Publication number: 20140049203Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor control device provided with the function of detecting the rotor position of a synchronous motor in a sensor-less fashion. The motor control device previously stores a current phase ? defined by the two parameters that are an induced voltage peak value Ep and the subtracted value (?e??i) obtained by subtracting an induced voltage electrical angle ?e from a current electrical angle ?i, and based on the actual detected Ep, ?i, and ?e, selects ? by referring to the ? previously stored, and calculates the rotor position ?m by subtracting the selected ? from the actual detected ?i. Then, in case of selecting ?, the actual detected Ep and ?e are corrected according to changes in the current flowing through the coil. As a result, a detection accuracy for the rotor position during a transition period is enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2012Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: SANDEN CORPORATIONInventor: Daisuke Hirono
