Quite a few schemes have been created to change the power at the load, however, radio amateurs continue to experiment. Although the existing schemes for phase power control, although they attract with their ease of manufacture, they have one significant drawback: with the departure of the voltage amplitude, it is necessary to re-select the triac control elements. In addition, it is not so convenient to regulate the power with a potentiometer; if you need to return to the previously set mode, then you need to connect a voltmeter. Existing discrete control circuits are based on the principle of frequency division, and it is not possible to use such a regulator for incandescent lamps. They are mainly used to control the power of heating elements.

The proposed scheme (Fig. 1) is based on the principle of phase power control at the load in a discrete way.

Consider the operation of the circuit with the switch set to position 10.

The sinusoidal mains voltage (Fig. 2, a) 50 Hz is current-limited by the resistor R1 and rectified by the diode bridge VD1-VD4 (Fig. 2, b), the pulse frequency doubles, the amplitude at the output of the bridge is approximately 1,4 more than the stabilization voltage of the zener diode VD10 , and hence the supply voltage of the microcircuits.

Discrete phase power controller

Sync pulses, limited by resistors R4, R5, are supplied to 1 pin D1.1. At the initial time, pin 1 of the D1.1 chip is a logical zero, as a result, pin 3 of the D1.1 RS flip-flop is a logical unit (Fig. 2, c), which will start the generator on the elements D1.3, D1.4. The generator is tuned to a frequency of 1000 Hz. At the time of connection to the network, 100 Hz pulses, passing through the VD9 diode, will be filtered by the capacitance C2 and stabilized by VD10, the capacitance C3 will start charging, and the counter D2 will be reset. Pulses from the generator will begin to fill the counter D2, after the 10th pulse (Fig. 2, d) a log "11" will appear at pin 2 D1, which will open the transistor VT8 through the resistor R1, as a result of which the optodistor VS1 will be opened and through the diode bridge VD5-VD8 - triac VS2.

The power on the load will be minimal due to the opening of the triac at the end of the period (Fig. 2, e). Simultaneously with the opening of the transistor VT1, the RS-trigger D1, D1.1 will be reset through the capacitor C1.2, and the counter D9 will be reset through the resistor R2. The duration of the reset pulse, as well as the opening of the triac, depend on the ratings of R9, R11, C3.

If the switch SA1 is set to position 1, then the counter will be reset at the first incoming pulse (Fig. 2, f). In this case, the load power will be maximum.

This circuit is shown with one switch and one counter, so the power switching resolution is approximately 10%. For a smoother change in power, it is necessary to install additional meters and switches. All reset inputs are combined, from the output of the first switch, the signal is sent to input "C" of the second counter, etc., from the output of the last switch to resistors R8, R9. It is also necessary to increase the filling frequency of the counters 2, 3, 4 kHz, etc. It is possible to use this circuit to operate at a low voltage of 12 ... 36 V, you only need to change the value of the resistor R1.

The power setting accuracy depends mainly on the frequency drift of the generator.

If greater accuracy is needed, then a crystal oscillator circuit can be recommended (Fig. 3), unless, of course, the instability of the mains voltage in both voltage and frequency is taken into account.

Discrete phase power controller

The device is assembled on a printed circuit board (Fig. 4) with dimensions of 55x80 mm from one-sided foil fiberglass. All parts, except for the switch, are located on the printed circuit board. SA1 is mounted on the front panel of the device.

Discrete phase power controller

The cable connecting the switch to the board must be no longer than 25 cm.

Details. Any triac in this device can be used, since it depends only on the required regulated power. The design was tested using TO125-12,5 optothyristors. To do this, the LEDs of the optothyristors were connected in series, and the output thyristors were connected in antiparallel, the resistor R6 was replaced by a 220 Ohm resistor. Any VD10 zener diode for a stabilization voltage of 9 ... 15 V. It is possible to replace the 561 series microcircuits with 176 series microcircuits, you just need to set the zener diode to a stabilization voltage of 9 V. It is desirable to use C4 with the least temperature drift. VT1 any of the KT315, KT3102 series. Diodes VD1-VD4, VD9 for voltage 50...300 V and current 100...300 mA. Diodes VD5-VD8 for a voltage of at least 300 V. SA1 of any 1 group with 10 positions.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

New Toshiba Robot Vacuum Cleaners 29.08.2014

In September, the Japanese corporation Toshiba will start selling new robotic vacuum cleaners of the Torneo Robo series, which are characterized by an improved design and enhanced dust and debris collection capabilities.

In total, the novelties are equipped with 27 different sensors, which include numerous ultrasonic and infrared sensors. They help to identify walls, interior items and various obstacles, including objects made of glass. In addition, thanks to sensors, the robot can maintain a constant distance to walls when moving along them, as well as detect sudden changes in height and prevent tipping over (for example, from a ladder).

New vacuum cleaners received side brushes with extended bristles, which allows you to collect more dirt. The rotating brushes are height adjustable for maximum efficiency in picking up debris and dust on a variety of surfaces.

The new series includes the VC-RCX1, VC-RVD1 and VC-RV1 models. The first two come with a charging dock equipped with a waste container. Thus, during recharging, the dirt accumulated in the vacuum cleaner is transferred to a stationary tank, which ensures a constant suction power.

The VC-RCX1 version also has a built-in camera and Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing you to control the operation using your smartphone or tablet.

The VC-RCX1, VC-RVD1, and VC-RV1 robot vacuum cleaners will cost approximately $1150, $860, and $720, respectively.
