[0040] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 6 A pulsed DC coating circuit and method according to an embodiment of the present application are described.

[0041] The present application embodiment provides a pulsed DC coating circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a power module IS, a first switch module, a first inductance module and a capacitor C1. The positive electrode of the power module IS is used to connect the first end of the coated load RL, and the power module IS works in a constant current or constant power state for outputting current. The first end of the first switch module is connected to the second end of the coated load RL, and the first switch module is periodically turned on, so that the power module IS provides a pulse current to the coated load RL. The first end of the first inductance module is connected to the second end of the first switch module, and the second end of the first inductance module is connected to the negative electrode of the power module IS; the first end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the positive electrode of the power module IS, and the second end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the first end of the first inductance module. When the first switch module is turned off, the first inductance module generates an induced current, and the power module IS charges the capacitor C1 to a peak voltage, which is higher than the terminal voltage of the power module IS, so that when the first switch module is turned on next time, the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the coated load RL, and the first inductance module outputs a freewheeling current to the coated load RL, thereby making the coated load RL work.

[0042] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown, Iout is the pulse current, and Uab is the voltage across the coating load RL. The first switch module is periodically turned on, so that the power module IS provides a pulse current to the coating load RL. When the first switch module is turned on, the power module IS charges the capacitor C1, and the voltage of the capacitor C1 reaches the terminal voltage of the power module IS. When the first switch module is turned off, the first inductor module continues the current flowing through, and the power module IS charges the capacitor C1 to a peak voltage, and the peak voltage is higher than the terminal voltage of the power module IS, so that when the first switch module is turned on next time, the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the coating load RL, and the first inductor module outputs the continuous current to the coating load RL, so that the coating load RL works. Since when the first switch module is turned on, the induced current output to the coating load RL is similar to the current when the first switch module was turned on last time, the current does not need to increase from zero, the repetition frequency is high, the current consistency is good, and the uniformity of the coating is guaranteed. The peak voltage provided by the capacitor C1 can enhance the ionization effect of the coating load RL and improve the coating efficiency.

[0043] It can be understood that when the first switch module is periodically turned on, after the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the coating load RL, the voltage across the coating load RL recovers to the terminal voltage of the power module.

[0044] It should be noted that the coating load RL includes plasma. The coating load RL is connected to the power module through a pulse power transmission line, and the power transmission line has a certain length and has small parasitic inductance Lt1 and parasitic inductance Lt2.

[0045] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, a third diode D7 is also included, the anode of the third diode D7 is connected to the second end of the capacitor C1, and the cathode of the third diode D7 is connected to the first end of the first inductor module.

[0046] It is understandable that if Figure 1 As shown, the first switch module includes a first switch tube M1 and a fourth diode D1. The source of the first switch tube M1 is connected to the first end of the first inductor module, the drain of the first switch tube M1 is connected to the second end of the coating load RL, the anode of the fourth diode D1 is connected to the source of the first switch tube M1, and the cathode of the fourth diode D1 is connected to the drain of the first switch tube M1.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the first inductor module includes a first inductor L1, a second switch module and a first diode D4, the first end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the second end of the first switch module, the second end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the negative electrode of the power module IS, the first end of the second switch module is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1, the second end of the second switch module is connected to the positive electrode of the first diode D4, and the negative electrode of the first diode D4 is connected to the first end of the first inductor L1.

[0048] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, when the first switch module is turned on, the second switch module is turned off. When the first switch module is turned off, the second switch module is turned on, and the first inductor L1 generates an induced current, which passes through the second switch module and the first diode D4 to continue the current flowing through, so that the next time the first switch module is turned on, the continued current is output to the coating load RL.

[0049] It is understandable that if Figure 1 As shown, the second switch module includes a second switch tube M2 and a fifth diode D2. The source of the second switch tube M2 is connected to the anode of the first diode D4, and the drain of the second switch tube M2 is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1. The anode of the fifth diode D2 is connected to the source of the second switch tube M2, and the cathode of the fifth diode D2 is connected to the drain of the second switch tube M2.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, a third switch module is also included, a first end of the third switch module is connected to the first end of the plated load RL, and a second end of the third switch module is connected to the second end of the plated load RL.

[0051] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, when the first switch module is turned on, the third switch module is turned off. When the first switch module is turned off, the third switch module is turned on, so that the current on the coating load RL continues to pass through the third switch module until it is exhausted.

[0052] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the third switch module includes a third switch tube M3 and a sixth diode D3. The drain of the third switch tube M3 is connected to the first end of the coating load RL, and the source of the third switch tube M3 is connected to the second end of the coating load RL. The anode of the sixth diode D3 is connected to the source of the third switch tube M3, and the cathode of the sixth diode D3 is connected to the drain of the third switch tube M3.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application further includes an overvoltage protection module, wherein a first end of the overvoltage protection module is connected to a first end of the third switch module, and a second end of the overvoltage protection module is connected to a second end of the third switch module.

[0054] In this embodiment, the overvoltage protection module provides overvoltage protection for the first switch module and the third switch module.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the overvoltage protection module includes a field effect transistor M5 and a second diode D8, the source of the field effect transistor M5 is connected to the first end of the third switch module, the drain of the field effect transistor M5 is connected to the cathode of the second diode D8, and the anode of the second diode D8 is connected to the second end of the third switch module.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the voltage across the field effect transistor M5 exceeds the avalanche breakdown voltage of the field effect transistor M5, the voltage across the field effect transistor M5 will be stabilized at the avalanche breakdown voltage, thereby protecting the first switch module and the third switch module in the circuit.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application further includes a fourth switch module and a second inductor module, wherein a first end of the fourth switch module is connected to a second end of the capacitor C1, a second end of the fourth switch module is connected to a first end of the second inductor module, and a second end of the second inductor module is connected to a first end of the first inductor module.

[0058] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the fourth switch module includes a fourth switch tube M4 and a seventh diode D6, the source of the fourth switch tube M4 is connected to the second end of the capacitor C1, and the drain of the fourth switch tube M4 is connected to the first end of the second inductor module. The anode of the seventh diode D6 is connected to the source of the fourth switch tube M4, and the cathode of the seventh diode D6 is connected to the drain of the fourth switch tube M4.

[0059] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, when the first switch module is turned on, the fourth switch module is controlled to be turned on for a preset peak time, so that the capacitor C1 is charged to the peak voltage and provides the peak voltage to the coating load RL for a preset peak time. The peak voltage is: the sum of the voltage of the capacitor C1 and the induced voltage generated by the second inductor module. Figure 4 The time between t1 and t2 is the preset peak time, and the value of Uab corresponding to this interval is the peak voltage. In the interval between t2 and t3, the fourth switch tube M4 is turned off, and the voltage across the coating load RL is restored to the voltage across the capacitor.

[0060] The plasma arc ignition process is performed by applying a peak voltage to increase the gas ionization rate. The duration of the peak voltage can be controlled by controlling the conduction time of the fourth switch module.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the second inductor module includes a second inductor L2, a first end of the second inductor L2 is connected to the second end of the capacitor C1, a second end of the second inductor L2 is connected to the first end of the first inductor module, an anode of the third diode D7 is connected to the first end of the second inductor L2, and a cathode of the third diode D7 is connected to the second end of the second inductor L2.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the first switch module is turned on, the voltage across the coated load RL does not reach the arc starting voltage, and the equivalent resistance value is very large. At this time, the current output by the power module IS passes through the second inductor L2, and the second inductor L2 forms a self-inductance voltage that is superimposed on the voltage across the capacitor C1 to obtain a high peak voltage, which is applied to both ends of the coated load RL.

[0063] In addition, the present application embodiment provides a coating method, which is applied to the pulsed DC coating circuit as described above, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method includes but is not limited to step S100 and step S200.

[0064] Step S100: Control the power module IS to output current;

[0065] Step S200: Control the first switch module to be periodically turned on, so that the power module IS provides a pulse current to the coating load RL, and

[0066] When the first switch module is turned off, the first inductor module continues the current flowing through, and the power module IS charges the capacitor C1 to a peak voltage, which is higher than the terminal voltage of the power module IS. Therefore, when the first switch module is turned on next time, the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the plated load RL, and the first inductor module outputs the continuous current to the plated load RL, so that the plated load RL works.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first switch module is periodically turned on, so that the power module IS provides a pulse current to the coating load RL. When the first switch module is turned on, the power module IS charges the capacitor C1, and the voltage of the capacitor C1 reaches the terminal voltage of the power module IS. When the first switch module is turned off, the first inductor module continues the current flowing through, and the power module IS charges the capacitor C1 to a peak voltage, and the peak voltage is higher than the terminal voltage of the power module IS, so that when the first switch module is turned on next time, the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the coating load RL, and the first inductor module outputs the continuous current to the coating load RL, so that the coating load RL works. Since when the first switch module is turned on, the continuous current output to the coating load RL is similar to the current when the first switch module was turned on last time, the current does not need to increase from zero, the repetition frequency is high, the current consistency is good, and the uniformity of the coating is guaranteed. The peak voltage provided by the capacitor C1 can enhance the ionization effect of the coating load RL and improve the coating efficiency.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes but is not limited to step S300.

[0069] Step S300: When the first switch module is disconnected, the second switch module is controlled to be turned on to continue the current flowing through the first switch module.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the first switch module is turned off, the second switch module is controlled to be turned on to continue the current flowing through. When the first switch module is turned on, the second switch module is controlled to be turned off.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes but is not limited to step S400.

[0072] Step S400: When the first switch module is turned off, the third switch module is controlled to be turned on, so as to consume the current on the coating load RL.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the first switch module is turned off, the third switch module is controlled to be turned on, so as to consume the current on the coating load RL. When the first switch module is turned on, the third switch module is controlled to be turned off.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes but is not limited to step S500.

[0075] Step S500: When the first switch module is turned on, the fourth switch module is controlled to be turned on for a preset peak time, so as to apply a peak voltage to both ends of the coating load RL for a preset peak time. The peak voltage is the sum of the voltage of the capacitor C1 and the induced voltage generated by the second inductor module.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the first switch module is turned on, the fourth switch module is controlled to be turned on for a preset peak time, so as to continuously apply a peak voltage to both ends of the coating load RL for the preset peak time. The plasma arc ignition process is performed by applying the peak voltage to increase the gas ionization rate.

When the first switch module is turned on, the power module IS charges the capacitor C1, and the voltage of the capacitor C1 reaches the terminal voltage of the power module IS. When the first switch module is turned off, the first inductor module generates an induced current, and the power module IS charges the capacitor C1 to a peak voltage, which is higher than the terminal voltage of the power module IS, so that when the first switch module is turned on next time, the capacitor C1 provides a peak voltage to the coating load RL, and the first inductor module outputs a continuous current to the coating load RL, so that the coating load RL works.
