Motor and motor drive system
View Patent ↗Provided is a motor having a combination of a plurality of coil pairs and a permanent magnet, wherein these coil pairs are supplied with an excitation signal from a drive circuit so as to be excited at alternate opposite poles, and the permanent magnet is constituted such that the plurality of polar elements is disposed to become alternating opposite poles; the drive circuit is constituted to supply an excitation signal having a prescribed frequency to the coil pairs, and relatively move the coil pairs and permanent magnet with the magnetic attraction—repulsion between the coils and permanent magnet; and the drive circuit is constituted to supply to the coil pairs a waveform signal corresponding to the pattern of the back electromotive voltage to be generated in accordance with the relative movement between the coil pairs and permanent magnet.
1. A drive system for an AC motor having a plurality of coils and a permanent magnet with a plurality of polar elements disposed to become alternating opposite poles, the drive system comprising:
a Hall element sensor measuring a back electromotive force waveform generated by one of the coils and outputting the back electromotive force waveform; and
a rotation control circuit that converts the back electromotive force waveform output from the Hall element sensor into a rectangular waveform,
wherein the rotation control circuit:
provides the rectangular waveform to the plurality of coils until a rotation speed of the AC motor exceeds a prescribed value; and
provides the back electromotive force waveform output by the Hall element sensor to the plurality of coils after the rotation speed of the AC motor exceeds the prescribed value.
2. The drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation control circuit reverses a polarity of the back electromotive force waveform so as to change a direction of rotation of the AC motor.
