[0018] The following describes the embodiments in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise stated. The embodiments described in the following examples do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the present application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application, as detailed in the claims.

[0019] Due to its excellent permeability, extremely low frequency waves are used for tracking and positioning of movement in a pipeline, flaw detection, thickness measurement, and detection of movement trajectory, etc. For example, when performing tracking and positioning of movement in a pipeline, a robot in the pipeline moves continuously, and a signal transmitter attached to the robot transmits an extremely low frequency single-frequency magnetic field signal, which can penetrate the metal pipeline and the soil layer and reach the signal receiver on the ground. Although the permeability characteristics of the extremely low frequency signal are fully utilized to realize the conversion and analysis of the magnetic field intensity into an electric signal, the above application cannot realize two-way communication between inside and outside in a shielded area during work.

[0020] In order to solve the above problems, in a first aspect, the present application provides an extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave full-duplex magnetic sensing device, and FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an antenna module of the extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave full-duplex magnetic sensing device. As shown in FIG. 1, the extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave full-duplex magnetic sensing device according to the present application includes a controller, a first antenna module, and a second antenna module. In the present application, the first antenna module is 1#, the second antenna module is 2#, and for convenience of understanding, the controller and the antenna module of FIG. 1 are used as a master station to communicate with a slave station. In addition, the extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave full-duplex magnetic sensing device can also be used as a slave station to communicate with the master station.

[0021] The first antenna module and the second antenna module include an excitation unit, a mutual induction unit, a coil, a magnetic core, and a shield layer, and the controller is connected to the excitation unit of the first antenna module and the excitation unit of the second antenna module; Magnetic The core is provided inside the coil, and the coil is provided inside the shield layer. In order to increase the magnetic flux density of the coil, Magnetic In this embodiment, a core is provided. Magnetic The core material is permalloy. The coil of the first antenna module 1# and the coil of the second antenna module 2# are provided with a shield layer on their exteriors, and the shield layer is made of a high magnetic permeability material, which can prevent mutual interference between the magnetic lines of force of the coils 1# and 2# whose axial directions are perpendicular, thereby achieving the purpose of magnetic shielding. In this embodiment, the material of the shield layer is also permalloy. In order to minimize interference of the magnetic circuits between the two coils, the coil of the first antenna module and the coil of the second antenna module are arranged so that their central axes are perpendicular to each other.

[0022] The excitation unit and the mutual induction unit are respectively connected to the coil so that the first antenna module and the second antenna module are in an asynchronous excitation state or an asynchronous mutual induction state. As shown in FIG. 1, the excitation unit of the first antenna module includes a pull-up resistor R1, a voltage follower consisting of an operational amplifier (op-amp) U_1, a gate resistor Rg5, a gate-source resistor Rgs7, a gate-source resistor Rgs9, and an NMOS transistor VT1 for driving the upper arm. The pull-up resistor R1 is for initializing the logic state to "1" to ensure the accuracy of the excitation and mutual induction state, the voltage follower consisting of the operational amplifier U_1 provides high input resistance and low output resistance so that the front and rear stages are reliably related, the gate resistor Rg5 and the gate-source resistor Rgs7 obtain the switching signal of the NMOS transistor VT3 for driving the upper arm after dividing the voltage, and the gate-source resistor Rgs9 and the NMOS transistor VT1 for driving the upper arm jointly control the switching of the PMOS transistor VT2.

[0023] The excitation unit of the second antenna module includes a pull-up resistor R2, an inverting amplifier consisting of an operational amplifier U_2 and resistors R3 and Rf4, a gate resistor Rg6, a gate-source resistor Rgs8, a gate-source resistor Rgs10, and an upper arm driving NMOS transistor VT4. The pull-up resistor R2 initializes the logic state to "0" to ensure the accuracy of the excitation and mutual induction state, the inverting amplifier amplifies and inverts the input signal for output, the gate resistor Rg6 and the gate-source resistor Rgs8 obtain the switching signal for the upper arm driving NMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor VT6 after dividing the voltage, and the gate-source resistor Rgs10 and the upper arm driving NMOS transistor VT4 jointly control the switching of the PMOS transistor VT5.

[0024] The first antenna module and the second antenna module further include a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor, and the PMOS transistor, the NMOS transistor, and the coil form a half-bridge excitation circuit, and the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor are used to control the coil. The half-bridge structure is a structure in which two power switching elements (e.g., MOS transistors, etc.) are connected in a totem pole shape, and a square wave signal is output from the midpoint. As shown in FIG. 1, the PMOS transistor VT2 and the NMOS transistor VT3 are half-bridge excitation interlock switches for the 1# coil, and the PMOS transistor VT5 and the NMOS transistor VT6 are half-bridge excitation interlock switches for the 2# coil. The NMOS transistors VT1 and VT4 are drive switches for the upper arms of the half-bridge excitation circuits for the 1# and 2# coils, respectively.

[0025] The coils of the first antenna module and the second antenna module can be connected to two outlet terminals to form a mutual induction unit. The mutual induction unit outputs V1+, V1- which are mutual induction voltage signals of coil 1#, and V2+, V2- which are mutual induction voltage signals of coil 2#.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first antenna module and the second antenna module further include an excitation current detection module and an analog-to-digital conversion module. The excitation current detection module is connected to the excitation unit of the first antenna module and the excitation unit of the second antenna module, respectively. The excitation current detection module detects the excitation current of each coil in real time through floating measurement, and can realize the controllability of the excitation current of each coil. As shown in FIG. 1, the excitation current detection module of coil #1, which is composed of an operational amplifier U_3, a resistor R11, a capacitor C1, and a floating point FG1, and the excitation current detection module of coil #2, which is composed of an operational amplifier U_4, a resistor R12, a capacitor C2, and a floating point FG2, convert the excitation current signal of each coil into a voltage signal and output it to the analog-to-digital conversion module.

[0027] The analog-to-digital conversion module is for performing mutual conversion between analog signals and digital signals. Taking the conversion from analog signals to digital signals as an example, the analog-to-digital conversion module can collect analog signals and quantize them into digital signals encoded as binary. The linear optocoupler is a photocoupler device for isolating analog signals, and can offset the nonlinearity of the pass-through path by the nonlinearity of the feedback path to achieve the purpose of linear isolation. As shown in FIG. 1, the voltage signal converted by the excitation current detection module of the above-mentioned first antenna module passes through resistor R13, linear optocoupler_OP1 and pull-up resistor R15 to be converted into a digital signal with GND (ground) as the reference point, and input to the controller digital signal input interface AI_0. The floating point FG1 is electrically connected to the outlet terminal of the 1# coil and serves as the reference ground of the power supply VC5-1. The voltage signal converted by the excitation current detection module of the second antenna module passes through resistor R14, linear photocoupler_OP2 and pull-up resistor R16 to be converted into a digital signal with GND as the reference point, and input to the controller digital signal input interface AI_1. The floating point FG2 is electrically connected to the outlet terminal of coil 2#, and serves as the reference ground of the power supply VC5-2.

[0028] After receiving the digital signal, the controller can determine whether the excitation current value exceeds a preset current threshold, and if the excitation current is equal to or greater than the current threshold, control the excitation unit to stop generating the excitation current signal to prevent excessive current from flowing through the coil, causing the coil to overheat and burn out.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, the first antenna module and the second antenna module further include magnetic reset diodes, Df1 and Df2 being magnetic reset diodes for coils 1# and 2#, respectively. The magnetic reset diode Df1 is connected in parallel with coil 1#, and the magnetic reset diode Df2 is connected in parallel with coil 2#, thereby completing a magnetic reset when the coils are switched between an excited state and a mutual induction state.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first antenna module and the second antenna module further include a dual frequency selective filter module and a clock reference module. The mutual induction units of the first antenna module and the second antenna module are connected to the controller through the dual frequency selective filter module and the clock reference module in turn. The dual frequency selective filter module can select and amplify the frequency of the signal received by the mutual induction coil, and the extremely low frequency (ELF) of each coil does not overlap, which makes subsequent software analysis easier. The center frequency is defined as the midpoint between both 3 dB points of the band pass filter and is denoted as the arithmetic mean. The dual frequency selective filter module includes a first antenna module filter module and a second antenna module filter module, the first antenna module filter module is for arranging a first mutual induction frequency band in the first antenna module and includes a frequency selection point of a first center frequency and a frequency selection point of a second center frequency, and the second antenna module filter module is for arranging a second mutual induction frequency band in the second antenna module and includes a frequency selection point of a third center frequency and a frequency selection point of a fourth center frequency.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a frequency selective amplification unit. As shown in FIG. 2, a first resistor R1_i, a second resistor R2_i, a third resistor R3_i, a first capacitor C1_i, a second capacitor C2_i and an operational amplifier U1_i constitute a frequency selection point of a first center frequency, and a fourth resistor R4_i, a fifth resistor R5_i, a sixth resistor R6_i, a third capacitor C3_i, a fourth capacitor C4_i and an operational amplifier U2_i constitute a frequency selection point of a second center frequency.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a frequency selective amplification network. FIG. 2 is a frequency selective amplification unit located in the dotted frame of FIG. 3, and the dotted frame part of FIG. 3 is a dual frequency selective filter module. The frequency selective amplification unit of FIG. 2 is one stage, and the mutual induction voltage signals V1+, V1- output by the coil of 1# in FIG. 1 are cascaded from STAGE1-1 to STAGE1-N in FIG. 3 to obtain the frequency selection point of the first center frequency and the frequency selection point of the second center frequency, and then are corrected through the clock reference module composed of resistors Rc1-1, Rc1-2 and comparator CMP_1 to obtain the output signal Vout1, and then sent to the controller. The mutual induction voltage signals V2+ and V2- output by the coil 2# are passed through the cascade connection from STAGE2-1 to STAGE2-N in Fig. 3 to obtain the frequency selection point of the third center frequency and the frequency selection point of the fourth center frequency, and then are corrected through the clock reference module consisting of resistors Rc2-1, Rc2-2 and comparator CMP_2 to obtain the output signal Vout2, which is then sent to the controller. The clock reference module is a transitional component between the dual frequency selection filter module and the interface of the controller to suppress common mode interference in the circuit.

[0033] The controller can be set to include two working states of the first antenna module and the second antenna module, namely, the first antenna module and the second antenna module are set to be in an asynchronous excitation state, or the first antenna module and the second antenna module are set to be in an asynchronous mutual induction state. This driving method is full-duplex driving.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first antenna module and the second antenna module are set to an asynchronous excitation state or an asynchronous mutual induction state. The controller is configured to control the first antenna module so that the first antenna module is in an excitation state, and after performing a time delay by phase shifting, control the second antenna module so that the second antenna module is in an excitation state, obtain data to be transmitted, convert the data to be transmitted into an excitation signal according to an encoding rule of an extremely low frequency pulse sequence for representing the data to be transmitted and received data based on a symbol envelope and a pulse sequence, transmit the excitation signal to the excitation unit of the first antenna module and the second antenna module to generate an excitation current signal in the coil of the first antenna module and the second antenna module, receive an induction signal, which is a signal generated by induction of the coil of the first antenna module and the second antenna module, by the coil of the first antenna module and the second antenna module, perform clock correction on the induction signal, and analyze the corrected induction signal to obtain the received data. This can realize two-way data transmission.

[0035] In order to better explain the present technical configuration, the concept of a slave station is used in the following description, and the slave station has the same configuration as the master station, and is composed of a controller, a first antenna module, and a second antenna module. The first antenna module of the slave station is 1#, and the second antenna module is 2#. In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the sensing signal and maximize the sensing distance, the 1# of the master station and the 1# of the slave station, and the 2# of the master station and the 2# of the slave station are made as parallel as possible. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the communication between the master station and the slave station, and after the controller sends a digital signal, two-way communication between the master station and the slave station can be performed.

[0036] In the master station, the digital signal sent by the controller is converted into two excitation signals, 1# excitation_Vt1+ and 2# excitation_Vt2+. The 1# excitation signal has no voltage change after passing through the voltage follower composed of the operational amplifier U_1. The 2# excitation signal has its logic inverted after passing through the inverting proportional amplifier. Vref is the reference voltage and can be 2.5V. The coil excitation signal between the master station 1# and the slave station 1# and the coil excitation signal between the master station 2# and the slave station 2# are controller-linked (or software-linked), and the mutual exclusion of the read and write states between the master station and the slave station is realized, and the collision between read and write caused by the transmission delay is resolved by increasing the dead band. The excitation time sequence between coil 1# of the master station and coil 2# of the master station and the excitation time sequence between coil 1# of the slave station and coil 2# of the slave station are controlled by phase shift, that is, the excitation enable of coil 2# is controlled by using the switching time point of the frequency of the 1# coil excitation signal.

[0037] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the generation of an extremely low frequency excitation sequence and the identification of a pulse sequence. In order to obtain the phase shift relationship of the circled numbers 1 and 4 in FIG. 5, it is necessary to execute the following phase shift control. Set "master station 1# write W" to the state 1, and change the frequency of "master station 1# write W" from f1 to f2, where f1 and f2 correspond to two frequencies in the frequency band of 1#, for example, f1 is 27Hz and f2 is 30Hz. Set "master station 2# write W" to the state 1, and change the frequency of "master station 2# write W" from f3 to f4, where f3 and f4 correspond to two frequencies in the frequency band of 2#, for example, f3 is 20Hz and f4 is 23Hz. By phase shifting, the transmission and reception frequencies of coils 1# and 2# in the same extremely low frequency (ELF) sensing device can be controlled to always be different, and by having a short excitation overlap time and a magnetic shield outer layer for the coils, the occurrence of co-channel interference by the two coils in the master station can be avoided. The antenna is in a mutual induction state when in a read state, and in an excitation state when in a write state.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 5, the frequency selection point of the first center frequency is reflected in the process of circle number 1 and circle number 4, which is the first half of the period of the write state of the coil 1# of the master station and the coil 2# of the master station in FIG. 5, respectively, and the corresponding frequencies are f1=27Hz and f3=20Hz, respectively. The frequency selection point of the second center frequency is reflected in the process of circle number 2 and circle number 5, which is the second half of the period of the write state of the coil 1# of the master station and the coil 2# of the master station in FIG. 5, respectively, and the corresponding frequencies are f2=30Hz and f4=23Hz, respectively. When each coil works in mutual induction mode, the matching filter modules are also different from each other, specifically reflected in the center frequency and bandwidth of the filter modules. The voltage signals output from the two sets of dual frequency selection filter modules pass through the clock reference module for correction to eliminate the common mode interference in the circuit, and then finally input into the universal input interface of the controller.

[0039] Master station 1# and slave station 1# and master station 2# and slave station 2# need to use two different extremely low frequency (ELF) frequency bands, such as 27-30Hz and 20-23Hz, respectively, and for further distinction, as shown in Figure 5, in the waveform of master station 1#, circle number 1 uses 27Hz, circle number 2 uses 30Hz, and in the waveform of master station 2#, circle number 4 uses 20Hz, and circle number 5 uses 23Hz, so that the overlap area and frequency band difference of excitation between the coil of master station 1# and the coil of master station 2# are maximized, which is favorable for subsequent filtering and processing by the controller.

[0040] The master station and the slave station can be divided into four operating states, master station 1# write W state, slave station 1# write W state, master station 2# write W state, and slave station 2# write W state, according to the order of excitation and mutual induction of each coil of the master station and the slave station. Here, the master station 1# write W state and the slave station 1# write W state realize the interlocking by using a software protocol to ensure that one side between the master station and the slave station is in writing and the other side is in reading state, and the dead zone circle number 3 solves the delay problem when the slave station 1# reads the signal of the master station 1# write W state. The master station 2# write W state and the slave station 2# write W state realize the interlocking by using a software protocol to ensure that one side between the master station and the slave station is in writing and the other side is in reading state, and the dead zone circle number 6 solves the delay problem when the slave station 2# reads the signal of the master station 2# write W state.

[0041] Since the controller can only process digital signals, both the input signal and the output signal are digital signals, and in many cases, the size of the digital signal is expressed by a binary number with a finite number of bits. The encoding rule of the extremely low frequency pulse sequence is set in the controller, and the encoding rule of the extremely low frequency pulse sequence includes a symbol envelope and a pulse sequence, and the symbol envelope includes a leading symbol, a trailing symbol, a dead zone, and a data packet symbol.
