Detailed Description
The embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the invention can be embodied in many different forms, which are defined and covered by the following description.
For easy understanding, as shown in fig. 3, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method for performing a wide range of B-H loop measurement on a soft magnetic material, which can ensure that the current changes monotonically and continuously during the measurement process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement result, and the obtained B-H loop is also continuous. Specifically, the method for measuring the wide-range B-H loop of the soft magnetic material comprises the following steps:
step S1: connecting two current channels in parallel and then connecting the two current channels in series with a sample excitation coil and a power supply, wherein one current channel comprises a semiconductor voltage-controlled device and a first sampling resistor which are sequentially connected, the other current channel comprises a switch and a second sampling resistor which are sequentially connected, and the sample excitation coil is wound on a soft magnetic material to be detected;
step S2: and closing the switch and obtaining a B-H loop of the excitation coil of the sample by adopting a fast scanning method.
In step S1, as shown in fig. 4, two current paths are connected in parallel and then connected in series with the sample excitation coil and the power supply, where the switch is connected in series with the second sampling resistor Rs2 to form a first current path, and the switch controls the on/off of the first current path, and the semiconductor voltage-controlled device is connected in series with the first sampling resistor Rs1 to form a second current path, and the semiconductor voltage-controlled device controls the on/off of the second current path. When the voltage value output by the power supply is small, the voltage values of the two ends of the semiconductor voltage-controlled device are low, the semiconductor voltage-controlled device is not conducted, only very weak and negligible current flows through the semiconductor voltage-controlled device, at the moment, the current of the measuring circuit basically flows only from the first current channel, the current of the first current channel is obtained by scanning the current, and the measuring precision is ensured by the sampling precision of the first current channel; when the voltage value output by the power supply is gradually increased, the semiconductor voltage-controlled device is conducted when the voltage values at two ends of the semiconductor voltage-controlled device reach the conducting voltage of the semiconductor voltage-controlled device, the second current channel is put into the measuring circuit, the current flows through the first current channel and the second current channel respectively, and the scanning current is measured to be the sum of the current values of the two current channels. When only the first current channel is put into the measuring circuit, the current measurement of the first circuit channel is used as a small range, and when the second current channel is also put into the measuring circuit, the two current channels work simultaneously so as to be used as a large range. In addition, the semiconductor voltage-controlled device is a diode.
It will be appreciated that, preferably, the resistance value of the first sampling resistor is much smaller than that of the second sampling resistor, for example, the resistance value of the first sampling resistor is in the order of milli-ohms or micro-ohms, and the resistance value of the second sampling resistor is in the order of ohms, kilo-ohms or mega-ohms. Further preferably, the resistance value of the first sampling resistor is in the milliohm range, and the resistance value of the second sampling resistor is in the ohm or kiloohm range. In an embodiment of the invention, the resistance of the second sampling resistor is 1 to 1000 Ω, and the resistance of the first sampling resistor is 0.001 to 0.005 Ω. Namely, the first current channel is a small current channel, the second current channel is a large current channel, the current sampling of the small current channel is used as a small current range, and the common sampling of the small current channel and the large current channel is used as a large current range. When only the small current channel has current circulation, the measurement accuracy of the scanning current is ensured by the sampling accuracy of the small current channel, after the large current channel starts to circulate current, because the resistance value of the first sampling resistor is far smaller than that of the second sampling resistor, at the moment, most of the current flows through the large current channel, and the measurement accuracy of the scanning current is mainly ensured by the sampling accuracy of the large current channel, so that the continuous stable adjustment of the current in an ultra-wide range and the accurate measurement of the current magnitude are ensured.
It is to be understood that in the step S2, when the power source is a current source, the fast scan measurement is performed in a constant current source mode, and when the power source is a voltage source, the fast scan measurement is performed in a voltage source control mode. The present embodiment preferably employs a voltage source control mode. Because the current source can not realize the superposition of two current channels of large and small current channels, the accurate measurement of the whole range of 1 muA-25A can not be realized, and in the mode of using a voltage source and a semiconductor switch, the accurate measurement of small current can be obtained by using large-resistance-value resistance sampling when the output voltage is small, and the accurate measurement of large current can be obtained by using small-resistance-value resistance sampling when the voltage is large enough to enable the semiconductor switch to be conducted.
In this embodiment, the method for measuring a wide range of B-H loops for soft magnetic materials is to set two parallel current channels for measurement, when the output voltage value of the power supply is small, only the current channel where the second sampling resistor is located is put into the circuit to form a small current range, the accuracy of scanning measurement is determined by the first current channel, and when the output voltage value of the power supply is large, and when the output voltage value exceeds the on-state voltage of the semiconductor voltage-controlled device, the second current channel is put into the circuit, the current value of scanning measurement is the sum of the current values of the two current channels to form a large current range, during the whole measurement process, the large and small current ranges are always in working state, compared with the existing mode of switching the current ranges by using a mechanical switch or an electronic switch, the current path does not have a transient state of short circuit opening and returning to zero, and there is no longer a transient of a magnetic field, the magnetizing process of the sample excitation coil is continuously carried out, so that continuous and stable current regulation in an ultra-wide range and accurate measurement of a current magnitude are ensured, and the obtained B-H loop is also continuous.
It can be understood that, as shown in fig. 5, the step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
step S21: controlling the voltage waveform output by the bipolar adjustable voltage source according to the required magnetic field waveform, and monitoring the scanning current of the first sampling resistor and the second sampling resistor in real time;
step S22: and obtaining the magnetic induction intensity measurement result and the current scanning measurement result of the soft magnetic material to be measured, and drawing a B-H loop.
It can be understood that, in the step S21, the power supply uses a bipolar adjustable voltage source, outputs a control signal through a DA interface of the controller to control a voltage waveform output by the bipolar adjustable voltage source, samples a current value flowing through the first sampling resistor and a current value flowing through the second sampling resistor in real time by using the controller, and monitors the magnitude of the scanning current of the first sampling resistor and the magnitude of the scanning current of the second sampling resistor in real time. When the voltage value output by the bipolar adjustable voltage source is small, the current value of the second sampling resistor is monitored to be smaller than or equal to a set current value, wherein the set current value is a current value corresponding to the second sampling resistor when the semiconductor voltage-controlled device is switched on, the large current channel does not work, only the current value of the second sampling resistor is used as the current scanning measurement value, the current scanning measurement value is small, and the measurement precision is ensured by the sampling precision of the small current channel, so that the measurement precision when the scanning current value is small is ensured, and particularly the measurement accuracy is high when the current is zero. When the scanning current value of the second sampling resistor is monitored to be larger than the set current value, the voltages at two ends of the semiconductor voltage-controlled device are enough to be conducted, the current mainly flows through the large current channel, the current value of the first sampling resistor is used as the current scanning measurement value, the current value of the scanning measurement is the sum of the current values of the two current channels, and the measurement precision of the scanning current is ensured by the sampling precision of the large current channel, so that the measurement precision of the scanning current value in large current and small current is ensured, and the measurement accuracy of the current value at two points, namely the current peak value and the current value corresponding to the coercive force, is ensured to be high.
It is understood that, in the step S22, the controller draws a B-H loop based on the measurement result of the scanning current and the measurement result of the magnetic induction, and displays the B-H loop through the display screen, and the obtained B-H loop is as shown in fig. 6. The magnetic induction intensity is obtained by integrating the induced voltage on the secondary side, and this part of the content belongs to the known technology, and therefore is not described herein again.
In order to further show the advantages of the method for measuring the wide-range B-H loop of the soft magnetic material in comparison with the existing measuring method adopting the mechanical or electronic switch switching range, the inventor also carries out repeated tests on the same sample by respectively using two different methods, and the test results are shown in the following table:

In addition, the switch can be a mechanical switch or an electronic switch, in the case of the mechanical switch, the mechanical switch needs to be manually closed before measurement is carried out, in the case of the electronic switch, for example, a relay or a transistor is used as the switch, and the controller needs to be connected with the electronic switch to control the on-off of the switch.
