  • Patent number: 11378070
    Abstract: A controller of a motor control device increases a voltage to be applied to a coil based on a control signal calculated from an estimated rotation speed, when the estimated rotation speed becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined rotation speed, increases the voltage to be applied to the coil based on a control signal calculated from an actual rotation speed, in a case where the actual rotation speed is lower than the predetermined rotation speed when the estimated rotation speed becomes higher than the predetermined rotation speed, and decreases the voltage to be applied to the coil based on a control signal calculated from the actual rotation speed, in a case where the actual rotation speed is higher than the predetermined rotation speed when the estimated rotation speed becomes higher than the predetermined rotation speed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10812001
    Abstract: A control device to control a motor includes a stator including a coil, a rotor including a permanent magnet, a detector that detects a rotational position of the rotor at every predetermined angle and outputs a position signal indicating the detected rotational position, and a controller that receives the position signal output by the detector and adjusts a duty ratio of a driving signal of the rotor by a pulse width modulation scheme based on the received position signal to control rotation of the rotor. The controller raises the duty ratio from a first duty ratio, starting from a point in time at which the position signal is received, and returns the raised duty ratio to the first duty ratio when a next position signal has been received.
