  • Publication number: 20170047874
    Abstract: A method of controlling a rotational speed of a motor of an electric bed includes the following steps. (A) Use a sensor to detect rotation of the motor, set a predetermined rotational speed of the motor in a microcontroller, and use the microcontroller to calculate actual rotational speeds of the motor. (B) Use the microcontroller to calculate an average actual rotational speed of the motor at each of sampling time points in a predetermined period. (C) Use the microcontroller to compare the average actual rotational speed of the motor with the predetermined rotational speed to obtain a difference signal. (D) Input the difference signal to a driver circuit to adjust the rotational speed of the motor until the average actual rotational speed of the motor is equal to the predetermined rotational speed. In this way, the motor of the electric bed can approximately rotate in the predetermined rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20170035632
    Abstract: A synchronized motion control system for a double electric bed includes two control devices attached to two electric single beds of the double electric bed respectively. Each electric single bed has a driver circuit and a motor. Each control device has a Hall sensor for generating a Hall signal of the motor, a microcontroller electrically connected with the Hall sensor for generating a rotation number signal according to the Hall signal, and a communication unit electrically connected with the microcontroller. The communication units are electrically connected with each other. The microcontroller of one of the control devices compares the two rotation number signals to generate a difference signal. The motor corresponding to the larger rotation number signal is decelerated according to the difference signal, so as to make the two electric single beds perform synchronized motion.
