Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0016] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This illustration shows a modular motor speed control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a power input module 100, a high-voltage to low-voltage module 200, a signal processing module 300, a motor drive interface module 400, and a protection module 500; the power input module 100 is electrically connected to the high-voltage to low-voltage module 200, the high-voltage to low-voltage module 200 is electrically connected to the signal processing module 300, the protection module 500 is electrically connected to both the power input module 100 and the high-voltage to low-voltage module 200, and the signal processing module 300 is electrically connected to the motor drive interface module 400.
[0017] The modular motor speed control circuit of this application integrates power processing, signal control, protection, and interface through modular design. Each module is connected via a standardized interface, and reserved NC components (such as R2 and R5) provide space for later debugging and functional expansion. In practical applications, PWM speed control or potentiometer speed control can be selected according to specific needs. Optical isolation and multiple protection mechanisms ensure stable operation of the circuit in complex environments.
[0018] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, the power input module 100 includes: a rectifier bridge ZD1, a filter capacitor C7, common mode inductors L1 and L3, and an NTC thermistor RT1; the input terminal of the rectifier bridge ZD1 is connected to AC power, and the output terminal is connected to the filter capacitor C7 and the common mode inductors L1 and L3 in sequence. The NTC thermistor RT1 is connected in parallel to the input terminal of the rectifier bridge ZD1.
[0019] The power input module 100 described above has an input interface CN1 that can be connected to an AC power interface. AC power is then fed into a rectifier bridge ZD1, preferably a KBL610 model, which converts the AC power to DC power. The output terminal is connected in sequence to a filter capacitor C7, preferably 150μF / 450V, and common-mode inductors L1 and L3, preferably with an inductance of 1mH, to filter out high-frequency noise and output a stable 310V high-voltage DC. An NTC thermistor RT1, preferably a 5D-11 model, is connected in parallel to the input of the rectifier bridge ZD1 to suppress inrush current during power-on and protect the rectifier bridge ZD1 and subsequent circuitry.
[0020] The circuit employs an NTC thermistor RT1 to suppress inrush current during startup, a varistor RV1 to absorb grid surges, and a fuse FU1 to provide overcurrent protection. Optocouplers U2 and U3 isolate the high and low voltage circuits, significantly improving circuit reliability. Common-mode inductors L1 and L3, along with capacitor X2, effectively suppress high-frequency noise, meeting industrial-grade EMC standards and reducing interference to peripheral equipment. It also supports PWM signals from the MCU and analog signals from potentiometers for speed control, adapting to different control scenarios. The modular structure clearly separates the power supply, control, and interface modules, facilitating maintenance and functional expansion, and reserves space for NC components to support future upgrades.
[0021] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the high-voltage to low-voltage module 200 converts 310V high voltage to 15V low voltage, including a multi-stage filter circuit composed of multiple filter capacitors C9, C10, and C11 and a Zener diode D6. The Zener diode D6 is connected in parallel between the 15V output terminal and ground.
[0022] The aforementioned high-voltage to low-voltage module 200 converts the 310V high voltage to 15V low voltage via a switching power supply or a linear regulator circuit (not fully shown in the diagram) to power the control circuit. The 15V output is connected to a multi-stage filter circuit, including filter capacitor C9 (preferably 100NF / 50V), filter capacitor C10 (preferably 4.7μF / 35V), and filter capacitor C11 (preferably 4.7μF / 35V) to ensure voltage stability. Zener diode D6, preferably a ZM4736A (6.2V), is connected in parallel between the 15V output and ground to clamp the voltage and protect the low-voltage circuit.
[0023] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the signal processing module 300 includes PWM speed control interfaces CN2 and CN4 and optocoupler isolation elements, namely two optocouplers U2 and U3, preferably CT817B. The PWM speed control interfaces CN2 and CN4 are used to receive external PWM signals, and the optocoupler isolation elements U2 and U3 are disposed between the high-voltage circuit and the low-voltage control circuit.
[0024] Furthermore, the PWM speed control interface CN2 is an MCU PWM interface, and the PWM speed control interface CN4 is a potentiometer speed control interface, which is connected to potentiometer RP1.
[0025] The signal processing module 300 includes PWM speed control interfaces CN2 and CN4, where CN2 is the MCU PWM interface and CN4 is the potentiometer speed control interface. CN4 connects to potentiometer RP, preferably model RV09, a 5K potentiometer, and analog speed control signals can be input by adjusting the potentiometer. Optocoupler isolation components U2 and U3 are placed between the high-voltage circuit and the low-voltage control circuit to achieve electrical isolation between the high and low voltage signals and enhance anti-interference capability. During speed control, VSP (speed signal) and PG (feedback signal) are transmitted through the interface to achieve closed-loop speed control.
[0026] The protection module 500 includes a varistor RV1, preferably model 10D471K, and a fuse FU1, preferably T6.3A / 250V. The varistor RV1 is connected in parallel in the power input circuit. When a surge voltage occurs in the mains, the varistor's resistance decreases rapidly, absorbing the surge energy. The fuse FU1 is connected in series in the power input circuit. When an overcurrent fault occurs in the circuit, the fuse blows, cutting off the power supply and protecting downstream components.
[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the motor drive interface module 400 includes interfaces CN1, CN2, and CN4. CN1 and CN2 both provide 310V power, GND, and 15V power interfaces, while CN4 provides GND, PWM signal, and PG feedback signal interfaces, compatible with potentiometer or MCU-controlled motor speed regulation. The interface definitions are clear, facilitating connection to external motors and control devices. The EMC suppression module includes X2 capacitors C3 (preferably 220pF), C4 (preferably 0.22µF), and common-mode inductor L2 (preferably 5mH). The X2 capacitor is connected in parallel in the power input circuit to suppress differential-mode interference, while the common-mode inductor is connected in series in the power input circuit to suppress common-mode interference. Together, they ensure that the circuit complies with industrial-grade EMC standards, making it suitable for interference-prone scenarios such as motor drives.
