  • Patent number: 10696141
    Abstract: A synchronous motor control device includes: a DC power supply; an inverter main circuit; a three-phase synchronous motor; and an inverter control unit that outputs a PWM signal used to control the inverter main circuit. The inverter control unit includes: a PWM signal generation unit; a start-up control unit that outputs a start-up voltage command value to the PWM signal generation unit at the time of start-up; a steady state control unit that calculates a steady state voltage command value in a steady state and outputs the value to the PWM signal generation unit; and a steady state control parameter initial value calculation unit that outputs an initial value of a control parameter to the steady state control unit such that an output voltage vector from the inverter main circuit to the three-phase synchronous motor is consistent before and after switching from the start-up to the steady state.

  • Patent number: 10476423
    Abstract: A synchronous motor control device includes a voltage detector, a current detector, an inverter main circuit, and an inverter control unit. The inverter control unit includes: a phase current reproduction unit that reproduces a direct current into phase currents flowing to a permanent magnet synchronous motor; a current coordinate transformation unit that transforms the reproduced phase current into current on a control coordinate axis of a rotating coordinate system; a current control unit that calculates a voltage command value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor in such a manner that the current on the control coordinate axis equals a specific value; and a limiter unit that limits the value of the voltage command value.

  • Patent number: 10050576
    Abstract: An inverter control device that controls an inverter unit that converts a DC voltage from a converter unit to an AC voltage and supplies the AC voltage to the DC motor includes a storage unit that stores therein information regarding a synchronization-loss limit; a synchronization-loss limit-current calculation unit that calculates the limitation value on the synchronization-loss limit current on the basis of the magnet temperature of the DC motor, the bus voltage to be applied to the inverter unit, and the information regarding a synchronization-loss limit; and a control unit that compares the primary current to be input to the converter unit with the limitation value and that, when the primary current exceeds the limitation value, outputs an adjustment command to adjust the operating frequency of the DC motor such that the primary current becomes equal to or less than the limitation value.
