Patent number: 7888893Abstract: The start timing of the pole position inference process of the linear motor installed vertically is delayed by a predetermined time after instruction of brake release. For example, from (1) increasing of the thrust instruction value of an ASR control system up to a predetermined value, (2) the movement (falling) distance of the moving part, or (3) the moving (falling) speed of the moving part, the release condition of the brake is detected and moreover after a predetermined time, the inference process of the pole position is started. The inference process of the pole position of a synchronous motor is fit to the release timing of a brake and a malfunction of the inference process and a runaway (falling in the vertical drive) of a moving part are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hirokazu Nagura, Hiromi Inaba, Toshifumi Yoshikawa, Hironori Ohashi, Yuri Takano, Masaki Sugiura

Patent number: 6147470Abstract: A vector control apparatus having a DC braking function which is insusceptible to trip even upon DC braking and scarcely suffers vibration upon stoppage is provided.The control apparatus includes a DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 and switches S1, S3 and S4 controlled thereby, wherein in a vector control mode, the DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 sets all the switches S1, S3 and S4 to position a for realizing the vector control. When a DC control state is to be validated from the above-mentioned state, phase of voltage vector is calculated to change over the switches S1 and S3 to position b, and the absolute value of the q-axis current is compared with a reference value .alpha.. When the absolute value of the q-axis current is smaller than the reference value .alpha., the switch S4 is changed over to the position b to thereby effectuate only the d-axis current control.According to the present invention, there is provided a vector control apparatus having a tripless DC braking function.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1999Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hironori Ohashi, Makoto Takase, Hiroyuki Tomita, Seiji Ishida

Patent number: 5631819Abstract: The invention provides an electric power converter system which uses a standard low-priced control processor and is suitable for improving the voltage utilization factor in the output voltage. D-axis and q-axis voltage commands and a rotation angle .theta. defining a voltage command vector on a rotating coordinate system are input to a voltage calculation circuit. The voltage command vector is transformed in a rotating coordinate transformation unit into a .alpha. axis and .beta. axis voltage commands to be defined relative to stationary coordinate system. A judgment unit determines which section contains the voltage command vector, from among three sections on the stationary coordinate system having one axis thereof (.alpha.-axis for example) coinciding with one axis of the three phases. A three phase voltage generation unit then selects a method of calculation on the basis of a result of the section determination, and calculates three phase voltage command values respectively utilizing the .alpha.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1996Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Ryoso Masaki, Takashi Ikimi, Hironori Ohashi, Yuusuke Takamoto, Seiji Ishida, Sanshiro Obara
