The sleeve 124 allows the magnetic member 123 to move axially along the sleeve 124 and prevents the magnetic member 123 from rotating relative to the sleeve 124. An elastic member 121 is arranged between the magnetic member 123 and the release member 122; the fixed component 110 is sleeved outside the sleeve 124 and is located at one end close to the magnetic member 123 A rolling member 114 is arranged between the fixed component 110 and the sleeve 124, and the rolling member 114 allows the transmission shaft 5 to drive the sleeve 124 to rotate relative to the fixed component 110; the fixed component 110 includes a fixed component 113, an excitation winding 111 and a permanent magnet 112, the excitation winding 111 and the permanent magnet 112 are installed on the fixed component 113, and the excitation winding 111 can be arranged on the permanent magnet 112 or arranged side by side with the permanent magnet 112; the control unit 2 is connected to the excitation winding 111, and the control unit 2 includes a voltage supply module 201, a current acquisition module 202 and a voltage acquisition module 203; the voltage supply module 201 outputs voltage to the excitation winding 111, the current acquisition module 202 collects the current of the excitation winding 111, and the voltage acquisition module 203 collects the induced voltage of the excitation winding 111.

[0053] In some embodiments, the magnetic field generated by the excitation winding 111 after being energized is opposite to the direction of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112; when the voltage output to the excitation winding 111 is less than the first set voltage, the magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 is much smaller than the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112, and the total magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 and the permanent magnet 112 has a suction force on the magnetic conductive member 123 that is greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 121, and the magnetic conductive member 123 moves toward the fixed component 110 until it is combined with the fixed component 110, thereby preventing the rotating component 120 and the transmission shaft 5 from rotating, thereby achieving braking; when the voltage output to the excitation winding 111 is greater than the second set voltage and less than the third set voltage, the magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 and the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112 counteract each other.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first setting voltage, the second setting voltage, the third setting voltage and the fourth setting voltage increase sequentially.

[0055] In some embodiments, the release member 122 is made of non-magnetic material, the magnetic conductive member 123 is made of ferromagnetic material, the elastic member 121 is a leaf spring, and the rolling member 114 is a ball or a roller.

[0056] See also Figure 4 The control method of the permanent magnet brake provided by the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0057] S1: Control unit 2 receives the instruction and determines the instruction type;

[0058] S2: If it is a release command, the voltage supply module 201 applies a release voltage U to the excitation winding 111 1 ;

[0059] Release voltage U 1 is greater than the second set voltage and less than the third set voltage, the magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 and the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112 cancel each other out, the total magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 and the permanent magnet 112 has a suction force on the magnetic conductive member 123 that is less than the elastic force of the elastic member 121, and the magnetic conductive member 123 moves toward the release member 122 until it is separated from the fixed component 110, allowing the rotating component 120 and the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, thereby completing the brake release;

[0060] The excitation winding 111 releases the voltage U 1 The current change characteristics under Figure 5 As shown, at time t 1 Before, the magnetic conductive member 123 and the fixing assembly 110 are still in a combined state, the equivalent inductance is small, and the slope of the current rise is the highest; at time t 1 -t 2 In the stage, the magnetic conductive member 123 is in motion, the equivalent inductance increases, and the current rising slope decreases significantly; at t 2 At time t, the magnetic conductive member 123 stops moving, the equivalent inductance increases to the maximum state, and the current rising slope further decreases significantly; at time t 3 At this time, the slope of the current is very small and reaches a stable stage.

[0061] The current acquisition module 202 collects the real-time current of the excitation winding 111 and calculates the current change slope;

[0062] Determine whether the current change slope has a sudden change. If a sudden change occurs (at t 1 moment), it means that when the current change slope suddenly changes, the magnetic conductive member 123 starts to move toward the release member 122;

[0063] After the current change slope suddenly changes, the current change slope is compared with the set first change slope. If the current change slope is less than or equal to the set first change slope (at t 2 moment), it is determined that the magnetic conductive member 123 is separated from the fixed component 110, and the permanent magnetic brake is released;

[0064] When the current change slope is less than or equal to the set first change slope, it is determined that the permanent magnet brake is released. In the prior art, when the current is stable, that is, t 3 At that moment, it is determined that the brake has been released, which is significantly delayed in time.

[0065] S3: If it is a braking command, the voltage supply module 201 applies a braking voltage U to the excitation winding 111 2 ;

[0066] Braking voltage U 2 Less than the first set voltage, the magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 is much smaller than the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112, the total magnetic field of the excitation winding 111 and the permanent magnet 112 exerts a suction force on the magnetic conductive part 123 that is greater than the elastic force of the elastic part 121, and the magnetic conductive part 123 moves toward the fixed component 110 until it is combined with the fixed component 110, thereby preventing the rotating component 120 and the transmission shaft 5 from rotating, thereby completing the braking.

[0067] The excitation winding 111 is released by the voltage U 1 Switching to braking voltage U 2 The induced voltage variation characteristics under Figure 6 As shown, at time t 4 Previously, the magnetic conductive member 123 and the fixed component 110 were still in a combined state, the equivalent inductance was the largest, the back electromotive force of the excitation winding 111 decreased, and the slope of change was the highest; at time t 4 -t 5 In the stage, the magnetic conductive member 123 is in motion, the equivalent inductance decreases, the back electromotive force of the excitation winding 111 decreases, and the change slope decreases significantly; at t 5 At time t, the magnetic conductive member 123 stops moving, the equivalent inductance decreases to a minimum state, the back electromotive force of the excitation winding 111 decreases, and the slope of change further decreases significantly; at time t 6 At this time, the slope of the current is very small and reaches a stable stage.

[0068] The voltage acquisition module 203 collects the real-time induced voltage of the excitation winding 111 and calculates the slope of the induced voltage change;

[0069] Determine whether the slope of the induced voltage change has a sudden change. If a sudden change occurs (at t 4 moment), it means that when the slope of the induced voltage change suddenly changes, the magnetic conductive member 123 starts to move toward the fixed component 110;

[0070] After the induced voltage change slope suddenly changes, the induced voltage change slope is compared with the set second change slope. If the induced voltage change slope is less than or equal to the set second change slope (at t 5 moment), it is determined that the magnetic conductive member 123 is combined with the fixed component 110, and the permanent magnet brake completes the braking;

[0071] When the induced voltage change slope is less than or equal to the set second change slope, it is determined that the permanent magnet brake completes braking; the prior art usually determines that the permanent magnet brake completes braking when the voltage is stable, that is, t 6 At this moment, it is determined that the brake has completed braking, which is obviously delayed in time.

[0072] More precise structural state control saves unnecessary waiting time and reduces energy consumption in the waiting link of the control system; saves unnecessary circuit signal steady-state waiting time and achieves faster release and combination; can identify the position state of the magnetic component 123, and control is more accurate and reliable, and the braking process is safer; there is no need for excessively high product quality consistency and product process performance consistency, which reduces the requirements for materials and design and has obvious cost advantages.

[0073] In some embodiments, the control unit 2 receives a release instruction and needs to maintain a certain release time, and in the release state, the release voltage U is applied to the excitation winding 111 in turn. 1 and braking voltage U 2 When the brake is kept on, the induced voltage and current variation characteristics of the excitation winding 111 are as follows: Figure 7As shown, the specific control method is as follows:

[0074] The voltage supply module 201 applies a release voltage U to the excitation winding 111. 1 ;

[0075] The current acquisition module 202 collects the real-time current of the excitation winding 111 and calculates the current change slope;

[0076] When the current change slope is less than or equal to a set first change slope, determining that the permanent magnet brake has completed release;

[0077] The voltage supply module 201 applies a braking voltage U to the excitation winding 111. 2 ;

[0078] The voltage acquisition module 203 collects the real-time induced voltage of the excitation winding 111 and calculates the slope of the induced voltage change;

[0079] Determine whether the slope of the induced voltage change has a sudden change (at t 7 At this moment), if a sudden change occurs and the induced voltage change slope is less than or equal to the set third change slope (at t 8 When the third change slope is slightly greater than the second change slope, it indicates that the magnetic conductive member 123 is in a critical combination state with the fixing assembly 110;

[0080] The voltage supply module 201 applies a release voltage U to the excitation winding 111 again. 1 ;

[0081] The current acquisition module 202 collects the real-time current of the excitation winding 111 and calculates the current change slope;

[0082] When the current change slope is less than or equal to the set first change slope (at t 9 At the time (time), it is determined that the permanent magnet brake is released;

[0083] The voltage supply module 201 applies a release voltage U to the excitation winding 111 in turn. 1 and braking voltage U 2 , so that the magnetic member 123 switches between the release state and the critical combination state until the control unit 2 receives a braking command. Keeping the brake on and switching the magnetic member 123 between the release state and the critical combination state is better than always applying the release voltage U 1 To keep the released state more energy-efficient.

[0084] In summary, the permanent magnet brake and the control method thereof provided by the present invention realize the control of the magnetic conductive part 123 through the total magnetic field of the permanent magnet 112 and the excitation winding 111, thereby realizing the braking and releasing of the permanent magnet brake. The magnetic fields of the permanent magnet 112 and the excitation winding 111 are in opposite directions, so that the excitation winding 111 can be powered off and released. The permanent magnet brake is affected by the movement of the structural components of the permanent magnet brake during the release and braking process. The state of the permanent magnet brake is confirmed by the change of the voltage and current slope of the excitation winding 111, thereby avoiding the influence of differences in circuit control parameters caused by factors such as product production performance deviation, environmental impact, and aging during use, thereby improving safety, reliability and response performance.

[0085] Furthermore, the permanent magnet brake and control method thereof provided by the present invention applies a release voltage U to the excitation winding 111 in turn after power-on release. 1 and braking voltage U 2 , so that the magnetic conductive member 123 switches between the release state and the critical combination state, compared with always applying the release voltage U 1 To keep the released state more energy-efficient.
