Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the circuit structure of a filter for electromagnetic interference suppression in motor control, and belongs to the field of filter circuit technology. Background Technology

[0002] When a brushless motor starts up, the voltage overshoots and the magnetic field changes instantaneously, generating very strong current and electromagnetic fields, which can easily cause sparks. In addition, due to the insufficient precision between the rotor and stator of the brushless motor, weak contact or friction often occurs during operation due to rotational inertia and repeated switching of the magnetic field, which can also generate sparks. When the motor rotates at high speed, these sparks are conducted to the motor control system through the brushless motor power circuit, and coupled together with the interference generated by the switching of MOSFETs and diodes in the motor control system, and conducted out through the power interface of the motor control system, thereby interfering with the normal operation of other equipment.

[0003] Considering the operating characteristics of brushless motors and the transmission path of interference, for electromagnetic interference and its harmonic electromagnetic interference at rotational speeds of brushless motors as high as 20kHz-75kHz, a filter with high suppression capability needs to be installed before the power interface of the motor control system to suppress it, ensuring that it does not affect the normal operation of other equipment. The problem can be completely solved by using the filter to address the transmission path.

[0004] Typically, motor control system modules have limited space, and the space for installing filters is very limited. Only filters with a size of 51mm x 31mm or smaller can be installed. However, smaller filters often need to consider space utilization and circuit layout, and the suppression capability they can provide is poor. A single filter cannot solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a circuit structure for a filter used in motor control to resist electromagnetic interference, providing high suppression capability.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a circuit structure for a filter used for electromagnetic interference suppression in motor control, including differential-mode inductor L1, differential-mode inductor L2, common-mode inductor L3, and common-mode inductor L4. One input terminal of differential-mode inductor L1 and differential-mode inductor L2 is connected to the positive input terminal P and the negative input terminal N, respectively. The other end of differential-mode inductor L1 is connected to one input terminal of common-mode inductor L3 and one end of capacitor C1. The other end of differential-mode inductor L2 is connected to the other input terminal of common-mode inductor L3 and the other end of capacitor C1. The common-mode inductor L3... One end of the common mode inductor L3 is connected to one end of capacitors C2, C3, and C5 and one input end of common mode inductor L4. The other end of the common mode inductor L3 is connected to the other end of capacitors C2, C3, and C6 and the other input end of common mode inductor L4. The other ends of capacitors C5 and C6 are connected to the ground terminal. One output end of common mode inductor L4 is connected to one end of capacitor C4 and the positive output terminal P'. The other output end of common mode inductor L4 is connected to the other end of capacitor C4 and the positive output terminal N'.

[0007] Furthermore, the aforementioned common-mode inductors L3 and L4 are symmetrically arranged on the input and output sides of the circuit board.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the filter of this utility model adopts a three-stage LC circuit design, and realizes the connection logic between the common-mode inductors (L3, L4), differential-mode inductors (L1, L2), and capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6) through circuit board layout. A ground loop is formed by connecting the common-mode inductors L3 and L4 in series with C5 and C6, utilizing the high-impedance characteristics of the common-mode inductors and the high-pass characteristics of the capacitors to achieve common-mode suppression. An LC topology circuit is formed by L1 (L2) and C1 to achieve first-stage filtering of differential-mode interference. A π-type topology circuit is formed by the leakage inductance of the common-mode inductor L3 and C1 and C2 to further achieve second-stage filtering of differential-mode interference. Finally, a π-type topology circuit is formed by the leakage inductance of the common-mode inductor L4 and C3 and C4 to achieve a third-stage filtering of differential-mode interference. The entire circuit can suppress both common-mode and differential-mode interference on both the positive and negative lines. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Existing filter circuit structures, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first-stage circuit has an L-type topology and the second-stage circuit has a π-type topology, which cannot pass the electromagnetic compatibility test. This circuit structure is difficult to satisfy the suppression effect. In order to solve this problem, this application proposes the solution of Embodiment 1.

[0025] Example 1: As Figure 8 As shown, the circuit structure of a filter used for electromagnetic interference suppression in motor control is illustrated in the schematic diagram below. Figure 8 As shown and the specific layout are as follows Figure 9As shown, the specific structure includes differential-mode inductors L1, L2, L3, and L4. One input terminal of differential-mode inductors L1 and L2 is connected to the positive input terminal P and the negative input terminal N, respectively. The other end of differential-mode inductor L1 is connected to one input terminal of common-mode inductor L3 and one end of capacitor C1. The other end of differential-mode inductor L2 is connected to the other input terminal of common-mode inductor L3 and the other end of capacitor C1. One output terminal of common-mode inductor L3 is connected to one end of capacitors C2, C3, and C5 and one input terminal of common-mode inductor L4. The other end of the output is connected to the other end of capacitor C2, the other end of capacitor C3, one end of capacitor C6, and the other end of the input of common mode inductor L4. The other ends of capacitor C5 and capacitor C6 are connected to the ground terminal. One end of the output of common mode inductor L4 is connected to one end of capacitor C4 and the output positive terminal P'. The other end of the output of common mode inductor L4 is connected to the other end of capacitor C4 and the output positive terminal N'. Common mode inductors L3 and L4 are symmetrically arranged on the input side and output side of the circuit board, and differential mode inductors L1 and L2 are symmetrically arranged on the front and back sides of the circuit board.

[0026] The filter employs a three-stage LC circuit design, with the circuit board layout implementing the connection logic between the common-mode inductors (L3, L4), differential-mode inductors (L1, L2), and capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6). A series connection between the common-mode inductors L3 and L4 and capacitors C5 and C6 forms a ground loop, utilizing the high impedance of the common-mode inductors and the high-pass characteristics of the capacitors to achieve common-mode suppression. The LC topology formed by L1 (L2) and C1 provides the first stage of filtering for differential-mode interference. The leakage inductance of the common-mode inductor L3, along with C1 and C2, forms a π-type topology for further filtering of differential-mode interference. Finally, the leakage inductance of the common-mode inductor L4, along with C3 and C4, forms a π-type topology for a third stage of filtering. The entire circuit effectively suppresses both common-mode and differential-mode interference on both the positive and negative lines.

[0027] Example 2: Figure 1-9 As shown, the filter for electromagnetic interference suppression in motor control includes a metal housing 1, a resin board 2, a circuit board 3 and a metal cover plate 4. The metal housing, metal cover plate, circuit board, resin board, two common-mode inductors, two differential-mode inductors and six capacitors C1-C6, of which four are Cx capacitors and two are Cy capacitors.

[0028] The metal casing 1 has a receiving cavity 5 with an opening at the top. The bottom of the receiving cavity 5 has a groove 6. Four guide pin fixing seats 7 are set at the four corners of the groove 6. The bottom of the groove 6 is covered with a 0.1mm resin board 2. The resin board ensures that the electrical conductive solder joints on the circuit board are completely electrically isolated from the bottom groove inside the metal casing cavity to prevent short circuits. A circuit board support step 8 is set around the bottom of the receiving cavity 5. The circuit board support step 8 is higher than the guide pin fixing seats 7. The bottom surface of the circuit board 3 contacts the circuit board support step 8. The four guide pins are located on the guide pin fixing seats 7. The filter realizes the formation of a multi-stage LC filter circuit in a sufficiently small space, providing high suppression capability. At the same time, the filter is made of metal packaging, which can also resist interference itself.

[0029] A circuit board 3 is installed inside the cavity 5. The circuit board 3 contains filter components, including capacitors C1-C6, common-mode inductors L3-L4, and differential-mode inductors L1-L2. Five pins are located at the bottom of the circuit board. Four of these pins extend beyond the bottom of the metal casing 1 and are isolated from the bottom of the metal casing 1 by glass insulators 9, which provide electrical isolation. The four pins are designated as positive input terminal 10, negative input terminal 11, positive output terminal 12, and negative output terminal 13. 3 are respectively connected to the positive input terminal IN+, negative input terminal IN-, positive output terminal OUT+, and negative output terminal OUT- of the circuit board. The fifth lead is the ground terminal 14, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metal shell 1. The metal cover plate 4 covers the opening of the metal shell 1. After the circuit board 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 5, it is filled with potting compound. The main purpose of potting is to protect the components, increase the vibration resistance, heat dissipation, and moisture resistance of the internal components, and improve product reliability. The bottom of the metal shell 1 is connected to the grounding pad (i.e., ground terminal G) on the circuit board through the inner grounding lead 15.

[0030] To facilitate the installation of the metal casing, the bottom plate of the metal casing 1 extends outward at both ends to form an extension 16. A mounting through hole 17 is provided in the middle of the extension 16. Screws are used to pass through the mounting through hole 17 to fix the metal casing to the circuit board of the device to be installed. In order to make full use of the space, the cavity projection surface is an irregular structure. The side wall of the metal casing 1 opposite to the mounting through hole 17 is provided with an inwardly convex arc-shaped structure 18. The arc-shaped structure 18 is coaxial with the mounting through hole 17, making full use of the space at the four corners of the cavity for circuit layout, so as to achieve the purpose of making full use of the space.

[0031] Furthermore, the metal casing 1 has an inwardly recessed step 19 at its top. The metal cover plate 4 is embedded in the step 19 for sealing, and its top surface is flush with the top surface of the metal casing 1. The bottom of the metal cover plate 4 has a boss 20 embedded in the side wall of the metal casing. An insulating film layer 21 is provided at the bottom of the boss 20. The stepped structure ensures that the boss structure of the metal cover plate and the metal casing are matched, so that after assembly, the top surface of the metal cover plate and the four sides of the metal casing cavity are on the same horizontal plane. The top surface and the four sides of the metal cover plate are copper-plated with nickel to ensure that the outer surface of the metal cover plate is conductive, forming a Faraday cage with the metal casing, which can ensure that the filter has good anti-interference ability. The boss surface of the metal cover plate is anodized to form an insulating film to prevent arcing between the internal components and the metal casing.

[0032] Both the metal casing and the leads are copper-plated with nickel to ensure the metal casing is conductive. Together with the metal cover plate, they form a Faraday cage, which ensures that the filter has good anti-interference capabilities.

[0033] Furthermore, the top surface and surrounding sides of the aforementioned metal cover plate are subjected to copper-nickel plating surface treatment to form a copper-nickel plating layer.

[0034] Example 3: A method for manufacturing a filter for electromagnetic interference suppression in motor control, comprising the following steps:

[0035] 1) The metal shell and metal cover are made of 4J29 alloy material and are processed to form cavity-shaped structural parts and plate-shaped structural parts respectively. Then, the metal shell and glass are co-fired at 1400℃ to obtain a sealed and fixed connection between the glass insulator and the metal shell, thus realizing the sealed connection between the metal shell and the glass insulator.

[0036] 2) The metal casing is first sandblasted on the bottom surface, then pre-treated by degreasing and rust removal. The surface of the metal casing is cleaned, and then 2μm thick copper is plated on the inner and outer surfaces by electroplating, followed by 10~15μm thick nickel. The purpose of the double metal layer is to improve the conductivity, oxidation resistance and adhesion of the metal casing.

[0037] 3) The metal cover plate is first sandblasted on the bottom surface, then pre-treated by degreasing and derusting, and the surface of the metal cover plate is cleaned. The inner and outer surfaces are first plated with 2μm thick copper, and then plated with 10~15μm thick nickel. Finally, the raised surface of the metal cover plate is polished to remove the plating layer, and then anodized on the raised surface to form an insulating film layer with a thickness of 0.3~0.8μm.

[0038] 4) Select 1210-size ceramic capacitors C1-C6, where C1-C4 are used as Cx capacitors and C5-C6 are used as Cy capacitors;

[0039] 5) Clean the steel mesh and carrier with alcohol. Before use, ensure that the steel mesh and carrier are clean and that the openings are free of impurities.

[0040] 6) Sn-5Sb solder paste is used to solder the PAD (pad) and capacitor of the circuit board. Before use, take the solder paste out of the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Then use the stirring rod to stir the solder paste repeatedly in a clockwise-counterclockwise direction for 30-60 seconds until the solder paste is in a stringy state.

[0041] 7) Fix the circuit board on the carrier and adjust the PAD of the circuit board to be consistent with the opening of the steel mesh. Close the steel mesh to ensure that the steel mesh and the circuit board on the carrier are flat.

[0042] 8) Pour the set amount of solder paste onto the stencil and use a scraper to evenly spread the solder paste into the openings so that the solder paste covers the PADs of C1-C6 on the circuit board;

[0043] 9) A 12-zone reflow oven was used for soldering the circuit board and capacitors C1-C6;

[0044] The upper and lower temperature settings for the 12 temperature zones are: 146℃, 155℃, 160℃, 170℃, 185℃, 200℃, 220℃, 240℃, 270℃, 270℃, 240℃, and 200℃. The allowable temperature adjustment tolerance for each zone is ±5℃, depending on the quantity of reflow soldering. The reflow soldering chain speed is set to 0.70 m / min.

[0045] 10) After the capacitors C1-C6 are reflow soldered, allow them to cool naturally before soldering the common mode inductors L3-L4 and differential mode inductors L1-L2.

[0046] 11) To achieve a significant suppression effect in the 20kHz~75kHz range, the inductance of the common-mode inductor should be no less than 10mH, and the inductance of the differential-mode inductor should be no less than 100uH. The common-mode inductor is manufactured using a magnetic ring made of 1K107F nanocrystalline amorphous tape material with a permeability greater than 80000. The differential-mode inductor is manufactured using a magnetic ring made of microcrystalline iron-based amorphous tape material with a permeability not exceeding 1200. To reduce product height, high-temperature enameled round copper wire is threaded onto the magnetic ring of the common-mode or differential-mode inductor to form a coil. The free end of the high-temperature enameled round copper wire after removing the enamel is used as the lead-out terminal of the common-mode or differential-mode inductor. Sn-5Sb solder wire is used to solder the lead-out terminals of the common-mode or differential-mode inductor into the through-holes of the circuit board, and excess wire is trimmed. The soldering temperature setting is 400℃±30℃.

[0047] 12) After the circuit board is soldered in steps 10) and 11), use JD-086 board cleaning solution to soak and clean the circuit board. Soak the circuit board in the board cleaning solution for 5 to 10 minutes, and then use a dense and soft bristle toothbrush to brush the solder joints, the circuit board and the components on the circuit board back and forth. The brushing cycle should be no less than 10 times. After the first cleaning is completed, replace the board cleaning solution and soak and clean it again.

[0048] 13) After the cleaned circuit board has air-dried naturally, continue soldering the leads and grounding terminals on the circuit board. The leads include the positive input terminal, the negative input terminal, the positive output terminal, and the negative output terminal.

[0049] 14) Place the resin board into the groove in the receiving cavity of the metal casing, then align the lead-out holes of the circuit board with the lead-out terminals inside the metal casing cavity, and pass the lead-out terminals through the through holes to install the circuit board. (Step 6 is to solder the capacitor pads to the corresponding pad positions on the circuit board, step 11 is to solder the common-mode inductor and differential-mode inductor solder joints, and step 14 is to solder the lead-out terminals inside the metal casing cavity.) Figure 6 (10, 11, 12, 13) and grounding terminal ( Figure 6 15 in the middle).

[0050] 15) First, set the heating plate (the purpose of heating is preheating to reduce the temperature difference between the solder leads and the ground terminal, improving soldering quality) to 100℃ and wait for the heating plate to reach the required temperature. Then, place the metal casing with the circuit board installed, along with the fixing carrier (the fixing carrier is a fixture for fixing the metal casing to be soldered, preventing the casing from being unsecured during soldering and preventing the metal casing from moving during soldering, which is not conducive to soldering), on the heating plate and heat for 1-2 minutes. Then, use a soldering iron and Sn-5Sb solder wire to solder the through holes of the circuit board leads, ensuring that the input, output, and ground terminals are soldered well. The soldering iron temperature setting is 400℃±30℃.

[0051] 16) Soak and clean the welded product from step 15) again with the board cleaning water for 5 minutes, then let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then bake it in an oven to ensure that the product is dry; the baking temperature and time settings are 130℃±10℃ and 60 minutes±5 minutes.

[0052] 17) Use two-component silicone sealant to pot the cavity of the metal casing, and control the potting height to just cover the surfaces of the highest common-mode inductors L3-L4 and differential-mode inductors L1-L2.

[0053] 18) Cover with a metal cover plate and use laser sealing welding to remelt the gap between the metal cover plate and the metal shell together to form a sealing weld pattern;

[0054] 19) Finally, the product markings are etched onto the center of the metal cover using a laser marking process. The markings may include, but are not limited to, the model number, name, manufacturer, lead-out symbol, batch number, etc.

[0055] 20) By testing the filter's insertion loss, the differential-mode insertion loss suppression capability can reach up to 100dB in the 10kHz~30MHz range, and the common-mode insertion loss suppression capability can reach up to 90dB in the 10kHz~30MHz range. Figure 11-12 As shown.

[0056] The filter of this invention is showing significant results in electromagnetic capacitance tests, such as... Figure 14 As shown, during the R102 conducted signal test, the existing filter exhibited significant interference exceeding the limit in the 10kHz~10MHz range, with the exceedance approaching 50dB, resulting in a failed test. After rectification with this utility model, as shown... Figure 13 As shown, the signal does not exceed the limit at all in the 10kHz~10MHz range, with a margin of at least 10dB, and the test passed.

[0057] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
