The microcontroller is connected to the motor via an H-bridge drive. A current detection module is provided between the motor and the microcontroller to detect the motor current. The pressure information collected by the pressure sensor is transmitted to the microcontroller after signal conditioning. The microcontroller can receive the PWM signal input from the emergency brake controller and control the motor to run. The motor operation outputs the corresponding brake valve pressure to control the brake valve to work and achieve braking. The pressure sensor is used to collect the brake valve pressure, and the Hall sensor is used to collect the zero-point position and end-point position of the motor. The power supply is used to power the controller.

[0012] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a passive electronic brake valve controller includes a microcontroller, a motor, a pressure sensor, a Hall sensor 7, and a power supply. The microcontroller is connected to the motor via an H-bridge drive. A current detection module is provided between the motor and the microcontroller to detect the motor current. The pressure information collected by the pressure sensor is transmitted to the microcontroller after signal conditioning. The microcontroller can receive the PWM signal input from the emergency brake controller and control the motor to run. The motor operation outputs the corresponding brake valve pressure to control the brake valve to work and achieve braking. The pressure sensor is used to collect the brake valve pressure, and the Hall sensor 7 is used to collect the zero-point position and the end-point position of the motor. The power supply is used to power the controller. The Hall sensor 7 includes a zero-point Hall sensor and an end-point Hall sensor, which correspond to the zero-point and end-point stroke positions of the motor, respectively.

[0013] The controller also includes a housing 1 and a cover 2 for mounting the controller. The controller is installed and fixed inside the housing 1. The cover 2 is installed on the housing 1 using screws 3. The side of the housing 1 is also provided with two sets of plugs 5 and sockets 6 for connecting power or sensors. A sealing gasket 4 is provided at the mating point between the housing 1 and the cover 2 to improve the sealing performance of the housing 1 and protect the controller. The plugs 5 and sockets 6 are model J599 / 26WA35SN.

[0014] The controller's hardware circuitry includes lightning protection, filtering, power supply voltage conversion, pressure input, pressure feedback, Hall signal processing, microcontroller, motor drive, and current detection modules.

[0015] The power supply voltage conversion module, which generates the 12V and 3.3V voltages required for the operation of various modules within the controller assembly, is composed of a power filter, a voltage regulator, and a TVS diode.

[0016] The microcontroller module performs sampling processing. It compares the PWM signal output by the emergency brake controller with the brake valve pressure and performs PID calculations.

[0017] The Hall sensor module is used to indicate the zero and end positions of the motor. When the motor magnet reaches the position of the Hall element on the Hall sensor, the Hall element outputs a low-level signal. The microcontroller recognizes the low-level signal and controls the motor to stop.

[0018] The pressure feedback module uses an operational amplifier to form a non-inverting proportional amplifier. The (0-3)V voltage, which has been amplified by the instrument operational amplifier, is amplified again to a (0-5)V voltage signal and fed back to the flight management computer so that the flight management computer can determine whether the product pressure meets the requirements.

[0019] The current detection module is used to collect the current of the motor, and then the microcontroller determines whether an overload has occurred by judging the magnitude of the current.

[0020] The motor drive circuit consists of an H-bridge driver and MOSFETs. Its main function is to control the forward, reverse, and stop of the motor based on the PWM signal output by the microcontroller.

[0021] In operation, the controller determines the duty cycle of the PWM signal based on the high-level time of the 1kHz PWM signal output by the emergency brake controller; the microcontroller performs sampling processing; the microcontroller compares the PWM signal output by the emergency brake controller with the brake valve pressure and performs PID calculation, and outputs the corresponding PWM signal to the DC motor H-bridge drive component based on the PID calculation result, controlling the motor's forward rotation, reverse rotation, and stop to obtain the output pressure corresponding to the PWM signal of the emergency brake controller; the Hall sensor detects the zero point and end point travel position of the motor, and when the motor travels to the zero point and end point travel position, the Hall sensor outputs a low-level signal, and the controller component controls the motor to stop based on this signal.
