  • Patent number: 9246422
    Abstract: A motor control device includes an energization pattern output portion and an inverter circuit. The energization pattern output portion cyclically outputs a plurality of energization patterns. The inverter circuit selectively connects respective coils provided in a motor to a rectifier circuit according to the output energization pattern. The energization pattern output portion delays the output timing of the energization pattern according to a rotation speed of the motor.

  • Patent number: 9178460
    Abstract: A motor controller according to the invention includes a driving IC and a magnetic sensor. The driving IC receives a driving signal for driving a motor and controls the rotation speed of the motor using the driving signal. The magnetic sensor detects the rotation speed of the motor. The driving IC includes a sensor signal output terminal and a driving signal input terminal. The sensor signal output terminal outputs a sensor signal generated by the driving IC based on a pulse signal from the magnetic sensor. The driving signal input terminal receives the driving signal. The sensor signal output terminal and the driving signal input terminal are connected by a connecting portion. The driving IC rotates the motor at a first rotation speed different from the rotation speed of the motor driven according to the driving signal using the sensor signal input to the driving signal input terminal.

  • Patent number: 8847525
    Abstract: To provide a motor control device which can apply an electric brake to a motor when power supply is stopped, and achieve a miniaturization and a cost reduction. A first switch 11 through a sixth switch 16 connects respective coils L1, L2 and L3 included in a motor to an electric power source 20. The capacitor C accumulates the power supplied from the electric power source 20. A seventh switch 17 connects the capacitor C to a fourth switch 14 through the sixth switch 16, when the power supply from the electric power source 20 is stopped. The operation of the seventh switch 17 causes the fourth switch 14 through the sixth switch 16 to operate by the power accumulated in the capacitor C, and respective coils L1 to L3 are short-circuited to apply the brake to the motor.
