Patent number: 11671034Abstract: A motor control system shorts motor windings of a motor by using enhancement metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) so that the motor generates braking torque when all or some electric control units of the motor are disabled or failed. The motor control system comprises: a motor comprising a plurality of motor phase terminals; a plurality of electric control units electrically connected to the motor and configured to control the motor, wherein the electric control units configured to output control signals, respectively; a plurality of power sources, each of the power sources electrically connected to a respective one of the electric control units; and a shorting circuit connected between the power sources and the motor, the shorting circuit configured to selectively short the motor phase terminals in response to one or more of the control signals of the electric control units.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: HL MANDO CORPORATIONInventors: Shakil Hossain, Lucas Ritter, Awab Ali, Tomy Sebastian, Kade Hudson

Patent number: 11223304Abstract: A motor control system comprises: a motor comprising motor windings; and electric control units connected with the motor, each of the electric control units comprising an inverter. One of the electric control units comprises: a direct current (DC) bus; first switches, each of the first switches connected with a respective one of the motor windings; second switches, each of the second switches connected with the DC bus and a respective one of the motor windings; a first switch driver generating drive signals to drive the first and second switches; pull up resistors, each of the pull up resistors connected between the DC bus and a respective one of the second switches. The voltage pulled up by the pull up resistors can force the second switches to be turned on to short the motor windings in a state that the first switch driver does not generate the drive signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: MANDO CORPORATIONInventors: Shakil Hossain, Lucas Ritter, Awab Ali, Tomy Sebastian, Kade Hudson
