Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of teaching, in particular to an analog electronic PID balance ball bar. Background Art

[0002] The balance ball bar device is a commonly used teaching experiment device in the major of automatic control. The main body is a cross bar and a small ball, and the small ball can roll on the cross bar. The motor controls the horizontal tilt angle of the cross bar through a mechanical structure. After tilting, the small ball starts to roll under the action of gravity. By repeatedly adjusting the tilt angle of the cross bar, the position where the small ball stops after rolling is controlled. Students design a PID control loop to control the rotation of the motor, so that the movement of the cross bar is stable and the small ball can quickly stop at the set position.

[0003] For the mechanical part, there are two methods in the prior art solutions

[0004] One is that the middle of the cross bar is fixed on the support column and can move. The motor drives the connecting rod to push up or pull down at the end of the cross bar to change the tilt angle of the cross bar.

[0005] The other is that one end of the cross bar is fixed on the support column and can move. The motor drives the connecting rod to push up or pull down at the other end of the cross bar to change the tilt angle of the cross bar.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , an analog electronic PID balance ball bar, including a bearing 1 of a T-shaped integrated crossbar. The bearing 1 is connected to a support plate 5. A disc 3 coaxial with the motor is arranged on the support plate 5. When the disc 3 rotates, the protruding cylinder 4 on the disc 3 will slide in the sliding groove 2. The sliding groove 2 is arranged at the middle bottom of the T-shaped part of the T-shaped integrated crossbar. When the protruding cylinder 4 slides, it squeezes the sliding groove 2 of the T-shaped integrated crossbar, causing the T-shaped integrated crossbar to tilt and operate, controlling the left and right movement of the small ball under the action of gravity. The small ball is a conductive small ball.

[0026] Therefore, when the motor drives the disc 3 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the protruding cylinder 4 will move left and right. The cylinder slides in the sliding groove 2, driving the T-shaped integrated crossbar to tilt and operate. The tilting movement of the bar can control the left and right movement of the small ball under the action of gravity.

[0027] In this embodiment: Please refer to Figure 2, The T-shaped integrated crossbar and the small ball form a sliding potentiometer. The side of the T-shaped integrated crossbar is a V-shaped structure. Conductive plastic strips 6 are arranged on the two inner sides of the V-shaped structure (one side is low voltage and the other side is high voltage). The voltage is evenly distributed on the conductive plastic strip 6. The small ball contacts the conductive plastic strip 6 and transmits the voltage at the contact point.

[0028] The small ball transmits the voltage at the contact point, and the position of the small ball is converted into a corresponding voltage signal, so that the T-shaped integrated crossbar and the small ball form a sliding potentiometer.

[0029] In this embodiment: Please refer to Figure 3 , The potentiometer is connected to the reduction gearbox, and the reduction gearbox is connected to the motor.

[0030] The motor passes through the reduction gearbox. The reduction gearbox is equipped with a coaxial potentiometer. One end of the potentiometer is connected to GND and the other end is connected to 5V. Then, one rotation corresponds to 0 - 5V. The rotation angle is converted into voltage. When the crossbar is horizontal, the moving end of the potentiometer is in the middle, corresponding to 2.5V.

[0031] In this embodiment: Please refer to Figure 4 , The analog electronic PID balance ball bar further includes a loop parallel control circuit. The loop parallel control circuit includes a first PID loop and a second PID loop. The positive input terminal of the first PID loop accesses the control voltage of the user. The negative terminal of the first PID loop is connected to the feedback voltage of the potentiometer. The output terminal of the first PID loop is connected to one input terminal of the summing unit. The output terminal of the summing unit drives the motor. The feedback voltage of the motor rotation angle is connected to the negative input terminal of the second PID loop. The positive input terminal of the second PID loop accesses a 2.5V voltage. The output terminal of the second PID loop is connected to the other input terminal of the summing unit.

[0032] In the teaching laboratory, students only need to adjust the control voltage of the user, change the rotation condition of the motor, change the position of the T-shaped integrated crossbar and the small ball, and obtain different voltage values of the feedback position of the bar, so as to make the movement of the crossbar stable and the small ball can quickly stop at the set position.

[0033] In this embodiment: Please refer to Figure 5 , The analog electronic PID balance ball bar further includes a loop series control circuit. The loop series control circuit includes a first PID loop and a second PID loop. The positive input terminal of the first PID loop accesses the control voltage of the user. The negative terminal of the first PID loop is connected to the feedback voltage of the potentiometer. The output terminal of the first PID loop is connected to one end of the first resistor. The other end of the first resistor is connected to one end of the second resistor and the positive input terminal of the second PID loop. The other end of the second resistor is connected to a 5V voltage. The output terminal of the second PID loop is connected to one input terminal of the summing unit. The output terminal of the summing unit drives the motor. The feedback voltage of the motor rotation angle is connected to the negative input terminal of the second PID loop.

[0034] The loop series control circuit and the loop parallel control circuit have similar structures and the same functions. The summing unit (the teaching syllabus of the adder circuit structure exists, and it can also be searched and queried online) is a common unit, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 6 , the analog circuit PID uses 5 analog circuit units. They are all required in the teaching syllabus. Connect these unit circuits as Figure 6 shown to form a PID operation. The subtractor, inverting proportion, integrator, differentiator, and inverting summing circuit structures are all circuits mentioned in the teaching syllabus and are common circuit structures. In addition, relevant circuit structures can also be searched online. They are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: The student adjusts the control voltage of the user, changes the output voltage conditions of the first PID loop and the second PID loop, and finally changes the rotation state of the motor. When the motor drives the disc 3 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the protruding cylinder 4 will move left and right. The cylinder slides in the sliding groove 2, driving the T-shaped integrated crossbar to tilt. The tilting movement of the rod can control the left and right movement of the small ball under the action of gravity, so that the potentiometer formed by the T-shaped integrated crossbar and the small ball feedbacks different voltages. Based on the control voltage of the user, the small ball can finally stop quickly at the set position.

[0037] The first of the existing technologies is that the cost of the numerical control cabinet of the device is high, which is not convenient for the entire laboratory to carry out. The second is that it needs to be carried out after the students complete the programming course, which is not convenient for freshmen and sophomores. The third is that it is not convenient to observe the intermediate process signals. The digital signals need to be programmed and stored, and then the waveforms are drawn. The fourth is that the mechanical structure is complex, there are many movable joints, the cost is high and it is not easy to maintain.

[0038] The present utility model can be carried out after freshmen finish learning the basic analog electronics course; the control device has a low cost, is pure analog electronics and does not require programming; the mechanical device has a simple structure, is easy to maintain and has a low cost.

[0039] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

[0040] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
