Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a brake energy-saving device. Background Art

[0002] A brake, also known as a power-off brake, works on the principle of electromagnetism. When the coil is energized, it generates magnetic force to attract the corresponding structural components to release the brake.

Currently in the market, the power supply control of the motor brake coil uses simple on-off methods such as relays or MOS to control the on-off of the coil to achieve the opening and closing control of the brake. During normal operation, the brake coil needs to have current all the time so that the relevant structure can maintain the attracted state. Since a simple switch cannot adjust the current, it will inevitably lead to the situation that when a large current is not needed, the coil is still in the large current state, resulting in low energy efficiency of the whole machine, increased power consumption, increased heat generation, and affecting the life of the brake, and further affecting the equipment safety.

A large current required for the start of the brake coil is provided in the start-up stage, and a small current for maintaining the attraction of the brake coil is provided in the operation stage, thus realizing the energy-saving control of the brake coil.

[0025] As Figure 2As shown, in the embodiments of the present application, the PWM pulse width limiting module includes: capacitor C163 and resistor R237. The MCU module is grounded through capacitor C163 and resistor R237 in sequence, and the midpoint of capacitor C163 and resistor R237 is connected to the MOSFET driving module. Capacitor C163 and resistor R237 form a pulse width limiting circuit, which limits the maximum pulse width at the hardware level to avoid the current of the brake coil exceeding the standard for a long time caused by misoperation.

[0026] In the embodiments of the present application, the PWM pulse width limiting module further includes a shaping circuit. In the embodiments of the present application, the shaping circuit includes comparator U38, capacitor C162 and resistor R54, which shapes the signal of the pulse width limiting part into a standard square wave.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, the MOSFET driving module includes: driving chip U26, capacitor C184, resistor R182 and resistor R196. U26 is a MOSFET gate driving chip for driving MOSFET Q11.

[0028] The 3 port of driving chip U26 is connected to resistor R54, the 2 and 4 ports of driving chip U26 are grounded, the 1 port of driving chip U26 is grounded through capacitor C184, the 5 port of driving chip U26 is grounded through resistor R182 and resistor R196, and the midpoint of resistor R182 and resistor R196 is connected to the MOSFET.

[0035] It can be understood that even for the same brake, its preferred working current is different in different environments, and correspondingly, the PWM signal output by the MCU module also changes accordingly. Therefore, even if the parameters are set through the parameter setting module. However, these parameters are generally set for normal temperature conditions. When the temperature is extremely cold or high, it is preferably possible to make corresponding corrections to the set parameters so that the brake works in a better state. In this application, the ambient temperature is detected by the temperature detection module. The temperature range is set with multiple range intervals, and different temperature ranges correspond to different correction values. When the detected temperature is in the corresponding temperature interval, the MCU module makes adaptive parameter revisions.
