Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of valves, and in particular to a constant current and PWM dual drive circuit suitable for IP modules. Background Technology

[0002] The valve positioner is a key accessory for control valves, typically used in conjunction with pneumatic control valves. It receives the output signal from the controller and then uses its output signal to control the pneumatic control valve. After the control valve actuates, the displacement of the valve stem is fed back to the valve positioner via a mechanical device, and the valve position status is transmitted to the upper-level system via an electrical signal.

[0003] The key component of a valve positioner is the electrical conversion module (IP module), whose main function is to convert electrical signals into pneumatic signals. By amplifying the back pressure of the nozzle and controlling the flow, it provides sufficient power to operate the pneumatic control valve. The accuracy, real-time performance, reliability, vibration resistance, and low power consumption of the IP module directly affect the overall performance of the valve positioner. Designing a superior IP module is crucial for achieving intelligent valve positioners.

[0004] The invention, "An Electrical Conversion Module for a Soft Magnetic Counterweight Nozzle Baffle," provides an electrical conversion module for a soft magnetic counterweight nozzle baffle. The baffle is designed as a seesaw structure, using a counterweight to balance the force on the baffle, thereby effectively reducing the force required from the electromagnetic coil and achieving the technical effects of reduced power consumption and improved sensitivity. However, because the force balance of the counterweight is very sensitive, it is difficult to provide a sufficiently fast response when using a traditional constant current drive mode to drive this IP module, thus failing to obtain stable control values.

[0005] Similar issues exist in other IP modules with different structures. If the sensitivity of the baffle is improved through mechanical design, it becomes difficult to obtain stable control values ​​using only constant current drive mode. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a constant current and PWM dual-drive circuit. The PWM drive circuit provides a fast response and obtains a stable control value. At the same time, in order to eliminate noise during the operation of the IP module, a constant current drive circuit is set up to mitigate the severe airflow vibration caused by rapid voltage changes.

[0030] Traditional IP modules are mostly driven by constant current. However, the IP module driven in this embodiment features an innovative design using a seesaw-like baffle. This structure effectively improves the sensitivity of the IP module, but it also increases the difficulty of control, making it difficult to achieve stable airflow pressure using constant current drive. To improve the response speed of the control system, PWM drive is chosen, which can meet the practical application requirements in terms of speed and stability. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the IP module generates considerable noise during operation. The noise may originate from the following aspects: (1) Friction between the baffle and the nozzle: Friction occurs between the gap between the baffle and the nozzle, which generates noise.

[0031] (2) Unstable movement of the baffle: When adjusting the flow rate, the unevenness of the counterweight or the looseness of the adjustment mechanism can cause the baffle to move unstable, resulting in noise.

[0032] (3) Instability of gas flow: When the fluid passes through the nozzle and baffle, the fluid flow becomes unstable due to changes in parameters such as flow rate and pressure, which in turn generates noise.

[0033] In summary, the noise is caused by the impact response resulting from voltage changes during PWM driving, which interferes with the stability of gas flow. To reduce noise, this embodiment employs a combination of constant current driving and PWM driving. When the deviation is large, PWM driving is used; when the deviation is small, constant current driving is used. By experimentally determining the optimal superposition ratio of constant current driving and PWM driving, the noise generated during IP module operation can be effectively reduced while ensuring control accuracy and speed. The control method of this embodiment can also be applied to other high-sensitivity IP modules.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, and for those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific details without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents.
