Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a push rod position control circuit of direct current push rod motor, especially a direct current push rod limit position control circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] The limit position control principle of the direct current push rod motor under the prior art is as follows: when the motor reaches the limit position, the travel switch is used to control the rotation or stop of the motor. When the motor reaches the front limit position, the front travel switch acts to cut off the forward rotation current of the motor. When the motor reaches the rear limit position, the rear travel switch acts to cut off the reverse rotation current of the motor. If the travel switch is used to control the direct current push rod, the travel is fixed, and the control is not flexible enough. If a Hall sensor is added on the basis of the travel switch to perform positioning, the system complexity will be increased. The long-term operation failure rate of the travel switch is high, and the switch is prone to failure, thereby causing the machine to be locked.
[0003] Other schemes in the prior art, for example, use a Hall element to detect the motor speed, and if the detected speed is 0, it is considered that the motor has reached the limit position. Although this method does not use a travel switch, it cannot distinguish between the true limit position and the ordinary stall.
[0004] Other schemes in the prior art, for example, judge whether the motor is stalled by detecting the size of the current, and then judge whether the motor position reaches the limit. Although this method does not use a travel switch, its application scenario is limited, and it is only suitable for fixed load occasions, and it cannot distinguish between the true limit position and the ordinary stall.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , the driving motor of the DC push rod motor drives the push rod to move forward or backward through the first output shaft of the reduction gearbox, the rotating linear conversion mechanism (for example, a screw pair), and the input rotating shaft of the multi-turn resistor R1 connected to the second output shaft of the reduction gearbox through the gear transmission mechanism, and the input rotating shaft of the multi-turn resistor R1 rotates in linkage when the second output shaft of the reduction gearbox rotates driven by the driving motor, and the voltage across the multi-turn resistor R1 is obtained as the push rod position signal. The rotating linear conversion mechanism can adopt a conventional screw nut, etc. The output shaft of the driving motor rotates the input shaft of the reduction gearbox through gear transmission, and the first output shaft and the second output shaft of the reduction gearbox rotate in linkage through multiple sets of gear transmission, and the push rod moves forward or backward through the rotating linear conversion mechanism when the first output shaft of the reduction gearbox rotates. The input rotating shaft of the multi-turn resistor R1 rotates in linkage when the second output shaft of the reduction gearbox rotates, and the output resistance value of the multi-turn resistor R1 changes accordingly, and the voltage of the multi-turn resistor R1 changes accordingly, so the number of rotations of the output shaft of the driving motor can be obtained by obtaining the voltage of the multi-turn resistor R1, and the position of the push rod moving forward or backward is reflected, and thus the voltage across the multi-turn resistor R1 is obtained as the push rod position signal.
