AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing safety control solutions for semiconductor equipment are characterized by fragmented functions, low integration, and complex wiring, making them unsuitable for miniaturization requirements. The safety interlocking mechanism is inadequate, posing a risk that the safety torque shutdown circuit remains energized after an emergency shutdown. Control reliability is poor, with MCU crashes or power failures leading to load runaway. Status monitoring capabilities are insufficient, making it difficult to distinguish between different states.

Method used

Design a self-locking safety control circuit that integrates a start control unit, an emergency stop unit, a safety torque shutdown unit, a hardware self-locking unit, and a status monitoring unit on the same circuit board. The circuit controls the load power supply through pulse start signals, emergency stop signals, and safety torque shutdown signals, and uses a hardware self-locking mechanism and a status monitoring unit to distinguish the circuit status.

Benefits of technology

It improves circuit integration, simplifies wiring, reduces installation space, avoids load runaway caused by MCU crashes or power failures, achieves complete power cut-off in emergencies, and provides reliable status identification and fault diagnosis basis.

Abstract

This application provides a self-locking safety control circuit, including: a start control unit, an emergency stop unit, a safety torque shutdown unit, a hardware self-locking unit, and a status monitoring unit integrated on the same circuit board. The start control unit generates a start trigger signal after receiving a pulse start signal; the emergency stop unit cuts off the total power supply to the hardware self-locking unit in response to an emergency stop operation; the safety torque shutdown unit cuts off the self-locking maintenance power supply circuit inside the hardware self-locking unit when the safety torque shutdown signal is disconnected; the hardware self-locking unit establishes or de-locks a self-locking state based on the received signal and controls the load output; the status monitoring unit collects the output status and distinguishes the trigger source. This circuit improves integration and safety, avoiding the risk of runaway due to MCU failure.
