[0021] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of a portable temperature and humidity monitor circuit in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] Description of the accompanying drawings in the specification: temperature sensor 1, humidity sensor 2, first resistor R1, second resistor R2, microcontroller chip 3, display 4, battery 100. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1As shown, the portable temperature and humidity monitor circuit of the present invention includes several main electrical components: a temperature sensor 1, a humidity sensor 2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a microcontroller chip 3 and a display 4; the temperature sensor 1 is used to sense the ambient temperature; the humidity sensor 2 is used to sense the ambient humidity; the first resistor R1 is connected in series with the temperature sensor 1 to form a first branch; the second resistor R2 is connected in series with the humidity sensor 2 to form a second branch; the microcontroller chip 3 is connected to both ends of the first resistor R1, and the microcontroller chip 3 is used to collect the voltage across the first resistor R1, the microcontroller chip 3 is connected to both ends of the second resistor R2, and the microcontroller chip 3 is used to collect the voltage across the second resistor R2, and the microcontroller chip 3 calculates the temperature value and humidity value of the temperature sensor 1 and the humidity sensor 2; the display 4 communicates with the microcontroller chip 3, and the display 4 is used to display the temperature value and humidity value calculated by the microcontroller chip 3.

[0025] In the above circuit, the first voltage collection point V1 is connected to the battery 100, which provides a +3.7V power supply. The first end of the temperature sensor 1 is connected to the first resistor R1, and the second end of the temperature sensor 1 is connected to GND. The first end of the humidity sensor 2 is connected to the second resistor R2, and the second end of the humidity sensor 2 is connected to GND.

[0026] The temperature sensor 1 is a sensor for sensing temperature and is powered by the above-mentioned +3.7V battery 100. The first resistor R1 is connected in series with the temperature sensor 1. Therefore, the first resistor R1 limits the current and divides the voltage of the temperature sensor 1 to protect the temperature sensor 1 and prevent the temperature sensor 1 from being burned.

[0027] The humidity sensor 2 is a sensor for sensing humidity and is powered by the above-mentioned +3.7V battery 100. The second resistor R2 is connected in series with the humidity sensor 2. Therefore, the second resistor R2 is a current limiter and a voltage divider for the humidity sensor 2 to protect the humidity sensor 2 and prevent the humidity sensor 2 from being burned.

[0028] In the above circuit, the microcontroller chip 3 has three signal input terminals. The three signal input terminals of the microcontroller chip 3 are connected in such a way that the first branch, the second branch, and the first signal input terminal of the microcontroller chip 3 intersect at a first voltage collection point V1. The second signal input terminal of the microcontroller chip 3 intersects with the line between the first resistor R1 and the temperature sensor 1 to form a second voltage collection point V2. The third signal input terminal of the microcontroller chip 3 intersects with the line between the second resistor R2 and the humidity sensor 2 to form a third voltage collection point V3.

[0029] In the above circuit, the microcontroller chip 3 is used to collect the voltage of the first resistor R1 at the first voltage collection point V1 and the second voltage collection point V2, and the microcontroller chip 3 is used to collect the voltage of the second resistor R2 at the first voltage collection point V1 and the third voltage collection point V3.

[0030] The internal resistance of temperature sensor 1 is R NTC , the R NTC =(resistance of the first resistor R1 * voltage value of the second voltage collection point V2) / (voltage value of the first voltage collection point V1 - voltage value of the second voltage collection point V2).

[0031] The internal resistance of humidity sensor 2 is R RNH , the R RNH =(resistance of the second resistor R2*voltage value of the third voltage collection point V3) / (voltage value of the first voltage collection point V1-voltage value of the third voltage collection point V3).

[0032] Through the above circuit structure, the principle of temperature and humidity display is:

[0033] When the circuit is working properly, it is powered by a conventional battery. As the temperature of the surrounding area increases, the internal resistance of the temperature sensor 1 will decrease accordingly; or as the temperature of the surrounding area decreases, the internal resistance of the temperature sensor 1 will increase accordingly. Each temperature of the temperature sensor 1 will correspond to a unique internal resistance value. The microcontroller chip 3 will automatically collect the first voltage collection point V1 and the second voltage collection point V2 at both ends of the first resistor R1, and calculate the internal resistance value of the temperature sensor 1 at this time, that is, R NTC =(resistance of first resistor R1 * voltage value of second voltage collection point V2) / (voltage value of first voltage collection point V1 - voltage value of second voltage collection point V2). Then, according to the temperature internal resistance conversion formula in the specification of temperature sensor 1, the corresponding temperature value is converted using the internal resistance value of temperature sensor 1 at this time. Then, through communication between microcontroller chip 3 and display 4, the current temperature is displayed on display 4.

[0034] When the circuit is working normally, it is powered by a conventional battery. As the temperature around it rises, the internal resistance of the humidity sensor 2 will decrease accordingly, and as the humidity around it rises, its internal resistance will also decrease accordingly; or as the temperature around it drops, its internal resistance will increase accordingly, and as the humidity around it drops, its internal resistance will also increase accordingly. Under each temperature and humidity condition, the humidity sensor 2 will correspond to a unique internal resistance value. The microcontroller chip 3 will automatically collect the first voltage collection point V1 and the third voltage collection point V3 at both ends of the second resistor R2, and calculate the internal resistance value of the humidity sensor 2 at this time, that is, R RNH=(resistance of second resistor R2 * voltage value of third voltage collection point V3) / (voltage value of first voltage collection point V1 - voltage value of third voltage collection point V3). Then, based on the temperature sensed by temperature sensor 1 and the temperature-humidity internal resistance conversion formula in the specification of humidity sensor 2, the corresponding humidity value is converted using the internal resistance value of humidity sensor 2. Then, through communication between microcontroller chip 3 and display 4, the humidity at the time is displayed on display 4. In this way, both the temperature and humidity at the time are displayed on display 4.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
