TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a motor control device that controls the frequency of a brushless DC motor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a motor control device for controlling the number of revolutions of a brushless DC motor, there are a 120 ° energization type and a sine wave 180 ° energization type.
[0003]
The 120 ° energization method is a method of directly detecting a zero-cross signal of an induced voltage in the above patent, and is obtained by comparing an inverter phase voltage with a reference voltage in order to detect the zero-cross signal. The commutation signal is changed based on the zero cross signal. This zero-cross signal is generated 12 times during one rotation of the motor, and is generated every mechanical angle of 30 °, that is, every electrical angle of 60 ° (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0004]
In the 180 ° conduction method, the above-mentioned patent amplifies a differential voltage between a neutral point potential of a motor winding and a neutral point potential of a three-phase Y-connected resistor with respect to a three-phase inverter output voltage, and integrates the amplified voltage. A position detection signal corresponding to the induced voltage is obtained by comparing the output signal of the integration circuit with the output signal of the integration circuit and the low-pass signal obtained by processing the output signal by the filter circuit and cutting the direct current. The position detection signal is generated 12 times during one rotation of the motor, and is generated every mechanical angle of 30 °, that is, every electrical angle of 60 °. In this method, phase correction control is required to pass through the integration circuit (for example, refer to Patent Documents 2 and 3).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional configuration has the following problems.
[0007]
FIG. 6 is a control block diagram of a conventional motor control device. In this 120 ° energization method, the zero crossing of the induced voltage part is compared. Therefore, when the motor load suddenly changes or the power supply voltage suddenly changes, the zero crossing signal of the induced voltage is hidden in the inverter output voltage area, and the detection is performed. May not be possible. In such a state, a step-out phenomenon occurs first, and the inverter system stops. In addition, when the motor is driven at 120 °, the induced voltage per phase can be continuously confirmed at an electrical angle of 60 °. However, in order to reduce the noise and vibration during motor operation, the motor is operated at an energization angle set to about 150 °. In such a case, the induced voltage per phase can be continuously confirmed only for an electrical angle of 30 °, and the risk of step-out due to the influence of the inverter regenerative voltage increases even during normal operation, and unstable phenomena such as turbulence also occur. There was a tendency to occur easily. In addition, this configuration has a problem that operation near 180 ° energization is impossible at first. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing the relationship between the phase current waveform and the induced voltage waveform in the 120 ° conduction method. During normal operation, it is necessary to set the position of the phase current 20 with respect to the induced voltage 10 and to advance the phase current 20 to increase the maximum number of revolutions, but the limit is fast and the high-speed rotation performance is inferior.
[0008]
FIG. 7B is a diagram showing the relationship between the phase current waveform and the induced voltage waveform in the 180 ° conduction method. In the 180 ° energization method, since the zero-cross position of the induced voltage cannot be accurately grasped by an absolute value because it passes through an integration circuit, and the phase difference between the zero-cross position and the position detection signal greatly changes depending on the operation state. Complex control such as phase correction is required, making it difficult to adjust the phase correction and complicating the control calculation. Further, there is a problem that the motor requires a neutral point output terminal and cannot be used in a motor using a sine wave magnetized magnet because the third harmonic component of the induced voltage waveform is used.
[0009]
In addition, in the sensorless sine wave 180 ° energization drive control using the current feedback method, a calculation error increases because the magnetic pole position of the motor is estimated and calculated from the motor current and the motor electrical constant, and the limit point of the advance control of the motor current is increased. There was a problem that the maximum number of revolutions was far from the control with the position sensor.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and an object thereof is to provide a sine wave 180 ° energization with a position sensor with a new method of induced voltage feedback control that does not require a mechanical electromagnetic pickup sensor. An object of the present invention is to provide a motor control device which achieves the same level of high-speed performance, further improves the out-of-step limit torque in any operation load range, and furthermore, is inexpensive and has high reliability.
[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0015]
FIG. 1 is a control block diagram of the motor control device of the present embodiment. The motor control device of the present embodiment is a motor control device that controls the rotation speed of the three-phase brushless DC motor 7. In this figure, a motor control device converts a DC voltage 4 into an AC voltage and outputs the DC voltage to an three-phase brushless DC motor (hereinafter abbreviated as BLM) 7. Voltage detection means 1, magnetic pole position detection means 2 for detecting the magnetic pole position of the brushless DC motor from the induced voltage, voltage control means 3 for outputting a voltage waveform based on the magnetic pole position output from the magnetic pole position detection means 2, PWM control means 5 for converting a voltage waveform into a PWM signal, regenerative voltage detecting means 8 for detecting a regenerative voltage included in the induced voltage, and a magnetic pole position for determining a magnetic pole position based on the detected regenerative voltage and the induced voltage Detecting means 2.
[0016]
The PWM control means 5 outputs a PWM signal for controlling the applied voltage, frequency and phase for controlling the rotation speed of the BLM 7. The DC / AC converter 6 is composed of six switching elements (FIG. 2A) that open and close at a high speed.
[0017]
First, in FIG. 1, the roles of the induced voltage detecting means 1, the magnetic pole position detecting means 2, the voltage controlling means 3, and the PWM controlling means 5 will be sequentially described. This part is the same as the operation of the control block diagram of the conventional motor control device in FIG.
[0018]
In FIG. 1, the induced voltage detecting means 1 lowers the induced voltage of the BLM 7, the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 detects the induced voltage zero cross signal, and outputs the induced voltage zero cross signal to the voltage control means 3 as the magnetic pole position. The voltage control means 3 calculates a voltage waveform for driving the BLM 7 based on the magnetic pole position, and outputs it to the PWM control means 5. The PWM control means 5 outputs a PWM signal to the DC / AC conversion means 6 based on the voltage waveform. In the motor control device configured as described above, the rotation speed of the BLM 7 is controlled by changing the frequency and phase (hereinafter, referred to as “inverter frequency”) of the AC voltage output from the DC / AC converter 6. .
[0019]
In the case of the 120 ° energization method, the PWM control means 5 outputs six types of PWM signals for opening and closing the switching elements of the DC / AC conversion means 6, and the switching elements are opened and closed by the six types of PWM signals. The inverter frequency output from the AC converter 6 is controlled.
[0020]
The six types of PWM signals will be described. The six PWM signals are pulse signals for driving the switching elements of the DC / AC converter 6. The PWM signal has six basic patterns PTN1 to PTN6 in one cycle of the inverter electrical angle, and the reciprocal of one cycle of the PWM signal is the inverter frequency.
[0021]
In fact, as a method for changing the rotation speed of the BLM 7, the PWM control unit 5 controls the rotation speed of the BLM 7 while changing the inverter frequency of the DC / AC conversion unit 6.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2A, the DC / AC converter 6 has six switching elements, and one switching element is provided on the upper arm and one switching element is provided on the lower arm for the U, V, and W phases. It has one element.
[0023]
In the PTN1, the U-phase upper arm switching element Tu and the V-phase lower arm switching element Ty are energized.
[0024]
In PTN2, the U-phase upper arm switching element Tu and the W-phase lower arm switching element Tz are energized.
[0025]
In PTN3, the V-phase upper arm switching element Tv and the W-phase lower arm switching element Tz are energized.
[0026]
In PTN4, the V-phase upper arm switching element Tv and the U-phase lower arm switching element Tx are energized.
[0027]
In the PTN 5, the W-phase upper arm switching element Tw and the U-phase lower arm switching element Tx are energized.
[0028]
In the PTN 6, the W-phase upper arm switching element Tw and the V-phase lower arm switching element Ty are energized.
[0029]
The commutation switching of the PWM signal is performed based on the voltage waveform output of the voltage control means 3.
[0030]
The detailed operation of the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 2B and FIGS. The induced voltage zero cross signal of the BLM 7 occurs six times in one cycle of the electrical angle. FIG. 3A shows an induced voltage zero cross signal per phase. FIG. 3A is a relationship diagram between a phase current waveform and a phase induced voltage waveform, and shows an induced voltage 10, a phase current 9, a positive zero-cross signal 11 thereof, and an inverse zero-cross signal 12. The positive zero cross signal 11 is generated at an electrical angle of 0 °, and the reverse zero cross signal 12 is generated at an electrical angle of 180 °. The induced voltage that can be actually observed by the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 is as shown in FIG. 3B, induced voltage 10a and FIG. 4B, 10b if the negative side of the DC voltage 4 is set to the GND potential N. This means that the line voltage of the BLM 7 is observed. If the induced voltage near the zero-cross signal is considered, a waveform in which the PWM voltage component is superimposed on the voltage waveform of the induced voltage 10 is obtained. . Basically, the intersection of the half of the DC voltage VDC (= VDC / 2) and the induced voltage 10a (10b), and furthermore, the upper arm element and the lower arm element of the DC / AC converter 6 are each connected to one conduction point. During the arcing period (the TON portion in FIGS. 3 and 4), the positive zero-cross signal 11 (reverse zero-cross signal 12) can be detected.
[0031]
The magnetic pole position detecting means 2 detects the positive zero cross signal 11 and the reverse zero cross signal 12 in the figure, and outputs them to the voltage control means 3 as magnetic pole positions. The voltage control means 3 calculates a voltage waveform substantially similar to the phase current 9 based on the zero-cross signal, and the PWM control means 5 creates a base PTN of a PWM signal corresponding to each electrical angle based on the voltage waveform. I do. The electric angles X1 to X2 in FIG. 3 and the electric angles X3 to X4 in FIG. 4 are current cut sections. Further, the voltage control means 3 can create a voltage waveform of a 120 ° to 180 ° conduction waveform. However, in order to observe the induced voltage, the conduction angle needs to be less than 180 °.
[0032]
When the conduction angle is greater than 120 °, a PWM signal for driving a three-phase sine wave is added in addition to the six PWM signals described in the 120 ° conduction method. Basically, a PWM signal for a 120-degree conduction method is used in a section in which the current is turned off in any one of the three phases (a current cut section). In a section in which phase currents flow in all three phases, a three-phase sine wave driving PWM signal is used. Since the PWM signal is a known technique as three-phase sine wave PWM control, a detailed description thereof is omitted here.
[0033]
Although the voltage waveform output from the voltage control means 3 is substantially similar to the phase current 9, the phase difference is slightly advanced with respect to the phase current 9. In this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the description will be made assuming that the phase difference is zero. That is, voltage waveform 定義 phase current 9 is defined.
[0034]
FIG. 8 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the BLM 7. R1 is the primary resistance of the winding, Lu, Lv, Lw is the inductance of each phase, and Eu, Ev, Ew is the field induced voltage of each phase. Here, the field induced voltage means an induced voltage generated only by a magnet (field) when the BLM 7 rotates in a non-energized state. FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the relationship between the field induced voltage waveforms of the three-phase brushless DC motor. In the drawing, U1 represents the positive zero-cross position of Eu, and U2 represents the reverse zero-cross position. Similarly, other phases are also described, and the intervals between the zero cross positions are ideally generated every 60 ° and six times per one cycle of the electrical angle. These zero cross positions are referred to as true magnetic pole positions of BLM7.
[0035]
The true magnetic pole position of the BLM 7 cannot be directly determined from the zero cross signal of the induced voltage 10 due to the effect of the armature reaction, and a phase difference occurs between the two. Further, since this phase difference depends on the operation load, it is difficult to identify the true magnetic pole position from the induced voltage zero cross signal. However, even if the true magnetic pole position cannot be specified, it is sufficiently possible to control the rotation speed of the BLM 7 only by the induced voltage zero cross signal, and it may be more preferable to control the BLM 7 by the induced voltage. In this embodiment, the description will be made on the assumption that the phase difference between the two is zero. That is, true magnetic pole position 極 induced voltage zero cross position. That is, if the induced voltage 10 in FIG. 3A corresponds to the U phase,
Zero cross U1≡positive zero cross signal 11
Zero cross U2≡Reverse zero cross signal 12. In addition,
Eu ≠ induced voltage 10.
[0036]
The above equation is generated because the voltage waveform amplitudes of the two are different due to the effect of the armature reaction. Next, the detailed operation of the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. FIG. Generally, the condition for generating the regenerative voltage is that the regenerative voltage is generated for a predetermined time continuously from the moment when the phase current of the BLM 7 is cut, and then the original induced voltage is generated. The output of the induced voltage detecting means 1 includes both the regenerative voltage and the induced voltage, and it is necessary to determine both. If this discrimination is erroneous, the regenerative voltage portion may be erroneously detected as a zero-cross signal of the induced voltage, and abnormal phenomena such as tune-out and step-out occur.
[0037]
FIGS. 3B and 4B show the relationship between the regenerative voltage and the induced voltage. FIG. 3 shows a case where the time differential value is positive as the induced voltage 10, and FIG. 4 shows a case where the time differential value is negative as the induced voltage 10. In the figure, the regenerative voltage 13 and the regenerative voltage 14 are generated from the moment when the phase current 9 is cut, and continue to the regenerative voltage end point 19 and the regenerative voltage end point 22. As one of the necessary conditions for determining the positive zero-cross signal 11,
Induced voltage 10a ≧ VDC / 2
One of the necessary conditions for determining the inverse zero-cross signal 12 is as follows.
There is an induced voltage 10b ≦ VDC / 2.
[0038]
However, since the voltage value of the regenerative voltage 13 is VDC before the positive zero-cross signal 11 is detected, the relationship of the above equation is already satisfied and erroneous detection is performed. In order to prevent this, in the position detection in the drawing, the position detection result is ignored before the regenerative voltage end point 19, and the determination of the position detection is started after the regenerative voltage end point 19, so that the regenerative voltage 13 is changed to the positive zero-cross signal 11 Is not erroneously detected.
[0039]
Similarly, in the case of the reverse zero-cross signal 12, the voltage value of the regenerative voltage 14 is 0 V, which already satisfies the relationship of the above equation and is erroneously detected. In order to prevent this, the determination of the position detection section in the figure is started after the regenerative voltage end point 22. As described above, the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 outputs the regenerative voltage end point 19 and the regenerative voltage end point 22 to the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 as a regenerative end signal. 13. Ignore position detection of regenerative voltage 14. If the signal is received, the determination of the position detection is started, so that the original positive zero-cross signal 11 and reverse zero-cross signal 12 can be determined.
[0040]
The regenerative voltage detecting means 8 has a VTH1 regenerative determination reference voltage 17 and a VTH2 regenerative determination reference voltage 18 therein, and makes a determination by comparing the values with the regenerative voltages 13 and 14. Specifically, VTH1 regeneration determination reference voltage 17 = regenerative voltage coefficient * VDC
VTH2 regeneration determination reference voltage 18 = regeneration voltage coefficient * VDC,
It is a real number satisfying 0 ≦ regeneration voltage coefficient ≦ 1.
[0041]
The regenerative voltage coefficient may be set appropriately. The regenerative voltage detecting means 8 samples the regenerative voltage 13 and the regenerative voltage 14. That is, a regeneration detection point 15 and a regeneration detection point 16. The regenerative voltage detection means 8 performs voltage sampling from the electrical angles X1 and X3, which are the current cut start points, to obtain the voltages Vij at the regenerative detection points 15 and 16. This voltage Vij will be described with reference to FIG.
[0042]
FIG. 5 illustrates the voltage sampling operation of the regenerative voltage detecting means 8. T = 0 in the figure corresponds to the electric angles X1 and X3 at the current cut start point. From T = 0, the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 starts sampling the induced voltage of the induced voltage detecting means 1 (still a regenerative voltage at this time), and the regenerative voltage end point 19 where the regenerative voltage ends and the regenerative voltage end point 22 , A regeneration end signal is created for the magnetic pole position detecting means 2. From T = 0, a Vij regeneration detection point 30, which is a regenerative voltage fetch, is acquired at intervals of time Tij31, and the regenerative voltage is determined for each of V0j, V1j, V2j,..., Vij. Here, i and j are arbitrary natural numbers. When judging the regenerative voltage,
Vi = Σ (Vip) / (j + 1); p = 0 → j is determined, and the regenerative voltage is determined by comparing Vi with VTH1 or VTH2. That is, in the case of FIG.
Vi ≧ VTH1
In the case of FIG.
Vi ≤ VTH2
In this case, Vi is regarded as a regenerative voltage. As long as the above condition is satisfied, the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 ignores all position detection results. Then, when the above condition is not satisfied, the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 sends a regenerative end signal to the magnetic pole position detecting means 2, and the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 receives the signal and detects the position. Start judgment. Upon receiving the regeneration end signal, the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 obtains the positive zero-cross signal 11 and the reverse zero-cross signal 12 based on the conventional determination criterion described above. When the position determination is completed, the current cut ends at the electrical angle X2 after the lapse of the wait time in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the phase commutation (switching of the base PTN) is performed.
[0043]
Next, the operation of the regeneration timeout detecting means 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the regenerative timeout detecting means 40 measures the regenerative detection operation continuation time of the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 from T = 0. When T ≧ timeout time, the regenerative timeout signal is output from the regenerative voltage detecting means 8. Send to The regenerative voltage detecting means 8 forcibly terminates the regenerative voltage detecting operation in response to the regenerative timeout signal regardless of the current operation state. At the time of the forced termination, the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 sends a regenerative end signal to the magnetic pole position detecting means 2, and the magnetic pole position detecting means 2 detects the induced voltage zero cross by the method described above. Now, the regenerative timeout detecting means sets the above timeout time, and this numerical value is preferably a real numerical value in the range of 0 to 60 electrical degrees in terms of the electrical angle of the inverter. This is because, in the case of a three-phase motor, the induced voltage zero-cross signal is generated every electrical angle of 60 °. Therefore, in a normal operation range, the duration of the regenerative voltage rarely exceeds the electrical angle of 60 °. I can't say that. Basically, it is impossible to operate the regenerative voltage continuously exceeding the electrical angle of 60 ° at all times. Therefore, if the regenerative voltage duration exceeds 60 ° due to some abnormality, it is highly possible that an error in the control system has occurred. In that case, the operation of the regenerative voltage detecting means 8 is forcibly terminated. Then, since it switches to the next base PTN at that time, there is a high possibility that the motor control device will continue to operate.
[0044]
There is also a method of making the timeout time proportional to a value obtained by dividing the inductance component L, which is a motor constant of the BLM 7, by the DC voltage VDC. Generally, the regeneration voltage duration ΔT increases in proportion to the inductance component L and decreases in inverse proportion to the DC voltage VDC. Therefore, setting the timeout time in proportion to the value of ΔT improves the setting accuracy and the setting accuracy for the timeout time. Assuming that the rotation speed of the BLM 7 is fm and the phase current value at the moment of the current cut is im for a specific terminal to be cut,
ΔT∝L · im / (VDC−k · fm); k can be represented by a constant.
[0045]
Since the above equation is a simplified solution and not an exact solution, it includes some errors.
[0046]
Since k is small at the time of current cut, if the second term of the above denominator is ignored,
ΔT∝ (L / VDC) · im.
[0047]
Assuming that im is almost constant and can be ignored, ΔT becomes ΔT∝L / VDC.
[0048]
What is necessary is just to make a timeout time proportional to said (DELTA) T.
[0049]
As described above, the present embodiment has been described by taking a three-phase brushless DC motor as an example. However, the concept of application to a single-phase brushless DC motor is the same, and a scope that does not depart from the gist, concept, and claims of the present invention is described. It is of course possible to change, add, or delete the embodiment within the above.
