  • Patent number: 11418136
    Abstract: A motor control device provided with a control unit which controls the number of rotations of a motor by implementing a first control which enables high-torque and precise control, or a second control enabling more efficient control than the first control with respect to the motor; and a switching determination unit which, if an actual measurement value of the number of rotations of the motor is greater than a prescribed threshold value of the number of rotations, switches the first control to the second control. The switching determination unit further switches the first control to the second control if the actual measurement value of the number of rotations is not more than the threshold value of the number of rotations, and when a prescribed time has passed from a point in time at which the actual measurement value of the number of rotations matched the required number of rotations.

  • Patent number: 10662946
    Abstract: This electric compressor includes a compressor which rotates to compress a fluid, a motor which rotatably drives the compressor, and a control unit which controls current supply to the motor using first and second components. An allowable current for first and second components exposed to the same temperature is set to be smaller in the second component than in the first component. The second component is disposed at a place in which cooling capability is greater than that of the first component so that allowable power of the second component at rated use is greater than allowable power of the first component. This electric compressor includes a temperature sensor which detects the temperature of the first component and a calculation unit which outputs an alarm signal when the detected temperature and a current flowing in the first component satisfy a predetermined condition.
