Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of power electronics technology, and in particular to an energy-saving electromagnet drive control circuit. Background Technology

[0002] An electromagnet is a device that generates electromagnetic fields when an electric current is passed through it. A conductive coil, matching the power of the coil, is wound around an iron core. When a current is passed through the coil, it becomes magnetic, much like a magnet. Electromagnets have extremely wide applications in daily life, such as electromagnetic cranes, electromagnetic relays, electric bells, and magnetic levitation trains. Traditional DC electromagnet driving technology generally uses mechanical contact switches or semiconductor switches.

[0003] The working process of a DC electromagnet is as follows: after being energized, the excitation current of the coil rises exponentially, magnetizing the magnetic circuit including the armature. The established magnetic field exerts an attractive force on the armature; eventually, the armature is attracted into place, and the magnetic circuit is closed. After the magnetic circuit is closed, the magnetic reluctance is extremely small, and only a very small current is needed to generate sufficient magnetic flux to maintain the closure of the armature. The working process of an AC electromagnet is more complex, with greater current variations, and both the coil and the iron core will heat up due to eddy current and hysteresis losses.

[0004] Common applications of electromagnets include electromagnetic lifting devices and door locks. These devices require continuous power supply and consume a lot of energy when they are working.

Attached Figure Description

[0033] Figure 1 This is a circuit connection diagram of the electromagnet drive control circuit in this application. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the description of this specification, the references to "certain embodiments," "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the described embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0036] This application discloses an energy-saving electromagnet drive control circuit, including a power supply module, a mains zero-crossing detection module, a CPU control module, a control drive module, and a control output module that are coupled together.

[0037] The power supply module is used to supply power to the CPU control module and the control output module.

[0038] The mains voltage zero-crossing detection unit is used to detect the zero-crossing signal of the mains voltage; it ensures that the electromagnet is switched on and off when the mains voltage crosses zero, thereby reducing the current surge of the electromagnet during startup and shutdown and reducing energy consumption.

[0039] The CPU control module is used to output control signals or stop signals to drive the electromagnet based on the received key signals.

[0040] The control drive module is used to receive the working signal or stop signal from the CPU control module, wait for the zero-crossing signal, and output the corresponding control signal to the control output module to drive the electromagnet.

[0041] The control output module, upon receiving a control signal, drives the electromagnet to work or stop.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, after receiving the working signal, the control drive module waits for the mains power to cross zero, and then outputs a control signal to the control output module to drive the electromagnet to work and stop. When the mains power crosses zero, the voltage is zero. At this time, controlling the on and off of the electromagnet can avoid the current surge caused by switching on and off at the voltage peak, and can also reduce the energy loss of the electromagnet when starting and stopping, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the electromagnet in the non-working state and improving the energy saving effect.

[0043] In addition, electromagnets can be made of hard magnetic materials, which can retain strong magnetism after the magnetic field is removed. This means that the electromagnet can still retain a certain amount of magnetism after the power is turned off, and a strong reverse magnetic field is required to demagnetize it. This means that the electromagnet can resist external interference and maintain stable magnetism when working, and has high remanence and high coercivity, which further improves the energy-saving effect.

[0054] The specific working process of this embodiment in this application is as follows:

[0055] When the electromagnet is magnetized, the working button S1 is pressed. The CPU chip detects the press in real time and waits for the zero-crossing signal I3 provided by the mains zero-crossing detection unit. The output control signal O3 is high, which makes the relay K1 energize and prepare for operation. Then, according to the required working current, after a certain delay, the output signal O2 is a high-level periodic pulse signal during the positive half-cycle of the power supply. This controls OPT1 to conduct, which in turn controls the unidirectional thyristor T1 to output the working current corresponding to the positive working voltage at an appropriate conduction angle, driving the electromagnet to work. After a certain period of operation (0.1 seconds to several seconds), the pulse control signal ends, the relay is disconnected, the thyristor is cut off, and the whole machine enters a sleep-and-power-saving state.

[0056] When the electromagnet needs to stop working, the stop button S2 is pressed. The CPU chip detects the press in real time and waits for the zero-crossing signal I3 provided by the mains zero-crossing detection unit. The output control signal O3 is high, which makes the relay K1 energize and prepare to work. Then, according to the required working current, after a certain delay, the O1 signal is output as a high-level periodic pulse signal during the negative half-cycle of the power supply, which controls OPT2 to conduct. In turn, it controls the unidirectional thyristor T2 to output the working current corresponding to the negative working voltage at an appropriate conduction angle. After driving the electromagnet to work for a certain period of time (0.1 seconds to several seconds), the pulse control signal ends, and the whole machine enters the sleep power-saving state.

[0057] Alternatively, after a certain delay based on the required operating current, the O1 signal (high-level periodic pulse signal) and the O2 signal (high-level periodic pulse signal) are output during the negative half-cycle of the power supply and the positive half-cycle of the mains power supply, respectively, to alternately control the conduction of OPT1 and OPT2. This, in turn, controls the unidirectional thyristors T1 and T2 to output the corresponding operating current and operating voltage at appropriate conduction angles, driving the electromagnet to work. After a certain period of operation (0.1 seconds to several seconds), the pulse control signal ends, the electromagnet stops working, and the entire machine enters a sleep-and-power-saving state.
