[0020] The technical solution provided by the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0022] The driving circuit 10 is applied to a muscle electromagnetic instrument. Figure 1 It can be seen that the drive circuit 10 includes: two relays 101, which are respectively connected to the signal source 20, and are used to receive control signals and control the working states of the isolation coupling transformer 102 and the power driver 103; the power driver 103 is used to control the load 30 connected to the drive circuit 10 according to the control signal; the isolation coupling transformer 102 is connected between the power driver 103 and the load 30, and is used to isolate the electrical signal between the control signal and the load 30.

[0023] The signal source 20 is an external unit for providing a control signal to the driving circuit 10, which is not limited here. Specifically, the control signal may include a digital signal or an analog signal. The relay 101 may be a transistor relay, an NPN relay or an optocoupler driven relay.

[0024] This embodiment can effectively isolate the electrical signal between the control signal and the load by using an isolation coupling transformer in the driving circuit, thereby preventing signal interference and electrical noise from affecting the load, so that when the driving circuit is applied to the muscle electromagnet, the stability and reliability of the output signal of the entire muscle electromagnet is improved.

[0025] In one embodiment, the control ends of the two relays are connected to the signal source, wherein the contact of one relay 101 is connected to the input end of the power driver 103; the contact of the other relay 101 is connected to the input end of the isolation coupling transformer 102, the output end of the power driver 103 is connected to the input end of the isolation coupling transformer 102, and the output end of the isolation coupling transformer 102 is connected to the load 30. This embodiment can accurately control the working state of the power driver and the isolation coupling transformer through the switching action of the relay contacts, thereby achieving precise control of the load.

[0026] In one embodiment, the isolation coupling transformer 102 includes a single-phase dual-winding isolation coupling transformer.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a single-phase dual-winding isolation coupling transformer provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0028] Specifically, the primary winding 401 is connected to the contacts of the corresponding relay and the output of the power driver as the input end of the isolation coupling transformer, and the secondary winding 402 is connected to the load as the output end of the isolation coupling transformer. The control signal output by the power driver is coupled from the primary winding to the secondary winding and then output to the load, which can effectively isolate the electrical interference between the drive circuit and the load.

[0029] In one embodiment, the driving circuit 10 further includes an amplifier, a filter and a shaper; the amplifier, the filter and the shaper are sequentially connected between the isolation coupling transformer and the load.

[0030] In this embodiment, the driver is connected to an isolation coupling transformer, which is coupled to the secondary winding to complete the transmission of the control signal. The control signal coupled from the primary winding to the secondary winding is then amplified, filtered, and shaped before being output to the load, thereby improving the accuracy of the signal while avoiding various interferences.
