The present invention relates to a PWM drive device for driving a solenoid valve with a PWM generator.

<従来技術> 電磁弁をPWM発生装置で駆動するPWM駆動装置の従来例

<Prior Art> FIG. 6 shows a conventional example of a PWM drive device that drives a solenoid valve by a PWM generator.

In the figure, 1 is an input device that receives a target command value from a person or a command device, 2 is a PWM generator that receives a signal from the input device 1 and generates a PWM signal, and 3 is an electromagnetic device that operates by receiving a PWM signal. The valves 4 are actuators operated by the working fluid controlled by the solenoid valve 3.

Now, when the solenoid valve 3 is turned on and off within one PWM cycle as shown in FIG. 7 based on the PWM signal from the PWM generator 2, this switching causes a change in the flow rate of the working fluid, which results in a load. In the actuator 4 including, the speed change Δv 1 occurs. If the PWM drive device at this time is a device that grips an object such as a manipulator, if the speed change Δv 1 of the actuator 4 due to a change in the flow rate of the working fluid is large, a problem such as the object being gripped may occur However, the gripping characteristics are adversely affected.

On the other hand, the conventional measures tried to suppress the fluctuation due to the change in the flow rate of the working fluid by speeding up the PWM cycle, but especially for large flow rate, the PWM cycle that requires the switching time of the solenoid valve 3 is realized. It was not practically possible, so it was difficult in practice. It is also possible to connect an accumulator to the pipeline to suppress changes in the flow rate of the working fluid, but the response of the system deteriorates, and this is also not practical.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Therefore, a servo valve is generally used, but a D / A converter, a servo amplifier, etc. are required, and the interface with the control device is complicated and expensive. I'm going out. The servo valve also requires cleaning management of the working fluid by the filter. Therefore, it is desired to suppress the fluctuation due to the change in the flow rate of the working fluid by using the solenoid valve.

<Operation> Since the present invention is configured as described above, the function of one solenoid valve can be achieved by the cooperation utilizing the phase difference of the plurality of solenoid valves. Each can be set to a smaller capacity in the one solenoid valve described above, which allows faster PWM in the solenoid valve described above.
The cycle can be obtained, and the change in the flow rate of the working fluid can be suppressed. Further, when the duty is a predetermined value, only some of the solenoid valves are turned on to supply only the flow rate by the solenoid valve, whereby the change in the flow rate at the predetermined value can be prevented.

FIG. 1 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing an embodiment of the PWM drive device of the present invention. In this figure, 1 is an input device for receiving a target command value from a person or a command device, and 4 is an actuator, which are equivalent to those shown in FIG. 6 described above. Reference numeral 2a is a PWM generator that receives a signal from the input device 1 and generates a PWM signal. Reference numerals 5 and 6 are solenoid valves arranged in parallel between the PWM generator 2a and the actuator 4, for example, two solenoid valves. The capacity of each of the solenoid valves 5 and 6 is
It is set to, for example, half the capacity of the solenoid valve 3 shown in FIG. The PWM generator 2a described above is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, the command value from the input device 1 is processed by the CPU 11 with the RAM 9 or the like as a work area by a program incorporated in the ROM 7. Based on this processing, the CPU 11 turns on and off the interface 8, for example,
This is amplified by the driver circuit 10 and transmitted to the solenoid valves 5 and 6. This PWM generator 2a is provided with means for setting the signals given to the solenoid valves 5 and 6 so as to have a phase difference. It is set to give a signal. Further, this PWM generator 2a turns on the solenoid valves 5 and 6 at a predetermined PWM cycle.
N, the ratio of ON time when OFF, that is, the duty corresponds to a predetermined value, for example, the ratio of the flow rate of one solenoid valve 5 to some solenoid valves to the sum of the flow rates of the two solenoid valves 5 and 6. It is provided with a means for determining whether the value is about%, and turning on only the solenoid valve 5 when the value is the predetermined value.

First, a timer that determines one PWM cycle is started, the target command value from the input device 1 is fetched, the duty is calculated, and if the duty is not zero, the solenoid valve 5 is turned on. Next, determine whether the duty is near 50%. Note that ε in FIG. 3 is a value that determines how much range before and after the duty is 50% is determined as the output flow rate 50%, and can take a desired value depending on the intention of the person who sets it. Then, when the duty is near 50%, only the solenoid valve 5 is opened and the solenoid valve 6 is kept closed until the end of one PWM cycle. This results in an output flow rate of 50% even if the duty is not completely 50%. When the duty is not near 50%, the phase difference between the solenoid valve 5 and the solenoid valve 6 is 180 degrees, so it is determined whether or not it is half of one PWM cycle and the solenoid valve 6 is turned on. Also, based on the calculated duty, the solenoid valves 5, 6
To OFF. In this way, the duty is calculated from the target command value, the solenoid valves 5 and 6 are turned on while comparing with the timer,
OFF control.

FIG. 4 shows how the speed of the actuator 4 changes when the duty is less than 50%. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the speed change Δv 2 is significantly smaller than in the conventional case, and the fluctuation of the working fluid is suppressed. In this embodiment, since the solenoid valves 5 and 6 having a capacity of half the total flow rate required for the actuator 4 are used, when the duty is less than 50%, one solenoid valve 5 is connected to the sixth valve.
The same characteristics can be obtained as when driving the solenoid valve 3 shown in the figure by halving the PWM cycle and doubling the duty. Moreover, since the solenoid valve 5 having a small flow rate is used, the solenoid valve 5 can be switched and driven at a PWM cycle faster than that of the solenoid valve 3 having a large flow rate shown in FIG. Fluctuations can be reduced.

また、デユーテイが50%の近傍では1つの電磁弁5だ

Further, in the vicinity of the duty of 50%, only one solenoid valve 5 is opened, so that the working fluid does not fluctuate.

When the duty exceeds 50%, the solenoid valve 5 is held in the open state as shown in FIG. 5, and the solenoid valve 6 is halved the PWM cycle of the solenoid valve 3 shown in FIG. The characteristics are the same as when the value obtained by subtracting 50% is doubled, and the variation of the working fluid due to switching of the solenoid valve 6 can be reduced as in the case where the duty is less than 50%.

As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the working fluid at the time of switching by the solenoid valves 5 and 6 without providing an expensive and complicated servo valve.
Further, when the duty is in the vicinity of 50%, only the solenoid valve 5 is opened, so that the fluctuation of the working fluid at this time can be prevented. It is desirable that the phase difference of the solenoid valve is approximately 360 degrees / (number of solenoid valves).

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, since a plurality of solenoid valves are connected in parallel and their PWM cycles are the same and the phases are different, the flow rate of the working fluid can be increased without providing an expensive servo valve. Fluctuations can be suppressed, and therefore suppression of speed changes of the actuator can be realized at low cost. Further, since a means for turning on only some of the solenoid valves when the duty is a predetermined value is provided, fluctuations in the flow rate of the working fluid can be prevented and a speed change of the actuator may occur at the predetermined value. Instead, it is possible to realize highly accurate work with the actuator.
