Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solenoid valves, and more particularly to a method for driving a solenoid valve which is modularized and has a power-saving effect. [Background technology]

[0002] Due to the energy efficiency of the integrated solenoid valves currently on the market, when they are used continuously for a long time, the power consumption required for operation is relatively large, which leads to high energy consumption costs. Therefore, it is difficult to operate them normally in places where the power supply is insufficient.

[0003] The advantage of commercially available energy-saving solenoid valves is that they are valves that can minimize energy consumption during operation, thereby reducing the operating costs of the entire system. Specifically, by adopting low-power electronic components and energy-saving control circuits, the efficiency during opening and closing can be increased, thereby extending the service life of the entire component.

[0004] Therefore, if an energy saving function can be effectively introduced into the above-mentioned integrated solenoid valve, the problem of power demand can be improved, and thus the service life can be extended. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a modularized solenoid valve having a power saving effect, which includes an air circuit solenoid valve module, a serial control module, and a power supply switching unit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the power-saving, modularized solenoid valve has the following features.

[0007] 1. The air circuit solenoid valve module includes two solenoid valves, which are mainly used to control the external air circuit.

[0008] 2. The series control module is configured by connecting two full-wave rectifiers and two upper limit current holding switches to a series control circuit, and this structure can control the solenoid valve more efficiently.

[0009] 3. The power switching unit is connected to the serial control module and can logically execute the opening and closing operation of the air circuit, thereby controlling the entire system.

[0010] 4. Equipped with power saving function. Through the output of the full-wave rectifier and the upper limit current holding switch and the control by the power switching unit, the power saving control of the air circuit solenoid valve module can be reliably realized.

[0011] 5. Modular control allows the system to connect multiple solenoid valves in series, and perform operations in a modularized manner, making it possible to more effectively control complex air circuits.

[0012] 6. The logical control of the air circuit is realized by a power switching unit, a full wave rectifier, and a maximum current holding switch, so that the entire system operates according to a specific logic or sequence. Effect of the Invention

[0013] Therefore, the power-saving and modularized electromagnetic actuation method of the present invention realizes energy saving, modularization, and flexible control of the air circuit, so that the solenoid valve with the above-mentioned features can more effectively control complex air circuits. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an electrical circuit diagram of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is an electrical circuit diagram of a series control according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Based on the present invention, the details of preferred and feasible embodiments will be described in combination with Figures 1 to 3 to deepen understanding of the present invention. The method for driving a solenoid valve having a power saving effect and being modularized according to the present invention comprises an air circuit solenoid valve module 10, and two solenoid valves 11 are provided inside the air circuit solenoid valve module 10. The air circuit solenoid valve module 10 is mainly used to control an external air circuit.

[0016] The series control module 20 is configured by connecting two full-wave rectifiers 22 to a series control circuit 21, and further connecting two upper limit current holding switches 23 to the full-wave rectifiers 22. The upper limit current holding switches 23 are connected to the solenoid valves 11, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the series control circuit 21 and the corresponding series control circuit 21 are connected to each other, and then further connected in series to connect more solenoid valves in series, thereby finally forming the series control module 20. Each solenoid valve 11 has its own code and position, so that even if the operation is complicated, the relevant action and command can be easily performed on the target solenoid valve.

[0017] A power supply switching unit 30 is connected to the series control module 20, and the opening and closing operation of the air circuit in the series control module 20 is logically executed by the power supply switching unit 30. The air circuit is logically controlled by outputting power to the air circuit solenoid valve module 10 via the full-wave rectifier 22 and the upper limit current holding switch 23. This makes it possible to modularize and control the operation of a plurality of solenoid valves connected in series, and also to achieve energy saving effects.

[0018] The main function of the above-mentioned full-wave rectifier 22 is to convert AC voltage to DC voltage, which allows the device to operate with a constant forward DC voltage during use. Therefore, the conventional solenoid valve needs to manufacture solenoid valves corresponding to the model number in order to match the control method of NPN (NPN Transistor) or PNP (PNP Transistor), which makes the production line complicated.

[0019] The use process of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below. The main steps are: providing the solenoid valve with a power-saving function, modularizing the solenoid valve, and driving and using the solenoid valve. The step of providing the solenoid valve with a power-saving function can fully realize the power-saving control of the air circuit solenoid valve module 10 by controlling the outputs of the full-wave rectifier 22 and the upper limit current holding switch 23 and the power supply switching unit 30.

[0020] The step of modularizing the solenoid valve includes forming the air circuit solenoid valve module 10 with two of the solenoid valves 11. The air circuit solenoid valve module 10 controls an external air circuit, and the series control circuit 21 is connected to the full-wave rectifier 22 and further to the upper limit current holding switch 23 to form the series control module 20. With this structure, the solenoid valve 11 can be operated and controlled more efficiently.

[0021] In the driving and using step, the system can connect a plurality of the solenoid valves 11 in series and perform operations in a modularized manner, so that a complex air circuit can be effectively controlled.

[0022] In summary, the power saving effect and modularized solenoid valve driving method of the present invention controls the logical opening and closing operation of the air circuit in the series control module 20 by the power switching unit 30, and outputs power to the air circuit solenoid valve module 10 by the full-wave rectifier 22 and the upper limit current holding switch 23, thereby logically controlling the air circuit. This allows the operation and control of multiple solenoid valves connected in series in a modularized manner, and achieves a power saving effect. [Explanation of symbols]
