[0025] Please see Figure 4 Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Each Core Circuit Module 1. Power supply and power management circuit Function: Provides a stable and clean DC operating voltage, such as 3.3V or 5V, for the entire circuit system.

[0026] principle: Polarity protection: The input usually has a diode bridge rectifier to ensure that the internal circuit can work correctly regardless of the positive or negative power supply terminals.

[0027] Voltage regulation and filtering: The 24V circuit voltage is reduced to the operating voltage required by the MCU and operational amplifiers using an LDO or switching regulator chip. Extensive LC filter circuitry is included to suppress power supply noise.

[0028] Constant current characteristic: The core design principle of the entire circuit is that the total power consumption must be less than 3.8mA. Only when the output is 4mA can the normal operation of the two-wire circuit be guaranteed.

[0029] 2. Sensors and signal sensing circuits Pressure sensor: Core component: A piezoresistive MEMS silicon chip with a Wheatstone bridge integrated on it.

[0030] Principle: When pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the silicon chip deforms, causing the resistance values ​​of the four arms of the bridge to change, breaking the bridge balance and outputting a millivolt-level differential voltage signal, such as ~10mV / V, which is proportional to the pressure.

[0031] Temperature sensor: Component: Typically a platinum resistance thermometer (Pt100 / 1000) or a thermistor, mounted near the pressure chip.

[0032] Principle: Used for real-time monitoring of sensor temperature so that the MCU can perform high-precision temperature compensation for pressure and zero point.

[0033] 3. Analog signal conditioning circuit Instrumentation amplifier: Function: This is the core of the preamplifier. It is specifically designed to amplify the weak differential signal output from the pressure sensor and has an extremely high common-mode rejection ratio, effectively suppressing common-mode interference from the field.

[0034] Principle: Composed of multiple operational amplifier stages, providing high input impedance, low noise and high gain.

[0035] ADC: Function: Converts amplified analog voltage signals and temperature sensor signals into digital quantities for the MCU to read.

[0036] Principle: High-resolution Σ-Δ ADCs, such as 16-24 bit ADCs, are typically used. These ADCs are highly accurate and have strong anti-interference capabilities, making them very suitable for measuring slowly changing physical quantities.

[0037] 4. Digital Core and Processing Circuit MCU: Function: The brain of the entire instrument.

[0038] principle: Read the digital pressure and temperature values ​​from the ADC.

[0039] Calculation: Execute the firmware program stored in Flash.

[0040] Temperature compensation: Corrects pressure and zero-point temperature drift using pre-stored temperature profiles.

[0041] Linearization: Correcting the nonlinear error of the sensor.

[0042] Engineering conversion: Convert the pressure value to liquid level height using the formula h = P / (ρ * g).

[0043] Control: Managing outputs and communications.

[0044] 5. Output and Communication Circuits V / I conversion circuit: Function: The digital liquid level value calculated by the MCU is converted into an analog voltage by the DAC and then accurately converted into a loop current of 4-20mA.

[0045] Principle: This is a circuit composed of a precision operational amplifier and transistors. It samples the current in the loop and compares it with the reference voltage output by the DAC. Through negative feedback, it controls the conduction level of the transistors, thereby precisely controlling the loop current.

[0046] HART modem: Function: To enable digital communication.

[0047] Principle: When communication is required, the HART chip modulates the digital commands (1 and 0) sent by the MCU into 1200Hz and 2200Hz FSK sine waves, which are then superimposed on the reference voltage of the V / I conversion circuit through a coupling circuit. Upon receiving data, the digital signal is demodulated from the loop and sent to the MCU.

[0048] In summary, this integrated urban flooding monitoring device, after installation, is placed in a low-lying area prone to water accumulation. When flooding occurs, the water level will gradually submerge the water level contacts from bottom to top. When the water level reaches the first water level contact 130, the alarm is triggered, and the backend system can monitor this information. Similarly, when the water level submerges the 2nd to 8th water level contacts, the device's backend system will immediately issue relevant alarms. As the water level continues to rise, the static pressure sensor 158 monitors the water level and remotely transmits the information to the outside world, thus enabling more accurate water level data acquisition.

[0049] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art. The installation methods between equipment are also the same as conventional installation methods in the prior art. For example, the two ends of the shaft-shaped parts are connected by bearings, the connection position of the valve component is provided with anti-leakage rubber strips, the outside of the threaded rod or screw is provided with dust cover, and the equipment can be driven by either built-in battery or external power supply. The control method is automatic control by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. The external controller mentioned in the specification can play a control role for the electrical components mentioned in this article, and the external controller is a conventional known device.
