Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] To address the problem of signal interference in existing technologies under strong electromagnetic interference environments, this application provides a signal receiving control circuit that can prevent the control module from mistakenly receiving interference signals and improve the anti-interference capability of communication.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a signal receiving control circuit 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. This signal receiving control circuit 100 can be applied to various types of electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, televisions, and refrigerators.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the signal receiving control circuit 100 includes: a signal receiving module 101, a signal demodulation module 102, and a control module 103.

[0032] The output terminal of the signal receiving module 101 is connected to the input terminal of the signal demodulation module 102, and the output terminal of the signal demodulation module 102 is connected to the signal input terminal P2 of the control module 103.

[0033] The signal receiving module 101 is used to receive signals from outside the circuit and send the received signals to the signal demodulation module 102. The signal demodulation module 102 sends the demodulated signal to the control module 103.

[0034] The signal demodulation module 102 includes a signal preprocessing unit 1021 and a signal delay unit 1022. The input terminals of the signal preprocessing unit 1021 and the signal delay unit 1022 are both connected to the output terminal of the signal receiving module 101. The output terminals of the signal preprocessing unit 1021 and the signal delay unit 1022 are both connected to the signal input terminal P2 of the control module 103.

[0035] The control module 103 can be any type of electronic device with signal processing capabilities, such as MCU, DSP, etc.

[0036] The aforementioned signal preprocessing unit 1021 is used to directly transmit the signal received from the signal receiving module 101 to the control module 103. After receiving the signal, the control module 103 can switch from an idle state to a signal processing state. The aforementioned signal delay unit 1022 can delay the signal received from the signal receiving module 101 before transmitting it to the control module 103. The delay time can be set according to actual needs. After entering the signal processing state, the control module 103 can receive the signal to be processed from the signal delay unit 1022 and process the signal.

[0037] The aforementioned signal preprocessing unit 1021 can be implemented in various ways. For example, it may include a switching unit that can respond to the signal sent by the signal receiving module 101, connect the line between it and the control module 103, transmit the signal to the control module 103, and then have the control module 103 control the switching unit to disconnect, or have the switching unit actively disconnect.

[0038] The aforementioned signal delay unit 1022 can be implemented in various ways. For example, signal delay can be achieved by setting an RC delay circuit, or by setting up a device such as an MCU to implement signal transmission delay through a program.

[0039] The signal receiving control circuit provided in this application embodiment includes a signal receiving module 101, a signal demodulation module 102, and a control module 103. The signal demodulation module 102 includes a signal preprocessing unit 1021 and a signal delay unit 1022. The input terminals of both the signal preprocessing unit 1021 and the signal delay unit 1022 are connected to the output terminal of the signal receiving module 101, and the output terminals of both are connected to the signal input terminal P2 of the control module 103. The signal preprocessing unit 1021 directly transmits the received signal to the control module 103, while the signal delay unit 1022 transmits the received signal to the control module 103 after a delay period. This allows the signal preprocessing unit 1021 to first instruct the control module 103 to prepare to receive a signal, the control module 103 to enter the signal processing state, and then the subsequent signals to be processed are received from the signal delay unit 1022. Because the control module 103 needs to receive the signal sent by the signal preprocessing unit 1021 before it can receive the signal to be processed, it avoids the control module 103 from mistakenly receiving interference signals in a strong electromagnetic interference environment, thus improving the anti-interference capability of communication. The control module 103 can avoid performing any signal processing before receiving the signal sent by the signal preprocessing unit 1021, thereby saving energy.

[0040] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal preprocessing unit 1021 includes a level converter 10211 and a relay 10212. The input terminal of the level converter 10211 is connected to the output terminal of the signal receiving module 101, and the output terminal of the level converter 10211 is connected to the first contact of the relay 10212 and the trigger input terminal P1 of the control module 103.

[0041] The level converter 10211 is used to convert the level of the signal received from the signal receiving module 101. The level-converted signal can be detected by the control module 103 through the trigger input terminal P1, thereby causing the control module 103 to make a corresponding response.

[0042] For example, the level converter 10211 can be an inverter. When the signal receiving module 101 receives a valid signal, it sends a high-level signal to the level converter 10211. The level converter 10211 converts the high-level signal to a low-level signal, which is then transmitted to the trigger input P1 of the control module 103. After detecting this low-level signal, the control module 103 can send a control signal to the coil of the relay 10212.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, the second contact of relay 10212 is connected to the signal input terminal P2 of control module 103. One end of the coil in relay 10212 is connected to a preset level, and the other end is connected to the control terminal P3 of control module 103. Typically, to ensure that signal input terminal P2 remains stable at a high level when no signal is received, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a pull-up resistor for the second contact can be set.

[0044] After the control module 103 detects the signal output by the level converter 10211 through the trigger input terminal P1, it can output a control signal to the coil of the relay 10212 through the control terminal P3. The relay 10212 then connects its first and second contacts, and the level-converted signal is sent to the signal input terminal P2 of the control module 103 via the second contact. Upon receiving the level-converted signal from the signal input terminal P2, the control module 103 enters the signal processing state. Subsequently, it can further send a disconnect signal to the relay 10212 through the control terminal P3, disconnecting the connection between the first and second contacts of the relay 10212, and continue to receive the signal to be processed from the signal delay unit 1022 from the signal input terminal P2.

[0045] The preset levels mentioned above can be set arbitrarily according to actual needs. For example, Figure 2 The preset level shown is a high level VCC. After the control module 103 detects the signal after the level conversion through the trigger input terminal P1, it sends a low level signal to the coil of the relay 10212 to energize the coil, thereby connecting the first contact and the second contact.

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting up a level converter 10211 and a relay 10212, the control module 103 can detect the level of the signal output by the level converter 10211 in real time. After detecting a level change, it controls the relay 10212 to close, so that the signal output by the level converter 10211 can be used as a state transition control signal. The control module 103 can quickly enter the signal processing state based on this signal and wait for the signal delay circuit to send the signal to be processed, thereby improving the state switching efficiency of the control module 103.

[0047] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the level shifter 10211 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a transistor T1. The transistor T1 can be of various types and can function as a switch. For example, the transistor T1 can be... Figure 3 The transistor T1 shown is an NPN transistor. Alternatively, this transistor T1 can also be a field-effect transistor, etc.

[0048] One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the output terminal of the signal receiving module 101, and the other end is connected to the control terminal of the transistor T1. The control terminal of the transistor T1 can be used as the signal input terminal P2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the control terminal is the base of the transistor.

[0049] The first controlled terminal of transistor T1 is connected to the second resistor R2 and the first contact of relay 10212. The second controlled terminal of transistor T1 is connected to the low-level terminal (e.g., ground terminal GND). The other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the high-level terminal (e.g., VCC).

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the first controlled terminal of transistor T1 is the collector of the transistor, which is simultaneously connected to the first contact of relay 10212 and the trigger input terminal P1 of control module 103; the second controlled terminal of transistor T1 is the emitter, which is connected to ground. When signal receiving module 101 receives a valid signal, it can output a high-level signal to transistor T1, and the first and second controlled terminals of transistor T1 are connected. The first controlled terminal is at a low level, and the trigger input terminal P1 of control module 103 and the first contact of relay 10212 are also at a low level.

[0051] In this embodiment, a current-limiting resistor and a transistor T1 are used to form a level converter 10211. The level converter 10211 has a simple and effective structure, which helps to simplify the circuit structure, improve the circuit configuration efficiency, and reduce the circuit cost.

[0052] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the signal delay unit 1022 includes a delay comparator 10221, an input buffer 10222, and an output buffer 10223.

[0053] The input terminal of the input buffer 10222 is connected to the output terminal of the signal receiving module 101, and the output terminal of the input buffer 10222 is connected to the first input terminal of the delay comparator.

[0054] The input buffer 10222 can stabilize the signal level sent by the signal receiving module 101 at a fixed level, thereby improving the circuit's anti-interference capability. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, the input buffer 10222 can be a voltage follower.

[0055] The second input terminal of the delay comparator 10221 is connected to the reference voltage terminal Vref, and the output terminal of the delay comparator 10221 is connected to the input terminal of the output buffer 10223.

[0056] The output terminal of the output buffer 10223 is connected to the signal input terminal P2 of the control module 103.

[0057] The aforementioned delay comparator 10221 is used to compare the level of the signal to be processed input to the input buffer 10222 with the level of the reference signal input to the reference voltage terminal. If the level of the signal to be processed is higher than the level of the reference signal, the delay comparator 10221 outputs a high level after a delay; if the level of the signal to be processed is lower than the level of the reference signal, the delay comparator 10221 outputs a low level after a delay.

[0058] The delay time of the delay comparator 10221 can be set. For example, the delay time can be adjusted by adjusting the RC time constant within the delay comparator 10221.

[0059] The aforementioned output buffer 10223 can stabilize the signal level output by the delay comparator 10221 at a fixed level, thereby improving the circuit's anti-interference capability. For example, as Figure 5 As shown, the output buffer 10223 can be configured as an inverter. The inverter can invert the signal output by the delay comparator 10221, so that the signal level output by the signal delay unit 1022 is consistent with the signal level output by the relay 10212.

[0060] This embodiment sets up a signal delay unit 1022 by configuring a delay comparator 10221, an input buffer 10222, and an output buffer 10223. This enables the signal level of the signal output by the signal delay unit 1022 to be more stable on the basis of delaying the output of the signal from the signal receiving module 101, thereby helping to further improve the anti-interference capability of the circuit.

[0061] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the delay comparator 10221 includes an operational amplifier U1, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a capacitor C.

[0062] One end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the output of the input buffer 10222, and the other end is connected to the non-inverting input of operational amplifier U1. One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the non-inverting input of operational amplifier U1, and the other end is connected to the output of operational amplifier U1. Capacitor C is connected in parallel with the fourth resistor R4.

[0063] The inverting input of operational amplifier U1 is connected to the reference voltage terminal, and the output of operational amplifier U1 is connected to the input of output buffer 10223.

[0064] The aforementioned third resistor R3, fourth resistor R4, and capacitor C can form an RC delay circuit. By adjusting the resistance and capacitance values, the delay time from input to output can be adjusted. The voltage difference between the positive input terminal and the reference voltage input to the inverting input terminal of operational amplifier U1 is amplified and outputs a voltage of a set magnitude.

[0065] This embodiment achieves stable output after a delay of the input signal by setting up an operational amplifier, resistors, and capacitors. The circuit has a simple structure, stable signal transmission, and the delay time can be flexibly adjusted, which helps to simplify the circuit structure and improve the stability of circuit operation.

[0066] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the signal receiving module 101 includes a photoelectric signal conversion unit 1011. The optical signal connection terminal of the photoelectric signal conversion unit 1011 is connected to an externally accessed optical fiber, and the electrical signal output terminal of the photoelectric signal conversion unit is connected to the input terminal of the signal demodulation module 102.

[0067] In this embodiment, the signal receiving module 101 can not only receive signals from the outside, but also transmit signals to the outside. When receiving a signal, the photoelectric signal conversion unit receives the optical signal from the optical fiber, converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then sends the electrical signal to the signal demodulation module 102. When transmitting a signal, the photoelectric signal conversion unit can receive the electrical signal to be transmitted from the signal output terminal of the control module 103, convert the electrical signal into an optical signal, and then transmit it to the target device through the optical fiber.

[0068] This embodiment, by setting a photoelectric signal conversion unit in the signal receiving module 101 and transmitting and receiving signals through optical fiber, can effectively avoid electromagnetic interference during the transmission of electrical signals, thereby improving the stability of signal transmission.

[0069] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an inter-controller communication system 700 provided in an embodiment of this application. The inter-controller communication system specifically includes a communication fault detector 701 and at least two controllers 702, with each controller connected to the communication fault detector 701 and the at least two controllers 702. Each of the at least two controllers 702 includes the signal receiving control circuit described in the above embodiments.

[0070] Each of at least two controllers 702 is connected to at least one other controller, and each of the at least two controllers 702 sends a detection signal to the communication fault detector 701 while sending a detection signal to the other controller.

[0071] like Figure 7The system shown includes three controllers, namely controller A, controller B, and controller C. Each controller is connected to the communication fault detector 701 and to at least one other controller. When any controller triggers a communication fault detection condition, it can simultaneously send detection signals to the other controllers connected to it and the communication fault detector 701.

[0072] The communication fault detector 701 is used to execute the above-described inter-controller communication fault detection method. Specifically, after any controller sends a detection signal to the detector in the communication diagram, the communication fault detector 701 uses that controller as the target controller and can perform the following steps: In an idle state, in response to detecting a change in the output level of the signal preprocessing unit, it receives a preprocessed signal sent by the signal preprocessing unit from the signal input terminal; in response to completing the reception of the preprocessed signal, it switches the current state from the idle state to the signal processing state; and it receives the signal to be processed from the signal delay unit included in the signal receiving control circuit.

[0073] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after receiving a detection signal from another controller, any controller can perform a self-test based on a relevant self-test method without needing to send feedback information to other controllers. The communication fault detector 701 determines whether the target controller has experienced a communication fault based on the feedback information.

[0074] The controller communication system provided in this application embodiment, by setting the above-mentioned signal receiving control circuit in the controller, can improve the system's anti-electromagnetic interference capability, while a third-party communication fault detector can detect communication faults in each controller, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of communication fault detection and quickly locate the controller that has a communication fault, thus helping to respond quickly to the fault.
