Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of marine electronic technology especially relates to a marine fog horn control circuit and marine electronic equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of global shipping industry, the number of ships has increased significantly, and the traffic flow on the sea has also increased. However, the problem of navigation safety that follows is becoming more and more serious, especially in the poor visibility environment under bad weather conditions, the probability of ship collision accidents increases significantly. Ship safety navigation involves multiple key factors, including natural environment, skill level of operating personnel, and reliability of technical equipment, etc. Among them, the development and integrated application of technical equipment plays a crucial role in ship safety guarantee. Very high frequency (VHF) radio communication equipment is an indispensable important tool in ship navigation, in addition to being used for regular radio communication, it also integrates many key functions, such as D-class digital selective calling (DSC), weather alarm receiving, and fog horn function, etc. These functions significantly improve the safety and operation efficiency of ships under complex navigation conditions.

[0003] As an important additional function of VHF equipment, the main role of the fog horn is to remind surrounding ships through sound signals in foggy, night or other poor visibility conditions, so as to ensure a safe distance and avoid collision accidents. Especially when ships meet, enter or exit the port, and pass through busy waterways, the use of fog horn is particularly critical. In addition, modern fog horns also integrate the following additional functions:

[0004] Loud hailer function: crew members can speak through the handheld microphone on the VHF equipment, and the speaking voice is amplified by the equipment and transmitted through the fog horn, which usually has a power of more than 20W, used for efficient communication between ships.

[0005] Listen-back function: the fog horn has a microphone function, which can collect environmental sounds outside the ship and play them into the cabin through the speaker inside the VHF equipment. This function is particularly useful in a closed cabin, which helps crew members to understand the external environment in real time.

[0006] Although the fog horn has various functions and is widely used, its working environment is extremely harsh, usually installed outside the cabin, and needs to face high humidity, salt spray corrosion, extreme temperature changes, and vibration for a long time. Such environment can easily cause equipment aging, function failure or connection abnormality, and in severe cases, it may affect the safety of ship navigation. Therefore, it is particularly important to monitor the working status of the fog horn and its connection status with the VHF equipment in a timely manner.

[0007] At present, there is still lack of systematic and real-time technical solution for monitoring the functional state and connection state of the fog horn. Once the fog horn has functional abnormality or connection failure, the fault position usually needs to be checked by manual inspection, which not only consumes time and effort, but also is difficult to find the problem in time, which may cause the further expansion of the navigation safety hazard. Therefore, how to realize the real-time monitoring of the state of the fog horn through the VHF device, especially when the device connection is abnormal, and quickly locate the source of the problem, has become an urgent need for the development of current ship safety navigation technology.

[0039] The embodiment one provides a marine fog horn control circuit, like Figure 1As shown, comprising:

[0040] An audio power amplifier module 101 for sending an audio signal;

[0041] A relay module 102, comprising a first normally closed terminal B1, a second normally closed terminal B3, a first normally open terminal B2, a second normally open terminal B4, a first common terminal B5 and a second common terminal B6, the first normally open terminal B2 is connected to the first output terminal of the audio power amplifier module 101, the second normally closed terminal B3 is grounded, the second normally open terminal B4 is connected to the second output terminal of the audio power amplifier module 101, the first common terminal B5 is connected to the first input terminal of the fog horn 10, and the second common terminal B6 is connected to the second input terminal of the fog horn 10;

[0042] A relay coil 103 for controlling the switching of the switching state of the relay module 102;

[0043] A first power supply 104 for outputting a first voltage;

[0044] A first voltage dividing module 105, the first end of the first voltage dividing module 105 receives the first voltage output by the first power supply 104, the second end of the first voltage dividing module 105 is grounded, and the third end of the first voltage dividing module 105 is used to output a second voltage after the first voltage is divided;

[0045] A second voltage dividing module 106, the first end of the second voltage dividing module 106 receives the second voltage, the second end of the second voltage dividing module 106 is connected to the first normally closed terminal, and the third end of the second voltage dividing module 106 is used to output a third voltage after the second voltage is divided;

[0046] A switch module 107, the first end of the switch module 107 is connected to the third end of the first voltage dividing module 105, the second end of the switch module 107 is connected to the third end of the second voltage dividing module 106, and the switch module 107 is used to conduct and output a fourth voltage through the third end according to the difference between the second voltage and the third voltage or be in an off state;

[0047] A voltage stabilizing module 108, the first end of the voltage stabilizing module 108 receives the fourth voltage, and the second end of the voltage stabilizing module 108 is used to output a fifth voltage after the fourth voltage is stabilized;

[0048] A control module 109, the output end of the control module 109 is connected to the input end of the relay coil 103, the input end of the control module 109 receives the fifth voltage, the control module 109 is used to control the switching state of the relay module 102 through the relay coil 103, and the connection state of the fog horn is obtained according to the fifth voltage.

[0049] The audio power amplifier module 101 is configured to amplify the input audio signal and output a high-power audio signal to drive the fog horn 10 to produce sound. The audio power amplifier module 101 receives the audio signal from the VHF device, amplifies the power of the audio signal, and then transmits the amplified audio signal to the first normally open terminal B2 and the second normally open terminal B4 of the relay module 102 through the output terminals (the first output terminal and the second output terminal). The relay module 102 switches the switching state of the internal contact according to the control signal to control whether the fog horn 10 receives the audio signal. The initial state of the relay module 102 is that the first normally closed terminal B1 is conductive with the first common terminal B5, and the second normally closed terminal B3 is grounded and conductive with the second common terminal B6. When the relay coil 103 is activated, the relay module 102 switches to the normally open state, the first normally open terminal B2 is conductive with the first common terminal B5, and the second normally open terminal B4 is conductive with the second common terminal B6, so that the signal of the audio power amplifier module 101 is transmitted to the input terminal of the fog horn. The relay coil 103 controls the switching state of the contact of the relay module 102. The relay coil 103 receives the control signal of the control module 109 and determines whether to be activated according to the signal strength, thereby controlling the relay module 102 to switch from the normally closed state to the normally open state. The first power supply 104 provides the initial voltage (the first voltage) required by the system. The first power supply 104 supplies power to the first voltage dividing module 105 to provide power input for the subsequent voltage processing and voltage stabilizing module 108. The first voltage dividing module 105 divides the first voltage and outputs the second voltage to supply the second voltage dividing module 106 and the switch module 107. After receiving the first voltage, the first voltage dividing module 105 generates a lower second voltage through a resistance voltage dividing network and outputs the second voltage from the third terminal to the subsequent circuit. The second voltage dividing module 106 further divides the second voltage to generate a third voltage for realizing the conduction and shutdown of the switch module 107. The second voltage dividing module 106 receives the second voltage from the first voltage dividing module 105, generates the third voltage through a voltage dividing network, and outputs the third voltage from the third terminal for the switch module 107. When the relay module 102 is in different switching states, the voltage distribution changes, thereby affecting the third voltage. The switch module 107 works according to the difference between the second voltage and the third voltage, controls whether to be conductive, and outputs the fourth voltage. According to the difference between the second voltage and the third voltage, if the difference meets the conduction condition, the switch module 107 is conductive and outputs the fourth voltage. If the difference is insufficient to trigger the conduction condition, the switch module 107 is in the shutdown state and does not output the voltage. The voltage stabilizing module 108 stabilizes the fourth voltage output by the switch module 107 to generate a stable fifth voltage. The voltage stabilizing module 108 receives the fourth voltage from the switch module 107, stabilizes the fourth voltage, filters out power fluctuations or noise, ensures that the output fifth voltage is constant, and outputs the fifth voltage for the control module 109 to detect. The control module 109 controls the working state of the relay coil 103, thereby realizing the switching state switching of the relay module 102, and judges the connection state of the fog horn according to the fifth voltage.The control module 109 receives the fifth voltage output by the voltage stabilizing module 108, analyzes the value of the fifth voltage, and determines whether the fog horn is normally connected or has a fault (such as an open circuit or a short circuit). If the fog horn is normally connected, a control signal is output to the relay coil 103 to activate the switch state of the relay module 102, so that the fog horn receives the audio signal and normally works. If an abnormal state (such as a connection interruption) is detected, an alarm signal is promptly sent to the operator or the abnormal state is recorded to ensure that the problem is quickly located and solved.

[0050] The technical effect of the technical solution provided by the embodiment one is that by integrating the audio power amplifier module, the relay module, the first voltage dividing module, the second voltage dividing module, the switch module, the voltage stabilizing module, and the control module, efficient control and real-time monitoring of the fog horn function are realized. The circuit not only ensures that the fog horn receives the audio signal and normally sounds in a normal state, but also can detect the connection state of the fog horn in real time. When a connection abnormality occurs, the problem can be quickly located, and an alarm can be sent to the operator, thereby greatly improving the reliability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment and ensuring the safe navigation of the ship in poor visibility conditions.

[0051] As an implementation manner, as shown in Figure 2 The fog horn control circuit for ships further includes a sound producing module 110, and an input end of the sound producing module 110 is connected to the first normally closed end B1.

[0052] The main function of the sound producing module 110 is to receive the sound signal (electrical signal) collected by the fog horn 10 (when acting as a microphone), convert it into audible sound, and play it out through the loudspeaker thereof. When the fog horn 10 works in the microphone mode (the relay module 102 is in the normally closed state), the sound producing module 110 can restore and play the environmental sound (such as a whistle sound, a shouting sound, etc.) outside the ship cabin to the crew, thereby improving the crew's perception ability of the external environment, which is particularly important in a closed bridge cabin. The sound producing module 110 can also help the crew to monitor whether the microphone function of the fog horn 10 is normal, and determine the equipment state by the quality (such as distortion or no sound) of the played sound. The working process is as follows: when the relay module 102 is in the initial state (the normally closed state), the first input end of the fog horn 10 (working as a microphone) is conductive to the first normally closed end B1 of the relay module 102, and the collected sound signal is transmitted to the input end of the sound producing module 110 through the first normally closed end B1. The fog horn 10 converts the external environmental sound into corresponding electrical signals and transmits them to the sound producing module 110 through the cable. After receiving the electrical signals, the sound producing module 110 processes the signals through the internal circuit (such as a signal amplification and filtering circuit) thereof to ensure that the output sound signal is clear and accurate. The processed signal is converted into audible sound by the loudspeaker of the sound producing module 110 and played, so that the crew can perceive the dynamic sound of the external environment in real time.

[0053] The technical effect of the embodiment is that the sound generating module, through cooperation with the fog horn, not only improves the real-time performance and reliability of safe navigation of the ship, but also enhances the interconnection perception ability of the environment inside and outside the cockpit, and is especially suitable for complex navigation environments (such as foggy days or high-noise areas). This design provides comprehensive environmental feedback for the crew, which helps to make quick navigation decisions

[0054] As an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The marine fog horn control circuit includes a fog horn connection state detection circuit, and the fog horn connection state detection circuit includes a first voltage division module 105, a second voltage division module 106, a switch module 107, and a voltage stabilizing module 108.

[0055] The first voltage division module 105 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first capacitor C1. The first end of the first resistor R1 is the first end of the first voltage division module 105. The second end of the first resistor R1, the first end of the second resistor R2, and the first end of the first capacitor C1 are commonly connected as the third end of the first voltage division module 105. The second end of the second resistor R2 and the second end of the first capacitor C1 are commonly connected as the second end of the first voltage division module 105.

[0056] The second voltage division module 106 includes a seventh resistor R7 and an eighth resistor R8. The first end of the seventh resistor R7 is the first end of the second voltage division module 106. The second end of the seventh resistor R7 and the first end of the eighth resistor R8 are commonly connected as the third end of the second voltage division module 106. The second end of the eighth resistor R8 is the second end of the second voltage division module 106.

[0057] The fog horn connection state detection circuit further includes a third current limiting resistor R3. The first end of the third current limiting resistor R3 is connected to the first normally closed end. The second end of the third current limiting resistor R3 is connected to the second end of the second voltage division module 106.

[0058] The voltage stabilizing module 108 includes a voltage stabilizing tube D1, a sixth resistor R6, and a second capacitor C2. The cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube D1, the first end of the sixth resistor R6, and the first end of the second capacitor C2 are commonly connected as the first end and the second end of the voltage stabilizing module 108. The anode of the voltage stabilizing tube D1, the second end of the sixth resistor R6, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 are commonly connected to the ground.

[0059] The fog horn connection state detection circuit further includes a fourth current limiting resistor R4. The first end of the fourth current limiting resistor R4 is connected to the third end of the switch module 107. The second end of the fourth current limiting resistor R4 is connected to the first end of the voltage stabilizing module 108.

[0060] The switch module 107 is a PNP triode Q1, the emitter of the PNP triode Q1 is the first end of the switch module 107, the base of the PNP triode Q1 is the second end of the switch module 107, and the collector of the PNP triode Q1 is the third end of the switch module 107.

[0061] The marine fog horn control circuit further comprises a diode D2, a second triode Q2 and a fifth resistor R5, the cathode of the diode D2 is connected to the first end of the second power supply E and the first end of the relay coil 103 respectively, the anode of the diode D2 is connected to the collector of the second triode Q2 and the second end of the relay coil 103 respectively, the emitter of the second triode Q2 is grounded, the base of the second triode Q2 is connected to the first end of the fifth resistor R5, and the second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the output end of the control module 109.

[0062] The fog horn has two functions, one is used as a sound playing device, such as playing fog whistle, fog horn and other warning sounds, or used as a caller for shouting outside, and the fog horn itself is only a sound playing device. The second is used as a sound receiving device, that is, similar to the function of a microphone, which is applied in the listening function.

[0063] The switching of the two functions of the fog horn is realized by using a relay module in the internal circuit design of the VHF. When the fog horn is used as a sound receiving device, the relay module is in a normally closed state, that is, the first common end 11 is connected to the first normally closed end 12, the second common end 21 is connected to the second normally closed end 22, the second common end 21 is grounded, and the first power supply VCC passes through the first resistor R1, the PNP triode Q1, the third resistor R3, and then passes through the first common end 11 and the first normally closed end 12 to provide a bias voltage to the other foot of the fog horn L, and the fog horn L is used as a microphone to convert the collected sound signals into electrical signals and transmit them to the listening output. When the fog horn L is used as a sound playing device, the MCU needs to set the signal output by the port SW to high, turn on the second triode Q2, and provide current to the input ends A1 and A2 of the relay coil, and the internal magnetic attraction of the relay module cuts the normally closed end to the normally open end, that is, at this time, the first common end 11 of the relay module is connected to the first normally open end 14, and the second common end 21 is connected to the second normally open end 24. The output of the audio power amplifier module of the VHF is directly connected to the two input ends of the fog horn L, and the electrical signal of the output of the audio power amplifier module is directly converted into a sound signal and played out by the fog horn L.

[0064] The state detection circuit of the marine fog horn provided in the technical solution is applied to the VHF wireless device, and when the fog horn is used as a sound receiving device, the connection state detection circuit is started simultaneously:

[0065] When the fog horn L and the VHF wireless device are connected normally, the first power supply VCC is divided by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to obtain a voltage slightly greater than the voltage supplied to the MCU by about 0.7V. The voltage is applied between the emitter stage and the base of the PNP transistor Q1 through the seventh resistor R7 and the eighth resistor R8. The base stage of the PNP transistor Q1 is connected to the first normally closed end 12 of the relay module through the third resistor R3. At this time, the control signal output from the MCU output end SW is low, that is, the second transistor Q2 is not conductive, the relay coil has no current passing through, the magnetic attraction does not work, and the relay module is in the normally closed state. The first common end 11 and the first normally closed end 12 are connected, the second common end 21 and the second normally closed end 22 are connected, and the fog horn L works in the sound receiving state. At this time, the fog horn L and the VHF wireless device are connected normally, that is, the fog horn L is connected to the first common end 11 and the second common end 21 of the relay module, and the direct current equivalent of the fog horn L itself is a resistor. The impedance of the fog horn L is generally 4 ohms or 8 ohms. Therefore, for the direct current equivalent, the first common end 11 and the second common end 21 of the relay module are connected through a 4 ohm or 8 ohm resistor. At this time, the third resistor R3 is connected to the first normally closed end 12 of the relay module, the normally closed switch is connected to the first common end 11, and then passes through the equivalent impedance 4 ohm or 8 ohm of the fog horn L to the second common end 21 of the relay module. The normally closed switch is connected to the second normally closed end 22 and finally to GND. That is, there is a path from the base stage of the PNP transistor Q1 to the ground, so that the Veb of the first transistor Q1 has a bias voltage, so that the Vec of the PNP transistor Q1 is punched through. Therefore, the voltage after the first power supply VCC is divided by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 will be transmitted to the fourth resistor R4, and the fourth resistor R4 and the zener diode D1 are protected. At this time, the voltage input to the MCU does not exceed the IO port voltage of the MCU, so that the DET input port has a high level input, that is, the DET of the MCU detects a high level. This level represents that the connection state of the fog horn L and the VHF is normal.

[0066] 2. When the fog horn L and the VHF wireless device are connected abnormally, the two ports of the fog horn L are connected to the VHF device. Regardless of whether one of the ports is disconnected or both ports are disconnected, the first common end 11 and the second common end 21 of the relay module are in a disconnected state. That is, the base stage of the PNP transistor Q1 is connected to the first normally closed end 12 of the relay module through the third resistor R3 at this time, which is in a disconnected state and has no path to GND. At this time, the Vcb of the PNP transistor Q1 is 0V, that is, the C stage and the E stage of the PNP transistor Q1 are in a disconnected state. Therefore, the voltage at the DET end is low (L), that is, the DET of the MCU detects a low level. This level represents that the connection state of the fog horn and the VHF is abnormal. At this time, the fog horn L cannot be used as a sound device, the fog horn L stops working, and the function of protecting the audio power amplifier circuit is realized.
