Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to 11V-110V switching power supplies, and in particular to an 11V-110V switching power supply suitable for arc voltage induction wire feeders. Background Technology
[0002] An arc voltage induction wire feeder is a device that adjusts the wire feeding speed by detecting changes in arc voltage during the welding process to maintain the stability of the welding process. Its working principle is as follows: it automatically adjusts the wire feeding speed by detecting the arc voltage to maintain a stable arc length. When the arc length changes, causing a change in arc voltage, the system will feed this signal back and adjust the wire feeding speed to restore the arc length to the initial set value, forming a closed-loop control.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN201010508081.8 discloses an arc voltage induction wire feeder. Under the regulation and control of the motor speed regulation and welding timing control module, it provides a stable voltage to the printed winding motor, which can feed the wire smoothly. Moreover, the welding power supply can provide a stable power supply voltage under any static external characteristic mode (constant current / constant voltage), and can control the wire feeding speed and arc length, thereby improving the welding quality.
[0004] With the rapid development of welding machines, arc voltage induction wire feeders will also be further developed and updated, and the precision requirements for arc voltage induction wire feeders will be further improved. The power supply voltage range of traditional arc voltage induction wire feeders is only (15-100V), which cannot adapt to the voltage requirements of new welding processes (11-110V). This urgently requires a reliable, low-cost switching power supply with very low input voltage and a wide adjustment range to match it. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve in view of the above-mentioned prior art is that the power supply voltage range of traditional arc voltage induction wire feeders is only 15-100V, which cannot adapt to the voltage requirements of new welding processes.
[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an 11V-110V switching power supply suitable for arc voltage induction wire feeders, including a power supply circuit. The power supply circuit includes PCB CIRCLE1, PCB CIRCLE2, PCB CIRCLE3, and PCB CIRCLE4 areas. The power supply circuit, except for PCB CIRCLE1, PCB CIRCLE2, PCB CIRCLE3, and PCB CIRCLE4 areas, is divided into PCB CIRCLE5 areas. PCB CIRCLE5 areas include a T1 switching power supply transformer, primary windings 1 and 3, feedback windings 5 and 6, output windings 7 and 8, and feedback voltage windings.
[0007] PCB CIRCLE5 is electrically connected to PCB CIRCLE1 and PCB CIRCLE2 respectively, PCB CIRCLE2 is electrically connected to PCB CIRCLE3, and PCB CIRCLE3 is electrically connected to PCB CIRCLE4.
[0008] In the aforementioned 11V-110V switching power supplies suitable for arc voltage induction wire feeders, the power supply voltage range of the arc voltage induction wire feeder is increased to adapt to the voltage requirements of the new welding process.
[0009] As a further improvement of this application, within the PCB CIRCLE5 area, PCBCIRCLE5 is a switching inverter circuit, 3V2IRF260 is a power switch transistor, VD1~VD4 are input rectifier transistors, C5 is an input filter capacitor, R6 is a detection input, and the input voltage is also provided to U1 through R46, Q2, CR10 and CR2 to ensure reliable startup of the switching power supply throughout the entire range.
[0010] 3V2 is the power switch transistor, R22 is the current limiting resistor to ensure that the switch transistor is not damaged by overcurrent, U1 and the surrounding circuit provide the drive pulse for the switch transistor, U4 and the surrounding circuit provide the feedback signal to ensure the stable operation of the circuit, and R16, C2 and D8 are peak absorption circuits to protect 3V2 from being broken down by high voltage.
[0011] As a further improvement to this application, the input voltage in the PCB CIRCLE1 area is regulated to 10V after passing through R46, Q2, CR10 and CR2, which powers the U1 circuit to start the switching power supply and provides the starting voltage for the auxiliary part of the switching power supply.
[0012] As a further improvement of this application, D4 in the PCB CIRCLE2 area is a fast rectifier diode, which performs rectification to convert AC to DC. C10 and C49 are output filter capacitors, which perform energy storage. U5 adopts a DC / DC converter chip with an operating frequency of 150KHz. The input voltage is input through pin 1 of U5 and output as +12V, 3A current through inductor L1 from pin 2 of U5. R36 and R37 are voltage feedback circuits. R2LED1 visually indicates whether the switching power supply is working. When working, the light is on. The PCB CIRCLE2 area is the voltage output circuit, which provides 12V, 3A voltage output for the contactor and solenoid valve of the arc wire feeder.
[0013] As another improvement in this application, U2 in the PCB CIRCLE3 area uses a DC / DC converter chip with an operating frequency of 570KHz. The +12V input voltage is input through pin 2 of U2 and output through pin 8 of U2 via inductor L3 and D3 to output a +7V voltage. R44, R41 and R42 are voltage feedback circuits, providing 7V to U6 and outputting a 5V voltage. Therefore, the power consumption is very low and no heat sink is needed for heat dissipation. Another path is through C1, D2 and C40 to generate a -12V regulated voltage. The PCB CIRCLE3 area is the control voltage output part of the arc wire feeder, ensuring the stable operation of the sensor circuit.
[0014] As a further improvement to this application, U6 in the PCB CIRCLE4 area uses a DC / DC converter chip with an operating frequency of 150KHz. The input voltage is input through pin 1 of U6 and output as +5V through inductor L2 from pin 2 of U6. The maximum output current can reach 3A. The PCB CIRCLE4 area can provide a high-precision 5V voltage for the CPU and display on the control board.
[0015] In summary, in this application, when the input voltage is 11-110V, the voltage rectified by VD1-VD4 is provided to U1 by R6 with current limiting. At the same time, voltage is provided to U1 through R46, Q2, CR10 and CR2. When the voltage required for startup is met, U1 starts up and outputs a drive voltage. The voltage output from windings 5 and 6 through D11 is used by U1. U4 continuously detects the magnitude of the voltage output from windings 7 and 8 through D4. After passing through R3, R4, R1 and R2, U3 compares and controls the magnitude of the output voltage, thereby controlling the voltage output of the entire circuit and increasing the power supply voltage range of the arc voltage induction wire feeder to adapt to the voltage requirements of new welding processes.
