Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, a circuit arrangement for carrying out the method is specified in claim 4.
  • the holding phase can only start when the armature has been reliably attracted by the magnet, since the holding current is sufficient to hold an armature that has been tightened in the working position, but not to attract the armature.
  • Circuits are therefore known which are based on measuring the current rise during the excitation of the coil and which detect a possibly occurring negative value of the first derivative of the current rise in order to derive a hit detection therefrom.
  • the functional reliability of such circuits has not proven itself, in particular they are heavily dependent on the supply voltage and, in particular, no longer function if the supply voltage increases.
  • This evaluation circuit is relatively complicated and requires fine measuring methods.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a switching arrangement corresponding to the method, which enables reliable determination of whether the armature is an electromagnet in the working or in the rest position.
  • the invention is based on a clocked power supply in the holding phase for the electromagnet, wherein the supply current for the electromagnet is always switched off when it exceeds an upper limit value and is switched on again when it falls below a lower limit value.
  • the current flow does not suddenly increase due to the inductance of the magnet, and during the switch-off process it does not drop suddenly, a free-wheeling circuit being able to provide a longer maintenance of a current flow through the magnet.
  • the clock frequency is dependent on the supply voltage, the temperature of the coil and the inductance of the magnet.
  • the deviations in the clock frequency caused by temperature changes and also by the change in the supply voltage are negligibly small compared to the deviations caused by the changes in the inductance of the magnet due to the fact that the magnet has a significantly different inductance in the working state, i.e. with the armature plate attracted than in the rest position, in which the armature plate is spaced from the pole faces.
  • the change in the clock frequency caused thereby is evaluated, so that reliable detection is possible as to whether the magnet has attracted the armature plate or not.
  • FIG. 2 shows a circuit in which an electromagnetic consumer 10 has a freewheeling circuit 12 lying parallel to it, which is indicated by a diode.
  • This electromagnetic consumer 10 with its free-wheeling circuit 12 is connected to a supply voltage 14 on one side, the other side is connected at 16 to ground.
  • an output stage 18 or a switching element which is indicated here as a transistor, it is possible to let the current flow from the positive pole 14 through the electromagnetic consumer 10 to the ground connection 16. If the output stage 18 is blocked, the current flows from the coil 10 via its free-wheeling circuit 12.
  • a measuring resistor 26 is provided in the freewheeling circuit 10, 12, from which information about the current strength is tapped via a line 24. This information is fed to a control circuit 22, which also receives external control signals via an input 20.
  • the rising phase is designated with the letter A
  • the falling phase with the letter B.
  • the duration of the interval A + B determines the frequency of the clocking.
  • This frequency value can be tapped at the output of the control circuit 22, there even as a clean square-wave signal, and is fed to a frequency measuring element 30.
  • the frequency measuring element 30 detects this frequency and compares it with a predetermined reference value, and if the actual value deviates too much from the target value, the frequency element 30 emits an error signal to the control circuit 22.
  • Fig. 1 the curves for the frequency of the clock current for the electromagnetic consumption 10 for the two different positions of the anchor plate are shown and designated by the letters K 1 and K 2 .
  • K 1 and K 2 the curves for the frequency of the clock current for the electromagnetic consumption 10 for the two different positions of the anchor plate are shown and designated by the letters K 1 and K 2 .
  • a comparison makes it easy to see that the frequency of the curves undergoes a significant change depending on whether the anchor plate is tightened or not.
  • the frequency change is up to 50%, so that there is a significant and easily evaluable value to determine whether the anchor plate has been tightened or not.
  • a signal is generated in the control circuit 22, which has received this information from the frequency measuring element 30, and a new switch-on process is started.
  • a first switch-on current with a high amplitude is generated, while the current strength of the subsequent holding current can be significantly lower and has a current strength that is only about 20% of the maximum switch-on current.
  • the circuit according to the invention can be used to control a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, which is held in its end positions by electromagnetic force.
  • the working position of the armature corresponds to an excited magnet that holds the gas exchange valve in the open position
  • the second work position corresponds to the excitation of a second magnet that holds the gas exchange valve in the closed position. Since a malfunction would result in the combustion process failing, immediate and reliable detection is essential. As soon as a failure of the system is reported by the function monitoring according to the invention, a restart is initiated in order to bring the gas exchange valve into the intended working position.
