Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic power supply technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic power supply circuit. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic power supply, also called an ultrasonic generator, is used to convert electrical energy into a high-frequency alternating current signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer. It is a device used to generate and provide ultrasonic energy to the ultrasonic transducer. Ultrasonic welding technology utilizes high-frequency vibration waves transmitted to the surfaces of two objects to be welded. Under pressure, the surfaces of the two objects rub against each other, forming a fusion between molecular layers.

[0003] The presence of frequency tracking capability is a crucial indicator of the performance of an ultrasonic power supply. Frequency tracking accuracy and stability are key metrics for evaluating the quality of this function. An ultrasonic power supply needs to be able to search for the resonant frequency within a specific frequency range and track it in real-time during operation. However, the voltage of an ultrasonic power supply can rise above 1500V when deviating from the resonant point or under heavy load, while it can drop to around 20V when unloaded at the resonant point. Achieving stable and accurate frequency tracking over such a wide voltage range requires accurate sampling of this voltage range. Current ultrasonic power supplies use a single resistor divider method for voltage sampling, with a fixed transformation ratio. This method cannot simultaneously ensure the accuracy of sampling voltages from 20V to 1500V, making it difficult to guarantee that the frequency of the ultrasonic energy output from the power supply accurately follows the changes in the inherent characteristic frequency of the ultrasonic vibration system in real time, resulting in low frequency tracking accuracy.

[0045] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the ultrasonic power supply circuit provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0046] The ultrasonic power supply circuit provided by this invention includes a rectifier and filter circuit, a power factor correction circuit, a phase-shifted full-bridge circuit, a transformer isolation circuit, a tuning circuit, an output voltage sampling circuit, an output current sampling circuit, a current-scaled sampling circuit, a voltage-scaled sampling circuit, and a central processing unit connected in sequence. The central processing unit obtains the output voltage and output current of the ultrasonic power supply circuit through the output voltage sampling circuit and the output current sampling circuit, respectively. Based on the output voltage and output current, it determines the circuit configuration of the current-scaled sampling circuit and the voltage-scaled sampling circuit. When the output voltage is not greater than 200V, a sampling resistor branch composed of a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, and a fourth resistor can be used. Voltage sampling is performed using a sampling resistor branch consisting of the first, second, third, and fifth resistors when the output voltage is greater than 200V.

This solves the technical problem that existing ultrasonic power supply frequency tracking methods cannot simultaneously ensure the accuracy of voltage sampling from 20V to 1500V, and it is difficult to ensure that the frequency of the ultrasonic power output from the ultrasonic power supply follows the changes in the inherent characteristic frequency of the ultrasonic vibration system in real time, resulting in low frequency tracking accuracy.

[0047] Meanwhile, the ultrasonic power supply circuit provided by the present invention is also equipped with a current grading sampling circuit. When the output current is greater than 5A, the current is sampled using a resistor branch composed of the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh resistors. When the output current is not greater than 5A, the sixth resistor is used for current sampling, thus realizing the function of current grading sampling and improving the accuracy of current sampling.

[0048] Ultrasonic power supplies are essentially digital switching power supplies, containing numerous MOSFETs or IGBTs. These switches generate high-frequency electromagnetic interference during operation. Frequency tracking in ultrasonic power supplies is achieved by locking the phase angle between voltage and current. This phase angle is detected by converting the voltage and current waveforms into square waves using a zero-crossing comparator circuit. Switching noise can cause the voltage and current sampling signals to oscillate near zero, leading to inaccurate phase detection. Therefore, the ultrasonic power supply circuit provided in this invention incorporates a bandpass filter when using a fuzzy PI control algorithm to track the inherent characteristic frequency of the ultrasonic vibration system. This filter removes switching noise from the original current and voltage sampling signals, preventing the switching noise from causing oscillations near zero and resulting in inaccurate phase detection.

[0049] The ultrasonic power supply circuit provided by the present invention is further provided with an overcurrent protection circuit and an overvoltage protection circuit, which can provide overcurrent protection and overvoltage protection for the output current and output voltage of the ultrasonic power supply circuit.

This phase angle is detected by converting the voltage and current waveforms into square waves using a zero-crossing comparator circuit. Switching noise can cause the voltage and current sampling signals to oscillate near zero, leading to inaccurate phase detection. Therefore, the ultrasonic power supply circuit provided in this invention incorporates a bandpass filter when using a fuzzy PI control algorithm to track the inherent characteristic frequency of the ultrasonic vibration system. This filter removes switching noise from the original current and voltage sampling signals, preventing the switching noise from causing oscillations near zero and resulting in inaccurate phase detection.

[0087] The ultrasonic power supply circuit provided by the present invention is further provided with an overcurrent protection circuit and an overvoltage protection circuit, which can provide overcurrent protection and overvoltage protection for the output current and output voltage of the ultrasonic power supply circuit.
