Definitions
- the invention relates to a vibration generator for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer, consisting of a push-pull oscillator circuit containing an amplifier with inductive feedback and a piezoceramic atomizer element with an inductive feedback to the input of the amplifier.
- Such vibrators for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer are used in inhalation devices, fuel atomizer systems, humidifiers, paint atomizers and similar devices.
- they can consist of a separate oscillator and adapter circuit for the piezoceramic atomizer element that does not influence these circuit parts, but on the other hand, due to its selective properties, this atomizer element can be part of the oscillator and adapter circuit.
- a feedback high-frequency generator with a piezoelectric oscillator is known (DE-AS 1 286 627), the input-side control pulses of which are derived indirectly from the supply circuit for the piezoelectric oscillator.
- a transformer is used, through whose primary winding the supply current for the piezoelectric oscillator is conducted and through whose secondary winding the control signals for the inputs of the high-frequency generator are derived.
- An adjustable capacitance is arranged to correct the vibration behavior of the piezoelectric vibrator.
- Vibration generators for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer are described in DE-OS 25 24 862 and 21 29 665. Such circuits work with a voltage supply derived from the mains voltage (220/110 V) with operating voltages of around 40 volts. Your component requirements are large and sometimes require special transducer designs. In operation, fluctuations in load show incorrect origins of the vibration generator in relation to the atomizer resonance of the piezoceramic atomizer element, which lead to the vibration of the vibration generator being chipped off or hindering the safe oscillation of this generator in the start-up phase. The excitation of other vibration modes of the atomizer element which are not suitable for atomization and which impede the safe handling of a liquid atomizer is possible as well as undesirable.
- the object of the invention is to provide a circuit which swings safely at low operating voltages, detunes only significantly under load (for example less than 5%) and manages with a few active and passive components, and is excited exclusively on the atomizer resonance and is suitable for battery or accumulator operation.
- a feedback-inductance-tunable, frequency-selective resonant circuit for tuning the supply circuit to the atomizer frequency is arranged, which in the coordinated case drives the amplifier in phase with the load current flowing through it.
- the oscillation condition for this one frequency band-limited by the selective sensor and possible in the piezoceramic atomizer of the oscillation generator circuit is fulfilled, but at the same time that for the piezoceramic Atomizer element also possible other vibration modes are damped.
- the oscillation generator circuit thus oscillates only at the desired frequency, which is limited by the selective sensor element, even if it is adjacent to the atomizing frequency, but outside the selection range of the sensor, a resonance frequency or mode that is more easily excitable without this selection means.
- the amplifier is designed with differential inputs and differential outputs and on the output side contains the primary side of a feedforward transformer as a symmetrical load and the secondary side of the feedforward transformer is loaded by a selective connection of piezoceramic atomizer element and a series connection of this via resonance transformers coupled parallel resonance circuit, via whose primary winding the voltage to be fed back is tapped, which drives the differential inputs of the amplifier in a push-pull manner to excite vibrations.
- a reliable vibration generator circuit with a piezoceramic atomizer element can be achieved with just a few components.
- a special design of the atomizer element for deriving the positive feedback voltage is not necessary for this.
- the Mitkopplungsbe Serving to simplify vibrations is achieved by appropriate polarity (decoupling in opposite directions to the input winding) of the positive feedback transformer.
- a configuration of the circuit is used in which an adaptation choke is connected in parallel with the atomizer element.
- the matching choke which is parallel to the atomizer element, becomes more important because the high load currents of the oscillating circuit at the finite internal resistance of the control circuit with its voltage source lead to voltage drops in the event of resonance.
- the atomizer resonance With the series resonance character closely adjacent vibration mode, with the parallel resonance character is shifted such that it lies outside the bandwidth of the current sensor, which it would otherwise influence; it proves even more important here that a resonance increase in the atomizer mode also takes place in the event of voltage dips.
- the frequency of the generated vibration is determined in a band-limited manner by the parallel resonance circuit, which is matched to the atomizer frequency of the piezoceramic atomizer element. This achieves a safe start-up and safe operation of the circuit on the atomizer resonance, from which it hardly deviates even under load. A avoidance of the vibration generator to a different vibration mode of the atomizer element is avoided.
- the parallel resonant circuit which is located in the supply circuit of the piezoceramic transducer via an autotransformer, a potential-isolating transformer or a capacitive coupling, can be capacitively or inductively adjusted, or the adjustment can consist of a combination of both methods. This minimizes the adjustment work when changing the transducer, in the cheapest method for an adjustment process of an element.
- the reliability and susceptibility of the vibration generator to failure increases with the small number of components and balancing elements that are prone to failure.
- the amplifier is formed by a differential amplifier circuit of two transistors, which contains the primary side of the positive feedback transformer, which has a supply voltage applied to a center tap, as a collector circuit.
- a vibration generator can be constructed with a minimum of components, which, thanks to its push-pull arrangement, manages with low operating voltages and is very reliable due to its symmetrical structure. If you want to do without the symmetrical structure, a circuit arrangement is also possible in which only one collector of the differential amplifier is loaded by the primary side of the positive feedback transformer.
- a diode is arranged between the bases of the differential amplifier transistors in the reverse direction, polarized against a fixed potential, and by rectifying part of the positive feedback voltage simultaneously leads to the symmetry of the amplifier control and provides the basic control current.
- this arrangement prevents the accumulation of charges in the base zones of the transistors from causing the switching times to be extended.
- the amplifier has a differential amplifier input consisting of two transistors, the two bases of which are driven in a push-pull manner and one of which is separated from the common emitter point by a diode which is polarized in the reverse direction, via a series resistor from the supply voltage source with the starting current for both Bases of the differential amplifier transistors is supplied. It is quite irrelevant whether the base resistance provided for starting the circuit is designed symmetrically for both bases of the differential amplifier, symmetrically via a center tap on the primary side of the resonance transformer for the parallel resonant circuit, or asymmetrically feeding the starting current at any point on the base circuit.
- the circuit arrangement of the diodes which are polarized in the reverse direction which receives the base current of the transistors via rectification of the feedback part of the oscillator signal, ensures an independent basic supply of the differential amplifier.
- the ultrasonic liquid atomizer operates from an operating voltage of 1 volt, which is of great importance for battery devices or operation on accumulators .
- Simplified manufacturing conditions can be achieved from the training of the resonance transformer of the parallel resonant circuit by using an easier-to-manufacture autotransformer.
- Simplified manufacturing conditions can be achieved from the training of the resonance transformer of the parallel resonant circuit by using an easier-to-manufacture autotransformer.
- a parallel resonant circuit formed from an untapped coil and a capacitance in the current path is sufficient as a selective current sensor.
- Fig. 1 shows a vibrator for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer.
- Fig. 2 shows the discrete structure of a vibration generator for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer with a low supply voltage.
- a vibration generator for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer is shown.
- the direction of winding on the secondary side of the positive feedback transformer 14 is selected such that one, the oscillation, via the taps on the resonant circuit Exciting positive feedback of the amplifier 11 arises.
- the atomizer resonance of the piezoceramic atomizer element 15 is set by the adjustable inductance of the parallel resonant circuit 18 coupled via resonance transmitters.
- FIG. 2 shows a vibration generator for an ultrasonic liquid atomizer with an amplifier circuit, which consists of two npn-Si transistors 21, 22 in differential amplifier arrangements, the collectors of which are connected to the positive supply voltage 24 via a tapped primary winding of the positive feedback transformer 23.
- the positive feedback transformer 23 is loaded by the parallel connection of the atomizer element 25 with its matching choke 26 and the parallel resonant circuit 28 connected in series via the resonance transformer 27.
- the positive feedback voltage is tapped across the primary winding of the resonance transformer 27 and applied to the bases of the differential amplifier transistors 21, 22.
- the phase of this positive feedback voltage is achieved by the winding sense of the secondary winding of the positive feedback transformer.
- the resistor 29 between the positive supply voltage terminal and the base of the transistor 21 supplies the base current of the differential amplifier which is necessary for starting the circuit and which, in the event of operation, establishes its base potential via the diodes 30, 31 by rectifying part of the positive feedback voltage.
- the control of the bases with respect to the common emitter point is symmetrized by the respective conductive diode.
- the common emitter point of the differential amplifier which is connected to the two anodes of the diodes 30 and 31, which are polarized in the reverse direction between the emitter and the base of the transistors, is at the negative terminal of the supply voltage 24, which can be a minimum value of approximately 1 volt.
- the starting resistor can be divided into two symmetrical resistors which are assigned to the respective bases, and it can also act as a single resistor 29 at each point of the circuit which is connected on the secondary side to the positive feedback transformer and is in galvanic connection with the bases of the differential amplifier .
