Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model provides a signal acquisition interface circuit for nanometer material gas sensor belongs to signal acquisition circuit technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the middle of the twentieth century, people found that semiconductor thin films are sensitive to gas concentration, and after that, gas sensors prepared by metal oxide (ZnO, SnO2, Fe2O3, etc.) materials have been rapidly developed. Traditional metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have been widely used in qualitative detection of toxic and harmful gases due to their easy preparation and low price. However, such sensors usually have poor selectivity and unsatisfactory stability, and are not suitable for situations where the gas concentration needs to be accurately measured. With the research on semiconductor thin film materials, people found that when the size of a material in one dimension is reduced to nanoscale, the physical properties of the material will change greatly. This is because nanomaterials have a large specific surface area, which can provide more adsorption sites and active sites, so they can achieve very high sensitivity to a single gas.

[0003] The output resistance range of the gas sensor designed based on metal oxide semiconductor material can reach 1KΩ-100MΩ in actual application. Since the output signal range of this type of sensor is very large, it is extremely important to obtain accurate sensor input-output characteristic curves to improve measurement accuracy. In summary, developing a high-precision signal acquisition and processing system for nanomaterial gas sensors is the only way to apply such sensors in practice.

[0019] The utility model makes further explanation from the following combined with the drawing:

[0020] Figure 1 It is high resistance negative feedback I / V amplification principle diagram of the utility model;

[0021] Figure 2 It is main control chip minimum system principle diagram of the utility model;

[0022] Figure 3 It is gear shifting flow chart of the utility model;

[0023] Figure 4 It is system block diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a signal acquisition interface circuit for nanometer material gas sensor, including main control chip, signal acquisition circuit, display module and communication interface, and main control chip is as control core control range's automatic switching, signal's capture, data acquisition and host computer communication, shows sensor real -time information simultaneously.

[0025] The main control chip adopts STM32F103 series single-chip microcomputer in the embodiment. The display module is an OLED display module.

[0026] The signal acquisition circuit is a high-resistance negative feedback I / V amplification circuit, wherein LMC6062 is used as an operational amplifier, the input stage of LMC6062 adopts MOS tube design, the input resistance is high, the offset current is very small, the input current voltage noise is extremely low, and it is very suitable for micro-current signal amplification.

[0027] The communication interface is a UART serial communication bus protocol, and communication between the main control chip and a PC host computer is realized. The PC host computer is connected with a CH340 module, so that serial communication can be realized through two pins of RXD and TXD, and data can be transmitted and received by setting the same baud rate for both sides.

[0028] In the research of semiconductor gas sensor materials, the internal resistance of some sensors can be as high as GΩ, and the detection current signal is as low as pA. The detection of this type of signal belongs to the detection of extremely weak micro-current signal, and the signal-to-noise ratio is extremely low, so the detection is difficult. Some traditional proportional amplification type and current integration type, resistance voltage division method and Wheatstone bridge method are relatively expensive in design, large in size and heavy in weight, but the application scene of micro-current detection is more and more, so it has important practical significance and application value to design a micro-current detection instrument with small size, light weight and low cost based on high resistance negative feedback amplification circuit.

[0029] As Figure 4 shown, it is a block diagram of a signal acquisition interface circuit for a nanomaterial gas sensor according to the embodiment, and the circuit specifically comprises:

[0030] (1) The utility model discloses a 4 data acquisition channels can be measured 4 way gas sensor simultaneously, also leave the expansion interface, can increase the number of channels.

[0031] (2) The utility model discloses 4 kinds of selectable measuring circuit, can stable measurement output resistance range in 1KΩ-100MΩ gas sensor. In 1KΩ-1MΩ resistance range, the precision reaches 1%, 1MΩ-100MΩ resistance range, the precision reaches 5%;The specific method of gear shifting is as Figure 3 shown: first, the ADC starts sampling, and the single-chip microcomputer obtains the AD conversion value from the ADC. If the gear position of the amplification circuit is in the low gear at this time and the AD conversion value is greater than 2.4V, the single-chip microcomputer pin will drive the relay gear to switch to the high gear. If the current is in the high gear and the AD conversion value is less than 0.002V, it means that the current range does not meet the current measured value, so the single-chip microcomputer pin level value should be changed to drive the relay to switch the amplification circuit gear to the low gear. But if the current range is in the low gear and the AD conversion value is less than the minimum resolution, or the current range is in the high gear and the AD conversion value is greater than the maximum range, it means that the current measurement value has exceeded the range, so the sampling should be stopped to avoid damaging the AD part of the single-chip microcomputer and an alarm should be sent.

[0032] (3) In the process of channel scanning, first, channel 1 (high resistance negative feedback amplification circuit) is scanned, and the control process of the amplification circuit measurement of the channel includes range switching and ADC data sampling. Next, the remaining three channels are scanned, and the control process of the circuit measurement of each channel includes timer capture integration pulse and other operations.

[0033] (4) When the scanning of the channel is completed, the system will preliminarily process all the measured raw data, and the data acquisition part is designed with an external display OLED terminal, so that the resistance change of the sensor can be directly observed. At the same time, it is sent to the PC host computer through the serial communication interface. The single data acquisition time is less than 30 ms; the host computer communicates with the circuit system, and can record the data of 2 channels at the same time. After processing the data, the response curve is drawn, and the response time and sensitivity of the gas sensor are quantitatively analyzed.

Except for the special description in the embodiments, the specific connection relationship can bring corresponding technical effects.
