Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to signal processing technical field more specifically, relate to a kind of probe signal switching output device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern electronic equipment and measurement system, multi-probe signal acquisition and processing is the key requirement to realize accurate monitoring and analysis. Industrial automation, environmental monitoring, equipment diagnosis and other fields often need to access multiple sensors (such as temperature, pressure, vibration probe) at the same time to obtain multi-dimensional physical quantity data. However, there are the following technical bottlenecks in practical application:

[0003] 1. The diversity of signal type and amplitude: the output signals of different probes may be analog voltage, current or frequency signals, and the amplitude range differs significantly, and traditional devices are difficult to adapt to multiple signal types flexibly;

[0004] 2. Resource waste and high cost: existing solutions usually use fixed connection method, that is, each probe is independently configured with analog-to-digital converter (ADC), resulting in hardware redundancy, especially in scenarios where only single-channel real-time processing is required, the deployment of multiple ADC modules significantly increases cost and power consumption;

[0005] 3. Lack of switching flexibility: some systems realize multi-probe selection through mechanical switch, but noise is easily introduced during switching, and there is no compatible design for analog signal direct-through and digital signal conversion, making it difficult to meet the input requirements of different backend devices;

[0006] Signal integrity problem: when analog and digital signals are not isolated, high-frequency noise can cause signal distortion, affecting measurement accuracy.

[0007] To solve the above problems, although there are MUX and ADC combination solutions in existing technology, there are still the following defects: for example, multi-stage switching increases signal path delay; multiple ADC modules work in parallel, resulting in increased circuit complexity and cost; and simple mechanical switch cannot realize intelligent guidance of signal path (direct-through or conversion). Therefore, a high-integration, cost-controlled signal processing device that supports flexible switching and dual-mode output is needed to solve the problems of selection, adaptation and efficient conversion in multi-probe signal acquisition.

Each component is integrated through a PCB board, and the specific connection relationship is as follows:

[0037] Probe interface (H1): Three sets of side-by-side spring needle connectors are used to connect three external probes (such as temperature, pressure, and vibration sensors). The elastic contact design of the spring needle connector can ensure reliable connection when the probe is inserted.

[0038] Three-to-one analog switch (SW1): Its three input terminals are connected to the analog signal output terminals of the three probe interfaces (H1), and the output terminal is divided into two paths: one path is directly connected to the analog signal output terminal (P5), and the other path is connected to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter (U1).

[0039] Analog-to-digital converter (U1): TI's ADS1110A1DBVR ADC module is selected, and its power supply pin (VDD) is connected to a 5V DC power supply through the power supply port (P2), and the ground pin (GND) is grounded through the ground port (P1).

[0042] Dual output mode:

[0043] Analog signal direct output: When the original analog signal needs to be preserved, SW1 directly conducts the signal of the selected probe to the analog signal output terminal (P5), and at this time the analog-to-digital converter (U1) does not work.

[0044] Digital signal conversion output: When digital signals are needed, SW1 inputs the signal to the analog-to-digital converter (U1), and the converted 16-bit digital signal is output to the external controller (such as PLC or single-chip microcomputer) through P3 (SCL), P4 (SDA).

[0045] 3. PCB layout design

[0048] Power supply and ground optimization: the power supply port (P2) and the ground port (P1) are arranged close to the analog-to-digital converter (U1), the power supply wiring is thickened and a decoupling capacitor is configured to improve conversion stability.

[0049] 4. Workflow
