[0036] The main control circuit 26 is connected to the trigger 25, the main control circuit 26 is connected to the speed detection circuit, and the main control circuit 26 is connected to the amplifier circuit 24. The main control circuit 26 is used to adjust the amplification factor of the amplifier circuit 24 according to the trigger signal, and to detect the speed of the rotor 10 according to the reflected light signal output by the amplifier circuit 24.
[0037] In one embodiment, the rotational speed detection circuit includes a laser emitter 21 connected to the main control circuit 26. The laser emitter 21 is used to emit a laser light source to illuminate the rotor 10.
[0038] In one embodiment, the laser emitter 21 is a laser.
[0039] In one embodiment, the laser tachometer further includes a power supply circuit connected to the laser emitter 21, the power supply circuit being used to provide operating power to the laser emitter 21.
[0040] Furthermore, the power supply circuit includes a voltage regulator and a current-limiting resistor. The voltage regulator is used to regulate the voltage of the input power supply, which is then transmitted to the laser emitter 21 via the current-limiting resistor.
[0041] In one embodiment, the laser tachometer further includes a filter circuit 23, the input terminal of which is connected to the photodiode 22, and the output terminal of which is connected to the amplifier circuit 24. The filter circuit 23 is used to filter the reflected light signal output by the photodiode 22.
[0042] In one embodiment, the laser tachometer further includes:
[0043] An alarm circuit 27 is provided, the controlled terminal of which is connected to the main control circuit 26. The alarm circuit 27 is used to output a corresponding alarm signal during operation.
[0044] The main control circuit 26 is used to detect the rotational speed of the rotor 10 based on the reflected light signal output by the amplifier circuit 24, and to control the alarm circuit 27 to work based on the rotational speed of the rotor 10.
[0045] In this embodiment, the rotational speed detection circuit can be implemented using any rotational speed detection circuit capable of detecting the rotor speed 10, such as a laser emitter 21 and a photodiode 22; the laser emitter 21 can be implemented using any laser emitter 21 capable of emitting laser light, such as a laser. In this embodiment, the laser is provided with operating power through a power supply circuit, that is, the input power supply voltage is regulated to 3.3V by a voltage regulator, and then flows through a 100Ω current-limiting resistor to power the laser, so as to ensure that the laser can be powered on and operated normally.
[0046] In this embodiment, the trigger 25 can be implemented using a Schmitt trigger 25, and the main control circuit 26 can be implemented using an MCU, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), SOC (System On Chip), etc. As can be understood, the laser emitter 21 emits a laser light source to illuminate the rotor 10, and the laser light source is reflected by the reflective strip to illuminate the photodiode 22; the photodiode 22 receives the reflected light and converts the light signal into a voltage signal to output the reflected light signal; the reflected light signal is filtered and amplified by the filter circuit 23 and the amplifier circuit 24 and then sent to the trigger 25; the trigger 25 determines whether the level of the reflected light signal reaches the level threshold.

In addition, in this embodiment, the bias voltage of the photodiode 22 is increased by the bias circuit 28 to increase the response speed of the photodiode 22. Furthermore, the amplification factor of the amplifier circuit 24 is controlled by the main control circuit 26 to sample the noise signal in order to eliminate noise interference, thereby improving the response frequency of the laser tachometer to accurately measure the high-speed motor from 0 to 50,000 rpm.
[0047] In this embodiment, the alarm circuit 27 can be implemented using any alarm circuit 27 capable of outputting a corresponding alarm signal, such as a flashing light or a buzzer. Specifically, when the main control circuit 26 detects that the rotation speed is not within the preset rotation speed range, it controls the alarm circuit 27 to work and output an alarm signal to remind the staff that the high-speed motor speed is abnormal and that corresponding measures should be taken in time to improve safety.
[0048] This utility model laser tachometer provides a bias voltage to the photodiode 22 through the bias circuit 28 to improve the response speed of the photodiode 22; the main control circuit 26 adjusts the amplification rate of the amplifier circuit 24 according to the trigger signal output by the trigger 25 to eliminate noise until the effective signal conditions of the main control circuit 26 are met, and then detects the rotation speed of the rotor 10 according to the reflected light signal after filtering and amplification, thereby realizing the accurate measurement of the high-speed motor speed from 0 to 50,000 rpm.
