Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electromechanical control technology, and in particular to an electric turntable control system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, many high-end dining tables use electric turntables. Common electric turntables include a turntable and a motor. The turntable is driven to rotate by the motor. There are three main motor control methods for the electric turntable:

[0003] 1. Use hardware switch control: close the switch to energize the motor, and the turntable will rotate; open the switch to cut off the power to the motor, and the turntable will stop rotating;

[0004] 2. Sensor control: Use infrared sensors or capacitive sensors to detect the state of the turntable. When the motor stops, the operator moves the turntable to make the sensor send a signal, and the main control controls the motor to start rotating. When the motor is running, the operator presses the turntable to make the sensor send a signal, and the main control controls the motor to stop rotating.

[0005] 3. Control by remote control: Use the remote control to send various signals to the main control, and the main control then controls the motor to operate accordingly, such as starting and stopping the motor, forward and reverse rotation, and acceleration and deceleration.

[0006] The above three motor control methods all have their disadvantages: when using hardware switch control, a switch needs to be installed on the dining table, which affects the appearance of the dining table, is not conducive to cleaning, and has relatively simple functions; when using sensor control, the function is still relatively simple; when using remote control control, the remote control needs to replace the battery from time to time, and the remote control is easy to lose.

[0007] In summary, there is an urgent need for an electric turntable control system and a control method thereof to solve a series of problems existing in the motor control technology of the electric turntable in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0008] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide an electric turntable control system, which enables the electric turntable to realize the start and stop, forward and reverse rotation, and acceleration and deceleration functions.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric turntable control method, which is used in conjunction with an electric turntable control system to enable the electric turntable to achieve start and stop, forward and reverse rotation, and acceleration and deceleration functions.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an electric turntable control system, applied to an electric turntable, the electric turntable includes a turntable and a stepper motor, the turntable is driven by the stepper motor and can rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, including a first proximity switch, a second proximity switch, a main control and a stepper motor control chip for controlling the operation of the stepper motor; the first proximity switch, the second proximity switch and the stepper motor control chip are all connected to the main control signal; the turntable is circumferentially spaced with sensing positions, the sensing positions include trigger positions and non-trigger positions, and the intervals between each trigger position and each non-trigger position are equal and alternately arranged; the first proximity switch and the second proximity switch are sequentially arranged along the clockwise rotation direction of the turntable, and the first proximity switch and the second proximity switch are spaced apart by one sensing position.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the main control is a micro control unit.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the electric turntable control system also includes a power supply module for supplying power to the main control and the stepper motor control chip.

[0016] An electric turntable control method, which applies the above electric turntable control system, comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1, the main control detects whether the first proximity switch and the second proximity switch send out a trigger signal at the same time; if so, execute step S2; if not, turn off the stepper motor;

[0018] S2, the main control detects the signals sent by the first proximity switch and the second proximity switch; if the first proximity switch sends a trigger signal and the second proximity switch sends a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor is controlled to drive the turntable to rotate counterclockwise; if the second proximity switch sends a trigger signal and the first proximity switch sends a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor is controlled to drive the turntable to rotate clockwise;

[0019] S3. Continue to execute step S1.

[0020] In the above technical solution, after step S2, it also includes: when the stepper motor is driving the turntable to rotate counterclockwise, if the first proximity switch accelerates to send a trigger signal, and the second proximity switch accelerates to send a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor is controlled to rotate counterclockwise at an accelerated speed; when the stepper motor is driving the turntable to rotate clockwise, if the second proximity switch accelerates to send a trigger signal, and the first proximity switch accelerates to send a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor is controlled to rotate clockwise at an accelerated speed.

[0021] In the above technical solution, each time the operating state of the stepper motor changes, the changed operating state of the stepper motor is saved in the memory of the main control; when the main control is turned on, the stepper motor is driven to operate with the operating state saved in the memory.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this electric turntable control system, the sensing position includes a trigger position and a non-trigger position.

It has complete functions and does not require any external control mechanisms such as remote controls and hardware switches, which is conducive to cleaning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The present invention also provides an electric turntable control method, which uses the above-mentioned electric turntable control system and includes the following steps:

[0055] S1, the main control IC1 detects whether the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 send out trigger signals at the same time; if so, execute step S2; if not, turn off the stepper motor 2.

[0056] If the turntable 1 is rotating, it will inevitably rotate to the position of triggering the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 at the same time. At this time, the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 simultaneously send pulses to the main control IC1; if the turntable 1 is pressed by a person's hand and cannot rotate, the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 cannot be triggered at the same time. At this time, the pin 13 of the main control IC1 remains at a high level output, that is, the ENN pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 remains at a high level, and the stepper motor 2 is set to float, that is, it is stopped; even if the turntable 1 has reached the position of triggering the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 at the same time, it can only make the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 send a pulse at the same time. The main control IC1 does not detect the next pulse of the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 within a period of time. At this time, the pin 13 of the main control IC1 will also remain at a high level output, that is, the ENN pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 remains at a high level, and the stepper motor 2 is set to float, that is, it is stopped.

[0057] With this step, it can be achieved that: when the turntable 1 is rotating, if it is pressed by a hand, the stepper motor 2 is turned off, thereby stopping the rotation of the turntable 1.

[0058] S2, the main control IC1 detects the signals sent by the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7; if the first proximity switch 6 sends a trigger signal and the second proximity switch 7 sends a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor 2 is controlled to drive the turntable 1 to rotate counterclockwise; if the second proximity switch 7 sends a trigger signal and the first proximity switch 6 sends a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor 2 is controlled to drive the turntable 1 to rotate clockwise.

[0059] If the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 are triggered at the same time and send out a pulse signal, and then the first proximity switch 6 is triggered again and sends out a pulse signal, and the second proximity switch 7 is not triggered and remains silent, it indicates that the turntable 1 is rotating counterclockwise. At this time, pin 19 of the main control IC1 maintains a certain level, so that the DIR pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 remains at this level, so that the stepper motor 2 runs in the direction of driving the turntable 1 to rotate counterclockwise, and pin 16 of the main control IC1 continues to send pulses, so that the STEP pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 continues to receive pulse signals, thereby keeping the stepper motor 2 running.

[0060] If the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 are triggered at the same time and send out a pulse signal, and then the first proximity switch 6 is not triggered and remains silent, and the second proximity switch 7 is triggered again and sends out a pulse signal, it indicates that the turntable 1 is rotating clockwise. At this time, pin 19 of the main control IC1 maintains another electrical level, so that the DIR pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 remains at this level, so that the stepper motor 2 runs in the direction of driving the turntable 1 to rotate clockwise, and pin 16 of the main control IC1 continues to send pulses, so that the STEP pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 continues to receive pulse signals, thereby keeping the stepper motor 2 running.

[0061] With this step, it is possible to achieve:

[0062] 1. When the turntable 1 is stationary, if it is pushed by a hand, the turntable 1 will rotate in the direction pushed by the hand;

[0063] 2. When the turntable 1 is rotating, if it is pushed in the opposite direction by a hand, the turntable 1 will rotate in the direction pushed by the hand.

[0064] S3. Continue to execute step S1.

[0065] Continuing to execute step S1, the main control IC1 continuously detects whether the first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 7 send out trigger signals at the same time, thereby realizing the continuous operation or stop of the turntable 1 according to step S1 and step S2.

[0066] Furthermore, after step S2, the method further includes:

[0067] When the stepper motor 2 is driving the turntable 1 to rotate counterclockwise, if the first proximity switch 6 accelerates to send a trigger signal and the second proximity switch 7 accelerates to send a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor 2 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise at an accelerated speed.

[0068] When the stepper motor 2 is driving the turntable 1 to rotate counterclockwise, the main control IC1 records the time intervals between the first proximity switch 6 sending out a pulse signal and the second proximity switch 7 remaining silent twice. If the subsequent time interval between the first proximity switch 6 sending out a pulse signal and the second proximity switch 7 remaining silent is shortened to half or less of the previous time interval, it indicates that the turntable 1 is being accelerated by a person. At this time, the pin 16 of the main control IC1 speeds up the pulse sending, causing the STEP pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 to speed up the reception of the pulse signal, thereby driving the stepper motor 2 to rotate faster, and then causing the turntable 1 to rotate faster.

[0069] When the stepper motor 2 is driving the turntable 1 to rotate clockwise, if the second proximity switch 7 accelerates to send a trigger signal and the first proximity switch 6 accelerates to send a non-trigger signal, the stepper motor 2 is controlled to rotate clockwise at an accelerated speed.

[0070] When the stepper motor 2 is driving the turntable 1 to rotate clockwise, the main control IC1 records the time intervals between the second proximity switch 7 sending out pulse signals and the first proximity switch 6 remaining silent twice. If the subsequent time interval between the second proximity switch 7 sending out pulse signals and the first proximity switch 6 remaining silent is shortened to half or less of the previous time interval, it indicates that the turntable 1 is being accelerated by hand. At this time, the pin 16 of the main control IC1 speeds up the pulse sending, so that the STEP pin of the stepper motor control chip U1 speeds up the reception of the pulse signal, thereby driving the stepper motor 2 to rotate faster, and then accelerating the rotation of the turntable 1.

[0071] Furthermore, each time the operating state of the stepper motor 2 changes, the changed operating state of the stepper motor 2 is saved in the memory of the main control IC1; when the main control IC1 is turned on, the stepper motor 2 is driven to operate with the operating state saved in the memory; at the same time, the main control IC1 can also be enabled to know the current operating state of the stepper motor 2; in this embodiment, the memory is the EPROM built into the main control IC1, and the operating state is the operating direction and speed of the stepper motor 2.

[0072] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
