  • Patent number: 11786828
    Abstract: A swing control method is disclosed. Dual photoelectric sensors and gratings are involved. The method includes: detecting the time when blocked or opening parts of gratings pass through photoelectric sensors; comparing a minimum time value with a time value corresponding to a preset swing amplitude in each swing cycle, and when the minimum time value is not equal to the preset time value, generating a control signal for adjusting an output power of a motor so that the swing amplitude reaches the preset swing amplitude; detecting a current swing direction; and determining whether the current swing direction changes, and if yes, generating a control signal for adjusting the output power of the motor for co-direction supplementary augmentation. The method controls the swing speed of a swing by calculating a value of the time when the blocked or opening parts of the gratings pass through the photoelectric sensors.

  • Patent number: 10646786
    Abstract: Disclosed is a swinging drive control apparatus, including a controller and a motor, where the controller detects a counter-electromotive force of the motor and drives the motor according to the detection result. Also disclosed is a corresponding method, including: measuring a counter-electromotive force of a motor in a previous cycle; and comparing a maximum counter-electromotive force value with a preset value, and calculating a PWM pulse duty factor in a next cycle. By directly detecting the counter-electromotive force of the motor without using a sensor, the present invention implements swinging frequency and phase tracking as well as swinging amplitude control, and simplifies a control system.
