Abstract

Est fournie une machine de travail apte à estimer des informations de position d'un moteur sans balai à partir d'un courant, même lorsqu'une unité d'opération est dans un état éteint. Une unité de commande (41) passe d'une commande de vitesse constante à une commande de décélération lorsqu'un commutateur (5) est éteint à un moment t14. La commande de décélération est destinée à réduire un rapport cyclique à une valeur prescrite (par exemple 10 %) et à réduire une vitesse de rotation de rotor à une décélération inférieure à la rotation inertielle. L'unité de commande (41) réalise la commande de décélération lorsque la vitesse de rotation de rotor dépasse une vitesse de rotation prescrite. L'unité de commande (41) détecte (estime) la position de rotor sur la base du courant de moteur même lors de la réalisation d'une commande de décélération, et passe de la commande de décélération à une commande d'accélération lorsque le commutateur (5) est allumé pendant la commande de décélération.
