In no sensor motor control technique, the end-point voltage that is in the coil of floating state is to be used for judging the commutation important evidence on opportunity, because be in the end-point voltage of coil of floating state and the back electromotive force that the potential difference between coupling central point N is represented motor.The sequential chart of the voltage that Fig. 2 shows loop A, B, present with end points Pa, the Pb of C, with the Pc place.Can know from figure and find out that coil is at the initial stage that enters floating state, violent variation can take place in its end-point voltage, and this is because the inductance characteristic of coil causes.For instance, situation, because originally the electric current of flowing through coil B can't be removed by moment, so it is transferred the free-wheel diode of the conducting second side switch SH2 and flows into supply-voltage source V from first phase transition to second phase place
mTherefore, at the initial stage of second phase place, the end points Pb voltage of coil B is from earth potential moment high jump and than supply-voltage source V

In known technology, cover circuit 34 and preestablish covering period of what a regular length usually, and suppose that it enough contains the acute variation at the initial stage of floating fully.Yet in fact the occupied time range of the acute variation at the initial stage of floating is not a fixed value, but can be along with various factorss such as the rotating speed of motor and the sizes of motor drive current and change.Though in some known technology, covering circuit 34 improves and becomes to provide covering period of adjustable-length, but even so, the modulation rate of this adjustable elongated degree still must preestablish, and when predefined modulation rate can't tally with the actual situation, the acute variation at the initial stage of floating still can't be covered fully.
Embodiment
Explanation hereinafter and accompanying drawing will make aforementioned and other purposes of the present invention, feature, more obvious with advantage.Here describe in detail according to a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 4 shows the circuit block diagram according to no sensor motor control circuit 40 of the present invention.At first with known technology in the same manner, back electromotive force circuit for detecting 43 be coupled in loop A, B, with end points Pa, Pb and the Pc of C, with the float back electromotive force of coil of detecting.Yet in the present invention, the detection signal of back electromotive force circuit for detecting 43 is to be directly inputted to comparison circuit 45, and without any known adjustment of covering circuit 34 or correction.Subsequently, screening circuit 47 receives the comparison signal of comparison circuit 45 and analyzes, to select the mistake null event that can be used to control commutation.Based on selected the mistakes null event of screening circuit 47, drive signal combiner circuit 46 produces appropriate driving signal, is used to control commutation circuit 42 and makes motor 41 carry out commutation to operate.In other words, cover circuit and the method for known technology can be considered the technology that belongs to a kind of " before the zero passage detecting (pre-zero-crossing) ", yet can be considered the technology that belongs to a kind of " the zero passage detecting is (post-zero-crossing) afterwards " according to screening circuit of the present invention and method.
Fig. 5 shows the schematic diagram according to the operating principle of screening circuit 47 of the present invention.Cause for the purpose of simplifying the description is an example with coil B only in Fig. 5.Because the operating principle of loop A and coil C is identical with the operating principle of coil B, so those skilled in the art just can implement the integrated operation of the present invention in the three-phase motor system with this without difficulty behind the example of reading coil B.Especially, though disclosed embodiment of this invention is a three-phase motor, can be applicable to more heterogeneous motor, and be not limited to the motor of any specific kenel according to screening circuit of the present invention and method.
When motor 41 runs steadilies, the end points Pb voltage of coil B as shown in Figure 5.In the first and the 6th phase place P-I and P-VI, the end points Pb of coil B is coupled to earth potential, so its voltage maintains earth potential.In the second and the 5th phase place P-II and P-V, the end points Pb of coil B is in floating state, so its voltage is being represented back electromotive force.In the 3rd and the 4th phase place P-III and P-IV, the end points Pb of coil B is coupled to supply-voltage source V
mSo its voltage maintains supply-voltage source V
mAs previously mentioned, at the initial stage of the second phase place P-II, the end points Pb voltage of coil B is from earth potential moment high jump and than supply-voltage source V
mMore exceed a diode forward conduction voltage drop.Similarly, at the initial stage of the 4th phase place P-IV, the end points Pb voltage of coil B is from supply-voltage source V
mMoment descend and than earth potential lower a diode forward conduction voltage drop.
In comparison circuit 45, the end points Pb voltage of coil B and reference voltage V
RefMutually relatively.In the example that uses the linear mode CD-ROM drive motor, reference voltage V
RefCan implement by the voltage of direct detecting coupling central point N, perhaps only use supply-voltage source V merely
mHalf approximation as central point N voltage.In the example that uses pulse width modulation (pulse widthmodulation) mode CD-ROM drive motor, reference voltage V
RefCan implement by predetermined bucking voltage, for example United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 633, and No. 145 disclosed detecting modes are incorporated the document herein into as a reference here.
Examine Fig. 5 can find coil B be in floating state during in, no matter that is be the second phase place P-II or the 5th phase place P-V, reference voltage V all can take place to pass for twice in the end points Pb voltage of coil B
RefSituation.In the second phase place P-II, after the inductive current of the acute variation that causes the initial stage of floating was got rid of fully, the end points Pb voltage of coil B promptly was returned to reference voltage V for instance
RefBelow, ZC1 more takes place to hand over for the first time this moment.Subsequently, the end points Pb voltage of coil B rises gradually and passes reference voltage V once more
Ref, ZC2 more takes place to hand over for the second time this moment.Therefore, handing over for the first time and getting over ZC1 is the caused null event of crossing of initial stage noise, and ZC2 is only the mistake null event that can be used to control commutation and hand over more for the second time.No matter owing to the type of drive of motor, running speed, how to change with load state, have only to hand over for the second time to be only the mistake null event that can be used to control commutation more, be used for filtering out the ZC2 more of friendship for the second time so screening circuit 47 according to the present invention is based on this observation design.In other words, screening circuit 47 receives successively to be handed over comparison circuit 45 exported more ZC1 for the first time and hands over ZC2 more for the second time, just produces index signal when ZC2 takes place more to trigger drive signal combiner circuit 46 and have only to hand over for the second time by the time.By screening circuit 47, what no sensor motor control circuit 40 according to the present invention need not use known technology covers circuit 34, thereby needn't worry to cover fully the problem of the acute variation at the initial stage of floating.
Fig. 6 (A) shows the detailed circuit diagram according to first example of screening circuit 60 of the present invention.Comparison circuit 45 is implemented by the first comparator 45a and the second comparator 45b, is used to judge that the end points Pb voltage of coil B is to be greater than or less than reference voltage V
RefThe output of first and second comparator 45a and 45b is anti-phase relation just each other.NAND gate 61 and 62 is cross-couplings and a latch structure forming.The output signal K1 of NAND gate 61 is applied to the clock end Ck of D flip-flop 63, and the output signal K2 of NAND gate 62 then is applied to the clock end Ck of D flip-flop 64.D flip-flop 63 and 64 reset terminal R are controlled by the inversion signal of drive signal BD.Drive signal BD can be provided by drive signal combiner circuit 46, and wherein drive signal BD is in low level interval scale coil B and is in floating state.D flip-flop 63 and 64 output signal K3 and K4 are through NAND gate 65 and the clock end Ck of control toggle flip-flop 66.Therefore, toggle flip-flop 66 output zero passage index signal IZC are used to be fed to drive signal combiner circuit 46 suitably to control the commutation operation of motor.
Fig. 6 (B) shows the operation waveform sequential chart according to first example of screening circuit 60 of the present invention.At time t1, the end points Pb voltage of coil B is less than reference voltage V
RefSo the output signal K1 of NAND gate 61 is in high level, the output signal K2 of NAND gate 62 then is in low level.At time t2, coil B enters floating state, so the high jump of end points Pb voltage instantaneous surpasses reference voltage V
RefAt time t3, hand over ZC1 generation more for the first time, make the output signal K3 transition of D flip-flop 63 arrive high level.Yet this moment, the output signal K4 of D flip-flop 64 still maintained low level, so toggle flip-flop 66 is not triggered.At time t4, hand over ZC2 generation more for the second time, make the output signal K4 transition of D flip-flop 64 arrive high level.At this moment, because the output signal K3 and the K4 of D flip-flop 63 and 64 are high level, so being triggered, toggle flip-flop 66 make zero passage index signal IZC transition to high level.Therefore, screening circuit 60 filters out effectively and hands over the commutation of getting over ZC2 and correctly controlling motor for the second time.At time t5, drive signal BD to high level, makes the output signal K3 of D flip-flop 63 and 64 and K4 be reset to low level from the low level transition, with preparation screening operation next time.
At time t6, coil B enters floating state, so end points Pb voltage instantaneous descends and is lower than reference voltage V
RefAt time t7, hand over ZC1 generation more for the first time, make the output signal K4 transition of D flip-flop 64 arrive high level.Yet this moment, the output signal K3 of D flip-flop 63 still maintained low level, so toggle flip-flop 66 is not triggered.At time t8, hand over ZC2 generation more for the second time, make the output signal K3 transition of D flip-flop 63 arrive high level.At this moment, because the output signal K3 and the K4 of D flip-flop 63 and 64 are high level, so being triggered, toggle flip-flop 66 make zero passage index signal IZC transition to low level.Therefore, screening circuit 60 filters out effectively and hands over the commutation of getting over ZC2 and correctly controlling motor for the second time.At time t9, drive signal BD to high level, makes the output signal K3 of D flip-flop 63 and 64 and K4 be reset to low level from the low level transition, with preparation screening operation next time.
Fig. 7 shows the detailed circuit diagram according to second example of screening circuit 70 of the present invention.The screening circuit 70 of second example mainly comprises sampling record circuit 71 and sample set analysis circuit 72.Sampling record circuit 71 is taken a sample and record to the comparison signal that compares circuit 45 according to preset clock signal CLK, has the sample set [X1, X2, X3] of three samples with formation.Subsequently, sample set analysis circuit 72 is analyzed for the sample set that is write down [X1, X2, X3], hands over more ZC1 for the first time and selects and hand over more ZC2 as the mistake null event that can be used to control commutation for the second time to reject.Please note that the frequency of clock signal clk is high more in the example that uses the linear mode CD-ROM drive motor, sampling density is big more, can reduce error range more.In the example that uses the pulse width modulation CD-ROM drive motor, clock signal clk can directly use the pulse width modulation clock signal.
In first step, sampling record circuit 71 will also not enter end points Pb voltage and the reference voltage V of the coil B before the floating state
RefBetween comparison signal note as the first element X1.In second step, after coil B had entered floating state, 71 two consecutive cycles according to clock signal clk of sampling record circuit took a sample and record to the comparison signal that compares circuit 45, successively as second element X2 and the element X3.Thus, sampling record circuit 71 has just formed the sample set [X1, X2, X3] with three elements.In third step, sample set analysis circuit 72 judges whether these sample sets [X1, X2, X3] meet [L, L, H] or [H, H, L] any arrangement among both, and wherein L represents low level and H represents high level.If do not meet, then later repeat second step, upgrade second element X2 and the element X3 according to clock signal clk.Please note the value that the first element X1 still maintains in the first step to be write down.In case sample set [X1, X2, X3] meets [L, L, H] or [H, H, L] any arrangement among both, sample set analysis circuit 72 is just judged and is handed over the generation of ZC2 more for the second time.
The screening technique of second example can refer back to Fig. 5 and obtain tangible checking.As shown in Figure 5, suppose that coil B is coupled in earth potential before entering floating state, that is be in the first phase place P-I that then the first element X1 that noted down of sampling record circuit 71 is low level L in first step.Coil B subsequently is among the second phase place P-II of floating state, hands over for the first time end points Pb voltage that ZC1 more occurs in coil B from greater than reference voltage V
RefBe transformed into less than reference voltage V
RefSituation.Therefore, the second element X2 of institute's sampling record is high level H before the ZC1 generation is got in the friendship first time, and the element X3 of institute's sampling record is low level L after the ZC1 generation is got in friendship for the first time.Yet, hand over for the second time end points Pb voltage that ZC2 more occurs in coil B from less than reference voltage V
RefBe transformed into greater than reference voltage V
RefSituation.Therefore, the second element X2 of institute's sampling record is low level L before the ZC2 generation is got in the friendship second time, and the element X3 of institute's sampling record is high level H after the ZC2 generation is got in friendship for the second time.Hence one can see that, in the second phase place P-II, is only indication and hands over the generation of ZC2 more for the second time when the sample set that is write down is [L, L, H].
Similarly, suppose that coil B is coupled in supply-voltage source V before entering floating state
m, that is be in the 4th phase place P-IV, then the first element X1 that noted down in first step of sampling record circuit 71 is high level H.Coil B subsequently is among the 5th phase place P-V of floating state, hands over for the first time end points Pb voltage that ZC1 more occurs in coil B from less than reference voltage V
RefBe transformed into greater than reference voltage V
RefSituation.Therefore, the second element X2 of institute's sampling record is low level L before the ZC1 generation is got in the friendship first time, and the element X3 of institute's sampling record is high level H after the ZC1 generation is got in friendship for the first time.Yet, hand over for the second time end points Pb voltage that ZC2 more occurs in coil B from greater than reference voltage V
RefBe transformed into less than reference voltage V
RefSituation.Therefore, the second element X2 of institute's sampling record is high level H before the ZC2 generation is got in the friendship second time, and the element X3 of institute's sampling record is low level L after the ZC2 generation is got in friendship for the second time.Hence one can see that, in the 5th phase place P-V, is only indication and hands over the generation of ZC2 more for the second time when the sample set that is write down is [H, H, L].
Referring again to Fig. 7, sampling record circuit 71 mainly comprises Port Multiplier 73 and three D flip-flop F1 to F3.Drive signal BD is applied to the selecting side S of Port Multiplier 73, and through anti-phase after-applied clock end Ck to D flip-flop F1.Drive signal BD can be provided by drive signal combiner circuit 46, and wherein drive signal BD is in low level interval scale coil B and is in floating state.When drive signal BD was in high level, Port Multiplier 73 allowed the inversion signal of zero passage index signal IZC to pass through.When drive signal BD was in low level, Port Multiplier 73 allowed the comparison signal of comparison circuit 45 to pass through.D flip-flop F1 operates according to drive signal BD, so can write down the first element X1 before the floating state.D flip-flop F2 and F3 operate according to clock signal clk, write down second element X2 and the element X3 successively, thus the second element X2 than element X3 Zao the cycle of a clock signal clk.Sample set analysis circuit 72 mainly comprises logical circuit 74 and D flip-flop F4.First is applied to whether logical circuit 74 meets [L, L, H] or [H, H, L] to analyze it arrangement to element X1 to X3.In other words, when the first element X1 is same as the second element X2 and the second element X2 when being different from element X3, the output of logical circuit 74 promptly becomes high level from the low level transition, and representative detects and hands over the generation of ZC2 more for the second time.Because the output of logical circuit 74 is applied to the clock end Ck of D flip-flop F4, so when logical circuit 74 detected the generation of handing over ZC2 more for the second time, D flip-flop F4 was promptly triggered and makes zero passage index signal IZC transition.Therefore, screening circuit 70 filters out effectively and hands over the commutation operation of getting over ZC2 and correctly controlling motor for the second time.
