It is illustrated in figure 5 a kind of flow chart of microwave plasma torch self-tuning control method.Microwave magnetron source MPT
Self-tuning control method is a kind of self-tuning control method of the microwave magnetron source MPT based in above-described embodiment, the control
After molding block 2 obtains the relation curve of reflection end face distance and reflection power coefficient in advance.Self-tuning in the control module 2
Control method comprises the steps of:
S1:The threshold value of reflection power coefficient is set;
S2:Obtain reflection end face distance in real time;
S3:Real-time reflection power is read as the first reflection power value, it is anti-that first is asked for the reflection power value in real time
Penetrate power coefficient;

The step of wherein reading real-time reflection power be specially:Averaged conduct after reading the reflection power of preset times
Real-time reflection power.The experiment for obtaining the relation curve of reflection end face distance and reflection power coefficient described in the present embodiment in advance obtains
Take method and steps as follows:
Step 1:Reflection end face distance L1 is set before activation as a certain constant value, then starts plasma, in plasma
Under body stable state, the reflection power value of 6 times is read by software, average write down the reflection end face distance that this time obtains and
Reflection power value is as a coordinate points.
Step 2:Close power supply and extinguish plasma, regulation reflection end face, that is, change L1Value, repeat step 1 is carried out again
Measurement, so repeatedly in L118 points are sampled in range-adjustable altogether, finally give different reflection end face distance L1Locate reflection power system
Several sizes.
Step 3:Above-mentioned 18 points are fitted using least square method, and calculated curve and experimental data are compared
To, amendment after obtain it is described reflection end face distance and reflection power coefficient relation curve.
It is reflection power P under working condition to define reflection power coefficientRRelative to the ratio P of incident power1."+" in Fig. 4
The corresponding reflection power coefficient being calculated according to measured data of experiment is represented, curve represents to use based on equivalent model
The matched curve that least square method obtains, two represent to assume to survey reflection in experiment parallel to line above in the dotted line of x-axis
Power coefficient is straight line corresponding to 20%, and the straight line is marked with the point that matched curve is handed over circle, will reflection in the present embodiment
Straight line of the power coefficient corresponding to 10% is as the reflection power coefficient threshold set in control method.The present embodiment starts
The full spectrometers of MPT, control microwave power, carrier gas, maintain gas and shield gas flow amount.It is 100W to keep microwave incident power, carrier gas and
It is 0.9L/min, shield gas flow amount 1.6L/min, L to maintain throughput2It is fixed as 13.5mm.
Specifically, obtain reflecting end face distance L by externally measured first1Value.Start instrument and software, in computer
Setting reflection end face distance L in software1With reflection power coefficient threshold, exemplified by 10%, as shown in Figure 4.Filled by lighting a fire
Put and light plasma, using the reflection power value of computer software reading now, take multivalue average value.It is anti-by what is be calculated
Power coefficient is penetrated compared with threshold value 10%, sees if fall out threshold range, if reflection power coefficient is less than 10%, no
Torch pipe need to be adjusted, continue to read reflection power value.If reflection power coefficient is beyond 10%, it is necessary to be adjusted by transmission device
Section torch pipe reflects endface position to reduce reflection power.Exemplified by 20%, as shown in Figure 4, it is with matched curve in reflection end
Face adjustable range is to have 4 crosspoints in 0-120mm, passes through the reflection end face distance L initially set1A certain friendship can be positioned as
Crunode, the direction that needs are adjusted is judged accordingly and torch pipe reflection endface position is adjusted by transmission device, can be according to step
Stepper motor rotating speed, gear parameter calculate step angle and reflection end face distance L1Between relation, regulation terminate after according to should
The original reflection end face distance L of relation real-time update1Value and preservation, continue thereafter with read reflection power value, so repeatedly.
This method should be noted at 2 points:1st, because gear rotation has certain error, therefore reflection end needs away from information
Regular calibration.2nd, the possibility of this method (threshold value setting is relatively low) erroneous judgement when reflectance factor is lower is bigger.Because now basis
Two positions that curve obtains are closer to, may be in the range of reflection end face distance measurement error.
But because this method is directly controlled according to empirical curve, therefore in the case of empirical curve is correct, profit
Faster reaction rate can be obtained by carrying out self-tuning with this method, realize the fast reaction of MPT self-tunings.
