Abstract

Provided is a motor control circuit in which the circuit structure is not complicated, which has a favorable response to the phase difference signal, and in which the signal variation caused by heat is small. This rotation control circuit of a motor includes: a PWM control circuit of the motor; a rotational speed sensor of the motor; a reference signal generation circuit 10 ; a phase comparing circuit; and a divider for dividing the detected rotational speed signal of the motor; wherein the phase difference between the signal from the divider and the signal based on the reference signal is sought with the phase comparing unit, and this phase difference signal is supplied to the PWM control circuit.

Claims (19)

1. A rotation control circuit of a motor, comprising:

a PWM control circuit of the motor;

a rotational speed sensor of the motor;

a reference signal generation circuit;

a phase comparing circuit;

a divider for dividing the detected rotational speed signal of the motor; and

rotation command means of the motor;

wherein the phase difference between the signal from the divider and the signal based on the reference signal is sought with the phase comparing unit, and this phase difference signal is supplied to the PWM control circuit; and

wherein the command means alters the division ratio of the divider in accordance with the contents of the rotational speed alteration request to the motor.

2. A driver comprising the rotation control circuit of a motor according to claim 1 , wherein the driver employs the motor controlled with the control circuit as a drive source of a drive mechanism.

3. A driver comprising the rotation control circuit of a motor according to claim 1 , wherein the driver employs the motor controlled with the control circuit as a drive source of a drive mechanism.

4. A vehicle having a vehicle body, a drive wheel, an auxiliary wheel, and a first drive source and in which the first drive source rotates the drive wheel to make the vehicle run, comprising:

a position sensor of the vehicle body which outputs a frequency signal as a detection signal;

drive control means of the vehicle body; and

posture control means of the vehicle body which has a second drive source for moving the position of the drive wheel in relation to the vehicle body, a third drive source for making the auxiliary wheel float from the road surface, and a control circuit for controlling the second drive source in accordance with the frequency signal from the position sensor and the drive control means;

wherein the control circuit has a reference signal generation circuit, a phase comparing circuit, a divider for dividing the frequency signal, and a PWM control circuit, the phase difference between the signal from the divider and the signal based on the reference signal is compared with said phase comparing unit, this phase difference signal is supplied to the PWM control circuit, and the output of the PWM control circuit is supplied to the second drive source.

5. A vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the first and second drive sources are electric motors.

6. A vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the position sensor is a distance sensor of the vehicle body and road surface, or an inclination sensor for detecting the inclination of the vehicle body.

7. A vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the detection signal is a distance signal for indicating the distance of the vehicle body and road surface, or an inclination signal for indicating the inclination of the vehicle body.
