The emitter of the second triode Q3 is grounded, and the collector of the second triode Q3 is connected to the gate of the first MOSFET Q1 and reset module 901. After the microprocessor is powered on, its IO3 pin outputs high level rendering the conduction of the second triode for compensating the charging time of the capacitor C1.

In order to have a better understanding of the present invention, the working principle of the manual reset power loss protection circuit of the present invention is shown in the details of the combined FIG. 12:

Considering the temperature and humidity recorder as an example, as shown in FIG. 12, the VCC power supply terminal is the power supply system. The microprocessor can adopt MSP430 series chips, such as the MSP430F6736 chip. The chip has rich IO (such as the P port of the MSP430 chip) and has a good expansion performance, such as IO3 port.

When the reset key is pressed, the reset pin of the microprocessor RESET_MCU changes to low level, triggering the reset of the microprocessor. At the same time, the first MOSFET Q1, the first triode Q2, and the second MOSFET Q4 are all conducted. During the reset, the capacitor C1 is discharged sustaining the conduction of the first triode Q2, and the level of the IO1 port of the microprocessor is locked to sustain the power supply system, avoiding the power loss of the system. The charge stored in the capacitor C1 comes from the conduction of the first MOSFET Q1 when the reset key K1 is pressed. In the meanwhile, the VCC power supply system of the capacitor C1 is charged through the first diode D1.

In addition, when the reset key is pressed, the charge provided by the capacitor C1 is not sufficient to sustain the power consumed by the conduction of the first transistor Q2 during the reset. Therefore, in the present disclosure, when the microprocessor is powered on, the IO3 port outputs high level to control the conduction of the second MOSFET Q4 and further enables the first MOSFET Q1 to provide it with a charging time of 500 mS to compensate for the insufficient charging of the capacitor C1 when the reset key is pressed.

In addition to that, the existing paperless recorders face multi-channel thermocouple collection, and the common cold-junction compensation method has poor accuracy and consistency in achieving multi-channel. With the increasing demand for multi-channel acquisition instruments in the industrial field, the common methods are unable to meet the requirements of high precision and reliability of cold junction compensation. Based on this, the present disclosure is also provided with a three-point cold junction compensation device, for the purpose of solving the problem of insufficient accuracy of multi-channel acquisition and compensation in the present disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 13 & 14, the three-point cold junction compensation device comprising: an analog switch 10 and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor further comprising: a first temperature sensor 210, a second temperature sensor 220, and a third temperature sensor 230 (corresponding to Temperature Sensor 1, Temperature Sensor 2 and Temperature Sensor 3). The first temperature sensor 210, the second temperature sensor 220, and the third temperature sensor 230 are respectively connected to the analog switch 10 through a communication bus. The present disclosure reads the data of each temperature sensor through the switching sequence of the analog switch 10. Since the temperature of each channel of the multi-channel thermocouple recorder is affected by the environment, there will be a gradient difference. The cold junction temperature of each channel can be obtained by averaging the difference between the data read by the three temperature sensors to each channel. Compared to the conventional multi-channel cold junction compensation equipped with multiple temperature probes, this preferred embodiment uses fewer materials, is low cost, and has good reliability.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first temperature sensor 210, the second temperature sensor 220, and the third temperature sensor 230 adopt three digital temperature sensors of the same model for digital temperature collection, such as ds18b20 temperature sensor. The analog switch 10 adopts RS2255XN and is mainly used to switch various temperature sensor bus channels. The three-point cold junction compensation device of the multi-channel thermocouple recorder further comprises a control chip 300. The control chip 300 is connected to the analog switch 10 to output a control signal, and the first temperature sensor 210, the second temperature sensor 220, and the third temperature sensor 230 are sequentially selected by the analog switch 10. A shared communication bus is used to read the data of each temperature sensor in sequence.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the multi-channel acquisition instrument has 16 channels. The first temperature sensor 210 and the third temperature sensor 230 are respectively located on both sides of the channel of the multi-channel acquisition instrument. The second temperature sensor 220 is located between the eighth channel and the ninth channel of the multi-channel acquisition instrument. The first temperature sensor 210, the second temperature sensor 220 and the third temperature sensor 230 share a single-bus communication; the bus selection is switched through a four-channel analog switch (analog switch 10); the control chip 300 (MCU) outputs control signals, the first temperature sensor 210, the second temperature sensor 220 and the third temperature sensor 230 (a shared communication bus is used) are sequentially selected, and the data of each temperature sensor are sequentially read. As the temperature of each channel of the multi-channel acquisition instrument is affected by the environment will show a gradient difference, the cold junction temperature of each channel can be obtained based on averaging the difference between the data read by the three temperature sensors to each channel. Compared with the traditional cold junction compensation for each channel, the temperature sensor is placed separately to save the cost of the temperature sensor, reduce the difficulty of PCB board design, and achieve higher cost-effective cold junction temperature compensation.

In summary, the present disclosure of a portable paperless recorder, comprising a recorder body, having a signal acquisition board and a main circuit board. The main circuit board is plugged into the signal acquisition board, and comprises a manual reset power loss protection circuit of the microprocessor reset of the paperless recorder. The signal acquisition board comprises an adapter components for connecting the external terminal, and one side of the adapter components comprises a channel cross-connect board for leading through the connection of the external terminal and the adapter components. The channel cross-connect board is engaged with the upper end of the recorder body. In the present disclosure, the signal acquisition board having the adapter component is attachedly connected with the recorder body by screwing. The channel cross-connect board is engaged to the recorder body to further convenience the assembly and disassembly of the signal acquisition board, the channel cross-connect board and the recorder body. When the manufacturers produce the paperless recorders with different interfaces, no major changes are required to the paperless recorders for reducing the manufacturing costs. When the reset module has manually started the reset, the first power resume module is started rendering the charge-discharge module to discharge control of the level locking module to lock the output level; when the microprocessor is powered on, the charge-discharge module is compensated and charged by the second power resume module for compensating the insufficient charging of the capacitor of the charge-discharge module during the manual reset, which effectively preventing power failure during the reset, thereby improving the reliability of reset.
