Fig. 2 shows the control device physical circuit of relay coil according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention compositions.Such as
Shown in Fig. 2, it is different from the control method that traditional relay coil is directly accessed voltage rating as defined in specifications, in the present invention
The voltage at relay coil both ends be it is adjustable, will be specifically described below.
It is utilized as shown in Fig. 2, being attracted confirmation circuit 1, such as the voltage acquisition module of integrated transporting discharging unit acquires A, B two o'clock
Between voltage, i.e., voltage U between the described contactAB, by input parameter, the feedback parameter etc. that the amplifier unit is arranged, so that
Such as high level is exported when relay actuation, low level is exported when not being attracted, judges whether relay is attracted really to export
Recognize signal.Specifically, judge voltage U between the contactABIt is whether consistent with the voltage rating of the major loop of setting.If the contact
Between voltage it is consistent with the voltage rating of the major loop, then the confirmation signal that output relay is not attracted, for example, low level;Instead
It, is if the voltage rating of voltage and the major loop is inconsistent between the contact, the confirmation signal that output relay is attracted, example
For example high level.
The voltage feedback circuit 2, as shown in Fig. 2, preferably including: triode Q1, base stage connection are attracted confirmation circuit
Output end, for receiving the confirmation signal;First resistor R1, one end connect positive voltage input terminal and the institute of relay coil
State the collector of triode Q1;Second resistance R2, one end connect the other end of the first resistor R1, and second resistance R2's is another
End connects the negative voltage input terminal (ground connection) of the relay coil;And 3rd resistor R3, the hair of one end connecting triode Q1
Emitter-base bandgap grading.The other end of the other end of first resistor R1, described one end of second resistance R2 and 3rd resistor R3 is connected to
The feedback signal receiving end Vsense of control unit 3.
Described control unit 3 is specifically, for example, PWM step-down switching power supply chip, can the received feedback signal of institute,
When determining relay and not being attracted, it is attracted condition according to relay, by the positive voltage input terminal voltage of relay coil
Vout voltage is set as 80% or more of relay voltage rating, in the solution of the present invention, preferred as 20V, with guarantee after
Electric appliance can be reliably attracted.Relay is realized to using control unit 3, voltage feedback circuit 2 and actuation confirmation circuit 1 below
The specific implementation process of the control of the voltage at coil both ends is described.
Firstly, being attracted confirmation circuit 1 is judging UABWhen consistent with major loop voltage rating, judge that relay is not attracted, then
Export the low level as the confirmation signal.The base stage of triode Q1 receives the low level confirmation signal at this time, and three
Pole pipe Q1 is not turned on, so that there are following relationships:
Vout/ (R1+R2)=Vsense/R2
The voltage that PWM switching power source chip itself designs Vsense is 0.8V or so, sets the resistance value of R2 at this time to be a certain
Fixed value sets Vout as 20V, then can calculate R1 resistance value, according to the resistance match circuit calculated, then PWM
Switching power source chip can automatically adjust output voltage Vout to maintain Vsense voltage for 0.8V or so, while ensure the above pass
It is that formula is set up, Vout will maintain 20V or so.
On the other hand, if being attracted confirmation circuit 1 judges UABIt is inconsistent with major loop voltage rating, then judge that relay is inhaled
It closes, to export the high level as the confirmation signal.The condition that voltage is kept after being attracted according to relay, by Vout voltage
It is set as 50% or so of relay voltage rating, is 12V in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, to reduce relay coil
Loss.Specifically, the confirmation signal that the base stage of triode Q1 receives is high level, triode Q1 conducting, so that there are following
Relational expression:
Vout/ ((R1//R3)+R2)=Vsense/R2
As described above, the voltage that PWM switching power source chip itself designs Vsense is 0.8V or so, the at this time resistance of R1, R2
Value is the resistance value that a upper link matches, then sets Vout as 12V, so that it may the resistance value for calculating R3, according to what is calculated
Resistance match circuit, then PWM switching power source chip can automatically adjust output voltage Vout to maintain the Vsense voltage to be
0.8V or so, while ensuring that relation above formula is set up, Vout will maintain 12V or so.The present inventor passes through survey
The electric current that control coil is flowed through when examination relay is attracted moment and keeps after being attracted, and confirmation is exchanged with relay producer,
Relay actuation moment needs high voltage, is generally not less than the 70% of rated coil voltage, but coil is kept after being attracted
Voltage can turn down the voltage at coil both ends down to the 50% of voltage rating, therefore after detecting that relay has been attracted,
The loss of relay coil is greatly reduced while so that relay is maintained at attracting state.It describes below in conjunction with Fig. 3 according to this hair
The control method of bright relay coil.
Fig. 3 shows the flow chart of the control method of relay coil according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention.Such as Fig. 3 institute
Show, the control method of the relay coil includes: to be attracted verification step S1 Voltage Feedback step S2 and voltage rate-determining steps
S3.The actuation verification step S1 detects voltage between the contact of relay major loop, and the confirmation whether output relay is attracted
Signal;Voltage Feedback step S2 generates feedback signal according to the confirmation signal;And voltage rate-determining steps S3, according to the feedback
The voltage at Signal Regulation relay coil both ends, so that setting the voltage at relay coil both ends when the relay is not attracted
It is set to first voltage, and the voltage at relay coil both ends is set below to the second electricity of first voltage when relay is attracted
Pressure.Wherein, first voltage is 70% or more of relay voltage rating, it is preferred that 80% or more, second voltage is relay
About the 50% of voltage rating.Specifically, if between the contact contacted with armature, i.e., voltage between A, B voltage U between contactAB,
Voltage U between the contact is detected in the actuation verification step S1AB, judge voltage U between the contactABWhether major loop (electricity is equal to
Net) voltage rating, if voltage is consistent with the voltage rating of the major loop between the contact, relay is not attracted;Conversely,
If the voltage rating of voltage and the major loop is inconsistent between the contact, relay is attracted.It is with coil rating voltage
For the relay of 24VDC, the realization of the control method is described in detail in conjunction with Fig. 2.
According to description above it is found that when confirmation signal is high level, triode Q1 conducting, resistance R3 accesses circuit,
When the confirmation signal is low level, triode Q1 is not turned on, and resistance R3 does not access circuit.The then Vsense of control unit 3
It is different according to above two different situations to terminate the feedback signal received.So as to according to the circuit meter of resistance R1, R2, R3
Calculation may determine that whether relay is attracted.Specifically, when relay is attracted, triode Q1 conducting, resistance R3 accesses circuit, compares
When resistance R3 does not access circuit, resistance is less than R1 after R1 and R3 are in parallel, and according to voltage divider principle, Vsense receives feedback signal electricity
Pressure increases, then the duty ratio reduction of PWM output leads to output voltage Vout reduction, so as to realize relay coil voltage
Control.It is specifically described below.
In circuit shown in Fig. 2, in positive and negative voltage input end input direct-current low pressure 24VDC, it is attracted confirmation circuit first
1 judges the attracting state of relay, and when determining relay and not being attracted, the confirmation signal is low level, triode Q1
It being not turned on, R3 does not access circuit, it is not involved in the setting of output voltage, described in working principle as above,
At this point, adjustable voltage Vout is set as 80% or more of relay voltage rating by voltage feedback circuit, this implementation
It is 20V in example, after PWM step-down switching power supply receives feedback signal, adjusts output voltage, make output voltage stabilization in 20V, greatly
In the 70% both 16.8VDC of voltage rating 24VDC, then relay can be reliably attracted.
On the other hand, it determining relay and has been attracted when being attracted confirmation circuit 1, confirmation signal is high level at this time, three
Pole pipe Q1 conducting, R3 accesses circuit, described in working principle as above, at this point, coil voltage feedback control circuit is by adjustable voltage
Vout is set as 50% or so of relay voltage rating, is 12V in present case, PWM step-down switching power supply receives feedback letter
After number, output voltage is adjusted, makes output voltage stabilization in 12V, relay is made to keep attracting state.
The control device and method of relay coil of the invention are described above.Side according to the present invention
Case, after being attracted relay with high voltage (for example, 80% or more of voltage rating), then to reduce coil voltage (specified
The 50% of voltage) keep attracting state.
Since big variation will not occur in certain temperature range for relay coil D.C. resistance, according to coil direct current
The heating principle of resistance, coil loss P=U2/R reduce coil both end voltage, and the loss of coil can be greatly reduced, and compare as follows:
Voltage rating: P1=U2/R;
50% voltage rating: P2=(0.5U)2/ R=0.25U2/R
As it can be seen that be reduced to voltage rating lower coil to be lost 1/ can be lost in relay coil by scheme according to the invention
4, effects of energy conservation and environmental protection is obvious, and relay surface temperature rise can be effectively reduced, its operating temperature is made to remain at low levels,
To effectively improve the reliability and service life of relay.Meanwhile also avoiding under closed electrical appliance kit hot environment, multiple
Heat accumulation caused by when relay uses simultaneously, that is, the temperature for reducing interior of electrical box makes other electronic components use the longevity
Life also greatly improves.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, is not intended to restrict the invention, for those skilled in the art
For, the invention can have various changes and changes.All any modifications made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are equal
Replacement, improvement etc., should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
