Abstract

Driver circuits for a fluid dispenser operable to dispense a fluid onto a substrate. One driver circuit uses high and low voltage busses to provide a quick pull-in current. Flyback current during a transition to a hold current is clamped to the high voltage bus to return energy to the high voltage bus, which is a capacitor. Another driver circuit uses transitional current references to control coil current at the initial pull-in transition and at the transition from pull-in to hold. In the transition from pull-in to hold, the flyback coil current is modulated between a flyback mode and a freewheel mode.

Description

Switch mode gun driver and method thereof
It is the rights and interests of 60/567,264 U.S. Patent application that the application requires in the application number that submit to April in 2004 30, and its full content is comprised and as a reference fully at this.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to be used to distribute flowable material, wait until on-chip fuid distribution system (fluid dispensing system) such as adhesive, sealant, filler, and the drive circuit that more specifically, relates to the work of the solenoid actuated valve that is used for control distribution rifle (dispensing gun).
Background technology
Having developed fluid distributes rifle to be used for the accurate dispensing applications of placing fluid (for example, adhesive) to mobile substrate (for example, on packing or the woven product) of needs.An example of this distribution system is in U.S. Patent No. 5,812, proposes in 355, and its full content is comprised and as a reference fully at this.This distribution system employing drive circuit is controlled the solenoidal work in the fluid distributor.Stepped current waveform as shown in Figure 9 is used to the work of the distributing valve in the control dispenser.For opening valve, drive circuit will have leading into electric current (pull-in) 80 of quick startup slope 38 and be added to solenoid coil with the fast retractile valve cage and begin to open dispensing orifice at assignment period.Then, progressively be reduced to the maintenance electric current 40 of maintaining valve sleeve at 37 electric currents at open position.Keep electric current less than leading into electric current; And therefore, use less maintenance electric current to reduce during assignment period, in solenoid coil and distributing valve, produce heat.Drive circuit provides solenoidal quick demagnetizationization 42 then, makes that valve cage is quick closedown on the hole in the ending of assignment period.
Though aforesaid gun driver is functional, still can keeps punching and improve its performance.For example, usually, be provided to the electric current of coil from row voltage (line voltage) by power switch.Therefore, going any variation of voltage changes from the output voltage of power circuit and offers the solenoidal electric current of rifle.Therefore, if the amplitude of row voltage raises, armature moves quickening, and dispense adhesive too quickly.Similarly, if the amplitude of row voltage reduces, armature moves slack-off; And than slower ground of expection dispense adhesive.That does not expect arbitrarily produces waste product with adhesive dispense usually to the zone of the substrate of not wishing to receive adhesive.
The maximum operating speed of distributing valve is determined by the voltage amplitude of row voltage.Therefore, the distributing valve that is connected with 240 volts of AC power supplies faster than the work that is connected with 120 volts of AC power supplies.Therefore, need provide to have and do not rely on capable voltage and have drive circuit consistent, high speed operation.
For known gun driver, lead into electric current 80 and keep electric current 40 to keep by the modulator of the hysteresis of operating power switch usually, in solenoid coil, produce sawtooth or pulsating current thus.Between this modulation period of power switch, when switch closure, electric current increment rate in coil is determined by the amplitude of row voltage; And modulated current rises, as Fig. 9 39 shown in.In addition, when power switch is closed, the speed decay of electric current to determine by coil inductance and coil circuit impedance, as Fig. 9 41 shown in.Therefore, the frequency of the modulation of hysteresis is determined by electric current flow behavior in the solenoid coil and row voltage and is limited.And, may wish to use higher capable voltage to increase the operating rate of distributing valve, this higher capable voltage produces the current over pulse (overshoot) that increases during the current-modulation cycle, be increased in the heat in the coil thus, and the heat in the distributing valve.Like this, further need provide the operating rate that maximizes distributing valve to minimize the gun driver of the heat that adds coil to simultaneously.
Should approve, be for illustrative purposes as Fig. 9 and other waveform shown in the drawings here.Actual waveform seem may with as the shown in the drawings idealized waveform here have a lot of differently, this depends on multiple factor, includes, but are not limited to the requirement of the inductance of coil and resistance, distribution figure, heat consideration, parasitic capacitance etc.
For known gun driver, when electric current from leading into current transition when keeping electric current, as Fig. 2 168 shown in, decay with the speed of determining by coil inductance and solenoid coil circuitous resistance from the electric current coil that the reverse EMF in the magnetic field of collapse (collapsing) creates.The switching rate of this current attenuation is slow relatively, so electric current dissipates in the coil circuitous resistance as heat.Therefore, also need to be provided at, more effectively use the gun driver of the electric current in the coil that the collapse by the magnetic field in the coil produces from leading current transition to keeping during the electric current and remove from coil under the situation of power supply.
Also known use gun driver is to operate a plurality of distributing valves.If those distributing valves are connected in series, need operate gun driver better to be controlled at the electric current in the solenoid coil that is connected in series with current control mode.But,, then wish to be added to better control the voltage at the parallel circuit two ends of solenoid coil with voltage mode operation gun driver if those distributing valves are connected in parallel.For known system, voltage mode control needs gun driver to have the design different with the gun driver that is used for Controlled in Current Mode and Based.Therefore, need provide the gun driver that can optionally be used to provide voltage mode control or Controlled in Current Mode and Based.
Therefore, need provide the gun driver that can solve above-mentioned needs.

The specific embodiment
With reference to figure 1, distributing valve 20 has and is set to optionally to be blocked in the valve seat 26 the movably armature or the valve cage 22 of the dispensing orifice 24 that forms.To be extended by the mode of solenoid 27 controls and to shrink, wherein solenoid 27 has solenoid 28 to valve cage 22, is used to provide the repeatably distribution figure of fluid to mobile substrate with respect to valve seat 26.Generally speaking, solenoid surround the magnetic pole (not shown) and to its energy supply producing magnetic field with respect to magnetic pole, thereby towards magnetic pole movement of valve sleeve 22 and open distributing valve 20.In the ending of assignment period, coil 28 is no longer by energy supply, and return spring 30 makes valve cage 22 turn back to initial position, closes distributing valve 20 thus.The coil 28 of solenoid 27 is by gun driver 84 operations that comprise power circuit 86 and controller 92.Power circuit 86 has high voltage source 88, and it provides about 325 volts high-voltage bus 89 at positive terminal.
Power circuit 86 is by controller 92 operations, and controller 92 is connected to system's control 94 successively.System control 94 comprises all other distribution systems and the machine control of the need of work of distributing valve 20, for example, provides the graphics controller of triggering signal etc.This system control 94 comprises that further it provides and the user's communications link in a known way such as the input equipment of keyboard, button etc. with such as the output equipment of display, indicator lamp etc.
Controller 92 further comprises voltage mode control 96 and Controlled in Current Mode and Based 98.In parallel or be connected in series according to a plurality of distributing valves, select voltage modes control 96 and Controlled in Current Mode and Based 98 by voltage control signal 104 respectively.Voltage control signal is created by system's control 94, perhaps automatically or through the user imports.In arbitrary pattern, the fluid assignment period is started by triggering signal 100, and this triggering signal 100 has the duration of the required duration that equals the flow distribution cycle, just, opens or open the time span of distributing valve 20.The forward position of triggering signal 100 (leading edge) begins to lead the work into timer 102, and this leads into timer 102 provides the output pulse to Controlled in Current Mode and Based 98 and voltage mode control 96 successively.If selected voltage mode signal in the voltage mode control 96, online 104 to uprise and enable multiplexer 106,108,110 to be delivered in signal in their inputs 112,114,116 separately to their output separately.If selected Controlled in Current Mode and Based, the signal step-down on then online 104; And operation multiplexer 106,108,110 will be delivered to their output separately at the signal in their inputs 118,120,122 separately.
If the user has selected Controlled in Current Mode and Based, leading into timer 102 in controller 92 by forward position (beginning of its indication fluid dispense operation) starting from the triggering signal 100 of system control 94.By leading the leading duration of work of determining distributing valve 20 into the duration of timer 102 counting into the stage.The positive forward position of triggering signal 100 is provided with the trigger (flip-flop) 124 that the input 118 that height outputs to multiplexer 106 is provided simultaneously.In Controlled in Current Mode and Based, multiplexer 106 will be delivered to door (gate) driver 126 from the height output of trigger 124, make power switch 128 closures of winning.Powered-down switch 128 makes and connects the end of high voltage bus 89 to distributing valve coil 28.Simultaneously, low for the flyback mode signal, multiplexer 130 is delivered to the input 122 of multiplexer 110 with high level, and the input 122 of multiplexer 110 is delivered to high level second gate driver 132 that is used for closed second source switch 134 again successively.When power switch 128 and 134 closures, current path is from high voltage bus, by first power switch 128, distributing valve coil 28 and second source switch 134.
Be provided at the high signal of output on 103 under the situation of current waveform generator 99 leading timer 102, current waveform generator 99 provides and leads the input 140 to the comparator 142 with lagged value into electric current set-point (setpoint) 150.At this moment, the electric current minimum, as Fig. 2 147 shown in; And the current feedback signal in input 144 is less than leading into electric current set-point 150.Like this, the output of comparator 142 is high.This high signal is delivered to the input 120 of multiplexer 108 and is delivered to the gate driver 152 of connecting first power switch 154.
Therefore, lead into electric current for starting in current-mode, the forward position of triggering signal 100 makes and power switch 128,134 and 154 closures thus about 325 volts voltage is added to solenoid coil from high-voltage bus 89.Application in the high voltage bus at coil 28 two ends provides maximum current change rate and very high leading into current conversion speed, as Fig. 2 136 shown in.The high switching rate of leading electric current makes the electric current that flows in coil 28 very fast, predictably and as one man reach leading into current level 138 of needing.Solenoid 27 can movement of valve sleeve 22 speed determine that by the magnetic force that solenoid coil 28 produces it is again to be determined successively by the electric current in the coil.Therefore, coil current reaches leading into value of its needs more soon, and magnetic field can more quickly produce the power that is enough to the movement of valve sleeve; And valve cage can more quickly move to open position.Therefore, use high voltage bus 89 with provide in the solenoid coil electric current fast, one make peace and predictably increase, thereby be convenient to greatly distributing valve 20 fast, one make peace and predictably open.
When the electric current in distributing valve solenoid coil 28 increased, the voltage at current sense resistance 146 two ends also increased.The voltage of this expression feedback current value is provided to the sensing or second input 144 of comparator 142.According to circuit design, amplifier 148 (it has adjustable gain so that the output of electric current convergent-divergent and absolute current value to be provided) is used to provide current feedback signal to comparator 142 alternatively.When leading in coil 28 increases into electric current 136 (Fig. 2), it will arrive greater than the value of leading into electric current set-point 150.In addition, because the transmission delay in the assembly of gun driver 84, lead overshoot to be led into electric current point value be set into electric current 136, as Fig. 2 152 shown in.
When the current feedback in sensing input 144 surpassed an amplitude, this amplitude equaled leading into the set-point in input 140 and adds lagged value, and comparator 142 switches to its output low.That low signal is reversed in the input 158 that resets of trigger 124, changes trigger 124 thus and is output as low state.Trigger 124 rests in remaining assignment period and resets.Low state transfer in the input 118 of multiplexer 106 to gate driver 126, is opened this switch 128 and the connection between high voltage bus 89 and distributing valve coil 28 thus.The low state of comparator 142 also transmits by multiplexer 108, the power switch 154 that makes gate driver 152 open thus to be connected with low-voltage bus 156.Electric current flows through diode 133, coil resistance 76, solenoid coil 28 and feedback resistance 146 now.When energy dissipation of storing in coil 28 and electric current minimizing, the amplitude of the feedback current in sensing input 144 begins to descend.Deduct the amplitude of lagged value when following when it drops to the electric current set-point 150 of leading that equals to import on 140, comparator 142 changes state once more, and the output with it drives to high thus.That high state is by multiplexer 108 and make gate driver 152 closed power switches 154, is thus connected coil 28 to low-voltage bus 156.
Like this, comparator 142 is as hysteresis modulator and establishment common hysteretic levels and the positive switching rate of electric current and sawtooth or the pulsating current amplitude 164 (Fig. 2) that negative delay speed is determined by comparator 140.The use of lower voltage bus 156 causes basically overshoot still less and produces basically modulation current amplitude 164 (Fig. 2) less than the modulation current amplitude 80 (Fig. 9) by using the capable voltage generation in the known gun driver.The lower pulsating current amplitude that the pulsating current of voltage stabilizing has is many more, then makes the heat that produces in the more little and load of RMS electric current few more.By increasing average current level, the less heat of generation provides the longer life-span of distributing valve 20 and/or the performance of increase.Switching rate that reduces and lower pulsation will reduce Electromagnetic Launching.
The end of leading the angle of incidence is by determining from the sequential of leading into the state of the change output 103 of timer 102.In this, current waveform generator 99 reduces the amplitude of the set-point in input 140 to lower maintenance current value 166.In addition, the current feedback voltage in input 144 is higher than maintenance current value 166; And therefore, the output state of comparator 142 is low.This low state makes and disconnects low-voltage bus and coil 28 thus by gate driver 152 disconnecting power switch 154.
In the ending of leading into pattern, gun driver 84 can operate in the freedom (freewheel) or inertia mode (coast mode) that the energy in the coil wherein dissipates by coil circuit, and perhaps wherein the energy in the coil turns back to the flyback pattern of power supply.The free schema of operation is to be selected for low by the state that flyback mode signal 170 is switched in system's control 94.High state in the input 135 of multiplexer 130 is passed to multiplexer 110.In Controlled in Current Mode and Based, the triggering signal high state makes switch 134 remain closed.In the inertia mode of work, from decaying with the speed of determining by the resistance of the forward voltage at inductance, coil resistance 76 and diode 133 two ends of coil 28 that the reverse EMF in collapse magnetic field creates, shown in 168 the dotted line of Fig. 2 at the electric current of coil 28.The switching rate of this current attenuation is low relatively, and energy is dissipated as heat in resistance 76 and diode 133.
In addition, select the flyback pattern of work, enable input 137 what the flyback pattern in the input 170 of enabling was switched to high state and was added to multiplexer 130 by the user or by system control 94.In addition, by from leading the trailing edge reset flip-flop of creating into the sequential of timer 102 141, it is low that it makes that the output of multiplexer 130 and 110 becomes, and further make second gate driver 132 disconnect second source switches 134.By cut-off switch 134, the collapse magnetic field of coil 28 is induced-current therein, and this electric current charges to the capacitor in high-voltage power supply 88 172 effectively through the path by diode 129,133.In this situation, utilize the flyback voltage of clamper to high voltage bus 89, current conversion speed is very fast, as Fig. 2 174 shown in; And by to electric capacity 172 chargings, energy is turned back to high-voltage power supply 88 be used for follow-up use, reduced the energy loss in the distributing valve 20 thus.
In addition, the electric current in coil 28 is very fast drops to value less than the required maintenance current value 175 of Fig. 2.Again, because the propagation delay generation overshoot 176 of the assembly in the gun driver 84.When the current feedback in the sensing of comparator 142 input 144 dropped to the maintenance electric current that equals to import on 140 and point value is set deducts the amplitude of lagged value, relatively 142 switched its high state that outputs to once more.This edge transition is provided with trigger 141 and is output as height, makes gate driver 132 Closing Switch 134 once more thus.The high state of the output of comparator 142 is delivered to gate driver 152 by multiplexed 108, thereby Closing Switch 154 also is added to distributing valve coil 28 with low-voltage bus 156 once more.Comparator 142 is operating as the hysteresis modulator once more and continues Switching power switch 154 and switches on and off so that sawtooth or pulsating current 178 to be provided during remaining maintenance current phase.About leading into the described mode of current phase, pulsating current 178 more by a small margin provided the advantage that heat reduces, Electromagnetic Launching reduces and the life-span of distributing valve increases with before.
The ending of assignment period is determined by the edge of delaying of triggering signal 100.When triggering signal changed state, this edge conversion was transmitted by AND door 149,157,143, drives them and is output as low.This low state makes each power switch 128,154,134 disconnect, and disconnects the high and low voltage bus 89,156 with coil 28 thus.Along with power switch 134 disconnects, with flyback voltage through diode 129,133 clampers to high voltage bus 89; And by capacitor 172 chargings to high-voltage power supply 88, the most of dump energies in coil 28 dissipate fast, shown in 190.And the energy that turns back to power supply 88 is not converted into heat.By reducing the energy loss in distributing valve, its life-span increases; And heat reduces permission and increases operating current with its performance of further improvement.
As the selection of Controlled in Current Mode and Based, the user can select with voltage mode control 96 operation gun drivers 84, and voltage mode control 96 is used when the solenoid coil of each distributing valve 20 is connected in parallel usually.Have two mode of operations for voltage mode control 96, in other words, do not use first mode of operation of high voltage bus and second mode of operation of use high voltage bus.Below the voltage mode control that does not use high voltage bus 89 will be described at first.System's control 94 at first switches to height with the state of voltage mode control signal 104, makes multiplexer 106,108,110 that the state transfer of their inputs 112,114,116 is separately arrived their output separately thus.
The forward position of triggering signal 100 is started effectively and is led into timer 102, switches it thus and is output as height.The high state of triggering signal 100 is delivered to gate driver 132 by multiplexer 110, closed thus power switch 134.Need not the work of high voltage timer, it is low input continuously that AND door 149 has, and opens thereby keep power switch 128.Or (OR) door 151 has and second importing of leading that of being connected into timer output 103 import and be connected with the programmable square wave generator 153 that square-wave waveform 186 is provided.Multiplexer 108 is delivered to gate driver 152 with high signal, thus Closing Switch 154 and low-voltage bus 156 is added to solenoid coil 28.Therefore, the electric current of setting up in solenoid coil 28 is the function of the resistance in coil inductance and the coil circuit, shown in the electric current 188 of Fig. 3.
When leading into 102 times of advent of timer, and its output 103 becomes when low, and the electric current in solenoid coil 28 arrives its peak value, as Fig. 3 191 shown in.Under the situation that the flyback pattern is closed, become when low when leading into pulse 184, if the output of square-wave generator 153 also is low, then the input 104 of multiplexer 108 is low, disconnecting power switch 154 thus.Like this, the electric current of solenoid coil 28 dissipates in foregoing mode in free schema.
After following the end of leading pulse 184, OR door 151 begins to keep pulse 186 to transmit from square-wave generator 153 square wave.Utilize each to keep the forward position of pulse 186, the output of AND door 157 becomes height, makes driver 152 that power switch 154 is switched to connection, thereby reconnects distributing valve coil 28 to low-voltage bus 156, becomes low up to the edge of delaying that keeps pulse.In fact, when the electric current in coil 28 was decayed shown in 192, power switch 154 was by keeping pulse 186 to carry out pulse width modulation.At last, the average current value that the current attenuation in coil 28 provides to the pulse width modulation of being undertaken by the maintenance pulse 186 of power switch 154, as Fig. 3 194 shown in.By increasing respectively or reducing the duty factor that keeps pulse 186, can increase or reduce the average amplitude that keeps electric current 194.
The ending of assignment period is definite by the edge of delaying of triggering signal 100, and as previously mentioned, when triggering signal changes state, AND door 149,157,143 forbiddings power switch 128,154,134 separately.In foregoing mode, along with power switch 134 is opened, flyback voltage through diode 129,133 clampers to high voltage bus 89; And the dissipation electric current turns back to high-voltage power supply 88 and is used for follow-up use in coil 28.
In second embodiment of the voltage mode control of using high voltage bus 89, high voltage timer 145 starts with the forward position of trigger impulse 100 and high voltage pulse 182 is provided.The duration of high voltage pulse 182 can be set to the value that needs arbitrarily, and in the part of the duration of leading pulse 184 or lead on whole duration of pulse and work.With high voltage pulse 182 be input to (AND) door 149, drive it thus and be output as height.This height output makes and thus high voltage bus is added to solenoid coil 28 by gate driver 126 closed power switches 128.Electric current raises fast in solenoid coil 28, as Fig. 4 196 shown in.Determine the performance of the duration of high voltage pulse 182 with maximization distributing valve 20.High voltage pulse 182 is follow-up to be become lowly, makes the output of AND door 149 become low thus.This low state transmits by multiplexer 106, and makes gate driver 126 turn on the power switch 128, disconnects being connected of high voltage bus 89 and solenoid coil 28 thus.It is longer than high voltage pulse 182 on the duration to lead pulse 184, and its high state keeps the output of OR door 151 to be continuously height, keeps power switch 154 closures and low-voltage bus thus and continues to be connected to solenoid coil 28.Therefore, the electric current in the solenoid coil 28 continue as Fig. 4 198 shown in up to leading into timer 102 expirations.In this, the electric current in the coil is at its peak value, as Fig. 4 191 shown in.Should be appreciated that, use high voltage pulse, lead into electric current and compare the value of not using high voltage pulse will arrive its needs faster, and therefore, lead into the duration of pulse shorter when using high voltage pulse.Afterwards, the work of this embodiment of voltage mode control is described identical about first embodiment of Controlled in Current Mode and Based with the front.
Therefore, gun driver 84 gun driver compared to existing technology has lot of advantages.For example, gun driver 84 provides to work as and is used to provide Current Control or voltage-controlled single unit when using a plurality of distributing valve.And, when using Current Control or Control of Voltage,, come closed distributing valve 20 by using the high voltage of the normally used capable voltage of gun driver that is higher than prior art basically.Therefore regulating high voltage makes and provides one to make peace fast current conversion speed to make valve open immediately.
In addition, when using Controlled in Current Mode and Based,, can use the flyback pattern from leading into current transition when keeping electric current, wherein with the flyback voltage clamper to high voltage bus; And the electric current of self-reversal EMF is to electric capacity 172 chargings in the future.Therefore, storing this electric current is used for follow-up use and dissipates as heat unlike existing system.Electric current in coil reduces to the value that it needs fast and as one man.Similarly, do not consider control model, in the ending of assignment period, with the flyback voltage clamper to high voltage bus; And the electric current that uses self-reversal EMF is used to electric capacity 172 chargings.
In current control mode, be added to coil 28 by hysteresis modulation with the low amplitude pulsating current of low-voltage bus 156 through the height voltage stabilizing is provided, keep lead into and keep electric current.Compare existing capable voltage modulated system, the energy efficiency of low-voltage bus is higher and provide better electric current to regulate.
Electric capacity 172 is used as unique high-voltage power supply 88.In some applications, can uniquely capacitor 172 be charged by reverse EMF from coil 28.In other is used, the time durations of between distributing valve 20 is activating, closing, system's control 94 can provide and make gun driver 84 by disconnecting simultaneously and connecting switch 134 and 154 and come with gap with the pulse signal of distributing valves 20 of low-voltage bus 156.In other words, flow but the pulse duration of the abundant weak point that valve cage does not move is added to distributing valve coil 28 with low-voltage bus 156 at electric current.Therefore, the flyback by coil 28 is enough to electric capacity 172 chargings to be used as high-voltage power supply 88.But, should be appreciated that, in other application, can optionally the power supply (not shown) be served as the electric charge of keeping in the capacitor 172.
Second embodiment of switch mode gun driver is shown in Fig. 5 A and 5B.With reference to the timer part of the drive circuit of figure 5A, receive in input 200,202 and to start operator's order that fluids share out the work and the isolator 204 by optionally coupling transmits.Operational order is provided and is used to reset at the timer 2 08 that output 210 provides clock signal in output 206.This work order further triggers the switch 212 of enabling inclination generator 214.Comparator 216,218 and 220 and their XOR (exclusive OR) door 222,224,226 and linear switches 228,230,232 separately in output 236, provide reference current waveshape 234, as shown in Figure 6, it duplicates the desirable rifle electric current with respect to time section (profile).Current waveform 234 first or lead into the stage by three time sequential pulse T1, T2, T3 typing, it is determined ascending current benchmark 229 respectively, leads into current reference 231 and the 233 relative duration that keep current references 235 of drop-out current benchmark.
The drive part of switch mode gun driver is shown in Fig. 5 B and have an input 238,240 of the capable power supply that is connected to not voltage stabilizing.Jumper 242 is installed, and diode 244,246,248,280 is as voltage multiplie when input 238,240 is connected to 120 volts of voltage AC.When being connected to 240 volts of AC, input 238,240 and 240 removes jumper 244.When removing jumper 242, diode 244,246,248,250 connects with the bridge rectifier structure.On bus 254, provide approximately+330 volts voltage, and on bus 256, provide approximately+10 volts voltage.Circuit 257 provides the voltage that is higher than voltage bus 254, and this voltage bus 254 is given the gate drive circuit power supply of high-side switch 258, and the voltage on bus 256 is given the gate drive circuit power supply of low side switch 260.Voltage bus 256 is returned the Voltagre regulator power supply that positive electricity line ball (rail) 263 is provided, and charge pump 264 provides corresponding negative pressure-wire 266.
The Q that clock pulses on online 272 is removed trigger 274 and driven it is output as low, makes high-side switch 258 closures, thereby voltage bus 254 is added to solenoid coil 280,282 in the fluid distributor.Should be output as lowly at the Q that input clock pulses on 272 is also removed trigger 292 and driven it, it makes low side switch 260 close.The electric current that flows through coil 280,282 has by the path of low side switch 260 and by 284 monitoring of current sense resistance.Comparator 286 is relatively from the voltage of current sense resistance and the current waveform 234 that receives in input 270.When feedback voltage surpassed benchmark in input 270, default trigger 274 was opened high-side switch 258 and thus from coil 280,282 voltage take-off buses.The electric current that is caused by the reverse EMF of coil 280,282 is by diode 288 flybacks.Current feedback voltage makes comparator 286 slave flipflops 274 remove this thus and presets now less than the current waveform that increases.
This process wherein shows the waveform 281 of the electric current in the coil during the rising part T1 of current waveform 234 as shown in Figure 7.Trigger 274 is removed to provide closed high-side switch 258 voltage bus 234 is added to the output of coil 280,282 in an edge in the clock pulses 279 in input 272, is increased in the typically moving electric current of the coil midstream shown in 283 thus.When the current feedback from sensing resistor 284 surpassed the ascending current benchmark, default trigger 274 was opened high-side switch 258 thus.Electric current in coil 280,282 free (freewheel downward) downwards is typically shown in 285.If when clock pulses is added to trigger 274, feedback voltage still surpasses ascending current benchmark 270, and trigger 274 maintains its preset state.
This apply and from the process of coil 280,282 voltage take-off buses 234 at ascending current benchmark time sequential pulse T1 and lead duration of current reference time sequential pulse T2 and continue, just, rise and lead the stage during continue.During time sequential pulse T1, the ascending current reference waveform 229 on online 270 continues to increase up to arriving required leading into current amplitude.In this, start time sequential pulse T2, and leading in input 270 kept into current reference waveform 230 and to be equaled required amplitude of leading into the unanimity of electric current.In the ending of leading into the stage, time sequential pulse T3 starts wherein the drop-out current reference waveform in input 270 to be reduced to the decline stage that keeps the current reference amplitude.
It is default that time sequential pulse T3 in input 290 keeps trigger 274, and therefore, keep high-side switch 258 to disconnect.In addition, the clock pulses driving Q in input 272 is output as low, and itself and the time sequential pulse T3 in input 291 are in conjunction with providing output to make low side switch 260 disconnect.When decline current reference waveform 233 is reduced to when keeping current reference value 235, from the flyback current of coil 280,282 by the current sense resistance 298 of feedback voltage to comparator 300 is provided.Flyback current also flows through diode 288,289, thus inductive energy is turned back to power capacitor 294,296.When coil current descended fast, shown in 295 typical cases of Fig. 8, current sense resistance 298 continued to provide current feedback to arrive comparator 300.In the time of under current feedback drops to the drop-out current benchmark of importing on 302 233, comparator 300 change states and default trigger 292, closed thus low side switch 260.Electric current is switched to free schema through diode 288, reduces current attenuation speed thus, as Fig. 7 297 shown in.When the rate of decay of electric current reduced, current feedback surpassed the drop-out current benchmark 233 in input 302, thereby the state and the slave flipflop 292 that change comparator 300 are removed default.Next clock pulses in input 272 is removed trigger 292, causes that again low side switch 260 disconnects, and provides feedback current to power capacitor 294,296 thus once more.By this cycle, thereby being carried out pulse width modulation, low side switch 260 reduces electric current with quick still controllable mode, to meet drop-out current reference waveform 233, turn back to power supply up to the remanent induction energy of on coil 280,282, storing.In the ending of time sequential pulse T3, low side switch is kept closure once more, and high-side switch is with keeping 235 work of current reference waveform, keeping electric current by coil, as Fig. 6 287 shown in.
By this switch mode gun driver, monitor instantaneous rifle electric current, and with the current waveform 234 that reappears desirable electric current and the curve of the ratio of time relatively.Based on this relatively, the duty factor of the pulse-width modulator of being realized by trigger 292 is changed the current error that is caused by the change of row voltage, power-supply fluctuation, rifle inductance and rifle resistance to revise.Like this, the time average voltage that is added to rifle is controlled by the pulse width modulation of the voltage of voltage stabilizing not.As shown in Figure 6, the electric current that is used for providing coil 280,282 to flow is provided the switch mode gun driver of Fig. 5 A and 5B, as Fig. 6 299 shown in, it is roughly near current waveform 234.
