Description

本発明は、例えば交流電源電圧の位相を制御して所望の負荷電流を出力する電力調整装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a power adjustment device that outputs a desired load current by controlling the phase of an AC power supply voltage, for example.

図6は従来の電力調整装置内部の概略構成を示すブロック図である。   FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration inside a conventional power adjustment apparatus.

図6に示す従来の電力調整装置100は、交流電源2及び負荷回路3間に配置し、入力端子101を通じて交流電源2からの交流電源電圧の位相を制御して、温度調節器4の温度調整信号に応じて、負荷回路3内部の負荷電源3A(交流電源2)の交流電源電圧分の所望の負荷電流を、出力端子102を通じて負荷回路3内部の負荷3Bに供給出力するものである(例えば特許文献1参照)。   6 is disposed between the AC power supply 2 and the load circuit 3 and controls the phase of the AC power supply voltage from the AC power supply 2 through the input terminal 101 to adjust the temperature of the temperature regulator 4. In response to the signal, a desired load current corresponding to the AC power supply voltage of the load power supply 3A (AC power supply 2) inside the load circuit 3 is supplied and output to the load 3B inside the load circuit 3 through the output terminal 102 (for example, Patent Document 1).

電力調整装置100は、入力端子101を通じて交流電源2からの交流電源電圧をトランス出力するトランス回路103と、このトランス回路103にてトランス出力したプラス/マイナスの両側出力電圧を全波整流する全波整流回路104と、この全波整流回路104にて全波整流した両側出力電圧、すなわち全波整流電圧に基づき、電力調整装置100全体に電力を供給する電源回路105と、全波整流回路104からの全波整流電圧に基づき、交流電源電圧の零位相を検出して零クロス信号を出力する零クロス信号出力回路106と、この零クロス信号出力回路106からの零クロス信号に基づき三角波信号を生成し、この三角波信号及び、温度調節器4の4mA〜20mAの温度調整信号に基づき、交流電源電圧の位相を制御する位相制御信号を出力する位相制御回路107と、この位相制御信号に対応したトリガ信号を出力するトリガ回路108と、このトリガ信号に対応した交流電源電圧分の負荷電流を出力するトライアック109と、この負荷電流の過電圧を抑制し、この負荷電流を、出力端子102を通じて負荷回路3に出力するスナバ回路110と、交流電源2の電源周波数を判定する周波数判定回路111とを有している。   The power adjustment apparatus 100 includes a transformer circuit 103 that outputs an AC power supply voltage from the AC power supply 2 through an input terminal 101 as a transformer, and a full wave that performs full-wave rectification on both positive and negative output voltages that are output by the transformer circuit 103. From the rectifier circuit 104, a power supply circuit 105 that supplies power to the entire power conditioner 100 based on the both-side output voltage that is full-wave rectified by the full-wave rectifier circuit 104, that is, the full-wave rectifier voltage, A zero-cross signal output circuit 106 that detects the zero phase of the AC power supply voltage and outputs a zero-cross signal based on the full-wave rectified voltage, and generates a triangular wave signal based on the zero-cross signal from the zero-cross signal output circuit 106 The phase of the AC power supply voltage is controlled based on this triangular wave signal and the temperature adjustment signal of 4 mA to 20 mA of the temperature regulator 4. A phase control circuit 107 that outputs a control signal, a trigger circuit 108 that outputs a trigger signal corresponding to the phase control signal, a triac 109 that outputs a load current corresponding to an AC power supply voltage corresponding to the trigger signal, and the load A snubber circuit 110 that suppresses overvoltage of the current and outputs the load current to the load circuit 3 through the output terminal 102 and a frequency determination circuit 111 that determines the power supply frequency of the AC power supply 2 are provided.

図7は交流電源電圧から所望の負荷電流を生成出力するまでの電力調整装置100の処理動作を示すタイミングチャートである。   FIG. 7 is a timing chart showing the processing operation of the power adjustment apparatus 100 until a desired load current is generated and output from the AC power supply voltage.

全波整流回路104は、入力端子101を通じて交流電源2から交流電源電圧(両側出力電圧)Aを全波整流して全波整流電圧Bを生成することになる。   The full-wave rectifier circuit 104 generates a full-wave rectified voltage B by full-wave rectifying the AC power supply voltage (both sides output voltage) A from the AC power supply 2 through the input terminal 101.

零クロス信号出力回路106は、周波数判定回路111の周波数判定結果を使用し、この全波整流電圧Bの内、高電位から低電位に移行する全波整流電圧Bが零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、零クロス信号Cの出力を開始し、その全波整流電圧Bの内、低電位から高電位に移行する全波整流電圧Bがプラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、零クロス信号Cの出力を終了することになる。   The zero cross signal output circuit 106 uses the frequency determination result of the frequency determination circuit 111, and of the full wave rectified voltage B, the full wave rectified voltage B that shifts from a high potential to a low potential is fixed on the plus side near the zero phase. When the voltage threshold is lower than the threshold voltage, the output of the zero cross signal C is started. When the full wave rectified voltage B of the full wave rectified voltage B, which shifts from the low potential to the high potential, exceeds the positive fixed voltage threshold, The output of the signal C is terminated.

また、位相制御回路107は、零クロス信号Cをトリガにして抵抗及びコンデンサ等で構成する充放電回路で交流電源電圧の半サイクル毎に三角波信号を生成するものであって、零クロス信号Cの出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号Dの生成を開始し、次の零クロス信号Cの出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号Dの生成を終了することで三角波信号Dを生成出力し、周波数判定回路111の周波数判定結果を使用し、この三角波信号D及び温度調節器4の温度調整信号Eの交点の時間幅に相当する位相制御信号Fを出力することになる。   The phase control circuit 107 generates a triangular wave signal every half cycle of the AC power supply voltage by a charge / discharge circuit composed of a resistor, a capacitor and the like using the zero cross signal C as a trigger. The generation of the triangular wave signal D is started in accordance with the output end timing, the generation of the triangular wave signal D is ended in accordance with the output start timing of the next zero cross signal C, and the triangular wave signal D is generated and output. Thus, the phase control signal F corresponding to the time width of the intersection of the triangular wave signal D and the temperature adjustment signal E of the temperature controller 4 is output.

さらに、トリガ回路108は、位相制御信号Fに対応したトリガ信号Gを出力する。その結果、トライアック109は、トリガ信号Gに対応する負荷電流Hを出力することになる。尚、負荷電流Hの出力量は、温度調節器4の温度調整信号Eに応じて所望の出力量を調整するものである。   Further, the trigger circuit 108 outputs a trigger signal G corresponding to the phase control signal F. As a result, the triac 109 outputs a load current H corresponding to the trigger signal G. Note that the output amount of the load current H is to adjust a desired output amount according to the temperature adjustment signal E of the temperature regulator 4.

このように従来の電力調整装置100によれば、安定した交流電源電圧Aを全波整流した全波整流電圧B及びプラス側固定電圧閾値に基づき零クロス信号Cを生成し、この零クロス信号Cに基づき三角波信号Dを生成し、この三角波信号Dを基準にして温度調節器4の温度調整信号Eに応じた位相制御信号Fを出力し、この位相制御信号Fに相当するトリガ信号Gに対応した交流電源電圧分の負荷電流Hを出力するようにしたので、安定した交流電源電圧Aから、温度調節器4の温度調整信号Eに応じた所望負荷電流Hを負荷回路3に対して供給出力することができる。
特開2005−346475号公報(段落番号「0054」〜「0057」及び図18及び図19参照)
As described above, according to the conventional power conditioner 100, the zero cross signal C is generated based on the full wave rectified voltage B obtained by full wave rectification of the stable AC power supply voltage A and the positive fixed voltage threshold value. A triangular wave signal D is generated based on the triangular wave signal D, a phase control signal F corresponding to the temperature adjustment signal E of the temperature regulator 4 is output based on the triangular wave signal D, and a trigger signal G corresponding to the phase control signal F is supported. Since the load current H corresponding to the AC power supply voltage is output, the desired load current H corresponding to the temperature adjustment signal E from the temperature controller 4 is supplied to the load circuit 3 from the stable AC power supply voltage A. can do.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-346475 (see paragraph numbers “0054” to “0057” and FIGS. 18 and 19)

しかしながら、このような従来の電力調整装置100においては、零クロス信号出力回路106にて、全波整流電圧Bの内、高電位から低電位に移行する全波整流電圧Bがプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、零クロス信号Cの出力を開始し、全波整流電圧Bの内、低電位から高電位に移行する全波整流電圧Bがプラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、零クロス信号Cの出力を終了することで零クロス信号Cを生成し、この零クロス信号Cに基づき、位相制御の基準となる三角波信号Dを生成することになるが、例えば海外のように交流電源2の交流電源電圧が不安定な地域の場合、図8に示すように、例えば電圧歪やノイズの影響で交流電源電圧Aに大きな電圧ドロップαが発生し、この電圧ドロップαの発生で全波整流電圧Bがプラス側固定電圧閾値を下回ると、真の零クロス信号Cの出力タイミング以外のタイミングで不要な零クロス信号βを出力してしまうため、この不要な零クロス信号βの影響で交流電源電圧の半サイクル期間で複数の三角波信号が生成されてしまい、この三角波信号の乱れで正常な位相制御を行うことができず、その結果、温度調整信号Eに応じた所望負荷電流Hの出力量を得ることができなくなる。   However, in such a conventional power adjustment device 100, the zero-cross signal output circuit 106 uses the full-wave rectified voltage B that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages B as the positive fixed voltage threshold value. The output of the zero cross signal C is started when the frequency becomes below, and when the full wave rectified voltage B of the full wave rectified voltage B that shifts from the low potential to the high potential becomes equal to or higher than the positive fixed voltage threshold, By terminating the output, a zero cross signal C is generated, and based on this zero cross signal C, a triangular wave signal D serving as a reference for phase control is generated. For example, the AC power source of the AC power source 2 is used overseas. In a region where the voltage is unstable, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, a large voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage A due to the influence of voltage distortion or noise, and the full-wave rectified voltage B is generated by the generation of the voltage drop α. Positive side fixing If the voltage threshold value is not reached, an unnecessary zero cross signal β is output at a timing other than the output timing of the true zero cross signal C. Therefore, in the half cycle period of the AC power supply voltage due to the influence of this unnecessary zero cross signal β. A plurality of triangular wave signals are generated, and the normal phase control cannot be performed due to the disturbance of the triangular wave signals. As a result, the output amount of the desired load current H according to the temperature adjustment signal E cannot be obtained. .

また、交流電源電圧の電圧ドロップαに考慮して、単にプラス側固定電圧閾値を下げることも考えられるが、このプラス側固定電圧閾値を下げ過ぎると、零クロス信号の時間幅が極端に狭くなり、次の交流電源電圧の半サイクルが全ONしてしまう転流時の誤点弧が発生する虞がある。   In addition, considering the voltage drop α of the AC power supply voltage, it is possible to simply lower the positive fixed voltage threshold, but if the positive fixed voltage threshold is lowered too much, the time width of the zero cross signal becomes extremely narrow. There is a risk of false firing at the time of commutation in which the next half cycle of the AC power supply voltage is fully turned on.

本発明は上記点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、交流電源電圧の電圧歪やノイズ影響で電圧ドロップが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止して交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望の負荷電流量を得ることができる電力調整装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object of the present invention is to ensure the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation even when voltage drop occurs due to voltage distortion of the AC power supply voltage or noise. To provide a power adjustment device that can reliably prevent unnecessary zero-crossing signal output and ensure normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage, thereby obtaining a desired load current amount. It is in.

上記目的を達成するために本発明の電力調整装置は、交流電源電圧の零位相を検出して零クロス信号を出力する零クロス信号出力手段と、この零クロス信号に基づき三角波信号を生成し、この三角波信号及び指令信号に基づき、前記交流電源電圧の位相を制御する位相制御信号を出力する位相制御手段と、この位相制御信号に対応したトリガ信号を出力するトリガ信号出力手段と、このトリガ信号に対応した交流電源電圧分の負荷電流を出力するスイッチング制御素子とを有する電力調整装置であって、前記零クロス信号出力手段は、前記交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近のマイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の極性反転電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記極性反転電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了する零クロス信号出力制御手段を有するようにした。   To achieve the above object, the power adjustment device of the present invention detects a zero phase of an AC power supply voltage and outputs a zero cross signal, and generates a triangular wave signal based on the zero cross signal. Based on the triangular wave signal and the command signal, phase control means for outputting a phase control signal for controlling the phase of the AC power supply voltage, trigger signal output means for outputting a trigger signal corresponding to the phase control signal, and the trigger signal And a switching control element that outputs a load current corresponding to an alternating current power supply voltage corresponding to the above, wherein the zero cross signal output means shifts from a positive potential to a negative potential in the alternating current power supply voltage. When the AC power supply voltage falls below the negative set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the output of the zero cross signal is started and the polarity of the AC power supply voltage is inverted. When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential exceeds the positive set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the output of the zero cross signal is terminated, and the positive polarity reversal voltage When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from a potential to a negative potential falls below the negative side set voltage threshold, the zero cross signal starts to be output, and the AC power source that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential among the AC power supply voltages A zero cross signal output control means is provided for terminating the output of the zero cross signal when the voltage becomes equal to or greater than the plus side set voltage threshold.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近のマイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の極性反転電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記極性反転電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了するようにしたので、前記交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止して交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望の負荷電流量を得ることができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, when the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential among the AC power supply voltages becomes equal to or lower than the negative set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the zero cross signal When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential among the polarity reversal voltages of the AC power supply voltage is equal to or higher than the positive set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the zero cross signal is output. When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold, the output of the zero cross signal is started and the AC power supply voltage is When the AC power supply voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential becomes equal to or higher than the positive side set voltage threshold, the output of the zero cross signal is terminated. Therefore, even if a voltage drop occurs in the AC power supply voltage, it is possible to reliably prevent unnecessary zero-cross signal output while reliably preventing the occurrence of false firing during commutation. Normal phase control of the voltage is ensured, and as a result, a desired load current amount can be obtained.

また、本発明の電力調整装置は、前記零クロス信号出力制御手段が、前記交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近のマイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になったか否かを判定すると共に、前記交流電源電圧の内、前記マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側設定電圧閾値以上になったか否かを判定する電圧判定手段と、前記交流電源電圧の極性反転電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になったか否かを判定すると共に、前記極性反転電圧の内、前記プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になったか否かを判定する極性反転電圧判定手段と、前記電圧判定手段にて前記プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、第1コンパレート信号の出力を開始し、前記マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記第1コンパレート信号の出力を終了する第1コンパレート信号出力手段と、前記極性反転電圧判定手段にて前記マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、第2コンパレート信号の出力を終了し、前記プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記第2コンパレート信号の出力を開始する第2コンパレート信号出力手段とを有し、前記第1コンパレート信号の出力と前記第2コンパレート信号の出力とのAND条件で前記零クロス信号を出力するようにしても良い。   Further, in the power adjustment device of the present invention, the zero cross signal output control means is configured such that the AC power supply voltage that shifts from a positive potential to a negative potential among the AC power supply voltages is equal to or less than a negative set voltage threshold value near the zero phase. And whether or not the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the negative potential to the positive potential is greater than or equal to the positive set voltage threshold value near the zero phase in the AC power supply voltage. A voltage determining means for determining whether or not the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential among the polarity reversal voltages of the AC power supply voltage is equal to or greater than the positive-side set voltage threshold; The polarity reversal voltage for determining whether or not the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold. When the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential by the determination means and the voltage determination means falls below the negative side set voltage threshold, the output of the first comparator signal is started, and the positive potential is increased from the negative potential. When the AC power supply voltage that shifts to a potential becomes greater than or equal to the positive-side set voltage threshold, the first comparator signal output means for terminating the output of the first comparator signal and the negative potential at the polarity reversal voltage determination means When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the positive potential exceeds the positive set voltage threshold, the output of the second comparator signal is terminated, and the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is set to the negative side A second comparator signal output means for starting the output of the second comparator signal when the voltage is equal to or lower than a voltage threshold; And, may be output the zero-cross signal in the AND condition of the outputs of said second comparator signal of the first comparator signal.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記電圧判定手段にて前記プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、第1コンパレート信号の出力を開始し、前記マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記第1コンパレート信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記極性反転電圧判定手段にて前記マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、第2コンパレート信号の出力を終了し、前記プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記第2コンパレート信号の出力を開始し、前記第1コンパレート信号の出力と前記第2コンパレート信号の出力とのAND条件で前記零クロス信号を出力するようにしたので、前記交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止して交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望の負荷電流量を得ることができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, when the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential by the voltage determination unit becomes equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold, the first comparator signal is output. When the AC power supply voltage that starts and shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential becomes equal to or higher than the plus side set voltage threshold value, the output of the first comparator signal is terminated, and the polarity inversion voltage determining means determines the minus voltage. When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the potential to the positive potential is equal to or greater than the positive side set voltage threshold, the output of the second comparator signal is terminated, and the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is When the voltage falls below a set voltage threshold, the output of the second comparator signal is started, and the output of the first comparator signal is Since the zero cross signal is output under the AND condition with the output of the second comparator signal, even if a voltage drop occurs in the AC power supply voltage, it is ensured that erroneous firing during commutation occurs. While preventing, the output of an unnecessary zero cross signal is surely prevented to ensure the normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage, and as a result, a desired load current amount can be obtained.

また、本発明の電力調整装置は、前記零クロス信号出力手段が、前記交流電源電圧の全波整流電圧の内、高電位から低電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、修正用零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記全波整流電圧の内、低電位から高電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記プラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力を終了する修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段を有し、前記位相制御手段は、前記零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記零クロス信号及び前記修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記修正用零クロス信号に基づき、前記三角波信号を生成する三角波信号生成手段を有するようにしても良い。   Further, in the power adjustment device of the present invention, the zero cross signal output means is configured such that the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages of the AC power supply voltage is a plus near the zero phase. When the threshold voltage is equal to or lower than the fixed side voltage threshold value, the output of the correction zero cross signal is started, and the full wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential is equal to or higher than the positive fixed voltage threshold value. A correction zero-cross signal output control means for terminating the output of the correction zero-cross signal, and the phase control means outputs the zero-cross signal and the correction zero-cross signal output of the zero-cross signal output control means. You may make it have a triangular wave signal production | generation means which produces | generates the said triangular wave signal based on the said correction | amendment zero cross signal of a control means.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記交流電源電圧の全波整流電圧の内、高電位から低電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、修正用零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記全波整流電圧の内、低電位から高電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記プラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力を終了し、前記零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記零クロス信号及び前記修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記修正用零クロス信号に基づき、前記三角波信号を生成するようにしたので、零クロス信号が真の零クロスタイミングよりも若干遅れたタイミングで生成されたとしても、全波整流電圧に基づく従来の零クロス信号、すなわち修正用零クロス信号を使用することで転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages of the AC power supply voltage is less than or equal to the positive fixed voltage threshold value near the zero phase. Then, the output of the correction zero cross signal is started, and when the full wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential among the full wave rectified voltages becomes equal to or greater than the positive fixed voltage threshold, the correction zero cross signal Since the output of the signal is terminated, the triangular wave signal is generated based on the zero cross signal of the zero cross signal output control means and the correction zero cross signal of the correction zero cross signal output control means. Even if the zero cross signal is generated at a timing slightly later than the true zero cross timing, use the conventional zero cross signal based on the full-wave rectified voltage, that is, the correction zero cross signal. The occurrence of false firing at the commutation can be reliably prevented.

また、本発明の電力調整装置は、前記三角波信号生成手段が、前記零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングに応じて、前記三角波信号の生成を開始し、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて、前記三角波信号の生成を終了するようにしても良い。   Further, in the power adjustment device of the present invention, the triangular wave signal generation means starts generating the triangular wave signal according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal, and according to the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal. Then, the generation of the triangular wave signal may be terminated.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングに応じて前記三角波信号の生成を開始し、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて前記三角波信号の生成を終了するようにしたので、同三角波信号が真の零クロスタイミングを跨ぐことがないため、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, the generation of the triangular wave signal is started according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal, and the generation of the triangular wave signal is started according to the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal. Since the triangular wave signal does not cross the true zero cross timing, the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation can be reliably prevented.

また、上記目的を達成するために本発明の電力調整装置は、交流電源電圧の零位相を検出して零クロス信号を出力する零クロス信号出力手段と、この零クロス信号に基づき三角波信号を生成し、この三角波信号及び指令信号に基づき、前記交流電源電圧の位相を制御する位相制御信号を出力する位相制御手段と、この位相制御信号に対応したトリガ信号を出力するトリガ信号出力手段と、このトリガ信号に対応した交流電源電圧分の負荷電流を出力するスイッチング制御素子とを有する電力調整装置であって、前記零クロス信号出力手段は、前記交流電源電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近の第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号としてプラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上、かつ前記零位相付近の第2プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近の第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号としてマイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下、かつ前記零位相付近の第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了する零クロス信号出力制御手段を有し、この零クロス信号出力制御手段は、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力終了後、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了するまで前記第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び前記第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止し、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力終了後、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了するまで前記第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び前記第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止するようにした。   In order to achieve the above object, the power adjustment device of the present invention detects a zero phase of the AC power supply voltage and outputs a zero cross signal, and generates a triangular wave signal based on the zero cross signal. A phase control means for outputting a phase control signal for controlling the phase of the AC power supply voltage based on the triangular wave signal and the command signal; a trigger signal output means for outputting a trigger signal corresponding to the phase control signal; and And a switching control element that outputs a load current corresponding to the AC power supply voltage corresponding to the trigger signal, wherein the zero cross signal output means shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential in the AC power supply voltage. When the AC power supply voltage to be exceeded becomes the first plus side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the plus potential side zero cross signal is output as the zero cross signal. And the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal is terminated and the AC power supply voltage is increased when the first positive side set voltage threshold value is exceeded and the second positive side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase is reached. When the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential becomes equal to or lower than the first negative side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal is started as the zero cross signal. The zero cross signal output control means for terminating the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal when the negative side set voltage threshold value is less than or equal to 1 minus side set voltage threshold value and below the second negative side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase. After the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal, the signal output control means is configured to output the first positive side until the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal is completed. The voltage threshold value determining operation of the constant voltage threshold value and the second positive side set voltage threshold value is prohibited, and after the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal is finished, the first negative side signal is output until the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal is finished. The voltage threshold value judgment operation of the side set voltage threshold value and the second minus side set voltage threshold value is prohibited.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記交流電源電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近の第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号としてプラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上、かつ前記零位相付近の第2プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記零位相付近の第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号としてマイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下、かつ前記零位相付近の第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了し、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力終了後、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了するまで前記第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び前記第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止し、前記マイナス電位側零クロス信号の出力終了後、前記プラス電位側零クロス信号の出力を終了するまで前記第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び前記第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止するようにしたので、前記交流電源電圧にドロップ電圧が発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、零クロス信号の出力終了後、次の零クロス信号の出力が終了するまで設定電圧閾値の極性を逆にすることで不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止し、交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望負荷電流を出力することができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, when the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the negative potential to the positive potential among the AC power supply voltages becomes equal to or higher than the first positive side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, The output of the positive potential side zero cross signal is started as a cross signal, and when the positive potential side zero cross signal is equal to or higher than the first positive side set voltage threshold and equal to or higher than the second positive side set voltage threshold near the zero phase, When the output is terminated and the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is equal to or lower than the first negative set voltage threshold value in the vicinity of the zero phase, the zero cross signal is set to the negative potential side. When the output of the zero crossing signal is started and becomes equal to or less than the first minus side set voltage threshold value and below the second minus side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, The output of the negative potential side zero cross signal is terminated, and after the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal is terminated, the output of the first plus side set voltage threshold and the second are continued until the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal is terminated. The voltage threshold determination operation of the plus side set voltage threshold is prohibited, and after the output of the minus potential side zero cross signal is finished, the first minus side set voltage threshold and the first threshold value are output until the output of the plus potential side zero cross signal is finished. Since the voltage threshold judgment operation for the minus side set voltage threshold is prohibited, even if a drop voltage is generated in the AC power supply voltage, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation and After the output of the signal is completed, the output of the unnecessary zero cross signal is reliably prevented by reversing the polarity of the set voltage threshold until the output of the next zero cross signal is completed. To ensure proper phase control, as a result, it is possible to output a desired load current.

また、本発明の電力調整装置は、前記零クロス信号出力手段が、前記交流電源電圧の全波整流電圧の内、高電位から低電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、修正用零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記全波整流電圧の内、低電位から高電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記プラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力を終了する修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段を有し、前記位相制御手段は、前記零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記零クロス信号及び前記修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記修正用零クロス信号に基づき、前記三角波信号を生成する三角波信号生成手段を有するようにしても良い。   Further, in the power adjustment device of the present invention, the zero cross signal output means is configured such that the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages of the AC power supply voltage is a plus near the zero phase. When the threshold voltage is equal to or lower than the fixed side voltage threshold value, the output of the correction zero cross signal is started, and the full wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential is equal to or higher than the positive fixed voltage threshold value.

You may make it have a triangular wave signal production | generation means which produces | generates the said triangular wave signal based on the said correction | amendment zero cross signal of a control means.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記交流電源電圧の全波整流電圧の内、高電位から低電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、修正用零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記全波整流電圧の内、低電位から高電位に移行する前記全波整流電圧が前記プラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力を終了し、前記零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記零クロス信号及び前記修正用零クロス信号出力制御手段の前記修正用零クロス信号に基づき、前記三角波信号を生成するようにしたので、零クロス信号が真の零クロスタイミングよりも若干遅れたタイミングで生成されたとしても、全波整流電圧に基づく従来の零クロス信号、すなわち修正用零クロス信号を使用することで転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages of the AC power supply voltage is less than or equal to the positive fixed voltage threshold value near the zero phase. Then, the output of the correction zero cross signal is started, and when the full wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential among the full wave rectified voltages becomes equal to or greater than the positive fixed voltage threshold, the correction zero cross signal Since the output of the signal is terminated, the triangular wave signal is generated based on the zero cross signal of the zero cross signal output control means and the correction zero cross signal of the correction zero cross signal output control means. Even if the zero cross signal is generated at a timing slightly later than the true zero cross timing, use the conventional zero cross signal based on the full-wave rectified voltage, that is, the correction zero cross signal. The occurrence of false firing at the commutation can be reliably prevented.

また、本発明の電力調整装置は、前記三角波信号生成手段が、前記零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングに応じて、前記三角波信号の生成を開始し、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて、前記三角波信号の生成を終了するようにしても良い。   Further, in the power adjustment device of the present invention, the triangular wave signal generation means starts generating the triangular wave signal according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal, and according to the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal. Then, the generation of the triangular wave signal may be terminated.

従って、本発明の電力調整装置によれば、前記零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングに応じて前記三角波信号の生成を開始し、前記修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて前記三角波信号の生成を終了するようにしたので、同三角波信号が真の零クロスタイミングを跨ぐことがないため、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。   Therefore, according to the power adjustment device of the present invention, the generation of the triangular wave signal is started according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal, and the generation of the triangular wave signal is started according to the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal. Since the triangular wave signal does not cross the true zero cross timing, the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation can be reliably prevented.

When the AC power supply voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential among the voltages becomes equal to or higher than the positive side set voltage threshold, the zero cross signal is output. Therefore, even if a voltage drop occurs in the AC power supply voltage, it is possible to reliably prevent unnecessary zero cross signal output while reliably preventing false firing during commutation. Normal phase control of the power supply voltage is ensured, and as a result, a desired load current amount can be obtained.

Then, the output of the correction zero-cross signal is started, and when the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential among the full-wave rectified voltage exceeds the positive side fixed voltage threshold, the correction zero-cross signal is output. It ends. The correction zero-cross signal output control unit 32 corresponds to the zero-cross signal output circuit 106 described in the prior art.

位相制御回路17は、零クロス信号出力制御部31の零クロス信号及び修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32の修正用零クロス信号に基づき、位相制御の基準となる三角波信号を生成する三角波信号生成部17Aと、周波数判定回路21の周波数判定結果を使用して、三角波信号生成部17Aにて生成した三角波信号及び、温度調節器4の温度調整信号の交点の時間幅に相当する位相制御信号を出力する位相制御部17Bとを有している。   The phase control circuit 17 generates a triangular wave signal that generates a triangular wave signal serving as a reference for phase control based on the zero cross signal of the zero cross signal output control unit 31 and the correction zero cross signal of the correction zero cross signal output control unit 32. Using the frequency determination result of the unit 17A and the frequency determination circuit 21, a phase control signal corresponding to the time width of the intersection of the triangular wave signal generated by the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A and the temperature adjustment signal of the temperature controller 4 is obtained. And a phase control unit 17B for outputting.

三角波信号生成部17Aは、零クロス信号出力制御部31の零クロス信号及び修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32の修正用零クロス信号をトリガにして抵抗及びコンデンサ等で構成する充放電回路で交流電源電圧の半サイクル毎に三角波信号を生成するものであって、零クロス信号出力制御部31の零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を開始し、修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32の修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を終了することで、三角波信号を生成するものである。尚、三角波信号生成部17Aで零クロス信号及び修正用零クロス信号を使用する理由は、零クロス信号出力制御部31で出力した零クロス信号は真の零クロスタイミングを若干過ぎたタイミングで出力することになるため、そのまま、この零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を開始し、次の零クロス信号の出力終了タイミングで三角波信号の生成を終了すると、同三角波信号が真の零クロスタイミングを跨いで転流時の誤点弧を発生する虞があるため、三角波信号の生成を終了するタイミングは、真の零クロスタイミングよりも約0.3m〜0.5m秒程度早い、修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングを利用し、同三角波信号が真の零クロスタイミングを跨がないようにして転流時の誤点弧を確実に防止したものである。   The triangular wave signal generation unit 17A is an AC charging / discharging circuit configured by resistors, capacitors, and the like, triggered by the zero cross signal of the zero cross signal output control unit 31 and the correction zero cross signal of the correction zero cross signal output control unit 32. A triangular wave signal is generated every half cycle of the power supply voltage, and the generation of the triangular wave signal is started in accordance with the output end timing of the zero cross signal of the zero cross signal output control unit 31, and the correction zero cross signal output control is performed. The triangular wave signal is generated by terminating the generation of the triangular wave signal in accordance with the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal of the unit 32. The reason for using the zero cross signal and the correction zero cross signal in the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A is that the zero cross signal output from the zero cross signal output control unit 31 is output at a timing slightly beyond the true zero cross timing. Therefore, if the generation of the triangular wave signal is started according to the output start timing of the zero cross signal, and the generation of the triangular wave signal is terminated at the output end timing of the next zero cross signal, the triangular wave signal is true. Since there is a possibility of erroneous firing at the time of commutation across the zero cross timing, the timing to end the generation of the triangular wave signal is about 0.3 m to 0.5 m seconds earlier than the true zero cross timing. Using the correction zero cross signal output start timing, the triangular wave signal does not straddle the true zero cross timing, and erroneous firing at the time of commutation is reliably prevented.

次に第1の実施の形態を示す電力調整装置1の動作について説明する。図3は第1の実施の形態を示す電力調整装置1の交流電源電圧から三角波信号を生成出力するまでの処理動作を示すタイミングチャートである。   Next, the operation of the power adjustment apparatus 1 showing the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a timing chart showing the processing operation until the triangular wave signal is generated and output from the AC power supply voltage of the power adjustment apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

交流電源2からの交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップαが発生したとする。   Assume that a voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage from the AC power supply 2.

電圧判定部31Aは、交流電源2からの交流電源電圧Jに基づき、トランス回路13を通じて出力電圧Kを得る。   The voltage determination unit 31 </ b> A obtains the output voltage K through the transformer circuit 13 based on the AC power supply voltage J from the AC power supply 2.

また、同様に極性反転電圧判定部31Bは、交流電源2からの交流電源電圧Jに基づき、トランス回路13を通じて出力電圧Kの極性反転電圧Lを得る。   Similarly, the polarity inversion voltage determination unit 31 </ b> B obtains the polarity inversion voltage L of the output voltage K through the transformer circuit 13 based on the AC power supply voltage J from the AC power supply 2.

電圧判定部31Aは、トランス回路13の出力電圧Kの内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する出力電圧Kがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になったか否かを判定すると共に、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する出力電圧Kがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になったか否かを判定する。   The voltage determination unit 31A determines whether or not the output voltage K that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential among the output voltages K of the transformer circuit 13 has become equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V). It is determined whether or not the output voltage K that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential is equal to or higher than the plus side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V).

第1コンパレート信号出力部31Cは、電圧判定部31Aにてプラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する出力電圧Kがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になると、第1コンパレート信号Mの出力を開始し、電圧判定部31Aにてマイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する出力電圧Kがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になると、第1コンパレート信号Mの出力を終了することになる。   The first comparator signal output unit 31C outputs the first comparator signal M when the output voltage K that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V) in the voltage determination unit 31A. The output is started, and when the output voltage K that shifts from the negative potential to the positive potential is equal to or higher than the positive side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V) in the voltage determination unit 31A, the output of the first comparator signal M is ended. Become.

また、極性反転電圧判定部31Bは、トランス回路13の極性反転電圧Lの内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する極性反転電圧Lがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になったか否かを判定すると共に、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する極性反転電圧Lがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になったか否かを判定する。   Further, the polarity reversal voltage determination unit 31B determines whether or not the polarity reversal voltage L that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential among the polarity reversal voltages L of the transformer circuit 13 is equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V). And whether or not the polarity reversal voltage L that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential is equal to or higher than the plus side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V).

第2コンパレート信号出力部31Dは、極性反転電圧判定部31Bにてプラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する極性反転電圧Lがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になると、第2コンパレート信号Nの出力を開始し、極性反転電圧判定部31Bにてマイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する極性反転電圧Lがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になると、第2コンパレート信号Nの出力を終了することになる。   When the polarity reversal voltage L that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V) in the polarity reversal voltage determination unit 31B, the second comparator signal output unit 31D When the output of the signal N is started and the polarity inversion voltage L that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential in the polarity inversion voltage determination unit 31B becomes equal to or higher than the plus side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V), the second comparator signal N The output will be terminated.

AND回路31Eは、第1コンパレート信号出力部31Cの第1コンパレート信号Mの出力及び第2コンパレート信号出力部31Dの第2コンパレート信号Nの出力がAND条件で零クロス信号Pを出力することになる。その結果、交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、電圧ドロップαの影響で不要な零クロス信号の出力を防止することができる。   The AND circuit 31E outputs a zero cross signal P under the AND condition when the output of the first comparator signal M of the first comparator signal output unit 31C and the output of the second comparator signal N of the second comparator signal output unit 31D are AND conditions. Will do. As a result, even if the voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage, unnecessary zero cross signal output can be prevented due to the influence of the voltage drop α.

また、修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32は、従来技術でも説明した通り、全波整流回路14の全波整流電圧の内、高電位から低電位に移行する全波整流電圧が零位相付近のプラス側固定電圧閾値以下になると、修正用零クロス信号Qの出力を開始し、全波整流電圧の内、低電位から高電位に移行する全波整流電圧がプラス側固定電圧閾値以上になると、修正用零クロス信号Qの出力を終了することになる。   Further, the correction zero-cross signal output control unit 32 has a full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from a high potential to a low potential among the full-wave rectified voltages of the full-wave rectifier circuit 14 as described in the prior art. When the positive-side fixed voltage threshold is not reached, the output of the correction zero cross signal Q is started, and the full-wave rectified voltage that shifts from the low potential to the high potential among the full-wave rectified voltages is not less than the positive-side fixed voltage threshold. The output of the correction zero cross signal Q is terminated.

そして、位相制御回路17内部の三角波信号生成部17Aは、零クロス信号Pの出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号Rの生成を開始し、修正用零クロス信号Qの出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号Rの生成を終了することで、交流電源電圧Jに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、その電圧ドロップαの影響を受けることくなく、正確な三角波信号Rを生成出力することになる。   Then, the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A in the phase control circuit 17 starts generating the triangular wave signal R according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal P, and the triangular wave signal according to the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal Q. By terminating the generation of R, even if a voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage J, an accurate triangular wave signal R is generated and output without being affected by the voltage drop α.

その結果、位相制御回路17内部の位相制御部17Bは、三角波信号生成部17Aにて生成した三角波信号R及び温度調節器4の温度調整信号に基づき、位相制御信号を出力し、トリガ回路18を通じて位相制御信号に対応したトリガ信号を出力することになる。そして、トライアック19は、トリガ信号に応じて所望負荷電流を、出力端子13を通じて負荷回路3に対して供給出力することになる。   As a result, the phase control unit 17B in the phase control circuit 17 outputs a phase control signal based on the triangular wave signal R generated by the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A and the temperature adjustment signal of the temperature regulator 4, and passes through the trigger circuit 18. A trigger signal corresponding to the phase control signal is output. The triac 19 supplies and outputs a desired load current to the load circuit 3 through the output terminal 13 in accordance with the trigger signal.

第1の実施の形態によれば、電圧判定部31Aにてプラス電位からマイナス電位に移行するトランス回路13の出力電圧Kがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になると、第1コンパレート信号Mの出力を開始し、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する出力電圧Kがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になると、第1コンパレート信号Mの出力を終了すると共に、極性電圧判定部31Bにてプラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する、出力電圧Kの極性反転電圧Lがマイナス側設定電圧閾値(−0.1V)以下になると、第2コンパレート信号Nの出力を開始し、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する極性反転電圧Lがプラス側設定電圧閾値(+4.7V)以上になると、第2コンパレート信号Nの出力を終了し、第1コンパレート信号Mの出力と第2コンパレート信号Nの出力とのAND条件で、零クロス信号出力制御部31の零クロス信号Pを出力するようにしたので、交流電源電圧Jに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止して交流電源電圧Jの正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望の負荷電流量を得ることができる。   According to the first embodiment, when the output voltage K of the transformer circuit 13 that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential in the voltage determination unit 31A becomes equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V), the first comparator. When the output of the rate signal M is started and the output voltage K that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential becomes equal to or higher than the plus side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V), the output of the first comparator signal M is terminated and the polarity voltage When the polarity reversal voltage L of the output voltage K, which shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential in the determination unit 31B, becomes equal to or lower than the negative side set voltage threshold (−0.1 V), the output of the second comparator signal N is started. When the polarity reversal voltage L that shifts from the negative potential to the positive potential becomes equal to or higher than the positive side set voltage threshold (+4.7 V), the output of the second comparator signal N is terminated, and the first comparator Since the zero cross signal P of the zero cross signal output control unit 31 is output under the AND condition of the output of the rate signal M and the output of the second comparator signal N, a voltage drop α is generated in the AC power supply voltage J. Even so, it is possible to ensure the normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage J by reliably preventing the output of an unnecessary zero cross signal while reliably preventing the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation. Load current amount can be obtained.

また、第1の実施の形態によれば、零クロス信号出力制御部31の零クロス信号Pの出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号Rの生成を開始し、修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32の修正用零クロス信号Qの出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号Rの生成を終了し、三角波信号Rを生成出力するようにしたので、零クロス信号Pが真の零クロスタイミングよりも若干遅れたタイミングで生成されたとしても、全波整流電圧に基づく従来の零クロス信号、すなわち修正用零クロス信号Qの出力開始タイミングを使用することで、三角波信号Rが真の零クロスタイミングを跨ぐことがないため、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。その結果、交流電源電圧Jに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、この電圧ドロップαの影響を受けることなく、交流電源電圧Jの正常な位相制御を確保して所望負荷電流を出力することができる。   Further, according to the first embodiment, the generation of the triangular wave signal R is started according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal P of the zero cross signal output control unit 31, and the correction zero cross signal output control unit 32 Since the generation of the triangular wave signal R is terminated and the triangular wave signal R is generated and output in accordance with the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal Q, the timing at which the zero cross signal P is slightly delayed from the true zero cross timing. Even if it is generated by the above, the conventional zero cross signal based on the full wave rectified voltage, that is, the output start timing of the correction zero cross signal Q is used, so that the triangular wave signal R does not straddle the true zero cross timing. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of false ignition during commutation. As a result, even if the voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage J, the desired load current can be output while ensuring the normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage J without being affected by the voltage drop α. .

尚、上記第1の実施の形態においては、電圧判定部31A、極性反転電圧判定部31B、第1コンパレート信号出力部31C、第2コンパレート信号出力部31D及びAND回路31Eで構成する零クロス信号出力制御部31を使用して、第1コンパレート信号M及び第2コンパレート信号NのAND条件で零クロス信号Pを出力するようにしたが、次に説明する零クロス信号出力制御部を使用するようにして良く、この場合の実施の形態につき、第2の実施の形態として説明する。   In the first embodiment, the zero cross formed by the voltage determination unit 31A, the polarity inversion voltage determination unit 31B, the first comparator signal output unit 31C, the second comparator signal output unit 31D, and the AND circuit 31E. The signal output control unit 31 is used to output the zero cross signal P under the AND condition of the first comparator signal M and the second comparator signal N. The embodiment in this case will be described as a second embodiment.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration inside the zero cross signal output circuit 16A and the phase control circuit 17 which are the main parts of the power adjustment apparatus 1 showing the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment. It is a timing chart which shows the processing operation until it produces | generates and outputs a zero cross signal from the alternating current power supply voltage of the electric power adjustment apparatus 1 shown. The same components as those of the power adjustment apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

図4に示す零クロス信号出力回路16A内部の零クロス信号出力制御部41は、図5に示すように、トランス回路13の両側出力電圧Sの内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sが零位相付近の第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を開始し、第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上、かつ零位相付近の第2プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了すると共に、トランス回路13の両側出力電圧Sの内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sが零位相付近の第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を開始し、第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下、かつ零位相付近の第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了するものである。   As shown in FIG. 5, the zero-cross signal output control unit 41 in the zero-cross signal output circuit 16A shown in FIG. 4 has a double-side output voltage that shifts from a negative potential to a positive potential among the both-side output voltages S of the transformer circuit 13. When S becomes equal to or higher than the first positive set voltage threshold near zero phase, the output of the positive potential zero cross signal T is started, and the second positive set voltage equal to or higher than the first positive set voltage threshold and near zero phase. When the threshold value is exceeded, the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal T is terminated, and among the both side output voltages S of the transformer circuit 13, the both side output voltage S that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is the first negative value near the zero phase. When the voltage becomes equal to or lower than the first set voltage threshold, the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U is started, and the second negative set voltage threshold equal to or lower than the first negative set voltage threshold and near the zero phase. When the bottom, is to terminate the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U.

また、零クロス信号出力制御部41は、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力終了後、次のマイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了するまで第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止すると共に、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力終了後、次のプラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了するまで第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止するものである。   The zero cross signal output control unit 41 also outputs the first plus side set voltage threshold and the second plus side until the output of the next minus potential side zero cross signal U is finished after the output of the plus potential side zero cross signal T is finished. The voltage threshold determination operation of the set voltage threshold is prohibited, and after the output of the minus potential side zero cross signal U is finished, the first minus side set voltage threshold value and the second minus voltage side zero cross signal T are finished until the output of the next plus potential side zero cross signal T is finished. The voltage threshold determination operation of the minus side set voltage threshold is prohibited.

また、零クロス信号出力制御部41は、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uを極性反転出力し、この極性反転出力とプラス電位側零クロス信号Tを零クロス信号Vとして出力するものである。   The zero cross signal output control unit 41 outputs the negative potential side zero cross signal U by inverting the polarity and outputs the polarity inversion output and the positive potential side zero cross signal T as the zero cross signal V.

尚、請求項記載の零クロス信号出力制御手段は零クロス信号出力制御部41に相当するものである。   The zero cross signal output control means described in the claims corresponds to the zero cross signal output control unit 41.

次に第2の実施の形態を示す電力調整装置1の動作につき、図5に基づき説明する。   Next, the operation of the power adjustment apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

交流電源2からの交流電源電圧Sに電圧ドロップαが発生したとする。   Assume that a voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage S from the AC power supply 2.

零クロス信号出力制御部41は、トランス回路13の両側出力電圧Sの内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sが第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を開始し、同両側出力電圧Sが第2プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了することになる。   The zero-cross signal output control unit 41, when the two-sided output voltage S that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential among the both-side output voltages S of the transformer circuit 13 becomes equal to or higher than the first plus-side set voltage threshold, When the output of T is started and the both-side output voltage S becomes equal to or higher than the second positive side set voltage threshold, the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal T is ended.

尚、零クロス信号出力制御部41では、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sに基づきプラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力終了後、次のマイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了するまで第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止する、すなわち、第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作のみを実行することになる。その結果、交流電源電圧Sに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、電圧ドロップαの影響で不要な零クロス信号の出力を防止することができる。   The zero cross signal output control unit 41 ends the output of the next negative potential side zero cross signal U after the output of the positive potential side zero cross signal T based on the both-side output voltage S that shifts from the negative potential to the positive potential. Until the voltage threshold determination operation of the first plus side set voltage threshold and the second plus side set voltage threshold is prohibited, that is, only the voltage threshold judgment operation of the first minus side set voltage threshold and the second minus side set voltage threshold is performed. Will be executed. As a result, even if the voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage S, unnecessary zero cross signal output can be prevented due to the influence of the voltage drop α.

また、零クロス信号出力制御部41は、トランス回路13の両側出力電圧Sの内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sが第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を開始し、同両側出力電圧Sが第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了することになる。   The zero cross signal output control unit 41 also sets the negative potential side zero when the both side output voltage S that shifts from the plus potential to the minus potential among the both side output voltages S of the transformer circuit 13 becomes equal to or less than the first minus side set voltage threshold. When the output of the cross signal U is started and the both-side output voltage S becomes equal to or lower than the second negative side set voltage threshold, the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U is ended.

尚、零クロス信号出力制御部41では、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sに基づきマイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力終了後、次のプラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了するまで第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止する、すなわち、第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作のみを実行することとなる。その結果、交流電源電圧Sに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、電圧ドロップαの影響で不要な零クロス信号の出力を防止することができる。   The zero cross signal output control unit 41 ends the output of the next positive potential side zero cross signal T after the end of the output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U based on the both-side output voltage S that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential. Until the first negative set voltage threshold and the second negative set voltage threshold are prohibited, that is, only the first positive set voltage threshold and the second positive set voltage threshold are determined. Will be executed. As a result, even if the voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage S, unnecessary zero cross signal output can be prevented due to the influence of the voltage drop α.

そして、零クロス信号出力制御部41は、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの極性を反転することで、この極性反転したマイナス側零クロス信号U及びプラス側零クロス信号Tで交流電源電圧に対応した零クロス信号Vを出力することになる。   Then, the zero cross signal output control unit 41 inverts the polarity of the negative potential side zero cross signal U so that the negative side zero cross signal U and the plus side zero cross signal T whose polarity is inverted correspond to the AC power supply voltage. The zero cross signal V is output.

その結果、位相制御回路17の三角波信号生成部17Aは、零クロス信号Vの出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を開始し、修正用零クロス信号出力制御部32の修正用零クロス信号の出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を終了し、三角波信号を生成することになる。そして、位相制御回路17内部の位相制御部17Bは、三角波信号生成部17Aにて生成した三角波信号及び温度調節器4の温度調整信号に基づき、位相制御信号を出力し、トリガ回路18を通じて位相制御信号に対応したトリガ信号を出力することになる。その結果、トライアック19は、トリガ信号に応じて所望負荷電流を、出力端子13を通じて負荷回路3に対して供給出力することになる。   As a result, the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A of the phase control circuit 17 starts generating the triangular wave signal according to the output end timing of the zero cross signal V, and the correction zero cross signal output control unit 32 outputs the correction zero cross signal. The generation of the triangular wave signal is terminated according to the output start timing, and the triangular wave signal is generated. Then, the phase control unit 17B in the phase control circuit 17 outputs a phase control signal based on the triangular wave signal generated by the triangular wave signal generation unit 17A and the temperature adjustment signal of the temperature regulator 4, and performs phase control through the trigger circuit 18. A trigger signal corresponding to the signal is output. As a result, the triac 19 supplies and outputs a desired load current to the load circuit 3 through the output terminal 13 in accordance with the trigger signal.

第2の実施の形態によれば、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行するトランス回路13の両側出力電圧Sが第1プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を開始し、同両側出力電圧Sが第2プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了すると共に、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する両側出力電圧Sが第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を開始し、同両側出力電圧Sが第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了し、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力及び、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの極性反転出力を零クロス信号Vとして出力すると共に、プラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力終了後、次のマイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力を終了するまで第1プラス側設定電圧閾値及び第2プラス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止し、マイナス電位側零クロス信号Uの出力終了後、次のプラス電位側零クロス信号Tの出力を終了するまで第1マイナス側設定電圧閾値及び第2マイナス側設定電圧閾値の電圧閾値判定動作を禁止するようにしたので、交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、零クロス信号Vの出力終了後、次の零クロス信号Vの出力が終了するまで設定電圧閾値の極性を逆にすることで不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止し、交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望負荷電流を出力することができる。   According to the second embodiment, when the both-side output voltage S of the transformer circuit 13 that shifts from the minus potential to the plus potential becomes equal to or higher than the first plus side set voltage threshold, the output of the plus potential side zero cross signal T is started. When the both-side output voltage S becomes equal to or greater than the second plus-side set voltage threshold, the output of the plus potential-side zero cross signal T is terminated and the both-side output voltage S that shifts from the plus potential to the minus potential is set to the first minus side setting. Output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U is started when the voltage threshold value is below the threshold value, and output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U is ended when the output voltage S on both sides becomes equal to or lower than the second negative side set voltage threshold value. The output of the potential side zero cross signal T and the polarity inversion output of the negative potential side zero cross signal U are output as the zero cross signal V, and the positive potential side zero cross signal T After the output is finished, the voltage threshold determination operation of the first plus side set voltage threshold and the second plus side set voltage threshold is prohibited until the output of the next minus potential side zero cross signal U is finished. Since the output of the first negative side set voltage threshold and the second negative side set voltage threshold is prohibited until the output of the next positive potential side zero cross signal T is finished, the AC power supply Even if the voltage drop α occurs in the voltage, the set voltage is maintained until the output of the next zero-cross signal V is finished after the output of the zero-cross signal V is finished, while reliably preventing the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation. By reversing the polarity of the threshold, it is possible to reliably prevent unnecessary zero-cross signal output and to ensure normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage. As a result, a desired load current can be output.

さらに、第2の実施の形態によれば、零クロス信号出力制御回路41の零クロス信号Vの出力終了タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を開始し、修正用零クロス信号出力制御回路32の修正用零クロス信号Qの出力開始タイミングに応じて三角波信号の生成を終了し、三角波信号を生成するようにしたので、零クロス信号Vが真の零クロスタイミングよりも若干遅れたタイミングで生成されたとしても、全波整流電圧に基づく従来の零クロス信号、すなわち修正用零クロス信号Qの出力開始タイミングを使用することで、三角波信号が真の零クロスタイミングを跨ぐことがないため、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止することができる。その結果、交流電源電圧Jに電圧ドロップαが発生したとしても、この電圧ドロップαの影響を受けることなく、交流電源電圧Jの正常な位相制御を確保して所望負荷電流を出力することができる。   Furthermore, according to the second embodiment, the generation of the triangular wave signal is started in accordance with the output end timing of the zero cross signal V of the zero cross signal output control circuit 41, and the correction of the correction zero cross signal output control circuit 32 is started. Since the generation of the triangular wave signal is terminated and the triangular wave signal is generated in accordance with the output start timing of the zero cross signal Q, the zero cross signal V is generated at a timing slightly delayed from the true zero cross timing. However, by using the output start timing of the conventional zero cross signal based on the full-wave rectified voltage, that is, the correction zero cross signal Q, the triangular wave signal does not cross the true zero cross timing. It is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of false firing. As a result, even if the voltage drop α occurs in the AC power supply voltage J, the desired load current can be output while ensuring the normal phase control of the AC power supply voltage J without being affected by the voltage drop α. .

尚、上記実施の形態においては、スイッチング制御素子としてトライアック19を使用した例について説明したが、サイリスタを使用したとしても同様の効果が得られることは言うまでもない。   In the above embodiment, an example in which the triac 19 is used as a switching control element has been described, but it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if a thyristor is used.

本発明の電力調整装置によれば、交流電源電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する交流電源電圧が零位相付近のマイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の極性反転電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記零位相付近のプラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了すると共に、前記極性反転電圧の内、プラス電位からマイナス電位に移行する前記極性反転電圧が前記マイナス側設定電圧閾値以下になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を開始し、前記交流電源電圧の内、マイナス電位からプラス電位に移行する前記交流電源電圧が前記プラス側設定電圧閾値以上になると、前記零クロス信号の出力を終了するようにしたので、前記交流電源電圧に電圧ドロップが発生したとしても、転流時の誤点弧の発生を確実に防止しながら、不要な零クロス信号の出力を確実に防止して交流電源電圧の正常な位相制御を確保し、その結果、所望の負荷電流量を得ることができるため、例えば半導体製造工程でヒータを温度調整する温度調整システム内の電力調整装置に有用である。   According to the power adjustment device of the present invention, when the AC power supply voltage that shifts from the positive potential to the negative potential is less than or equal to the negative set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the output of the zero cross signal is started. Among the polarity inversion voltages of the AC power supply voltage, when the polarity inversion voltage that shifts from a minus potential to a plus potential is equal to or greater than the plus side set voltage threshold value near the zero phase, the output of the zero cross signal is terminated, and When the polarity reversal voltage that shifts from a positive potential to a negative potential within the polarity reversal voltage falls below the negative side set voltage threshold, the output of the zero cross signal is started. Since the output of the zero cross signal is terminated when the AC power supply voltage that shifts to the potential is equal to or higher than the positive side set voltage threshold, Even if a voltage drop occurs in the AC power supply voltage, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of false firing at the time of commutation, and to prevent the output of unnecessary zero cross signals, and to control the normal phase of the AC power supply voltage. As a result, a desired load current amount can be obtained, which is useful for a power adjustment device in a temperature adjustment system that adjusts the temperature of a heater in a semiconductor manufacturing process, for example.
