Description
Technical Field

[0002] In industrial applications, input voltage detection is crucial, playing a vital role in ensuring the safe operation of power systems, the normal functioning of equipment, and energy conservation.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a voltage detection circuit, including a voltage sampling circuit, a voltage amplification circuit, and a voltage-to-current conversion circuit connected in sequence. The voltage sampling circuit is connected to the voltage acquisition point, and the acquired voltage is transmitted to the voltage-to-current conversion circuit through the voltage amplification circuit. The voltage-to-current conversion circuit converts the acquired voltage into current for output.
[0035] By acquiring signals from the voltage acquisition point and amplifying the signal strength through a voltage amplification circuit, and finally converting the voltage signal into a current signal output through a voltage-to-current conversion circuit, accurate measurement of the voltage signal is achieved. This reduces attenuation over long transmission distances, enhances anti-interference capabilities in high-frequency environments, and facilitates compatibility with other current input detection devices.
[0036] The voltage sampling circuit is connected to the input voltage and transmits the voltage signal to the voltage amplification circuit through output points A and B. The voltage amplification circuit includes a first operational amplifier U1, the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to output point A, and the negative-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to output point B.
[0037] Preferably, the voltage-to-current circuit includes an output point M, and a second operational amplifier U2, a first transistor Q1, and a second transistor Q2 are further disposed between the output point M and the voltage amplifier circuit.
[0038] By incorporating a second operational amplifier U2 and a first transistor Q1 and a second transistor Q2, the circuit gains a stronger current driving capability, effectively converting voltage signals into current signals for output, while also increasing the circuit's stability and reliability.
[0039] Specifically, the first transistor Q1 is an NPN transistor, and the second transistor Q2 is a PNP transistor. The non-inverting input of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the output of the first operational amplifier U1. The output of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the bases of both the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2. The emitter of the first transistor Q1 and the collector of the second transistor Q2 are both connected to the input of the output current control resistor R9. The output of the output current control resistor R9 is connected to the output point M.
[0040] Preferably, the output point M is grounded after passing through the output load resistor R10, and the output point M is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 through the third positive input resistor R6. By connecting the output point M to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 via the third positive input resistor R6, and connecting the Vb point to the negative input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 via the output negative input feedback resistor R8, a complete feedback loop is formed, which helps to maintain the stability of the system and improve the output accuracy and response speed. Furthermore, the output load resistor R10 is located at the user end, and the user can convert the current value by acquiring the voltage across R10.
[0041] More specifically, the voltage difference between point M and point Vb = (Vb-Vm) = R3 / R1 Vc, and the output current Io = (Vb-Vm) / R9 = R3(Vb-Vm)Vc / (R1*R9).
[0042] The non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 through the second positive input resistor R5. Furthermore, the negative input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is grounded through the negative input resistor R7, and the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is grounded through the first positive input resistor R4.
[0043] The input design of the second operational amplifier U2 ensures the linearity and gain of signal transmission, and the noise suppression capability and gain adjustment during signal processing are further optimized through the resistor network (second positive input resistor R5 and negative input resistor R7).
[0044] Preferably, the emitter of the first transistor Q1, the collector of the second transistor Q2, and the negative input feedback resistor R8 are connected to one end of the output current control resistor R9 to form a junction point, and a voltage monitoring point Vb is provided between the junction point and the output current control resistor R9.
[0045] More preferably, the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the output point A through the positive input differential resistor R2, the negative input terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is connected to the output point B through the negative input differential resistor R1, and the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 are also connected through the feedback resistor R3.
[0046] The first operational amplifier U1, as a stage-one op-amp, uses a differential amplifier circuit. Typically, the resistor values are set as follows: the negative input differential resistor R1 is equal to the positive input differential resistor R2, and the feedback resistor R3 is equal to the first positive input resistor R4. The amplification factor is equal to the ratio of the feedback resistor R3 to the negative input differential resistor R1.
[0047] After voltage sampling, differential amplification is performed by the first operational amplifier U1. By setting the values of the negative input differential resistor R1, the positive input differential resistor R2, the feedback resistor R3, and the first positive input resistor R4, the output of operational amplifier U1 can be made into a proportional value. The first operational amplifier U1 uses a positive and negative voltage power supply, with the power supply pins connected to Vin+ and Vin- respectively. When the voltage at output point A is greater than the voltage at output point B, the first operational amplifier U1 outputs a positive voltage. At this time, the second operational amplifier U2 controls the first transistor Q1 to conduct, the voltage at voltage monitoring point Vb is greater than the voltage at output point M, and the circuit outputs a positive current. When the voltage at output point B is greater than the voltage at output point A, the first operational amplifier U1 outputs a negative voltage. At this time, the second operational amplifier U2 controls the second transistor Q2 to conduct, the voltage at voltage monitoring point Vb is less than the voltage at output point M, and the circuit outputs a negative current.
[0048] For the resistance values at the second operational amplifier U2, set the second positive input resistor R5 to be equal to the negative input resistor R7, and the third positive input resistor R6 to be equal to the negative input feedback resistor R8.
[0049] Based on the virtual short, we know that the V+ of operational amplifier U2 is equal to V-.
[0050] Further, based on the fact that the virtual shortness is short, we can obtain:
[0051]
[0052] Based on the two formulas above, we can obtain:
[0053] This leads to the method for calculating the output current:
[0054]
[0055] Therefore, it is possible to convert the input voltage signal into a current signal output to avoid signal attenuation. At the same time, positive and negative current can be output at the output point M, thus enabling the detection of both AC and DC voltage.
