Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to USB data transmission technical field especially relates to a USB transmission rate promotion circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] In many fields such as security monitoring, industrial detection, power inspection and building detection, handheld thermal imagers play an indispensable role. Its photographing and video recording functions can accurately record the thermal imaging state of the equipment operation, providing key data support for staff to troubleshoot and analyze equipment problems. For example, in power inspection, the thermal image taken by the handheld thermal imager can quickly find the overheated parts in the line and prevent faults from occurring in advance.

[0003] However, the current handheld thermal imager has obvious shortcomings in data storage and transmission. In daily use, a large number of files generated are stored in the instrument. When these data need to be exported, due to the use of USB2.0 interface in conventional embedded chips, the transmission speed is slow, and it takes a long time to export a large amount of data. In the industrial production detection scene, detection personnel urgently need to export thermal image data quickly for analysis, and the long export time will seriously affect the production efficiency and even delay the entire production progress.

[0004] USB3.0 has significant performance improvement compared to USB2.0. It has higher data transmission rate (theoretically, the transmission speed of USB3.0 can reach 5Gbps, while the transmission speed of USB2.0 is only 480Mbps), stronger power supply capability and better compatibility.

[0005] Currently, there are mainly two common solutions to the data transmission problem of thermal imagers on the market. One is to directly replace the chip with a USB3.0 interface. Although this solution can significantly improve the data transmission speed and effectively shorten the export time, it has many drawbacks. On the one hand, replacing the chip will significantly increase the product cost, leading to an increase in product price and reducing market competitiveness. On the other hand, the compatibility of the new chip with the original embedded system cannot be guaranteed, which may cause various unstable factors and increase the difficulty of product development and maintenance. The other is to use wireless transmission methods such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. to transmit data. Although wireless transmission is more convenient to use, it has obvious shortcomings in actual application. The transmission distance will be limited, and the signal will weaken or even be interrupted beyond a certain range. At the same time, wireless signals are easily disturbed, and in a complex electromagnetic environment, the stability of transmission cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, when transmitting a large amount of data, the transmission speed cannot meet the demand of fast export. INVENTION CONTENTS
