[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a vibrating string sensor fault detection system includes a power module 1, a vibrating string sensor body 2, a detection module 3, and an MCU module 4. The power module 1 and the vibrating string sensor body 2 are both connected to the detection module 3, and both the power module 1 and the detection module 3 are connected to the MCU module 4. The power module 1 is used to supply power to the detection module 3 and the MCU module 4. The detection module 3 is used to detect the resistance of the vibrating string sensor body 2 and feed the measured resistance value back to the MCU module 4. The MCU processes the measured resistance value to detect the vibrating string sensor fault.

[0036] In this embodiment, the output end of the vibrating wire sensor body 2 has five core wires: a red wire, a black wire, a green wire, a white wire, and a yellow wire. When the vibrating wire sensor body 2 is operating normally, the reference value of the insulation resistance between the red and black wires is ≤450Ω, the reference value of the insulation resistance between the green and white wires is 1.5KΩ to 30KΩ, the reference value of the insulation resistance between the red and yellow wires is ≥50MΩ, the reference value of the insulation resistance between the green and yellow wires is ≥50MΩ, the reference value of the insulation resistance between the red and white wires is ≥10MΩ, and the reference value of the insulation resistance between the green and black wires is ≥10MΩ.

[0037] In the embodiment, the detection module 3 includes six detection units, each detection unit includes a control end, two detection ends and an output end, wherein each control end and each output end are respectively connected to the MCU module 4; the six detection units are respectively a first detection unit, a second detection unit, a third detection unit, a fourth detection unit, a fifth detection unit and a sixth detection unit; wherein the two detection ends of the first detection unit are respectively connected to the red line and the black line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the red and black lines; the two detection ends of the second detection unit are respectively connected to the green line and the white line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the green and white lines; the two detection ends of the third detection unit are respectively connected to the red line and the yellow line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the red and yellow lines; the two detection ends of the fourth detection unit are respectively connected to the green line and the yellow line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the green and yellow lines; the two detection ends of the fifth detection unit are respectively connected to the red line and the white line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the red and white lines; the two detection ends of the sixth detection unit are respectively connected to the green line and the black line to measure the resistance of the insulation resistance between the green and black lines.

[0038] In the embodiment, the control end MCU module 4 controls each detection unit to enable the fault detection function, and each detection unit also feeds back the detected resistance value to the MCU module 4 through the output end. The MCU module 4 compares the six resistance values ​​obtained with the corresponding reference values. If all are within the reference value range, the vibrating string sensor is working normally; if one of the six resistance values ​​obtained is 0, the vibrating string sensor is short-circuited; if one of the six resistance values ​​obtained is ∞, the vibrating string sensor is open-circuited; if the resistance value measured among the six resistance values ​​obtained is ≤200Ω, the resistance value has decreased due to moisture, and the vibrating string sensor has been damped.

[0039] Furthermore, the circuit structure of each detection unit is the same, such as Figure 2 As shown, each detection unit includes a relay and a voltage follower circuit connected to the relay. The relay model is KAQW212A and has eight pins. Pin 1 of the relay is the control terminal of the detection unit, pins 8 and 6 are the two detection terminals, pin 7 is connected to the voltage follower circuit, pins 2 and 3 are connected, and pins 4 and 5 are both connected to the common ground. The relay is controlled by the MCU module 4 and starts to operate.

[0040] The voltage follower circuit includes an operational amplifier, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a first resistor; the operational amplifier model is, but is not limited to, DIO3581ST5. One end of the first resistor is connected to a reference voltage terminal, the other end of the first resistor and pin 7 of the relay are both connected to pin 1 of the operational amplifier, the first capacitor and the second capacitor are connected in parallel, one end of the connection and pin 5 of the operational amplifier are both connected to the power output terminal, and the other end and pin 2 of the operational amplifier are both connected to a common ground terminal. Pins 3 and 4 of the operational amplifier are connected, and the connected node becomes the output terminal of the detection unit. For example, a detection unit measures the insulation resistance between a red and black wire. Pins 8 and 6 of the relay measure the insulation resistance between the red and black wires, divide the measured resistance value by a first resistor, and convert the resistance value into a voltage value. This resistance value is then converted to a voltage value by an operational amplifier for voltage following. The voltage value is then transmitted to the MCU module 4 via the output terminal of the detection unit. The MCU module 4 performs A / D conversion, converting the voltage value (analog signal) into a digital signal.

[0041] In the embodiment, the MCU module 4 includes a single chip microcomputer, and the model of the single chip microcomputer is an integrated chip of the STM32 series, such as STM32F407VET6.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power module 1 includes a power conversion unit 11 for converting an input power signal into a power supply signal required by the detection module 3 and the MCU module 4. If the voltage range of the input power signal is 3.6-28V, and the voltage of the power supply signal required by the detection module 3 and the MCU module 4 is 3.3, the power conversion unit 11 is configured to process the input power signal.

[0043] The power supply module 1 of the vibrating string sensor fault detection system of the present invention is used to supply power to the detection module 3 and the MCU module 4. The detection module 3 is used to detect the resistance value of the vibrating string sensor body 2 and feed back the measured resistance value to the MCU module 4. The MCU processes the measured resistance value to realize fault detection of the vibrating string sensor. The structure is simple, and there is no need for manual investigation to determine the specific cause of the fault, which simplifies the fault troubleshooting process, significantly improves the reliability and stability of the vibrating string sensor, and ensures the quality and safety of the project.
