[0038] One button circuit serves as an automatic operation switching circuit, used to input an automatic operation command to the central processing unit module when the button switch is pressed.

[0048] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a circuit diagram of the central processing unit module.

[0050] The first button circuit of the operation button module includes a manual on / off button switch S1, resistors R61 and R63, and capacitor C32.

Furthermore, the connection point of resistors R69 and R70 is also connected to the AUTO_Key_In of the central processing unit module, which is used to input an automatic operation command to the central processing unit module when the automatic operation button switch S3 is pressed.

[0053] The one-click download module includes a one-click download button switch S4, resistors R71 and R73, and capacitor C35. One end of resistor R71 is connected to the one-click download button switch S4, and the other end is grounded through resistor R73.

[0054] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of a programmable input circuit.

[0055] The programmable input circuit includes transient suppression diodes D10 and D8, resistors R58, R59, and R75, and capacitor C52. One end of the transient suppression diode D10 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the input terminal of the programmable input circuit. The input terminal of the programmable input circuit is also connected to the cathode of diode D8. The anode of diode D8 is connected to the programmable input pin IN1 of the central processing unit module through a voltage divider and filter circuit composed of resistors R59, R75, and capacitor C52, inputting the start-up pressure threshold or stop-down pressure threshold to the central processing unit module. A 5.0V power supply voltage is also connected between the anode of diode D8 and resistor R59 through a pull-up resistor R58.

[0056] It is understandable that the circuitry of the other programmable input circuit is the same as... Figure 3 Similarly, no further specific information will be provided here.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the pipeline pressure acquisition circuit includes a PRESSLRE SENSOR sensor signal input terminal, a first control branch, a second control branch, a sampling resistor R78, and a third control branch. The reference voltage VDDA is connected to the sensor signal input terminal in sequence through a first switching transistor Q4, a diode D6, a first voltage divider resistor R60, and a second voltage divider resistor R77. The connection point between the second voltage divider resistor R77 and the sensor signal input terminal is grounded through a filter capacitor C54. It can be understood that the PRESSLRE SENSOR sensor signal input terminal is also equipped with a transient voltage suppression diode TVS D14 to suppress transient voltage surges.

[0058] The first control branch includes a first control terminal PS TS O1 and a first resistor R56. The first control terminal PS TS O1 is connected to the base of the first switching transistor Q4 through the first resistor R56.

[0059] The second control branch includes a second control terminal PS TS O1, a second resistor R57, and a second switch Q5. The second control terminal PS TS O1 is connected to the base of the second switch Q5 through the second resistor R57. The collector of the second switch Q5 is connected to the connection point of the first voltage divider resistor R60 and the second voltage divider resistor R77.

[0060] The third control branch includes a third control terminal PS TSO3 and a third resistor R83. The third control terminal PS TSO3 is connected to one end of the sampling resistor R78 through the third resistor R83. The other end of the sampling resistor R78 is also connected to the sensor signal input terminal PRESSLRE SENSOR.

[0061] The connection point of diode D6 and the first voltage divider resistor R60 is connected to the first output terminal after passing through an RC filter circuit composed of resistor R57 and capacitor C50, and is connected to PS_ACDIN1 of the central processing unit.

[0062] The connection point between the third resistor R83 and the sampling resistor R78 is connected to the second output terminal via an RC filter circuit composed of resistor R79 and capacitor C53, which is then connected to the PS_ACDIN2 of the central processing unit.

[0063] It is understood that the first output terminal is also provided with a diode clamping protection circuit composed of diodes D7 and D9; the second output terminal is also provided with a diode clamping protection circuit composed of diodes D11 and D13.

[0064] When the Vin1 voltage is greater than VCC, diode D34 is obviously turned on and diode D37 is turned off. The voltage PSInl output by the first signal output terminal is equal to VCC + 0.7V.

[0065] When the Vin1 voltage is between VCC and GND, both diodes D37 and D34 are turned off, and the output voltage Vout is equal to Vin1; when the Vin1 voltage is less than GND, then diode D37 is turned on, diode D34 is turned off, and the output voltage PSInl of the first signal output terminal is equal to GND-0.7V.

[0066] Therefore, regardless of the external input voltage Vin1, the voltage PS Inl output from the first signal output terminal is always clamped and limited between VCC+0.7 and GND-0.7, thus protecting the downstream processor from overvoltage damage. Preferably, VCC is 3.3V.

[0067] Similarly, the second output branch includes a second resistor R105, a capacitor C51, and a diode clamping protection circuit composed of diodes D39 and D41. The diode clamping protection circuit is used to protect the downstream processor from overvoltage damage.

[0068] Specifically, the third control branch includes a third control terminal PS TS O3 and a pull-up resistor R108. The third control terminal PS TS O3 is connected to the connection point between the sampling resistor R104 and the second output branch through the pull-up resistor R108, that is, connected to the fourth resistor R105.

[0069] The working principle is as follows: the first control terminal PS TS O1 is controlled to be at a high level, the second control terminal PS TS O12 outputs a high level, and then the third control terminal PS TS O3 is controlled to be at a low level. The current flows to the low level through the pull-up resistor R83 and the sampling resistor R78. At this time, the central processing unit module calculates the output voltage value of the pressure sensor by acquiring the data value of the second output terminal PS_ACDIN2.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, the relay switching circuit includes a transistor Q3 and a relay. The control output port PUMPOUT of the central processing unit module is connected to the base of transistor Q3 through a voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R17 and R18. The 5.0V power supply is connected to the collector of transistor Q3 through the energizing coil of the relay. A diode D2 is also connected in reverse parallel across the energizing coil of the relay. The contact switch K2 of the relay is connected in series in the control circuit of the electric fire pump.

[0071] Specifically, when the control output port PUMPOUT of the central processing unit module outputs a low level, the transistor Q3 is turned on, the relay's energizing coil is activated, and the relay's contact switch K2 is closed to control the electric fire pump to start working; when the control output port PUMPOUT of the central processing unit module outputs a high level, the transistor Q3 is turned off, the relay's energizing coil is de-energized, and the relay's contact switch K2 is opened to control the electric fire pump to stop working.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
