[0008] At present, some of the installed vibrating wire signal acquisition devices are installed indoors, and some management rooms even have WiFi; some are installed outdoors on poles. For some devices installed outdoors on poles, due to the high installation position of the devices, ladders need to be moved during on-site debugging later to view the device interface, which is very inconvenient. Content of the Utility Model

[0009] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a vibrating wire signal acquisition device.

[0010] One technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above problems is: A vibrating wire signal acquisition device, including a vibrating wire sensor, a channel switching module, a signal processing module and a controller, the vibrating wire sensor is electrically connected to the controller through the channel switching module and the signal processing module; further including a StarFlash connection module, the StarFlash connection module is electrically connected to the controller, and is used for communicating with a mobile control terminal to realize receiving instructions or transmitting data.

When the vibrating wire signal acquisition device is installed in a relatively high place such as a field pole and it is inconvenient to directly operate the vibrating wire signal acquisition device, a Bluetooth connection device can be used, and a mobile control terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer can send instructions to debug the vibrating wire signal acquisition device and assist in recalibrating the initial frequency mode of the vibrating wire sensor. Moreover, the concurrent connection number of the StarFlash connection module is much higher than that of Bluetooth, up to 500 times that of Bluetooth, which enables the StarFlash connection module to support the simultaneous connection of more devices; when the vibrating wire signal acquisition device is installed in a place with WIFI, the WIFI function of the StarFlash connection module can be used to connect to the network and transmit data.

[0025] The following makes an explanation of the exemplary embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present utility model to facilitate understanding. It should be considered that they are merely exemplary. For the sake of clarity inside the box, the communication wires and wires inside the box are not drawn. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described here without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below.

[0026] This preferred embodiment is Figure 1 shown as a vibrating wire signal acquisition device, including a power module 1, a controller (control module in the figure) 2, a signal processing module 3, a channel switching module 4, and a vibrating wire sensor 5 that are electrically connected. In addition, it also includes a 485 transceiver module 6 (485 module in the figure), a 4G communication module 7 (4G module in the figure), a star flash connection module 8 (star flash module in the figure), and a Flash module 9 for external communication connection.

[0027] The controller 2 can be a single-chip microcomputer. As Figure 3 shown, the chip U11 of the controller 2 has a model of GD32F450, and this chip is an excellent one with very good stability among domestic 32-bit chips.

[0028] The controller 2 is electrically connected to the signal processing module 3. The signal processing module 3 is divided into an exciting circuit and a vibration pickup circuit as shown in Figure 8 the figure. As shown in Figure 2 the figure, the exciting circuit sends a PWM wave with variable frequency to the chip U12 through the controller 2 to excite the sensor to vibrate. The exciting circuit is used to send out an exciting signal, and the exciting signal excites the vibrating wire sensor 5 connected to this channel through the channel selection module 4. After the vibrating wire sensor 5 connected to this channel generates an oscillation signal, the oscillation signal is transmitted to the vibration pickup circuit. The vibration pickup circuit amplifies the oscillation signal through the chip U7, and then uses the chip U10 to perform shaping processing on the amplified oscillation signal, and feeds it back to the controller 2 to obtain the frequency and device parameters of the vibrating wire sensor 5 connected to this channel. The frequency and device parameters of the vibrating wire sensor 5 are generated in the UART serial port signal format.

[0029] The power supply module 1 as shown in Figure 4 the figure includes overvoltage protection and power conversion functions. The resistor D1 functions to prevent reverse connection, and the device will not be burned out if the positive and negative power supplies are connected reversely. The fuse F1 functions for current protection to prevent the device from being burned out by large current. The chip U3 and resistors R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, capacitor C1, triode Q1, and thyristor Q2 form an overvoltage protection circuit. When the voltage is too high, the thyristor Q2 conducts to absorb the surge voltage. The chip U1 functions for voltage conversion, converting the input voltage into a 5V output. The chip U2 functions for voltage conversion, converting the input voltage into a 3.3V voltage to supply power to the subsequent chips. The light-emitting diode D2 serves as an indicator light, and lighting indicates normal power supply. The resistor R1 functions for current limiting.

[0030] The controller 2 is electrically connected to the 4G communication module 7 and the XingFlash connection module 8 in the form of a UART serial port. The 4G communication module 7 as shown in Figure 7 the figure has a chip EC200. The 4G communication module 7 transmits data with the TX and RX serial ports of the GD32F450 in the form of a serial port, and transmits the collected data to the server. The XingFlash connection module 8 as shown in Figure 5As shown, it is also electrically connected to the controller 2 in the form of a UART serial port. The concurrent connection count supported by XingFlash is much higher than that of Bluetooth, up to 500 times that of Bluetooth, which enables XingFlash to support simultaneous connections of more devices. Security is emphasized in the design, and advanced encryption and protection mechanisms are adopted to ensure the security and privacy of user data. XingFlash technology is divided into two modes: SLE and SLB. The SLE mode is for low-power, low-latency applications such as keyboards, mice, gamepads, and headphones, which are similar to Bluetooth application scenarios but have better performance; while the SLB mode is for high-rate, high-quality data transmission such as tablets, TVs, and speakers, which is similar to the application field of WiFi. Therefore, WiFi can be used for encrypted connection to transmit the collected data without worrying about data leakage; it can also be used for Bluetooth communication with the devices of the debugging personnel to facilitate on-site device debugging.

[0031] The Flash module 9 is a storage module. As Figure 6 shown, its chip uses P25Q40SH, which is electrically connected to the controller 2 through an SPI interface and can store the collected data in the chip. In case the module drops the line, after it resumes online, the stored data in the Flash module 9 can be re-uploaded.

[0032] The 485 transceiver module 6 can convert the UART serial port signal into a 485 differential signal and send the 485 differential signal to the host computer through a wired transmission method. Such a communication method can ensure the stability and security of data transmission.

[0033] Generally, a reservoir will be equipped with several to dozens of vibrating wire sensors 5. Considering reducing the total investment cost and the usage amount of reservoir equipment, a relay switching method is adopted to enable one device to collect data from multiple vibrating wire sensors 5. The channel switching module 4 is as Figure 9 shown. Its chip U6 is electrically connected to the controller 2. By controlling the levels of 8 pins from QA to QH through the A, CLK, and CLR pins, the conduction and closing of the corresponding triodes are then controlled, and then the relay channels are controlled to be attracted or disconnected, so that the sensor signals can be transmitted to the signal processing module 3 through the relay.

[0034] The above specific implementation manners do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
