[0002] In differential scanning calorimeters, it is necessary to detect the temperature difference between the sample plate and the reference plate, and then convert it into a heat flux value. When measuring the temperature difference signal, it is easily affected by the operational amplifier input offset voltage and offset current, which leads to errors in the back-end measurement.
[0003] The existing solution uses an instrumentation amplifier for differential acquisition, and the offset voltage and offset current of the instrumentation amplifier are amplified and directly transmitted to the ADC for acquisition.
[0004] Existing technologies include an output voltage bias in ADC acquisition caused by the performance of the instrumentation amplifier itself. This bias affects the baseline of the differential scanning calorimeter, causing the baseline value to be greater than 0. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, this utility model proposes a differential scanning calorimeter thermocouple temperature difference detection circuit, which can solve the problem that the baseline of the differential scanning calorimeter is not near 0 due to the output voltage bias.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0011] The technical advantages of the differential scanning calorimeter thermocouple temperature difference detection circuit provided by this utility model are as follows: By setting connector DC2, external DC signals (S+ and S-) are introduced into the circuit to provide input signals for subsequent circuit processing; by setting operational amplifiers U2.1 and U2.2 to form a differential amplifier circuit, the input signal is initially amplified to increase the signal amplitude; by setting operational amplifier U14.1, the initially amplified input signal is further amplified; by setting operational amplifier U14.2, the preceding and following stage circuits are isolated, improving the circuit's load-carrying capacity.
[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the differential scanning calorimeter thermocouple temperature difference detection circuit of this utility model can be further improved as follows:
[0013] Furthermore, a capacitor C1 and a resistor R12 are connected in parallel between the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier U2.1, and the capacitor C1 and the resistor R12 form the feedback network of the operational amplifier U2.1; a capacitor C29 and a resistor R19 are connected in parallel between the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier U2.2, and the capacitor C29 and the resistor R19 form the feedback network of the operational amplifier U2.2.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting resistors R12 and R19, the feedback strength of the differential amplifier circuit can be set, which determines the DC gain and low-frequency gain of the operational amplifier; by setting capacitors C1 and C29, high-frequency signals can be suppressed, the high-frequency gain of the circuit can be limited, and the circuit can be prevented from generating self-excited oscillations in the high-frequency range.
[0015] Furthermore, the input filtering module includes a common-mode inductor L2, the two inputs of which are connected to the connector DC2, and the two outputs are respectively connected to a protection resistor R1 and a resistor R2; capacitors C26 and C27 are connected in parallel between the two output lines of the common-mode inductor L2.
[0016] Furthermore, the resistance of resistors R1 and R2 is 0, and the capacitances of capacitors C26 and C27 are the same.
[0017] Furthermore, the operational amplifiers U2.1 and U2.2 share the same power supply pin, as do the operational amplifiers U14.1 and U14.2; all operational amplifiers are connected to a 2.5V power supply.
[0018] Furthermore, the output filtering module includes two resistors R53 and R54 connected in series, and two capacitors C91 and C92 connected in parallel; resistor R53 is connected to the output terminal of operational amplifier U14.1, and resistor R54 is connected to the output terminal of operational amplifier U14.2; the two ends of capacitors C91 and C92 are respectively connected to resistors R53 and R54.
[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting resistors R53 and R54, impedance matching is achieved, signal reflection is reduced, and signal transmission efficiency is improved; by setting capacitors C91 and C92, high-frequency noise in the output signal is filtered out, ensuring the purity of the output signal.
[0020] Furthermore, both operational amplifier U2.1 and operational amplifier U2.2 are of model OPA2189IDR, and both operational amplifier U14.1 and operational amplifier U14.2 are of model TP5552-SR.
[0021] Furthermore, the connector DC2 is specifically a 2-pin connector with a pitch of 3.96mm.
[0022] Furthermore, the input filtering module also includes a capacitor C31, one end of which is connected to the resistor R2, and the other end is grounded.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the differential scanning calorimeter thermocouple temperature difference detection circuit provided by this utility model are as follows: When the input voltage is 0V, this solution can accurately detect that the differential voltage between the in-phase output and the negative-phase output is 0V. By setting dual operational amplifiers and ADC differential input, the influence of amplifier offset voltage and offset current on temperature difference signal acquisition is solved instead of instrumentation amplifier. This thermocouple temperature difference detection circuit can solve the problem in existing technologies where output voltage bias in ADC acquisition causes the differential scanning calorimeter baseline to be greater than 0.

The two differential signals are directly transmitted to the ADC with differential channel acquisition. The differential function of the ADC is used to solve the problem of non-zero baseline caused by offset voltage and offset current of the instrumentation amplifier.
[0051] First, the signal passes through a common-mode filter inductor to remove common-mode noise. Then, the positive and negative signals are amplified separately, passed through a low-pass filter, and then enter two followers. The outputs of the followers are then connected to the ADC. This means that the offset voltage and offset current of the amplifier connected to the positive terminal of the sensor will also appear at the negative terminal of the sensor. This is equivalent to converting the offset voltage and offset current of the amplifier into common-mode signals, which are then transmitted to the ADC in a differential form, thus eliminating their influence.
