Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application provides an electron beam deflection scanning driving circuit, in particular a high-speed electron beam deflection scanning driving circuit, which is used for driving a deflection scanning coil and controlling high-speed electron beam deflection scanning and belongs to the technical field of electron beam current processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electron beam selective melting additive manufacturing technology uses high-speed electron beam deflection scanning to realize substrate and powder preheating and finally melt the powder to form a part, has the advantages of high forming precision, small thermal stress and the like, is suitable for near-net forming manufacturing of refractory and high-performance metal materials such as titanium alloy and titanium aluminum base alloy, and has a wide application in manufacturing of aerospace high-performance complex parts and manufacturing of porous structure medical implants. In the electron beam selective melting additive manufacturing technology, the high-speed deflection scanning system is an important core component of the electron beam selective melting additive equipment, mainly including a deflection scanning coil and a deflection scanning driving circuit; in the case of the determined deflection scanning coil, the current change speed of the deflection scanning driving circuit driving the coil determines the electron beam deflection scanning speed, and further determines the forming efficiency of the part. In theory, the faster the current speed change of the deflection scanning driving circuit, the more conducive to improving the forming efficiency of the part, and the more flexible the electron beam deflection scanning preheating and part forming control, and the control strategy for improving the part forming quality can be more flexibly implemented.

[0003] In the prior art, low-voltage power amplifiers are mostly used to drive deflection scanning coils, the driving voltage is low, the driving current is small, and the change speed of the driving current is slow, so that the scanning speed of the electron beam is also slow, and scanning traces are easily left in the scanning process, which is not conducive to the machining of precision parts. In order to improve the deflection scanning speed of the electron beam, the patent ZL201611048932.9 uses a high-voltage and high-current power amplifier PA93 and a ±160V DC power supply to drive the deflection scanning coil, and uses high voltage to excite the deflection scanning coil to improve the change speed of the driving current, and then realizes high-speed deflection scanning of the electron beam. However, since the number of turns of the deflection scanning coil is not many, the AC inductance is large, and the DC resistance is generally less than 2Ω, so in actual work, when the scanning speed of the electron beam is slow or the constant current is maintained at a certain deflection angle, most of the power is dissipated on the power amplifier, which is easy to exceed the maximum dissipation power of PA93 and cause PA93 to overheat and burn out. Taking a 2A scanning current as an example, the coil resistance is 2Ω, at this time the voltage drop on the coil is only 4V, and when the ±160V power supply is used, the output voltage of the power amplifier PA93 is only 4V, and most of the voltage drop is in the power amplifier. At this time, the dissipation power of PA93 will exceed 300W, and the maximum dissipation power of the actual PA93 is only 125W, so PA93 is easy to burn out in short-time work. Therefore, it is difficult to realize both rapid change of current and large current output by using a high-voltage and high-current power amplifier. In essence, in order to ensure the reliable work of PA93, the output current cannot be too large when working at high voltage, and must work in the safe working area to ensure that the loss power is lower than the maximum dissipation power of PA93. Furthermore, the PID regulation circuit is used for closed-loop control of the driving current, and the overshoot of the current is generally related to the amplitude of the current. When the output current is large, it is difficult to control the overshoot to be small, which directly affects the control accuracy of the output current. In addition, the price of the high-voltage and high-current power amplifier is generally high and not easy to purchase, which is not conducive to cost reduction and shortening of the development cycle.

[0036] 3. Advantages and effects:

[0037] 1) By adopting a parallel output structure of multiple power MOSFETs and power amplifiers, the total power consumption of the high voltage and high current drive circuit is distributed to each power MOSFET and power amplifier, which solves the problem that excessive power dissipation of a single power amplifier can easily lead to thermal failure of the device, and improves the working reliability of the high voltage and high current high speed drive circuit.

[0038] 2) By adopting a parallel output structure of multiple power MOSFETs and power amplifiers, the power consumption of a single power device is reduced. Therefore, the voltage of the power supply for the drive circuit can be further increased, which in turn increases the rate of change of the drive current, thereby achieving a higher electron beam deflection scanning speed.

[0039] 3) By adopting a parallel output structure of multiple power MOSFETs and power amplifier, the output current of the power amplifier is greatly reduced, which in turn reduces the current value of the current closed-loop PID regulation of the drive circuit. This helps to reduce current overshoot and oscillation, and can improve the accuracy and response speed of current control.

[0040] 4) The output current of the power amplifier is reduced, which means there are more models, manufacturers and channels of high voltage and low current power amplifiers to choose from, and the cost of components is lower, which helps to reduce the cost of the drive circuit and shorten the development cycle.

[0116] This invention addresses the need for high-precision, wide-range, and high-speed deflection scanning in electron beam selective melting additive manufacturing technology by providing a high-speed electron beam deflection scanning drive circuit. By employing a parallel output structure of multiple power MOSFETs and power amplifiers, the total power consumption of the high-voltage, high-current drive circuit is distributed among the individual power MOSFETs and power amplifiers. This solves the problem of excessive power dissipation in a single power amplifier leading to thermal failure, thus improving the reliability of the high-voltage, high-current, high-speed drive circuit. Reducing the power consumption of individual power devices allows for a further increase in the voltage of the drive circuit's power supply, further increasing the rate of change of the drive current and achieving a higher electron beam deflection scanning speed. The reduced output current of the power amplifier further reduces the current value of the drive circuit's closed-loop PID control, which helps reduce current overshoot and oscillation, improving the accuracy and response speed of current control. The reduced output current of the power amplifier allows for a wider selection of high-voltage, low-current power amplifier models, manufacturers, and channels, with lower component costs, thus reducing drive circuit costs and shortening the development cycle. The provided high-speed electron beam deflection scanning drive circuit can achieve high-speed, high-precision, and large-range electron beam deflection scanning, with a maximum scanning area of ​​410mm × 410mm, a resolution of 0.1mm, and a point-to-point (1mm spacing) scanning frequency of up to 200kHz.

[0145] The high-speed deflection scanning drive circuit of the electron beam described in this invention consists of an industrial control computer, a DSP control circuit, an opto-isolation circuit, a PID closed-loop regulation circuit, a power amplifier, a power MOSFET, and a deflection coil. By employing a parallel output structure of multiple power MOSFETs and power amplifiers, the total power consumption of the high-voltage, high-current drive circuit is distributed among the individual power MOSFETs and power amplifiers. This solves the problem of excessive power dissipation in a single power amplifier leading to thermal failure, thus improving the reliability of the high-voltage, high-current, high-speed drive circuit. Reducing the power consumption of individual power devices allows for a further increase in the voltage of the drive circuit's power supply, further increasing the rate of change of the drive current and achieving a higher electron beam deflection scanning speed. The reduced output current of the power amplifier further reduces the current value of the drive circuit's closed-loop PID control, which helps reduce current overshoot and oscillation, improving the accuracy and response speed of current control. The reduced output current of the power amplifier allows for a wider selection of high-voltage, low-current power amplifier models, manufacturers, and channels, with lower component costs, thus reducing drive circuit costs and shortening the development cycle. The provided high-speed electron beam deflection scanning drive circuit can achieve high-speed, high-precision, and large-range electron beam deflection scanning, with a maximum scanning area of ​​410mm × 410mm, a resolution of 0.1mm, and a point-to-point (1mm spacing) scanning frequency of up to 200kHz.
