  • Patent number: 10042343
    Abstract: This application discloses a control device for controlling a motor configured to drive an oscillatory cyclo-speed reducer including an oscillatory gear portion formed with at least one hole at an eccentric position. The control device includes an angle acquirer for acquiring input information about an input rotational angle indicating a rotational angle of the motor, an estimator for estimating an angular error between the input rotational angle and an output rotational angle indicating a rotational angle of the oscillatory cyclo-speed reducer based on a quantity of the hole(s) and a corrector for determining a compensation current value in correspondence to the angular error and setting a magnitude of a current to be supplied to the motor by correcting a command current value using the compensation current value.

  • Patent number: 8588371
    Abstract: An inverter circuit allowing a single drive circuit to perform both tracking control for tracking resonance frequency fluctuations caused by load fluctuations, and power control, thereby reducing switching loss. An inverter drive circuit part obtains a phase difference between output current and output voltage directed to a load circuit connected to a midpoint of two arm circuits of the inverter circuit, and controls a phase of the driving signal directed to each semiconductor switch such that the phase difference becomes zero or a predetermined value, enabling an operating frequency of the inverter circuit part to track a resonance frequency of the load circuit, and enabling a current phase to be delayed with respect to a voltage phase, thereby achieving ZCS. Since the phase difference is used, an auxiliary circuit is not necessary for measuring a current value in proximity to the semiconductor switches.

  • Publication number: 20110222651
    Abstract: There is provided an inverter circuit which allows a single drive circuit to carry out both the tracking control for tracking resonance frequency fluctuations caused by load fluctuations, and the power control, thereby reducing switching loss. An inverter drive circuit part obtains a phase difference between output current and output voltage directed to a load circuit which is connected to a midpoint of two arm circuits of the inverter circuit, and controls a phase of the driving signal directed to each of the semiconductor switches in such a manner that the phase difference becomes zero or a predetermined value. This allows an operating frequency of the inverter circuit part to track a resonance frequency of the load circuit. In addition, this enables a current phase to be delayed with respect to a voltage phase, thereby achieving ZCS.

  • Patent number: 5986424
    Abstract: A control system which comprises a reduction gear unit containing gears, a motor being disposed on an input side of said reduction gear unit, a sensor for detecting a turning angle of said motor, and control means for inputting output from said sensor and controlling turning of said motor. The control system further includes gear output angle variation estimation means for estimating a gear output angle variation of said reduction gear unit based on the motor turning angle. An angle transmission error is estimated based on the motor turning angle, whereby load tip locus accuracy can be improved without lowering responsivity of the control system.
