[0028] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a resonant tuning fork density meter detection circuit. The resonant tuning fork density meter detection circuit includes a tuning fork transducer, a self-resonant circuit, a tuning fork power enable circuit, an MCU control circuit, a shaping circuit, a driving circuit, and an analog switch circuit. The tuning fork transducer is connected to the self-resonant circuit and the driving circuit. The self-resonant circuit is connected to the analog switch circuit and the shaping circuit. The MCU control circuit is connected to the analog switch circuit, the tuning fork enable circuit, and the shaping circuit. The analog switch circuit is connected to the driving circuit. The self-resonant circuit includes a first signal amplification circuit, a second signal amplification circuit, and a bandpass filter circuit. The first signal amplification circuit is connected to the tuning fork transducer, and the second signal amplification circuit is connected to the analog switch circuit and the shaping circuit. The bandpass filter circuit is connected between the first signal amplification circuit and the second signal amplification circuit.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a tuning fork arm is fixedly installed on the outer side of the tuning fork transducer. The tuning fork arm is used to receive specific frequency energy from the tuning fork transducer and generate mechanical vibration. The tuning fork transducer is internally equipped with a pickup piezoelectric ceramic and an excitation piezoelectric ceramic. The excitation piezoelectric ceramic is used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to facilitate rapid oscillation of the tuning fork. The excitation piezoelectric ceramic is used to convert the mechanical energy of the tuning fork vibration into electrical energy and send it to subsequent circuits for detection. The self-resonant circuit is used to process the electrical signal sent by the tuning fork transducer. Specifically, the self-resonant circuit includes a first signal amplification circuit, a bandpass filter circuit, and a second signal amplification circuit. The first signal amplification circuit is used to initially amplify the electrical signal sent by the tuning fork transducer to facilitate subsequent removal of noise in the electrical signal. The circuit includes a bandpass filter circuit for filtering out noise from the initially amplified electrical signal, preserving the inherent resonant frequency of the tuning fork, preventing self-excitation of the tuning fork transducer, and preventing noise from affecting the tuning fork frequency acquisition. The second signal amplification circuit further amplifies the filtered electrical signal to ensure it is effectively transmitted to subsequent circuits. The analog switch circuit enables switching between the drive signal and the resonant signal. The drive circuit converts the drive signal sent by the MCU control circuit into a signal capable of driving the tuning fork to vibrate. The tuning fork power enable circuit controls the power supply to the tuning fork. The shaping circuit converts the electrical signal sent by the self-resonant circuit into a square wave of the corresponding frequency. The MCU control circuit manages and controls the switching of the tuning fork power enable circuit and the analog switch circuit.In the specific implementation of this utility model, after the tuning fork product is powered on, the MCU control circuit controls the tuning fork power enable circuit to open and the switch to close by outputting a high level. At this time, the tuning fork power enable circuit supplies power to the self-resonant circuit and the drive circuit, and the MCU control circuit controls the analog switch circuit to switch to the strong drive signal terminal and sends a strong drive signal to the drive circuit. This signal then passes through the drive circuit to the piezoelectric ceramic at the excitation terminal of the tuning fork transducer, driving the tuning fork fork arm to vibrate, thereby achieving rapid oscillation of the tuning fork. After the tuning fork arm vibrates, the piezoelectric ceramic at the transducer pickup terminal converts the received vibration signal into a voltage signal for output. The self-resonant circuit amplifies and filters the voltage signal to filter out interference from the tuning fork transducer and other abnormal frequencies, preventing the circuit from entering the transducer's self-resonance. A portion of the signal after passing through the self-resonant circuit enters the integrated circuit. The waveform is converted into a standard square wave by the shaping circuit, which is then input to the MCU control circuit for frequency acquisition. Simultaneously, the frequency value is converted into a density value for output. Another portion of the signal enters the drive circuit via an analog switch and reaches the piezoelectric ceramic at the excitation end of the tuning fork transducer, driving the tuning fork arm to vibrate. After the tuning fork has been working for a period of time, the MCU control circuit outputs a low level to control the tuning fork power enable circuit to close, the switch opens, and the tuning fork power enable circuit disconnects the power supply to the self-resonant circuit and drive circuit, stopping the tuning fork from working. This reduces the impact of circuit heating and bubble formation on the density measurement value. After a period of time, it reopens, repeating the switching state. Therefore, it can achieve rapid tuning fork oscillation while minimizing the impact of heating and bubble formation on the density measurement value, ensuring the measurement accuracy and reliability of the tuning fork density meter.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the main control chip U10 is model GD32F303CGT6, which is mainly responsible for acquiring the frequency value generated by the tuning fork and controlling the switching of the tuning fork drive unit; the crystal oscillator X1 is 8MHz, which is used to provide a suitable operating frequency for the main control chip U10; the signal of the reset chip U1 is MAX809S, which is mainly used to ensure that the main control chip U10 starts running from a known safe state when powered on or when a fault occurs; the capacitor C43 is used to cooperate with the reset chip U1 to provide a stable reset process; the resistor R48 is used to adjust the current to ensure stable circuit operation.

[0032] Reference Figure 3As shown, the analog switch circuit includes an analog switch chip U17, resistors R29, R37, R39, and R40.

The other end of resistor R37 is connected to the main control chip U10. The other end of resistor R39 is grounded. The other end of resistor R40 is connected to the self-resonant circuit.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the analog switch circuit consists of an analog switch chip U17 and resistors R29, R37, R40, and R50. When the tuning fork is powered on, the MCU control circuit controls the tuning fork power enable circuit to open through the main control chip U10. The MCU control circuit outputs a strong drive signal through the main control chip U10 to the NC pin of the analog switch circuit via resistor R37. At this time, the analog switch chip U17 is controlled by the MCU control circuit to connect and conduct the NC pin and COM pin. This signal passes through the analog switch chip... The output is from the COM pin of U17. Within 3 seconds of powering on the tuning fork or after the tuning fork stops vibrating, the tuning fork needs to be forcibly driven. The frequency of the forced drive signal is basically the same as the natural resonant frequency of the tuning fork. The MCU control circuit inputs a low level to the IN pin of the analog switch chip U17. When the IN pin is low, the NC pin and COM pin of the analog switch chip U17 are conducting. At other times, the IN pin is high, and the COM pin and NO pin are conducting, switching to the tuning fork self-resonance drive state. In addition, the model of the analog switch chip U17 is RS2103.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the tuning fork starts oscillating, the piezoelectric ceramic at the pickup end of the tuning fork transducer converts the received mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electrical signal is amplified and filtered by a self-resonant circuit. The self-resonant circuit consists of a signal amplification circuit and a bandpass filter circuit. The signal amplification circuit is composed of a first signal amplification circuit and a second signal amplification circuit. The first signal amplification circuit amplifies the electrical signal output by the pickup piezoelectric ceramic, increasing its amplitude to facilitate driving subsequent circuits. The bandpass filter circuit filters out noise from the tuning fork signal after passing through the first signal amplification circuit. This filter is a Chebyshev bandpass filter, with its center frequency being the natural resonant frequency of the tuning fork. It effectively filters out interference from the transducer and other abnormal frequencies, preventing the circuit from entering the transducer's self-resonance and also preventing external signals from affecting the signal frequency acquisition. The signal amplitude after passing through the bandpass filter is relatively small, and then it is amplified by a second signal amplification circuit, which is a non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit. After passing through the self-resonant circuit, part of the output signal enters the analog switching circuit and then the driving circuit to drive the tuning fork's self-resonance, while the other part enters the shaping circuit.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the shaping circuit is used to shape the output signal of the self-resonant circuit, turning the signal into a standard square wave. Specifically, the signal output by the self-resonant circuit is compared with a fixed voltage value after being divided by resistors R17 and R20. After comparison, the amplitude of the output signal is 3.3V, and the frequency is the frequency of the tuning fork vibration.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the tuning fork power enable circuit consists of two parts. The first part consists of MOSFET Q1, MOSFET Q3, resistors R10, R12, R13, and R14, forming a switch that controls the power input. When the power needs to be turned on, a high level can be output from the pin of the main control chip U10 to resistor R13 to turn it on; when the power needs to be turned off, a low level can be output from the pin of the main control chip U10 to resistor R13 to turn it off. The second part consists of boost converter chip U2, resistors R6, R7, R8, and R11, inductor L2, diode D2, capacitors C12, C15, C16, and C58, and capacitor... C60 forms a DC-DC boost circuit. When the tuning fork needs to work, the main control chip U10 outputs a high level to resistor R13 through its corresponding control pin, turning on the switch. After the switch is turned on, the power supply goes through MOSFET Q1 to the subsequent DC-DC boost circuit to increase the voltage, boosting the input voltage to 32V to power the operational amplifier for the tuning fork signal and drive. To turn off the power, the main control chip U10 simply outputs a low level to resistor R13 through its corresponding control pin. The tuning fork power enable circuit is turned on and off intermittently during specific operation to reduce the impact of heating of the tuning fork's own power drive circuit and solution bubbles on frequency acquisition, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy and reliability of the tuning fork density meter.

[0040] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the driving circuit includes amplifier chip U65, amplifier chip U66, resistors R60, R61, R62, and R63, capacitor C29, and capacitor C55. The positive input terminal of amplifier chip U65 is connected to the COM pin of analog switch chip U17, the negative input terminal is connected to one end of resistor R60 and one end of resistor R61, and the output terminal is connected to one end of capacitor C29 and one end of resistor R62. The positive input terminal of amplifier chip U66 is connected to a 16V voltage, the negative input terminal is connected to the other end of resistor R62 and one end of resistor R63, and the output terminal is connected to the other end of resistor R63 and one end of capacitor C55. The other ends of capacitors C29 and C55 are both connected to a tuning fork transducer. The other end of resistor R61 is connected to a 3.3V voltage. The other end of resistor R60 is grounded.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the signal output from the analog switch circuit reaches the drive circuit, the input signal of the drive circuit is compared with the voltage value of the voltage divider formed by resistors R60 and R61, and output by the amplifier chip U65. Since the operational amplifier U64 is powered by 32V, the waveform after comparison is a square wave with an amplitude of nearly 32V. This signal is then inverted by an inverting circuit composed of resistors R62 and R63 and amplifier chip U65. The inverted signal and the signal before inversion are respectively input to the piezoelectric ceramic plate at the excitation end of the tuning fork transducer through capacitors C55 and C29 to drive the tuning fork to vibrate. Among them, capacitors C55 and C29 are used to pass AC and block DC, and the amplifier chip U65 is model RS8414.
