Since the component of the embodiment of the present invention can be configured to many different directions, directional terminology is used as aid illustration Purpose and be in no way intended to limit.As much as possible, same or similar using same or analogous label and symbolic indication in all attached drawings Part.
Fig. 1 is the electrical block diagram of contactor 20 in first embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, contactor (or relay) 20 includes the control circuit 10 being connected with contactor 20.Contactor 20 has There is contactor shell 21 (see Fig. 3 A-3B), is provided with terminals 23 on shell 21, is connected to a performance loop.It is set in shell 21 There are coil 22, iron core 24, switching mechanism 26 and dynamic and static contact 28,29.Stationary contact 29 and the terminals 23 on contactor shell 21 It is connected, forms performance loop.In one embodiment of the invention, around coil around the iron core 24 of contactor 20 22.(or disappearance) magnetic drive (or attraction) iron core 24 is generated when coil 22 is powered (or power-off) makees back and forth movement (coil 22 Pushed by release spring when power-off), so that the dynamic and static contact 28,29 inside contactor 20 is contacted or is separated, to be closed or disconnect Switching mechanism 26.Switching mechanism 26 is closed or disconnected to control being switched on or switched off for performance loop.
Control circuit 10 include controller 15, plunger position measuring circuit 16, selection circuit 17, working control circuit 18, And I/O buses 19 (such as LIN buses).It is single that controller 15 is equipped with MCU (Micro Control Unit, micro-control unit) controls First or other control units.Plunger position measuring circuit 16 is connected to the coil 22 in contactor 20, and includes pumping signal production Raw circuit 162 and sensing circuit 164.Working control circuit 18 is connected to the coil 22 in contactor 20, and includes PWM (Pulse Width Modulation, pulsewidth modulation) power save circuit 184 and electric power management circuit 182.Controller 15 connects iron core position simultaneously Measuring circuit 16, selection circuit 17 and working control circuit 18 are set, and controls plunger position measuring circuit 16,17 and of selection circuit The working condition of working control circuit 18 and signal communication each other.Plunger position measuring circuit 16 and job control electricity Road 18 is connected to contactor 20 by selection circuit 17.I/O buses 19 connect controller 15, realize contactor 20, controller 15, Selection circuit 17, plunger position measuring circuit 16 and working control circuit 18 etc. and extraneous high speed communication.
Selection circuit 17, connection plunger position measuring circuit 16 and working control circuit 18, according to the instruction of controller 15, Selection circuit 17 is in different moments timesharing by working control circuit 18 (working condition) and (detection of plunger position sensing circuit 16 State) it is switched to and is connect with coil 22.For example, when working control circuit 18 to be made enters working condition, selection circuit 17 will Working control circuit 18 is closed, and plunger position sensing circuit 16 is disconnected, controller 15, which sends out instruction, makes working control circuit 18 To coil 22 for electric forming performance loop, coil 22, which is powered, generates magnetic force, and iron core 24 is pushed to move, will be dynamic inside contactor 20 Contact 28 is contacted with stationary contact 29 (see Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B), closure switch mechanism 26, connects performance loop.
When needing the position for detecting iron core 24 that plunger position sensing circuit 16 is made to enter detecting state, selection circuit 17 will Working control circuit 18 disconnect, plunger position sensing circuit 16 is closed, plunger position sensing circuit 16 be closed with coil 22 and Sensing circuit 164 is formed into a loop;It is set to generate pulse inspection at this point, controller 15 sends out instruction to pumping signal generation circuit 162 It surveys signal and issues coil 22, sensing circuit 164 detects the pulse detection signals (pumping signal) returned through coil 22, and root later Judge whether the own inductance of coil 22 changes according to the pulse detection signals of return, to detect the iron core 24 of contactor 20 Whether displacement is had.
In working condition, controller 15 instructs selection circuit 17 to be closed working control circuit 18 and coil 22, by iron Core position sensing circuit 16 disconnects.Working control circuit 18 connect forming circuit with coil 22, in the moment for starting iron core 24, control Device 15 processed sends out instruction to electric power management circuit 182, and exporting one to coil 22 by PWM power save circuits 184 presets The starting current signal of duty ratio drives iron core 24, and contactor 20 is allowed to connect high-pressure work circuit, and hereafter, controller 15 is to electricity Power management circuits 182 send out instruction, and a smaller operating current of stable duty is provided by PWM power save circuits 184 so that Contactor 20 remains turned on.Electric power management circuit 182 controls the working condition of PWM power save circuits 184 in the process, together When will come from the voltage of power supply port 151 (see Fig. 2, electric power is provided by working power 40) and effectively distribute to PWM economize on electricity electricity Road 184 is allowed to the instruction works according to controller 15.The electric signal that contactor 20 does not need high-energy in working condition is used for tieing up On-state is held, providing the operating current smaller than starting current duty can make contactor 20 work long hours, with drop Electric power is saved in low energy consumption.
In working condition, in 20 course of work of contactor, prolonged high pressure energization may lead to 24 distal end of iron core Movable contact 28 welds adhesion with a pair of of stationary contact 29, therefore when driving current disconnects, coil 22 powers off, and magnetic force disappears, iron core 24 Initial position can not be bounce back into, contactor 20 fails.Another situation, movable contact 28 are viscous without occurring with a pair of of stationary contact 29 Even, but iron core 24 is fastened on and rebounds path on the way, is not returned to initial position, and contactor 20 is also at abnormal position at this time.This Under two kinds of situations, because the position of iron core 24 has changed relative to initial position, can cause the electrodynamic capacity of coil 22 relative to Iron core 24 changes in initial position.
In detecting state, the instruction selection circuit 17 of controller 15 closes plunger position measuring circuit 16 and coil 22 It closes, selection circuit 17 disconnects working control circuit 18.Pumping signal generation circuit 162 connects with coil 22 and sensing circuit 164 Connect forming circuit.Pumping signal generation circuit 162 is to 22 output drive signal of coil so that coil 22 generates inductance, sensing electricity The inductance value that 164 measuring coil 22 of road is fed back.With the different location of iron core 24, coil 22 generates different inductance Value;Sensing circuit 164 judges the position of iron core 24 according to different inductance values, by the different location status measured start to Controller 15 by I O buses export, or exported by control detection output 152.
The principle of 24 position detection of iron core is:When iron core 24 is in abnormal position (including adhesion), because with initial position Position it is different, the electrodynamic capacity of coil 22 can be influenced, coil 22 is to generate the inductance value different from when initial position, different The charge and discharge time of the coil of inductance value is different, and pumping signal generation circuit 162 is to 22 output drive signal of coil to line Circle 22 charges, and because self-induction coil 22 can discharge, sensing circuit 164 can be sentenced by 22 charge and discharge times of receiving coil Broken string circle from inductance value, compare the position that different inductance values can determine whether iron core 24.In the process, there is external work electricity Source 40 (such as Fig. 2) provides electric power, and controller 15 is by controlling pumping signal generation circuit 162, by the electricity from working power 40 Power is sent to coil 22 in a manner of pumping signal.
In Fig. 1, control circuit 10 includes I/O buses 19, controller 15, contactor 20, selection circuit 17, iron core position It sets measuring circuit 16 and working control circuit 18 etc. to be provided entirely on printed circuit board, printed circuit board is mounted on connector 60 On (see Fig. 6), control circuit 10 is connected by plug (141,142 in such as Fig. 2, Fig. 6) with the coil 22 of contactor 20.It is true On, other types of communication bus agreement is equally applicable, such as CAN bus.
Before this because the limitation of contactor mold die sinking difficulty (cost) and chip technology, all control circuits are all It is integrated in inside contactor, this mode can cause contactor volume larger, while poor radiation, and internal hot-wire coil can be to control Circuit processed generates electromagnetic interference;With the breakthrough of die sinking process, the development of chip technology and comply with contactor design trend, Working control circuit is arranged in connector, this mode avoids the same of the electromagnetic interference to working line inside contactor When, the confined space of contactor is released, the physical limitation of contactor is extended, reduces and connects while enhancing its thermal diffusivity The volume of tentaculum enhances its water resistance, it is often more important that the different function customized will be needed integrated on the connectors, and united The appearance and model of one contactor itself, to meet the needs of using different manufacturers.
Fig. 2 is the electrical block diagram of contactor 20 in second embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Fig. 2, contactor (or relay) 20 includes the control circuit 10 being connected with contactor 20.Control circuit 10 It is connect with the coil 22 of contactor 20 by plug (141,142), control circuit 10 includes controller 15, plunger position measurement electricity Road 16, selection circuit 17, working control circuit 18, I/O buses 19, working power 40 etc..Contactor 20 therein, controller 15, plunger position measuring circuit 16, working control circuit 18, I/O buses 19, working power 40 and the structure in first embodiment Identical with function, this will not be repeated here.
Different from the first embodiment the structure and working method of selection circuit 17:The structure of selection circuit 17 includes the One diode 190 and the second diode 192.First diode 190 is connected to the output end and coil 22 of PWM power save circuits 184 Input terminal between, the first diode 190 anode be connected with the output end of PWM power save circuits 184, the first diode 190 Cathode is connected with the input terminal of coil 22;Second diode 192 is connected to the input of plunger position measuring circuit 16 and coil 22 Between end, the output of the anode connection pumping signal generation circuit 162 of the second diode 192, the cathode of the second diode 192 connects The input terminal of wiring circle 22;The output end of coil 22 simultaneously connects the input terminal and sensing circuit 164 of PWM power save circuits 184 Input terminal.
For its working condition unlike first embodiment in Fig. 1, second embodiment utilizes the one-way conduction of diode It controls to timesharing plunger position measuring circuit 16 and working control circuit 18 is connect with coil 22.It is described in detail below:
First, when needing coil 22 to enter working condition to connect performance loop, controller 15 is to working control circuit 18 Instruction is sent out, the starting current startup that default duty ratio is sent out by the control PWM of electric power management circuit 182 power save circuits 184 connects Tentaculum 20, at this point, starting current passes through the anode of the first diode 190 through cathode stream by the output end of PWM power save circuits 184 To the input terminal of coil 22, because the cathode of the second diode 192 is connected with coil 22, therefore starting current will not flow to pumping signal Generation circuit 162;Starting current through plug 142 by flowing back to the inputs of PWM power save circuits 184 after 141 flowing through coil 22 of plug End forming circuit.After iron core 24 is by promotion Operating In Persistent Current Mode circuit, controller 15 sends out instruction to working control circuit 18 and changes The duty ratio of 184 output current of (reduction) PWM power save circuits saves electric power.When need disconnect performance loop when, controller 15 to Working control circuit 18 sends out instruction, and controlling PWM power save circuits 184 from electric power management circuit 182 stops to coil with electric current, Working control circuit 18 is stopped, and is rebounded by (spring) to which iron core 24 loses thrust, dynamic and static contact 28,29 detaches, work Circuit disconnects.
Then, when needing plunger position measuring circuit 16 to enter detecting state, controller 15 generates electricity to pumping signal Road 162 sends out instruction, stops power supply moment in working control circuit 18, is sent out from pumping signal generation circuit 162 to coil 22 Pumping signal, pumping signal are flowed into from the anode of the second diode 192, the input terminal of coil 22 are flowed to by cathode, because of first The input terminal of the negative lead circle 22 of diode 190, therefore pumping signal will not flow to PWM economize on electricity electricity through the first diode 190 Road 184, pumping signal are formed back by flowing back to the input terminal of sensing circuit 164 after 141 flowing through coil 22 of plug through plug 142 Road, sensing circuit 164 sense the charge and discharge time of coil 22 to measure the position of iron core 24, and by position signal by detecting shape State output feeds back to controller 15, then is communicated by I/O buses 19 and external vehicle ECU.Two are used in second embodiment Unilateral diode substitutes the selection circuit 17 in first embodiment, directly controls plunger position measuring circuit 16 and job control electricity The time-sharing work on road 18, structure design is simpler, and manufacturing cost is more cheap.

As shown in Figure 3A, when operating current flows through coil 22, coil 22 generates magnetic field, can be under the action of magnetic attraction Band dynamic iron core 24 moves up, and movable contact 28 is contacted with stationary contact 29.I.e. when being powered to coil 22, iron core 24 shifts to stationary contact 29, movable contact 28 is contacted with stationary contact 29, connects the performance loop that contactor 20 controls.
As shown in Figure 3B, when operating current powers off coil 22, iron core 24 leaves stationary contact 29, movable contact 28 and stationary contact Point 29 disconnects, that is, disconnects the performance loop that contactor 20 controls.The long-time energization of performance loop can lead to 28 (iron core of movable contact 24 therewith) and 29 adhesion of stationary contact, normal position can not be returned to when coil 22 powers off, performance loop can not be disconnected, be connect Tentaculum 20 fails.Even if in fact, iron core 24 does not stick together, but not completely returning to initial position, by being connected with coil 22 Pumping signal generation circuit 162 and sensing circuit 164 can also equally detected.
