  • Patent number: 6570353
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the electronic commutation of a brushless DC motor (1) having three phase windings (u, v, w) which are electrically displaced by 120°, comprising a semiconductor bridge (4) consisting of six power semiconductors (S1 to S6), which drives the phase windings (u, v, w) for generating a rotating magnetic stator field, a control unit (6) which correspondingly drives the power semiconductors (S1 to S6), and a device for detecting the respective rotational position of a rotor exhibiting a permanent-magnetic magnet wheel, the device for detecting the rotor position being constructed as sensor-less evaluating unit (8), for evaluating the voltage induced by the rotating magnet wheel which can be measured at the winding terminal (U, V, W) of the motor which is not currently driven. It is the object of the present invention to achieve a reduction of running and commutation noises whilst maintaining the inexpensive and fault-insensitive sensorless rotor position detection.

  • Patent number: 6563239
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting arrangement for an antivibration mounting of an electromotor (1) on a load-bearing component by means of several interelements (6) arranged distributed around the perimeter and consisting of an elastic material. To always achieve an optimum vibration isolation independently of the motor's fitting position, it is provided that the interelements (6) are designed as oblong, radially aligned web elements (8) and are arranged axially, clamped under elastic prestress, between a mounting surface (12) on the motor side.

  • Patent number: 6534946
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mains-commutated, synchronous AC motor (1) with permanent-magnet excitation, which is configured as an external-rotor motor with a permanent-magnet external rotor (6) which rotates around an inner stator. In this case, an electronic starting apparatus (2) is provided which actuates the stator (4) in order to start the external rotor (6) in such a manner that the external rotor (6) is accelerated in a controlled manner to its synchronous rotation speed, and then continues to run in the mains-commutated synchronous mode.

  • Patent number: 6462494
    Abstract: A tan having a fan wheel and an electric motor driving it, and a control unit for controlling the motor output as a function of fan-specific parameters. An actual-value signal corresponding to an actual rotational speed of the fan is measured and compared with a control signal corresponding to a required speed, and the actual speed is adjusted to the required speed by means of the control unit, wherefore the actual speed and the actual motor current or supply current are measured and conducted to a microcontroller as input signal variables, whereby the fan-specific data such as wheel diameter, density of the conveying medium, fan coefficients, motor coefficients, and a preset artificial characteristic curve ps=ƒ({dot over (V)}s ) are stored in the microcontroller as default values.

  • Patent number: 6208113
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for controlling the rotation speed of AC motors, in particular single phase motors. In this case, a controllable electronic switching device is connected upstream of the motor and is actuated by a control unit such that a sinusoidal input AC voltage is used to produce a motor AC voltage which can be varied in order to change the rotation speed. The control unit is designed in such a manner that the fundamental frequency and/or the amplitude of the motor AC voltage can be varied by phase gating.

  • Patent number: 6028379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for the vibration-isolating mounting of an electric motor (2) on a support part (6) via an essentially disk-shaped support element (12). The support element (12) has a motor-holding section (24) for connection to the electric motor (2) and a support-holding section (26) for connection to the support part (6), and the two holding sections (24, 26) are connected via elastic, web-like connecting pieces (28). The connecting pieces (28) are designed such that the two holding sections (24, 26) are elastically movable relative to each other three-dimensionally in all directions in space, specifically axially, radially and tangentially, over a certain movement play. The support element (12) has integrated stop means for the three-dimensional limiting of the elastic relative movements of the holding sections (24, 26) and/or an additional mass (110) to influence the vibration behavior.
