The proposed trinistor power controller (Fig. 1), specially designed to control a collector motor (electric drill, fan, etc.), has some features. Firstly, an electric motor with a power trinistor is included in one of the diagonals of the rectifier bridge, and mains voltage is applied to the other. In addition, this trinistor is controlled not by short pulses, as in traditional devices, but by wider ones, due to which short-term load interruptions, typical for a running collector motor, do not affect the stability of the regulator.

A generator of short (fractions of milliseconds) positive pulses is assembled on a unijunction transistor, used to control the auxiliary trinistor VS1. The generator is powered by a trapezoidal voltage obtained by limiting the positive half-waves of a sinusoidal voltage following at a frequency of 1 Hz by the zener diode VD100. With the advent of each half-wave of such a voltage, capacitor C1 begins to charge through a circuit of resistors R1 R3. The charging rate of the capacitor can be adjusted within certain limits by a variable resistor R1.

As soon as the voltage on the capacitor reaches the threshold of the transistor (it depends on the voltage at the bases of the transistor and can be regulated by resistors R4 and R5), a positive pulse appears on the resistor R5, which then arrives at the control electrode of the trinistor VS1. This trinistor opens, and a longer (compared to the control) pulse that appears on the resistor R6 turns on the power trinistor VS2. Through it, the supply voltage is supplied to the electric motor M1.

The moment of opening the control and power trinistors, and hence the power at the load (in other words, the speed of the motor shaft) is regulated by a variable resistor R1.

Since an inductive load is included in the anode circuit of the SCR VS2, spontaneous opening of the SCR can be observed even without a signal on the control electrode. To avoid this, a VD2 diode is connected in parallel with the excitation winding L of the electric motor.

In addition to that indicated in the diagram, the auxiliary trinistor VS1 can be another low-power one, with a permissible forward voltage of at least 100 V; trinistor VS2 - KU202M. KU201K. KU201L; zener diode - with a stabilization voltage of 27 ... 36 V; diode VD2 - any rectifier with a current of at least 0,3 A and a reverse voltage of more than 400 V; diodes VD3 ... VD6 - designed for a rectified current more than the starting current of the electric motor and a reverse voltage of at least 400 V. Variable resistor - SP-1, constant - MLT-0.25 (R2 ... R6) and MLT-2 (R7), capacitor - KM-6.

The details of the regulator, except for the variable resistor and the VD2 diode (it is installed on the electric motor), are mounted on a foil fiberglass board. Hollow rivets are installed on the board at points 1 ... 3, to which the conductors from the variable resistor and the electric motor are subsequently soldered. A board with a variable resistor is placed in a case of a suitable size, on the wall of which you can install a socket for connecting an electric motor.

When adjusting the regulator, they use a stroboscope that measures the rotational speed of an electric drill cartridge or a fan impeller, or an AC voltmeter (preferably an electromagnetic or electrodynamic system) connected in parallel with the load. First, the resistor R2 is set with a resistance of 30 kOhm, and instead of R3, a variable resistor with a resistance of 220 kOhm is included. By moving the resistor slider from one extreme position to another, note the change in voltage at the load. Using resistor R3, set the adjustment range of this voltage to 90 ... 220 V, after which the resulting resistance of resistor R3 is measured and a constant resistor of the same or possibly close value is soldered into the board .

If the motor is unstable at the minimum supply voltage, a resistor R2 with a lower resistance is installed.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Robot lizard travels through the sand 05.04.2013

A robot lizard with C-shaped legs, created by a group of American scientists, can become a champion in moving on sand, gravel and other loose surfaces. In addition, it will help scientists in creating a full-fledged mathematical theory that describes movement on surfaces with the properties of both a liquid and a solid body.

In an article published in the journal Science, Daniel Goldman of the Georgia Institute of Technology and his colleagues note that movement on a loose surface is mathematically more complex than movement in a liquid. Scientists have developed the basic provisions of "terradynamics" and tested them in the experiment: using a 3D printer, they printed various forms of "legs" for an experimental robot weighing about 150 g.

“While the legs are convex, the robot has a large step with little body resistance, and therefore it can run fast. When the shape of the robot’s limbs is flat or concave, the performance drops,” Goldman cites the article. According to him, during the experiments it became clear that the laws of this movement are common to all loose media, including those consisting of poppy seeds, glass beads or natural sand.

Scientists believe that the advantageous form of limbs they have found for a robot can later be used to create a promising apparatus for search and rescue operations, as well as in the study of Mars.
