Definitions
- the invention relates to a solenoid valve with an electronic control circuit, which generates a control signal by means of which an increased excitation current from a power supply source of the excitation coil in the starting phase via a closed transistor switch and in the holding phase via a series resistor which is connected in parallel with the transistor switch then opened, a holding current which is lower than the excitation current is supplied, and with a timer and a resistor containing a capacitor upstream of the control electrode of the transistor switch.
- Solenoid valves of this type with electronic control are known from US Pat. No. 3,852,646. With these solenoid valves, an increased current is briefly passed through the excitation coil to increase the pulling force. To overcome the inertia of the moving parts of the solenoid valve and the spring force of the normally provided return spring, a much higher energy is required than to keep the valve in its switched-on state. The current requirement for fast and safe tightening of the solenoid valve is further increased by the fact that the induction of the excitation coil is substantially less in the rest position of the armature than in its working position.
- the holding current can be selected to be substantially lower, so that the heating of the solenoid valve can be kept below the permissible maximum limit, which is often around 80 ° C., even with a long duty cycle.
- Another advantage of this measure is that the switching behavior of the solenoid valves is improved as a result of the increase in the tightening force. In particular, shorter switching times can be achieved.
- the series resistor is bridged by a transistor switch during the pull-in phase.
- the transistor switch is driven by a time-delaying resistor-capacitor element, which supplies a drive signal to the control electrode of the transistor switch for the duration of its time constant, so that it switches through during the period determined by the time element and bridges the series resistor.
- the timing element itself is supplied with a negative control signal via a switching transistor or with a positive control signal via a further switching transistor.
- solenoid valves with electronic control for increasing the pulling power are known, in which a controllable rectifier is connected in series with the excitation coil.
- the ignition timing of the controllable rectifier is changed by a phase control so that the ignition occurs earlier during the pull-in phase and later during the hold phase.
- This solution which is known for example from DE-OS 25 11 564 or DE-OS 20 23 108, has the defect that an AC voltage or pulsating DC voltage or an additional clock generator is required as the operating voltage.
- a delay circuit for driving a relay which has a timing element, which consists of a series connection of resistor and capacitor, which is between two Operating voltage lines is connected, which carry a stabilized voltage, which is obtained by a series resistor in the one operating voltage line and a Zener diode arrangement connected in parallel.
- This known circuit arrangement is intended to delay the switching on of a relay.
- the object of the invention is to provide a solenoid valve with an electronic control circuit for a brief increase in the starting power, which apart from the operating voltage does not require a separate control signal.
- a solenoid valve with electronic control circuit of the type described in the introduction which is characterized according to the invention in that a voltage limiter element containing a voltage divider is connected to the lines supplying the operating voltage of the excitation coil, the voltage supply of which is connected to the tap when the control circuit is applied said control signal is removed that between the timing element and the control electrode of the transistor switch, a current amplification element designed as a Darlington transistor is connected, the base of which is connected to the connection point between the capacitor and resistor, the collector of which is connected to a control terminal of the switch and the emitter of which is connected directly to the circuit zero .
- control voltage acting on the timing element is obtained from the operating voltage itself, a separate control signal and thus also a separate control line can be dispensed with.
- a full-wave rectifier is connected upstream of the electronic control.
- the solenoid valve can be operated not only with alternating current or with direct current, but also with any polarity of the direct voltage.
- a smoothing device in the form of a smoothing capacitor can be assigned to the voltage limiter element.
- the series resistor is designed as a resistance wire, which forms part of the excitation winding.
- the series resistor thus contributes to the number of ampere turns of the excitation coil.
- the size of the actual excitation coil can be reduced or the holding current and the holding power can be reduced if the size remains the same.
- the measure results in less heating of the solenoid valve during the holding phase.
- the electronic control of the solenoid valve shown in Figure 1 consists essentially of a full-wave rectifier G1, a voltage limiter circuit with a resistor R1 and a Zener diode D1, a timing element from a resistor R2 and a capacitor C2, a current amplification element T1, which acts as a Darlington transistor is formed, an electronic switch, which is formed from two transistors T2, T3 in a Darlington circuit, and a series resistor RV.
- the operating voltage is supplied via the AC connections of the full-wave rectifier via lines 1 and 2.
- the positive connection of the full-wave rectifier G1 is connected via a line 3 to a connection of the excitation coil AE, while the other connection of the excitation coil is connected to the interconnected collectors of the transistors T2, T3.
- the emitter of the transistor T2 is connected via a line 4 to the negative terminal of the full-wave rectifier G1.
- the collector-emitter path of the transistor T2 is bridged by a series resistor RV.
- the excitation coil AE is therefore in series with the transistor T2 and the series resistor R4 connected in parallel with it.
- the base of the transistor T3 is connected to the positive line 3 via a resistor R4. Furthermore, the base of the transistor T3 is connected to the common collector of the Darlington transistor T1, the. Emitter is connected to the negative line 4.
- the base of the Darlington transistor T1 is connected via a resistor R3 to the connection point between the resistor R2 and the capacitor C2.
- the electronic control for the solenoid valve operates as follows: To actuate the solenoid valve, an operating voltage is applied to lines 1, 2, which can be AC voltage or DC voltage with any polarity. This voltage reaches the full-wave rectifier G1 and the lines 3, 4 to the series connection of the excitation coil AE and the transistor T2 with the series resistor RV connected in parallel.
- the base of transistor T3 receives a positive voltage via resistor R4, transistor T3 becomes conductive and also drives transistor T2 into its conductive state. Only a small voltage of a few tenths of a volt drops across the collector-emitter path of the transistor T2, so that the excitation coil AE is practically subjected to the full operating voltage.
- the charging of the capacitor C2 begins via the resistor R2 to a voltage which is determined by the zener diode D1.
- This voltage is smoothed by a capacitor C1 which is connected in parallel to the zener diode D1.
- the voltage of the capacitor C2 passes through the resistor R3 to the base of the Darlington transistor T1.
- this voltage reaches a certain value, namely the base-emitter voltage of the Darlington transistor T1
- the Darlington transistor T1 is turned on and the voltage at the base of transistor C3 drops so much that transistor T3 is turned off, thereby also controlling transistor T2 to its non-conductive state.
- the series resistor RV is fully effective for limiting the current flowing in the excitation winding AE.
- a capacitor C3 which bridges the collector-base path. Furthermore, a series circuit comprising a freewheeling diode D2 and a zener diode D3 is provided in parallel with the excitation winding, the diodes having opposite polarity. These diodes are used to reduce the switch-off voltage peaks.
- the diode D2 blocks the current flow during the switch-off process at a reverse voltage of approximately 0.8 volts, which results in a slowdown in the switch-off process of the magnet system.
- Zener diode D3 raises this relatively low reverse voltage from 0.8 to, for example, 30 volts, which reduces the delay in decay of the magnet system.
- the Zener diode D3 can also be omitted, but it is particularly useful when operating at relatively high supply voltages.
- the control current to be applied by the timing element is reduced to a very low value.
- the resistor R2 can therefore be selected to be relatively large, while the capacitor C2 can be selected to be relatively small. This enables a space-saving design which enables the electronic control circuit to be installed in a cavity of the solenoid valve.
- the capacitor C2 can also be designed for low voltages and can thereby be further reduced. Because of the voltage limitation, a relatively inexpensive version can also be chosen for the Darlington transistor T1, since a low reverse voltage is sufficient.
- the ratio of the pull-in current to the holding current or pull-in power to the holding power can be determined.
- the solenoid valve shown in FIG. 2 contains a valve body 5 and an electromagnet 6 for actuating the valve via a plunger armature 7, which is connected via a rod 8 to the valve plate 9 of the solenoid valve.
- the electromagnet 6 contains a cylindrical excitation coil 10, in which the armature 7 can dip. The armature 7 is pressed into its rest position by a return spring 11.
- the winding of the excitation coil consists of two parts, a first part 10a and a second part 10b.
- the first part 10a is the actual action, which consists for example of enamelled copper wire.
- the second part 10b is formed by the series resistor RV, which is designed for this purpose as a resistance wire.
- the series resistor RV thus contributes to the number of ampere turns. Therefore, the holding current can be reduced for a given volume of the electromagnet. This is particularly advantageous if the solenoid valve is operated with direct current. To drop the armature, a remanence force must be overcome, which is caused by the return spring 11.
- the return spring must be chosen stronger in DC systems than in AC systems, so that an increased holding power is required. For this reason, winding the series resistor as a resistance wire has a particularly positive effect on the excitation winding in direct current solenoid valves.
- the electronic control of the direct current valve according to the invention can be built up in an extremely space-saving manner. It can be accommodated, for example, in a cavity 12 of the solenoid valve and cast with potting compound, for example epoxy resin.
- the inventive design of the overexcitation of the magnetic coil can be used not only with seat valves of the type shown in FIG. 2, but also with other, in particular also with hinged armature valves, with advantage.
