[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the LORA wireless module uses the A32-S400A22S2A chip. Its first pin is connected to the power supply through an inductor CZ2 and grounded through a capacitor C2. The second pin is grounded. The eleventh and twelfth pins are connected to the thirtieth and thirty-first pins of the STM32 microcontroller, respectively. The thirteenth pin is connected to the twenty-ninth pin of the STM32 microcontroller. The fourteenth pin is connected to the twenty-fifth pin of the STM32 microcontroller. The fifteenth pin is connected to the twenty-sixth pin of the STM32 microcontroller. The sixteenth pin is connected to the twenty-eighth pin of the STM32 microcontroller. The seventeenth pin is connected to the twenty-seventh pin of the STM32 microcontroller. The eighteenth pin is connected to the thirty-third pin of the STM32 microcontroller.
[0024] The power supply module in this embodiment includes a step-down circuit and a voltage regulator circuit. The step-down circuit converts a 24V weak current signal into a 12V voltage signal, and the voltage regulator circuit regulates the 12V voltage signal to a 3.3V voltage signal. Figure 6As shown, the voltage reduction circuit adopts the MC34063 chip, the first pin, the eighth pin and the seventh pin are connected with one end of the resistor Rsc1, the sixth pin is connected with the other end of the resistor Rsc1, the fourth pin is grounded, the third pin is grounded through the capacitor C8, the second pin is connected with one end of the inductor L1, the fifth pin is connected with the resistor R1, the other end of the resistor R1 is connected with the other end of the inductor L1, the second pin is also grounded through the voltage stabilizing tube D2, and the fifth pin is also grounded through the resistor R2. The voltage stabilizing circuit adopts the AMS1117_3.3 chip, the first pin is grounded, the second pin is grounded through the capacitor C3, and the third pin is connected with the other end of the inductor L1.
[0025] The motor driving module in the embodiment can adopt the AS4950 driving chip, the first pin is grounded, the second pin and the third pin are connected with the sixteenth pin and the seventeenth pin of the STM32 single-chip microcomputer respectively, the fourth pin is connected with the power supply through the resistor R12, the fifth pin is grounded through the parallel connection of the capacitor C9 and the capacitor C10, and is also connected with the power supply, the sixth pin and the eighth pin are connected with the motor as output ends, the seventh pin is grounded through the resistor R7, and the ninth pin is grounded.
[0026] In the embodiment, the host machine is responsible for receiving the instructions of the upper computer, and sends the received instructions to the actuator as a slave machine through the LORA wireless module. When the slave machine receives the wireless signal, it is judged through the address bit in the instruction whether the information is sent to the local machine. If yes, the receiving success instruction is sent, and the instruction content is compared with the valve state of the local machine. If the valve state of the local machine is inconsistent, the motor module is driven to rotate the valve to the state set by the instruction. If the instruction is not sent to the local machine, the received instruction is sent out as it is, and at this time the slave machine is used as a signal bridge repeater.
[0027] Suppose that there is one host machine and 10 slave machines in the system of the embodiment, and the machines are numbered from 01 to 10 according to the distance from the host machine. The valve opening degrees of all the slave machines are now 100%. At this time, the upper computer sends the host machine to set the opening degree of the No. 05 slave machine to 50%. After receiving the instruction, the host machine sends the instruction through the LORA wireless module. If the No. 01 machine receives the signal, the instruction is sent as it is through the LORA wireless module of the No. 01 machine, and is sent to other slave machines within the signal effective range of the No. 01 machine as a bridge signal. In this mode, until the No. 05 machine receives the signal, the receiving signal success instruction is sent, and the motor module is driven to operate the actuator to the preset 50% opening degree. Thus, one actuator operation instruction is executed.
[0028] It is not difficult to find that the host is connected with the actuator through the LORA wireless module, and the actuator can be connected as a submachine to bridge the data, thereby greatly increasing the networking range and communication distance, so that the host can adopt the LORA wireless module to distribute the instructions of the upper computer to the corresponding actuator through the signal transmission mode, thereby realizing the control of the actuator. This mode can be completed by only two weak current 24V power lines, thereby saving the cumbersome signal line wiring link of the traditional actuator, and the whole system only needs one host, and the signal connection problem caused by the large-area metal covering in the building interlayer and pipe shaft is solved by the actuator as a submachine, thereby reducing the investment cost.
