[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the single embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0017] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The utility model provides a device for realizing the sound level meter super large dynamic range measurement, including microphone acquisition unit, relay switch unit, op-amp amplification circuit unit, op-amp attenuation circuit unit, audio ADC unit, processor CPU unit and display unit.

[0018] After environmental noise is converted into electric signal by microphone acquisition unit, is sent to audio ADC unit through op-amp amplification circuit unit or op-amp attenuation circuit unit, is sent to processor CPU unit by converting analog voltage signal into digital signal through analog-digital A / D conversion in audio ADC unit. The processor CPU unit processes digital signal and obtains sound level information. After processing, the result is saved, communicated and sent to display unit for display.

[0019] The operational amplifier amplification circuit unit amplifies weak signals that cannot be recognized by the audio ADC unit. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the operational amplifier amplification circuit unit and the operational amplifier attenuation circuit unit receive control signals of the processor CPU unit to adjust the amplification multiple of the operational amplifier amplification circuit unit and the attenuation multiple of the operational amplifier attenuation circuit unit according to actual requirements.

[0020] The sound signals collected by the microphone collection unit are sent to two channels of the audio ADC unit through the operational amplifier amplification circuit unit and the operational amplifier attenuation circuit unit.

[0021] Specifically, the measurement dynamic range of the sound level meter is 20dBA (10.0uVrms) to 130dBA (3.162Vrms).

[0022] The model of the audio ADC used in the utility model is PCM6480-Q1, and the maximum range input of single-end 5.0Vrms is used; the dynamic range is 110dB, and the minimum resolution is 16uVrms in theory.

[0023] The attenuation multiple of the operational amplifier attenuation circuit is 0.5, that is, the maximum voltage of the single-end output of the microphone is 6.0Vrms, and the amplitude of the signal sent to the audio ADC through the operational amplifier attenuation circuit is 6.0Vrms*0.5=3.0Vrms, which does not exceed the maximum amplitude 5Vrms requirement of the audio ADC.

[0024] When the signal input to the audio ADC is greater than 0.7 times the maximum input amplitude of the ADC (0.7*5.0=3.5Vrms), that is, the audio amplitude input by the microphone is 3.5Vrms / 10=0.35Vrms, the processor CPU controls the relay to disconnect the operational amplifier amplification circuit, and switches to the operational amplifier attenuation circuit.

[0025] When the input signal is less than 0.7 times the maximum input amplitude of the ADC, that is, the amplitude of the input signal sent to the audio ADC through the operational amplifier attenuation circuit is less than 0.175Vrms, the processor CPU controls the relay switch to open the operational amplifier amplification circuit, switches to the operational amplifier amplification circuit, and the operational amplifier attenuation circuit is always in the on state.

[0026] The above process ensures that the sound level meter realizes a measurement dynamic range of 20dBA (10.0uVrms) to 130dBA (3.162Vrms).

[0027] In addition, the above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, wherein the switching switch relay, the audio ADC model PCM6480-Q1, the operational amplifier amplification circuit, the operational amplifier attenuation circuit parameters, etc. can be adjusted, changed and replaced. Therefore, the claimed rights should be covered within the protection scope of the application.

[0028] The above embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present application, but not to limit the present application, and any modification and change made to the present application within the spirit and protection scope of the claims falls within the protection scope of the present application.
