TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a controller, concretely relates to a brushless DC motor intelligent controller. BACKGROUND

[0002] The output rotation of a motor serves as a widely used power source and plays a crucial role in various mechanical devices and systems. In order to make more effective use of this power source, accurate control of the motor is particularly important. Generally, through a controller, the rotation direction and speed of the motor can be adjusted to meet different power requirements and improve the operating efficiency and performance of the equipment.

[0003] However, traditional motor controllers are relatively single in control mode, mostly using single point operation mode. Although this control mode can achieve the start-stop and simple speed regulation of the motor to some extent, it is limited in control when facing complex and variable power control requirements of the execution equipment. Specifically, the single point operation mode lacks sufficient flexibility and accuracy, making it difficult to achieve fine control of the motor rotation, thereby limiting the potential of the motor in more application scenarios. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a brushless DC motor intelligent controller, which can control the motor to point, self-lock, delay and delay with emergency stop control. The controller can control the DC brushless motor DC12V / 24V, the maximum power is 120W, and the maximum load is 10A. The speed regulation mode uses PWM signal to control the motor speed, and collects the motor speed feedback square wave signal with a maximum frequency of 200Hz, and uses PID closed loop control to accurately stabilize the motor speed at the set target speed,

[0005] Specifically, a brushless DC motor intelligent controller includes a control module, which includes a single-chip microcomputer control unit, a signal acquisition unit connected to the signal input end of the single-chip microcomputer control unit, and a signal output unit connected to the signal output end of the single-chip microcomputer control unit,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0034] In this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0035] As mentioned in the background, however, traditional motor controllers have a relatively simple control approach, often operating in a single-moment mode. While this control mode can achieve motor start / stop and simple speed regulation to a certain extent, it is limited when faced with the complex and ever-changing power control requirements of actuators. Specifically, the single-moment mode lacks sufficient flexibility and precision, making it difficult to achieve fine-grained control of motor rotation, thus limiting the potential of motors in a wider range of application scenarios.

[0036] Based on the above reasons, this embodiment provides a brushless DC motor intelligent controller, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the brushless DC motor intelligent controller includes a control module, which includes a single-chip control unit 101. The signal input end of the single-chip control unit is connected to a signal acquisition unit 102, and the signal output end of the single-chip control unit is connected to a signal output unit 105.

[0037] The signal acquisition unit is used to collect control signals and motor speed feedback square wave signals;

[0038] The signal output unit is used to input the control signal of the single chip control unit to the execution motor;

[0039] The signal acquisition unit includes a local control signal acquisition subunit and a remote control signal acquisition subunit.

[0040] For example, the single-chip microcomputer control unit adopts an STM32F103RCT6 single-chip microcomputer; the parameters of the controller are shown in Table 1:

[0041] Table 1: Controller parameters

[0042]

[0043] The above technical features can control a DC12V / 24V brushless DC motor with a maximum power of 120W and a maximum load of 10A. The controller uses a PWM signal to control the motor speed and collects the motor speed feedback square wave signal with a maximum frequency of 200Hz. It uses a PID closed-loop control to accurately stabilize the motor speed at the set target speed. The speed setting supports both local control and remote control. Local control uses the operation panel buttons to adjust the speed; remote control uses an external analog value of 1~10V to adjust the speed. The controller can realize various motor functions such as forward and reverse rotation, reciprocating cycle, limit, delay, speed regulation, and emergency stop.

[0044] In one embodiment, the signal acquisition unit further includes several single signal interfaces, such as Figure 5 As shown, it has four signal interfaces: IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4. When controlling the motor, in order to realize the control modes of jog, self-locking, delay control and delay with emergency stop, the control can be as follows:

[0045] Jog mode

[0046] When signal IN1 is given, the motor rotates forward, and when signal IN1 is disconnected, the motor stops.

[0047] When signal IN2 is given, the motor reverses, and when signal IN2 is disconnected, the motor stops.

[0048] When signal IN3 is given, the motor stops at the forward limit position, and when signal IN4 is given, the motor stops at the reverse limit position.

[0049] Self-locking mode

[0050] When signal IN1 is given, the motor continues to rotate forward, and when signal IN1 is given again, the motor stops.

[0051] When signal IN2 is given, the motor continues to reverse, and when signal IN2 is given again, the motor stops.

[0052] When signal IN3 is given, the motor stops at the forward limit position, and when signal IN4 is given, the motor stops at the reverse limit position.

[0053] Delay control mode

[0054] When signal IN1 is given, the motor will rotate forward for A seconds (set parameters) and then stop.

[0055] Give signal IN2, the motor will reverse for B seconds (set parameters) and then stop.

[0056] When signal IN3 is given, the motor stops at the forward limit position, and when signal IN4 is given, the motor stops at the reverse limit position.

[0057] Extension belt emergency stop control mode

[0058] When signal IN1 is given, the motor will rotate forward for A seconds (set parameters) and then stop when it encounters the forward limit signal IN3.

[0059] Give signal IN1 again, the motor will reverse for B seconds (set parameters) and then stop when it encounters reverse limit signal IN4.

[0060] Give signal IN2 to stop the motor urgently.

[0061] The above four modes can each be set individually with the following 8 groups of parameters:

[0062] (1) SA: soft start time, 0-100 seconds;

[0063] (2) SP: soft stop time, 0-100 seconds;

[0064] (3) PF: forward speed, 1-999 rpm;

[0065] (4) OP: reverse speed, 1-999 rpm;

[0066] (5) CD: Current alarm delay time, 0.01s-9.99s;

[0067] (6) CF: Forward current alarm value, 0.01A-9.99A;

[0068] (7) CE: Reverse current alarm value, 0.01A-9.99A;

[0069] (8) DE: Mode working time, 1 second to 999 minutes, 0 means unlimited time;

[0070] In order to protect the motor, in one embodiment, the brushless DC motor intelligent controller further includes a protection module 103 and an alarm module 104 for obtaining motor undervoltage and stalled rotor overcurrent signals. The protection module can provide undervoltage and stalled rotor overcurrent protection functions for the motor. Figure 3 The circuit shown in the figure uses the Hall sensor CI5930-20A to monitor current, overcurrent and overload monitoring and protection

[0071] In order to achieve the protection of the control module and the installation of the entire controller, such as Figures 6-10 As shown, in one embodiment, it further includes a base 201 and a shell 202 mounted on the base, and the control module is mounted on the base and located in the shell;

[0072] A button 203 connected to the control module is provided on the housing.

[0073] The base has a mounting slot, with a locking plate 204 on one side. The base also has a locking slot located on one side of the mounting slot, into which the locking plate is slidably mounted. One end of the locking plate 204 is a flat locking tongue, on which a locking claw 2042 is disposed. A track 205 is mounted on the locking slot, and when the locking plate is locked, the locking tongue presses against the track. The end of the locking tongue has an engaging area 2041 that mates with an edge 2051 of the track. Preferably, the track is a 35mm DIN track.

[0074] The above technical features can realize the protection of the control module and the quick installation of the controller; during installation, the lock slot is engaged with the track, and then the lock plate is pushed in so that the lock tongue of the lock plate is pressed against the track; during this process, the locking claw is pressed against the bottom surface of the base, increasing the friction of the lock plate and reducing the risk of the lock tongue being separated from the edge of the track due to the retraction of the lock plate.

[0075] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
