  • Patent number: 11901847
    Abstract: A controller in a motor control device includes an integral operation unit 606A (608A) that performs an arithmetic operation for a d(q)-axis integrated value Id** (Iq**) through integral control performed on a d(q)-axis current deviation ?Id (?Iq) and is configured to perform an arithmetic operation for a d(q)-axis voltage command value for controlling an output voltage of an inverter of a three-phase brushless motor. The controller further includes a limit value arithmetic operation unit 606C (608C) that performs an arithmetic operation for d(q)-axis integration upper and lower limit values Idmax (Iqmax) and Idmin (Iqmin) on the basis of a power source voltage of the inverter and the like and an integration limiting unit 606D (608E) that limits Id** (Iq**) within a predetermined range defined by the d(q)-axis integration upper and lower limit values.

  • Patent number: 11764720
    Abstract: A three-phase brushless motor control device uses one shunt resistor disposed on a bus of an inverter as a drive circuit driving a three-phase brushless motor and acquires a two-phase current of the three-phase brushless motor at a predetermined timing to vector-control the three-phase brushless motor. At this time, in accordance with a duration in which the two-phase current cannot be accurately acquired, the control device varies an acquisition timing of the two-phase current or varies a period during which the three-phase brushless motor is vector-controlled.
