Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of field data acquisition technology, specifically to an online temperature self-compensation circuit for a force measuring transmitter. Background Technology

[0002] Existing temperature compensation circuits for force transmitters generally rely on the physical adjustment structure of analog potentiometers. The temperature drift characteristics of these potentiometers easily introduce additional errors, leading to long-term stability degradation of the sensor signal conditioning circuit. Traditional circuits employ a single-channel excitation and static compensation design, requiring repeated adjustments of bridge parameters over a wide temperature range. The calibration process relies on manual intervention and lacks dynamic response, making it difficult to cope with nonlinear interference from transient temperature changes in industrial environments. Especially in high-precision scenarios, the cross-coupling between strain gauge resistance drift caused by temperature gradients and the transmitter signal path in existing circuits results in decreased compensation accuracy and calibration efficiency. Although attempts have been made to improve temperature drift through redundant circuits or complex hardware configurations, the fixed compensation coefficient and the hysteresis of the analog calibration loop limit the ability of existing circuits to achieve real-time self-compensation and rapid calibration coordination in dynamic temperature fields.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] To address the issues of insufficient temperature drift suppression caused by the hysteresis of fixed compensation parameters in dynamic temperature fields and the low efficiency of manual calibration, this embodiment further optimizes the collaborative mechanism of dual-channel constant current source excitation, synchronous signal acquisition, and dynamic weighted compensation. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the steps of the online temperature self-compensation calibration method for force transmitters are as follows:

[0039] S100: The working strain gauge and the temperature compensation gauge are synchronously excited by dual precision constant current sources. The working strain gauge and the temperature compensation gauge have the same material parameters and are in the same temperature field. The output current values ​​of the dual constant current sources are equal and are controlled by a high-precision reference voltage source and sampling resistor in a closed loop.

[0040] S200: Synchronously acquire the differential voltage signal of the working strain gauge and the differential voltage signal of the temperature compensation gauge, and perform synchronous analog-to-digital conversion through the 24-bit ADC integrated in the embedded MCU and the 24-bit ADC of the external signal conditioning chip, respectively, to obtain the first conversion result AD_Result_work and the second conversion result AD_Result_temp.

[0041] S300: Based on the second conversion result AD_Result_temp, the first conversion result AD_Result_work is subjected to real-time temperature compensation through a dynamic weighting algorithm to generate the compensated output value AD_Compensated. The dynamic weighting algorithm adjusts the temperature influence coefficient according to the gradient change of the second conversion result AD_Result_temp.

[0042] S400: Controls the target voltage output of the 16-bit DAC to the V / V conversion circuit and V / I conversion circuit through the embedded MCU, generating isolated voltage and current transmission signals.

[0043] S500: In response to zero-point calibration or full-scale calibration commands, the voltage or current transmission signal is fed back to the ADC inside the MCU in real time for sampling, and the DAC output value is dynamically adjusted through an incremental PID algorithm until the error between the feedback signal and the preset target value is less than 0.02%FS, thus completing the online calibration.

[0044] Specifically, a dual constant current source circuit driven by a high-precision reference voltage source ADR4340 is adopted. Its output currents I1+ and I2+ are stabilized within an accuracy range of 5.000mA ± 0.02% through closed-loop feedback control. The core of the constant current source consists of a low-noise operational amplifier OPA2188 and a precision sampling resistor RS2 (resistance value 500Ω ± 0.01%). By real-time monitoring of the voltage drop across the sampling resistor and differential comparison with the 2.500V reference output from the ADR4340, the driving voltage of the operational amplifier is dynamically adjusted to ensure the long-term stability of the constant current source. The working strain gauge and temperature compensation gauge are both KFG-5-350-C1-23 type strain gauges from the same batch, with a temperature coefficient of ±3ppm / ℃. An epoxy resin encapsulation process ensures that both are on the same heat conduction path, thereby eliminating compensation errors introduced by uneven temperature field distribution.

[0045] Furthermore, the embedded MCU uses the ADuCM360 with a built-in 24-bit Σ-Δ ADC. Its differential input channels AIN0-AIN1 synchronously acquire the differential voltage signal (Vp-Vn) of the working strain gauge at a rate of 2400 samples per second. Simultaneously, it controls the ADC channel of the external signal conditioning chip NSA2860 via the SPI bus to acquire the differential voltage signal (Vt±Vt-) of the temperature compensation chip at the same rate. To achieve strict synchronous acquisition, the ADC start signal of the ADuCM360 and the CONVST pin of the NSA2860 are linked by a hardware trigger signal to ensure that the sampling time deviation between the two ADCs is less than 1μs. The acquired first conversion result AD_Result_work and second conversion result AD_Result_temp are stored in a circular buffer and compensated in real time using a dynamic weighting algorithm. It is important to understand that the dynamic weighting algorithm is not a simple static subtraction of the two signals, but rather an adaptive adjustment of the weight of the temperature sensitivity matching coefficient α based on the gradient change (ΔT / Δt) of AD_Result_temp. For example, when the temperature change rate ΔT / Δt ≥ 0.5℃ / s, the algorithm increases α from the calibrated value of 0.98 to 1.05 to compensate for the signal tracking delay caused by thermal inertia when the temperature changes rapidly; when ΔT / Δt ≤ 0.1℃ / s, the calibrated value of α = 0.98 is restored, thereby achieving a compensation accuracy better than ±0.05%FS in both transient and steady-state temperature fields.

[0046] Furthermore, the compensated output value AD_Compensated is converted into an analog voltage by the 16-bit DAC module (model DAC80508) integrated within the ADuCM360, and then output as a 0-5V standard signal via a V / V conversion circuit. The V / V conversion circuit uses a non-inverting amplifier built with a zero-drift operational amplifier LTC2057, with its gain set to 2.000±0.01% by a precision resistor network, while suppressing nonlinear distortion through a negative feedback loop. For the current transmission signal output, the DAC output signal is isolated by a voltage follower composed of LTC2057, and then fed into a V / I conversion circuit composed of a precision instrumentation amplifier INA188 and MOSFET transistors, outputting a 4-20mA current signal. It is important to understand that the voltage follower ensures impedance matching and isolation between the voltage and current output paths, avoiding signal crosstalk caused by load changes.

[0047] Furthermore, during online calibration, when the user selects the voltage output mode via a DIP switch and triggers zero-point calibration, the ADuCM360 initializes the DAC output to 0V and activates the internal ADC channel AIN4 to sample the Vout signal in real time. The incremental PID algorithm dynamically adjusts the DAC output code based on the deviation e(k) between the sampled value and the target value of 0V. Specifically, the proportional gain Kp of the PID controller adopts a two-stage adjustment strategy: in the initial adjustment stage (|e(k)|>0.5%FS), Kp=3.0 to accelerate the response speed; when the deviation enters the steady-state range (|e(k)|≤0.5%FS), Kp switches to 0.5 to suppress overshoot. The integral time Ti and derivative time Td are dynamically coupled according to the temperature-compensated AD_Compensated value. For example, when AD_Compensated>80%FS, Ti is shortened from the default 5ms to 3ms, and Td is extended from 0.5ms to 1ms to cope with nonlinear errors caused by sudden load changes. Through the above adjustment mechanism, the convergence time of zero-point calibration can be shortened to less than 35ms, and the steady-state error can be controlled within ±0.01%FS.

[0048] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: The closed-loop dynamic control and synchronous acquisition mechanism using dual constant current sources eliminates the drawbacks of temperature drift caused by traditional potentiometer adjustment and the low efficiency of manual calibration; the dynamic weighted algorithm combined with adaptive adjustment of the compensation coefficient based on the rate of temperature change solves the hysteresis problem of fixed compensation parameters in transient temperature fields; the multi-stage adjustment strategy of the incremental PID algorithm significantly improves the response speed while ensuring calibration accuracy. Furthermore, the isolation design of the voltage and current output paths ensures the independence and consistency of the two transmission signals across the entire range.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 The schematic diagram shown illustrates the principle of online temperature self-compensation. It generates two precision constant current sources, I1+ and I2+, both with the same current magnitude, typically around 5mA. Due to the constant current excitation, the voltage drop generated by the strain gauges is a single-valued function of their resistance. When the two working strain gauges are operating, one is under tension and the other under compression, and their resistances change in opposite directions. Figure 1As shown, the differential voltage of the two working strain gauges is acquired, conditioned, and then sent to the 24-bit ADC inside the MCU for AD conversion. Let the AD conversion result be AD_Result_wort. Two temperature compensation gauges are used, employing the same strain gauges as the working strain gauges or dedicated temperature compensation gauges. Besides adjusting for deviations caused by the asynchronous operation of the two constant currents, their main function is temperature compensation. Their resistance changes are only affected by temperature. Since the working strain gauges and temperature compensation gauges have the same performance and are located in the same temperature field, the resistance changes caused by temperature changes in the working strain gauges and the temperature compensation gauges are essentially the same. The differential signal from the two temperature compensation strain gauges is sent to the 24-bit ADC for AD conversion. Let the conversion result be AD_Result_tempt, which is obtained by the MCU. The difference between AD_Result_wort and AD_Result_tempt is used as the final sensor output signal conversion value. Because the two are synchronous AD conversion results, the difference between their conversion values ​​essentially eliminates sensor signal changes caused by temperature variations, thus achieving online temperature self-compensation.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 The schematic diagram shown illustrates the principle of online self-calibration of analog transmission signals. Output selection is set by a DIP switch. The analog transmission signal output can be a single current or voltage transmission signal, or simultaneously output standard voltage and current transmission signals. A 16-bit DAC, under the control of the MCU, outputs relevant voltage signals. One path sends a voltage transmission signal to a V / V converter. After voltage tracking of the DAC output voltage, it is sent to a V / I converter to output an analog current transmission signal. Voltage tracking ensures that the two transmission signals do not interfere with each other when outputting simultaneously. Taking 0-5V output as an example, when zero-point calibration is required, the output and calibration type are selected as 0-5V via the DIP switch. Pressing the zero-calibration button sends the real-time output of the voltage transmission signal to the MCU's internal 24-bit ADC for AD conversion. Based on the preset zero-point calibration target value, the PID control program embedded in the MCU automatically completes the zero-point calibration, outputting 0V. When full-scale calibration is required, simply press the full-scale calibration button; similarly, the PID control program automatically completes the full-scale calibration, outputting 5V. Other calibrations are similar.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 4The system hardware block diagram shown illustrates the functionality of this invention. The system is powered by a 24VDC power supply, which, after voltage regulation, powers each module. The sensors are excited by dual precision constant current sources. The differential signal from the working strain gauge is converted by a high-resolution ADC integrated within the MCU. The differential signal from the temperature compensation gauge is synchronously converted by an external 24-bit ADC, and the MCU reads the conversion result. The MCU controls a 16-bit DAC to perform corresponding digital-to-analog conversion and outputs corresponding current and voltage analog transmission signals through V / I and V / V stages. The system is equipped with a 4-bit DIP switch for selecting the analog transmission signal output type, and two independent buttons for zero-point calibration and full-scale calibration. Based on the output type selection, pressing the relevant button activates the corresponding output calibration using a PID program embedded in the MCU's internal FLASH memory.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 The system power supply circuit uses a 24V DC power supply. D1 is a transient suppression diode, which can realize surge protection and overvoltage protection. F1 is a self-resetting fuse, which can realize system overcurrent protection. D2 is a reverse connection protection diode. The LDO Zener diode U4 provides a 3.3V power supply VCC to power the MCU and other digital circuits. U5 generates a 5V analog power supply 5VA to power the operational amplifier and reference chip, etc. U3 generates a 3.3V analog power supply to provide analog power to the MCU and external ADC / DAC chip NSA2860, etc. The analog ground and digital ground of the system are routed separately to prevent digital circuits from interfering with analog circuits. Then, a 0-ohm resistor R1 connects the analog ground and digital ground at one point to ensure that the potentials of digital ground and analog ground are the same.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 The circuit diagram for the dual constant current excitation of the working strain gauge and temperature compensation plate is shown below. Taking the circuit generating the first I1+ as an example, U10, R14, R15, R18, R20, and RS2 form a constant current circuit, where R15 = R18 = R14 = R20, and RS2 is a sampling resistor. The generated constant current I1+ = 2.5V / RS2. The magnitude of the constant current can be obtained by appropriately selecting the resistance value of RS2, which is generally around 5mA. The 2.5V reference voltage is obtained from the high-precision reference chip U11. In the design, I1+ and I2+ are equal. The two constant currents drive the two working strain gauges and the temperature compensation plate. The differential voltage S+-S- of the working strain gauges, after filtering and limiting, yields the Vp-Vn differential signal, which is sent to the 24-bit ADC inside the MCU for AD conversion. The differential signal Vt+-Vt- of the compensation plate is sent to the external NSA2860's internal 24-bit ADC for conversion. The two processes are performed synchronously.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 7The diagram shows the minimum system of the MCU and related peripheral circuits of this invention. U9 in the diagram is the MCU, a domestically produced high-performance analog-mixed device. It integrates a multi-channel, high-resolution 24-bit ADC and a low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The differential signal from the sensor's strain gauge is sent to its internal AIN0-AIN1 differential channels. During calibration, the relevant analog transmission signals are processed and sent to AIN4 and AIN5 channels for AD conversion. The PID control program is stored in the MCU's internal FLASH memory. The MCU and the external NSA2860 communicate via the SPI bus. SW1 is a 4-bit DIP switch used for output type selection and calibration selection. R26 and C27 are the power-on reset circuit. S1 and S2 are the full-scale calibration and zero-point calibration function keys, respectively. S3 is the zeroing key; pressing this key during operation performs a zeroing operation. DS1 is a status indicator used to display the transmitter's operating status.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 The circuit shown depicts the analog signal transmission output and real-time acquisition. U3 is an analog mixed-signal device integrating a 24-bit ADC and a 16-bit DAC, as well as a PGA with amplification ranging from 1x to 256x. Its ADC performs AD conversion on the differential signals Vt+-Vt- from the temperature compensation chip, and the 16-bit DAC generates the corresponding analog voltage output. This is amplified and converted by the low-noise operational amplifier U1 to produce the analog voltage transmission signal output Vout. The output voltage V_DET is then obtained by voltage division through precision low-drift resistors RS_V1 and RS_V2 and sent to the MCU's internal AIN4 channel for feedback, used for PID regulation and calibration of the analog voltage transmission output signal. The voltage from U2 is followed by a precision V / I converter circuit composed of U7, Q3, Q4, R10, and R13 to generate the analog current transmission signal output. U8 is a single-pole double-throw analog switch. When a normal current transmission signal is required, B-A2 is turned on, outputting the current transmission signal IOUT. When calibration of this signal is required, the MCU controls pin 6 of U8 to turn on B-A1. U12 follows the signal, and then the current-to-voltage conversion is achieved by the RS1 sampling resistor. The signal is then sent to the AIN5 channel of the MCU's internal ADC for acquisition and feedback. Automatic calibration of the current transmission signal is achieved by a PID controller. R12 and Q4 in the diagram form a current-limiting resistor. The current limiting value depends on the resistance of R12. R13 and R10 are precision resistors with a strength of 0.1% (25ppm). The current and voltage transmission output signals in the diagram can be output individually or simultaneously. Due to the presence of the voltage follower U2, the two do not affect each other. D3 acts as a reverse protection device. The voltage follower formed by U12 is used to eliminate the influence of the analog switch's on-resistance (approximately 1 ohm) on the current sampling.

Rather, various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present invention, and such modifications and variations should fall within the scope defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
