The filter amplifier circuit consists of a first-stage amplifier circuit, a second-stage amplifier circuit, and a filter circuit. The amplifier circuit adopts a two-stage amplification design. The first stage is a low-noise operational amplifier circuit, used to initially amplify the weak signal output by the torque sensor.

[0021] The working process for this application is as follows: During the operation of the roller shutter door, the motor body drives the roller shutter door to rise and fall through the transmission mechanism. A torque sensor monitors the torque changes of the motor output shaft in real time and transmits the signal to a filtering and amplification circuit. This circuit filters and amplifies the torque signal before transmitting it to the controller. The controller receives the processed torque signal. When the torque sensor detects an abnormal torque (such as the motor encountering an obstacle), the controller receives the abnormal signal and sends a control signal to the reversing drive device. The electromagnetic brake in the reversing drive device is released, and the motor driver, under the control of the controller, drives the motor to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the roller shutter door to retract a certain distance. This achieves automatic reversal protection when encountering an obstacle. Furthermore, when the motor encounters an obstacle, the controller activates an audible and visual alarm to alert the user. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the motor windings in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the controller. When the motor windings overheat, the controller forces the motor to stop and triggers an alarm to prevent the motor from burning out.

[0022] By monitoring the torque changes of the motor output shaft in real time through a torque sensor, the system can accurately determine whether the motor is encountering an obstruction, thus improving the safety and reliability of the roller shutter motor. When the motor encounters an obstruction, the reversing drive device can promptly drive the motor to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the roller shutter to retract a certain distance, avoiding motor overload damage and potential safety accidents. The controller can be flexibly adjusted according to preset torque thresholds to adapt to the needs of different roller shutter systems. The alarm device can emit audible and visual alarm signals when an obstruction is encountered, reminding the user to take timely action, further improving the safety of using the roller shutter.

For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of the present utility model.
