【発明の詳細な説明】
[産業上の利用分野コ
本発明は、通電電流に応じた開度を示す比例弁を駆動す
る技術に係わる。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a technology for driving a proportional valve that exhibits an opening degree depending on an energized current.
[従来の技術]
従来より、流体の流量を所定値に維持したり、二次圧を
一定にするために比例弁は使われている。[Prior Art] Conventionally, proportional valves have been used to maintain the flow rate of fluid at a predetermined value and to keep the secondary pressure constant.
[発明が解決しようとする課題]
しかるに、比例弁は、プランジャーの摺動抵抗により、
通電電流と、例えば二次圧とが正確に対応せず、ヒステ
リシス特性を示す。[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the proportional valve has the following problems due to the sliding resistance of the plunger:
The applied current and, for example, the secondary pressure do not correspond accurately and exhibit hysteresis characteristics.
本発明の目的は、比例弁のヒステリシス特性を改善した
比例弁駆動装置の提供にある。An object of the present invention is to provide a proportional valve drive device with improved hysteresis characteristics of the proportional valve.
[課題を解決するための手段]
上記課題の達成のため、本発明は以下の構成を採用した
。[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.
(1)通電電流に応じた開度を示す比例弁と、制御信号
を制御端子に印加して、前記比例弁と直流電源との間に
電気接続された半導体素子の通電量を制御する駆動回路
とを備えてなる比例弁駆動装置において、前記制御信号
に、周波数が10ヘルツ以上200ヘルツ以下のリップ
ルを重畳し、前1半導体素子を500ヘルツ以上10キ
ロヘルツ以下の所定周波数でスイッチングする。(1) A proportional valve that shows an opening degree according to the energizing current, and a drive circuit that applies a control signal to a control terminal to control the amount of current flowing through a semiconductor element electrically connected between the proportional valve and a DC power supply. In the proportional valve driving device, a ripple having a frequency of 10 Hz or more and 200 Hz or less is superimposed on the control signal, and the first semiconductor element is switched at a predetermined frequency of 500 Hz or more and 10 kHz or less.

[作用および発明の効果コ
請求項1について
(作用)
周波数が10ヘルツ以上200ヘルツ以下のリップルを
重畳した通電電流で比例弁は駆動される。[Operations and Effects of the Invention Regarding Claim 1 (Operations) The proportional valve is driven by an energized current superimposed with ripples having a frequency of 10 hertz or more and 200 hertz or less.
このため、比例弁のプランジャーに振動が付与され摺動
抵抗は小さくなる。ここで、10ヘルツ未満であると比
例弁が常時、振動してしまい、200ヘルツを越える周
波数のリップルでは摺動抵抗の低減に寄与しない。Therefore, vibration is applied to the plunger of the proportional valve, and the sliding resistance is reduced. Here, if the ripple frequency is less than 10 hertz, the proportional valve will constantly vibrate, and if the ripple frequency exceeds 200 hertz, it will not contribute to reducing the sliding resistance.
500ヘルツ以上10キロヘルツ以下の所定周波数のス
イッチングにより、半導体素子は少ししか発熱しない。By switching at a predetermined frequency of 500 hertz or more and 10 kilohertz or less, the semiconductor element generates only a small amount of heat.
ここで、500ヘルツ未満であると半導体素子は著しく
発熱し、10キロヘルツを越えると半導体素子が高速用
となるのでコストが増大する。Here, if the frequency is less than 500 Hz, the semiconductor element will generate significant heat, and if it exceeds 10 kHz, the semiconductor element will be required for high speed operation, resulting in an increase in cost.
(効果)
比例弁のヒステリシスが取れ、比例弁の開度を正確に決
定できる。(Effect) The hysteresis of the proportional valve is removed, and the opening degree of the proportional valve can be determined accurately.
半導体素子の発熱景が少なく、かつ低周波、小電力用の
ものが使用できるのでコストの低減が図れる。The cost can be reduced because the semiconductor element generates less heat and can be used for low frequency and low power consumption.
請求項2について
比例弁電流は制御信号により制御される。比例弁電流が
少ない時は摺動抵抗による変化率が大きいので大きな振
幅、低い振動数が必要であるが、比例弁電流の多い時は
摺動抵抗による変化率が小さく比例弁電流の少ない時に
比べ小さな振幅、高い振動数としてヒステリシスを残し
比例弁の振動を除去する方が好ましい。Regarding claim 2, the proportional valve current is controlled by a control signal. When the proportional valve current is small, the rate of change due to sliding resistance is large, so a large amplitude and low frequency are required, but when the proportional valve current is large, the rate of change due to sliding resistance is small compared to when the proportional valve current is small. It is preferable to remove the vibration of the proportional valve by leaving hysteresis with a small amplitude and high frequency.
本楕成では、制御信号に応じてリップルの振幅、周波数
を可変しているので比例弁をがたつかせることなく摺動
抵抗を除去できる。In this oval configuration, the ripple amplitude and frequency are varied according to the control signal, so sliding resistance can be removed without rattling the proportional valve.
なお、可変するのは、振幅または周波数の一方だけでも
良い。Note that only one of the amplitude and the frequency may be varied.
