Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The existing push rod limit control is mainly divided into two kinds, one is to realize limit by electronic mode, and the other is to realize limit by mechanical structure mode. The mechanical limit mode is to increase limit support and mechanical switch in the push rod, and the motor stops once reaching limit and touching mechanical switch. The advantage of this method is that the control can be external, and the electronic control is relatively simple. However, the switch of mechanical limit generally needs to pass motor current. And the existing push rod is mainly direct current motor, so especially in the occasion of low-voltage power supply (such as 12V), the current is often large, which is easy to cause the adhesion of switch contact, and finally the motor cannot be controlled to run. At the same time, the mechanical switch and the mechanical limit support are often large in size, and it is difficult to meet the demand by mechanical limit mode when the mechanical structure is compact and there is not much internal space.

[0003] The electronic limit mode is to install magnetic steel / magnetic ring at motor, and use hall to detect the magnetic steel / magnetic ring signal at motor, so the control board is generally built-in. However, the built-in control board will lead to the overall structure being not simple enough, and it is difficult to realize in some occasions, such as space-limited occasions.
