Description

This not only increases maintenance costs but also delays project timelines. Existing magnetic drills lack effective load detection and speed adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to balance efficiency and equipment protection. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The present application will now describe a magnetic drill with fully automatic feed speed control according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0036] The magnetic drill with fully automatic feed speed control includes: an electromagnetic adsorption base 1, a fixing frame 2, a sliding mechanism 5, a drilling motor 3, and an automatic feed mechanism 4.
[0037] Specifically, the electromagnetic adsorption base 1 includes a base on which an electromagnet is mounted. The electromagnet is connected to a power source and a control switch via a control circuit. When the control circuit is powered on, current flows through the coil of the electromagnet, generating a magnetic field that magnetizes the iron core, thus producing a magnetic force. This magnetic force is sufficient to adsorb metal objects onto the surface of the workpiece, such as iron plates, low-carbon steel (e.g., Q235, A3 steel), and soft magnetic alloy steel. When the control circuit is powered off, the coil of the electromagnet loses current, the magnetic field disappears, and the magnetism of the iron core also disappears. At this time, the electromagnetic adsorption base 1 will release the adsorbed metal object. The electromagnetic adsorption base 1 is used to fix the workpiece surface.
[0038] The fixing frame 2 is bolted to the electromagnetic adsorption base 1. The fixing frame 2 is bolted to two guide members 201, each with a guide groove 202 extending along its length, with the openings of the two guide grooves facing each other. The sliding mechanism 5 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 2. Specifically, the sliding mechanism 5 includes: a sliding member 501, which has a first engaging portion 502 and a second engaging portion 503, slidably connected to the guide grooves 202; and a rack 504, which is bolted to the sliding member 501. The drilling motor 3 is bolted to the sliding member 501. A drill bit is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drilling motor 3. The drilling motor 3, the drill bit, and their connection relationships are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The mounting bracket 2 is also equipped with a handle 6 to facilitate the operator in carrying the magnetic drill.
[0039] An automatic feed mechanism 4 is connected to the fixed frame 2 and is connected to the sliding mechanism 5. The automatic feed mechanism 4 dynamically adjusts the feed speed by detecting the real-time load current of the drilling motor 3.
[0040] Specifically, the automatic feed mechanism 4 includes: a stepper motor 401, which is mounted on the fixed frame 2. A drive shaft 402 is connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 401 via a coupling. The drive shaft 402 has a threaded structure. The stepper motor 401 is electrically connected to a stepper motor driver chip, which is mounted on the main control board. The stepper motor driver chip receives current control signals from the control system (usually the main control board) and converts these current signals into signals that can drive the feed mechanism. The signal that drives the stepper motor 401 is used to control the speed of the stepper motor 401, thereby controlling the feed speed; the lifting shaft 403 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2 via bearings, and a lifting gear 404 is mounted on the lifting shaft 403 via a key, the lifting gear 404 meshing with the threaded structure; the drive gear 405 is mounted on the lifting shaft 403 via a key, and the drive gear 405 meshing with the rack 504; a spare lifting handle 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting shaft 403.
[0041] The stepper motor driver chip is a DRV8434S chip (U1). During installation, the DRV8434S chip (U1) is usually fixed on the main control board circuit board by means of socket or soldering, and together with other components (such as resistors, capacitors, connectors) it forms a complete motor drive circuit.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 The following is a detailed introduction to the circuit of the DRV8434S chip (U1):
[0043] Power supply capacitors: C1 (470uF / 35V), C33 (10uF / 35V), C34 (10uF / 35V), C35 (10uF / 35V), C2 (220nF): These capacitors are connected between the +24V power supply and ground for power filtering, ensuring a stable voltage input to the DRV8434S chip. C6 (10nF): This capacitor is also connected between the +24V power supply and ground, close to the DRV8434S chip, for power filtering. C4 (22nF), C3 (100nF): These capacitors are used for filtering the 3.3V power supply, ensuring a stable digital power supply for the chip. C7 (470nF): This capacitor is used for further filtering of the 3.3V power supply. Connector (J1): This is a 4-pin connector for external signal input, including step and direction signals (STEP, DIR), and serial communication signals (SDI, SCLK). DRV8434S Chip (U1): This is the core driver chip responsible for controlling the motor. It connects to external components through multiple pins: VM and PGND: connect to the motor power supply and ground. VCP: connect to the +24V power supply, powering the high-voltage section inside the chip. AOUT1, AOUT2, BOUT1, BOUT2: output pins, connecting to the stepper motor 401 windings to provide drive signals. nSLEEP, ENBLE: control pins used to enable and disable the chip. STEP, DIR: step and direction control pins, connecting to the main control board. SDI, SCLK, SDO, NSCS: serial communication pins used to configure and read the chip status. nFAULT, DVDD: fault indication pins and chip digital power supply pins. Resistors: R1, R2: these resistors may be used for pull-up or pull-down to ensure the stability of the control signals. R7 (10K), R9: these resistors are used for voltage division or pull-up to ensure that the chip pins have a defined level in the default state. The overall function of this circuit is to provide drive signals for the stepper motor 401. The DRV8434S chip receives current signals from the main control board and generates corresponding drive signals, which drive the stepper motor 401 through output pins (AOUT1, AOUT2, BOUT1, BOUT2). Power supply filter capacitors ensure stable input voltage and reduce the impact of power supply noise on the drive signals. Serial communication pins allow external controllers to configure chip parameters and read fault status.
[0044] When the load current of the drilling motor 3 increases to a preset threshold (8A), the stepper motor 401 automatically slows down its feed speed to protect the drilling motor 3 from overload shutdown and extend the life of the drill bit. Specifically, the circuit detects this change when the load current of the drilling motor 3 increases due to a hard workpiece or a dull drill bit. When the load current increases to 8A, one input terminal of the automatic drilling machine feed protection control circuit (marked as STEP, which is mainly used to detect the current of the drilling motor 3) sends a detection signal to the stepper motor driver chip. The stepper motor driver chip transmits signals to the stepper motor 401 through the stepper motor 401 terminal J1 and its output interfaces (AOUT1, AOUT2, BOUT2, BOUT1), slowing it down to 60% of the normal feed speed, thereby regulating and controlling the feed speed of the stepper motor 401. After the load returns to normal, the system automatically restores the original feed speed, achieving dynamic protection.
[0045] Principle: In use, the device is first fixed to the target workpiece via the electromagnetic adsorption base 1. Then, the drilling motor 3 and the stepper motor 401 are started. The stepper motor 401 drives the lifting gear 404 to rotate via the drive shaft 402, thereby driving the lifting shaft 403 fixed to the lifting gear 404 and the drive gear 405 fixedly connected to the lifting shaft 403 to rotate. Since the drive gear 405 meshes with the rack 504 and the rack 504 is fixed to the sliding member 501, the sliding member 501 slides along the guide groove 202, thereby allowing the drilling motor 3 fixed to the sliding member 501 to drill into the target workpiece. When the drill bit encounters a hard workpiece or the drill bit is not sharp, the drilling motor 3 can drill into the target workpiece. When the load current of the drilling motor 3 increases to a preset threshold (8A), the stepper motor driver chip circuit will detect this change. One input terminal of the stepper motor driver chip (marked as STEP, STEP is mainly used to detect the current of the drilling motor 3) will send a detection signal to the stepper motor driver chip. The stepper motor driver chip transmits signals to the stepper motor 401 through the stepper motor 401 terminal J1 and its output interfaces (AOUT1, AOUT2, BOUT2, BOUT1), causing it to slow down to 60% of the normal feed speed. After the load returns to normal, the system automatically restores the original feed speed, realizing dynamic protection.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
