[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a long-distance wireless synchronous trigger device proposed by the utility model includes a sending node, including a first STM32 processing module and a first LoRA wireless module bidirectionally connected thereto. The first STM32 processing module is connected to a TTL pulse input processing module, an RS485 processing module and a first single-pole double-throw button de-jitter module, and the first STM32 processing module is bidirectionally connected to the RS485 processing module. The sending node corresponds to a trigger signal by any one of the first single-pole double-throw button de-jitter module, the RS485 processing module or the TTL pulse input processing module. The first is to generate a trigger signal by pressing a button, and the button signal is sent to the first STM32 processing module after being processed by the first single-pole double-throw button de-jitter module. After the first STM32 processing module receives the trigger signal, it controls the first LoRA wireless module to send a wireless trigger instruction data packet. The second is the trigger generation command transmitted from the external 485 bus. The RS485 processing module is bidirectionally connected to a 4-core aviation plug. The external 485 bus is connected through the 4-core aviation plug. The signal is processed by the RS485 processing module and sent to the first STM32 processing module. After the first STM32 processing module receives the trigger signal, it controls the first LoRA wireless module to send a wireless trigger instruction data packet. The third is the trigger signal transmitted from the external TTL bus. The TTL pulse input processing module is connected to the first 2-core aviation plug. The external TTL bus is connected through the first 2-core aviation plug. The signal is processed by the TTL pulse input processing module and sent to the first STM32 processing module. After the first STM32 processing module receives the trigger signal, it controls the first LoRA wireless module to send a wireless trigger instruction data packet.

[0030] Further, the trigger device also includes a receiving node, including a second STM32 processing module and a second LoRA wireless module bidirectionally connected thereto. The second STM32 processing module is connected to a 5V pulse output processing module and a second single-pole double-throw button debounce module. The second LoRA wireless module in the receiving node receives a wireless trigger instruction data packet at the air interface, and transmits the wireless trigger instruction to the second STM32 processing module through the TTL serial port. After the second STM32 processing module receives the instruction, it immediately generates a 3.3VTTL trigger pulse signal, and the 3.3VTTL pulse signal is converted into a 5V pulse signal by a 5V pulse output processing module. The 5V pulse output processing module is connected to a second 2-core aviation plug, and the second 2-core aviation plug is connected to an industrial camera. The above-mentioned 5V trigger pulse signal is output through the second 2-core aviation plug, and the industrial camera connected by the 5V pulse drive is triggered to take pictures. In the receiving node, it is also possible to directly control taking pictures by pressing a button, and the button signal is sent to the second STM32 processing module after being processed by the second single-pole double-throw button debounce module. After receiving the instruction, the second STM32 processing module immediately generates a 3.3V TTL trigger pulse signal. The 3.3V TTL pulse signal is converted into a 5V pulse signal through the 5V pulse output processing module. The 5V trigger pulse signal is output through the second 2-core aviation plug and the connected industrial camera is driven by the 5V pulse to trigger the photo.

[0031] Furthermore, the trigger device includes a first single-pole double-throw button in the sending node and a second single-pole double-throw button de-jitter module in the receiving node, and both are connected with buttons and indicator lights. Two groups of buttons and indicator lights are respectively connected with the first STM32 processing module and the second STM32 processing module, and each group of buttons and indicator lights are also connected with a power management module. The power management modules in the sending node and the receiving node are both bidirectionally connected with batteries, and the power management module is connected with a 220V mains interface. When the 220V mains is connected, the power management module is used to convert the 220V alternating current into 12V direct current, 5V direct current or 3.3V direct current, power the entire system, and charge the 12V lithium battery at the same time. When the 220V mains is not connected, the entire system is powered by the 12V lithium battery.

The debounce circuit uses an RS latch chip IC1, the specific model is CD4043BD, to complete the signal debounce of 2 SPDT buttons. The normally open end BNO and the normally closed end BNC of the SPDT button are respectively connected to the S input and R input of the RS latch, and need to be pulled up to the 5V level through a 4.7K resistor, then the output end Q obtains the button signal BT after debounce. The two debounced key signals BT1 and BT2 are respectively sent to two level shifters IC2 and IC3, whose specific models are SN74LV1 T126DBVR. Under the power supply of 3.3V voltage, the 5V level signal is shifted down to the 3.3V level signal to obtain 3.3V key signals ANN1 and ANN2. These two signals are input to the pins of the STM32 processing chip.

[0033] See also Figure 4 , the circuit diagram of the RS485 processing module includes the RS485 interface protection circuit, the differential signal transceiver circuit supporting the RS485 standard, and the optocoupler isolation circuit. The RS485 interface protection circuit uses a PPTC self-recovery fuse and a TVS diode for protection to complete overvoltage, overcurrent, and surge protection. The specific model of the PPTC self-recovery fuse is JK250-120U, and its maximum voltage Vmax is 250V, the holding current I hold is 120mA, and the tripping current is 240mA. The specific model of the TVS diode is SMBJ12CA, and its rated working voltage VR is 12V, and the breakdown voltage VBR is 13.3V~14.7V. The differential signal transceiver IC4 completes the conversion between the RS485 differential signal end and the serial port single-end signal. The specific model of the differential signal transceiver is SN65LBC184DR. It works in half-duplex communication mode. DE is the communication direction control signal, R is the receiving signal, that is, it is transmitted from the RS485 interface to the STM32 processor, and D is the sending signal, that is, it is transmitted from the STM32 processor to the RS485 interface.

Compared with 3.3V power supply, 5V power supply can provide greater power, thereby increasing the transmission distance. The wireless module E22-400T30S has four working modes, namely general mode (M1=0, M0=0), WOR mode (M1=0, M0=1), configuration mode (M1=1, M0=0), and sleep mode (M1=1, M0=1). The working mode is determined by the level combination of the two pins M1 and M0. The two pins are equipped with pull-up resistors and pull-down resistors in the circuit (only pull-up resistors or pull-down resistors are welded during welding). The E22-400T30S module needs to be configured in the resistance configuration mode of M1=1, M0=0 first, and configured to have a maximum transmission power of 30dBm and a minimum air rate of 2.4kbps to achieve the longest transmission distance. Then adjust the welded resistor to make it work in the general mode (M1=0, M0=0) for normal wireless transceiver communication. E22-400T30S uses TTL level serial port to communicate with STM32 processing module, including TXD signal (sent by wireless module, received by STM32 module) and RXD signal (sent by STM32 module, received by wireless module).
