[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0021] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses an oil water content analyzer. The technical solution adopted includes a housing 1, a front panel 2 mounted on the housing 1, and a microcontroller (HWD32F407LQFP144) control circuit inside. The peripheral circuits of the microcontroller control circuit include a power supply circuit, a signal output circuit, and an RS485 communication circuit. Figure 6 As shown, the power supply circuit includes an AC220V-DC12V switching power supply. The front end of the AC220V-DC12V switching power supply is connected to the power switch 4 and the power interface, while the rear end connects to the filter circuit and the first isolation module. The first isolation module is a DC / DC isolation module connected to the microcontroller control circuit. The RS485 communication circuit is connected to the second isolation module and then to the microcontroller control module. The first isolation module is also connected to the second isolation module. The RS485 communication circuit connects to the measurement interface and the master-slave interface. The master-slave interface is an RS485 interface. The measurement interface has a live wire, a neutral wire, and an RS485 communication line. The RS485 communication circuit is connected to the RS485 communication line, and the live wire and neutral wire are connected to the power supply circuit. The signal output circuit connects to the touchscreen, the alarm 5, and the USB data interface. A USB controller is also connected between the USB data interface and the peripheral circuit of the microcontroller control circuit. To protect the components, the USB data interface is designed with overcurrent protection and ESD protection. The overcurrent protection uses a SY6282ACC chip, which is connected between the VBUS pin of the USB data interface and the system power supply. Its enable pin is pulled down to ground through a 10kΩ resistor, and the overcurrent threshold is set to 2.5A±10%. The ESD protection uses a PRTR5V0U2X-ES dual diode array. Its I / O1 and I / O2 pins are connected to the D+ and D- signal lines of the USB data interface, respectively, and the GND pin is connected to the PCB main ground plane through a star-shaped grounding copper foil.
[0022] The power interface, USB data interface and measurement interface are all located on the casing 1, while the touch screen, power switch 4 and alarm 5 are located on the front panel 2. The alarm 5 is a combination of a buzzer and a red LED light, which can provide audible and visual alarm.
[0023] To store alarm information, the microcontroller's SPI communication pin is connected to an HWD25Q128AASESOP8 flash memory chip, with a storage capacity of at least 16 million records, meeting the requirements for long-term historical data storage. Areas within the flash memory chip are designated for storing alarm records. Each time an alarm occurs, the alarm time, the moisture content at the time of the alarm, and equipment status information are recorded in these storage areas. Users can export the alarm records using storage devices such as USB flash drives.
[0024] To obtain accurate time information, the microcontroller control circuit is also connected to a clock circuit module: this integrated RTC clock module provides precise time information and adds timestamps to each detection data and alarm record, ensuring the time traceability of the data. Furthermore, the RTC clock circuit is connected to a backup battery, ensuring accurate timekeeping even when the device is powered off, with a time accuracy error not exceeding ±80 seconds per month.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective cover 3 is hinged to the front panel 2 to protect the touchscreen. To prevent excessive impact force on the front panel 2 when the protective cover 3 is closed, which could cause collision and damage to the device, a damping hinge is used at the hinge 6 between the front panel 2 and the protective cover 3. The fixed end of the damping hinge is connected to the front panel 2, and the main body of the hinge is connected to the protective cover 3. To maintain a stable closed state after the protective cover 3 is closed, a slot 7 is provided at the free end of the protective cover 3. A limiting mechanism 8 is provided on the front panel 2, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the limiting mechanism 8 includes a limiting housing 801, in which a sliding cavity is formed. There are slide tracks on both sides of the sliding cavity. The end near the protective cover 3 is connected to the outside through a connecting port. A groove is formed on the top surface, which connects the sliding cavity to the outside. A limiting pin 802 slides in contact with the sliding cavity. The limiting pin 802 is a T-shaped structure, including a pin body 8021. A lever 8022 is provided on the top surface of the pin body 8021. Slider blocks 8023 are provided on both sides of the pin body 8021. The lever 8022 slides in the groove, and the slider 8023 slides in contact with the groove. After the end of the slider 8023 slides out of the sliding cavity, it enters the slot 7 to limit the protective cover 3. In order to maintain the limiting state, a spring 803 is press-fitted between the slider 8023 and the end of the groove.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model:

The measuring sensor is plugged into the measuring interface, the power interface is connected to a 220V AC power source, the power switch is turned on, and the sensor is placed in the sample for detection. Detection information is obtained by observing the host computer or touchscreen, and the detection results are stored in the flash memory chip. If the touch screen needs to be operated, toggle block 8022 to move limit pin 802 away from protective cover 3, spring 803 is compressed, limit pin 802 disengages from slot 7, rotate protective cover 3 to expose touch screen, release limit pin 802, operate touch screen, limit pin 802 resets under the action of spring 803, after operation, toggle limit pin 802 again to fasten protective cover 3, the damping shaft at hinge 6 can slow down the fastening speed of protective cover 3 to prevent impact, after fastening, release limit pin 802, pin body 8021 of limit pin 802 inserts into slot 7 to limit protective cover 3.
