[0035] To further illustrate the features of this application, please refer to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. The drawings are for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The electric heating circuit, including the gas-sensitive element SE1 (model SQ-2), consists of an electric heater between HH and a resistor R1 connected in series between the input voltage VDD terminal and ground. One end of the gas sensor has pins A0 and A1 connected as one unit (or one unit), referred to as the A0A1 terminal. The other end has pins B0 and B1 connected as one unit (or one unit), referred to as the B0B1 terminal. The sensing circuit of the gas-sensitive element SE1 consists of the gas sensor and a resistor R2 connected in series between the input voltage VDD terminal and ground. The connection point B0B1 between the gas sensor and resistor R1 is also connected to the negative input pin of the operational amplifier U2.1. Capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with resistor R2. The threshold preset circuit consists of the positive terminal of potentiometer RW1 (…). The circuit consists of a resistor R3 connected to the input voltage terminal VDD, a capacitor C2 connected to the output terminal of operational amplifier U2.1, a capacitor C2 connected to the output terminal of operational amplifier U2.1 and ground, and a positive power supply pin of operational amplifier U2.1 connected to the input power supply VDD and a negative power supply pin connected to ground. The switching circuit consists of a resistor R7 connected to the trigger terminal of amplifier device Q1, a resistor R4 connected to the input terminal of amplifier device Q1 via the input power supply VDD, and a resistor R6 connected to the output terminal of amplifier device Q1 and ground. The connection between resistor R6 and the output terminal of amplifier Q1 is the power supply output terminal SP_VDD, and the connection between resistor R6 and ground is the power supply output ground terminal. LED2 and resistor R5 are connected in series between the input voltage terminal VDD and the output terminal of operational amplifier U2.1, and capacitor C5 is connected in parallel across LED2. During normal operation, when the negative input terminal potential of operational amplifier U1 is lower than the positive input terminal potential, the power supply output is on, and LED2 is off. When the negative input terminal potential of operational amplifier U2.1 is equal to or higher than the positive input terminal potential, the power supply is off, and LED2 is on. This means that when the concentration of combustible gas causes the negative input terminal potential of operational amplifier U2.1 to be lower than the positive input terminal potential, the power supply output is on. When the input voltage is at a certain level, the operational amplifier U2.1 outputs a high level, and the switching device Q1 is in the open state. When the concentration of combustible gas reaches a level that makes the negative input voltage of operational amplifier U2.1 equal to or higher than the positive input voltage, operational amplifier U2.1 outputs a low level, the amplifying device Q1 is in the non-amplifying state, and the output voltage terminal SP_VDD is close to zero potential. Resistor R6 is connected in parallel with the equivalent total resistance of the controlled power circuit. In this example, the rated voltage value of the power supply output voltage terminal SP_VDD to the output ground terminal is equal to the voltage between the input voltage terminal VDD and the ground terminal minus the voltage drop of the amplifying device Q1. The light-emitting diode LED2 and resistor R5 are connected in series between the input voltage terminal VDD and the output terminal of operational amplifier U2.1.
[0037] The power output terminal SP_VDD and the power output ground terminal are connected to the corresponding power and ground pins of the WIFI chip U3. The serial port pins U0_TXD and U0_RXD of the wireless communication chip U3 are connected to the serial port pins of the control chip U1 to form an IoT communication device, which can communicate wirelessly with other IoT devices through the antenna.
[0038] Alternatively, the cathode of diode D1 can be connected to the serial port pin U0_TXD of wireless communication chip U3, and the anode to the serial port pin RXD of control chip U1. The cathode of diode D2 can be connected to the serial port pin TXD of control chip U1, and the anode to the serial port pin U0_RXD of wireless communication chip U3, thus forming an IoT communication device that can communicate wirelessly with other IoT devices through an antenna.
[0039] Under normal operating conditions, without gas leakage, the aforementioned IoT device receives normal power and can communicate wirelessly with other devices in the IoT. Conversely, when the gas leakage concentration reaches or exceeds the threshold set by the threshold preset circuit, the normal power supply to the wireless communication chip U3 is shut off, and the wireless communication channel of this IoT device is removed.
