Fig. 4 has illustrated the motor driver 180 according to first embodiment driving arm motor 143 of the present invention and paper feeding motor 165.Motor driver 180 comprises D/A converter, and described D/A converter is selected predetermined current based on the reference voltage VREF3 from the external equipment input.Motor driver 180 is installed on the control board 130.
Motor driver 180 has such mechanism, the size of its fixed angle interval and resultant vector, and A-phase and B-current value mutually obtained when described resultant vector was driven by each micro-stepping at motor.Angle between the consecutive points on the vector locus (seeing Figure 16) that angle intervals can drive by a micro-stepping of motor is represented.
Fig. 5 A has illustrated and has only made selected current value when the size of each little activation point resultant vector keeps constant.Fig. 5 B has illustrated and has only made selected current value when each little activation point resultant vector motion angle keeps constant at interval.Fig. 5 C has illustrated and has made selected current value when the size of each little activation point resultant vector and angle intervals all keep constant.The value of VREF3 shown in Fig. 5 C and Fig. 5 A and 5B are common.
As shown in Figure 6, the situation with according to Fig. 5 A or 5B selective value the time relatively, vector locus becomes complete circle during according to Fig. 5 C selective value, the vector locus of corresponding figures 5B is preferred than the vector locus of corresponding figures 5A.
As shown in Figure 7, the situation with according to Fig. 5 A or 5B selective value the time relatively, during according to Fig. 5 C selective value, the rotor stop position in the two-phase position becomes more accurate.The stop position of corresponding figures 5B is more accurate than the stop position of corresponding figures 5A.Particularly, according to Fig. 5 A, 5B during with the 5C selective value error of relative stop position be respectively 30%, 15% and 7.5%.
According to above-mentioned structure, can make the angular stop of rotor accurately strengthen the step resolution of motor simultaneously.The structure motor driver 180 so that the size of resultant vector and angular spacing any all keep constant.Can adopt motor driver 180 to control bipolar motor and unipolar motor.
Fig. 8 illustrates according to second embodiment of the present invention, the motor driver 170 of driving arm motor 143 and paper feeding motor 165.Construct motor driver 170 so that reference voltage VREF1 or reference voltage VREF2 that each electric current selector 171 is imported based on each external equipment select the predetermined current value, and make each control logic loop 172 pass through each transistor 173 output signal according to the electric current of selecting.Motor driver 170 also comprises Re Guan loop circuit 174, serial transducer 175 and single the triggering many blanking times 176.Motor driver 170 is installed on the control board 130.
The motor driver 170 of such structure changes magnetic balance by the input current that increases single-phase excitation still can produce the magnetic attraction (being applied to epitrochanterian load) that overcomes loss of machine of torque so that rotor is in single-phase energized position even have.Particularly, the current value of magnetic balance by increasing the B-phase between two-phase energized position (position of first quartile 45 degree among Fig. 9) and the single-phase energized position (among Fig. 9 on the axle of B-phase) be to 1.4 times of maximums, and the current value that increases the A-phase between two-phase energized position (position of four-quadrant among Fig. 9-45 degree) and the single-phase energized position (among Fig. 9 A-phase spool on) simultaneously changes to 1.4 times of maximums.
Therefore, as shown in figure 10, when the input current of single-phase excitation increases to 600mA, 850mA, 1000mA and 1200mA, can strengthen the precision of the angular stop of single-phase energized position between the adjacent two-phase energized position.Particularly, when the input current of each single-phase excitation is 600mA, 850mA, 1000mA and 1200mA, each angular stop is respectively 2.15 degree, 3 degree, 3.25 degree and 3.3 degree, and each precision of spending with respect to reference value 3.75 is 43%, 20%, 13% and 12%, has increased precision.
As above-mentioned, also can carry out owing to overcome the magnetic attraction of loss of machine of torque, so the rotor angular stop can be the accurate step resolution that also increases motor simultaneously at single-phase energized position.Can construct motor driver 170 so that magnetic balance changes by the input current that reduces the two-phase excitation, make magnetic attraction balance at the magnetic attraction and the two-phase energized position of single-phase energized position.Also can construct motor driver 170 so that magnetic balance changes by the input current that the input current that increases single-phase excitation reduces the two-phase excitation simultaneously, make in the magnetic attraction of single-phase energized position and the magnetic attraction balance of two-phase position.Can adopt motor driver 170 to control bipolar motor and unipolar motor.
Can construct motor driver 170 so that the direction of the resultant vector of A-phase current values of putting in single-phase excitation and B-phase current values is proofreaied and correct by the driving pulse quantity that increases single-phase excitation.Particularly, as shown in figure 11,, improve with respect to the angular stop precision of reference value (3.75) when the driving pulse quantity of single-phase excitation when 8 increase to 9 (the driving pulse quantity of two-phase excitation simultaneously is reduced to 7 from 8).When the driving pulse quantity of single-phase excitation when 8 increase to 10 because precision worsens, therefore should correctly select the number of pulses that increases.
Because therefore the direction that can proofread and correct the resultant vector of single-phase energized position can make the rotor angular stop accurately increase the step resolution of motor simultaneously.
Can construct motor 170 so that the direction of the resultant vector of single-phase energized position by rotate forward predetermined quantity (for example, 2) single-phase driving pulse, the opposite spin predetermined quantity (for example, 3) pulse, with the damping operation of (for example, 2) pulse of normal rotation predetermined quantity and proofread and correct.Can adopt motor driver 170 to control bipolar motor and unipolar motor.
Below, with reference to Figure 12 to 14, illustrate with above-mentioned embodiment and control the positive method of step position, angle recalibration by the exciting current of control excitation phase.
At first, whether satisfactory in order to check the step angle, detect the variation of moment of torsion, when the step, the angle was big, output torque reduced; When step angle hour, output torque increases.That is, proofread and correct the deviation of each micro-stepping activation point desired value as shown in figure 12.Former value is proofreaied and correct in the dotted line representative, and later value is proofreaied and correct in the solid line representative.
Secondly, in output torque under the single-phase excitation situation of A-phase and output torque balance under B-single-phase excitation situation mutually.Particularly, A-mutually is corrected into the value of solid line representative with B-current value mutually from the value of dotted line representative, shown in Figure 13 and 14.At last, confirm that more whether the output torque of each micro-stepping activation point keeps constant in essence.
Though in above-mentioned multiple embodiments the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited in the above-mentioned embodiment, but also can be applied to other embodiment within the scope of the invention.For example, though the example of ink-jet printer as recorder illustrated that the present invention is limited to here, but can be applied to have other recorder of paper roller, for example, hot transmission type printer and inkjet type or hot transmission type facsimile machine or photocopier.
