Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial automation control, and particularly relates to a button jog self-locking circuit. Background Art

[0002] In an industrial automation control system, the safety control of a motor is crucial. To prevent accidents during equipment operation, an emergency stop button is usually required to quickly cut off the power supply of the motor to achieve emergency stop. The traditional method is to directly cut off the power supply of the motor driver. Although this method can quickly stop the motor operation, the motor needs to be powered on again after each emergency stop to resume operation, which not only increases the workload of the operator but also reduces the user experience.

[0003] In addition, in some special application scenarios, such as safety devices like anti-collision strips, a jog emergency stop operation needs to be achieved. Jog emergency stop means that when a danger occurs, the emergency stop is triggered by briefly pressing a button, and this state is not maintained when there is no danger. However, the traditional self-locking button does not meet this requirement, and it will maintain the self-locking state after being pressed until manually released. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a new self-locking circuit. This circuit can transmit a signal to a driving member during an emergency stop.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] See also Figure 1 A button-activated self-locking circuit comprises a power supply terminal 10, an anti-collision strip group 20, a first switch component 30, a second switch component 40, and an emergency stop input terminal 50 connected in sequence; the anti-collision strip group 20 is used to be turned on when a danger occurs so that the power supply terminal 10 is turned on with the first switch component 30, so that the first switch component 30 is turned on; the second switch component 40 is used to be turned on when the first switch component is turned on, so as to turn on the power supply terminal with the emergency stop input terminal, and the high level of the power supply terminal is transmitted from the emergency stop input terminal to the device driver to realize the emergency stop of the equipment. In order to facilitate understanding and expression, the device in the following text is specifically taken as an example of a motor.

[0028] The power supply terminal 10 is connected to the second switch component 40, and the output end of the second switch component 40 is connected to the input end of the first switch component 30. When the second switch component 40 is turned on, the power supply terminal 10 is turned on to the input end of the first switch component 30, so that the first switch component 30 is continuously turned on, and then the second switch component is continuously turned on, and the motor drive component continuously receives the emergency stop signal, so that the motor enters a self-locking state.

[0029] It also includes a release component 60 connected to the input end of the first switch component 30. The release component 60 is used to control the first switch component 30 to be cut off when the self-locking state needs to be released, so that the second switch component 40 is cut off, thereby disconnecting the power supply terminal 10 and the emergency stop input terminal 50, and the motor drive component releases the emergency stop of the motor.

[0030] For details, see Figure 2 The first switch assembly 30 includes a first switch tube. The first switch tube of this embodiment is an NPN transistor Q1. The base of the NPN transistor Q1 is connected to the end of the anti-collision strip group 20 away from the power supply terminal 10. The emitter of the NPN transistor Q1 is grounded GND, and the collector is connected to the second switch assembly 40. When the anti-collision strip group 20 is turned on, the power supply terminal 10 provides a high level to the base of the transistor Q1, and the NPN transistor Q1 is turned on.

[0031] The second switch component 40 includes a second switch tube. In this embodiment, the first switch tube is a PMOS transistor Q2. The gate of the PMOS transistor Q2 is connected to the collector of the NPN transistor Q1. The source of the PMOS transistor Q2 is connected to the power supply terminal 10. The drain of the PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the emergency stop input terminal 50. When the NPN transistor Q1 is turned on, the NPN transistor Q1 inputs a high level to the gate of the PMOS transistor Q2, causing the PMOS transistor Q2 to turn on. As a result, the power supply terminal 10 is connected to the emergency stop input terminal 50, and the emergency stop input terminal 50 inputs the high level of the power supply terminal to the motor driving component. After receiving the high level from the emergency stop input terminal 50, the motor driving component drives the motor to stop urgently. At the same time, a resistor R1 is connected between the drain of the PMOS transistor Q2 and the base of the NPN transistor Q1. That is, when the PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on, the power supply terminal 10 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor Q1, so that the base of the NPN transistor Q1 continuously receives a high level and remains turned on, the PMOS transistor Q2 remains turned on, and the motor driving component drives the motor to enter a self-locking state of continuous stop.

[0032] The second switch component 40 further includes a zener diode D1 and a second resistor R2 that are respectively connected in parallel between the drain and the gate of the PMOS transistor Q2. The zener diode D1 is used to clamp and protect the Vgs of the PMOS transistor Q2.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 2 , the release component 60 includes a triode Q4 and an optocoupler U2. The base of the triode Q4 is connected to the main control board or the release button. The main control board or the release button is used to transmit a level signal to the base of the triode Q4 to control the cut-off or conduction of the triode Q. In this embodiment, the triode Q4 is an NPN type triode. When a high level is input to the base of the triode Q4, the triode Q4 is turned on. The emitter of the triode Q4 is grounded, and the collector is connected to the light-emitting source of the optocoupler U2. The light-emitting source of the optocoupler U2 is connected to the 5V power supply. Thus, when the triode Q4 is turned on, the optocoupler U2 is also turned on and conducts.

[0034] Specifically, the anode terminal of the light-emitting source of the optocoupler U2 is connected to the 5V power supply, and the cathode terminal is connected to the collector of the triode Q4. One end of the light-receiving device of the optocoupler U2 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the base of the triode Q1. When the main control board or the release button inputs a high level to the base of the triode Q4 to control the triode Q4 and the optocoupler U2 to conduct, the light-receiving device of the optocoupler U2 is turned on, so that the base of the triode Q1 is connected to the ground, and the triode Q1 is turned off.

[0035] It can be understood that the base of the triode Q4 is continuously set low under normal conditions, so that the optocoupler U2 is cut off, thereby ensuring that the conduction of the triode Q1 is only controlled by the anti-collision strip group 20, and then accurately judging whether the motor operation encounters a dangerous situation. When it is necessary to release the self-locking state, a short-time high level, such as a high level of 1.5S, is sent to the base of the triode Q4. It can be that the main controller sends a high level of 1.5S to the base of the triode Q4, or it can be pressing the button for 1.5S, so that the high level is conducted with the base of the triode Q4, and then the button is released, the button resets, and the base of the triode Q4 is set low.

[0036] The self-locking circuit of this embodiment further includes a transmission component 70 connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor Q2, which is used to transmit the emergency stop signal to the main controller (not shown). The transmission component 70 includes an optocoupler U1. The anode of the light-emitting source of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the drain of the MOS transistor Q2, and the cathode is grounded; one end of the light-receiving device of the optocoupler U1 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the main controller; a 3.3V power supply is also connected between the light-receiving device and the main controller through a pull-up resistor R6. When entering the emergency stop, the PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on, the power supply terminal 10 is connected to the light-emitting source of the optocoupler U1, the optocoupler U1 is turned on, and the potential of the end of the resistor R6 far from the 3.3V power supply is pulled low, thereby transmitting a low-level signal to the main controller. When working normally, the optocoupler U1 is cut off, and a high-level signal is transmitted to the main controller.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] The basic principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the emergency stop input terminal 50 is low-level effective. Therefore, a signal conversion component 80 is also provided between the emergency stop input terminal 50 and the second switch component 40.

[0039] Refer to Figure 3 , the signal conversion component 80 includes a triode Q3. The base of the triode Q3 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor Q2. The emitter of the triode Q3 is grounded, and the collector is connected to the emergency stop input terminal 50. When entering the emergency stop, the base of the triode Q3 receives a high level and is turned on, so that the emergency stop input terminal 50 is conducted with the ground, and the emergency stop input terminal 50 inputs a low level to the motor driving part.
