  • Patent number: 8716964
    Abstract: Phase correction unit (25) for outputting a commutation signal for switching a winding that allows a current to flow to brushless DC motor (4) and drive unit (16) for outputting a drive signal indicating supplying timing of electric power supplied to brushless DC motor (4) by inverter (3) based on the commutation signal output from phase correction unit (25) are provided so as to maintain a predetermined relation between a phase of a current flowing to a predetermined winding of brushless DC motor (4) and a phase of a voltage. Since brushless DC motor (4) is driven by a signal for holding the predetermined relation between the phase of the current and the phase of the voltage, the stability of drive under high-speed and high-load conditions is enhanced and a drive range is extended.

  • Patent number: 8664899
    Abstract: To present a motor drive control device capable of realizing high speed driving by a simple power feeding control method. The motor drive control device of the invention has a three-phase full bridge circuit for adjusting the feeding phase so as to invert the terminal voltage in feeding-off time, by cyclically repeating positive direction feeding period, non-feeding period, negative direction feeding period, and non-feeding period. In high speed driving, the phase is adjusted so as to invert the terminal voltage right after feeding-off, and if not reaching the desired rotating speed, the feeding time is shortened. As a result, the phase angle to the actual applied voltage can be advanced, and high seed rotation by weak-field system driving is realized.

  • Patent number: 8226372
    Abstract: A compressor includes a motor driven by a controller and having a rotor and a stator, a compressing unit driven by the motor in a hermetic container in which refrigerant is filled. Driving the motor at a low rpm, the controller practices a feedback control which determines a timing of turning on/off switching elements based on a signal detecting a position of the rotor, and when the motor is driven at a high rpm, the controller practices an open-loop control which outputs a given frequency and drives the motor synchronizing with the given frequency. This structure achieves a compressor working with a fewer noises in PWM driving.

  • Publication number: 20110279070
    Abstract: Brushless DC motor (4) is driven based on a first or second waveform signal output from operation switching unit (11), which switches output so that a first waveform signal by first waveform generation unit (6) is output when the speed of rotor (4a) is determined to be lower than a predetermined speed, and a second waveform signal by second waveform generation unit (10) is output when the speed of rotor (4a) is determined to be higher than the predetermined speed. Thus, there is provided a motor driving device in which drive is stable even at high speed/under high load, and a driving range is extended.
