Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un circuit de commande pour électroaimant à deux bobines, à savoir une première bobine alimentée à l'appel et une deuxième bobine alimentée au maintien. ce circuit comprenant une source d'énergie à tension continue pour alimenter les bobines, ainsi qu'un premier interrupteur et un deuxième interrupteur associés respectivement à la bobine d'appel et à la bobine de maintien pour y commander le passage du courant.The present invention relates to a control circuit for an electromagnet with two coils, namely a first coil supplied on call and a second coil supplied with maintenance. this circuit including a source of DC voltage to power the coils, as well as a first switch and a second switch respectively associated with the coil call and the holding coil to control the passage of the current.
Dans le brevet DE-21 28 651 est décrit un circuit de commande pour électroaimant à deux bobines. Dans la phase d'appel, dont la durée est déterminée par la charge d'une capacité à un niveau déterminé par une diode Zener, les deux bobines sont alimentées pour procurer l'énergie nécessaire à la fermeture de l'électroaimant ; dans la phase de maintien, seule l'une des bobines continue d'être alimentée. Mais ce circuit de commande a pour inconvénient d'exiger une source d'énergie capable d'alimenter en même temps à l'appel les deux bobines.In patent DE-21 28 651, a control circuit for an electromagnet is described. with two coils. In the appeal phase, the duration of which is determined by charging a capacitor at a level determined by a Zener diode, the two coils are supplied to provide the energy necessary to closing the electromagnet; in the maintenance phase, only one of the coils continue to be energized. But this control circuit has the disadvantage to require a source of energy capable of powering at the same time time to call the two coils.
La présente invention a pour but de permettre de recourir à une source d'énergie de niveau réduit, par exemple similaire à l'appel et au maintien, et de simplifier le circuit de commande nécessaire à cet effet.The present invention aims to allow the use of a source reduced level energy, for example similar to call and hold, and to simplify the control circuit necessary for this purpose.
Selon l'invention,
- la source d'énergie comprend un générateur de courant et une capacité alimentée par ce générateur de courant,
- un organe de commande pilote un premier interrupteur et un deuxième interrupteur, de manière que le premier interrupteur commande pendant la phase d'appel la décharge de la capacité dans la première bobine, et que le deuxième interrupteur établit pendant la phase d'appel et pendant la phase de maintien, - et respectivement interrompt à la retombée - , le passage du courant dans la deuxième bobine.
- the energy source comprises a current generator and a capacity supplied by this current generator,
- a controller controls a first switch and a second switch, so that the first switch controls during the call phase the discharge of the capacity in the first coil, and that the second switch establishes during the call phase and during the holding phase, - and respectively interrupts the fallout -, the flow of current through the second coil.
Ainsi le générateur de courant peut être dimensionné pour fournir une énergie constante et relativement réduite ; l'énergie d'appel de l'électroaimant provient de l'énergie permanente développée par la deuxième bobine à partir du générateur de courant et de l'énergie d'appoint développée par la première bobine à l'aide de la capacité.So the current generator can be dimensioned to provide energy constant and relatively small; the calling energy of the electromagnet comes from the permanent energy developed by the second coil from of the current generator and the auxiliary energy developed by the first coil using capacity.
Dans un mode de réalisation simple, le premier interrupteur est situé entre le générateur de courant et la capacité et relié au générateur de courant via une diode antiretour, tandis que le deuxième interrupteur est placé en série avec le montage parallèle des deux bobines de manière à être fermé pendant la phase d'appel et pendant la phase de maintien et ouvert au repos.In a simple embodiment, the first switch is located between the current generator and capacity and connected to the current generator via a non-return diode, while the second switch is placed in series with the parallel mounting of the two coils so as to be closed for the call phase and during the hold phase and open at rest.
Dans certains cas, le générateur de peut délivrer un niveau de courant réglable, l'organe de commande étant connecté au générateur de courant pour lui transmettre une consigne de courant plus élevée pendant la phase d'appel que pendant la phase de maintien. On peut ainsi accentuer l'énergie disponible à l'appel tout en conservant l'avantage obtenu grâce à l'invention.In some cases, the generator can deliver an adjustable current level, the control member being connected to the current generator for transmit a higher current setpoint to it during the call phase than during the maintenance phase. We can thus accentuate the energy available on call while retaining the advantage obtained thanks to the invention.
La description est faite ci-après d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention, en regard des dessins annexés.The description is given below of a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, next to the accompanying drawings.
La figure 1 représente le schéma d'un circuit de commande conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 shows the diagram of a control circuit according to the invention.
La figure 2 est un graphe montrant la variation du courant dans les bobines au cours d'un cycle de commande.Figure 2 is a graph showing the variation of the current in the coils during an order cycle.
Le circuit de commande représenté est associé à l'électroaimant E d'un
contacteur électromécanique dont on souhaite fermer et ouvrir les contacts
en réponse à un ordre de marche ou d'arrêt. Le circuit de commande comprend
des bornes A1,A2 reliées à une source de tension continue ou de
tension alternative redressée V ; l'application de cette tension est déterminée
par un interrupteur mécanique ou électronique S de marche-arrêt. La
borne positive Ai et la borne négative A2 du circuit sont reliées par des
conducteurs respectivement positif 1 et négatif 2 à un organe de commande
10 et à deux bobines L1,L2 engendrant les ampères-tours requis.The control circuit shown is associated with the electromagnet E of a
electromechanical contactor whose contacts are to be closed and opened
in response to a start or stop command. The control circuit includes
terminals A1, A2 connected to a DC voltage source or
rectified alternating voltage V; the application of this voltage is determined
by a mechanical or electronic on-off switch S. The
positive terminal Ai and the negative terminal A2 of the circuit are connected by
positive 1 and negative 2 conductors respectively to a
Il est prévu à l'entrée du circuit de commande un générateur 11 de courant
apte à fournir un courant relativement réduit et de préférence constant, par
exemple de l'ordre de 100 mA.A
La borne haute de la bobine L1 est connectée au conducteur positif 1 par
l'intermédiaire d'une diode antiretour D1 et d'un interrupteur T1 constitué par
exemple par un transistor. La borne haute de la bobine L2 est connectée
directement au conducteur positif 1. Les bobines L1 et L2 sont disposées en
parallèle et leur borne basse est connectée au conducteur négatif 2 via un
interrupteur T2 constitué par exemple par un transistor. Une diode Zener Z1
peut être prévue facultativement pour shunter l'interrupteur T2. Une capacité
C1 qui sert à alimenter la bobine L1 dans la phase d'appel est connectée
entre la borne haute de L1 et le conducteur négatif 2.The upper terminal of the coil L1 is connected to the
L'organe de commande 10 possède des entrées 10a, 10b reliées au circuit
en amont du générateur de courant il et respectivement à un point du circuit
proche de la capacité Ci pour détecter la tension V et respectivement la
tension VC1 de la capacité ; il possède des sorties 10c,10d pour piloter les
interrupteurs T1 et respectivement T2. Le générateur il de courant délivre
un niveau de courant haut 12A ou un niveau de courant bas 12B en fonction
d'un signal de commutation ou d'une consigne de courant commutable fournie
par l'organe de commande 10.The
Le fonctionnement du circuit de commande va être expliqué en regard de la figure 2.The operation of the control circuit will be explained with reference to the figure 2.
L'interrupteur S est initialement ouvert, de sorte que l'électroaimant est désactivé et que les contacts du contacteur sont ouverts ; l'interrupteur S est fermé à l'instant t0 pour activer l'électroaimant afin de fermer les contacts du contacteur.Switch S is initially open, so that the solenoid is deactivated and that the contactor contacts are open; switch S is closed at time t0 to activate the electromagnet in order to close the contacts of the contactor.
Dès que l'organe de commande détecte à son entrée 10a une tension suffisante
au niveau des bornes A1,A2, il déclenche la phase d'appel en rendant
T1 passant, tout en maintenant T2 bloqué, de sorte que la capacité Ci se
charge (figure 2-A).As soon as the control member detects a sufficient voltage at its
A l'instant t1, l'organe de commande détecte à son entrée 10b une tension suffisante de charge de la capacité C1, et en conséquence il bloque T1 et rend T2 passant (figures 2-B et 2-D). Il en résulte que la capacité C1 se décharge dans la bobine L1 (figure 2-C), tandis que la bobine L2 est directement alimentée par le générateur de courant 11 (partie gauche de la figure 2-E). L'énergie alors fournie conjointement par les bobines Ll et L2 permet de fermer les contacts du contacteur.At time t1, the control device detects a voltage at its input 10b sufficient charge of capacity C1, and consequently it blocks T1 and makes T2 pass (Figures 2-B and 2-D). As a result, the capacity C1 discharges in the coil L1 (figure 2-C), while the coil L2 is directly powered by the current generator 11 (left part of the figure 2-E). The energy then supplied jointly by the coils L1 and L2 allows to close the contactor contacts.
La fin t2 de la phase d'appel est déterminée par l'organe 10 qui laisse les
transistors T1,T2 dans l'état précédent et qui transmet au générateur de
courant il un signal de changement de consigne, celle-ci passant par
exemple de 100 mA à 50 mA pour réduire la consommation d'énergie du
circuit de commande au maintien (voir partie droite de la figure 2-E). Pour
faire retomber l'électroaimant, la désalimentation de la bobine L2 est ensuite
commandée à l'instant t3 par ouverture de l'interrupteur S.The end t2 of the call phase is determined by the
