- FIGS. 4 and 4a show schematic circuit diagrams of switch contact configurations.
- the motor M1 is connected to a terminal 1 of a change-over contact S1 via a first connecting line.
- the second connecting line of the motor M1 is connected via a resistor R1 to a terminal 1 of a second changeover contact S2.
- the changeover contacts S1 and S2 are, for example, switching contacts of a respective relay.
- the operating unit 10 has at least two changeover contacts S1 and S2, which are actuated by the operating elements 12, 13.
- Fig. 4 shows the motor M1 in a non-on state. Normally closed terminals 2 of the changeover contacts S1 and S2 are connected to one another and to a positive line of the supply unit (not shown) of the control device 9.
- NO contacts 3 of the changeover S1 and S2 are also interconnected and connected to a negative / ground line of the supply unit of the control device 9, not shown.
- Fig. 4 shows the non-switched-state of the motor M1.
- the motor M1 is short-circuited via the openers 2 of the changeover contacts S1 and S2 and the resistor R1.
- This condition is also called a regenerative brake.
- a voltage dropped across the resistor R1 due to the motor current flowing through the resistor R1 upon operation of the motor M1 is measured at the terminals A and B of the resistor R1.
- a resistor R2 is disposed in the negative / ground line to the make terminals 3 of the changeover contacts S1 and S2.
- the motor lines of the motor M1 are connected here directly to the terminals 1 of the changeover contacts S1, S2.
- the back EMF of the motor M1 can be detected as a function of its motor current. In this case, only one motor can ever be moved if the resistor R2 is in a common supply line for all motors.
- the additional resistor R3 in the minus / ground line fulfills certain functions for further embodiments, which are explained in more detail below.
- this resistor R3 can be switched on in the line. This is done e.g. in that the resistor R3 can be bridged by a contact. This bypass is opened during soft start, so that the motor current must flow through the resistor R3. After a suitable starting time, the bridge is closed again, and the resistor R3 is bridged for the normal operation of the motor M1.
- resistor R3 can also be an NTC with additional bridging.
- an adjustable resistor e.g. a transistor
- the transistor can be controlled more or less via a ramp function.
- the ramp function is e.g. current-controlled and / or temperature-controlled. A high current leads to a short-term ramp.
- the resistor R2 and R3 can also be designed in one design or combination, so that two functions, namely soft start and detection of the back EMF can be carried out with a resistor. In this case, after the soft start a bridging is done so that a residual resistance remains over which the back EMF can fall to the detection.
- the soft start can also be understood as throttling described above, since at the moment of switching on the electric motor and at the same time for moving high loads, the pulse width ratio can be in the critical range, which affects the evaluation and counting of the ripple.
- the soft start or the throttling acts like a resistor.
- a resistor is used.
- Another contradiction Stand still further has an imaginary part and may have an inductance or a capacitance.
- the resistor R3 could also be an inductor or have an inductance.
- the evaluation of the back EMF is carried out in an analogous and discrete manner via filters, as indicated in DE 10 2009 059 267 A1, and takes place after digitization by means of a microprocessor which is present in the control device 9 and designed with a correspondingly high sampling rate ,
- the motor M1 of each Versteilantriebs 7, 8 can also be switched and controlled with semiconductor switches.
- 5 shows a schematic circuit diagram of a so-called H-bridge circuit.
- the motor M1 is connected in the bridge branch between two series-connected transistors T1, T2 and T3, T4.
- a resistor R1 is connected in series with the motor M1.
- the transistors T1 ... T4 may e.g. be designed as a MOS-FET, whereby z.T. are conductive or non-conductive at rest.
- a measurement according to no. 1 takes place at the terminals A and B via the resistor R1, since thus also a rotation of the motor M1 in the short-circuited state can be detected.
- a measurement according to no. 4 makes it possible to detect fluctuations in the collector current. Since the transistors T1... T4 themselves each have an intrinsic resistance in the conducting state, a measurement can be made, for example, via the transistor T2 according to No. 5 (of course also across each other of the transistors T1... T4). So can be used in the simplest way, the intrinsic resistance of the respective transistor T1 ... T4.
- the transistors T2 and T4 are switched to ground in this example.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic block diagram of a Versteilantriebs 7, 8 with a driven member 19 and limit switches S3, S4, S5.
- the driven member 19 is adjustable by the adjustment drive 7, 8 along an adjustment 19b in the direction of the arrow.
- a cam 19a interacts with a limit switch S3 or S5.
- the first difference is that upon actuation of one of the limit switches S3 or S5 in the associated end positions of the output member 19, no opening of the motor circuit of the Versteilantriebs 7, 8 takes place, but the power supply is turned off, the motor M1 is short-circuited and a reference point for the controller or positioning of the output member 19 is reset.
- the limit switches S3 and S5 are involved in a manner not shown in a control circuit of a transistor T1 ... T4 or a changeover S1, S2.
- the limit switches S3 and S5 are designed as a changeover contact, interrupt the motor current when actuated by a switching cam and close the motor when switching the contact briefly, so that unfolds the regenerative braking property of the engine.
- the second difference is formed by at least one third limit switch S4, which is arranged within the adjustment path 19a at a predetermined location, eg in the middle. If this at least one third limit switch S4 is actuated by the cam 19b during the adjustment of the output member 19, then the reference point for the control or positioning of the output member 19 is reset accordingly. In other words, the limit switches S3 and S5 turn off the motor M1 by turning off the power supply, short-circuit it, and reset the reference point. Limit switch S3 resets only the reference point. As a result, an error rate in the positioning of the output member 19 is reduced.
- the limit switches S3, S4 and S5 are designed with NC contacts, the terminals 1 of the NC contacts being connected to one another and to a common limit switch terminal EG.
- the respective terminals 2 of the normally closed contacts of the limit switches S3, S4 and S5 are each separately connected to a limit switch connection E5, E6, E7.
- the limit switch terminals EG, E5, E6, E7 are connected to the control device 9.
- Pulse width ratio of the ripple changed and on the other hand reduce the amplitudes of the ripple. Either no ripple can be counted, or too many ripples are counted. After detailed investigations, it has been found that a specific pulse width ratio, for example of 10/90, forms a critical point.
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic block diagram of a monitoring device 20 according to the invention.
- the monitoring device 20 comprises a filter unit 21 with a pulse shaper 21 a, and a load monitor 22 with a
- Pulse width ratio detector 23 Pulse width ratio detector 23, a comparator 24 and a signal generator 25th
- the filter unit 21 has, for example, two filters as described in DE 10 2009 059 267 A1. As already explained above, the back EMF of the relevant motor M1 is measured via a resistor R1, R2 or / and R3 as a voltage drop at terminals of this resistor on the basis of the motor current flowing through and fed to the filter unit 21.
- the filter unit 21 preferably has two filters. For a description of their function, reference is made to the document DE 10 2009 059 267 A1.
- the output signals of the filter unit 21 are formed by the pulse shaper 21 a here in a rectangular signal. If the associated motor M1 is overloaded, the pulse width ratio of the square-wave signal is considerably reduced, and the frequency also decreases because the rotational speed of the motor M1 decreases. Furthermore, a rectangular-like signal or a slightly distorted square-wave signal can also result, which, however, can be evaluated as a square-wave signal.
- the pulse width ratio detector 23 detects the pulse width ratio of the rectangular signal thus formed, and supplies it to the comparator 24 which supplies it with a predetermined value, e.g. the critical value 10/90, compares. As soon as the detected pulse width ratio in this comparison falls below or exceeds the previously definable value, this is signaled to the signal generator 25 in a corresponding manner. The signal generator 25 then generates corresponding output signals, which it provides at an output 25a for further processing for the associated motor M1.
- a predetermined value e.g. the critical value 10/90
- the further processing of these generated output signals is carried out by the control device 9 in such a way that is throttled acting on the power supply of the associated motor M1.
- This is e.g. realized in that a PWM control of the motor M1 is carried out for throttling or a series resistor is connected upstream of the motor M1.
- This can e.g. be the resistor R3 described above or the inductance described above with a resistance component R3 with the options given here.
- the monitoring device 20 in this example comprises a return monitoring device 26 with a return detection unit 27, which is coupled on the input side to the output of the filter unit 21.
- the motor current can also be detected in the short-circuited state of the motor M1-recordable in accordance with FIG. 4.
- the return detection unit 27 is activated by the control device 9 via a control input 28 when the associated motor M1 is in the short-circuited state.
- the retrace detection unit 27 detects a rotation of the motor shaft of the motor M1 due to detected back EMF, it generates a signal which it provides at an output 29 for further processing, eg for registration or warning.
- the flyback detection unit 27 is equipped with a high gain amplifier to detect even small back EMF magnitudes.
- the monitoring device 20 can be integrated in the positioning device 200 of DE 10 2009 059 267 A1 so that it is provided as an additional unit, wherein it has its own filter unit 21.
- the monitoring device 20 can also be connected to the output of the already existing filter
- Positioning device 200 may be coupled in a corresponding manner, wherein the pulse shaper 21 a is added.
- FIG. 8 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method according to the invention for monitoring a pulse width ratio of an electromotive-type furniture drive 100.
- a back EMF of the relevant motor M1 of the electromotive furniture drive 100 is detected. This is done by measuring a voltage drop across a resistor R1, R2, R3 or a self-resistance of a transistor T1, T2, T3, T4. The respective voltage drop is generated by the motor current of the associated motor M1. The occurring pulses or ripple are transformed by the pulse shaper 21 a into rectangular pulses.
- a pulse width ratio of the thus detected and transformed ripple is detected by the pulse width ratio detector 23 in a second method step V2.
- the pulse width detector 23 generates a corresponding signal for this purpose, which it supplies to the comparator 24 in a previously definable form.
- the comparator 24 compares the signal supplied to it with a pre-definable value, e.g. the critical value 10/90.
- This pre-definable value is provided in such a way that it coincides with that of the
- Pulse width ratio detector 23 supplied signal in a simple and reliable manner by means of the comparator 24 is comparable. As soon as the detected pulse width ratio in this comparison with the comparator 24 exceeds or exceeds the previously definable value, this is done by the comparator 24 in a fourth method step V4 for monitoring the
- Pulse width ratio of the electromotive furniture drive 100 signals to the signal generator 25 in a corresponding manner.
- the signal generator 25 then generates corresponding output signals as described above.
- a load monitor may also detect jamming or overload if a frequency of the ripple falls below a certain value. This can be carried out with the comparator 24.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It is modifiable within the scope of the appended claims. For example, it is conceivable that the motor M1 is completely switched off when the critical pulse width ratio is present. A documentation of these events can be stored in a memory (not shown) and subsequently read out. At the same time an acoustic / optical / haptic message by appropriate reporting devices is possible.
- At least one parameter is permanently detected over the entire adjustment path 19b (FIG. 6) (the ripple frequency and / or the motor current and / or the motor voltage).
- a software writes a table "Traverse as a function of the parameters", so that adjustment ranges with higher force requirement / smoother ranges can be detected,
- the table is a guideline. If the currently determined parameter differs significantly from the table value, then there is probably an overload or trapping case.
- the table can also be preprogrammed and characteristic of a particular piece of furniture.
- Suitable program sections are: according to the pulse width ratio detector 23 described above with detection and evaluation of the pulse width ratio and comparison with a critical value 10/90 here now as a program section for monitoring a
- Pulse width ratio and / or as a program section for load monitoring here according to the filter unit 21 described above now as an image of a calculation routine with at least one mean value calculation; according to the above-described return monitoring device 26 with a return detection unit 27 here now with a calculation routine with a further counting of the Ripplesignale with the engine M1 off; in accordance with the load monitoring described above for detecting a trapping case or an overload here now as a calculation routine with a comparison of predetermined memory values; according to the signal generator 25 described in the introduction, here now as an arithmetic routine for switching a switching or control output of the microcontroller.
