Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a serve motor controller which has a protection function to minimize the breakage of the motor by means of a collision detection function of high accuracy that is attained by using the torque constant variance coefficient following the variance of a toque constant to a disturbance torque observer. SOLUTION: The variance of a torque constant is dynamically fetched to a disturbance observer by a torque constant variance estimation device 18. Then an actual system is put more approximate to a disturbance torque observer model, so that a disturbance torque can always be estimated with high accuracy. When the estimated disturbance torque value exceeds its allowance level that is set based on the strength of a machine part, a decision part 39 decides a collision between the system and the observer model and stops the operation of a servo motor. Thus, the occurrence of torque higher than the strength of the machine part can be prevented.

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of detecting an abnormal state in which a control axis of a numerically controlled machine tool, a robot, or the like collides with a workpiece or the like during operation, a method using observation of an estimated disturbance torque of a disturbance torque observer is used. Has already been described in JP-A-3-1

The position control unit 31 receives the position command Pc of the mechanical unit 35 from the numerical control unit 30 and the position Pf from the position detection unit 36 and uses the speed command Vc to eliminate the position deviation between the position command Pc and the position Pf. Is output to the speed control unit 32.

The speed control unit 32 receives the speed command Vc of the motor 34 from the position control unit 31 and receives the motor rotation speed Vf from the speed detection unit 37 to eliminate a speed deviation between the speed command Vc and the motor rotation speed Vf. As described above, the torque current command Iqc is output to the current control unit 33 so that the motor is stopped when the alarm signal AL is input.

The current control section 33 controls the current so that the deviation between the torque current of the motor 34 and the torque current command Iqc is eliminated. The mechanical unit 35 indicates a table or a robot arm driven by the motor 34. The position detection unit 36 is a mechanical unit 35
And outputs the position f. The speed detector 37 is mechanically connected to the motor 34 and outputs the speed Vf.

[0007] The disturbance torque observer 38 receives the torque current command Iqc and the motor rotation speed Vf as inputs and outputs an estimated disturbance torque value TL applied to the machine to the determination unit 39. The judgment unit 39 determines the estimated disturbance torque value TL and the allowable disturbance torque value TL
(Not shown), and if the estimated disturbance torque value TL is large, it is determined that a collision has occurred, and an alarm signal AL is output.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of the disturbance torque observer 38 and the determination section 39 in FIG.

Is determined to be a collision if the estimated disturbance torque value TL is large,
This is a judgment section for outputting the alarm signal AL.

The disturbance torque To is equal to a value obtained by subtracting the torque generated by the motor itself and the motor torque Tm from the torque acting on the motor and the mechanical part, the total torque Ta. The total torque Ta is equal to a value obtained by multiplying a torque current command Ιqc by a torque constant KT. The motor torque Tm is equal to a value obtained by differentiating the motor rotational speed Vf, that is, a value obtained by multiplying the rotational acceleration of the motor by the sum J of the shaft inertia and the load inertia.

When these are expressed by equations, To = Ta−Tm = KT · Iqc−J · (d / dt) Vf (1)

The estimated disturbance torque TL is obtained by removing a transient estimation error by passing the disturbance torque To through a first-order lag filter of a block 15.

[0012]

Generally, in a servomotor, field-weakening control for weakening a field magnetic flux is performed in order to avoid voltage saturation during high-speed rotation. It changes according to the number.

In the prior art disturbance torque observer, since the torque constant is modeled as a constant value, if the torque constant changes, the estimation error of the disturbance torque increases.
In this case, there is a problem that a collision is erroneously determined during normal acceleration / deceleration operation. In addition, if the allowable disturbance torque value, which is a reference value for detecting a collision, is increased with respect to this error, there is a problem that the error cannot be detected at the time of an actual collision.

An object of the present invention is to use a high-precision collision detection function realized by using a torque constant variation coefficient following a variation in torque constant for a disturbance torque observer.
An object of the present invention is to provide a servomotor control device having a protection function for minimizing breakage.

[0015]

Referring to FIG. 1, a block 11 is a transfer function of a motor torque constant KT, a block 18 is a torque constant fluctuation estimator that outputs a torque constant fluctuation coefficient m, and a multiplication point 1

Department.

The difference between the prior art shown in FIG. 10 and the collision detection function of the present invention is that a torque constant fluctuation estimator 18 and a multiplier 17 are added to the prior art shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a processing flowchart showing the operation of the block diagram of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. The following processing is executed in the same processing cycle as that of the speed control unit 32 (see FIG. 9). First, a torque constant variation coefficient m is calculated by the torque constant variation estimator 18 (step 21). The configuration of the torque constant fluctuation estimator 18 is different depending on the difference in the field weakening control due to the type of the motor.

Based on the torque current command Ιqc, the torque constant KT, and the torque constant variation coefficient m, the total torque Ta acting on the motor and the mechanical section is determined (steps 22 and 23). Further, the torque Tm generated by the motor is obtained by differentiating the motor rotation speed Vf and multiplying by the inertia J (step 24).

The motor torque Tm is subtracted from the total torque Ta to determine the torque To due to disturbance (step 25). An estimated disturbance torque value TL is obtained by removing the transient estimation error from the disturbance torque To through a first-order lag filter (step 26). The absolute value of the estimated disturbance torque value TL is compared with the allowable disturbance torque value TLL (step 27). If TLL is small, the process is terminated. If TLL is large, an alarm signal AL is output (step 28). It is set to 0 (step 29).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the torque constant fluctuation estimator 18 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As a first embodiment, an example of application to a spindle motor will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the motor rotation speed of the spindle motor and the torque constant. Generally, in a spindle motor, KTt is constant up to the base rotation speed V0, and KT is inversely proportional to the rotation speed in a region beyond that.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the torque constant fluctuation estimator 18 of the first embodiment, in which the motor rotation speed Vf is input and the torque constant fluctuation coefficient m is output. Block 6
In step 2, the base rotation speed V0 is divided by the rotation speed Vf to obtain m '. The block 64 outputs 1 as the torque constant variation coefficient m when the rotation speed Vf is lower than the base rotation speed V0, and outputs m 'when the rotation speed Vf is higher than the base rotation speed V0. Thus, the torque constant estimator 18 outputs a torque constant variation coefficient m corresponding to the characteristic of FIG. 3 in response to a change in the motor rotation speed Vf.

FIG. 5 shows that in the first embodiment, 4000
9 shows a rotational speed and an estimated disturbance torque when the accelerating / decelerating operation is performed up to rpm. FIG. 5A shows a conventional example.
(B) is an embodiment of the present invention, in which the base rotation speed is 1500 rpm.

In (a), the base rotation speed of 1500 rpm
It can be seen that a large disturbance torque estimation error has occurred in a region higher than m. On the other hand, in (b), it can be seen that the error is small in all speed regions.

As a second embodiment, an example of application to an AC brushless servomotor will be described. FIG. 6 is a vector diagram of the current command. The current command includes a torque current command Iqc and a field current command Idc, which can be represented by a vector diagram of a d-axis and q-axis orthogonal coordinate system. When a current is caused to flow on the q-axis side, a torque is generated, and when a current is caused to flow on the d-axis side, a field is generated.

FIG. 6A shows the normal control. Since the AC brushless servomotor performs the field with the permanent magnet, the field current command Ιd may be zero. Therefore, the vector of the current command is set on the q axis, and Idc = 0.

However, when voltage saturation due to the back electromotive force becomes a problem in the servo motor, field weakening control for weakening the field magnetic flux may be performed. FIG. 6B shows this field weakening control. The q axis is shifted by the shift angle θr, and the q ′ axis and the vector of the current command are set on the q ′ axis. Apparent control is d 'axis,
It is performed on the q 'axis, and the torque current value that can be known in control is Iqc'
It is. However, actually, the current command Id on the q-axis and the d-axis is
c and Iqc are flowing.

Idc and Iqc are as follows: Idc = −Iqc ′ · sin θr Iqc = Iqc ′ · cos θr (2)

The fluctuation of the torque constant and the field current command Idc are in a proportional relationship, and the proportional constant is K. If the apparent torque constant is KT 'and the actual torque constant is KT, the torque T at this time is a product of the torque constant and the torque current command, and T = {KT (1 + K.Idc)}. Iqc = {KT (1−K · Iqc ′ · sin θr)} · Iqc ′ · cos θr (3)

Therefore, the apparent torque constant KT 'is as follows: KT' = T / Iqc '= {KT (1-K.Iqc'.sin .theta.r)}. Cos .theta.r (4)

Therefore, the torque constant variation coefficient m is as follows: m = KT '/ KT = (1−K · Iqc ′ · sin θr) · cos θr (5) where m is the torque current command Iqc ′ and the deviation angle θr.

The deviation angle θr is proportional to the motor rotation speed Vf, and if the proportional coefficient is α, there is a relation of θr = α · Vf.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a torque constant fluctuation estimator when such a weak magnetic field control is performed, and generates a torque constant fluctuation coefficient m by inputting the motor rotation speed Vf and the torque current command Iqc '. Things.

The block 18 multiplies the proportional coefficient α by Vf in order to convert the motor rotational speed Vf into the deviation angle θr. A block 92 is a sin and cos table that outputs sin θr and cos θr with the shift angle θr as input.
Block 93 shows a conversion coefficient between the field current command and the torque constant KT.

The multiplier 94 multiplies the torque current command Iqc 'by the output of the block 93, and the subtractor 96 sets the constant generator 9
The subtraction of the constant “1” by 5 and the output of the multiplier 94 is performed. The multiplier 97 multiplies the subtraction output of the subtractor 96 by cos θr and outputs m, and with this configuration,
The torque constant variation coefficient m of the equation (5) is obtained.

FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 shows estimated values of the rotational speed and the disturbance torque when the accelerating / decelerating operation is performed up to 00 rpm.
(B) is an embodiment of the present invention. In (a), it can be seen that a large disturbance torque estimation error has occurred in the high-speed region. On the other hand, in (b), it can be seen that the error is small in all speed regions.

[0040]

The first effect is that the disturbance estimation accuracy of the disturbance torque observer is improved. The reason is that the torque constant Kt, which was conventionally a fixed value, was made variable,
This is because the disturbance torque can be estimated using a model closer to the actual system.

The second effect is that collision can be detected faster and more accurately. The reason is that the disturbance estimation accuracy has been improved, so that the allowable disturbance torque value, which is a reference value for detecting a collision, can be reduced.
