Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power line carrier communication, and in particular to a DC carrier communication system. Background Technology
[0002] Power line carrier communication is widely used in remote areas because it improves the convenience of long-distance communication in remote areas due to its advantage of not requiring separate communication lines.
[0003] Meanwhile, in recent years, power line carrier communication technology has also been gradually applied to some short-range communications. However, traditional power line carrier communication signals are modulated on the neutral or live wire. Since large currents may run on the neutral and live wires, it is necessary to increase the power of the transmitting end, which increases the loss of power line carrier communication.
[0004] In addition, traditional power line carrier communication is generally used in AC lines. When applied to DC power lines, it can cause mutual interference with DC power supply, thus limiting its application range. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] A DC carrier communication system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a transmitter and a receiver;
[0029] Both the transmitter and receiver are connected to the same ground wire;
[0030] The transmitter includes an N-channel MOSFET Q2, a P-channel MOSFET Q1, a first DC power supply, a second DC power supply, a first voltage divider resistor R1, a second voltage divider resistor R2, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2. The gate of the P-channel MOSFET Q1 is connected to the output terminal of the host communication unit, the source is connected to the positive terminal of the first DC power supply, and the drain is connected to ground through the first voltage divider resistor R1. The gate of the N-channel MOSFET Q2 is connected to the output terminal of the host communication unit, the source is connected to the negative terminal of the second DC power supply, and the drain is connected to ground through the second voltage divider resistor R2. One end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the positive terminal of the first DC power supply, and the other end is grounded. One end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the negative terminal of the second DC power supply, and the other end is grounded. The resistance value of the first voltage divider resistor R1 is less than the resistance value of the second voltage divider resistor R2. The host communication unit outputs a high level of 12V to represent data 1, and outputs a first low level slightly greater than 0V to represent data 0.
[0031] The receiver includes a third voltage divider resistor R3, a fourth voltage divider resistor R4, and a comparator U2. One end of the third voltage divider resistor R3 is connected to ground, and the other end is connected to one end of the fourth voltage divider resistor R4, as well as the inverting input of the comparator U2. The non-inverting input of the comparator U2 is connected to the other end of the fourth voltage divider resistor R4 and grounded. The output of the comparator U2 is connected to the input of the lower-level communication device.
[0032] In this embodiment, signal transmission is achieved based on a common ground wire. Since the leakage current to ground of DC power supply is very small, the loss is low, the clamping power is small, and it is not affected by the DC decoupling capacitor of the DC line.
[0033] Based on the design of N-channel MOSFET Q2 and P-channel MOSFET Q1, combined with the first voltage divider resistor R1 and the second voltage divider resistor R2, when the upper communication unit outputs a high level of 12V, the N-channel MOSFET Q2 conducts while the P-channel MOSFET Q1 does not conduct, applying a -12V voltage to the ground. Subsequently, on the receiver side, since the non-inverting input is grounded, the potential of the inverting input is lower than that of the non-inverting input. The receiver outputs a high level of 12V to represent data 1, thus achieving a unified format between the upper and lower communication units without requiring modification to the communication unit.
[0034] Both the first and second DC power supplies are 12V regulated power supplies. Specifically, when the input signal from the host communication unit is 1, the signal level is +12V. At this time, for the P-channel MOSFET Q1, there is no potential difference between the gate and the source, and the P-channel MOSFET Q1 is in the off state. For the N-channel MOSFET Q2, the source is -12V and the gate is +12V, which meets the conduction condition. Therefore, the N-channel MOSFET Q2 is in the conduction state. At this time, the ground potential is pulled to -12V. On the receiver side, under the action of the third voltage divider resistor R3 and the fourth voltage divider resistor R4, the input potential of the inverting input terminal of comparator U2 is: -12×R4 / (R3+R4), which is less than 0, while the potential of the non-inverting input terminal of comparator U2 is 0. The potential of the non-inverting input terminal is greater than the potential of the inverting input terminal, so comparator U2 outputs a high-level signal, and the received signal is 1, thus completing the restoration of the input signal.
[0035] Conversely, when the input signal from the host communication unit is 0, the signal is at a potential of 0. At this time, both P-channel MOSFET Q1 and N-channel MOSFET Q2 are in the conducting state. However, since the first voltage divider resistor R1 is smaller than the second voltage divider resistor R2, the potential on the transmitter output side is greater than 0. Under the action of the third voltage divider resistor R3 and the fourth voltage divider resistor R4, the input potential of the inverting input terminal of comparator U2 is greater than 0, while the potential of the non-inverting input terminal of comparator U2 is 0. Since the potential of the non-inverting input terminal is less than the potential of the inverting input terminal, comparator U2 outputs a low-level signal, and the received signal is 0, thus completing the restoration of the input signal.
[0036] In some embodiments, the resistance of the second voltage divider resistor R2 is twice the resistance of the first voltage divider resistor R1. Thus, the greater the difference between the two, the higher the potential at the inverting input of comparator U2 when the input signal is 0, resulting in a more significant reduction in the failure rate.
[0037] Under normal circumstances, one end of the ground wire is grounded through a large resistor, the resistance of which is at least a thousand times that of the second voltage divider resistor R2.
[0038] In some embodiments, similarly, in order to maximize the absolute value of the potential at the inverting input of comparator U2, the resistance of the third voltage divider resistor R3 is smaller than that of the fourth voltage divider resistor R4.
[0039] Generally, the capacitance values of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are equal.
[0040] Example 2

[0042] Both the transmitter and receiver are connected to the same ground wire;
[0043] The transmitter includes an N-channel MOSFET Q2, a P-channel MOSFET Q1, a first DC power supply, a second DC power supply, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2. The gate of the P-channel MOSFET Q1 is connected to the output terminal of the host communication unit, the source is connected to the positive terminal of the first DC power supply, and the drain is connected to ground. The gate of the N-channel MOSFET Q2 is connected to the output terminal of the host communication unit, the source is connected to the negative terminal of the second DC power supply, and the drain is connected to ground. One end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the positive terminal of the first DC power supply, and the other end is grounded. One end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the negative terminal of the second DC power supply, and the other end is grounded. The output terminal of the host communication unit outputs a high level of 12V to indicate data 1 and outputs -12V to indicate data 0.
[0044] The receiver includes a third voltage divider resistor R3, a fourth voltage divider resistor R4, and a comparator U2. One end of the third voltage divider resistor R3 is connected to ground, and the other end is connected to one end of the fourth voltage divider resistor R4, as well as the inverting input of the comparator U2. The non-inverting input of the comparator U2 is connected to the other end of the fourth voltage divider resistor R4 and grounded. The output of the comparator U2 is connected to the input of the lower-level communication device.
[0045] In this embodiment, the main step is to remove the first voltage divider resistor R1 and the second voltage divider resistor R2, thereby reducing the significance of the signal transmitted through the ground wire when the input data is 0.
