Description
ROTARY AND LINEAR MOTOR
FIELD
The present invention relates to a combination rotary and linear motor which uses a modified brushless DC
motor.
BACKGROUND
There are a number of different configurations which provide a combination of rotary and linear motion.
U.S. Patent No. 4,570,254 issued to Agostini discloses a l0 drive motor for a compact disc player which uses permanent magnets for both the rotor and the stator and employs magnetic attraction to move the rotor from an intermediate position to a playing position. The use of an axial magnetic attractive force results in a movement, which requires external stops to achieve a final position, as there is no control over the force itself.
There are a series of patents represented by U.S.
Patent No. 5,627,418 issued to Satomi et al. which employ a stepping motor having a stator and a mover having a series of laminated iron plates shaped to provide inner stator teeth along a direction of the motor axis and teeth in the circumferential direction and outer mover or rotor teeth opposed to said stator teeth. Permanent magnets are incorporated into the stator or rotor. Energizing the stator causes rotary motion and stepped linear motion.

Va= modulating signal voltage of signal modulating carrier signal for coil 18a,
6 Vb= modulating signal voltage of signal modulating carrier signal for coil 18b, Vc= modulating signal voltage of signal modulating carrier signal for coil 18c, Ia= current proportional to actual current through coil 18a, Ib= current proportional to actual current through coil 18b, Ic= current proportional to actual current through coil 18c, Id= d-axis component of effective motor coil current, Vd= d-axis component of effective motor coil voltage, Iq= q-axis component of effective motor coil current, Vq= q-axis component of effective motor coil voltage, a = coil length along direction of motor axis, z = rotor displacement along z-axis, 8 = radial angle of displacement of rotor, w = angular velocity of rotor (~=dA/dt), ~r = magnetic flux from the rotor, T = torque on rotor, F = force on rotor along Z-axis, R = resistance of stator coils, Ld = inductance due to the time variation of current along the d-axis,
7 Lq = inductance due to time variation of current along the q-axis, c1 = coefficient of back emf, c2 - coefficient of torque.
It should be noted that Id is the current through a notional coil whose axis is aligned along the d-axis and Iq is the current through a notional coil whose axis is aligned along the q-axis.
The motor of Figs. 1 and 2 is a three phase structure but the stator can be wound as a 4 or 5 phase structure. Similarly although a one pole rotor is shown, a two, or four pole rotor could be used.
Equations for voltage, torque and z-axis force can be approximated as follows:
Vd = RId + Ld dId/dt + c~ LqIq + c1 ~r dz/dt, Vq = RIq + Lq dIq/dt - (~ Ld Id + Qtr (~, T = c2 ~r Iq, and F = f(z,Id), Va = Vd Cos (8) + Vq Sin (8) , Vb = Vd Cos(6-2n/3) + Vq Sin(6-2n/3), Vc = Vd Cos(6-4n/3) + Vq Sin(6-4n/3),
It should be noted that Id is the current through a notional coil whose axis is aligned along the d-axis and Iq is the current through a notional coil whose axis is aligned along the q-axis.

8 Ic= -(Ia + Ib), Id= (IaCos(6) + IbCos(8-2n/3) + IcCos(6-4n/3))*0.66, Iq= (IaSin(6) + IbSin(8-2~/3) + IcSin(6-4n/3))*0.66.
Considering that F is a function only of the position along the z-axis and the current Id, when there is d-axis current, Id, and a displacement of the rotor along the z axis as seen in Figures 3b, and 3c, then there will be a net force F
which tends to pull the rotor in or push it out of alignment l0 with the coils along the z-axis of the motor.
Referring to Fig. 4, the relationship of force F
and f(z,Id) for various values of Id is shown. It will be seen that the force F is zero at z=0 but rises steeply to a flat portion which, at large positive and negative values of z, falls off towards zero. Consequently, operation on the flat portion of the curves is preferred.
A q-axis current will create a torque on the rotor so as to cause the rotor to turn. The z-axis force due to Iq is almost nil. Because of the minimum of interaction by Iq on the z-axis force and Id on the rotor torque, Id can be used to control z-axis movement and Iq can be used to make the motor turn.

9 Referring to Fig. 5, the required z-axis position is input as a command on line 22 while the required rotary angle A is input on line 20. The rotary and linear motor control algorithms are output on any of 6 outputs, namely, PWMA, PWMA_, PWMB, PWMB_, PWMC, and PWMC- Here the acronym PWM stands for pulse width modulation. Each of the signals PWMA, PWMA-, PWMB, PWMB_, PWMC, and PWMC_ drive a three phase inverter 26 for driving the rotary and linear motor
10. The output from the three phase inverter 26 on the three lines 28 drives coil A, coil B and coil C, respectively. The coil current in coils A and B are each sensed and fed back to the motor control algorithms 24. As seen in Fig. 6, axial displacement and rotor angle are each sensed in the motor 10 by a linear displacement sensor 32 and rotor angle sensor 34 and fed back to motor control algorithms 24 (see Fig. 5).
Referring to Fig. 7 there is shown the three phase inverter for driving the rotary and linear motor. In this case series connected field effect transistors (FETs) 36 and 38, 40 and 42, and 44 and 46 are coupled together in series across an input capacitor 52. Outputs are taken from the intersection of the pairs of FETs. If, for example, the FET
38 driven by PWMA_ goes ON, then the line to motor coil A is drawn down to ground potential. If, however, the FET 36 driven by PWMA goes ON, the line to motor coil A is raised to Vo.
The motor control algorithms, shown in detail in 5 Fig. 8, have comparators 60 and 62. Comparator 60 subtracts the measured value of "z" from the command value z and sends the difference to Cz(S) 64. Similarly, comparator 62 subtracts the measured rotor angle 8 from the command value A~ and the difference is sent to Ce(S) 66. The output from 10 Cz(S) 64 is the z-axis force Idc while that from Ce(S) 66 is current Iqc. Generally, Cz(S) 64 and Ce(S) 66 take the form of a PID Controller, where S is the Laplace Operator.
Another set of comparators 68 and 70 subtract Id from the command value Idc and Iq from Iqc and sends the differences to Cd(S) 72 and Cq(S) 74. Generally, Cz(S) 64 and Ce(S) 66 take the form of a PI Controller, where S is the Laplace Operator. The values of Id and Iq are determined by transformation block 80 from Ia and Ib, the coil current in coils Ia and Ib in accordance with the following formulas:
Id=(IaCos(8) + IbCos(6-2~/3)+IcCos(6-4n/3))*0.66 Iq=(IaSin(6) + IbSin((6-2~/3)+IcSin(6-4~/3))*0.66

Similarly, comparator 62 subtracts the measured rotor angle 8 from the command value A~ and the difference is sent to Ce(S) 66. The output from 10 Cz(S) 64 is the z-axis force Idc while that from Ce(S) 66 is current Iqc. Generally, Cz(S) 64 and Ce(S) 66 take the form of a PID Controller, where S is the Laplace Operator.
Another set of comparators 68 and 70 subtract Id from the command value Idc and Iq from Iqc and sends the differences to Cd(S) 72 and Cq(S) 74. Generally, Cz(S) 64 and Ce(S) 66 take the form of a PI Controller, where S is the Laplace Operator. The values of Id and Iq are determined by transformation block 80 from Ia and Ib, the coil current in coils Ia and Ib in accordance with the following formulas:
Id=(IaCos(8) + IbCos(6-2~/3)+IcCos(6-4n/3))*0.66 Iq=(IaSin(6) + IbSin((6-2~/3)+IcSin(6-4~/3))*0.66
11 Here Ic= -(Ia + Ib). The value of 8 is obtained from the rotor angle sensor 34 (see Fig. 6) and fed to transformation blocks 76 and 80. The output from Cd(S) 72 is Vd while that from Cq(S) is Vq. Vd and Vq are directed to a transformation block 76 which calculates the phase voltages Va, Vb, and Vc which are calculated according to the following formulae:
Va = Vd Cos(6) + Vq Sin(6) Vb = Vd Cos (A-2n/3 ) + Vq Sin (6-27L/3 ) Vc = Vd Cos(8-4n/3) + Vq Sin(6-4n/3) Thus, Va, Vb, and Vc have a sinusoidal waveform.
The PMW logic circuit 78 (see Fig. 8) uses Va, Vb, and Vc to establish PWMA, PWMA-, PWMB, PWMB-, PWMC, and PWMC-Referring to Fig. 9, Va causes the logic circuit 78 to extend the time duration of the first half cycle by an amount proportional to the value of Va and decreases the time duration of second half cycle by a like amount. The signals PWMA-, PWMB, PWMB-, PWMC, and PWMC- are determined in similar way.
In operation, as seen in Fig. 5 and 8, command values of the z-axis position "z~" and the rotary angle "A~"
are generated by a software program (not shown) programmed
Va = Vd Cos(6) + Vq Sin(6) Vb = Vd Cos (A-2n/3 ) + Vq Sin (6-27L/3 ) Vc = Vd Cos(8-4n/3) + Vq Sin(6-4n/3) Thus, Va, Vb, and Vc have a sinusoidal waveform.

The signals PWMA-, PWMB, PWMB-, PWMC, and PWMC- are determined in similar way.
In operation, as seen in Fig. 5 and 8, command values of the z-axis position "z~" and the rotary angle "A~"
are generated by a software program (not shown) programmed
12 to carry out a sequence of operations. At the same time actual values of "z" and "8" sensed by the linear displacement sensor 32 and the rotor angle sensor 34 are sent from the rotary and linear motor and sensors 10 to the rotary and linear motor control algorithm 24. As discussed above, the values of "z" and "z~" and "A" and "6~" are compared and the difference fed into Cz(S) 64 and Ce(S) 66 to yield Idc and Iqc, respectively. Coil currents Ia and Ib are transformed by transformation block 80 to produce Id and Iq. Idc and Iqc are compared with Id and Iq by comparators 68 and 70, respectively, and the differences sent to Cd(S) 72 and Cq(S) 74 to yield Vd and Vq, respectively.
Transformation block 76 transforms Vd and Vq to produce coil voltages Va, Vb, and Vc, on three separate lines, which are applied to the PWM Logic circuit 78. The outputs from the PWM Logic circuit 78 are applied to respective gates of FETs 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, and 46 (see Fig. 7). The outputs 81, 82, and 84 from the junction of the pairs of FETs 36 and 38, 40 and 42, and 44 and 46, respectively, are directed to the motor coils 18a, 18b, and 18c. Current sensors 48 and 50 for coils 18a and 18b are in output lines 81 and 82, respectively.
For a rotor having two or more poles and six or more stator coils the operation would follow the principle
