[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0023] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This utility model provides an isolated signal transmission system based on an optical coupler, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the optocoupler-based isolated signal transmission system includes a first optocoupler signal transmission system (e.g., MOSI) and a second optocoupler signal transmission system (e.g., MISO); the first optocoupler signal transmission system and the second optocoupler signal transmission system are provided with the same number of optocoupler signal transmission circuits; each optocoupler signal transmission circuit is used to transmit 1 bit of data in one signal transmission process.
[0027] There are one or more optocoupler signal transmission circuits; 1 bit of data is a high-level or low-level signal. Each signal can constitute an instruction.
[0028] A high-level signal is represented by a binary 1, and a low-level signal is represented by a binary 0. The optocoupler-based isolated signal transmission system provided in this embodiment includes a first optocoupler signal transmission system and a second optocoupler signal transmission system. Both systems have the same number of optocoupler signal transmission circuits. In a single signal transmission process, each optocoupler signal transmission circuit can transmit 1 bit of data. Thus, the first optocoupler signal transmission system can be deployed on the internal network to output high and low level control signals, while the second system can be deployed on the external network to receive a high or low level signal, achieving signal 0 or 1 transmission. Alternatively, the systems can be deployed in reverse to achieve bidirectional information exchange between the internal and external networks.
[0029] In addition, this utility model embodiment is based on optocouplers (i.e., optocoupler devices) to realize isolated signal transmission, which can realize optocoupler-isolated signal command transmission with complete physical isolation between internal and external networks, effectively solving a series of problems in relay control signal transmission, such as high cost, high power consumption, noise, poor stability and short service life.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first optical coupler signal transmission system and the second optical coupler signal transmission system serve as the control end and the receiving end of the optical coupler-based isolated signal transmission system, respectively; or, the first optical coupler signal transmission system and the second optical coupler signal transmission system serve as the receiving end and the control end of the optical coupler-based isolated signal transmission system, respectively. This enables bidirectional signal transmission between the internal and external networks.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the optocoupler-based isolated signal transmission system includes a set of MOSI and a set of MISO to achieve bidirectional signal transmission between the internal and external networks. Specifically, the MOSI is located on the external network as the control terminal, and the MISO is located on the internal network as the receiving terminal; conversely, the MISO is located on the external network as the receiving terminal and on the internal network as the control terminal. Both the MOSI and MISO groups consist of multiple optocoupler signal transmission circuits, and the specific number of circuits can be set according to system requirements to achieve the transmission of multiple status data.
[0032] In practical implementation, if an 8-bit isolated signal transmission between internal and external networks is required, the first and second optocoupler signal transmission systems can be configured with eight optocoupler signal transmission circuits. These circuits can be combined to transmit 2^8 different signals (commands).
[0033] In some embodiments, the optocoupler signal transmission circuit includes an optocoupler OC1, a control unit Ctrl disposed at the signal input terminal of the optocoupler, and a receiving unit Sign disposed at the signal output terminal of the optocoupler. Optionally, the control unit includes a protection module disposed at a first pin 1 of the optocoupler OC1 and a control signal indication module disposed at a second pin 2 of the optocoupler OC1. The receiving unit is provided with a signal transmission speed control module.
[0034] For example, the protection module consists of a first resistor R1; the control signal indication module includes a second resistor R2 connected in series and a light-emitting diode LED1.
[0035] The signal transmission speed control module is composed of an RC circuit. The RC circuit includes a third resistor R3 located at pin 4 of the optocoupler and a capacitor C1 located between pins 3 and 4 of the optocoupler. Thus, by changing the parameters of the RC circuit at the receiving end, the physical controllability of the transmission speed can be achieved, enabling signal interaction between internal and external networks with limited transmission speed.
[0036] Based on the above embodiments, a specific embodiment is provided, with reference to... Figure 2 As shown, the optocoupler signal transmission circuit includes resistors R1, R2, and R3, as well as a light-emitting diode LED1, an optocoupler OC1, and a capacitor C1. Among these,
[0037] Resistor R1 serves as a protection module for current limiting, protecting the optocoupler's transmitter and preventing damage from overcurrent or overvoltage. Typically, with an input signal voltage of 3.3V, R1 can be selected within the range of 220 to 680 ohms, depending on the drive circuit of the optocoupler's control terminal.
[0038] Resistor R2 and LED1 serve as a control signal indicator module, displaying the current signal transmission status for easy observation. Typically, resistor R2 can be selected from 560 to 2700 ohms, depending on the color of the selected LED.
[0039] The OC1 optocoupler serves as the core component of the isolated signal transmission system, enabling completely physically isolated signal transmission.
[0040] The values of the third resistor R3 and capacitor C1 are used to control the signal transmission speed. Specifically, the RC circuit limits the transmission speed, which can be achieved by changing the parameters of resistor R and capacitor C1. The pull-up speed of the receiving unit's Sign level can be controlled using resistor R3 and capacitor C1. For example, when the capacitor is charging, the more energy it contains, the higher the voltage becomes, and it can only be recognized as a high level after reaching the CMOS high-level threshold. The value of resistor R directly determines the current; a larger current results in faster charging, and a smaller current results in slower charging, thus taking longer to reach the CMOS high-level threshold, thereby controlling the signal transmission speed of the entire system.
[0041] The optocoupler-based isolated signal transmission system provided in the various embodiments of this utility model can realize bidirectional information interaction between internal and external networks, achieving low cost, low power consumption, no noise, high stability, and long service life.
