Research on Push-Pull Energy Storage PWM Power Drive of High-Power High-Response Proportional Solenoid

Abstract

As the traditional power drive circuit is difficult to meet the requests of high-power high-frequency proportional solenoid fast drive, this paper proposes a push-pull energy storage pulse width modulation (PWM) power drive circuit. The circuit is equipped with an energy storage module, which releases energy when the proportional solenoid coil is charged, supplements the output of the power supply current, and shortens the arrival time of the steady-state current. When the coil is discharged, it recovers energy and shortens the time for the coil current to return to zero. In this paper, a theoretical model of push-pull energy storage power drive circuit is established, and simulation analysis and experimental verification are carried out for a proportional solenoid coil with rated current of 3.3A and power of 79W. The results show that the push-pull storage PWM power drive has excellent input-output linearity, minimal ripple, and good steady-state current output performance. Compared with the traditional single switch and reverse discharging power drives, the coil charging speed under the push-pull energy storage type power drive is increased by 25%, and the discharge speed is increased by 95% and 45% respectively.
