Example
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem of the AD+MCU mode, which uses an external analog-to-digital converter chip and an 8-bit or 16-bit microcontroller to collect three-phase power grid data. This power monitoring method has many drawbacks, such as the chip having a single function, requiring a large number of peripheral expansion devices, and having complex software algorithms and low measurement accuracy. The overall approach is as follows:
[0022] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a novel multifunctional power monitoring device, including a signal acquisition module, a dedicated energy metering chip module, a microcontroller module, a parameter display module, and a button module. The signal acquisition module includes voltage transformers and current transformers, used to acquire voltage and current signals respectively. The dedicated energy metering chip module transmits signals to the microcontroller module through its own SPI port. The dedicated energy metering chip module receives the acquired three-phase voltage and three-phase current signals, processes these signals, including amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion, to extract accurate voltage and current information, and transmits the processed signals to the microcontroller module through the SPI port. The microcontroller module receives the three-phase voltage and three-phase current signals from the dedicated energy metering chip module, further processes and analyzes these signals, and the button module is used for calibrating the voltage transformers and current transformers.
[0023] The dedicated energy metering chip module is an ATT7022E three-phase energy dedicated metering chip, and the microcontroller module is an STM32 microcontroller. The microcontroller module executes the initialization program to refresh and clear the existing internal data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The system evaluates the current operating status and determines whether the voltage transformer or current transformer needs to be calibrated. The evaluation criteria may include factors such as the equipment's usage time, the time interval between the last calibration, and changes in the equipment's operating environment. The parameter display module is a 1602 LCD liquid crystal display screen. One end of the signal acquisition module is connected to the power supply via a wiring harness. The microcontroller module and the parameter display module are connected in series via wiring harnesses.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] The first step is to start the power monitoring device. The system begins initialization, with the microcontroller module executing the initialization program to refresh and clear existing data, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The system then assesses the current operating status to determine if calibration of the voltage or current transformer is necessary. Assessment factors may include equipment usage time, the time interval between the last calibration, and changes in the operating environment. If calibration is required, it is performed via the button module. The user can input calibration commands and parameters using the button module, following the device's prompts. The microcontroller module receives the input commands from the button input. The system receives the input signal from the block and performs corresponding calibration adjustments on the voltage transformer or current transformer according to the calibration instructions. If the judgment result indicates that no calibration of the voltage transformer or current transformer is required, the system enters the signal acquisition stage. The voltage transformer acquires the three-phase voltage signal and converts the high voltage into a low voltage signal suitable for subsequent processing. The current transformer acquires the three-phase current signal and converts the large current into a small current signal. The dedicated energy metering chip module receives the acquired three-phase voltage and three-phase current signals and processes these signals, including amplification, filtering, analog-to-digital conversion, etc., to extract accurate voltage and current information. The processed signal is transmitted to the microcontroller module through the SPI port. The microcontroller module receives the three-phase voltage and three-phase current signals from the dedicated energy metering chip module, further processes and analyzes these signals, calculates parameters such as voltage and current, and transmits the calculated parameters to the parameter display. The parameter display shows the voltage, current, and other parameters, completing one monitoring cycle.
