- the q-axis current calculation unit 12 detects, based on the current detection signal Vm and the rotation angle of the rotor 31 of the motor 3, the phase currents iu, iv, iw flowing through the coils Lu, Lv, Lw of each phase, and the phase currents -iu, -iv, -iw obtained by inverting the phases of the phase currents iu, iv, iw by 180°, as the peak value ip, which is the phase current closest to the q-axis current when the d-axis current is set to zero, and calculates, based on the envelope of the peak value ip, the q-axis current in the two-phase rotating coordinate system when the d-axis current in the two-phase rotating coordinate system is set to zero.
- the q-axis current calculation unit 12 may include a peak value detection unit 121, a low-pass filter (LPF) 122, and a multiplication unit 123.
- LPF low-pass filter
- the peak value detection unit 121, the low-pass filter 122, and some or all of the multiplication unit 123 may be realized by program processing using a program processing device as the control circuit 1, or may be realized by a dedicated hardware circuit.
- the peak value detection unit 121 detects, based on the current detection signal Vm and the rotation angle of the rotor 31 of the motor 3, the phase current iu, iv, iw, -iu, -iv, -iw that is closest to the q-axis current when the d-axis current is set to zero, as the peak value ip.
- the phase current that is a candidate for the q-axis current i.e., the phase current that is closest to the q-axis current when the d-axis current is set to zero, switches every 60° of electrical angle (see Figures 6 and 7). Therefore, in the first embodiment, the range of electrical angles (0° to 360°) corresponding to the rotation of the rotor 31 is divided into multiple ranges, each of which is a "sector," and each sector is assigned a phase current that is a candidate for the peak value ip (q-axis current).
- Figure 8 shows the correspondence between sectors and phase currents that are candidates for the peak value ip.
- phase currents iu, iv, iw, -iu, -iv, -iw is assigned as a candidate phase current for the peak value ip.
- the range of electrical angle X -30° ⁇ X ⁇ 30° is set as sector I, and the phase current iu closest to the q-axis current in sector I is set as a candidate for the peak value ip in sector I.

- the range of electrical angle X of 150° ⁇ X ⁇ 210° is defined as sector IV, and the phase current -iu in sector IV that is closest to the q-axis current is defined as a candidate for the peak value ip in sector IV.
- the range of electrical angle X of 210° ⁇ X ⁇ 270° is defined as sector V, and the phase current iw in sector V that is closest to the q-axis current is defined as a candidate for the peak value ip in sector V.
- the range of electrical angle X of 270° ⁇ X ⁇ 330° is defined as sector VI, and the phase current -iv in sector VI that is closest to the q-axis current is defined as a candidate for the peak value ip in sector VI.
- the peak value detection unit 121 detects the phase of the current vector i in a two-phase (d, q) rotating coordinate system based on the rotation angle of the rotor 31 and the current detection signal Vm, identifies the sector to which the phase of the current vector i belongs, and outputs the phase current associated with the identified sector as a peak value ip.
- the peak value detection unit 121 has, for example, a current phase detection unit 124, a sector identification unit 125, a phase current calculation unit 126, and a phase current selection unit 127 as functional blocks for realizing the above processing.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the peak value detection unit 121 according to the first embodiment.
- the current phase detection unit 124 detects the phase of the current vector i in a two-phase rotating coordinate system. For example, the current phase detection unit 124 detects the phase of the current vector i based on the rotation angle ⁇ of the rotor 31.
- the current vector i when the d-axis current is set to zero coincides with the q-axis current.
- the current phase detection unit 124 therefore calculates the rotation angle ( ⁇ + ⁇ /2) by adding " ⁇ /2" to the rotation angle ⁇ of the rotor 31 acquired by the rotation angle acquisition unit 14 described below, as the phase of the current vector i. For example, the current phase detection unit 124 calculates the phase of the current vector i for each control period (PWM period) of the motor.
- the phase current calculation unit 126 calculates the phase current based on the current detection signal Vm. For example, in the case of the one-shunt method described above in which one shunt resistor is connected in series to the inverter circuit to detect the current of the motor 3, the path through which the current flows changes depending on which of the drive transistors Q1 to Q6 are turned on during the motor control period (PWM period), and the phase current indicated by the current detection signal Vm switches as the path changes.
- the phase current calculation unit 126 therefore calculates the phase currents iu, iv, and iw from the current detection signal Vm in accordance with the on/off timing of the drive transistors Q1 to Q6 of the inverter circuit, for each control period of the motor 3, using, for example, a known one-shunt type current detection method. Furthermore, the phase current calculation unit 126 multiplies the phase currents iu, iv, and iw by "-1" to calculate the phase currents -iu, -iv, and -iw.
- the sector identification unit 125 identifies the sector to which the phase of the current vector i in the two-phase rotating coordinate system detected by the current phase detection unit 124 belongs. For example, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, if the range of electrical angles from 0 to 360° is divided into six sectors I to VI, the sector identification unit 125 identifies which sector I to VI the phase of the current vector i belongs to. For example, the sector identification unit 125 identifies the sector to which the phase ( ⁇ + ⁇ /2) of the current vector i belongs for each control period of the motor 3, and outputs information on the identified sector.
- the phase current selection unit 127 selects one phase current from the multiple phase currents based on the information of the sector to which the phase of the current vector i belongs, and outputs it as the peak value ip. For example, the phase current selection unit 127 selects the phase current that is a candidate for the peak value ip (q-axis current) using correspondence information 128 that indicates the correspondence between sectors and phase currents that are candidates for the peak value ip, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the correspondence information 128 is, for example, a table in which sectors are associated with phase currents that are candidates for the peak value ip.
- the correspondence information 128 is, for example, stored in advance in a storage device (for example, a non-volatile storage device) in the control circuit 1.
- a storage device for example, a non-volatile storage device
- the phase current selection unit 127 reads the correspondence information 128 from the storage device.
- the phase current selection unit 127 uses the sector to which the phase of the current vector i identified by the sector identification unit 125 belongs as an argument, and reads out the phase current corresponding to the argument from the correspondence information 128.
- the phase current selection unit 127 outputs the read phase current as a peak value ip.
- the phase current selection unit 127 selects the phase current -iw and outputs the phase current -iw as the peak value ip.
- the phase current selection unit 127 outputs the peak value ip for each motor control period.
- the envelope of the peak value ip whose magnitude changes over time, is output from the phase current selection unit 127.
- the envelope of the peak value ip (hereinafter also referred to as the "peak value ip signal") changes (oscillates) in magnitude based on the amplitude of the three-phase AC. Therefore, the low-pass filter 122 removes high-frequency components contained in the peak value ip signal.
- the low-pass filter 122 receives the peak value ip (peak value ip signal) output from the peak value detection unit 121 (phase current selection unit 127).
- the low-pass filter 122 removes high-frequency components from the input peak value ip signal, and outputs a signal obtained by smoothing the peak value ip signal (hereinafter also referred to as the "average value of the peak value ip").
- the average value of the peak value ip output from the low-pass filter 122 is smaller than the q-axis current. Therefore, the multiplier 123 multiplies the signal output from the low-pass filter 122 (average value of the peak value ip) by a predetermined value. For example, the average value of the peak value ip is 3/ ⁇ times smaller than the q-axis current. Therefore, the multiplier 123 multiplies the value output from the low-pass filter 122 by " ⁇ /3", for example. This makes it possible to obtain an approximation (estimated value) of the q-axis current when the d-axis current id is set to zero. The multiplier 123 outputs the approximation of the q-axis current calculated as described above as the "q-axis current iq".
- the above-mentioned predetermined value is not limited to the above-mentioned " ⁇ /3", but may be set appropriately so that an appropriate approximation of the q-axis current can be calculated from the value output from the low-pass filter 122.
- the calculation unit 13 generates a drive control signal Sd by performing a vector control calculation using the q-axis current iq calculated by the q-axis current calculation unit 12, the drive command signal Sc (speed command signal Sc1) acquired by the drive command acquisition unit 11, the rotational speed ⁇ of the rotor 31 of the motor 3, and the rotational angle ⁇ of the rotor 31.

Specifically, the lead-angle control unit 20 calculates the lead-angle value ⁇ at which the d-axis current id in a two-phase (d, q) rotating coordinate system becomes zero. A method for calculating the lead-angle value ⁇ will be described in detail below.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a delay in current with respect to the voltage applied to the coil of a motor.
- the coil current lags in phase with respect to the applied voltage due to the coil inductance. Therefore, in general lead angle control, the phase of the applied voltage is advanced by the amount of phase delay ⁇ of the coil current with respect to the applied voltage, so that the current has the desired phase.
- the lead angle of the applied voltage in this case is called the lead angle value ⁇ .
- the d-axis inductance and q-axis inductance are equal, so when the d-axis current id is zero, the motor's efficiency is maximized.

- the lead angle value ⁇ when the d-axis current id is set to zero is expressed by the following formula (5).
- the lead angle control unit 20 calculates the lead angle value ⁇ at which the d-axis current id in the two-phase (d, q) rotating coordinate system becomes zero, based on the q-axis current iq calculated by the q-axis current calculation unit 12 and the rotation speed ⁇ of the rotor 31 acquired by the rotation speed acquisition unit 15.
- the lead angle control unit 20 calculates the angle (lead angle value) ⁇ of the vector of the voltage command value vref with respect to the q axis when the d-axis component of the vector of the voltage command value vref matches the d-axis voltage value vd when the d-axis current id is zero.
- the rotation angle ⁇ of the rotor 31 of the motor 3 is the rotation angle of the d-axis.
- the lead angle value ⁇ is the angle of the vector of the voltage command value vref with respect to the q-axis. Therefore, the lead angle value ⁇ based on the d-axis is " ⁇ + ⁇ /2".

- the q-axis current can be appropriately estimated even when the q-axis current is negative or zero or a very small value. This makes it possible to stably perform, for example, control to rotate the rotor 31 of the motor 3 in reverse, control to start a motor that is idling without applying the brakes (windmill start), and control to rotate the motor at a very low speed.

Abstract
Description
先ず、本願において開示される発明の代表的な実施の形態について概要を説明する。なお、以下の説明では、一例として、発明の構成要素に対応する図面上の参照符号を、括弧を付して記載している。
以下、本発明の実施の形態の具体例について図を参照して説明する。なお、以下の説明において、各実施の形態において共通する構成要素には同一の参照符号を付し、繰り返しの説明を省略する。
図1は、実施の形態1に係るモータ駆動制御装置10を備えたモータユニット100の構成を示す図である。
なお、図1に示されているモータ駆動制御装置10の構成要素は、全体の一部であり、モータ駆動制御装置10は、図1に示されたものに加えて、他の構成要素を有していてもよい。
このようにq軸およびd軸の方向を設定した場合、図3に示すように、回転角度取得部14によって計測されるロータ31の回転角度θは、d軸の回転角度となり、例えば、3相(U,V,W)の固定座標系におけるU軸とd軸とのなす角となる。
図5において、横軸は時間、縦軸は電流をそれぞれ表している。
例えば、上述した1つのシャント抵抗をインバータ回路に直列に接続してモータ3の電流を検出する1シャント方式の場合、モータの制御周期(PWM周期)においてオンする駆動用トランジスタQ1~Q6に応じて電流が流れる経路が変化し、その経路の切り替わりによって電流検出信号Vmが示す相電流が切り替わる。
演算部13は、q軸電流算出部12によって算出したq軸電流iqと、駆動指令取得部11によって取得した駆動指令信号Sc(速度指令信号Sc1)と、モータ3のロータ31の回転速度ωと、ロータ31の回転角度θとを用いてベクトル制御演算を行うことにより、駆動制御信号Sdを生成する。
進角制御部20は、q軸電流算出部12によって算出したq軸電流iqと、回転速度取得部15によって取得したロータ31の回転速度ωとに基づいて、各コイルLu,Lv,Lwの印加電圧(相印加電圧)の位相進み角度(進角値φ)を算出する。具体的には、進角制御部20は、2相(d,q)の回転座標系のd軸電流idがゼロになる進角値δを算出する。以下、進角値δの算出方法について、詳細に説明する。
一般に、モータのコイルに電圧を印加した場合、コイルのインダクタンスにより、コイルの電流は印加電圧に対して位相が遅れる。そこで、一般的な進角制御では、コイルの電流の印加電圧に対する位相の遅れ分φだけ、印加電圧の位相を進めて、電流が所望の位相となるよう制御する。この場合の印加電圧の位相の進み角度を進角値φと称する。
同図には、横軸をd軸、縦軸をq軸としたときの電圧指令値vref(ベクトル)が示されている。
図15は、実施の形態2に係るモータ駆動制御装置10Aにおける制御回路1Aの機能ブロック構成を示す図である。
上述したように、電流ベクトルiの位相は、モータ3のロータ31の回転角度θを基準として算出することができる。しかしながら、位置センサとしてのホール素子4u,4v,4wから出力された回転位置検出信号Hu,Hv,Hwまたは公知の位置センサレス制御の演算によって算出されるロータ31の回転角度の推定値は、実際のロータ31の回転角度の真値に対してずれる場合がある。
図17の紙面上段には、0°から360°までの電気角の範囲を複数に分割した範囲である“セクタ”が示されている。図17の紙面中段には、相電流iu,iv,iwが示されている。図17の紙面下段には、相電流iu,iv,iwと、相電流iu,iv,iwの極性を反転させた相電流-iu,-iv,-iwと、q軸電流iqとが示されている。図17において、横軸は電気角、縦軸は電流をそれぞれ表している。
図21は、実施の形態3に係るモータ駆動制御装置10Bにおける制御回路1Bの機能ブロック構成を示す図である。
実施の形態3に係る制御回路1Bは、電流ベクトルiの位相の検出方法に関して、実施の形態1,2に係る制御回路1,1Aと相違する。実施の形態1,2では、電流ベクトルiの位相をロータ31の回転角度を基準として推定したが、実施の形態3では、電流ベクトルiの位相を電圧ベクトルの位相を基準として推定する。
図24は、実施の形態3に係るq軸電流の推定方法の概要を説明するための図である。
上述したように、駆動制御信号生成部22は、公知の空間ベクトル変換の演算手法により、電圧指令値vrefと角度σ(=θ+δ)の極座標値によって表される電圧ベクトルvを3相(U,V,W)の固定座標系の電圧信号(PWM信号)に変換し、駆動制御信号Sdとして出力する。すなわち、電圧ベクトルvの位相は、σ(=θ+δ)で表される。
以上、本発明者によってなされた発明を実施の形態に基づいて具体的に説明したが、本発明はそれに限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々変更可能であることは言うまでもない。
