Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic detection, in particular to a voltage position detection circuit for a central armrest box of an automobile. Background Art

[0002] In the past, the center armrest box wiring harness was inspected after installation using a multimeter and relays to measure the resistance of each component after installation to confirm whether the wiring harness and components were properly connected.

[0003] But it has many disadvantages:

[0004] 1) The continuity test requires the use of a multimeter through relay switching. The multimeter has a slow response and can only complete one test before testing the next one, which will cause the overall test time to be long and have an adverse impact on production.

[0005] 2) The internal resistance values ​​of components in different batches are different, and the resistance value detection method may mistakenly judge qualified products as defective products;

[0006] 3) The switching relay has a limited service life and will fail if used for a long time.

[0007] The above-mentioned detection methods cannot meet the actual needs of production testing, and thus it is difficult to ensure the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model provides a voltage position detection circuit for a central armrest box of an automobile, which can improve detection efficiency and shorten detection time.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a voltage position detection circuit for a central armrest box of an automobile, the key of which is: n monitors U2 are provided, and the monitoring end of each monitor U2 is connected to a voltage detection circuit and a position detection circuit via a switching switch K1;

[0010] The voltage detection circuit is provided with a resistor R1, the front end of the resistor R1 is used to obtain a detection instruction, the rear end of the resistor R1 is connected to the base of an NPN-type transistor Q1, the emitter of the transistor Q1 is connected in series with a resistor R3 and then to ground, the collector is connected to the negative input terminal of the solid-state relay U1, the positive input terminal of the solid-state relay U1 is connected to a 5V power supply, the positive output terminal of the solid-state relay U1 is connected to the positive power supply via a shift combination resistor, the negative output terminal of the solid-state relay U1 is connected in series with a resistor R4 and then to the positive input terminal of the load, the positive input terminal of the load is further connected in series with resistors R5 and R6 in sequence and then to the negative input terminal, and the negative input terminal of the load is connected in series with a resistor R9 and then to ground;

[0011] A common terminal of the resistor R5 and the resistor R6 is connected to a first input terminal of the switch K1 , and an output terminal of the switch K1 is connected to a monitoring terminal of the monitor U2 .

[0012] The voltage detection circuit is a voltage divider measurement circuit that detects components that require voltage division to detect on and off. Resistors R4 and R9 are voltage divider resistors, and resistors R5 and R6 are high-side and low-side voltage detection mode selection resistors.

[0013] Through the above design, the original serial detection method is changed to parallel detection. Adding detection items will not increase the overall detection time, shortening the product detection time by more than half, and improving production efficiency. At the same time, a position sensor detection channel is added, eliminating the need for additional acquisition modules, achieving higher integration and reducing detection costs. The voltage detection circuit and the position detection circuit share the same monitor, reducing the cost of using the monitor.

[0014] Replacing the relay with a less prone to damage solid-state relay increases the equipment's trouble-free operating time. The resettable fuse F1 acts as a current-limiting resistor to prevent unexpected burnout of the device under test during measurement.

[0015] The DIP switch K1 is used to switch between voltage detection and position detection, so that the same monitor can perform both voltage detection and position detection, thereby improving the utilization rate of components and reducing detection costs.

[0016] Preferably, the position detection circuit is provided with a resistor R10 and a resistor R11, the second input end of the switching switch K1 is connected to the front end of the resistor R11, the rear end of the resistor R11 is connected in series with the resistor R10 and then grounded, and the common end of the resistor R10 and the resistor R11 is connected to the position sensor.

[0017] The resistor R11 is a jumper resistor, and the resistor R10 is a current sampling resistor.

[0018] The working principle is to connect the position sensor and resistor R10 in series in a loop. When current flows through the loop, a voltage will be generated on the resistor R10. This voltage is read by the monitoring end of the monitor U2, and the upper processor can read the value through the IIC bus.

[0019] Preferably, the output end of the position sensor is further connected in series with a capacitor C1 and then grounded.

[0020] Preferably, the shift combination resistor is provided with at least two resistors, the rear ends of all the resistors are connected to the positive output end of the solid-state relay, and the front ends of all the resistors are connected to different positive power supplies via the shift switch.

[0021] The first output terminal of the solid-state relay U1 or the independent welding resistor R7 is connected to a 5V power supply, and the first output terminal of the solid-state relay U1 or the independent welding resistor R8 is connected to a 12V power supply.

[0022] Through the above design, different positive power supplies can be switched to power the load according to the different power supply requirements of the load; at the same time, the power supply is switched by independently welding low-cost resistors, so that the same voltage position detection circuit can be connected to different loads for detection, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0023] Preferably, the negative input terminal and the positive input terminal of the solid-state relay U1 are directly reversely connected to a protection diode D1;

[0024] The positive input terminal of the solid-state relay U1 is also connected to the anode of the light-emitting diode LED, and the cathode string R2 of the light-emitting diode LED is connected to the collector of the transistor Q1.

[0025] The light emitting tube LED is a conduction indicator light, which is used to detect whether the positive and negative input terminals of the solid-state relay U1 are conductive and whether the working state is normal.

[0026] Preferably, all the monitors U2 are connected to the same host processor via a bus.

[0027] Preferably, the first data transceiver terminal SDA of the monitor U2 is connected to the first signal transceiver terminal of the host processor, and the second data transceiver terminal SCL of the monitor U2 is connected to the second signal transceiver terminal of the host processor.

[0028] Preferably, the power supply terminal VS of the monitor U2 is connected to a power supply, and the power supply terminal VS is connected in series with a capacitor C2 and then grounded.

[0029] Preferably, the host processor is provided with a detection instruction terminal CTRL connected to the resistor R1.

[0030] The host processor is used to send detection instructions and receive detection data.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the voltage detection of each component is realized by using a parallel detection method, and even if the detection items are increased, the overall detection time will not be increased, which greatly shortens the product detection time and improves production efficiency; at the same time, the position sensor detection channel is increased, and there is no need to add an additional acquisition module, which has a higher integration level and reduces the detection cost.
