Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrumentation technology, and in particular to a voltage regulator circuit with negative impedance characteristics and a two-wire valve positioner. Background Technology

[0002] Two-wire instruments transmit power and signals simultaneously through the same pair of wires, and their system impedance directly affects system power consumption and power supply reliability. In traditional solutions, the instrument end typically uses a linear voltage regulator (such as a single Zener diode). This voltage regulation scheme based on a single Zener diode requires controlling the positioner's power consumption within a fixed range. Generally, as the input current increases, the input power also increases, and the excess input power is mainly dissipated as heat, resulting in energy waste.

[0003] In related technologies, the input power at the minimum operating current is generally increased by increasing the clamping voltage of the Zener diode, thereby improving the power supply reliability of the system and reducing the difficulty of low-power design of the whole machine. However, increasing the clamping voltage of the Zener diode will increase the equivalent impedance in two-wire instruments. The equivalent impedance includes the impedance of functions such as industrial communication and current detection. If the equivalent impedance is too high, it may cause current signal distortion problems when the system is under high current. Therefore, the equivalent impedance of the instrument should not be too high. Utility Model Content

[0040] Please see Figures 2 to 3The working principle of the voltage regulator circuit with negative impedance characteristics provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the input voltage V is controlled by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. in Voltage division is performed. The shunt unit consisting of the third resistor R3 and the first PNP transistor Q1 is connected in parallel with the first resistor R1.

[0042] When the input current I in Much greater than the current I flowing through the first resistor R1 R1 For example, when the input current I... in For I R1 100 times or 1000 times; the current I flowing through the fourth resistor R4 R4 With input current I in When the preset deviation threshold is met, i.e., I R4 ≈I in For the loop formed by the third resistor R3, the first PNP transistor Q1, the second PNP transistor Q2, and the fourth resistor R4, Kirchhoff's voltage theorem states that:

[0043] I R3 ×R3+V EB1 =I R4 ×R4+V EB2 (1)

[0044]

[0045] In expressions (1)-(2), I R3 The current flowing through the third resistor R3 is V. EB1 V is the voltage difference between the emitter and base of the first PNP transistor Q1. EB2 I represents the voltage difference between the emitter and base of the second PNP transistor Q2. R4 I is the current flowing through the fourth resistor R4, where R4 is the fourth resistor. in This is the input current.

[0046] Based on the connection point of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the collector of the first PNP transistor Q1, and the reference terminal of the adjustable voltage regulator D1, Kirchhoff's current theorem states that:

[0047]

[0048] In expression (3), I R1 For the current flowing through the first resistor R1, I R2 For the current flowing through the second resistor R2, I R3 R2 is the current flowing through the third resistor R3, and R2 is the second resistor. c1 I is the collector current of the first PNP transistor Q1. ref V is the reference current of the adjustable voltage regulator D1. ref β1 is the reference voltage of the adjustable regulator D1, and β1 is the current amplification factor of the first PNP transistor Q1.

[0049] Because the input terminal of the voltage divider unit 210 is the input voltage V in The input voltage V can be obtained. in As shown in expression (4):

[0050] V in =V R2 +V r1 (4)

[0051] In expression (4), V in V is the input voltage. R1 V is the voltage across the first resistor R1. R2 This is the voltage across the second resistor R2.

[0052] Since the voltage at the reference terminal of the adjustable voltage regulator D1 is equal to the voltage at the second resistor R2, we can equivalence equation (4) to obtain equation (5):

[0053] V in =V ref +R1×I R1 (5)

[0054] In expression (5), V in V is the input voltage. ref The reference voltage of the adjustable voltage regulator D1 is given by R1, and the resistance of the first resistor is given by I. R1 This is the current flowing through the first resistor R1.

[0055] Combining expressions (3) and (5), the input voltage V is calculated. in This yields expression (6):

[0056]

[0057] In expression (4), V in V is the input voltage. refI is the reference voltage of the adjustable regulator D1. in For the input current, I ref V is the reference current of the adjustable voltage regulator D1. EB1 V is the voltage difference between the emitter and base of the first PNP transistor Q1. EB2 β1 is the voltage difference between the emitter and base of the second PNP transistor Q2, β1 is the current amplification factor of the first PNP transistor Q1, R1 is the resistance of the first resistor R1, R2 is the resistance of the second resistor R2, R3 is the resistance of the third resistor R3, and R4 is the resistance of the fourth resistor R4.

[0058] Since β1 >> 1, and the first PNP transistor Q1 and the second PNP transistor Q2 are of the same type, V can be made EB1 ≈V EB2 Then expression (6) can be simplified to expression (7):

[0059]

[0060] In expression (7), V in For the input voltage, I in For the input current, I ref V is the reference current of the adjustable voltage regulator D1. ref R1 is the reference voltage of the adjustable voltage regulator D1, R2 is the resistance of the first resistor R1, R3 is the resistance of the third resistor R3, and R4 is the resistance of the fourth resistor R4.

[0061] From expression (7), it can be seen that the input voltage V in With input current I in Inversely proportional to the input voltage V in With input current I in The input voltage V decreases as the input voltage increases. in With input current I in The slope increases as the value decreases. This gives the voltage regulator circuit negative impedance characteristics.

[0062] The purpose of the voltage regulator circuit provided by this utility model is twofold: First, to solve the problem of excessively low power input to the positioner under low input current, as lower input power increases the design difficulty of the positioner; this voltage regulator circuit increases the input voltage under low input current, thereby increasing the input power; the increased input power reduces the difficulty of low-power design for the entire positioner. Second, to solve the problem of excessively high equivalent impedance of the positioner under high input current, as excessively high impedance can lead to current signal distortion under high input current; this voltage regulator circuit reduces the input voltage under high input current, thereby reducing the equivalent impedance of the positioner.

[0063] This utility model also provides a two-wire valve positioner, which includes a voltage regulator circuit with negative impedance characteristics as described above, to improve the input power of the positioner under low input current and reduce the equivalent impedance under high input current.

[0064] This invention proposes a voltage regulator circuit with negative impedance characteristics and a two-wire valve positioner. The voltage regulator circuit includes a voltage divider unit for dividing the input voltage, a shunt unit for shunting the input short circuit at the input terminal of the voltage divider unit, and an adjustable voltage regulator for adjusting the input voltage based on the voltage divider unit and the shunt unit. The input terminal of the voltage divider unit receives the input voltage, the input terminal of the shunt unit is connected to the first input terminal of the voltage divider unit, the two output terminals of the shunt unit are respectively connected to the output terminal of the voltage divider unit and the adjustable voltage regulator, and the second input terminal of the voltage divider unit is also connected to the adjustable voltage regulator, thus giving the voltage regulator circuit negative impedance characteristics. The voltage regulator circuit provided by this invention allows the input voltage to decrease as the input current increases, and to increase as the input current decreases. This ensures that the input power of the two-wire instrument does not increase with the increase of the input current, reducing power consumption and preventing energy waste. The equivalent impedance of the circuit is also not excessively high, enhancing the stability of the system.
