[0002] In the existing field of electromagnetic water meter technology, traditional power supply designs generally rely on a single main battery as the core power source, providing continuous power support for the main water meter's measurement circuitry and data transmission circuitry. As the electromagnetic water meter ages, the main battery's power gradually depletes. When its power level falls below a certain threshold, it enters a low-power state and is no longer able to meet the power requirements for normal operation of the electromagnetic water meter.
[0003] When the main battery runs low, existing electromagnetic water meters often fail to measure properly due to insufficient power supply to the measuring circuit due to the lack of an effective backup power supply switching mechanism.

However, all descriptions should not be used to form any limitations on the present application.
[0038] In addition, for any single technical feature described or implied in the embodiments mentioned in this document, or any single technical feature shown or implied in the drawings, this application still allows for continued arbitrary combination or deletion between these technical features (or their equivalents) without any technical obstacles, and thus it should be considered that these more embodiments according to this application are also within the scope of the description in this document.
[0039] It should also be noted that terms such as "disposed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Unless otherwise specified, those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of an electromagnetic water meter power supply circuit of the present application. The power supply circuit is used to power the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5 and the data remote transmission circuit 4. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a main battery V1, a backup battery V2, a low voltage dropout linear regulator LDO V3, an electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, a first low voltage dropout diode D1, a second low voltage dropout diode D2, a first voltage monitoring subcircuit 3 and a second voltage monitoring subcircuit 1. The main battery V1, the first low voltage dropout diode D1 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU are connected in sequence. The main battery V1 is used to connect the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5 and the data remote transmission circuit 4, and is used to provide the main battery output voltage to the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5, the data remote transmission circuit 4 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU. The backup battery V2, the low voltage dropout linear regulator LDO V3, the second low voltage dropout diode D2 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU are connected in sequence. The backup battery V2 is used to output the backup battery output voltage. The low voltage dropout linear regulator LDO V3 is used to output a stable voltage to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU according to the output voltage of the backup battery. The stable voltage value of the stable voltage is less than the main battery output voltage value of the main battery output voltage. The main battery, the first voltage monitoring sub-circuit 3 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU are connected in sequence. The first voltage monitoring sub-circuit 3 is used to monitor and transmit the main battery output voltage value of the main battery output voltage. The backup battery V2, the second voltage monitoring sub-circuit 1 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU are connected in sequence. The second voltage monitoring sub-circuit 1 is used to monitor and transmit the backup battery output voltage value of the backup battery output voltage. The electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is used to receive the main battery output voltage value and the backup battery output voltage value.
[0041] In this embodiment, the main battery V1 supplies power to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU via the second low-voltage dropout diode D2, and supplies power to the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5 via the first low-voltage dropout diode D1. Since the backup battery V2 is stepped down by the low-voltage dropout linear regulator LDO V3, the regulated voltage output by LDO V3 is lower than the main battery output voltage of the main battery V1. Therefore, when the main battery V1 has normal power supply capacity, the first and second low-voltage dropout diodes D1 and D2 will preferentially conduct due to the unidirectional conductivity of the diodes. Due to the preferential conduction of the first and second low-voltage dropout diodes D1 and D2, the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5 and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU are powered by the main battery V1, the third low-voltage dropout diode D3 is cut off, and the backup battery V2 only supplies power to the LDO V3, which consumes extremely low power and almost no power. Therefore, only when the main battery V1 is low and its output voltage falls below the regulated output voltage of LDOV3 does diode D3 conduct preferentially, allowing the backup battery V2 to power the electromagnetic water meter's control chip MCU. The main battery powers the control chip and measurement circuits via a low-voltage dropout diode, while the backup battery, after being stepped down by LDOV3, powers the control chip. A voltage monitoring subcircuit is also included to monitor the battery voltage. This design ensures stable operation of the electromagnetic water meter when the main battery is operating normally. It also seamlessly switches to the backup battery when the main battery is depleted, ensuring continuous and accurate measurement. The voltage monitoring subcircuit monitors the battery voltage in real time, providing data support for subsequent battery management.
[0042] from Figure 1 As can be seen, the power supply circuit also includes a fourth low-voltage dropout diode D4 and an electronic switch subcircuit 2. The electronic switch subcircuit 2 has a first end, a second end, and a third end. The first end, the anode of the fourth low-voltage dropout diode, the cathode of the fourth low-voltage dropout diode, the cathode of the third low-voltage dropout diode, the anode of the third low-voltage dropout diode, and the main battery V1 are connected in sequence. The second end is connected to the backup battery V2, and the third end is connected to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU. The electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is provided with a first main battery output voltage threshold value. The electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is used to control the opening and closing of the electronic switch subcircuit 2 based on the main battery output voltage value. In addition, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is also provided with a second main battery output voltage threshold value and a backup battery output voltage threshold value. The electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is used to connect to the data remote transmission circuit 4 and is used to send alarm information to the data remote transmission circuit 4 based on the main battery output voltage value and the backup battery output voltage value.
[0043] Specifically, the first voltage monitoring sub-circuit 3 monitors the main battery output voltage value of the main battery output voltage in real time and transmits it to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU. The second voltage monitoring sub-circuit 1 monitors the backup battery output voltage value of the backup battery output voltage in real time and transmits it to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU. The electromagnetic water meter control chip is used to receive the main battery output voltage value and the backup battery output voltage value.
[0044] When the main battery output voltage value output by main battery V1 is higher than the first main battery output voltage value threshold, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU will control the switch in the electronic switch subcircuit 2 to be in the off state, and the backup battery V2 will be unable to power the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5. The electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5 is powered by the main battery V1. When the main battery output voltage value output by main battery V1 is lower than the first main battery output voltage value threshold, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU will control the switch in the electronic switch subcircuit 2 to be in the on state, and the backup battery V2 can power the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5. However, the backup battery V2 only powers the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU and the electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5, thereby conserving energy and ensuring the service life of the backup battery V2.
[0045] When the main battery output voltage value output by the main battery V1 falls below the second main battery output voltage value threshold, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU will send an alarm message to the remote data transmission circuit 4, reminding the user to replace the battery, thereby avoiding measurement interruptions caused by battery depletion. When the backup battery output voltage value output by the backup battery V2 falls below the backup battery output voltage value threshold, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU will send an alarm message to the remote data transmission circuit 4, reminding the user to replace the battery, thereby avoiding measurement interruptions caused by battery depletion.
[0046] In order to prevent the backup battery V2 from being passivated due to long-term non-use or extremely low discharge, the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is set with a frequency parameter. The electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU is used to periodically control the opening and closing of the electronic switch circuit according to the frequency parameter, thereby regularly activating the backup battery V2.
[0047] Figure 2This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the first voltage monitoring subcircuit of the present application. In this embodiment, the first voltage monitoring subcircuit 3 may include a first MOS transistor Q1, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a third resistor R3. The source of the first MOS transistor Q1 is used to connect to the main battery V1, the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1 is used to connect to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the second resistor R2, one end of the first resistor R1 is used to connect to the main battery V1, and the other end is connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1, and the other end is used to connect to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, one end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second resistor R2, and the other end is grounded. The first resistor R1 is used to limit the current passing through the first MOS transistor, and the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are used to divide the voltage for the first voltage detection subcircuit. A in the figure represents the control pin of the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, and B represents the ADC input interface of the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU.
[0048] Specifically, the main battery V1 provides power to the first voltage monitoring sub-circuit 3, and the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU controls the on / off state of Q1 through its control pin. When the MCU control pin has no output signal, the gate voltage of Q1 is pulled high by the pull-up resistor R2, keeping Q1 off. At this time, the MCU's ADC input is in a high-impedance state. When the MCU control pin outputs a high-level signal, Q1 turns on, allowing current to flow from the source to the drain, connecting the MCU's ADC input to ground. This allows the MCU to measure the voltage connected to ground through the ADC input. Resistor R1 is used to limit the current from the main battery V1 to the gate of Q1, protecting Q1. Simultaneously, resistor R3, connected between the MCU's ADC input and ground, acts as a voltage divider and filter, protecting the MCU's ADC input. The MCU's ADC input receives the analog signal from Q1 and converts it into a digital signal for the MCU to process.
[0049] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the second voltage monitoring subcircuit of the present application. The second voltage monitoring subcircuit 1 includes a second MOS transistor Q2, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a sixth resistor R6. The source of the second MOS transistor Q2 is used to connect to the backup battery V2, the gate of the second MOS transistor Q2 is used to connect to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the fifth resistor R5, one end of the fourth resistor R4 is used to connect to the backup battery V2, and the other end is connected to the gate of the second MOS transistor Q2. One end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2, and the other end is used to connect to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU. One end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the fifth resistor R5, and the other end is grounded. The fourth resistor R4 is used to limit the current passing through the second MOS transistor Q2. The fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 are used to divide the voltage for the second voltage detection subcircuit.
[0050] Specifically, backup battery V2 serves as a power source, providing energy to the circuit when appropriate. Q2 acts as a switching element, its gate connected to the MCU's control pin via internal circuitry. When the MCU's control pin outputs a high signal, Q2 turns on, allowing current to flow from backup battery V2 through resistor R5 to the MCU's ADC input. Resistor R5 primarily limits the current flowing to the MCU, protecting the ADC input from excessive current. Resistor R4, connected in parallel between Q2's gate and source, stabilizes the gate voltage, ensuring that Q2 responds correctly to the MCU's control signals and preventing damage from excessive gate voltage. Resistor R6, connected between Q2's drain and ground, provides a discharge path for drain current, ensuring that the drain voltage does not rise excessively when Q2 is off, thereby maintaining circuit stability. When the MCU needs to measure the backup battery V2 voltage, it outputs a high signal through its control pin, turning Q2 on. The backup battery V2 voltage is then transmitted through R5 to the MCU's ADC input for analog-to-digital conversion. The MCU can then read the backup battery V2 voltage. On the contrary, when measurement is not required, the MCU outputs a low-level signal, Q2 is turned off, and the connection between the backup battery V2 and the ADC input is cut off, thereby saving energy and protecting the ADC input.
[0051] Figure 4This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the electronic switch circuit of the present application. In this embodiment, the electronic switch circuit includes a third MOS tube Q3 and a seventh resistor R7. The source of the third MOS tube Q3 is used to connect to the backup battery V2, the gate of the third MOS tube Q3 is used to connect to the electromagnetic water meter control chip MCU, the drain of the third MOS tube Q3 is used to connect to the positive electrode of the fourth low-voltage difference diode D4, one end of the seventh resistor R7 is used to connect to the backup battery V2, and the other end is used to connect to the gate of the third MOS tube Q3. The seventh resistor R7 is used to limit the current passing through the third MOS tube Q3. Specifically, the working principle of the circuit is: the backup battery V2 provides power to the MCU through Q3, and R7 acts as a current-limiting resistor to protect the MCU. The MCU controls its switching state by controlling the gate of Q3, thereby adjusting the circuit power supply.
[0052] The present application also provides an electromagnetic water meter system, which includes the aforementioned power supply circuit, an electromagnetic water meter measurement circuit 5, a data remote transmission circuit 4 for power supply, and an electromagnetic water meter. The electromagnetic water meter system can receive alarm information sent by the data remote transmission circuit 4, thereby reminding staff or users to replace batteries in a timely manner.
[0053] In summary, when the main battery is fully charged, the electromagnetic water meter's measurement circuit and data transmission circuit are both powered by the main battery. If the main battery charge drops, the system automatically switches to backup battery V2 to ensure continuous power to the measurement circuit, maintaining measurement continuity and accuracy. Simultaneously, the MCU monitors the main battery voltage in real time. If it detects a voltage drop, it immediately activates the data transmission circuit and transmits an alarm to the system. Upon receiving the alarm, the system displays a warning indicating that the electromagnetic water meter's main battery may be low, allowing the user to take timely action, such as replacing or recharging the main battery. This prevents the electromagnetic water meter from malfunctioning due to a completely depleted main battery, ensuring the long-term stable operation and accurate measurement of the electromagnetic water meter.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
