Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of circuits, and in particular to a high-side 48V switch circuit for a robotic arm. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industry, more and more intelligent devices are put into production, which significantly improves productivity. As an intelligent device to assist production, collaborative robots have been more and more widely used. Generally, collaborative robots mainly consist of two parts: a controller and a robotic arm. The controller is responsible for the motion control of the robotic arm, collects and receives the status information of the tool end, and issues corresponding control instructions based on the status information of the tool end. The robotic arm is mainly responsible for moving the tool end to the specified position according to the path planned by the controller. Due to the high power of the robotic arm, a 48V power supply is mostly used. The controller needs to be powered all the time to facilitate user operation and real-time understanding of the robot's status information. In order to prevent misoperation, the robotic arm is usually powered off when not in operation.
[0003] The mainstream solution on the market is to use a dual power supply of 24V and 48V. The 24V power supply is a standby power supply that is always in power supply state and is used by the controller. The robotic arm is powered by a 48V power supply. It is not powered by default and is only powered when working. When the controller receives the power-on command for the robotic arm, it controls the electromagnetic relay to close the normally open contacts of the electromagnetic relay to achieve the purpose of controlling the 48V power supply of the robotic arm. In addition, since the robotic arm often needs to brake during movement, and the motor will generate back electromotive force during braking, causing the power supply voltage to be too high, exceeding the safe working range of the components on the single board, so a discharge board is often required for discharge when overvoltage occurs.
[0004] This control method requires a special control cabinet to fix the 24V and 48V switching power supplies, and it must be used with electromagnetic relays and discharge boards. There are many devices used, which takes up a large space. There are strict requirements on space during factory site layout and installation. Limited by the power limit of MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), when MOSFET is directly used to replace electromagnetic relays as the switch to control the power supply of the robot arm, MOSFET is often damaged due to overcurrent or overvoltage and cannot meet the use requirements.

In this design scheme, only the key circuit structure is listed according to the technical problem, that is, the simplified circuit structure, and does not represent the complete charge and discharge circuit structure.

[0048] The gates of the three MOS tubes are controlled by three turn-on signals respectively, and the key to this embodiment is to control the three turn-on signals.
[0049] Figure 4It is a detailed circuit diagram of the detection control circuit, which specifically includes three optocouplers U1, U2 and U3, a voltage stabilizing diode U4 and an AND gate U5. The two input ends of the AND gate U5 input the two power-on enable signals (i.e., 48VOFFA8 and 48VOFFKV) output by the controller 1, and the two outputs are grounded through two parallel voltage-dividing resistors R4 and R5.
[0050] The output of the AND gate U5 is simultaneously connected to the first optocoupler U1 and the third optocoupler U3, wherein the diode output in the first optocoupler U1 is grounded, the collector of the phototransistor inputs the gate control signal VGATE output by the protection circuit, and the emitter outputs the start-up signal Main-S of the main power supply circuit.

The input end of the inverter U7 is connected to the positive electrode of the voltage-stabilizing diode U6, and outputs the opening signal DIS of the discharge circuit.
[0052] In the above circuit structure, all the Zener diodes are used as comparators. When the base voltage of the Zener diode is greater than the internal reference voltage of 2.5V, it is turned on, and when it is less than the internal reference voltage of 2.5V, it is turned off. That is, by comparing the base with the internal reference voltage, it is determined whether the Zener diode is outputting conduction, that is, whether the potential value output at the position is high or low.
[0053] In the above structure, when the two power-on enable signals output by the controller 1 are effectively high, the gate chip U5 outputs a high-level signal, the first optocoupler U1 and the third optocoupler U3 are turned on, and the gate signal VGATE is connected to Pre-S, that is, the turn-on signal Pre-S is output through the first optocoupler U1, the MOS tube Q1 in the charging circuit 31 is turned on, and the bus voltage 48VOUT of the robotic arm 4 rises.
[0054] When the bus voltage 48VOUT of the robot 4 rises to the set threshold voltage Vth, the voltage regulator diode U4 outputs a low level, the second optocoupler U2 is turned on, and the gate signal VGATE is connected to Main-S, that is, the second optocoupler U2 outputs the turn-on signal Main-S, the MOS tube Q2 in the main power supply circuit is turned on, and the power supply of the robot 4 is cut to the path of the main power supply circuit 2 to complete the power-on.
[0055] When the bus voltage 48VOUT of the robot 4 is greater than the set threshold voltage Vth, the voltage regulator diode U6 outputs a low level, and the inverter U7 outputs an on signal DIS, thereby turning on the MOS tube Q3 in the discharge circuit 32, and the bus of the robot 4 is discharged through the current limiting resistors R11 and R12 until the bus voltage 48VOUT drops to less than the threshold voltage Vth.
[0056] Figure 5 It is a circuit diagram of a protection circuit, including a voltage-stabilizing diode U10, and U13, an AND gate U11, and a fourth optocoupler U12. The positive electrode of the voltage-stabilizing diode U10 is connected to the two input ports of the AND gate U11 at the same time, and the negative electrode is grounded. The single-board 48V voltage source is grounded through two voltage-dividing resistors R20 and R21 connected in series, and the base of the voltage-stabilizing diode U10 is connected between the voltage-dividing resistors R20 and R21. In addition, the positive electrode of the voltage-stabilizing diode U10 is externally connected to a resistor R22, and the negative electrode is grounded, and R22 is further connected to the power supply VCC. The output of the AND gate U11 is connected to the fourth optocoupler U12, and the output of the fourth optocoupler U12 is grounded. The collector of the phototransistor in the fourth optocoupler U12 inputs the gate control signal VGATE, and the emitter output is connected to the positive electrode of the voltage-stabilizing diode U13, and the negative electrode of the voltage-stabilizing diode U13 is grounded. When the 48V voltage source of the single board is lower than the threshold voltage, the voltage regulator diode U10 outputs a high level, the fourth optical coupler U12 is turned on, and the gate signal VGATE is clamped to the rated working voltage of the voltage regulator tube. Since the optocouplers U1 and U2 in the detection control circuit 5 are both controlled by the gate signal VGATE to control the turn-on signal, after VGATE is clamped to the rated working voltage of the voltage regulator tube, the input voltages of U1 and U2 will be controlled within the set range, and the MOS tubes therein will not be broken down by the protection circuit 6.
[0057] Based on the above circuit, the embodiment of the present application further provides a circuit control method, including the following:
[0058] Step 1: The controller sends a power-on command to the robot arm;
[0059] Step 2: After the detection control circuit (module) receives the power-on command of the robot arm, it sends a turn-on signal of the MOSFET in the charge and discharge circuit (module);
[0060] Step 3: The charging circuit in the charging and discharging circuit (module) is turned on, and the robot arm starts to power on. Limited by the current limiting resistor in the charging and discharging circuit (module), the bus voltage of the robot arm rises slowly;
[0061] Step 4: After the detection control circuit (module) detects that the bus voltage of the robot arm rises to the threshold voltage Vth43.7V, it sends a turn-on signal for the MOSFET in the main power supply circuit, and the voltage of the robot arm further increases to 48V, completing the power-on;
[0062] Step 5: The controller sends a motion command to the robotic arm, and the robotic arm starts to move;
[0063] Step 6: When the detection control circuit (module) detects that the bus voltage of the robot arm is over-voltage, it sends a turn-on signal of the discharge circuit MOSFET in the charge and discharge circuit (module), and the robot arm starts to discharge through the current limiting resistor, and the bus voltage of the robot arm starts to decrease;
[0064] Step 7: When the bus voltage of the robot arm drops to near the normal 48V voltage, the detection control (module) sends a shutdown signal of the discharge circuit MOSFET in the charge and discharge circuit (module), and the robot arm stops discharging;
[0065] If the robot loses power abnormally, execute step 8, otherwise execute steps 6 and 7 in a normal cycle;
[0066] Step 8. When the robot arm loses power abnormally, the protection circuit (module) operates and sends a protection signal to the detection control circuit (module), limiting the amplitude of the MOSFET turn-on signal output by the detection control circuit (module) to prevent the MOSFET in the main power supply circuit and the charging circuit from breaking down due to overvoltage.
[0067] In summary, this solution sets up a charging and discharging circuit, a detection control circuit and a protection circuit separately in the circuit. In particular, an optocoupler device is introduced in the detection control circuit to generate an on-off signal for controlling the on and off of the MOS tubes in the charging circuit and the discharging circuit. When the bus voltage is overvoltage, the on-off signal of the MOS tube is controlled to discharge to achieve bus voltage regulation. The optocoupler introduced in the protection circuit can control the amplitude of the on-off signal to prevent the MOSFET in the main power supply circuit and the charging and discharging circuit from breaking down due to overvoltage.
