And, below explain above-mentioned functional block with reference to above-mentioned Fig. 2.
(structure of three-phase current reproduction and dq converting means)
Electric current reproduces detection signal (Ish), the three-phase voltage command value (Vu that arithmetical unit 17 uses from described bus current detecting unit 6
*, Vv
*, Vw
*) and from the three-phase alternating current signal (Iu_r, Iv_r, Iw_r) of electric current 2/3 phasing commutators 20, reproduce motor current (Iu, Iv, Iw).To describe the electric current reproduction processes in the back in detail.
Electric current 3 phases/2 principal axis transformation devices 16 are according to the motor current that reproduces and the phase information (θ dc) of inferring out, as following (mathematical expression 1) formula, and conversion dc shaft current (Idc) and qc shaft current (Iqc).The dc-qc axle is the axle of inferring of control system, and the d-q axle is a motor rotor shaft, and the axis error of d-q axle and dc-qc axle is defined as (Δ θ c).
(mathematical expression 1)
(Control of Voltage)
In voltage instruction controller 13, use the dc shaft current command value (Idc that provides from d shaft current instruction generator 11

*, Vw
*).
(mathematical expression 2)
(non-phase sensor)
Then, below describe the Su Du ﹠amp that is used to realize position Sensorless Control in detail; The phase estimating method.
Fig. 3 is Su Du ﹠amp; The detailed functional block diagram of phase estimating device 15, as shown in the figure, this phase estimating device 15 is inferred rotor-position and rotational speed by the control method of no motor rotor position sensor.Specifically, the axis error arithmetical unit 21, the speed estimating device 22 of inferring the motor rotational speed, the phase place arithmetical unit 23 that possess the axis error of computing motor reel (d-q axle) and control system axle (dc-qc axle).
Axis error arithmetical unit 21 is according to described dc shaft voltage command value (Vdc

(electric current reproduction)
Then, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 the method for reproducing the AC motor electric current according to the bus current of inverter direct-flow side is described.This Fig. 4 represents PWM carrier wave 31, three- phase modulations ripple 32,33,34, the bus current waveform 35 of inverter direct-flow side and the powered-on mode of inverter.
As shown in Figure 4, powered-on mode (with reference to the bridge circuit of figure bottom) according to inverter, 1 mutually electric current of bus current Ish and motor is corresponding, so, by the sampling timing (" zero " among the figure) of suitably adjusting A/D converter according to the size of modulating wave, can reproduce three-phase alternating current according to bus current.Promptly, the U of upper arm mutually and V mutually IGBT and during the IGBT connection of the W phase of underarm, flow through current i w, when the U of the IGBT of the V of upper arm phase and underarm connects with W IGBT mutually mutually, flow through current i v, so the current detecting unit 6 of the shunt resistance 61 by comprising the bus current that detects inverter direct-flow side detects these current i v and iw respectively as is1.In addition, the electric current I u that utilizes the U phase and V mutually electric current I v and the electric current I w sum of W phase become 0 (Iu+Iv+Iw=0), obtain remaining current i u.
But as shown in Figure 5, in a part of interval of over-modulation region, if usually, one that then becomes in the three-phase modulations ripple 32,33,34 of different mutually values (is the modulating wave Vw of W phase in this example
*: 34) become predetermined value (being 0V in this example), but between other two-phases, becoming there is not poor modulating wave (Vu
*: 32, Vv
*: 33), produce the phenomenon of the corresponding phase current that can't detect 3 phase modulating waves thus.That is, about this interval current detection value, only can detect the electric current (for example only W phase) of 1 phase, therefore, as mentioned above, the reconstruction error in the alternating current that is generated by DC-to-AC converter becomes big, and the control of being undertaken by motor drive becomes unstable.
Therefore, in the present invention, reproduce arithmetical unit 17, in over-modulation region, can detect the corresponding phase current of above-mentioned 3 phase modulating waves by electric current.Represented that in the functional block diagram of Fig. 6 this electric current reproduces the detailed structure of arithmetical unit 17, reproduce three-phase alternating current Iu, Iv, Iw according to bus current Ish, possess A/D transducer 41, current detecting information arithmetical unit 42, electric current recapiulation 43, current error correcting process portion 44.More particularly, the input signal of this electric current reproduction arithmetical unit 17 is detected bus current signal (Ish), three-phase modulations ripple (Vu
*, Vv
*, Vw
*) and three-phase alternating current reference value (Iu_r, Iv_r, Iw_r).As above-mentioned shown in Figure 2, handle the value (Idc, Iqc) that obtains to the detected AC motor electric current of dc-qc principal axis transformation by low-pass filter 19, use electric current 2/3 phasing commutators 20 to carry out inverse transformation then, generate these three-phase alternating current reference values (Iu to three-phase current
*=Iu_r, Iv
*=Iv_r, Iw
*=Iw_r).
Current detecting information arithmetical unit 42 uses three-phase modulations ripple (Vu
*, Vv
*, Vw
*), the sign whether each functional block is given moment that A/D starts, needed for the expression of the current value after the A/D conversion being distributed to the needed information of three-phase current, 44 outputs of current error correcting process portion.That is, shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 7, input three-phase modulations ripple (Vu
*, Vv
*, Vw
*) (step S71), poor (the step S72) of calculating and voltage instruction value, then, operation current detects the information (step S73) of phase, and the phase that judgement can be carried out this current detecting only is 1 phase, still can carry out the current detecting (step S74) of 2 phases.
Then, result as the judgement among the above-mentioned steps S74, in the time can detecting the electric current of 2 phases, with reference to Fig. 4 explanation, (what is called is reproduced usually: step S75) can to reproduce the AC motor electric current (Iu, Iv, Iw) of 3 phases according to the testing result of the electric current of 2 phases as above.
On the other hand, as above-mentioned shown in Figure 5, for example in partial section of over-modulation region etc., in the time of only detecting the electric current of 1 phase, the electric current of computing AC motor as described below (Iu, Iv, Iw).
At first, operation current error (step S75).Specifically, following such,
When (1) only detecting U phase current (Iu):
ΔI=Iu_r-Iu
Iv=Iv_r+ΔI×Kv
Iw=Iw_r+ΔI×Kw
When (2) only detecting V phase current (Iv):
ΔI=Iv_r-Iv
Iu=Iu_r+ΔI×Ku
Iw=Iw_r+ΔI×Kw
When (3) only detecting W phase current (Iw):
ΔI=Iw_r-Iw
Iu=Iu_r+ΔI×Ku
Iv=Iv_r+ΔI×Kv
At this, current error (Δ I) is the current reference value (Iu of homophase
*Or Iv
*Or Iw
*) poor with detected electric current (Iu or Iv or Iw).As mentioned above, the electric current of the phase that also can't detect according to the current reference value and the above-mentioned current error computing of correspondence.
Then, according to the detected value in the above-mentioned sum of errors past of obtaining like that, the detected value of the electric current that calculating can't detect (step S76), and end process.
Usually, in order to simplify calculation process, make above-mentioned current error respectively become half and revise the phase current that can't detect and get final product.That is, modified gain (Ku, Kv, Kw) is set at Ku=1/2, Kv=1/2, Kw=1/2 gets final product.
Then, revise precision, can use current reference value as shown in the formula such computing modified gain (Ku, Kv, Kw) in order further to improve.
When (1) only detecting the U phase current:
Kv=|Iv_r|/(|Iv_r|+|Iw_r|)
Kw=|Iw_r|/(|Iv_r|+|Iw_r|)
When (2) only detecting the V phase current:
Ku=|Iu_r|/(|Iu_r|+|Iw_r|)
Kw=|Iw_r|/(|Iu_r|+|Iw_r|)
When (3) only detecting the W phase current:
Ku=|Iu_r|/(|Iu_r|+|Iv_r|)
Kv=|Iv_r|/(|Iu_r|+|Iv_r|)
As mentioned above, according to the detection electric current (Iu or Iv or Iw) of the phase that can detect and the current reference value (Iu of homophase
*Or Iv
*Or Iw
*) infer current error, revise the current error of the phase that can't detect then, can improve the accuracy of detection of the three-phase current that reveals again thus, and the stability of the Motor Control can improve ovennodulation the time.
More than be the structure and the control principle thereof of motor drive of the present invention.In the above-described embodiment, as the current detecting mode, the example of the mode that has adopted the bus current that uses shunt resistance to detect inverter direct-flow side has been described, but can also have used current sensor to replace.But, by using shunt resistance, compare with the mode of direct detection three-phase alternating current, can cut down the cost of sensor.Certainly, above-mentioned electric current reproduction processes is not limited to above-mentioned motor drive, for example can also similarly be used to have the motor drive of position and speed sensor.On the other hand, when using current sensor, can also use three resistance or the current sensor that on the underarm of the on-off element that constitutes inverter, are provided with, reproduce the AC motor electric current.
(variation of controller)
Then, the variation of in Fig. 8, representing above-mentioned controller 8 shown in Figure 2 by the functional block structure.The controller 8 that becomes this variation is identical with above-mentioned controller shown in Figure 2 basically, and the functional block of same action is carried out in the symbolic representation identical with above-mentioned Fig. 2.And, be three-phase alternating current reference value (Iu with the different piece of above-mentioned Fig. 2
*=Iu_r, Iv
*=Iv_r, Iw
*Dc-qc shaft current command value (Idc is used in=Iw_r) computing
*, Iqc
*) replace detected electric electromechanics to flow to dc-qc transformation of axis value.But,, for example be can control so that actual current is almost consistent with current-order as the precondition that such control is set up.The electric current reproduction processes is identical with the embodiment of above-mentioned Fig. 2, omits its explanation at this.
(convertor device)
Then, Fig. 9 represents to replace the motor drive of above-mentioned Fig. 1, an example of the structure when using electric current detecting method of the present invention in convertor device.
As shown in Figure 9, convertor device is made of following each one: the translation circuit 104 that is connected with three-phase alternating-current supply 101 via ripple filter 102 and reactor 103; The filter capacitor 105 that is connected with dc output end of described translation circuit 104; Control the control part 106 of described translation circuit 104; Shunt resistance 1071 that connect, that be used to detect bus current between described filter capacitor 105 and described translation circuit 104; Current detection circuit 107; And DC voltage testing circuit 108.In addition, control part 106 uses microcomputer or DSP semiconductor arithmetic elements such as (digital signal processors) to constitute, and this is identical with above-mentioned Fig. 1.
(structure of control system)
Then, identical with Fig. 2 in Figure 10, represented the particularly relevant structure of the control part 106 in the above-mentioned convertor device with convertor controls by functional block.With reference to the accompanying drawings as can be known, in this control part 106, according to voltage signal (Ed) and DC voltage command value (Ed from DC voltage testing circuit 108
*) deviation, working voltage controller 110 generates q shaft current command value (iq
*).In addition, for the idle current composition that makes input current reaches minimum, make d shaft current command value (id
*) be 0.
(electric current reproduction processes)
Detection signal (Ish), output order voltage signal (Vr that electric current reproduction processing unit 118 is used from the bus DC current of bus current testing circuit 107
*, Vs
*, Vt
*) and three-phase alternating current reference value (Ir_r, Is_r, It_r), carry out the reproduction processes of three-phase alternating current (Ir, Is, It).
(command voltage calculation process)
Vector control system is obtained and each command value (id by value (id, the iq) conversion of three-phase alternating current (Ir, Is, It) on the dq axial coordinate of 3 phases/2 principal axis transformations 114 with above-mentioned reproduction
*, iq
*) deviation, calculate command voltage (Vd on the dq axles via vector controller 111
*, Vq
*).
And, the command voltage (Vd of the dq axle that use calculates
*, Vq
*) and from the phase information (θ dc) of phase estimating controller 12, calculate three-phase command voltage (Vr by 2/3 phase inversion 113
*, Vs
*, Vt
*).The control method of above-mentioned patent documentation 3 disclosed non-transformer sensors is used in processing in the above-mentioned phase estimating controller 112, so omit its detailed explanation at this.
As shown in figure 10, logical low-pass filter 116 is handled the d-q axle value (Id, Iq) of detected electric current, calculates three-phase alternating current reference value (Ir_r, Is_r, It_r) by 2/3 phasing commutators 117.Certainly, if control so that detected value is almost consistent with the current instruction value of d-q axle, then can also be identical with above-mentioned processing shown in Figure 7, use d-q shaft current command value (Id, Iq) to calculate three-phase alternating current reference value (Ir_r, Is_r, It_r).
At this, also can reproduce processing in the arithmetical unit 17 electric current reproduction processes when carrying out only detecting 1 mutually electric current in the same manner with the above-mentioned electric current that is described in detail.
But, particularly under the situation of transducer, in linear modulation areas, also have the less interval of difference of 2 phase modulating waves.Therefore, when not using special modulator approach (for example the modulating wave displacement processing of per semiperiod of PWM carrier wave etc.), the situation of the electric current of 1 phase takes place only can detect within a certain period of time.But when adopting above-mentioned special modulator approach, the distortion (higher hamonic wave) or the pulsation that produce input current are so wish not use as far as possible this special modulator approach.
Relative therewith, if use the electric current reproduction processes of the invention described above, then can not use above-mentioned special modulator approach ground to revise the current detecting error in the interval that only can detect 1 phase current, thus can realize the stability of the control of transducer, and can reduce pulsation of current.In addition, because can also improve the control performance of over-modulation region, so can reduce the loss of on-off element and the DC voltage scope that enlarges conduct output.
(system's binding DC-to-AC converter)
And, the structure when Figure 11 represents electric current detecting method of the present invention is used for system and links DC-to-AC converter.Symbol identical with above-mentioned symbol shown in Figure 9 in this Figure 11 possesses identical function, the outgoing mechanism important document.
This embodiment is equal to the reverse situation of power converter direction in the above-mentioned convertor device, promptly represents from the power supply 202 (rectifier, accumulator, solar cell or fuel cell etc.) that is connected with the DC side type of service to AC power one side conversion electric power.
The control method of this embodiment the voltage controller 110 in not needing above-mentioned control system shown in Figure 10, is a structure same as described above.In addition, the electric current reproduction processes also with more than the electric current that is described in detail to reproduce arithmetical unit 17 identical.
(refrigeration air-conditioner)
In Figure 12,, for example represented the structure of so-called refrigeration air-conditioners such as air conditioner, refrigerating machine as using above-mentioned motor drive (with reference to above-mentioned Fig. 1) to drive the device of its electric motor for compressor.
In the drawings, refrigeration air-conditioner 400 is temperature in the conditioning chamber or the device that the air in the refrigerator is cooled off, and is made of heat exchanger 401,402, fan 403,404, compressor 405, pipe arrangement 406 and motor drive 407.Electric motor for compressor 408 uses permasyn morots or three-phase induction motor and constitutes, and is configured in the inside of compressor 405.This motor drive 407 is accepted electric power from AC power, and the drive compression machine is with motor 408.
According to above narration as can be known, in this refrigeration air-conditioner, by using above-mentioned motor drive (with reference to above-mentioned Fig. 1), can improve the control stiffness of over-modulation region with comparatively cheap price, so vibration or noise in the time of can reducing the high speed rotating of motor, and can improve the performance of air conditioner or refrigerating machine.Particularly for the motor that improves the needed attention low speed of APF efficient, can reduce loss and improve the DC voltage utilization factor by ovennodulation control, the output when so performance can be guaranteed to run up, the so outstanding effect of output area of expansion air conditioner or refrigerating machine.
