Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively and readily prevent a main transistor from thermally breaking due to the decreases in the voltage of a power source by detecting the collector voltage during the ON period of the transistor and throttling the transistor when the voltage exceeds the set value. CONSTITUTION:The collector voltage of a main transistor 2 is inputted through a resistor 21 to a comparator 22. The collector voltage of the transistor 2 at the ON time is monitored through the resistor 21 by the comparator 22. When the collector voltage exceeds the set voltage of the comparator 22, the charging of the capacito 7 is accelerate, and the ON period of the transistor 2 is limited to the prescribed value or lower irrespective of the control voltage of a potentiometer 8. Thus, the conduction rate of the transistor 2 is lowered.

When a transistor chopper is used to control the speed of a motor such as a DC motor-driven electric vehicle, an overcurrent limiting circuit is conventionally provided as a protection circuit for the main transistor. This protection circuit has the configuration shown in FIG. A series connection circuit of the armature IA and field IB of the DC motor 1 and the main transistor 2 is formed and connected to a DC power source 3 such as a battery. In speed control by controlling the average voltage, the transistor current is detected by a shunt resistor 4 installed in series with the main transistor 2, and when the DC current exceeds a certain value, the on/off ratio of the main transistor 2 is used as a speed command. Regardless, the iDU is limited to a constant value.

In the figure, the control circuit periodically discharges a charging circuit consisting of a resistor 6 and a capacitor 7 using a constant periodic output from an oscillator 5, and changes the sawtooth wave voltage of the capacitor 7 to the output voltage of a potentiometer 8 that is linked to the amount of accelerator depression, etc. Compare with comparator 9,
The output on/off ratio of the comparator 9 is made to correspond to the output of the potentiometer 8, and this output turns on the field effect transistor 10 to drive the base of the main transistor 2.

The protection circuit takes out the detected voltage of the shunt resistor 4 with a product input impedance buffer 11, and the output of this buffer 11 is the ratio #! When the ratio reference (set value) /a' of the comparator 12 is exceeded, the high level output of the comparator 12 is converted into a resistor and binary to form a 4-component capacitor 7J - 4'. Therefore, when an overcurrent is about to flow through transistor 2, comparator 12
The output speeds up the charging of the capacitor 7, and as a result lowers the on/off ratio of the main transistor 20 to prevent overcurrent.
limit 13 is a control type diode, and 14 is a flywheel diode.

Providing the overcurrent limiting circuit as a protection circuit in this way can protect the main transistor 2 from overcurrent, but it is not a good idea to completely eliminate the main transistor 2.
There was a risk that the main transistor 2 would be thermally destroyed due to its unsaturated operation. In particular, when a battery is used as the It&J, 3, there is a risk of thermal breakdown when the battery pressure decreases excessively due to insufficient charging or excessive discharging of the battery. That is, due to the voltage drop in the voltage 3, the on-base current of the main transistor 2 through the transistor 10 is insufficient, and the main transistor 2 operates in the unsaturated region, and its collector-emitter voltage VCE increases even when it is on. The heat loss P, which is the product of the collector voltage Ic, becomes excessive, resulting in thermal destruction of the main transistor 2.
