摘要:
A reverse current detection apparatus determines whether an electrical conduction control to a motor coil of a motor is in a predetermined state based on a timing signal representing a timing at which to conduct a source current or a sink current through the motor coil and a control signal for a half bridge in a power stage, and compares the output voltage of the power stage with a threshold value, so as to detect the presence/absence of a reverse flow of a phase current based on these results. A motor driving apparatus for driving a motor under a PWM control includes a rectification switching section for switching a rectification scheme from one to another based on the reverse current detection apparatus and a detection result thereof.

A motor driving apparatus includes a position detector for detecting a rotational position of a motor to output the detection result as a position signal, a frequency comparator for comparing frequencies of continuous periods in the position signal and detecting a reversed state in which the frequency of the signal in the later period is higher than the frequency of the signal in the earlier period, a brake change over unit for selecting a reverse torque brake control which applies reverse torque to the rotor for braking or a short brake control which shorts coils of the motor for braking and instructing the brake control. The brake change over unit changes over the brake control from the reverse torque brake control to the short brake control, when a command signal for applying a reverse torque is output and the frequency comparator detects the reversed state.

Problems with accuracy reading position detection signal peaks and minute phase differences in the detection current make motor drive control easily susceptible to differences in motor characteristics. The rotor position is determined based on whether or not a terminal difference voltage, which is the difference voltage between the motor terminal voltage and the pseudo-neutral-point voltage when the motor phases are selectively energized, exceeds a specific threshold value. The phase energized to start the motor is determined based on this determination and the motor is energized accordingly to start. Instead of switching directly from the search step at the initial rotor position to the back-EMF voltage mode, a search and start mode that creates initial rotor speed sufficient to start the motor is executed before entering the back-EMF voltage mode.

A motor driving apparatus includes a virtual difference voltage detecting unit operable to detect a difference voltage between a virtual neutral point of a resistor circuit connected in parallel to motor coils and a terminal of a motor coil in non-conduction state, a rotor position detecting unit operable to detect a position of the rotor based on the difference voltage, and a controller operable to control commutation of an inverter based on the rotor position. The motor driving apparatus has a searching start mode for detecting the rotor position and energizes the coils, and a back electromotive voltage feedback mode for controlling commutation based on the back electromotive voltage. In the searching start mode, a rotor position searching process and a rotation start torque applying process are alternately performed.
摘要:
A reverse current detection unit detects the direction of the motor current during the synchronous rectifier period based on the polarity of the on voltage of a switching device contained in the motor current path, and outputs a reverse current detection signal representing the result of this detection to the PWM control unit. Change in the output of the PWM control unit that generates the drive signal for a particular switching device in the drive unit is controlled based on the reverse current detection signal and the energizing pattern of the drive unit is changed when motor current is detected in the synchronous rectifier period to be flowing in the opposite direction as in the urging period. The flow of motor current to the power supply is thus reduced and a rise in the power supply voltage can be prevented.

In a back electromotive force phase detecting device, a timing generating unit generates a timing signal indicating a start timing, an intermediate timing and an end timing of a 180-degree electrical angle period in a detection target phase, from an excitation pulse signal. A difference calculating unit receives the timing signal, and calculates a difference between a total PWM control period of the detection target phase during a first-half 90-degree period, and a total PWM control period of the detection target phase during a second-half 90-degree period. In an excitation control device, a control unit changes the capability of driving a motor based on an output of the back electromotive force phase detecting device.
