Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of carrier communication, and in particular to a carrier communication circuit. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the complex structure of the power grid, aging lines, and the lack of unified standards and specifications, power grid lines are prone to generating various electromagnetic interferences and noises while transmitting power signals. These interferences and noises not only affect the stability and security of the power grid but also have a significant impact on the normal operation of carrier communication modules.

[0003] Carrier communication technology is a technology that uses power lines as a communication medium, transmitting information by loading high-frequency signals onto the power lines. In a power system, high-voltage circuits typically refer to circuits with high voltage and high current, while low-voltage circuits refer to circuits with low voltage and low current. A significant potential difference and current variation exist between the two; direct connection between them could lead to equipment damage or personal injury. Therefore, an effective isolation mechanism is needed in carrier communication circuits to safely isolate high-voltage and low-voltage circuits. Utility Model Content

[0007] The high-voltage circuit includes: a high-voltage interface terminal and a high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit. The input terminal of the high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is communicatively connected to the output terminal of the high-voltage interface terminal and the output terminal of the signal transformer, respectively.

The output terminal of the main control system circuit is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the low-voltage interface terminal and the input terminal of the low-voltage carrier signal processing circuit, respectively. The input terminal of the low-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is also communicatively connected to the output terminal of the signal transformer, and the output terminal of the low-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is also communicatively connected to the input terminal of the signal transformer.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, this application employs key components such as optocouplers and signal transformers. During carrier communication, it effectively suppresses interference and noise in the power grid lines. This application achieves electrical isolation between high-voltage and low-voltage circuits through optocouplers. An optocoupler is an electronic component that uses optical signals for transmission. It can transmit electrical signals from one circuit to another without direct contact, effectively reducing the potential threat posed by high voltage and high current in high-voltage circuits to low-voltage circuits and improving system safety. The signal transformer plays a role in signal transmission and transformation in this system. It can amplify or reduce signals in low-voltage circuits to meet the transmission requirements of high-voltage circuits. The signal transformer can also suppress interference signals in the line to a certain extent, improving signal transmission quality. The high-voltage interface terminal serves as the interface with external high-voltage equipment or lines, responsible for introducing external high-voltage signals into the system. The high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is responsible for processing the carrier signal received from the high-voltage interface terminal, including signal amplification, filtering, modulation, and demodulation, ensuring that the carrier signal maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference capability during transmission, thereby improving communication quality. The other end of the high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is communicatively connected to one end of the signal transformer. The signal transformer plays a role in signal transmission and transformation within the carrier communication circuit. Through the signal transformer, the signal output from the high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit can be amplified or reduced to meet the requirements of the external transmission line. The low-voltage interface terminal serves as the interface with external low-voltage equipment or lines, responsible for introducing external low-voltage signals into the circuit. The signal output from the signal transformer, after being processed by the low-voltage carrier signal processing circuit, is input to the main control system for processing and control, achieving intelligent management and control of the entire low-voltage circuit and improving reliability and stability. The low-voltage carrier signal processing circuit is also responsible for processing the carrier signal received from the main control system circuit, realizing bidirectional transmission of the carrier signal.

[0010] Optionally, the high-voltage circuit also includes: a zero-crossing detection circuit, the input of which is connected to the output of the high-voltage interface terminal, and the output of which is communicatively connected to the input of the optocoupler.

[0011] Zero-crossing detection circuits are used to detect the zero-crossing points of the mains voltage, that is, the instant when the voltage changes from positive to negative or vice versa. This is because carrier signals typically need to be transmitted near the zero point of the mains voltage to reduce interference and losses to the grid. Zero-crossing detection circuits can accurately determine the timing of carrier signal transmission, improving communication efficiency and stability.

[0012] Optionally, the low-voltage circuit also includes an LED indicator circuit, the input of which is connected to the output of the main control system circuit.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the LED indicator circuit can display the working status of the low-voltage circuit.

The input terminal of the zero-crossing detection chip is communicatively connected to the output terminal of the high-voltage interface terminal, and the output terminal of the zero-crossing detection chip is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the optocoupler via the first resistor.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a first resistor is connected between the output terminal of the zero-crossing detection chip and the input terminal of the optocoupler, which plays a role in current limiting protection. Since the signal output by the zero-crossing detection chip has a high voltage or current, directly connecting it to the optocoupler will cause damage or performance degradation to the optocoupler. By connecting the first resistor in series, the current flowing through the optocoupler can be limited, protecting the optocoupler and enabling it to work normally.

[0016] Optionally, the high-voltage carrier signal processing circuit includes: a high-voltage carrier signal processing chip, a second resistor, and a third resistor. The input terminal of the high-voltage carrier signal processing chip is communicatively connected to the output terminal of the high-voltage interface terminal. The output terminal of the high-voltage carrier signal processing chip is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the signal transformer through the second resistor. The output terminal of the high-voltage carrier signal processing chip is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the signal transformer through the third resistor.

[0017] By employing the above technical solution, a second resistor and a third resistor are respectively configured between the output terminal of the high-voltage carrier signal processing chip and the input terminal of the signal transformer. This limits the current flowing through the signal transformer, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to excessive current. The resistors, in conjunction with the signal transformer, can suppress high-frequency noise and interference signals to a certain extent, improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The two output terminals of the high-voltage carrier signal processing chip are connected to the two input terminals of the signal transformer via resistors, enabling bidirectional signal transmission.

[0018] Optionally, the main control system circuit includes a main control chip and peripheral circuits. The output of the optocoupler is communicatively connected to the input of the main control chip, and the output of the main control chip is communicatively connected to the input of the LED indicator circuit and the input of the weak current carrier signal processing circuit.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the output of the optocoupler is communicatively connected to the input of the main control chip, achieving electrical isolation between strong and weak currents. This not only protects the main control chip from interference and damage from strong current signals but also improves safety and stability. The output of the main control chip is communicatively connected to the input of the LED indicator circuit, enabling real-time monitoring of the operating status. Through the on / off state of the LED indicator, users can intuitively understand the circuit's operating status, such as power supply status and signal transmission status. The output of the main control chip is also communicatively connected to the input of the weak current carrier signal processing circuit, enabling precise control of the weak current carrier signal. Through the instructions of the main control chip, the weak current carrier signal processing circuit can amplify, filter, demodulate, and perform other processing on the received signal, improving signal quality and stability.

[0020] Optionally, the input terminal of the main control chip can be communicatively connected to the output terminal of the low-voltage interface terminal.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the direct connection between the main control chip and the low-voltage interface terminal helps to reduce signal processing delay, improve circuit response speed, and meet real-time requirements.

[0022] Optionally, the carrier communication circuit further includes a voltage acquisition circuit, one end of which is connected to the power supply circuit, and the other end of which is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the main control system circuit.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, since different electronic devices and systems have different voltage requirements, the presence of the voltage acquisition circuit allows this circuit to flexibly adapt to different power supply voltage inputs, enabling the main control system circuit to operate within a safe voltage range. Through the regulation of the power supply voltage by the voltage acquisition circuit, the required operating voltage can be stably provided to the main control system circuit, helping to reduce circuit failures caused by voltage fluctuations or instability, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the circuit.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
