Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] This invention provides a proportional valve drive control method that can solve the technical problem that the chatter frequency, switching frequency and chatter amplitude cannot be adjusted independently when using a fully digital PWM modulated proportional valve.
[0022] See Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a proportional valve drive control method, including the following steps: Step S1: The main control module acquires the command current, and the sampling module acquires the output current of the proportional valve, wherein the command current is... i ref = i ave + A 0 sinω 0 t , i ave For output current i oThe average value, A 0 sinω 0 t This is the flutter current; A 0 represents the amplitude of the flutter current; Step S2: Calculate the difference between the command current and the output current. i er Input current loop controller Obtain the modulation voltage u o ,in , u o = i er H i ( s ); Step S3: Set the modulation voltage u o After modulation K PWM After modulation, a sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal is obtained, in which... K PWM Equivalent to 1; Step S4: The sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal is sent to the power module. The sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal is amplified by the MOSFET to obtain a high-frequency DC square wave high-voltage drive proportional valve.
[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the proportional valve drive control method first acquires the command current and the output current of the proportional valve collected by the sampling module; then, the difference between the command current and the output current is input into the current loop controller to obtain the modulation voltage; then, the modulation voltage is modulated to obtain a sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal; finally, the sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal is sent to the power module to drive the proportional valve.
[0024] By adjusting the chatter current using a sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, the chatter frequency, switching frequency, and chatter amplitude can all be freely adjusted, improving the valve core response speed and sensitivity, and reducing hysteresis.

K p Represents the proportionality coefficient. K r Represents the resonance coefficient. ω 0 represents the angular frequency of the flutter current. ω c Indicates the cutoff frequency. i ave For output current i o The average value, A 0 sinω 0 t This is the flutter current; A 0 represents the amplitude of the chatter current, and the frequency of the chatter current is independently controlled by the fundamental frequency. The switching frequency is determined by... K pwm The carrier frequency is independently controlled and is independent of the flutter current frequency, and the flutter amplitude is independently controlled by the fundamental amplitude and is independent of the flutter current frequency.
[0027] By precisely matching the resonant frequency of the current loop controller with the frequency of the command current, decoupled control of the chatter frequency, switching frequency, and chatter amplitude is achieved. This solves the problem of mutual coupling between current frequency and amplitude in traditional proportional valve drive schemes. No additional hardware is required; decoupled control is achieved solely through parameter configuration of the fundamental frequency, carrier frequency, and fundamental amplitude, thus reducing the cost of proportional valve control.

[0029] By adjusting the chatter current using a sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, the chatter frequency, switching frequency, and chatter amplitude can all be freely adjusted, improving the valve core response speed and sensitivity, and reducing hysteresis.
[0030] See Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the power module includes: a driver chip, a first switch, a first diode, a second diode, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor; The first terminal of the first capacitor is grounded. The second terminal of the first capacitor is connected to the first terminal of the first diode. The second terminal of the first diode is connected to the first terminal of the second capacitor. The first terminal of the second capacitor is connected to the eighth terminal of the driver chip. The second terminal of the second capacitor is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor. The first terminal of the second resistor is connected to the seventh terminal of the driver chip. The second terminal of the second resistor is connected to the gate of the first switch.

The second terminal of the second diode is grounded. The source of the first switch is connected to the proportional valve. The drain of the first switch is connected to an external power supply. The first terminal of the driver chip is connected to the power module. The second terminal of the driver chip is connected to the main control module.
