  • Patent number: 9281765
    Abstract: A motor deceleration method for a motor driving system is provided. The motor driving system outputs a driving signal containing a voltage value, a current value and a frequency value for driving a motor. When a deceleration of the motor is launched, the descent speeds of the voltage value and the frequency value are controlled according to a preset deceleration time period. Then, a voltage compensation value is generated according to a result of comparing the current value with a preset current level, and the voltage value is increased according to the voltage compensation value, so that the current value is increased to the preset current level. According to a frequency compensation value, the current value is increased to and maintained at the preset current level. Finally, the rotating speed of the motor is gradually decreased to a preset speed.

  • Patent number: 8737044
    Abstract: A moving module and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and the moving module disposed between the first and second bodies. The moving module includes a rail, a moving element, and an elastic element. The moving element is in contact with the rail. The elastic element is connected between the moving element and the first body. When the moving element moves from a first end of the rail to a curved portion of the rail, a force exerted on the elastic element by the moving element is gradually increased. When the moving element passes the curved portion, an elastic restoration force of the elastic element drives the moving element to move toward a second end of the rail. When the moving element reaches the first end or the second end, the first body and the second body interfere with each other.

  • Publication number: 20100008114
    Abstract: A discontinuous protection method clamps phase currents in an inverter initially sets a current clamping flag and a current threshold. The phase currents are alternatively cut out by a criterion based on the current-clamp flag and based on whether the phase currents exceed the current threshold. By proving current in discontinuous way under certain situation judged by the criterion, over current protection and shut-down of inverter can be prevented. The method further sets a carrier frequency modulation flag. The carrier frequency is increased to 8 KHz when the phase current is to be cut out, thus speeding up protection for clamping current.

  • Publication number: 20060294032
    Abstract: A fee calculation system for electrical energy consumption of motor drive and method for the same. The electrical power consumption for the motor drive and for a motor driven by the motor drive are calculated and displayed. An instantaneous load power of the motor is calculated according to an output voltage, an output current and a power factor of the motor drive. The total instantaneous consumption power is the sum of the instantaneous load power of the motor and the internal power of the motor drive. The total instantaneous consumption power is converted to power consumption per hour and is then multiplied with the operation hour to obtain the total electrical energy consumption. The total electrical energy consumption is multiplied with a fee schedule input by user to obtain the total fee for the electrical energy consumption. The total fee is then shown on a display of the motor drive.

  • Patent number: 7106018
    Abstract: A method of balancing the rotation of a motor is provided. Whether or not the motor is in a balanced rotation is determined by detecting whether the variation of a power-factor angle is less than or equal to a preset balance angle according to the principle that the load on a motor has an effect on the variation of the power-factor angle. The determined balance state of the motor is used to adjust the rotation speed of the motor.
