Abstract

A triangle wave generator ( 4 ) measures the phase difference between a triangle wave (CA) and the rotor electrical angle (θ m ) during a first cycle in which the rotation rate of a rotor ( 7 ) is detected, and changes the frequency of the triangle wave (CA) when the value of the phase difference between the triangle wave (CA) and the rotor electrical angle (θ m ) exceeds a threshold value, thereby allowing rapid response to changes in rotor rotation when PWM control is performed.

Claims (15)

1. A motor actuation control device, comprising:

a control unit for outputting a command signal and a triangle wave to generate a PWM signal and controls the actuation of a motor by the PWM signal; and

an angle sensor for detecting a rotor electrical angle,

wherein the control unit outputs the command signal by determining a voltage value of the command signal based on the rotor electrical angle and a torque requirement value,

calculates a rotation rate of the rotor for a first cycle based on the rotor electrical angle,

determines a frequency of the triangle wave for the first cycle based on the rotation rate of the rotor to output the triangle wave,

detects a phase difference between the phase angle of the triangle wave and the rotor electrical angle for a second cycle shorter than the first cycle,

and changes the frequency of the triangle wave when the value of the phase difference between the phase angle of the triangle wave and the rotor electrical angle exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

2. A motor actuation control device according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the control unit stores the number of pulses to be output by the PWM signal during one cycle of the command signal as a designated pulse number,

calculates a reference angle by multiplying the rotor electrical angle by the designated pulse,

detects the phase difference between the phase angle of the triangle wave and the reference angle and

changes the frequency of the triangle wave when the phase difference between the phase angle of the triangle wave and the reference angle exceeds a threshold value.

3. A motor actuation control device according to claim 2 , wherein ±180° is set as the threshold value.
