In the present embodiment, each electromagnet 3 is describedIn line slideway module or in curvilinear guide module, be array distribution, as shown in accompanying drawing 1-2.
As the preferred embodiments of the present invention, described position detecting module is electromagnetic sensor, this electromagnetismSensor setting is in described magnet spool, and the position of each mobile platform all can be passed by electromagnetismSensor records, and acquisition is detected based on electromagnetic sensing in the position of mobile platform. Due to mobile flatThe mover of platform is permanent magnet, and position detecting module is the electromagnetic sensor being arranged in electromagnet, thereforeWithout any position detecting element is installed on mobile platform, and then mobile platform does not need to connect yetAny holding wire or power line. Certainly, described position detecting module can be also that other have position inspectionThe sensor of brake, as long as each mobile platform positional information in orbit being detected, andFed back to described control module.
In the present embodiment, described control module includes controller and is connected with this controllerCurrent amplifier, the electrical current of each magnet spool is provided by described current amplifier, as accompanying drawingShown in 3. In the embodiment of the present invention, control module is at the coil calculating in the each electromagnet of electromagnetic moduleAfter required electrical current size, the signal that the required electrical current of each magnet spool is controlled in output isVoltage signal, this voltage signal is first processed by a current amplifier, then puts through this electric currentLarge device is exported the required electrical current of magnet spool after processing again, each electromagnet is had correspondingMagnetic, the permanent magnet that itself and mobile platform bottom is arranged produces corresponding electromagnetic force, thereby controlsThe movement of described mobile platform on guide rail.
Consider when single mobile platform moves to different positions in transported material process on guide rail,Not all electromagnet all can exert an influence to mobile platform, the electromagnetism that distance moving platform is far awayIron is negligible on the impact of mobile platform, does not therefore need all electromagnet all to configure oneCurrent amplifier. As the preferred embodiments of the present invention, in the present embodiment, adopt a current amplifierThe scheme of output multiple electromagnet in parallel, the data signal producing by controller is selected on guide railDistance moving platform is compared with magnet spool energising near and that can produce effective electromagnetic force, but the same timeIt is only a coil electricity. Wherein, controller can be by receiving the position of each electromagnetic sensor feedbackInformation judge come distance moving platform nearer and the magnet spool that need to produce electromagnetic force.
As shown in Figure 4, the control module described in the present embodiment includes a controller and an electric currentAmplifier, described controller has one for controlling the electricity of electrical current size of each magnet spoolPress signal output part, and one selects signal for the coil electricity of selecting each magnet spool energisingOutput; Each magnet spool is all connected in series with a switch module, the control end of each switch moduleAll select signal output part to be connected with described coil electricity, the input of each switch module and described electric currentThe output of amplifier is connected in parallel, the input of described current amplifier and the output of described voltage signalEnd connects; The electrical current of each magnet spool is provided by described current amplifier, described controllerSelecting signal output part to send corresponding coil electricity by coil electricity selects signal, makes corresponding openingClosing module conducting, be required coil power supply, but same electric current is put thereby make described current amplifierIn the large same time of device, it is only a coil power supply.
The quantity of the switch module that in actual applications, the output of current amplifier is connected in parallel is passableArrange according to actual needs, the number of connection of current amplifier and magnet spool can be as requiredArrange; Meanwhile, the quantity of current amplifier and controller also can arrange according to actual needs.
It should be noted that in addition, in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, it provides the concrete circuit of coil to connectMode: one end of coil is directly connected with current amplifier or connects by switch module and current amplifierConnect the other end ground connection of coil; In actual applications, can select according to actual conditions the tool of coilBody connected mode, if be adopted as the current amplifier of PWM formula as current amplifier, coilTwo ends are all connected with current amplifier. Certainly, coil can also adopt other connected mode,As long as providing the connected mode of required electrical current for realizing current amplifier for coil.
Described controller will exported two signals after a series of computings: for controlling each electromagnetThe voltage signal of electrical current size of coil, and for selecting each magnet spool energisingCoil electricity is selected signal. The voltage signal of control coil size of current is exported from voltage signal output endTo current amplifier, current amplifier is by the corresponding electricity of output after the processing such as this voltage signal amplifies(size of current of current amplifier output and the voltage signal of input current amplifier are linear to stream signalRelation), then export in corresponding coil through switch module; And for selecting each magnet spool logicalThe coil electricity of electricity selects signal to select signal output part to output to switch module from described coil electricityControl end, this coil electricity selects signal to make corresponding switch module conducting, thereby makes to put through electric currentLarge device process after the current signal of output output to target coil and (now need the electromagnet of energisingCoil) in. In described coil electricity selection signal and switch module are used for guaranteeing at one time, electricityThe current signal of stream amplifier output output only outputs in target coil, at one time in,Only having the switch module being connected with target coil is conducting, and other and opening that non-target coil is connectedClose module in off state.
Preferably, the switch module in the present embodiment is made up of two FETs, the grid of two FETsThe utmost point interconnects the control end as switch module, and the drain electrode of two FETs interconnects, Qi ZhongyiThe source electrode of FET is connected as the input of switch module and the output of described current amplifier,The source electrode of another FET is connected as the output of switch module and the input of described coil, asShown in accompanying drawing 4. In Fig. 4, two FET differential concatenations ensure the two-way not conducting of switch module,(be coil electricity choosing when the grid of the FET in the switch module being connected with target coil has signalSelect signal) when input, two FET conductings simultaneously; Now, the electricity of current amplifier outputStream signal outputs in target coil through this switch module, and due to other switch modules now inOff state, therefore the non-target coil of connection corresponding to other switch modules is now all in non-energisingState.
Utilize the switch module in the present embodiment, if will be target coil electricity, the coil of controller is logicalElectric separation is selected signal output part only need export corresponding signal, in the switch module that makes to be connected with target coilFET conducting, and FET in remaining switch module is off state. WhenSo, also can adopt other circuit modules with similar functions to realize the merit of above-mentioned switch moduleEnergy.
The operation principle of the assembled automated transport system below the present embodiment being provided or the course of workMake brief description: the assembled automated transport system in the present embodiment adopts close-loop control mode,Relative position between the suffered electromagnetic force of mobile platform and magnet spool and mobile platform has certain passSystem, the electromagnetic force that each electromagnet provides is directly proportional to electric current wherein, can set up logical through calculating(this of the model of relation between the electromagnetic force that while crossing unitary current, all electromagnet provide and permanent magnet positionIn invention, be referred to as model one); Each electromagnet coil power electricity when mobile platform is subject to unit forceThe optimal solution of stream also can be calculated, all electromagnet coils when therefore producing unit-sized and making a concerted effortElectrical current and mobile platform position between the model (being referred to as model two in the present invention) of relationAlso can set up.
In the process of establishing of above-mentioned model one and model two, the available Ampere force Formula of model one,?
Wherein
Wherein R ' is the point on permanent magnet, and R is the point on electromagnet, μ0For space permeability, πFor pi, ▽ is Laplace operator, and M is magnet polarization intensity, and n is the each normal to a surface of magnetDirection, the volume that V is magnet, the surface area that S is magnet.
When I in formula is unitary current and just can obtains mould while getting the component of the F mobile platform direction of motionType one:
K=f(x)。
Can perception model one be the function relevant to mobile platform position, when having n in the mobile platform direction of motionWhen individual coil, the model one of each coil can be obtained, and mobile platform is subject at an arbitrary position soPower can express with following formula:
F=Ku。
Wherein:
K=[K1…Kn] be the row vector of 1 × n;
u=[u1…un]TFor the column vector of n × 1.
K1…KnFor the value u of mobile platform each electromagnet model one correspondence when the optional position1…unFor the size of current passing in each electromagnet. The optimal solution that passes into size of current for trying to achieve makes all electricityFlow big or small quadratic sum minimum, even electromagnet consumed power minimum, u can calculate by following formulaCome:
u=[K]T([K][K]T)-1F。
Getting F is unit force, by the size of u corresponding mobile platform electromagnet when the diverse locationRelation is carried out matching and just can obtain the model two of this electromagnet. Can perception model two be with mobile flat equallyThe function that platform position is relevant, model two corresponding to each electromagnet also can be in the hope of.
Because the optimal solution of calculating coil electricity electric current need to be carried out inversion operation, it can take control mouldA large amount of fortune of the controller in piece are deposited, and set up the optimization system program raising greatly of above-mentioned two modelsSystem real time. Above-mentioned two models (model one and model two) can be stored in to controller in advanceIn, the positional information that only need to input mobile platform is logical once calculating each coil by modelThe power providing when unitary current, by model two just may be calculated produce unit make a concerted effort each coil shouldThereby this size of current passing into has been avoided the operation of Real-time solution inverse matrix. The actual bit of mobile platformPut and can record by described electromagnetic sensor, by site error, i.e. given mobile platform position(target location that mobile platform will move in other words) and mobile platform physical location this moment itBetween deviation, input can obtain after described controller (this controller can be realized PID computing) mobileThe theoretical value of the required driving force of platform, when location aware and required driving force are when known, controller just canTo obtain electrical current required in each magnet spool by above-mentioned model two, controller outputCorresponding voltage signal is input to each magnet spool by current amplifier by required electrical currentIn, thereby the control of realization movement on guide rail to mobile platform.
