Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of servo drive technology, and in particular to a servo drive controller and a robot. Background Art

[0002] The servo drive controller is used to drive and control the motor. Since the servo drive controller uses a large-capacity capacitor as a bus load, the discharge process is slow when it is shut down.

[0003] In the related art, an additional discharge circuit is provided in the servo drive controller to accelerate the discharge process of the servo drive controller. Although the discharge efficiency is improved, the circuit complexity and cost of the servo drive controller are correspondingly increased. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.

[0005] To this end, a first aspect of the present application proposes a servo drive controller.

[0006] A second aspect of the present application provides a robot.

[0007] In view of this, according to the first aspect of the present application, a servo drive controller is proposed for controlling a motor, the servo drive controller comprising: a braking resistor connected to the motor; a switch element, a first end of the switch element connected to a power line bus, and a second end of the switch element connected to the braking resistor; a switch driver connected to a control end of the switch element, wherein the switch driver controls the switch element to be turned on when receiving an enable signal, so that the braking resistor discharges the power line bus.

[0008] In this technical solution, the servo drive controller is used to control the operation of the motor, and the servo drive controller includes a brake resistor, wherein the brake resistor is connected to the motor controlled by the servo drive controller, and the brake resistor can convert the regenerative electric energy generated by the motor when the motor stops quickly into heat energy. It should be noted that during the rapid stopping process of the motor, a large amount of regenerative electric energy will be generated due to inertia. If the generated regenerative electric energy is not consumed in time, the regenerative electric energy will directly act on the drive controller, causing the drive controller to malfunction.

[0009] In this technical solution, the servo drive controller also includes a switch element and a switch driver for controlling the on-off state of the switch element. The first end and the second end of the switch element are respectively connected to the power line bus and the brake resistor, that is, the on-off state of the switch element can adjust the on-off state between the power line bus and the brake resistor. When the switch element is in the on state, the brake resistor is connected to the power line bus to discharge the voltage on the power line bus. When the switch element is in the off state, the brake resistor will not discharge the power line bus. The switch driver is connected to the control end of the switch element, and the switch driver can control the on-off state of the switch element. After receiving the enable signal, the switch driver controls the switch element to turn on, so that the brake resistor is connected to the power line bus to discharge the power line bus.

[0010] In the technical solution of the present application, the braking resistor in the servo drive controller is used to discharge the brake of the motor. By reusing the braking resistor in the servo drive controller, there is no need to set up an additional discharge circuit in the servo drive controller, thereby reducing the circuit complexity of the servo drive controller. While ensuring the discharge speed, the cost of the servo drive controller is reduced.

[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, the servo drive controller also includes a power-off detection module and a main control chip.

[0012] Among them, the power-off detection module is connected to the AC power supply and is used to obtain the power-off detection signal, and the AC power supply is used to power the servo drive controller; the main control chip is connected to the power-off detection module and the switch driver and is used to delay the transmission of the enable signal to the switch driver for a preset period of time after receiving the power-off detection signal transmitted by the power-off detection module.

[0013] In this technical solution, a power-off detection module is used to detect whether the servo drive controller has a power outage. The power-off detection module is connected to the AC power supply connected to the servo drive controller. The power-off detection module can detect whether the AC power supply has a power outage on the servo drive controller.

[0014] The servo drive controller also includes a main control chip, which is the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) of the servo drive controller. The power-off detection module is connected to the main control chip. The power-off detection module can send the power-off detection signal to the main control chip when the power-off detection signal is obtained, so that the main control chip can promptly know that the servo drive controller is about to lose power. After the main control chip receives the power-off detection signal, it delays the preset time to send an enable signal to the switch driver, that is, after the main control chip receives the power-off detection signal, the delay control switch is turned on to delay the discharge of the power line bus, so that the servo drive controller has enough time to save the data.

[0015] Specifically, after the main control chip receives the power-off detection signal, it controls the servo drive controller to save the operating data within the preset delay time. After the preset delay time, the main control chip sends an enable signal to the switch driver to control the switch to turn on, thereby discharging the servo drive control.

[0016] In the technical solution of the present application, the power-off detection module in the servo drive controller is used to detect the loss of the AC power supply. By multiplexing the power-off detection module in the servo controller, the main control chip can delay the on and off state of the switch based on the power-off detection signal, so that the servo drive controller can have sufficient time to save the data.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the preset time length ranges from 2 seconds to 4 seconds.

[0018] In this technical solution, the preset time is the delay time between the main control chip receiving the power failure detection signal and sending the enable signal to the switch driver. By setting the value range of the preset time to a minimum of 2 seconds and a maximum of 4 seconds, the servo drive controller has enough time to save the operating data and can complete the discharge within 5 seconds after the power failure occurs, which meets the requirements of fast discharge.

[0019] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting the preset time between the moment the main control chip receives the power-off detection signal and the moment it sends the enable signal to the switch driver to 2 seconds to 4 seconds, it is ensured that the servo drive controller has sufficient time to save the operating data while meeting the demand for rapid discharge.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the power failure detection module includes:

[0021] A rectifier circuit, wherein the first end and the second end of the rectifier circuit are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the AC power supply; an optocoupler, wherein the first end of the optocoupler is connected to the third end of the rectifier circuit, the second end of the optocoupler is connected to the fourth end of the rectifier circuit, the third end of the optocoupler is grounded, and the fourth end of the optocoupler is connected to the main control chip; a pull-up resistor, wherein the first end of the pull-up resistor is connected to the fourth end of the optocoupler, and the second end of the pull-up resistor is connected to the DC power supply; and a first capacitor, wherein the first end of the first capacitor is connected to the second end of the pull-up resistor, and the second end of the first capacitor is grounded.

At this time, the fourth end to the third end of the optocoupler is turned on, and the DC signal of the DC power supply is grounded through the fourth end and the third end of the optocoupler. When the AC power supply is in a power-off state, the DC signal transmitted by the rectifier circuit to the first and second ends of the optocoupler disappears, and the light source of the optocoupler loses power and stops emitting light, and the light receiver cannot receive the light signal of the light source, then the fourth end to the third end of the optocoupler is in a disconnected state, and the DC signal of the DC power supply is transmitted to the main control chip as a power-off detection signal.

The first current-limiting resistor can limit the current from the live wire of the AC power supply to the second end of the first diode and the first end of the second diode, thereby preventing excessive current from impacting the first diode and the second diode. The second current-limiting resistor can limit the current from the neutral wire of the AC power supply to the second end of the third diode and the first end of the fourth diode, thereby preventing excessive current from impacting the first diode and the second diode.

[0058] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the present embodiment and the features in the embodiment can be combined with each other.

[0059] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0060] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 4 A servo drive controller and a robot according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 1 shows a circuit diagram of a servo drive controller provided in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a servo drive controller 100 is proposed for controlling a motor 204. The servo drive controller 100 includes:

[0062] A braking resistor R1 is connected to the motor 204; a switch element 110, wherein a first end of the switch element 110 is connected to the power line bus bus, and a second end of the switch element 110 is connected to the braking resistor R1; a switch driver 120 is connected to a control end of the switch element 110, wherein the switch driver 120 controls the switch element 110 to be turned on when receiving an enable signal, so that the braking resistor R1 discharges the power line bus bus.

[0063] In this embodiment, the servo drive controller 100 is used to control the operation of the motor 204. The servo drive controller 100 includes a brake resistor R1, wherein the brake resistor R1 is connected to the motor 204 controlled by the servo drive controller 100. The brake resistor R1 can convert the regenerative electric energy generated by the motor 204 due to the rapid stop into heat energy when the motor 204 stops rapidly. It should be noted that during the rapid stop process of the motor 204, a large amount of regenerative electric energy will be generated due to the effect of inertia. If the generated regenerative electric energy is not consumed in time, the regenerative electric energy will directly act on the drive controller, causing the drive controller to malfunction.

[0064] In this embodiment, the servo drive controller 100 also includes a switch element 110 and a switch driver 120 for controlling the on-off state of the switch element 110. The first end and the second end of the switch element 110 are respectively connected to the power line bus bus and the brake resistor R1, that is, the on-off state of the switch element 110 can adjust the on-off state between the power line bus bus and the brake resistor R1. When the switch element 110 is in the on state, the brake resistor R1 is connected to the power line bus bus to discharge the voltage on the power line bus bus. When the switch element 110 is in the off state, the brake resistor R1 will not discharge the power line bus bus. The switch driver 120 is connected to the control end of the switch element 110, and the switch driver 120 can control the on-off state of the switch element 110. After receiving the enable signal, the switch driver 120 controls the switch element 110 to turn on, so that the brake resistor R1 is connected to the power line bus bus to discharge the power line bus bus.

[0065] Exemplarily, the switch element 110 may be an IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor), and the switch driver 120 may be an IGBT gate driver. For example, when the power line bus is powered off, the power line bus needs to be discharged, and an enable signal is sent to the IGBT gate driver. After receiving the enable signal, the IGBT driver can control the IGBT to turn on, so that the brake resistor R1 is connected to the power line bus bus, and the remaining electric energy in the power line bus bus is dissipated through the brake resistor R1.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the braking resistor R1 in the servo drive controller 100 is used to discharge the brake of the motor 204. By reusing the braking resistor R1 in the servo drive controller 100, there is no need to set up an additional discharge circuit in the servo drive controller 100, thereby reducing the circuit complexity of the servo drive controller 100. While ensuring the discharge speed, the cost of the servo drive controller 100 is reduced.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the servo drive controller 100 further includes a power-off detection module 130 and a main control chip 140 .

[0068] Among them, the power-off detection module 130 is connected to the alternating current power supply AC and is used to obtain a power-off detection signal. The alternating current power supply AC is used to power the servo drive controller 100. The main control chip 140 is connected to the power-off detection module 130 and the switch driver 120 and is used to delay the transmission of an enable signal to the switch driver 120 for a preset period of time when receiving the power-off detection signal transmitted by the power-off detection module 130.

[0069] In this embodiment, the power-off detection module 130 is used to detect whether the servo drive controller 100 has a power outage. The power-off detection module 130 is connected to the alternating current power supply AC connected to the servo drive controller 100. Through the power-off detection module 130, it is possible to detect whether the alternating current power supply AC has a power outage on the servo drive controller 100.

[0070] The servo drive controller 100 also includes a main control chip 140, which is the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) of the servo drive controller 100. The power-off detection module 130 is connected to the main control chip 140. The power-off detection module 130 can send the power-off detection signal to the main control chip 140 when the power-off detection signal is obtained, so that the main control chip 140 can timely know that the servo drive controller 100 is about to be powered off. After the main control chip 140 receives the power-off detection signal, it delays the preset time to send an enable signal to the switch driver 120, that is, after the main control chip 140 receives the power-off detection signal, the delay control switch 110 is turned on to delay the discharge of the power line bus bus, so that the servo drive controller 100 has enough time to save the data.

[0071] Specifically, after receiving the power-off detection signal, the main control chip 140 controls the servo drive controller 100 to save the operating data within the preset delay time. After the preset delay time, the main control chip 140 sends an enable signal to the switch driver 120 to control the switch element 110 to turn on and discharge the servo drive control.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the power-off detection module 130 in the servo drive controller 100 is used to detect the loss of the alternating current power supply AC. By multiplexing the power-off detection module 130 in the servo controller, the main control chip 140 can delay the on and off state of the switch element 110 based on the power-off detection signal, so that the servo drive controller 100 can have a sufficient time to save the data.

[0073] In any of the above embodiments, the preset duration ranges from 2 seconds to 4 seconds.

[0074] In this embodiment, the preset time length is the delay time length between the main control chip 140 receiving the power failure detection signal and sending the enable signal to the switch driver 120. By setting the value range of the preset time length to a minimum of 2 seconds and a maximum of 4 seconds, the servo drive controller 100 has enough time to save the operation data and can complete the discharge within 5 seconds after the power failure occurs, which meets the requirement of fast discharge.

[0076] Exemplarily, the discharge duration is calculated by the following formula (1):

[0077]

[0078] Where t is the discharge time, R is the resistance value of the brake resistor R1, C is the capacitance value of the power line bus, V 1 is the target voltage, V 0 is the initial voltage, V t is the voltage at time t.

[0079] For example, the initial voltage of the power line bus bus is 311V, the resistance value of the brake resistor R1 is 30Ω, the capacitance value of the power line bus bus is 4100μF, and the target voltage of the discharge is 60V. The discharge time calculated by the above formula (1) is 0.202 seconds. At this time, the preset time value range can be set to 4 seconds. The total time required from obtaining the power-off detection signal to completing the discharge is 4.202 seconds, which can ensure that the servo drive controller 100 has enough time to save the data while meeting the demand for rapid discharge, further improving the safety of the servo drive controller 100.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting the preset time length between the moment the main control chip 140 receives the power-off detection signal and the moment the enable signal is sent to the switch driver 120 to 2 seconds to 4 seconds, it is ensured that the servo drive controller 100 has sufficient time to save the operating data while meeting the demand for rapid discharge.

At this time, the fourth end to the third end of the optocoupler 134 is turned on, and the DC signal of the DC power supply is grounded through the fourth and third ends of the optocoupler 134.

When the alternating current power source AC is powered off, the fourth end to the third end of the optocoupler 134 are in a disconnected state. At this time, the direct current signal of the direct current power source is transmitted to the main control chip 140 as a power-off detection signal. Through the power-off detection module 130, whether the alternating current power source AC is powered off can be accurately monitored.
