Patent number: 10870355Abstract: This motor driving control apparatus has (A) an inverter unit configured to drive a motor; (B) a separation switch configured to separate a power source from the inverter unit; and (C) a controller configured to instruct the separation switch to separate the power source from the inverter unit and control the inverter unit to perform switching according to a speed and a braking target torque, upon detecting an event that braking should be performed without passing a regenerative current to the power source from the inverter unit. By introducing the separation switch that operates as described above, it becomes possible to perform control so as to consume the power by the motor itself without passing the regenerative current to the power source such as a battery.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignees: MICROSPACE CORPORATION, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato Tanaka, Yasuo Hosaka, Hiromi Hagiwara, Teruaki Kawahigashi, Yuto Kajiya, Taichi Yanaoka

Publication number: 20170110998Abstract: A driving control apparatus includes a controller that generates a first signal for controlling turn-on to a brushless motor, a PWM signal generator that generates a PWM signal for driving the brushless motor by continuous turn-on with a sine wave, and an inverter that supplies a driving voltage generated based on the first signal and the PWM signal for the brushless motor. The controller generates the first signal so that a turn-on section represented by the first signal continuously increases from a reference turn-on angle according to increase of a rotation speed, and the turn-on section having an angle corresponding to the continuous turn-on is kept when the rotation speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed. The PWM signal generator outputs the PWM signal in a range including a rotation speed at which the turn-on section begins to increase from the reference turn-on angle and more.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicants: MICROSPACE CORPORATIOIN, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato TANAKA, Hiromi Hagiwara, Kazuo Asanuma, Hirokazu Shirakawa
