquisition channels, two groups of constant current source circuits, two groups of analog switches, an operational amplifier and an MCU control unit. Two analog switches select the positive and negative leads of the thermal resistance, respectively, and the third lead is directly connected to the power supply port, forming a three-wire structure. By synchronously controlling the on-state of the analog switch, the selected resistance is included in the lead resistance compensation system, and the differential voltage is used to eliminate the on-resistance error. The formula of the compensation mechanism is as follows: ΔV = I×(R_rtd + R_on) - I×(R_ref + R_on) = I×(R_rtd - R_ref), wherein ΔV is the differential voltage, I is the constant current value, R_rtd is the thermal resistance value, R_ref is the reference resistance value, and R_on is the on-resistance value of the analog switch.

[0030] In the field of industrial temperature measurement, existing technologies have significant limitations: thermocouple solutions suffer from nonlinear errors and are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, affecting temperature measurement accuracy. Single-channel RTD solutions exhibit significant measurement deviations due to wire resistance, especially in applications with long wires, potentially exceeding the allowable error range. Multiplexed solutions, by simulating the on-resistance of a switch, introduce excessively large temperature errors, directly leading to the loss of sensor range effectiveness.

[0031] To address this, this application innovatively proposes a three-wire differential compensation architecture. By using a dual analog switch group synchronous selection technology, the on-resistance is incorporated into the compensation system. Based on the differential algorithm of ΔV = I×(R_rtd-R_ref), the mathematical elimination of the selection resistance is achieved. While retaining the advantages of multi-channel real-time acquisition, this effectively solves the core pain points of traditional solutions, such as insufficient accuracy and weak anti-interference.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Example like Figure 1 The multi-channel RTD temperature acquisition circuit shown includes eight three-wire RTD acquisition channels. Each RTD is connected to the VCC power supply and two sets of analog switches. The positive terminal of the RTD is connected to the constant current circuit of the reference terminal via analog switch U3, and the negative terminal is connected to the constant current circuit via analog switch U2. The dual analog switches form a symmetrical loop in the three-wire architecture, and their on-resistance is equivalent to the wire resistance and incorporated into the differential compensation system. The MCU outputs a 3-bit binary code (000-111) through the PA1-PA3 GPIO bus to cyclically select the channel. Under constant current excitation, it generates a sensing voltage U = R×I. This signal is processed by an operational amplifier (OPA) to extract the differential voltage, which is then converted into a temperature value by the microcontroller's ADC module and output via serial port.

[0034] Figure 2Further show the specific connection mode of the dual analog switch: the dual analog switch group is realized by using a CD4051BM / TR chip, U2 and U3 are respectively used as the first and second analog switches, the common ports (Z ends) of the two are connected to the negative and positive ends of the thermal resistance through S1-S8 terminal connections, and the negative end of the thermal resistance is directly connected to a 5V power supply to form a three-wire structure, and the R11 resistor is connected in the path to play a current limiting role. The control ends of the two groups of analog switches share the PA1-PA4 GPIO bus, PA1-PA3 realize synchronous switching of the channel to compensate the on-resistance, and PA4 provides 5V power supply enable control. This topology structure has no specific limitation on the model of the analog switch and the compensation mechanism is universal.

[0035] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The circuit for providing a constant current value is shown, the power supply voltage VCC = 5V is converted into a reference voltage VREF = 2.5V based on a CJ431 voltage stabilizing chip, the reference voltage VREF is driven by a voltage follower U1A to make the field effect transistor Q1 work in the saturation region, and the resistance R9 controls the constant current value of the output to provide an excitation current for the thermal resistance.

[0036] The core of the embodiment is the three-wire differential compensation mechanism and the on-resistance compensation architecture: through the synchronous gating technology of the dual analog switch group (U2 / U3), the gating resistance R_on is converted into a common mode signal. Based on the differential algorithm of ΔV = I x (R_rtd-R_ref), the on-resistance is mathematically eliminated in the formula derivation and is offset in real time to resist the resistance fluctuation and thermal potential drift, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and also ensuring the reliability of the system.
