Detailed Implementation
[0035] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0036] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a current overload protection method for a circuit board of an electric jack, comprising the following steps:
[0037] S1. Magnetic induction detection: A radial magnetic pin 2 that rotates with the shaft is installed at the end of the motor gear shaft 1 of the electric jack. The 0.5-1.2mm gap between the radial magnetic pin 2 and the Hall device 4 on the circuit board 3 generates a periodic magnetic field change, and the number of motor rotations is collected in real time.
[0038] S2. Dynamic parameter calculation: The control module 5 on the circuit board 3 receives the Hall signal from the Hall device 4 and the data from the temperature sensor 14, and calculates the current position of the nut and the current load intensity by combining the preset electric jack screw pitch parameters.
[0039] S3, Multi-level overload response: An electronic circuit breaker 6 is integrated on the circuit board 3, and the electronic circuit breaker 6 is linked with the current sensor 7 to continuously collect the operating current of the circuit board 3. When the current exceeds the threshold, the electromagnetic coil 8 on the circuit board 3 drives the bimetallic strip 9 to deform and cut off the main circuit of the circuit board 3 according to the preset logic.
[0040] S4. Self-recovery control: After the bimetallic strip 9 cools down, the contacts of the bimetallic strip 9 are reset by the reset spring 10, and the system returns to standby state.
[0041] The gear shaft 1 has an adjustable mounting base at its end, and radial magnetic pins 2 are located on both sides of the adjustable mounting base. The distance between the adjustable mounting base and the Hall device 4 is adjusted by changing the screw depth of the adjustable mounting base at the end of the gear shaft 1. The Hall device 4 is surrounded by a permalloy magnetic shield with an opening angle of 120-150 degrees to shield non-axial magnetic field interference. The electromagnetic coil 8 adopts a double-layer winding structure, and the reset spring 10 is a conical helical spring with a wire diameter of 0.8-1.2mm and a free height of 12-15mm. The bimetallic strip 9 is made of nickel-iron alloy with a thickness of 0.15-0.25mm, and the surface of the bimetallic strip 9 is provided with an arc-shaped compensation groove with a curvature radius of 8-12mm to compensate for deformation deviation caused by thermal stress. Its contact separation response time is ≤0.5 seconds.
[0042] In step S3, the electromagnetic coil 8 on circuit board 3 drives the bimetallic strip 9 to deform and cut off the main circuit of circuit board 3 according to the preset logic. This has a three-level triggering mechanism and is executed in the following manner:
[0043] (1) Level 1 response: When the current on the circuit board 3 exceeds 120% of the rated value for 3-5 seconds, the inner winding of the electromagnetic coil 8 is energized to generate a weak magnetic field, causing the bimetallic strip 9 to slowly bend and disconnect the contact.
[0044] (2) Secondary response: When the current on the circuit board 3 instantaneously exceeds 200% of the rated value, the outer winding of the electromagnetic coil 8 and the bimetallic strip 9 work together to complete the contact separation within 0.1 seconds;
[0045] (3) Three-level response: When the temperature sensor 14 detects that the temperature of the circuit board 3 exceeds the upper limit of 60 degrees, the bimetallic strip 9 autonomously deforms and cuts off the circuit.
[0046] In step S2, the stroke control of the nut is achieved in the following way:
[0047] The lifting distance input by the user is received by the touch screen 11 connected to one side of the circuit board 3, and the microprocessor 12 on the circuit board 3 converts it into the theoretical number of rotations according to the lead screw pitch; the Hall device 4 detects the actual number of rotations in real time, and dynamically adjusts the motor speed of the electric jack through the PWM drive circuit 13.
[0048] The inner winding of the electromagnetic coil 8 is made of 0.5mm enameled wire with 30-35 turns and covered with a high-temperature resistant insulation layer. The outer winding of the electromagnetic coil 8 is made of 0.3mm enameled wire with 45-50 turns and filled with thermally conductive silicone between the turns.
[0049] Specifically, for every 1 degree increase in ambient temperature of circuit board 3 detected by temperature sensor 14, control module 5 reduces current threshold by 0.5A, and the real-time temperature of temperature sensor 14 is fed back to PWM drive circuit 13 to adjust output frequency in a 5%-10% gradient.
[0050] The circuit board 3 has a 2oz thick copper-clad laminate as its substrate layer, and an array of aluminum fins with a spacing of 1.2-1.8mm is set on the surface of the circuit board 3. A guide groove with an inclination angle of 15-25 degrees is opened between adjacent fins. The circuit board 3 is installed in a waterproof housing a. The waterproof housing a is installed on the top of the electric jack housing by bolts, and a rubber sealing ring is set between the waterproof housing a and the electric jack housing.
[0051] The principle of the circuit board's overload protection method is as follows:
[0052] First, by adjusting the depth of the adjustable mounting base above the gear shaft 1 of the electric jack to change the distance (0.5-1.2mm) between the radial magnetic pin 2 and the Hall device 4, 4-6 standard pulse signals are generated per revolution. When the gear shaft 1 drives the radial magnetic pin 2 to rotate, a periodic magnetic field change is formed at the Hall device 4. The permalloy shielding cover confines the magnetic field to the 120-150° detection area, eliminating radial magnetic field interference.
[0053] Second, after receiving the Hall pulse signal from the Hall device 4, the control module 5 calculates the nut stroke based on the screw pitch parameter of the electric jack: Stroke L = Pulse number N × Screw pitch P, and the current load intensity I is calculated according to the formula:
[0054]
[0055] Where T is the motor torque, ω is the angular velocity, and K t K is the torque constant. e It is the back electromotive force constant;
[0056] Third, when the current on circuit board 3 exceeds 120% of the rated value for more than 3 seconds, the inner winding of electromagnetic coil 8 is energized to generate a magnetic field of 50-70mT, and bimetallic strip 9 bends and disconnects the contact within 20-30 seconds; when the current on circuit board 3 instantaneously exceeds 200% of the rated value, the outer winding of electromagnetic coil 8 generates a magnetic field of 120-150mT, which works together with bimetallic strip 9 to complete contact separation within 0.1 seconds; when temperature sensor 14 detects that the temperature of circuit board 3 exceeds 60 degrees, bimetallic strip 9 deforms autonomously to cut off the circuit.
[0057] Fourth, when the bimetallic strip 9 cools to a temperature below 40 degrees Celsius, the conical helical spring generates a restoring force, pushing the contacts of the bimetallic strip 9 to reset.
[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
