Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic circuit technology, and in particular to a circuit for solving the frequency multiplication interference of a power meter. Background Technology
[0002] A power meter is an instrument for measuring electrical power. Generally, it refers to a power meter used in DC and low-frequency technologies to measure power; it is also called a wattmeter. A power meter consists of two parts: a power sensor and a power indicator. The power sensor, also called a power meter probe, converts high-frequency electrical signals into directly detectable electrical signals.
[0003] After the power meter is assembled, it needs to be tested. During the functional test, it was found that when the frequency of the input signal and the output frequency of the VCXO are in a multiple relationship, the measured power value will fluctuate and the correct power value cannot be read.
[0004] The current practice is to disassemble the machine and readjust the VCXO voltage so that the output frequency is not a multiple of the input signal frequency. However, when the input signal frequency changes again, it may become a multiple of the adjusted output frequency, requiring readjustment again. This back-and-forth disassembly and reassembly wastes manpower and can damage the machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a circuit for solving frequency multiplication interference in power meters, comprising: a signal source, a frequency multiplication processing board, and a motherboard; the signal source generates two input signals; the frequency multiplication processing board is provided with a first input signal interface, a VCXO input signal interface, a first output signal interface, and an MCU main chip, wherein the first input signal of the signal source is connected to the first input signal interface; the motherboard is provided with an ADC chip, a VCXO crystal oscillator, and a second input signal interface, wherein the second input signal of the signal source is connected to the second input signal interface, the VCXO crystal oscillator generates two output signals, the first output signal of the VCXO crystal oscillator is connected to the VCXO input signal interface, the second output signal of the VCXO crystal oscillator is connected to the ADC chip, and the MCU main chip is used to calculate the frequency multiplication relationship between the first output signal interface and the VCXO input signal interface, and the result calculated by the MCU main chip is used to output voltage through the first output signal interface to control the VCXO crystal oscillator. This utility model relates to a circuit for solving frequency multiplication interference in power meters. Specifically, when the frequency of the input signal and the output frequency of the VCXO have a frequency multiplication relationship, the MCU will output a control voltage to adjust the frequency output of the VCXO so that the frequency of the input signal and the output frequency of the VCXO have no frequency multiplication relationship.
[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the output voltage of the first output signal interface is used to change the output frequency of the VCXO crystal oscillator.
[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the frequency multiplier board is provided with a power interface, which is connected to a power circuit.
[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the power supply circuit includes a voltage regulator U1, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a three-electrode capacitor C3, and a fourth capacitor C4. The input pin of the voltage regulator U1 is connected to a 5V power supply. The first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the input pin of the voltage regulator U1. The first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the input pin of the voltage regulator U1. The output voltage of the voltage regulator U1 is used to power the MCU main chip. The first end of the three-electrode capacitor C3 is connected to the output pin of the voltage regulator U1. The first end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the output pin of the voltage regulator U1.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, an indicator light is connected to the MCU main chip.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, a resistor is provided between the pins of the MCU main chip and the indicator light.
[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the MCU main chip is model ATXMEGA32A4U-MHR.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The circuit described in this invention for solving frequency multiplication interference in power meters only requires inputting both the input signal frequency and the VCXO output frequency into the MCU chip. When the input signal frequency and the VCXO output frequency have a frequency multiplication relationship, the MCU calculates and outputs a Vout voltage to control the VCXO, changing the VCXO output frequency so that the input signal frequency and the VCXO output frequency have no frequency multiplication relationship, thus preventing the power meter's displayed power value from fluctuating.
