Embodiment
[0082] The power metering function is as Figure 4 shown, and is implemented by the U2 chip. Among them, the network L_out is the voltage measurement input, and is divided by the resistors R18, R19, R20, R21, R22 and R23 to the 7th pin of the chip U2 to realize the detection of the power supply voltage. Among them, the high-power alloy resistor R9 is connected in series between the power input and the load. The differential detection pins 3 and 4 of the chip U2 are connected to both ends of the R9 resistor. When the load consumes power, a voltage difference will be generated at both ends of R9, and the load current can be obtained by detecting the voltage at both ends of R9;
[0083] CN1 is the current transformer interface. The zero wire and the live wire of the input power line are passed through the inner ring of the current transformer at the same time. When the line is normal, the currents flowing through the power zero wire and the live wire are just opposite and equal, and the output of the current transformer is zero. The chip differential inputs 5 and 6 detect no voltage difference, and the line is normal. When the device has a leakage phenomenon, the currents flowing through the power zero wire and the live wire are not equal. The chip differential inputs 5 and 6 can detect the voltage difference, indicating that there is a leakage phenomenon in the device or the load, and an alarm signal is output;
[0084] Among them, U1, U3, and U4 are optocouplers, which realize the isolation communication function between the metering chip and the main control MCU. The networks BL_RX and BL_TX are connected to the serial port of the main control MCU and are used to configure the metering chip and data acquisition. The network BL_ZX is the alternating current zero-crossing signal output by the metering chip. An interrupt signal will be generated when the alternating current voltage is zero. The MCU collects this signal mainly for the zero-crossing on-off control of the relay and the detection function of the mains power failure;
[0085] Among them, the U5 chip is a three-axis acceleration sensor. The sensor outputs the data of the X, Y, and Z axes and calculates through integration to obtain three groups of coordinate values of X, Y, and Z. When this device is installed on a load (such as a street lamp), when the street lamp tilts, this device tilts synchronously. The current installation attitude of the street lamp is obtained through the changes in the three groups of coordinate values of X, Y, and Z acquired by the sensor. When it is detected that the tilt angle exceeds a certain value, an alarm signal is output;
[0086] Among them, the output load terminal can be connected to devices such as lamps and household appliances. Through the functions of relays K1, power metering U2, input and output ports, etc., intelligent and remote signal acquisition and control functions for load devices can be realized. Among them, the output from the main control MCU, such as Figure 3 The network PWM signal is converted by the low-side gate driver chip U6 from the original 3.3V PWM to a 12V PWM signal with stronger driving ability and then output externally through CN2, which is suitable for docking with PWM dimming and speed regulation application products. The PWM signal output by the main control MCU passes through the double-stage RC charge and discharge circuit of R39, R40, R41, C15, and C16, converts the original PWM signal into a DC level, and then is amplified by the U8 operational amplifier to a 0 - 10V DC voltage and output externally through CN4, which is suitable for docking with power supply products for 0 - 10V dimming. The serial port of the main control MCU passes through Figure 3 U7 is converted into an external interface suitable for 485 communication, which can be used to expand external input and output devices.
[0087] For electrical appliances with a power supply voltage of AC90V - 260V, the AC mains is divided into two paths after passing through the fuse F1 and the varistor. One path passes through the "π" filter composed of L1, L2, and C10 to supply power to this device and output to the load. Using the "π" filter can effectively reduce the interference information generated during the operation of the load and affect carrier communication. The power supply is input to Figure 1 The input winding of the T2 transformer. The transformer has two output windings. Among them, the winding of pins 4 and 5 is rectified by D5, filtered by CE2 and C29, and then output as 3.3V through the U11 voltage regulator chip to supply power to the U2 metering chip.
[0088] The winding of pins 6 and 7 of the transformer is rectified by the BD1 bridge rectifier and filtered by CE1 and C21 to obtain a DC voltage of about 15V. A 3.3V DC voltage is output through the U9 DCDC conversion chip to supply power to the MCU, 485 chip, and acceleration sensor. In addition, a 12V DC voltage is output through the U10 DCDC conversion chip to supply power to the output chips U6, U8, and relays. The AC mains supplies power to the load through the on-off control of the relay.
[0089] The other path is for power line carrier communication. The carrier signal passes through the mains power line, through the capacitor CX1 and the coupling transformer, and the coupled signal enters Figure 2The input and output ports of the power line carrier communication are connected to the MCU to achieve interactive communication.
[0090] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
