This equipment can comprise the transducer 4 that is used for the rotating speed of rotor is carried out sensing.
For instance, motor 1 can be connected to capstan winch 5, but it also can drive any other mechanical component, and can therefore not exceed scope of the present invention.
In described example, frequency-variable controller 2 and switched system 3 are illustrated with the form of frame independently, for example, corresponding to electronic cards (electronic card) independently, but these unit combination can not exceeded scope of the present invention yet in single electronic cards.
Alternatively, switched system 3 can be for long-range, and for example it can be arranged in rack or the casing that is fixed on alternatively on the motor 1.
Transducer 4 shown in Fig. 5 is connected with frequency-variable controller 2, but as shown in Figure 6, and the information that is received from transducer 4 by switched system 3 does not exceed scope of the present invention.
Switched system 3 and frequency-variable controller 2 exchange information, thus controller 2 can be known the method that connects of winding element, and can correspondingly control motor 1.
Power supply 2 can comprise memory, has comprised the characteristic of motor 1 when the difference of the winding element that can realize through switched system 3 connects method in this memory.
Controller 2 can receive the information of expression set point speed.
For instance, motor 1 has 3 phase a, b and c, and for these phases, has winding element 10 and 11,20 and 21 separately, and 30 and 31, as shown in Figure 7.
Switched system 3 for example comprises: the switch 41 and 51 of phase a; The switch 42 and 52 of phase b; And the switch 43 and 53 of phase c.Therefore, each all is associated with first switch and second switch mutually.
Switch 41,42 and 43 is separately positioned between two in a plurality of winding elements of corresponding phase.Winding element 10,20 and 30 comprises separately terminal 10b, 20b and the 30b that one of terminal of inductive switch 41,42 and 43 is electrically connected separately with switched system.
Switch 51,52 and 53 at first is connected to corresponding intermediate point 60,61 and 62, is connected to the corresponding power lead- ining line 70,71 and 72 that is connected with U mutually, V and the W of power supply then.
Switch 41,42 and 43 is connected to intermediate point 60,61 and 62 respectively.
When motor 1 was started working with the method that connects of Fig. 7, its speed v can increase to base speed v from 0
0, as shown in Figure 9.
Be higher than base speed v
0The time, if go in substantially invariable power P
1Under operation, then the voltage limit of controller 2 possibly require motor flux and its speed to reduce pro rata.
For instance, switched system 3 is set to, when reaching the first switch speed V
1(for example, correspond essentially to base speed v
0Twice) time, this switched system is from the wherein switch 41,42 of Fig. 7 and 43 closures and the method that connects that switch 51,52 and 53 is opened switches to the method that connects of Fig. 8.
Connect in the method at this, switch 41,42 and 43 is opened, and switch 51,52 and 53 closures.So the winding element 11,21 and 31 that only is connected to neutral point N is powered.This makes can increase flux and be higher than the first switch speed v
1Situation under with substantially invariable power P
1Carry out work.
In addition; Winding element 10,20 and 30 is remained on power supply potential U, V and the W separately by separately the first terminal 10a, 20a and 30a; And the current potential at their the second terminal 10b, 20b and 30b places separately approaches the current potential of neutral point N; This and prior art shown in Figure 2 are different, and in this prior art, the voltage that does not induce on the terminal of the winding element of power supply adds on the voltage of the winding element that is powered.
For example, for phase a, the voltage at intermediate point 60 places is a with respect to neutral point N
1, and the current potential of the terminal 10b of winding element is a
1-a
2, this current potential approaches the current potential of neutral point N.In the prior art, the current potential of the terminal 10b that does not connect is a
1+ a

When hope obtains plural working range under substantially invariable power, as shown in Figure 9, for example, the switched system 3 with unshowned other switches can be provided, and work as speed above the first switch speed v
1The time, this switched system is set to change into from the star connection of Fig. 7 the delta connection of Figure 10, and in this delta connection, the winding element of each phase all is electrically connected in series.
When speed reaches the second switch speed v
2The time, switched system 3 can be set to winding element is switched to the method that connects of Fig. 8, with work under substantially invariable power.
When speed surpasses the 3rd switch speed v
3The time, switched system 3 can make winding element become the delta connection of Figure 11, in this delta connection, has only some winding element to be powered, switch 51,52 and 53 closures, and switch 41,42 and 43 is opened.
Figure 12 show for independent employing each connect method, power is how as the function of rotating speed and the example that changes.
Alternatively, the conversion of each switch in mutually can be simultaneously.
For example, switch 41 can be opened in the moments of switch 51 closures, and vice versa.It also can be quasi-instantaneous switching.
Each of this motor can have plural winding element mutually; For instance, Figure 13 shows each motor that has three winding elements mutually, that is: for phase a; Two winding elements 10 and 11 respectively with switch 41 and 51,44 and 54, and tertiary winding unit 12 is associated; For phase b, two winding elements 20 and 21 respectively with switch 42 and 52,45 and 55, and tertiary winding unit 22 is associated; And for phase c, winding element 30 and 31 respectively with switch 43 and 53,46 and 56, and tertiary winding unit 32 is associated.
In the example of Figure 13, winding element is set to star connection, and in the example of Figure 14, winding element is set to delta connection.
Can operate each switch, so that this motor can work in initial shift, wherein for each phase, winding element all is series connection, after this, and along with speed increases, only to some winding element power supply.
Therefore, in the example of Figure 13, this motor can work in second working stage; Wherein switch 41,42 and 43 is opened; Switch 51,52 and 53 closures, switch 44,45 and 46 closures work in the 3rd working stage then; Wherein switch 44,45 and 46 is opened, and switch 54,55 and 56 closures.
Shown in all examples in, switch can be electric mechanical switch and/or semiconductor switch.For instance, according to the power that will switch, each switch can comprise a plurality of assemblies of series connection and/or parallel connection.
The present invention is not limited to crane facility, also is applicable to lathe, is used for being involved in or rolling out, and advances etc.
The present invention is not limited to carry out work with substantially invariable power when speed during greater than base speed.For example, work can relate to a plurality of power ranks, all is substantially invariable at each the rank internal power that is associated with a velocity interval wherein.
Can use the control system 100 of type shown in Figure 15 to carry out and connect the conversion that method to the second connects method from first; Vice versa; This control system 100 had both comprised the winding element switched system, comprised the frequency-variable controller that for example receives the information of expression motor speed through transducer 4 again.
Control system 100 can receive the information of expression set point speed, and can be installed in alternatively on this motor.
For instance, each of this motor can have two winding element E1 and E2 mutually, and is shown in figure 16, and the winding element of all phases is organized as star connection or delta connection.
For instance, for phase a, winding element E1 and E2 correspond respectively to the winding element 10 and 11 of Figure 10.
Control system 100 has the first contactor KM1 and the second contactor KM2.The first contactor KM1 comprises first group of main switch 102, and the second contactor KM2 comprises second group of main switch 103.
For instance, for phase a, main switch 102 and 103 corresponds respectively to the switch 41 and 51 of Figure 10.
When the first contactor KM1 was not powered (opening), main switch 102 was opened.
When the second contactor KM2 was not powered (opening), main switch 103 was opened.
In described example, control system 100 comprises the 3rd contactor KM3 by switch 104 controls, and is shown in figure 17.
Contactor KM3 has the switch 105 (that is to say that when contactor KM3 was not powered, it was opened) of open type and the switch 106 (that is to say that when contactor KM3 was not powered, it was closed) of closed type.
As can be seen from Figure 17, contactor KM1 and KM2 have respectively the auxiliary switch 107 and 108 that the switch 105 and 106 with contactor KM3 is electrically connected in series.
When switch 106 and 108 closures, contactor KM1 is powered (closure), and when switch 105 and 107 closures, contactor KM2 is powered (closure).
Switch 107 is closed types, that is, it is not closed when contactor KM1 is powered, and switch 108 is closed type equally, when contactor KM2 is not powered, is closed.
The auxiliary switch 110 and 111 of contactor KM1 and KM2 (all being open type) parallel connection is electrically connected, and therefore makes when can detect control system 100 contactor KM1 and KM2 all are not powered.
In the present embodiment, control system 100 comprises hysteresis comparator, this hysteresis comparator according to the rotating speed of motor be less than or greater than lower limit speed v
bStill less than or greater than upper limit speed v
h, and the operation of each contactor KM1, KM2 and KM3 is worked.
Frequency-variable controller comprises memory, and this memory stores has respectively with work under low speed with at many groups running parameter of working and being associated down at a high speed.
The supposition frequency-variable controller to be being used for carrying out work with that group parameter of the corresponding operation of low speed below, and winding element E1 and E2 are by series-fed.
In boost phase, shown in figure 19, control system detects rotating speed in step 120 and surpasses upper limit speed v
h
Control system 100 makes switch 104 closures subsequently, thereby supplies power to contactor KM3 in step 121, and switch 106 is opened, thereby breaks off the power supply to contactor KM1 in step 122.
Control system 100 detects opening of contactor KM1 through the switch of all opening 110 and 111.This control system adopts in step 124 and corresponding that group running parameter of high speed.
After this, in step 125,,, thereby make switch 107 closures so contactor KM2 is closed because contactor KM3 is powered and contactor KM1 opens.
Because main switch 103 closures and main switch 102 is opened, so stop to each winding element E2 power supply in mutually.
In the decelerating phase, suppose that frequency-variable controller carries out work with that group parameter that is suitable at a high speed, and main switch 102 is opened main switch 103 closures.
In step 130, control system 100 detects speed and is reduced to below the lower limit speed, and when stopping when contactor KM3 supplies power, opening switch 104 in step 131.
This makes switch 105 and 106 change states, switch 105 and switch 106 closures.Because switch 105 is opened, so stop to supply power to contactor KM2 in step 132.
Under the situation that contactor KM1 and KM2 are not powered, this state is detected by switch 110 and 111 in step 133, so frequency-variable controller adopts that group running parameter that is suitable for low speed in step 133.
Because contactor KM2 is not powered, thus switch 108 closures, and in step 134 to contactor KM1 power supply, make that therefore main switch 102 is all closed in each phase, and main switch 103 is opened all.Winding element E1 and E2 are electrically connected in series.
Aforesaid operations makes in proper order and can when switch is electric mechanical switch, avoid producing spark at the electric contact place of these switches, in addition, can connect method from first and be transformed into second and connect method not having noise and do not make under the situation of motor vibration, and vice versa.
For example, have the motor of two winding elements mutually for each, in delta connection, for example lower limit speed can be 800 rpms (rpm), and upper limit speed can be 1790rpm.Motor for example can be with constant moment of torsion work in about scope of 0 to 750rpm, and in the firm power work with 45 kilowatts (KW) in the scope of 3600rpm of 750rpm for example.
The invention enables and to use non-overdimensioned frequency-variable controller.
