Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, any person skilled in the art can make further modifications without creative efforts, and all the modifications belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0030] REFERENCE Figure 1 An embodiment provided by the utility model: an electromagnet driving and protection circuit for ATS, comprising: a charging voltage stabilizing circuit composed of freewheeling diode one 20, energy storage capacitor 15, voltage stabilizing diode 22 and high-voltage resistor one 2, high-voltage resistor two 3, high-voltage resistor three 4, high-voltage resistor four 5, high-voltage resistor five 6, high-voltage resistor six 7, high-voltage resistor seven 8 and high-voltage resistor eight 9, used for charging the energy storage capacitor 15 and stabilizing the output voltage;This ensures that the electromagnet can obtain constant driving voltage when running, thereby improving the action stability and reliability.

[0031] The protection circuit is composed of regulating resistor 11, regulating resistor 12, voltage protection capacitor 16 and circuit diode 24, which is used to prevent the breakdown of electronic devices caused by sharp voltage. This effectively reduces the loss of IGBT, prolongs the service life of the circuit and enhances the anti-interference ability.

[0032] The drive circuit is composed of gate driver 1, primary control resistor 10, conversion resistor 13, conversion resistor 14, coupling capacitor 17, insulated gate bipolar transistor 18 and transistor 19, which is used to control the start-stop action of electromagnet. By optimizing the gate drive signal, the response speed of electromagnet can be greatly improved to achieve precise control.

[0033] The freewheeling protection circuit includes freewheeling diode 20, freewheeling diode 23 and anti-inrush diode 21, which is used to release the energy stored in the electromagnet coil. This prevents damage caused by inductive current surge when IGBT is closed, further improving the safety of the drive circuit.

[0034] The charging voltage stabilizing circuit adjusts the charging time of energy storage capacitor 15 through the combination of several high-voltage resistors 2-9. This design can flexibly adjust the charging rate according to the needs to adapt to different application scenarios.

[0035] The protection circuit effectively suppresses the sharp voltage when IGBT is closed through the design of circuit diode 24 and regulating resistor 11, regulating resistor 12. This ensures the stability of the circuit under high-frequency operation and prevents the risk of electronic device breakdown caused by voltage transient.

[0036] The gate driver 1 is isolated from the primary control circuit by a photosensitive diode, which is used to prevent short circuit or misoperation caused by external vibration. This isolation measure improves the anti-interference ability of the system and ensures the reliability of long-time operation.

[0037] The freewheeling diode 20, freewheeling diode 23 and anti-inrush diode 21 in the freewheeling protection circuit work together to consume the residual energy in the electromagnet coil. This design avoids damage caused by reverse current when IGBT is closed, improving the safety margin of the circuit.

[0038] The drive circuit optimizes the switching speed of the gate driver 1 and IGBT by adjusting the parameters of the conversion resistor 13, conversion resistor 14 and coupling capacitor 17. This optimization significantly reduces energy loss and enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of electromagnet action.

[0039] The transistor 19 in the drive circuit controls the conduction and shutdown of the gate driver 1 through current signal control, realizing precise control of the electromagnet. This control mechanism improves the adaptability of the drive circuit to the load and meets the use requirements under different working conditions.

[0040] Working principle: First, the charging voltage stabilizing circuit is composed of freewheeling diode one 20, energy storage capacitor 15, voltage stabilizing diode 22, high voltage resistor one 2, high voltage resistor two 3, high voltage resistor three 4, high voltage resistor four 5, high voltage resistor five 6, high voltage resistor six 7, high voltage resistor seven 8 and high voltage resistor eight 9. This part adjusts the charging time of the energy storage capacitor 15 by adjusting the combination of high voltage resistors, thereby providing a continuous and stable driving voltage for the electromagnet. This stable voltage output ensures that the electromagnet operates reliably at high frequency, avoiding the impact of voltage fluctuations on system performance.

[0041] The protection circuit is composed of regulating resistor one 11, regulating resistor two 12, voltage protection capacitor 16 and circuit diode 24, and its main function is to suppress the damage of sharp peak voltage to IGBT. When IGBT is off, high amplitude sharp peak voltage may occur in the circuit, which can be significantly reduced by the protection circuit to absorb and disperse the voltage, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment and enhancing the overall stability of the circuit.

[0042] The driving circuit is composed of gate driver 1, primary control resistor 10, conversion resistor one 13, conversion resistor two 14, coupling capacitor 17, insulated gate bipolar transistor 18 and control triode 19, which is mainly used for start-stop control of the electromagnet. The gate driver 1 realizes isolation design with the primary control circuit through the photosensitive diode, effectively preventing short circuit and misoperation caused by external vibration. At the same time, by adjusting the parameters of conversion resistor one 13 and conversion resistor two 14 and coupling capacitor 17, the switching speed of the gate drive signal is optimized. Triode 19 further enhances the control accuracy of the drive signal, ensuring the response speed and accuracy of the electromagnet action.

[0043] The freewheeling protection circuit is composed of freewheeling diode one 20, freewheeling diode two 23 and anti-inrush diode 21, which is used to dissipate the excess energy stored in the electromagnet coil. When IGBT is off, the remaining current in the inductor is released through the freewheeling protection circuit, avoiding damage to IGBT caused by sudden current. This design greatly improves the safety and reliability of the circuit, ensuring the stable operation of the electromagnet in high-frequency switching.

[0044] Through the coordinated work of the charging voltage stabilizing, protection, driving and freewheeling protection circuits, this circuit can realize efficient and safe driving of the electromagnet, while meeting the needs of different working scenarios, providing technical support for the miniaturization and high performance of the system.
