Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of audio processing, and more specifically, to an audio information acquisition and processing device. Background Art

[0002] An audio information acquisition and processing device is a device specifically used for collecting, processing, and transmitting audio signals. It mainly consists of an acquisition module, a processing module, and an output module. The working process is as follows: the acquisition module collects the sound signals in the environment and converts them into electrical signals, and after the conversion is completed, it transmits them to the processing module; after receiving the electrical signal, the processing module performs processing such as filtering and amplification on it to enhance the sound quality, and after the processing is completed, it outputs the signal to the output module; the output module stably transmits the processed signal to the subsequent playback device. In the prior art, audio information acquisition and processing devices mainly rely on fixed circuits and preset parameters to work. With the increasing richness and complexity of audio application scenarios, traditional audio information acquisition and processing devices gradually expose their limitations.

[0003] In traditional audio information acquisition and processing devices, the fixed signal transmission path and processing module are difficult to flexibly cope with the changing audio environment, such as clear sound pickup in a strong noise background, effective capture of distant sounds, etc., resulting in the difficulty of ensuring audio quality under specific conditions; moreover, the non-adjustability of preset parameters limits the device's deep processing ability of audio signals and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs, thus unable to meet users' pursuit of high-quality and diverse audio experiences. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve the deficiencies of traditional audio information acquisition and processing devices in terms of flexibility and adaptability to improve audio signal quality and meet diverse audio application requirements.

[0048] It should be noted that the difference between the first channel and the second channel is that the first channel can filter and amplify the audio signal output by the primary processing module again; the second channel can directly transmit the audio signal output by the primary processing module to the subsequent circuit.

[0049] Specifically, one end of resistor R10 is connected to one end of inductor L1, and the CH_IN1 input terminal is set here.

[0052] The audio signal collected by the acquisition module is transmitted from the CH_IN input terminal to the primary processing module. The primary processing module filters and amplifies the signal. After completion, the initially amplified signal is output from the T_OUT output terminal to the D_IN2 input terminal in the judgment and control module;

[0053] The D_IN2 input terminal receives the initially amplified analog signal. The peak detection circuit converts the analog signal into a stable DC voltage, and this DC voltage value is stabilized near the peak value of the analog signal. After the processing is completed, it is transmitted to the comparison circuit;

[0054] The comparison circuit determines whether the DC voltage value is within the set range;

[0055] If it is determined that the DC voltage is within the reference range, D_OUT outputs a low level. At this time, the first switching element Q3 is cut off and the second switching element Q4 is turned on, that is, the first channel is opened and the second channel is closed. The audio signal output by the primary processing module is filtered and amplified again when passing through the secondary processing module. After completion, the audio signal after secondary amplification is transmitted from the CH_OUT output terminal to the output module;

[0056] If it is determined that the DC voltage is not within the reference range, D_OUT outputs a high level. At this time, the first switching element Q3 is turned on and the second switching element Q4 is cut off, that is, the first channel is closed and the second channel is opened. The audio signal output by the primary processing module is directly transmitted from the CH_OUT output terminal to the output module through the secondary processing module;

[0057] It should be noted that the processing module further includes an analog-to-digital converter and a digital signal processor. The secondary processing module is sequentially connected to the analog-to-digital converter, the digital signal processor, and the audio-video codec; the analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the analog audio signal transmitted by the secondary processing module into a digital signal; the digital signal processor is used to further process the received digital signal, and the processing methods include but are not limited to echo cancellation, noise suppression, and equalizer adjustment. The analog-to-digital converter and the digital signal processor belong to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] It should be noted that the main control chip model is STM32F103C8T6.

[0059] This judgment and control module can monitor the quality of the primary audio signal in real time and flexibly control the switching of the signal path in the secondary processing module according to the evaluation result, ensuring that the audio signal can quickly adapt to changes, avoiding quality degradation or distortion, and thus maintaining the stability of the entire audio processing device.

[0060] So far, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the concept of the present invention, some details well known in the art have not been described.
