In this transistor-controlled capacitor discharge circuit system, switching transistors Tr1 and Tr2 and current control charging resistors R1 and R2 are inserted into the charging circuit part of the capacitor discharge circuit.
Charging of the capacitor C can be controlled by turning on and off the switching transistors Tr1 and Tr2, and the repetition frequency of discharge can be indirectly increased according to the state of the gap between the electrodes. Further, when a discharge current flows, the transistors Tr1 and Tr2 are turned off and control is performed to prevent the flow from the DC power supply side between the electrodes, so that transition to arc discharge can be prevented. This circuit configuration has the advantage of being able to obtain a current pulse with a narrow pulse width and high peak value due to the simple structure of a capacitor circuit, and also has the advantage of being easy to control over a wide range of transistor discharge circuits. Widely used in processing machines. Furthermore, in this circuit, the electrical discharge machining section 1
The state between the two electrodes is monitored. In other words, the detection voltage Eg obtained by dividing the voltage between the poles by the voltage dividing resistor R3 and the voltage dividing resistor R4 is input to one side of the comparator 13, and the
Input the reference voltage Vr to the other side of 3, for example,
When the gap between the poles is shorted, the detection voltage Eg becomes lower than the reference voltage Vr, so the comparator 13 is configured to output an output signal that detects that the gap between the poles is shorted.

(Problems with the prior art) However, in the conventional electrical discharge machining power supply circuit system, for example, when the voltage applied between the poles of the electrical discharge machining section 12 is large, the conventional resistive voltage dividing system A high voltage is applied to the terminal, and if the voltage is small, the voltage will drop too much. Also,
There was a restriction that the voltage applied between the electrodes had to have a constant polarity, which caused a problem in the short state detection circuit between the electrodes.

With this configuration, the electrical discharge machining section 1
When a high voltage is applied between the two poles, the voltage input to the absolute value circuit ABS is a Zener diode.
Clamped at ZD1 and ZD2. In addition, in the present invention, in order to easily configure the absolute value circuit,
An OP amp is used. Of course it's a semiconductor, so
There is a limit to the voltage that can be applied, generally +15V
~-15V. Therefore, when using a voltage higher than this range, the input voltage to the OP amplifier must be within the above range. A simple method is to divide the voltage using resistors, but with this method, the voltage will be low even when the input voltage is low and can be used as is.

However, in the present invention, the Zener diode is not turned on or clamped until a certain voltage (Zener voltage) is reached, so the input voltage can be used as is. Therefore, low-level detection can be performed stably within the range where the Zener diode turns on. Furthermore, when the voltage between electrodes is small, the voltage does not drop too much as in the conventional resistance voltage division method.

By the way, when the short state occurs, the absolute value circuit
ABS input becomes zero. Furthermore, absolute value circuit ABS
can output a unidirectional voltage even if a positive voltage or a negative voltage is applied between the electrodes. The output from this absolute value circuit ABS is input to a smoothing circuit 16, and the smoothing circuit 16 smoothes the inter-electrode voltage that is applied in a pulsed manner. Further, this smoothing circuit 16 is selected to have a large CR time constant so as not to respond to shoots that occur instantaneously during electrical discharge machining. The output of this smoothing circuit 16 is input to one side of the comparator 13, and is compared with the reference voltage Vr input to the other side. This comparator 13 determines whether the gap between the electrodes of the electrical discharge machining section 12 is in a shot state.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a resistor and a Zener diode are provided in parallel between the poles of the electric discharge machining section, an absolute value circuit is provided between the Zener diode and the resistor, and the output is output through the absolute value circuit. Since the output voltage and the reference voltage are compared with a comparator to determine whether or not the shot state is present, the shot state can be reliably determined regardless of the magnitude or positive or negative of the voltage applied between the poles of the electrical discharge machining section. Detection can be performed. In addition, especially when the voltage between electrodes in the electrical discharge machining section is high, a fail-safe function can be activated to lower the voltage using a Zener diode. Further, due to the effect of suppressing abnormality detection signals by the Zener diode and the absolute value circuit, it is possible to extend the life of various circuit elements of this short detection circuit.
