[0027] It should be noted that both the first and second signal input terminals are calculated by software to output PWM waves, and the final output signal has a dithering frequency of 50Hz sine wave and a basic PWM frequency of 1kHz.
[0028] In the above embodiment, the first output circuit includes an inductor L18 and a diode D28. The drain of the MOSFET Q5 is electrically connected to the anode of the diode D28 through the inductor L18, and the cathode of the diode D28 serves as the first signal output terminal.

The common terminal of resistors R69 and R70 is electrically connected to the acquisition terminal, and the common terminal of resistors R67 and R68 is also electrically connected to the acquisition terminal.
[0035] It should be noted that, through functional analysis of the valve body, a chatter control mode is introduced for valve body control. This involves periodically varying the current magnitude of the valve core near a given current, causing the valve core to vibrate at a certain frequency. When the valve core is in chatter mode, its mechanical friction is in dynamic friction mode, which simultaneously overcomes the valve body's hysteresis effect. When the control current changes, it can react very quickly and has a certain degree of control accuracy.
[0036] Working principle: +24V is filtered by inductor L12 and then applied to the source of MOSFET Q5. Under the control of the signal input at the first signal input terminal, MOSFET Q5 intermittently turns on and off, outputting a 24V voltage. This voltage is then filtered by inductor L18 and rectified by diode D28, finally supplying 24V to the proportional valve. When MOSFET Q5 is on and off, the proportional valve core coil generates a large back electromotive force (EMF). This back EMF can affect MOSFET Q5 and, in severe cases, may break it down. Diode D30, inductor L20, and resistor R69 provide a freewheeling path to dissipate the back EMF, thus protecting the valve. The MOSFET, capacitor C74, and resistor R70 form an RC snubber circuit, which is connected in parallel across the proportional valve core. When power is off, a surge pulse is generated momentarily when the coil is released. This surge pulse can interfere with sensitive devices such as the MOSFET, causing malfunctions. Therefore, an RC snubber circuit is used to absorb the surge pulse. Resistor R66 is a sampling resistor that samples the current of the proportional valve, converts it into voltage, and feeds the sampled voltage back to the CPU to control the duty cycle of the output PWM wave and adjust the output of the proportional valve. Capacitor C76 filters the sampled voltage to absorb voltage glitches, and transient suppression diode D34 protects the sampled voltage by absorbing any transient high voltages that may occur.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
