Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intercom host technology, specifically to the Internet of Things intercom host adapter board circuit. Background Technology
[0002] As a core vertical transportation tool in high-rise buildings, the safe operation and emergency communication capabilities of elevators are directly related to passenger safety. Elevator intercom systems are crucial equipment for ensuring emergency communication. In emergencies such as elevator entrapment or malfunctions, passengers can establish real-time communication with the monitoring center, property management office, or rescue personnel through the intercom device inside the car. Therefore, stable, clear, and timely intercom functionality is a mandatory requirement of elevator safety standards. With the development of elevator technology and the increasing complexity of application scenarios, intercom systems have gradually revealed a series of technical shortcomings.
[0003] 1. System compatibility issues are prominent. Early elevator intercom systems primarily used analog signals, while in recent years, digital intercom systems, such as those using IP and bus protocols, have become mainstream due to their strong anti-interference capabilities and rich functionality. However, in practical applications, both old and new systems coexist. When upgrading older elevators, some analog equipment is retained, and different brands of equipment use different protocols. For example, the intercom host, car intercom units, and monitoring center platform may come from different manufacturers, resulting in inability for the devices to communicate directly. This necessitates frequent replacements of the entire system, leading to extremely high costs.
[0004] 2. The signal type does not match the transmission requirements. Analog signals are easily affected by electromagnetic interference during elevator operation, resulting in noise and disconnection during calls. Although digital signals are more resistant to interference, they require specific protocol support and cannot be directly connected to analog equipment.
[0005] 3. Regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. Elevator safety regulations in various countries clearly require intercom systems to have functions such as two-way communication, priority for emergency calls, and real-time connection with the monitoring center. Some regions also require integration with fire protection systems and public security emergency platforms, which places higher demands on the system's protocol compatibility and scalability, making it difficult for traditional single-function intercom devices to meet these requirements.

[0049] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0050] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0051] I. Core control chip: Embedded system circuit based on ML160 chip.
[0052] Core chip: U2 uses the ML160, which is a multi-functional main control / communication chip.
[0053] RF / Antenna: The ANT and matching circuits R13, C32, C33 and D2 are responsible for wireless signal transmission and reception, realizing the communication function.
[0054] Power supply and reset: VBAT power supply, combined with reset, enable and other pins, controls the chip to power on and restart.
[0055] Peripheral interfaces: including GPIO, serial port, and USB, which can be connected to external sensors, communication modules, storage devices, etc.
[0056] LED indicators: LED1, LED2 and transistor driver circuit are used for status display, such as working, communication, and abnormal status.
[0057] II. Host Interface Circuit: This circuit connects to the host motherboard for audio signals, serial communication, and power supply. The following is a description of its working principle and the function of each component:
[0058] 1. Interface and connection parts
[0059] J1: Serves as the interface for external connections, enabling signal and power transmission between external devices and this circuit. The pin definitions clearly define the different functional lines, such as audio input / output (MIC, SPK), serial communication (TXD, RXD), and power supply (VCC, 12V, GND).
[0060] D1: This is a rectifier diode, which prevents reverse power connection. When an external +12V power supply is connected, it ensures unidirectional current flow to power the circuit. If the power supply polarity is reversed, the diode will cut off, protecting subsequent circuits from reverse voltage damage.
[0061] +12V and GND: Provide the DC power required for the circuit to operate. GND is the common ground reference point for the circuit.
[0062] 2. Audio signal path (MIC microphone input, SPK speaker output)
[0063] Capacitors C1 to C4, with a capacitance of 1µF, are electrolytic or monolithic capacitors; C5 to C12, 33pF and 10pF, are small-capacity ceramic capacitors.
[0064] C1 to C4 are audio coupling capacitors, whose function is to block DC and pass AC. For the MIC input and SPK output signals, they block the DC component in the circuit, allowing only the audio AC signal to pass through, thus preventing DC from affecting the operation of the audio equipment, and at the same time achieving signal coupling transmission.
[0065] C5-C12: These are filter capacitors used to filter audio signals and remove high-frequency noise. 33pF and 10pF capacitors can filter out high-frequency interference in different frequency bands, resulting in a purer audio signal and ensuring audio quality.
[0066] Resistors R1 to R4: 0-ohm resistors mainly function as conductors here, used for connecting audio signal paths. They can also be used for debugging and jumper wiring during PCB routing. They also have certain current limiting and impedance matching auxiliary functions, facilitating flexible handling during circuit debugging and production.
[0067] Signal definitions: SW MIC N / P, SW SPK P / N, etc.: SW MIC N / P is the microphone differential input signal, and SW SPKP / N, etc. are the speaker differential output signals. Differential signal transmission can enhance anti-interference capability, improve audio signal transmission quality, and reduce the impact of external noise on audio.

[0069] This section is the serial communication line. TXD1 and RXD1 connect to the serial port of external devices via the J1 interface to achieve data transmission and reception. SW TXD and SW RXD are the converted serial port signals, which can be used to communicate with other serial port devices to transmit control commands, data, and other information. They are physically independent of the audio section and can work simultaneously without interfering with each other.

[0073] 2. Power supply and filtering section
[0074] SW USIM VDD: Power input line for the USIM card, providing power to the USIM card and ensuring the normal operation of the internal circuitry.
[0075] C13: Filter capacitor. Its function is to filter out high-frequency noise on the power line, making the power input to the USIM card cleaner and more stable, and avoiding voltage fluctuations from interfering with the normal operation of the card.
[0076] R5: Pull-up resistor. When the power path of the USIM card requires a stable level, it is pulled up to SW USIM VDD to ensure that the voltage at the VCC terminal is stable within a reasonable range. It can also limit the current to a certain extent and protect the circuit.
[0077] 3. Signal control and transmission section
[0078] R6, R7, and R8 are all current-limiting and matching resistors.
[0079] Current limiting: Limits the current on the SW USIM RST, SW USIM CLK, and SW USIM DATA lines to prevent excessive current from damaging the USIM card or interface.
[0080] Impedance matching: Makes the impedance of the signal transmission line more compatible with the USIM card and back-end circuitry, reduces signal reflection, improves signal transmission quality, and ensures accurate interaction of reset, clock, and data signals.
[0081] SW USIM RST: Reset signal, used to initialize the USIM card, put the card into the initial working state, and control the card's reset and wake-up process.
[0082] SW USIM CLK: Clock signal, providing a clock reference for USIM card communication. The internal circuitry of the card uses this clock cycle to transmit, receive, and process data, ensuring synchronized communication timing.
[0083] SW USIM DATA: Data signal, enabling bidirectional data transmission between the USIM card and external devices, including authentication information, communication data, etc.
[0084] 4. Protection and Filtering Auxiliary Section
[0085] D2~D5: Transient voltage suppression diodes. When a surge voltage occurs in the circuit, the diodes will quickly conduct, clamping the excessive voltage within a safe range and protecting the USIM card and back-end circuitry from high voltage damage.
[0086] C14 through C16 are all filter capacitors. The 33pF small-capacity capacitors mainly filter out high-frequency noise, further purifying the signal and reducing interference for high-frequency signal lines such as clock and data signals.
[0087] IV. Software Programming Circuit: This is the USB Type-C interface circuit, used to realize USB data transfer and power supply between devices, and to adapt to the Type-C interface specification. The following is an analysis of the core principles and component functions:
[0088] 1. Overall working principle
[0089] The circuit is built around the Type-C interface J3 and implements three core functions:
[0090] Power transmission: The SW VBUS introduces the power supply voltage, which is then transmitted to the connected devices via the VBUS pins A4 / A9, B5 / B9, etc. of the Type-C interface. C17 filters out high-frequency noise on the VBUS line to ensure stable power supply.
[0091] Data communication: SW USB DP / SW USB DM are USB differential data signals, which enable high-speed data transmission between devices through the DP and DM pins A6 / A7, B6 / B7 of the Type-C interface; the CC1 and CC2 pins A5 and B4 are used for protocol negotiation of the Type-C interface.
[0092] Protection and Matching: TVS diodes suppress static electricity and surge voltage, protecting the interface and back-end circuitry; R9 and R10 are pull-up and pull-down resistors, participating in USB device identification and signal matching to make data communication more stable.
[0093] 2. Functions of key components D6~D8
[0094] Function: Transient voltage suppression. When the circuit encounters abnormal high voltage such as electrostatic discharge or power surge, the TVS diode will quickly conduct, clamping the excessive voltage within a safe range and preventing high voltage from damaging the Type-C interface and downstream circuitry.
[0095] V. The voltage regulator circuit is a power conversion circuit based on the DC-DC converter chip H9118. The following describes the working principle of this circuit in stepping down 12V to VBAT 3.8V, and the function of each component:
[0096] 1. Overall Working Principle: This circuit utilizes the internal switching transistor of the H9118 chip for high-frequency switching. Through the energy storage and dissipation characteristics of the inductor and the filtering effect of the capacitor, combined with a feedback control mechanism, it stably steps down the 12V input voltage to a 3.8V output. The H9118 chip adjusts the on and off times of the internal switching transistor based on the voltage signal from the feedback pin, thereby regulating the output voltage.
[0097] 2. Working principle of each component
[0098] (1) H9118 chip U1, core component: It is the core chip of DC-DC step-down converter, which integrates switching transistors and control circuits. It regulates the output voltage by controlling the on and off time of the internal switching transistors. When the switching transistor is on, the current passes through the inductor to store energy; when the switching transistor is off, the inductor releases energy to maintain the output voltage.
[0099] Feedback regulation: The chip's FB pin is used to receive a feedback signal of the output voltage. By comparing it with the internal reference voltage of the chip, the chip automatically adjusts the duty cycle of the switching transistor to ensure that the output voltage is stable at the set value of 3.8V.
[0100] Enable control: The EN pin is the enable pin, which can control whether the chip works through components such as R14. When the EN pin is high, the chip works normally; when it is low, the chip enters a low-power standby state.
[0101] (2) L1, Energy Storage and Energy Conversion: During the conduction period of the switching transistor, the inductor stores energy. At this time, the current gradually increases, and the electrical energy is converted into magnetic energy and stored in the inductor. When the switching transistor is turned off, the magnetic energy in the inductor is converted into electrical energy, releasing energy to maintain the stability of the output current and help maintain the output voltage.
[0102] (3) C18 and C23, low-frequency filtering: Large-capacity electrolytic capacitors have good low-frequency characteristics and are used to filter out low-frequency ripple in the output voltage, making the output voltage smoother and more stable. C18 mainly filters the output 3.8V voltage, while C23 filters the input 12V voltage, reducing the impact of power input fluctuations on the circuit.
[0103] (4) C19, C20, C24, C25, high frequency filtering: ceramic capacitors have good impedance characteristics for high frequency signals, which can effectively filter out high frequency ripple and noise generated when the switching power supply is working, and further improve the purity of the output voltage.
[0104] (5) R14, Enable control: Connected to the EN pin of the chip, it is used to set the enable conditions of the chip. By cooperating with other circuits, it can realize the control of the chip's working state, such as undervoltage protection.
[0105] (6) R15, reserved function: can be reserved to meet the needs of different application scenarios. In some cases, soldering this resistor can change some parameters or functions of the circuit.
[0106] (7) R16 and R17, feedback voltage divider: These form a voltage divider circuit to sample the output voltage and feed the sampled voltage signal back to the FB pin of the chip. By adjusting the resistance values of these two resistors, the output voltage can be set. According to the voltage divider principle, VFB = VBAT * [R17 / (R16+R17)], the chip adjusts the duty cycle based on this feedback voltage to achieve a stable output of 3.8V.
