The invention relates to a voice coil motor, in particular to a voice coil motor having thrust compensation function and a corresponding drive circuit.
The voice coil motor (VCM) is a motor designed according to Lorentz force theory and used for directly switching the electrical signal into the beeline displacement without any intermediate switching mechanism. Compared with other motors, the voice coil motor has a plurality of advantages, such as simple structure, small volume, light weight, low inertia and larger than thrust, etc., so that it has broad application prospects, which is mainly applied to the positioning systems with high precision, high frequency excitation, speediness and high acceleration, optics and measurement systems, optical assembly and aviation.
At present, the design scheme of the servo drive controller of the voice coil motor in the ultra-high precision servo control field is divided into linear power amplifier scheme and PWM (pulse width modulation) power converter scheme. When the ultra-high precision servo system adopts the linear power amplifier scheme to design, the current response is fast, the thrust ripple of the system produced by the on-off chopped wave of the switch is eliminated, and the stability of the output thrust is improved. But when the system adopts the linear power amplifier scheme, firstly the current response has overshoot problem and the nonlinear region while the current leaps. Secondly the design of the controller is greatly limited, and the high performance is difficult to control. When the ultra-high precision servo system adopts the linear power amplifier scheme to design, heat dissipated by the system components is large, and more energy is lost. One of the important development directions of the ultra precision positioning servo system is high overload and high acceleration, undoubtedly the power grade requirement of the element is higher, so that the linear power amplifier scheme is increasingly difficult to meet the power requirements of the ultra-high precision servo control system.
But when the ultra-high precision servo system adopts the PWM power converter scheme to design, because the control signal of the system is controlled by a digital processing unit, the design of the control system of the servo control system of the voice coil motor is more flexible, the drive performance of the system can be controlled by using more complex control methods, at the same time, the system has the advantages of fast response speed and high efficiency. But the PWM power converter scheme has some shortcomings. Firstly because the on-off chopped wave of the switch inevitably produces the current ripple in the system, and then the thrust ripple (the thrust ripple produced by the on-off chopped wave of the switch in the system is generally called thrust ripple below) caused by the current ripple greatly influences the control performance of the servo drive control system of the ultra-high precision voice coil motor. Secondly when the system adopts the PWM power converter scheme, the dead time set for preventing the direct connection of the upper and lower bridge arms of the switch circuit causes the instability phenomenon in the drive system.
At present, to reduce the thrust ripple produced in the system in the PWM power converter scheme, the high switching-frequency drive method is accepted. For example, to reduce the thrust ripple, the designer ascends the switching frequency of the switch to 200 kHz, at the moment, compared with the 10 kHz switching frequency adopted by the drive control system of the traditional servo motor, the thrust ripple of the system is reduced to 5% of original, but at the same time, because the switching frequency of the switch is ascended 20 times from the original, the switching loss of the switch is ascended 20 times from the original, simultaneously because the switching frequency of the switch ascends, the requirements of the switch are improved, and the cost of the drive system is increased. If the switching frequency is ascended, the control difficulty of the control system and the design difficult of the drive circuit of the drive system rise, and the stability of the system is greatly reduced.
In accordance with the former analysis, when the servo control system of the voice coil motor adopts the traditional PWM power converter scheme, the system structure sketch thereof is shown in
The traditional servo adopts the switching frequency below 10 kHz, and the output thrust of the servo drive system of the voice coil motor is shown in
As shown in
In accordance with the current conventional method for solving the output thrust ripple of the system, when the switching frequency of the drive circuit of the system is increased to 200 kHz, the simulation waveform of the output thrust of the system is shown in
It is observed that the fluctuation range of the output thrust of the system is 6.9954N-6.6935N when the switching frequency of the drive circuit of the system is increased to 200 kHz, the peak value of the output thrust ripple is 0.3019N, and the output thrust ripple is reduced to 5% of original compared with the 10 kHz switching frequency.
Based on the influence of the system applied by the thrust ripple when the servo drive control system of the voice coil motor in the ultra-high precision servo control field adopts the PWM power converter control scheme, the following scheme is designed in this invention to effectively reduce the thrust ripple of the system by continuously improving the PWM switching frequency when the system adopts the PWM power converter control scheme, improve the working performance of the system, reduce the design difficulty of the drive circuit of the system and strengthen the stability of the system, and reduce the system loss.
One purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the current technology, provide a new system for eliminating or avoiding the influence of the system applied by the thrust ripple which is produced when the system adopts the PWM power converter control scheme.
Based on the purpose above, the invention discloses a thrust compensation system of a dual-winding voice coil motor, including a voice coil motor, wherein the voice coil motor includes main windings, a magnetic steel and a permanent magnet, and further includes secondary windings arranged between a pair of main windings of the voice coil motor; the main windings are the main working windings of the voice coil motor, driven by a switch drive circuit of the main windings which is powered by an independent controlled voltage source, and used for providing the electromagnetic force required by the driving system of the voice coil motor in work; the secondary windings are compensation windings, driven by a switch drive circuit of the secondary windings which is powered by one independent controlled voltage source, and used for providing the thrust ripple opposite to the main windings so as to compensate the thrust ripple of the main windings and then keep the resultant force of the output of the main windings and the secondary windings of the voice coil motor in constant;
wherein the voltages Udc1 and Udc2 of the controlled voltage sources of the main windings and the second windings meet
wherein the parameters of the secondary windings meet the following relation:

Preferably the size of the resistance R2 of the secondary windings is adjustable, so that the thrust ripple of the system can be perfectly reduced while the big average thrust can be kept at the same time.
The system can be switched into different work modes by adjusting the resistance value of R2 to apply to different application environments.
What's further, the value of the resistance R2 of the secondary windings is proportional to the resistance value R1 of the main windings.
Preferably the ratio of the resistance R2 of the secondary windings to the resistance value R1 of the main windings is proportional to the ratio of the inductance value of the secondary windings to the inductance value of the main windings, and the proportion factor is larger than 1.
Preferably drive circuits of the main windings and the secondary windings are H-shaped full-bridge drive circuits.
In this invention, the synthetic output thrust produced by the main windings and the second windings of the servo system of the voice coil motor is kept in constant, so the high precision servo control of the voice coil motor is realized when the system is under the low switching frequency, the flexibility of the system control is improved, the control system can use a plurality of complex intelligent control strategies, the control performance of the system is effectively improved, the stability of the drive control system is improved, and the cost of the drive controller is reduced.
To overcome the influence of the servo performance of the system caused by the thrust ripple produced when the servo drive control system of the voice coil motor in the current ultra-high precision servo control field adopts the PWM power converter scheme, the invention provides a new voice coil motor structure and a drive control scheme of the corresponding servo drive control system. In the scheme, the thrust ripple of the servo system of the voice coil motor is greatly reduced, the ultra-high precision control of the servo drive control system of the voice coil motor when the system is in the low switching frequency, the stability of the system is improved, the system loss is reduced, and the cost of the drive controller is greatly reduced.
In the invention, the technical scheme for solving the technical problems thereof is as follows: an auxiliary secondary compensation winding at the other side of the main winding of the voice coil motor, and then the secondary winding produces the thrust ripple completely opposite to the main winding, so that the thrust ripples produced by the main windings and the secondary windings of the voice coil motor can be canceled each other out through the secondary windings. In the PWM power converter scheme, the synthetic output thrust produced by the main windings and the secondary windings of the servo system of the voice coil motor is constant, so that the ultra-high precision servo control of the voice coil motor in the low switching frequency is realized, the flexibility of the system control is enhanced, the control system can use multiple complex intelligent control strategies, the control performance of the system is effectively improved, the stability of the drive control system is improved, and the cost of the drive controller is reduced.
The distribution and the design of the main and secondary windings 100, 200 are related to the electrical time constant of each set of the windings required by the drive control system and the distribution of the air-gap field of the motor.
The winding method of the windings 100, 200 is divided into the layered type or the joint filling type. For example,
As shown in
As shown in
In the scheme of the invention, the secondary windings 200 are electrified after introduced to the voice coil motor so as to produce the thrust ripple opposite to the main windings 100, therefore the thrust ripple of the main windings can be compensated. The wavelength theory of the thrust ripple applied on the main windings 100 by the secondary windings 200 is shown in
Next, embodiments implementing the drive circuit of the first dual-winding voice coil motor are described in details.
As shown in
Based on the guarantee that the output thrust of the main windings and the output thrust of the second windings are ascended and descended synchronously, to completely compensate the thrust ripple of the main windings applied by the secondary windings, the secondary windings need to produce the thrust ripple of which the size is the same as the main windings and the direction is opposite at any time. Because the output thrust of the main winding is proportional to the current of the main windings, the proportion factor is the thrust coefficient Kf1 of the main windings; because the output thrust of the secondary windings is proportional to the current of the secondary windings, the proportion factor is the thrust coefficient Kf2 of the main windings. To compensate the thrust ripple of the main windings by the thrust ripple of the secondary windings a any time, the current ripple of the main windings is effectively compensated by adjusting the current ripple of the secondary windings. After the differential equations of the main windings and the secondary windings in different states are analyzed, in the condition that the inductances L1, L2 of the main windings and the secondary windings of the voice coil motor are definite, the voltage values Udc1 and Udc2 of the DC voltage sources of the main-winding drive circuit 800 and the secondary-winding drive circuit 900 mainly influence peak-to-peak value of the current ripple of the windings within the switching-on or off period of the drive circuit, and the resistances R1, R2 of the windings mainly influence the current change trend of the windings within the switching-on or off period of the drive circuit.
To ensure that the secondary windings 200 can completely compensate the thrust ripple of the main windings 100 at any time, in accordance with the solution of the differential equations of the main windings 100 and the secondary windings 200, the resistance R2 of the secondary windings 200 can be obtained, and the voltage Udc2 of the DC voltage source of the drive circuit of the secondary windings shall meet the conditions below.
in the formula,
Udc1 stands for the voltage value of the power supply of the drive circuit of the main windings;
Udc2 stands for the voltage value of the power supply of the drive circuit of the secondary windings;
R1 stands for the resistance value of the main windings;
R2 stands for the resistance value of the secondary windings;
L1 stands for the self-inductance value of the main windings;
L2 stands for the self-inductance value of the secondary windings;
M stands for the mutual inductance value of the main windings and the secondary windings;
Kf1 stands for the thrust coefficient of the main windings;
Kf2 stands for the thrust coefficient of the secondary windings;
The secondary windings and the drive circuit thereof can be designed according to formulae (1.1) and formula (1.2), so that the dual-winding thrust compensation system can eliminate the ripple of the output thrust, realize the design target that the output resultant force of the main windings and the secondary windings is kept in constant, and improve the servo working performance of the system.
When adopting the dual-winding thrust compensation system designed in the embodiment 1, the drive circuit of the system adopts the 10 kHz switching frequency used by the conventional servo system, at the moment, the thrust simulation waveform of the system is shown in
As shown in the simulation waveform diagrams, the secondary windings can effectively compensate the output thrust of the main windings, so that the output thrust ripple of the servo drive system of the voice coil motor is greatly reduced, and the resultant force of the output thrust of the main windings and the secondary windings can be kept in constant. As shown in the partial enlarged views
But the embodiment still has some shortcomings. As shown in
In this way, when the servo system of the voice coil motor is applied to the ultra-high precision servo field, because of the steep requirements of the output thrust ripple of the motor, the parameters of the driver must be precisely designed according to the driver parameter design formula (1.1) and (1.2) discussed in the embodiment, therefore, the servo system of the voice coil motor can obtain the smallest thrust ripple, which may cause large design workload.
As the improvement of the scheme in the embodiment, the second embodiment is described in the invention.
In the embodiment, when the requirements of the output thrust ripple of the voice coil motor required by the application fields and occasions of the servo system of the voice coil motor are not particularly harsh, if the parameter design of the secondary windings of the motor in the embodiment 1 is changed, the reduction of the average thrust of the main windings applied by the secondary windings is reduced while the compensation effect of the thrust ripple of the main windings applied by the secondary windings, so that a new balance point of the resultant force of the output thrust of the main windings and the secondary windings of the voice coil motor is obtained between the thrust ripple and the average thrust: the thrust ripple is perfectly reduced, and the large average thrust is remained.
Seem from the analysis above, in the dual-winding motor system, the thrust ripple of the windings is proportional to the current ripple of the windings, and the average output thrust of the windings is proportional to the average current of the windings. In the dual-winding thrust compensation system shown in the embodiment, the voltage values of the DC voltage sources Udc1 and Udc2 of the drive circuits 800, 900 of the windings mainly influence the peak-to-peak value of the current ripple of the windings within the switching-on or off period of the drive circuit, and the resistances R1, R2 of the windings mainly influence the current change trend of the windings within the switching-on or off period of the drive circuit. So when the resistance R2 of the secondary windings 200 and the power supplies of the drive circuits are designed according to formulae (1.1) and (1.2), the secondary windings 200 can perfectly compensate the thrust ripple of the main windings at any time.
But the result is that the average thrust is greatly reduced while the secondary windings greatly reduces the thrust ripple of the main windings. The reduction degree of the average thrust of the main windings applied by the secondary windings is greatly influenced by the resistance R2 of the secondary windings and the voltage Udc2 of the drive circuit of the secondary windings.
So based on the applications that the requirements of the output thrust ripple of the voice coil motor required by the application fields and occasions of the servo system of the voice coil motor are not particularly harsh, in the embodiment, the embodiment 1 is improved by compromise, namely in the condition that the voltage Udc2 of the drive circuit of the secondary windings is not changed, by a manner of adjusting the resistance R2 of the secondary windings, the big average thrust can be remained in the system while the thrust ripple is reduced.
At the moment, the schematic view of the output thrust of the main windings and the secondary windings is shown in
As shown in
After the state equations of the dual-winding system in the embodiment 1 are analyzed and solved, in the condition that the power supply Udc2 of the drive circuit of the secondary winding meets the formula (1.1), the resistance R2 of the secondary windings can be adjusted according to the method shown in the formula (1.3),
in the formula, A>1.
At the moment, in the condition that the requirements of the output thrust ripple of the drive system of the voice coil motor are not strict, a proper average solution between the thrust ripple of the motor and the average thrust of the motor can be obtained in the system, which not only reduces the thrust ripple, but also remains the average thrust.
The accuracy and rationality of the theoretical analysis are verified through the simulation test. For the same voice coil motor, when the scheme in the embodiment is adopted and A=9, the simulation waveform of the output thrust of the system is shown in
As shown in
It is observed that after the resistance R2 of the secondary windings 200 is adjusted, the compensation effect of the thrust ripple of the dual-winding thrust compensation system is reduced, but the average output thrust of the dual-winding thrust compensation system is obviously improved, which is 6.85 times larger than the average output thrust in the embodiment and then adapts to the servo application fields of which requirements on the thrust ripple are not strict.
In conclusion, the embodiments are better ones in this invention only, and not used to limit the implementation scope of the invention. All changes and decorations done within the patent application scope belong to the technical field of the invention.
Seen from the analysis of the embodiment 1 above, in the embodiment 1, the average output thrust of the motor is obviously reduced while the thrust ripple of the voice coil motor is precisely compensated. When the requirements of the thrust ripple required by the servo system of the voice coil motor are not strict, the embodiment 2 can be adopted, the average output thrust of the system can be improved by adjusting the resistance of the secondary windings, but the consequences are that the compensation effect of the thrust ripple applied by the secondary windings is reduced, and the thrust ripple of the servo system is increased.
