Abstract

The invention provides a relay driving circuit. In an electrical path for a coil current (i21) to flow through the electrical coil (21) of a relay (20), two switching elements (11A, 12A) are arranged in the series-connected state, and a CPU (14) controls the on/off states of the two switching elements (11A, 12A) at the same time so as to control the electrification state. Since the two switching elements (11A, 12A) do not break down at the same time, the coil current (i21) can be reliably cut off even during the occurrence of a fault. Therefore, the long-term continuous electrification is avoided. Based on the above mechanism, the occurrence of flames and fires caused by the abnormal temperature rise can be avoided. The relay driving circuit has the fault automatic-diagnosis function and can report the occurrence of a fault in the event of the fault.

But, for instance drive the motor of the various Denso equipment (such as motorized window) being mounted in vehicle to have the tendency needing bigger source current.Therefore, even the relay used to control the energising of such load, it is also desirable to contact, jumbo source current can be switched.
Therefore, the relay for using in such control, it is contemplated that: the resistance value of electric coil built-in in relay is reduced to flow super-high-current, and the captivation being used in the movable part of mobile relay increases, in order to reliably on-off switch contact.
But, if electric coil stream super-high-current built-in in relay, then this electric coil generates heat in a large number, it is impossible to avoid temperature to rise rapidly.If such temperature is increased beyond heat-resisting allowed band, then there is deterioration or destroyed in the skin that covers of electric coil, there is the probability occurring to cause the dead short of circuit because of defective insulation.It addition, in this case, it is also possible to it is contemplated that worst it may be the case that smolder, catch fire.It addition, when improving the thermostability of relay, the probability that relay maximizes or component costs increases is higher.
Therefore, for the relay used in the energising control of the load at various electrical equipments, the upper limit (such as, the longest 1 minute) of the continuous conduction time of electric coil in some situations, is defined.Therefore, when the electric coil of relay is energized, it is necessary to be controlled such that continuous conduction time is not elongated.Such as, when the such load of the motor driving motorized window, reality need not be energized continuously for a long time, therefore, for controlling the electric coil of the relay of this energising, the state of long-time energising generally also will not occur continuously.
But, it is also contemplated that following probability: such as there occurs in situation as fault (being fixed on closure state) at the switch element (such as transistor) of the parts as relay drive circuit, the electric coil of relay is energized for a long time continuously.It addition, for the fault of the parts such as quasiconductor, be inevitable with certain probability.When such fault, it is possible to detect this fault.But, even if the fault of detecting, actually also have can not the situation of energising of electric coil of block system relay, he therefore, worries to be likely to cause smoldering, catching fire because of the heating of the electric coil of relay.

Additionally, the relay 20 that the energising/non-energized of the dc motor 30 in order to control vehicle mounted electric assembling device 100 is used, needs switch 23,24 reliably carries out the Guan Bi/disconnection (opening and closing of contact) of big electric current, it is necessary to use the electric coil 21,22 that resistance value is less.Therefore, in the electric coil 21,22 of relay 20, flowing through bigger electric current, the caloric value of electric coil 21,22 also becomes big.If it addition, be energized for a long time continuously in electric coil 21,22, then they can occur significant temperature to rise, it is possible to insulation cover skin destroyed while, smolder, catch fire.Therefore, particularly when not having relay 20 of higher heat resistance, the higher limit (such as 1 minute) of the continuous conduction time of electric coil 21,22 is prescribed in advance.
Action accordingly, with respect to relay drive circuit 10, it is necessary to consider that the continuous conduction time of electric coil 21,22 not can exceed that setting.But, in general relay drive circuit, there occurs in situation as fault at internal part, it is likely to carry out unexpected action, such as, even if when being non-energized by electric coil 21,22 control, being actually likely to continuously flow through electric current in electric coil 21,22.In the relay drive circuit 10 shown in Fig. 1, implement special improvement so that even if parts there occurs fault, the continuous conduction time of electric coil 21,22 is not over setting.
The detailed description > that < is constituted
< relay 20, dc motor 30 explanation >
Relay 20 shown in Fig. 1 is built-in with 2 group relaies of action independently of each other.That is, a group relay is made up of electric coil 21 and switch 23, and another group relay is made up of electric coil 22 and switch 24.It is to say, utilize the energising of electric coil 21/non-energized, make the movable part of switch 23 move, switch electrical contact.It addition, the energising of utilization switch 23/non-energized, make the movable part of switch 24 move, switch electrical contact.
Relay 20 be the energising in order to switch dc motor 30 Guan Bi/disconnection and energising direction and arrange.When the state shown in Fig. 1, namely switch 23 and 24 simultaneously switch off, the terminal 31 of dc motor 30 is connected to earth lead 41 (4) via connection terminal 45 and switch 23, terminal 32 is also connected to earth lead 41 (4) via connection terminal 46 and switch 24, and therefore do not flow motor current i30.
On the other hand, when switch 23 Guan Bi of relay 20, switch 24 disconnection, it is formed for making motor current i30 be flowed to the paths of earth lead 41 (4) by switch 23, connection terminal 45, terminal 31, dc motor 30, terminal 32, connection terminal 46 and switch 24 from power line (such as, supplying the voltage of+12V) 40.
Additionally, when switch 23 disconnects, switchs 24 Guan Bi, it is formed for making reciprocal motor current i30 by switch 24, connection terminal 46, terminal 32, dc motor 30, terminal 31, connection terminal 45 and switch 23 paths flowed to earth lead 41 (4) from power line 40.
For an electric coil 21 of relay 20, the terminal of hot side is connected to power line 40 via diode D3, and the terminal of low potential side is connected to the connection terminal 17A of relay drive circuit 10 output.It addition, for another electric coil 22 of relay 20, the terminal of hot side is connected to power line 40 via diode D3, the terminal of low potential side is connected to the connection terminal 17B of relay drive circuit 10 output.
Therefore, by controlling the current potential connecting terminal 17A of relay drive circuit 10 output such that it is able to the energising of the electric coil 22 of switching relay 20/non-energized, by controlling to connect the current potential of terminal 17B such that it is able to the energising of switching electric coil 22/non-energized.
The composition > of < relay drive circuit 10

The switch element 11A and switch element 12A that are configured in upside are the loops for controlling to connect the current potential of terminal 17A, are connected in series to the path of coil current i21.It addition, the switch element 11B and switch element 12B that are configured in downside are the loops for controlling to connect the current potential of terminal 17B, it is connected in series to the path of coil current i22.Switch element 13 is the switch of the Guan Bi/disconnection of the switch element 12B for the switch element 12A and downside universally controlling upside.
In the relay drive circuit 10 shown in Fig. 1, in order to easily realize reliable switch, as switch element 11A and 11B, adopt the MOSFET (FET) of N ditch type.It addition, as switch element 12A and 12B, adopt PNP transistor, as switch element 13, adopt NPN transistor.
Microcomputer 14 is by performing the program being previously charged into, thus realizing the control function required for vehicle mounted electric assembling device 100.Such as, output according to not shown upper electronic control unit (ECU) or export " rotating forward indication signal " and " reversion indication signal " according to being utilized button that user is operable to, exports control signal SGA, SGB and SGC respectively to each output port 14a, 14b and 14c.
Control signal SGA is the signal of the Guan Bi/disconnection for switching switch element 11A, is applied to the gate control terminal 11Ag of switch element 11A via resistor R12 from output port 14a.Control signal SGB is the signal of the Guan Bi/disconnection of switching switch element 11B, is applied to the gate control terminal 11Bg of switch element 11B via resistor R22 from output port 14b.Control signal SGC is the signal for closing/disconnect switch element 13, switch element 12A and 12B, is applied to the base stage control terminal of switch element 13 via resistor R16 from output port 14c.
It addition, be connected with earth lead 41 (1) for switch element 11A, source terminal 11As, drain terminal 11Ad is connected by the collector terminal 12Ac with switch element 12A via distribution 16A.Similarly, for switch element 11B, source terminal is connected with earth lead 41 (2), and drain terminal is connected by the collector terminal with switch element 12B via distribution 16B.
The base terminal 12Ab of switch element 12A is connected with the collector terminal of switch element 13 via resistor R14.Similarly, the base stage control terminal of switch element 12B is also connected with the collector terminal of switch element 13 via resistor R24.
It addition, be connected between the base terminal 12Ab and emitter terminal 12Ae of switch element 12A resistor R13, emitter terminal 12Ae via distribution 15A be connected terminal 17A connect.Similarly, between base stage control terminal and the emitter terminal of switch element 12B, be connected to resistor R23, emitter terminal via distribution 15B be connected terminal 17B connect.
The path of the coil current i21 flowing through the electric coil 21 of relay 20 is as follows.Namely, electric current is from power line 40, by diode D3, electric coil 21, connecting terminal 17A, distribution 15A, switch element 12A (emitter stage-inter-collector), distribution 16A, switch element 11A (between Drain-Source), stream arrives earth lead 41 (1).Wherein, in switch element 11A and switch element 12A, at least one disconnects, coil current i21 is cut off.
It addition, the path flowing through the coil current i22 of the electric coil 22 of relay 20 is as follows.Namely, electric current is from power line 40, by diode D3, electric coil 22, connect terminal 17B, distribution 15B, switch element 12B (emitter stage-inter-collector), distribution 16B, switch element 11B (between Drain-Source), flow to earth lead 41 (2).Wherein, when in switch element 11B and switch element 12B, at least one disconnects, coil current i22 is cut off.
The explanation > of < action
The action of the relay drive circuit 10 shown in Fig. 1 is illustrated for Fig. 2.
< original state and halted state >
Microcomputer 14 disconnects (low level: close to the voltage of earthing potential) to control signal SGA, SGB and SGC of each output port 14a~14c output.The situation of halted state is too.
When control signal SGA disconnects, the potential difference between the gate control terminal 11Ag and source terminal 11As of switch element 11A diminishes, and becomes non-conduction (disconnection) between the drain terminal 11Ad and source terminal 11As of switch element 11A.Similarly, when control signal SGB disconnects, the potential difference between gate control terminal and the source terminal of switch element 11B diminishes, and becomes non-conduction (disconnection) between drain terminal and the source terminal of switch element 11B.
It addition, when control signal SGC disconnects, the potential difference between base stage control terminal 13b and the emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13 diminishes, between the collector terminal 13c and emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13, become non-conduction (disconnection).Being additionally, since switch element 13 to be off, therefore, switch element 12A and 12B disconnects.It is to say, no current flows in resistor R13, R14, therefore, the potential difference between the emitter terminal 12Ae and base terminal 12Ab of switch element 12A diminishes, and switch element 12A becomes disconnection.Similarly, also no current flows in resistor R23, R24, therefore, the potential difference between emitter terminal and the base terminal of switch element 12B diminishes, and switch element 12B becomes disconnection.
In the above-described state, the flow path of coil current i21 is cut off by switch element 11A, and is also cut off by switch element 12A.It addition, the flow path of coil current i22 is cut off by switch element 11B, and also cut off by switch element 12B.
It is to say, coil current i21 does not flow in electric coil 21, therefore, this relay is off, switch 23 maintenance state shown in Fig. 1.It addition, coil current i22 does not flow in electric coil 22, therefore, this relay is also off, switch 24 maintenance state shown in Fig. 1.Therefore, flowing without motor current i30 in dc motor 30, dc motor 30 becomes halted state.
The state > that < drives in forward direction
Such as, if driver operates certain button to open vehicle window (motorized window), then " rotating forward indication signal " temporarily (T21 in Fig. 2 is interval) that be applied to microcomputer 14 becomes Guan Bi.
If " rotating forward indication signal " closes, then control signal SGA is switched to Guan Bi by disconnection by microcomputer 14, meanwhile, by disconnection, control signal SGC is switched to Guan Bi.Control signal SGB maintains the state disconnected.
When control signal SGA closes, potential difference between the gate control terminal 11Ag and source terminal 11As of switch element 11A reaches more than threshold value, is switched through (Guan Bi) state between the drain terminal 11Ad and source terminal 11As of switch element 11A.
Additionally, when control signal SGC closes, potential difference between base stage control terminal 13b and the emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13 reaches more than threshold value, therefore, is switched through (Guan Bi) state between the collector terminal 13c and emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13.
Being additionally, since switch element 13 to close, therefore, switch element 12A and 12B is switched to Guan Bi.It is to say, electric current flows in resistor R13, R14, therefore, the potential difference between the emitter terminal 12Ae and base terminal 12Ab of switch element 12A reaches more than threshold value, and switch element 12A becomes Guan Bi.Similarly, electric current also flows in resistor R23, R24, and therefore, the potential difference between emitter terminal and the base terminal of switch element 12B reaches more than threshold value, and switch element 12B becomes Guan Bi.
In the above-described state, switch element 11A Guan Bi and switch element 12A close, and therefore, form the path for line of flow loop current i21.That is, electric current is from power line 40, by diode D3, electric coil 21, connect terminal 17A, distribution 15A, switch element 12A (emitter stage-inter-collector), distribution 16A, switch element 11A (between Drain-Source), flow to earth lead 41 (1).It addition, switch element 12B becomes Guan Bi, but switch element 11B maintains off-state, therefore, remains cut-off state for the path of line of flow loop current i22.
It is to say, coil current i21 flows in electric coil 21, this relay (upsides of 20) becomes Guan Bi, and the connection status of switch 23 is switched.Based on this, motor current i30, from power line 40, by switch 23, connects terminal 45, terminal 31, dc motor 30, terminal 32, connection terminal 46 and switch 24, flows to earth lead 41 (4).It is to say, motor current i30 forward flow, therefore, dc motor 30 is driven in forward direction.
If the T21 interval shown in Fig. 2 is terminated, " rotating forward indication signal " is switched to disconnection, then control signal SGA and SGC is switched to disconnection again.Based on this, switch element 11A and switch element 12A, 12B are switched to disconnection respectively, and the path of coil current i21 is cut off again.Therefore, the driving of dc motor 30 stops.
As in figure 2 it is shown, the length of the interval T21B of coil current i21 flowing is generally with the interval T21 of " rotating forward indication signal " on an equal basis (situation in rear description fault).Therefore, coil current i21 state of long-time flowing continuously in electric coil 21 will not be there is.
The state > that < drives in reverse directions
Such as, if driver operates certain button to close vehicle window (motorized window), then " reversion indication signal " temporarily (T22 in Fig. 2 is interval) that be applied to microcomputer 14 becomes Guan Bi.
If " reversion indication signal " closes, then control signal SGB is switched to Guan Bi from disconnection by microcomputer 14, meanwhile, from disconnection, control signal SGC is switched to Guan Bi.Control signal SGA maintains the state disconnected.
When control signal SGB closes, the potential difference between gate control terminal and the source terminal of switch element 11B reaches more than threshold value, is switched through (Guan Bi) state between drain terminal and the source terminal of switch element 11B.
Additionally, when control signal SGC closes, potential difference between base stage control terminal 13b and the emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13 reaches more than threshold value, therefore, is switched through (Guan Bi) state between the collector terminal 13c and emitter terminal 13e of switch element 13.
Being additionally, since switch element 13 to close, therefore switch element 12A and 12B is switched to Guan Bi.It is to say, have electric current to flow in resistor R13, R14, therefore, the potential difference between the emitter terminal 12Ae and base terminal 12Ab of switch element 12A reaches more than threshold value, and switch element 12A becomes Guan Bi.Similarly, also having electric current to flow in resistor R23, R24, therefore, the potential difference between emitter terminal and the base terminal of switch element 12B arrives more than threshold value, and switch element 12B becomes Guan Bi.
In the above-described state, switch element 11B Guan Bi and switch element 12B close, and therefore, form the path for line of flow loop current i22.That is, electric current is from power line 40, by diode D3, electric coil 22, connect terminal 17B, distribution 15B, switch element 12B (emitter stage-inter-collector), distribution 16B, switch element 11B (between Drain-Source), flow to earth lead 41 (2).Although it addition, switch element 12A becomes Guan Bi, but switch element 11A maintains off-state, therefore, the path for line of flow loop current i21 remains in that cut-off state.
It is to say, coil current i22 flows in electric coil 22, this relay (downsides of 20) becomes Guan Bi, and the connection status of switch 24 is switched.Based on this, motor current i30, from power line 40, by switch 24, connects terminal 46, terminal 32, dc motor 30, terminal 31, connection terminal 45 and switch 23, flows to earth lead 41 (4).It is to say, motor current i30 reverse flow, therefore, dc motor 30 is driven in reverse directions.
If the T22 interval shown in Fig. 2 is terminated, " reversion indication signal " is switched to disconnection, then control signal SGB and SGC is switched to disconnection again.Based on this, switch element 11B and switch element 12B is switched to disconnection respectively, and the path of coil current i22 is cut off again.Therefore, the driving of dc motor 30 stops.
As in figure 2 it is shown, the length of the interval T22B of coil current i22 flowing is generally with the interval T22 of " reversion indication signal " on an equal basis (situation in rear description fault).Therefore, coil current i22 state of long-time flowing continuously in electric coil 22 will not be there is.
< there occurs action > when fault
Various parts occasionally there are the situation of fault.Such as, each of switch element 11A, 11B, 12A and the 12B in Fig. 1 is semiconductor switch, therefore there is the aging and probability of fault.As concrete example, it is contemplated that be fixed to the situation of the state tending to remain on (short circuit) between the drain electrode of switch element 11A (11Ad)-source electrode (source terminal 11As).It addition, it is also contemplated that be fixed to the situation of the state tending to remain on (short circuit) between the emitter stage of switch element 12A (12Ae)-colelctor electrode (collector terminal 12Ac).For switch element 11B, 12B, too.
The fault of switch element 11A as described above, switch element 12A fault the flow path of coil current i21 is had impact.Just in case, coil current i21 keeps flowing not change, it is likely that: the heating of electric coil 21 causes that temperature anomaly rises, thus the skin that covers of electric coil 21 is destroyed, smolders, catches fire.If it addition, coil current i22 keeps flowing not change, it is likely that: the heating of electric coil 22 causes that temperature anomaly rises, thus the skin that covers of electric coil 22 is destroyed, smolders, catches fire.
But, in the relay drive circuit 10 shown in Fig. 1, in the flow path of coil current i21, switch element 11A and switch element 12A it is inserted with series connection, therefore, if able to by any one controls for disconnecting, then can be cut off by coil current i21 in switch element 11A and 12A, smolder what cause because being energized continuously, catch fire and prevent trouble before it happens.
It practice, switch element 11A and the switch element 12A the two simultaneous faults typically not existence of such situation.Therefore, when switch element 11A there occurs fault, by switch element 12A is controlled into disconnection such that it is able to coil current i21 is cut off.It addition, when switch element 12A there occurs fault, by switch element 11A is controlled into disconnection such that it is able to coil current i21 is cut off.
As described above, when switch element 11B there occurs fault, by switch element 12B being controlled for disconnecting such that it is able to coil current i22 is cut off.It addition, when switch element 12B there occurs fault, by switch element 11B is controlled as disconnecting such that it is able to coil current i22 is cut off.
Therefore, even if one there occurs fault in switch element 11A and switch element 12A, the length of the interval T21B of the coil current i21 shown in Fig. 2 is without change.Even if it addition, in switch element 11B and switch element 12B, one there occurs fault, the length of the interval T22B of the coil current i22 shown in Fig. 2 is without change.
Even if it addition, when switch element 13 there occurs fault, if switch element 11A is switched to disconnection, then can cutting line loop current i21, if switch element 11B is switched to disconnection, then coil current i22 can be cut off.

When control signal SGB, SGC disconnect, as it was previously stated, generally, voltage VdB is middle current potential or the current potential determined by the loop of surrounding.But, when there occurs the switch element 11B fault fixed with closure state, VdB becomes electronegative potential, and when there occurs the switch element 12B fault fixed with closure state, VdB becomes high potential.Therefore, by comparing voltage VdB in S18 such that it is able to the fault of identification switch element 11B and the fault of switch element 12B.
In step S19, microcomputer 14 is with reference to the comparative result of S15 and S18, thus identifying with or without detecting fault, entering S20 when fault being detected, if do not detected, returning S12.
In step S20, the state of the fault that microcomputer 14 detects to user, inspection operator's report.Such as, the picture of display 50 shows the message or the mark that represent that relay drive circuit 10 there occurs fault.It addition, by can determine there occurs the position of fault, the information of parts is automatically registered in the nonvolatile memory (not shown) within microcomputer 14.Alternatively, it is also possible to fault is notified upper electronic control unit (ECU: not shown) by communicating.
