[0021] an electret microphone 2, for receiving the sound signal generated by the knocking generator;
[0022] Operational amplifier 5, which is LM358 or TL072, is used to amplify the sound signal received by the electret microphone;
[0023] A power supply, used to supply power to the electret microphone 5 and the operational amplifier 5;
[0024] A circuit network of capacitors and resistors used to filter and bias the sound signal;
[0025] The output plug 8 is used to transmit the amplified sound signal to an external device. Preferably, the output plug 8 is a 3.5mm plug.
[0026] The electret microphone 2 is the core sound sensor, used to collect the sound signal generated by the generator. It converts the sound waves into weak electrical signals, which serve as the starting point of the entire audio processing chain.
[0027] The operational amplifier 5 is used to amplify the weak electrical signal output by the electret microphone to increase the signal strength to be suitable for subsequent processing. It also provides impedance conversion, reducing the output impedance of the signal and facilitating signal transmission.
[0028] The first resistor 1 is used to provide a bias current for the electret microphone 2 to ensure the normal operation of the electret microphone 2 .
[0029] The second resistor 4 is connected between the inverting input terminal 51 of the operational amplifier 5 and the ground, and is used to set the gain and stable working state of the operational amplifier 5 .
[0030] The first capacitor 3 is used to couple the electret microphone 2 and the non-inverting input terminal 52 of the operational amplifier 5 to prevent a direct current from passing through while transmitting an audio signal.
[0031] The second capacitor 7 is used for filtering and signal coupling and is connected between the output terminal 53 of the operational amplifier 5 and the signal output plug 8 to ensure the stability and quality of the signal and prevent the DC component from entering the host computer device.
[0032] The power supply provides the required DC operating voltage to the electret microphone 2 and the operational amplifier 5 to ensure the normal operation of the entire circuit.
[0033] Through the above structure, the device, through improved electroacoustic equipment, can overcome the noise interference in the generator set production environment, thereby significantly improving the signal acquisition capability in high-noise environments. In the generator detection application, the audio signal collected by the electret microphone 2, after noise reduction and amplification in this application, is processed by the host computer and can reflect the internal operating status of the generator in real time. The operator can monitor the sound changes of the generator through the host computer interface, identify abnormal noise or vibration, and take maintenance measures in advance to prevent equipment failure.
[0034] Furthermore, the device further comprises a potentiometer 6 . The output terminal 53 of the operational amplifier 5 is connected to one terminal of the potentiometer 6 , and the other terminal of the potentiometer 6 is connected to the positive electrode of the second capacitor 7 .
[0035] The potentiometer 6 is used to adjust the volume of the output signal of the operational amplifier 5. By changing the resistance value of the potentiometer 6, the amplitude of the output signal can be controlled to meet the requirements of different input devices.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the resistance of the first resistor 1 is 2 kΩ-10 kΩ, the capacitance of the first capacitor 3 is 10 μF, the resistance of the second resistor 4 is 10 kΩ, and the capacitance of the second capacitor 7 is 10 μF.
[0037] The resistance range of the potentiometer 6 is 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ.
[0038] The power source is a 9V battery.
[0039] The present invention further includes a shielded housing within which the electronic components are mounted. This serves to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal acquisition accuracy. The shielded housing is typically made of sheet metal and includes a hole for the electret microphone 2 to receive sound. It also houses a cable connected to the output plug 8.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model:
[0041] After the electret microphone 2 converts the collected sound signals into weak electrical signals, these signals need to be amplified and processed so that a host computer, usually a computer or similar device, can analyze and process them.
[0042] Signal amplification process:
[0043] First, the electrical signal output by electret microphone 2 requires amplification and impedance conversion due to its extremely low voltage and high impedance. This process is accomplished by operational amplifier 5. Operational amplifier 5 amplifies the weak electrical signal to a level suitable for further processing and reduces the signal's output impedance, making it easier to transmit.
[0044] Specifically, the output of electret microphone 2 is connected via capacitor C1 to the non-inverting input (+) of operational amplifier 5. The output signal of operational amplifier 5 passes through potentiometer R3 to control the output volume, is filtered and coupled via another capacitor C2, and is ultimately output to the signal terminal of a 3.5mm jack.
[0045] Signal transmission to the host computer:
[0046] The amplified audio signal is transmitted to the computer's sound card 9 via a 3.5mm jack. Sound card 9 serves as an input device for the host computer, receiving external audio signals. The computer's sound card converts these analog signals into digital signals for further processing and analysis in the software.
[0047] Signal processing of the host computer:
[0048] Once the sound signal enters the host computer, it can be recognized and processed by various audio processing software. The host computer can perform the following main tasks:
[0049] 1. Real-time monitoring and analysis: The host computer can display the waveform, spectrum, and other characteristics of the audio signal in real time, allowing users to monitor and analyze signal quality and content. For example, in a generator inspection scenario, the host computer can monitor whether the equipment is operating normally.
[0050] 2. Filtering and noise reduction: The host computer software can filter the audio signal to remove background noise or unwanted frequency components, thereby enhancing the effective components of the signal. This is especially important for signal acquisition in high-noise environments.
[0051] 3. Signal storage and playback: The host computer can record and store the received audio signals as files for subsequent analysis or playback. This allows analysis and comparison of historical data, helping to identify abnormalities in equipment operation.
[0052] 4. Pattern recognition and fault detection: Using machine learning algorithms or other intelligent analysis tools, the host computer can perform pattern recognition on the collected audio signals and automatically detect possible faults or anomalies. For example, by analyzing the sound patterns inside a generator, potential mechanical failures or abnormal operating conditions can be detected.
[0053] In generator monitoring applications, the audio signal collected by the electret microphone 2, after amplification and processing by the host computer, can reflect the generator's internal operating status in real time. Operators can monitor changes in the generator's sound through the host computer interface, identify abnormal noise or vibration, and take proactive maintenance measures to prevent equipment failure.
