Abstract: A method of adaptively controlling a brushless DC motor includes steps of: controlling the brushless DC motor rotating at a first speed according to an operation curve, accumulating a running time of the brushless DC motor, estimating a remaining used time of a bearing of the brushless DC motor according to the accumulated running time, executing an alarm operation when the remaining used time is less than a predetermined time, and decreasing the speed of the brushless DC motor to run at a second speed to prolong the used time of the bearing.

Abstract: A method of estimating used time of a brushless DC motor is provided. The method includes steps of: calculating a running time of the brushless DC motor when the brushless DC motor is in a normal operation state, recording the running time when the brushless DC motor is in an abnormal operation state, updating an accumulated running time, estimating a used time of a bearing of the brushless DC motor according to the accumulated running time, and determining a life span of the bearing according to the used time of the bearing.

Abstract: A brushless DC motor with automatic record of abnormal operation includes an integrated circuit chip electrically connected to a drive circuit of the brushless DC motor. The integrated circuit chip includes a central processing unit, and a flash memory and a detection unit connected to the central processing unit. When the detection unit receives a detection signal from the drive circuit and the central processing unit determines that the brushless DC motor is in an abnormal operation state, the central processing unit generates an abnormal operation data including an error code so that the flash memory automatically stores the abnormal operation data. The present disclosure further includes a method of automatically recording abnormality for the brushless DC motor.
