Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for detecting a deviation from a reference position when a position detection sensor such as a resolver is attached to a motor. More specifically, the present invention relates to a deviation detecting device and a deviation detecting method for detecting deviation by comparing a signal from a position detecting sensor and an induced voltage of a motor, and a method for manufacturing an electric motor with a position detecting sensor using them. .

  Position detection sensors such as encoders and resolvers detect the position or rotational speed of the rotor of the motor. In order to accurately perform the rotation control and the position control of the motor, it is preferable that the position accuracy for attaching the position detection sensor is high. In order to attach the position detection sensor with such high positional accuracy, a displacement detection device may be used in the motor manufacturing process. This is to correct the deviation based on the deviation detected by the deviation detecting device. As a result, a motor with excellent controllability can be produced.

  By the way, there exists a thing like patent document 1 as a deviation detection method, for example. In the technique of this document, first, a rotor of a vehicle drive motor (hereinafter simply referred to as “motor”) as a subject is rotated using a motor different from the subject. Next, the induced voltage generated by the rotation of the rotor is detected. Further, in this deviation detection method, a signal from the position detection sensor is also detected. After that, the induced voltage waveform is compared with the waveform from the position detection sensor to detect the deviation. In making this comparison, the time at the point where the induced voltage waveform crosses the zero potential (hereinafter referred to as the “zero cross point”) is used as a reference.

JP 2002-354876 A

  However, the induced voltage generated by the rotation of the rotor is affected by harmonic noise inevitably generated by the structure of the stator. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the induced voltage waveform may be nearly flat with no significant change in voltage over time. When a location near the flat (flat shape) of this waveform crosses the zero potential, the time at the zero cross point cannot be detected with high accuracy. For this reason, it has been difficult to attach an accurate shift detection and position detection sensor with high accuracy.

  In order to reduce the above-described error, in Patent Document 1, the rotor of the electric motor is rotated forward (S120) and negatively (S124). The average value of the zero cross point at the time of positive rotation and the zero cross point at the time of negative rotation obtained in this way is taken as a reference point. However, when the flat shape crosses the zero potential, an error is still caused when the time of the zero cross point is obtained. Further, the deviation is not always the same between the positive rotation and the negative rotation. Therefore, the accuracy of the reference point obtained by the above-described deviation detection method is not high. Further, in the deviation detection method of Patent Document 1, since the measurement is performed twice, that is, the positive rotation and the negative rotation, the time required for the inspection is long.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art. That is, the problem is to provide a deviation detecting device and a deviation detecting method for detecting the deviation of the reference position of the position detecting sensor attached to the motor with high accuracy, and a method for manufacturing the electric motor with the position detecting sensor using them. is there.

  In order to solve this problem, the deviation detecting device of the present invention includes a stator around which a coil is wound, a rotor to which a permanent magnet is fixed, a position detection sensor for detecting the rotational position of the rotor, and A displacement detection device for detecting a displacement amount of a reference position of the position detection sensor in an electric motor with a position detection sensor, the rotation drive unit for rotating the rotor from the outside, and the coil by the rotation of the rotor A voltage detection unit for detecting the generated induced voltage; and a control unit, wherein the control unit includes an amplitude limiting unit that replaces the voltage with the threshold when the voltage of the induced voltage waveform is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold. , A filter unit that extracts a fundamental wave from the output waveform of the amplitude limiter unit, and a deviation calculation that calculates a deviation amount from the fundamental wave output from the filter unit and the signal output from the position detection sensor It is characterized in further comprising and.

  Such a deviation detecting device can detect the deviation of the mounting position of the position detection sensor of the electric motor with position detection sensor on the basis of the induced voltage waveform. In addition, it is possible to accurately detect the time at which the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage waveform crosses the zero potential.

  In the deviation detecting apparatus described above, the filter unit may be a low-pass filter or a band-pass filter. This is because a fundamental wave having an accurate phase can be extracted from the induced voltage waveform.

  In addition, the displacement detection method of the present invention includes an electric motor with a position detection sensor having a stator around which a coil is wound, a rotor to which a permanent magnet is fixed, and a position detection sensor for detecting the rotational position of the rotor. A deviation detection method for detecting a deviation amount of a reference position of the position detection sensor in the motor, wherein the rotor is rotated by power external to the electric motor with the position detection sensor, and is generated in the coil by the rotation of the rotor. An induced voltage is detected, and when the detected induced voltage is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, amplitude restriction is performed to replace that voltage with the threshold value, a fundamental wave is extracted from the amplitude-limited induced voltage waveform, and the position detection is performed. A signal waveform output from the sensor is detected, and a deviation is calculated by comparing the signal waveform output from the position detection sensor with a fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage waveform. It is intended to.

  Such a shift detection method can detect a shift in the mounting position of the position detection sensor of the electric motor with a position detection sensor based on the induced voltage waveform. In addition, it is possible to accurately detect the time at which the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage waveform crosses the zero potential.

In the deviation detection method described above, the deviation is calculated by the following equation: Asin θ = B
θ: Angle of deviation
A: Peak amplitude of resolver signal waveform
B: It may be calculated from the voltage value of the resolver signal at the time of the zero cross point of the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage. This is because it is still possible to accurately detect the deviation.

Further, in the deviation detection method described above, the deviation is calculated by the following equation: θ = α · N
θ: Angle of deviation
α: Angle of sampling interval
N: Number of samplings at time T
T: You may calculate by the space | interval of the zero cross point of a resolver signal, and the zero cross point of an induced voltage. This is because it is still possible to accurately detect the deviation.

  The method of manufacturing an electric motor with a position detection sensor according to the present invention includes a stator around which a coil is wound, a rotor to which a permanent magnet is fixed, and a position detection sensor for detecting the rotational position of the rotor. A method for manufacturing a motor with a position detection sensor, wherein the rotor is rotated by power external to the motor with a position detection sensor while the position detection sensor is temporarily fixed to the rotor.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the deviation detection apparatus and the deviation detection method which detect the gap | deviation of the reference position of the position detection sensor attached to an electric motor with high precision, and the manufacturing method of the electric motor with a position detection sensor using them are provided.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the best mode for embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present embodiment embodies the present invention regarding a displacement detection device, a displacement detection method, and a method of manufacturing an electric motor with a position detection sensor using them.

[First embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 2, the displacement detection apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment uses the electric motor 1 with a position detection sensor as a subject. The position detection sensor-equipped electric motor 1 includes an electric motor 10 and a resolver 18. The electric motor 10 has a stator 11 and a rotor 12. Here, the rotor 12 is provided with an 8-pole permanent magnet. In addition, coils 14U, 14V, and 14W are wound around the stator. The resolver 18 is a position detection sensor that detects the rotational position of the rotor 12. In the resolver 18, a primary coil is fixed to the rotor 12, and two secondary coils are fixed to the stator 11. The two secondary coils fixed to the stator 11 are arranged so as to form an angle of 90 ° with each other.

  Here, the resolver 18 is temporarily fixed to the electric motor 10. That is, the position accuracy of the resolver 18 is not high at this stage. Therefore, by using the deviation detecting device 100 and the deviation detecting method of this embodiment, the deviation from the reference position of the mounting position of the resolver 18 is detected. Then, by correcting this deviation, it is possible to manufacture the electric motor 1 with a position detection sensor excellent in rotation controllability and position controllability.

  The deviation detection device 100 includes a motor 22, a three-phase balanced load circuit 24, voltage detection lines 26U, 26V, and 26W, an R / D converter (resolver digital converter) 28, a waveform conversion circuit 30, and an electronic control unit 40. And have.

  The motor 22 is a rotation drive unit for rotating the rotor 12 of the electric motor 1 with a position detection sensor, which is a subject, from the outside. The three-phase balanced load circuit 24 is a voltage detection unit having resistors 25U, 25V, and 25W. The resistors 25U, 25V, and 25W are connected at the respective centers, and the center points are grounded. Resistors 25U, 25V, and 25W detect induced voltages generated in the phase coils 14U, 14V, and 14W, respectively, and transmit signals to the voltage detection lines 26U, 26V, and 26W. The voltage detection lines 26U, 26V, and 26W are for transmitting the induced voltage detected by the resistors 25U, 25V, and 25W to the electronic control unit 40. On the other hand, the R / D converter 28 takes the arc tangent from the sine wave and cosine wave output from the two secondary coils forming the 90 ° angle of the resolver 18 and outputs the angle of the rotor 12. .

  The waveform conversion circuit 30 is a waveform shaping unit for shaping a sine wave using an interpolation method or the like based on the signal output from the resolver 18. The signal from the resolver 18 is a discrete value for each sampling period. For this reason, for example, when determining the time of the zero cross point of the resolver signal, there is a large error if it is calculated using two points of the positive potential and the negative potential near the zero cross point. Therefore, a decision with a smaller error is made by using a waveform shaped into a sine waveform.

  The electronic control unit 40 is a control unit that includes a CPU 42, a ROM 44, a RAM 46, and a low-pass filter (LPF) 48. The electronic control unit 40 has an amplitude limiting function, a filter function, and a deviation calculation function. Further, the motor 22 is controlled. The CPU 42 is an arithmetic processing unit for performing a deviation detection process. The ROM 44 is for storing a processing program. The RAM 46 is for temporarily storing data for processing by the CPU 42. The low-pass filter 48 is a filter unit for removing harmonic components from the induced voltage generated in the electric motor 10. Note that the low-pass filter 48 may remove harmonic components not only from the induced voltage but also from the signal output from the resolver 18. The induced voltage is input to the electronic control unit 40 through the voltage detection lines 26U, 26V, and 26W. The electronic control unit 40 receives the digitized resolver 18 signal from the R / D converter 28 and the resolver 18 signal shaped into a sine wave from the waveform conversion circuit 30.

  Here, a method of detecting a deviation from the reference position of the resolver 18 by the deviation detecting device 100 of the present embodiment will be described. First, the overall flow of the deviation detection process will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the overall flow of the deviation detection process performed by the deviation detection device 100. For the sake of simplicity, description will be given focusing on only the U phase among the three phases U, V, and W.

  First, the rotor 12 is rotationally driven at a predetermined rotational speed by the rotation of the motor 22 (S10). Next, after the rotation of the rotor 12 is stabilized, an induced voltage detected by each phase coil 14U, 14V, 14W and a signal output from the resolver are acquired (S20). Here, the resolver signal is shaped into a sine wave by the waveform conversion circuit 30 (see the upper part of FIG. 9).

  On the other hand, the induced voltage is input from the voltage detection lines 26U, 26V, and 26W. The input induced voltage waveform is partially flat due to the influence of harmonic noise (see FIG. 5). Next, the acquired induced voltage waveform is shaped (S30). Details of this processing will be described later. By shaping the waveform, the induced voltage waveform changes from a distorted waveform to a waveform close to a sine wave (see the lower part of FIG. 9). Thereafter, the amount of deviation θ is calculated by comparing the induced voltage waveform and the resolver signal waveform (S40). Details of this processing will also be described later. As a result, the shift amount θ was obtained.

  Here, shaping of the acquired induced voltage waveform (S30) will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the acquired induced voltage waveform is partially flat as shown in FIG. In addition, the influence of harmonics appears particularly near the peak value of the induced voltage waveform (see FIGS. 10A and 10B). Furthermore, the phase of the extracted fundamental wave is easily affected by values near the peak value. Therefore, the amplitude is cut as shown in FIG. 6 (S31). The broken line in FIG. 6 is the same as the induced voltage waveform of the solid line in FIG. Here, the cut of the amplitude is to provide a predetermined threshold value for the voltage of the induced voltage waveform (dashed line in FIG. 6) and replace the voltage value with the threshold value (solid line in FIG. 6) when the voltage value is equal to or higher than the threshold value. This is the same as the function of an amplitude limiter. The threshold value to be set is a value corresponding to a height of about 1/5 to 1/3 of the total amplitude. Due to this amplitude limitation, a waveform with less influence of harmonics was obtained. For this reason, there is almost no phase shift when the fundamental wave is subsequently extracted. Moreover, if the height for cutting the amplitude is too high, the influence of the harmonics remains large. On the other hand, if it is too low, it does not hold as a waveform.

  Next, the harmonic component is removed from the induced voltage waveform (dashed line in FIG. 7) whose amplitude is limited (S32). Here, the broken line in FIG. 7 is the same as the solid line in FIG. A low-pass filter 48 is used to remove this harmonic component. As a result, the fundamental wave (solid line in FIG. 7) is extracted from the induced voltage waveform. The fundamental wave extracted in this manner (solid line in FIG. 7) is extracted from the induced voltage waveform (dashed line in FIG. 7) in which the influence of the harmonics is reduced by cutting the amplitude. For this reason, this fundamental wave (solid line in FIG. 7) is very little affected by the phase-shifted harmonics. That is, a more reliable waveform that is a reference for detecting the shift amount θ at the position where the resolver 18 is attached with high accuracy was obtained.

  Here, a calculation method (S40) of the deviation amount θ will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for calculating the deviation amount θ. FIG. 9 shows the shaped resolver signal waveform and the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage. The difference between the time when the resolver signal waveform crosses the zero potential and the time when the fundamental wave crosses the zero potential corresponds to the shift amount θ. The vertical axis represents voltage. The horizontal axis is the angle. The angle is easily obtained from the rotational speed of the rotor 12 and time.

First, the zero cross point is read from the fundamental wave of the induced voltage waveform (S41). Next, the voltage value B (see FIG. 9) of the resolver signal waveform at that time is read (S42). Next, the amplitude of the resolver signal waveform, that is, the peak value A (see FIG. 9) is read (S43). Next, a deviation amount θ is obtained from the obtained peak value A and voltage value B using the following equation (1) (S44).
Asin θ = B (1)

  Here, a case where the amplitude is not cut (S31) will be described for comparison. The distortions A and B in FIG. 10 are due to the influence of harmonics. For this reason, when the harmonic component is directly removed by the low-pass filter 48, as shown in FIG. 11, the time when the original induced voltage waveform intersects with the zero potential and the time when the extracted fundamental wave intersects with the zero potential are obtained. May be different. This is because the phase is shifted when the fundamental wave is extracted because the influence of the harmonic component is large near the peak value. The phase of the fundamental wave is easily affected by the waveform near the peak value. Also, it is not the induced voltage waveform itself but the fundamental wave extracted from it, especially its phase, that is used for deviation detection. For this reason, the phase of the fundamental wave is prevented from shifting by removing the influence of the harmonics from around the peak value. As a result, a fundamental wave that is not affected by the distortions A and B near the peak value is obtained. Note that the solid line in FIG. 11 is an induced voltage waveform, and the broken line is a fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage waveform.

  In this embodiment, after limiting the amplitude (S31), the fundamental wave is extracted (S32). The induced voltage waveform whose amplitude is limited at this time is shown by a solid line in FIG. 12, and the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage waveform is shown by a broken line in FIG. By this waveform shaping (S30), there is almost no difference between the time when the fundamental wave extracted by the low-pass filter 48 crosses the zero potential and the time when the original induced voltage waveform crosses the zero potential. That is, the phase shift of the fundamental wave is avoided by the amplitude limitation (S31). Further, the filter (S32) reduces the error when determining the zero cross point coming from the flat shape near the zero potential.

  The manufacturing method of the electric motor with a position detection sensor according to the present embodiment adjusts the attachment position based on the shift amount θ of the resolver 18 temporarily fixed to the electric motor 10. The shift amount θ is calculated as described above. For this reason, the mounting angle of the resolver 18 may be adjusted according to the shift amount θ to eliminate the shift.

For this purpose, the value calculated by the following equation (2) is displayed on a display meter, the position of the resolver 18 is adjusted based on the displayed value, and the shift θ is corrected.
Display value = current angle−angle at the end of displacement detection + deviation θ (2)
Here, “deviation θ” is the deviation amount θ detected using the deviation detection device and the deviation detection method of the present embodiment. Further, the “angle at the end of deviation detection” is an angle detected by the R / D converter 28 when the above-described deviation detection process is completed and the rotation of the rotor 12 is stopped. The “current angle” is an angle detected by the R / D converter 28 during the adjustment. For this reason, the attachment position may be adjusted so that the display value becomes zero. Thereafter, the resolver 18 is permanently fixed while maintaining the mounting position.

  Therefore, the electric motor manufactured by the method for manufacturing the electric motor with position detection sensor according to the present embodiment has a high position accuracy of the position detection sensor. Furthermore, the control of the rotor position control and rotation control is excellent. In addition, the yield can be improved by the method for manufacturing the electric motor with position detection sensor according to the present embodiment.

  As described above in detail, the deviation detecting device and the deviation detecting method according to the present embodiment provide an induced voltage waveform in which the amplitude is limited by setting a threshold to the amplitude, and the harmonic component is removed by passing through a filter. The shift was detected by comparing with the resolver signal waveform. For this reason, the zero cross point of the induced voltage can be obtained with high accuracy. Thereby, a deviation detecting device and a deviation detecting method capable of detecting the deviation from the reference position of the position detection sensor with high accuracy are realized. The manufacturing method of the electric motor with a position detection sensor according to this embodiment can attach the resolver to the electric motor with high positional accuracy, and can produce an electric motor with excellent controllability. Furthermore, since there is no need to rotate the motor negatively, the process can be simplified and productivity can be improved. Also, the yield is improved.

  Note that this embodiment is merely an example, and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention can naturally be improved and modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. For example, in addition to the resolver, an encoder or a hall element can be used as the position detection sensor. Further, not only the induced voltage waveform but also the resolver signal waveform, the harmonic component may be removed by the low pass filter 48. In addition, the rotor 12 may be rotated by a motor provided outside the deviation detection device, which is different from the motor 22. Further, the number of permanent magnets may not be eight. Further, the deviation is calculated based on the zero cross point of the induced voltage waveform, but instead, the zero cross point of the resolver signal waveform may be used as a reference.

[Second form]
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. The hardware configuration of the deviation detection apparatus of this embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 2 of the first embodiment. Similarly, the rotor is driven to rotate (S10), the induced voltage and the resolver signal are acquired (S20), the waveform is shaped (S30), and the shift amount θ is calculated (S40). Further, in the manufacturing method of the electric motor with position detection sensor, the position of the position detection sensor can be adjusted based on the calculated displacement amount θ. For this reason, the description of overlapping parts is omitted. The difference from the first embodiment is a deviation amount calculation procedure (S40). Therefore, a method for calculating the deviation amount θ will be described below.

  A calculation method (S40) of the shift amount θ in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for calculating the deviation amount θ. FIG. 14 shows the shaped resolver signal waveform and the fundamental wave extracted from the induced voltage. First, the time when the fundamental wave of the induced voltage intersects with the zero potential (time T1 at the zero cross point) and the time when the resolver signal waveform intersects with the zero potential (time T2 at the zero cross point) are read (S45). Next, an elapsed time T from time T1 to time T2 is calculated (S46). Next, the number of resolver signal samplings at time T is counted (S47). Here, the counted sampling number is N.

Next, a deviation amount θ is calculated from the counted sampling number N (S48). Using the equivalent angle α per sampling interval and the number of samplings N, the amount of deviation θ is obtained using equation (3).
θ = α · N (3)
The equivalent angle α is determined by the sampling period and the rotation speed of the rotor 12. Thus, the deviation amount θ was obtained. Based on this, similarly to the first embodiment, the attachment position of the resolver 18 may be adjusted.

  As described above in detail, the deviation detecting device and the deviation detecting method according to the present embodiment provide an induced voltage waveform in which the amplitude is limited by setting a threshold to the amplitude, and the harmonic component is removed by passing through a filter. The shift was detected by comparing with the resolver signal waveform. For this reason, the zero cross point of the induced voltage can be obtained with high accuracy. Thereby, a deviation detecting device and a deviation detecting method capable of detecting the deviation from the reference position of the position detection sensor with high accuracy are realized. The manufacturing method of the electric motor with a position detection sensor according to this embodiment can attach the resolver to the electric motor with high positional accuracy, and can produce an electric motor with excellent controllability. Furthermore, since there is no need to rotate the motor negatively, the process can be simplified and productivity can be improved. Also, the yield is improved.

  Note that this embodiment is merely an example, and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention can naturally be improved and modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. For example, in addition to the resolver, an encoder or a hall element can be used as the position detection sensor. Further, not only the induced voltage waveform but also the resolver signal waveform, the harmonic component may be removed by the low pass filter 48. In addition, the rotor 12 may be rotated by a motor provided outside the deviation detection device, which is different from the motor 22. Further, the number of permanent magnets may not be eight. Further, the deviation is calculated based on the zero cross point of the induced voltage waveform, but instead, the zero cross point of the resolver signal waveform may be used as a reference.

[Third embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 15, the deviation detecting apparatus 200 according to the third embodiment uses the electric motor 2 with a position detection sensor as a subject. After detecting the deviation, adjusting the position detection sensor-equipped electric motor 2 to eliminate the deviation is the same as in the first and second embodiments. The position detection sensor-equipped electric motor 2 includes an electric motor 110 and an encoder 118. The electric motor 110 has a stator 111 and a rotor 112. Here, the rotor 112 includes an 8-pole permanent magnet. In addition, coils 114U, 114V, and 114W are wound around the stator. The encoder 118 is a disc provided with a slit, and obtains a pulse signal indicating the position and rotation of the rotor 112 by the light passing through the slit.

  Here, the encoder 118 is temporarily fixed to the electric motor 110. That is, the position accuracy of the encoder 118 is not high at this stage. Therefore, the deviation from the reference position of the attachment position of the encoder 118 is detected by using the deviation detection device 200 and the deviation detection method of the present embodiment. Then, by correcting this deviation, it is possible to manufacture the electric motor 2 with a position detection sensor excellent in rotation controllability and position controllability.

  The deviation detection device 200 includes a motor 122, a three-phase balanced load circuit 124, voltage detection lines 126U, 126V, 126W, an input processing circuit 128, a zero cross detection circuit 130, an AD converter 132, and an up / down counter 134. , A low-pass filter (LPF) 136 and an electronic control unit 140.

  The motor 122 is for rotating the rotor 112 of the electric motor 2 with a position detection sensor, which is the subject, from the outside. The three-phase balanced load circuit 124 is a voltage detection unit having resistors 125U, 125V, and 125W. The resistors 125U, 125V, and 125W are connected at the respective centers, and the center points are grounded. The resistors 125U, 125V, and 125W detect the induced voltages generated in the coils 114U, 114V, and 114W, respectively, and transmit signals to the voltage detection lines 126U, 126V, and 126W. The voltage detection lines 126U, 126V, 126W are for transmitting the induced voltage detected by the resistors 125U, 125V, 125W to the input processing circuit.

  The input processing circuit 128 amplifies and outputs signals from the voltage detection lines 126U, 126V, and 126W. The low-pass filter 136 is for removing harmonic components. The zero cross detection circuit 130 generates a rectangular wave signal that is switched between high (H) / low (L) when the analog signal from the input processing circuit 128 crosses the zero potential. The AD converter 132 converts the analog signal output from the input processing circuit 128 into a digital signal. The up / down counter 134 is incremented by a lapse of a predetermined time and is reset by a reference signal from the encoder 118.

  The electronic control unit 140 is a deviation calculation unit including a CPU 142, a ROM 144, and a RAM 146. The CPU 142 is an arithmetic processing unit for determining the time of the zero cross point and calculating the amount of deviation. The ROM 144 is for storing a processing program. The RAM 146 is for temporarily storing data for processing by the CPU 142. The electronic control unit 140 receives a rectangular wave signal from the zero cross detection circuit 130 and receives a digitized induced voltage from the AD converter. The electronic control unit 140 receives the counter value from the up / down counter 134 based on the signal from the encoder 118.

  Next, a reference point deviation detection method of the encoder 118 by the deviation inspection apparatus 200 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the principle when the deviation inspection apparatus 200 detects the deviation of the reference point of the encoder 118. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the U-phase induced voltage, the output waveform of the zero cross detection circuit 130, the detection signal of the encoder 118, and the output change of the up / down counter 134 when the motor 110 is rotated. For ease of explanation, attention is focused only on the U phase of the three phases U, V, and W.

  In the deviation detection process, first, it waits for the counter value C of the up / down counter 134 to become zero (S301). The up / down counter 134 is reset to 0 by a signal (for example, a pulse signal) output from the encoder 118 when the encoder 118 passes the reference point, and is incremented by 1 every predetermined time. The process of S301 is equivalent to waiting for the encoder 118 to detect the reference point.

  When the counter value C of the up / down counter 134 becomes 0, the circulation counter n is reset to 0 (S302). Then, it waits for the zero cross detection circuit 130 to detect the zero cross (S303). That is, since the rotor 112 of the electric motor 110 is rotated by the motor 122, an induced voltage is generated in the coils 114U, 114V, and 114W. This voltage also appears in each U, V, W phase of the three-phase balanced load circuit 124 connected to each phase coil. Since the permanent magnet attached to the rotor 112 has eight poles, the U phase of the three-phase balanced load circuit 124 crosses the zero potential eight times each time the rotor 112 makes one revolution. Therefore, the zero cross detection circuit 130 outputs four rectangular waves as shown in FIG. 17 every time the rotor 112 makes one round. The electronic control unit 140 can detect the zero cross point by detecting the H / L switching of the rectangular wave signal from the zero cross detection circuit 130.

  When the zero cross point is detected, the circulation counter n is incremented by 1 (S304). Then, the counter value C of the up / down counter 134 is stored in the nth counter value memory C (n) (S305). Then, it is determined whether or not the circulation counter n is equal to 8 (S306). In other words, the counter value C of the up / down counter 134 is kept in the counter value memory C (n) every time the zero cross is detected until the zero cross is detected eight times.

  Thus, detecting zero crossing eight times means that the rotor 112 has made one rotation. The processing when the zero cross is detected can be processed as an interrupt processing by H / L of the rectangular wave signal from the zero cross detection circuit 130.

When the circulation counter n reaches 8, the maximum value of the counter value C of the up / down counter 134, that is, the value immediately before the up / down counter 134 is reset (the value at time t9 in FIG. 17) is input as the counter maximum value Cmax. (S307). Then, the input counter maximum value Cmax is divided by 360 degrees to calculate an angle conversion coefficient K for converting the counter value C of the up / down counter 134 into an angle (S308). Then, based on the calculated angle conversion coefficient K, the deviation Ym of the reference point of the encoder 118 is calculated by the following equation (4) (S309). Thereafter, this process is terminated.
Ym = {K · ΣC (n) −Σ45 · (n−1)} / 8 (4)

  The deviation detection device 200 detects the deviation of the reference point of the encoder 118 and also checks the abnormality of the electric motor 110. The abnormality inspection of the electric motor 110 includes the waveform of the induced voltage (master waveform) when the electric motor 110 stored in advance in the ROM 144 is normal, and the waveforms of U, V, and W phases (subject waveform) input from the AD converter 132. Done by comparing. The abnormality determination is performed by superimposing the master waveform and the subject waveform and determining the amount of deviation. As described above, the detection of the deviation of the reference point of the encoder 118 and the abnormality inspection of the electric motor 110 can be performed simultaneously. Therefore, the total inspection time of the electric motor 110 can be shortened.

  As described above in detail, in the deviation detecting device 200 of this embodiment, the harmonic component of the induced voltage is removed by the low-pass filter 136. As a result, the shape of the induced voltage waveform near the zero cross becomes smooth, and the zero cross point can be accurately detected by the zero cross detection circuit 130. For this reason, the amount of deviation obtained in each of the positive and negative rotations is almost the same value, and either one of the deviation detection by the positive rotation or the deviation detection by the negative rotation is sufficient. Therefore, a deviation detection device and a deviation detection method are realized in which the deviation detection time of the reference point of the position detection sensor attached to the electric motor is shortened.

  Note that this embodiment is merely an example, and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention can naturally be improved and modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the means for removing harmonic components is not limited to the low pass filter, and may be a band pass filter, for example.

  Further, the position inspection sensor is not limited to the encoder and the resolver, and may be a Hall element. In this embodiment, the vehicle drive motor is inspected, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, you may apply this invention to the test | inspection of the motor for household appliances.
