21 Relay drive circuit US11638365 2006-12-14 US20070146959A1 2007-06-28 Manabu Morita
A potential of an end of the coil is inputted to a plate-OFF detecting portion which detects OFF-tendency in which a plate of a relay is about to get apart from a head of a core of the relay. When the OFF-tendency is detected, a coil current for supplying a coil of the relay is set to a first current value with which a plate of an electromagnetic relay is drawn and a movable contact of the relay comes in contact with a fixed contact of the relay. When an external disturbance ends, the coil current is returned to a second current value, which is smaller than the first current value, so that the movable contact and the fixed contact are kept in contact with each other.

A driver circuit and a diagnostic method are provided. The driver circuit includes a first voltage driver, a second voltage driver, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor generates a first pulse width modulated signal to induce the first voltage driver to output a second pulse width modulated signal to energize a contactor coil. The microprocessor sets a first diagnostic flag equal to a first value if a first filtered voltage value is greater than a first threshold value. The microprocessor sets a second diagnostic flag equal to a second value if a first filtered current value is less than a threshold value. The microprocessor stops generating the first pulse width modulated signal to de-energize the contactor coil if the first and second diagnostic flags are set equal to the first and second values, respectively.

An electrical contactor has first and second contacts movably mounted to engage for achieving continuity in an electrical circuit, via an electromagnet and armature defining a magnetic circuit with an air gap that closes in a first position of the contactor and opens in a second position of the contactor. A controller switches an alternating current voltage to the coil of the electromagnet during a timed portion of each AC half cycle, and senses the current level in the coil in a feedback loop. The controller adjusts the voltage-on time to achieve a predetermined average current as needed for accelerating the armature or coasting during a closing operation, for holding the armature in place when closed, etc. In order to sense whether the contactor is presently open or closed, the controller monitors and stores the phase angle between the previous voltage zero crossing and the time of voltage turn-on. When the inductance of the magnetic circuit including the electromagnet and armature changes rapidly due to opening or closing of the air gap between them, the controller detects a corresponding variation in the phase angle. The controller is preferably a microprocessor, programmed to normalize the phase angle over a range of coil drive voltages. The microprocessors of a number of such contactors can communicate in order to effect coordinated operations.

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relay driving circuit capable of restraining an electromagnetic relay from being switched off by an external disturbance, and reducing power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: A potential on the low end side of a coil 4a is inputted to a plate-OFF detecting portion 16, and OFF-tendency in which a plate is about to get apart from the head of a core is detected based on the change of this potential. When the OFF-tendency is detected, the coil is fully energized to momentarily change a current Ir passed to the coil 4a to the maximum value, and when the external disturbance ends, the coil current is again returned to a holding current. Thereby, the electromagnetic relay 4 can be prevented from being accidentally switched off by a sudden external disturbance without continuing to pass a holding current having a magnitude taking into consideration the external disturbance. Accordingly, the electromagnetic relay 4 is restrained from being switched off by the external disturbance, and the relay driving circuit 1 capable of reducing power consumption can be obtained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PURPOSE: To sense an open or closed state of an electromagnetic contact by monitoring inductance of a magnetic circuit changing according to a clearance between an armature and a coil forming an electromagnetic circuit. CONSTITUTION: A controller 62 makes an armature 24 accelerate or coast when a contact is closed, and also adjusts a voltage applying time to a coil 23 so that a fixed current to hold the armature 24 in the position when a contact is closed can be required. To sense whether a contactor is at an open position or a closed position, the controller 62 monitors and memorizes a phase angle between a previous voltage zero crossing point 80 and a voltage applying start point. When inductance of a magnet circuit is suddenly changed due to opening or closing a clearance between the armature 24 and a coil, the controller 62 detects corresponding movement of the phase angle to compare the stored data.

The present invention discloses a driver circuit and a diagnostic method. The driver circuit includes a first voltage driver, a second voltage driver, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor generates a first pulse-width modulated signal inducing the first voltage driver to output a second pulse-width modulated signal energizing a contactor coil. The microprocessor sets a first diagnostic flag equal to a first value if a first filtered voltage value is greater than a first threshold value. The microprocessor sets a second diagnostic flag equal to a second value if a second filtered current value is greater than a second threshold value. The microprocessor stops generating the first pulse-width modulated signal to de-energize the contactor coil if the first and second diagnostic flags are set equal to the first and second values, respectively.
