Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of control circuits, specifically to a circuit used to drive a massage vibrator. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, in-vehicle comfort features have become an important direction for improving user experience. Among them, seat massage function has received widespread attention because it can effectively relieve driving fatigue. The realization of seat massage function mainly relies on the precise control of the massage vibrator by the drive circuit. Its performance directly affects the stability and variety of the massage effect and the integration of the circuit.

[0003] To achieve differentiated vibrations (such as different frequencies) from multiple massage oscillators, traditional solutions often use multiple independent signal sources to drive each channel separately. While this approach can meet the requirements for frequency differentiation, it requires multiple independent signal generation circuits, resulting in a large overall circuit size, a surge in hardware costs, and is not conducive to spatial layout in a vehicle environment.

[0004] The vibration intensity of a massage vibrator is determined by the amplitude of the drive signal, and traditional solutions often use analog potentiometers for amplitude adjustment. However, analog potentiometers suffer from mechanical wear, and long-term use can easily lead to parameter drift, causing the vibration intensity to deviate from the preset value. This makes it difficult to meet the long-term stability requirements of vehicle-mounted equipment and affects the consistency of the massage effect.

[0005] In multi-oscillator collaborative operation scenarios, a single signal needs to be distributed through multiple stages before being transmitted to each channel. Because the signal is easily affected by factors such as line impedance and differences in component characteristics during the distribution process, phase shifts and amplitude attenuation often occur, resulting in asynchronous operation of multiple oscillators, poor collaborative effect, and reduced comfort and reliability of the massage function. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model mainly provides a circuit for driving a massage vibrator to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0008] A circuit for driving a massage vibrator includes a core signal source, a signal distribution layer, an amplitude control layer, a signal amplification layer, and a power drive layer; wherein, the core signal source includes a digital-to-analog converter, the signal distribution layer and the signal amplification layer both include operational amplifiers, the amplitude control layer includes a control chip, and the power drive layer includes a power amplifier chip.

[0009] The output of the digital-to-analog converter is connected to the input of the operational amplifier in the signal distribution layer. The output of the operational amplifier in the signal distribution layer is connected to the input of the control chip in the amplitude control layer. The output of the control chip in the amplitude control layer is connected to the input of the operational amplifier in the signal amplification layer. The output of the operational amplifier in the signal amplification layer is connected to the input of the power amplifier chip in the power drive layer. The output of the power amplifier chip in the power drive layer is used to connect to the massage vibrator.

[0010] The core signal source outputs multiple analog voltages through a digital-to-analog converter, and obtains a sine wave output signal by plotting points using a software algorithm; the signal distribution layer uses operational amplifiers to form voltage followers, distributing the source signal to each channel; the amplitude control layer uses a control chip to achieve independent programmable control of the amplitude of each channel, or changes the output voltage amplitude by modifying the data input to the digital-to-analog converter; the signal amplification layer uses operational amplifiers to form voltage amplifiers, amplifying the amplitude signal by a fixed factor; the power drive layer uses a power amplifier chip in conjunction with a 12V automotive power supply to provide driving power to the massage vibrator.

[0011] Furthermore, the core signal source uses a digital-to-analog converter of model DAC124S085CIMM.

[0012] Furthermore, the signal distribution layer and the signal amplification layer employ operational amplifiers of model LM2904DR.

[0013] Furthermore, the amplitude control layer uses a control chip of model MCP41010.

[0014] Furthermore, the power drive layer uses a power amplifier chip with the model number CS8623E.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] Firstly, the core signal source of this utility model controls the digital-to-analog converter through a single SPI bus, outputs multiple analog voltages and generates sine wave signals, eliminating the need for multiple independent signal sources, greatly reducing the redundant design of hardware circuits, effectively reducing circuit size, lowering production costs, and making it more suitable for the space constraints of the vehicle environment.

[0017] Secondly, the signal distribution layer of this utility model uses an operational amplifier to form a voltage follower. By utilizing its high input impedance and low output impedance, the source signal is stably distributed to each channel, which significantly reduces the phase shift and amplitude attenuation caused by the signal being distributed through multiple stages in traditional circuits. This ensures the coordination and consistency of multiple massage oscillators during operation and improves the stability of the massage effect.

[0018] Thirdly, the amplitude control layer of this utility model realizes independent programming control of the amplitude of each channel through the control chip, or changes the output voltage amplitude by modifying the data input to the digital-to-analog converter. Both methods are digital adjustment methods without mechanical wear, avoiding the parameter drift problem caused by mechanical wear of traditional analog potentiometers, ensuring the long-term stability and adjustment accuracy of the vibration intensity of the massage oscillator, and meeting the long-term use requirements of vehicle-mounted equipment.
