Abstract

A motor control device includes a feed-forward control unit configured to detect a change amount of any one of the target voltage, the applied voltage peak value, and the revolution number difference, which are a monitoring target. The control unit is also configured to manipulate an operation amount of a predetermined operation target on the basis of a magnitude of the change amount to correct the number of revolutions of the motor recognized by a controller.

Claims (22)

1. A motor control device configured to detect a rotor position of a permanent magnetic synchronous motor through sensorless control in a controller, the motor control device comprising:

an inverter that is configured to detect an electric current flowing through a coil of the motor;

a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal generating unit that is configured to detect, via the inverter, a voltage applied to the coil of the motor;

a rotor position detecting unit configured to detect:

a current phase, a current peak value, and an induced voltage phase on the basis of the electric current detected by the inverter and the voltage detected by the PWM signal generating unit, and

the rotor position on the basis of the detected current phase, the detected current peak value and the detected induced voltage phase;

a target current phase setting unit configured to set a target current phase on the basis of the current phase detected by the rotor position detecting unit;

a revolution number detecting unit that is configured to detect:

a number of revolutions of the motor on the basis of the rotor position detected by the rotor position detecting unit, and

a revolution number difference between the detected number of revolutions and a target number of revolutions instructed for the motor;

a voltage peak value detecting unit that detects an applied voltage peak value of a voltage applied to the coil on the basis of the revolution number difference detected by the revolution number detecting unit;

a phase voltage setting unit that is configured to set a target voltage on the basis of the target current phase set by the target current phase setting unit and the applied voltage peak value detected by the voltage peak value detecting unit; and

a feed-forward control unit configured to:

detect a change amount of any one of: the target voltage, the applied voltage peak value, and the revolution number difference, which are a monitoring target, and

manipulate an operation amount of a predetermined operation target on the basis of a magnitude of the change amount, to correct the number of revolutions of the motor recognized by the controller.

2. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined operation target is the revolution number difference detected by the revolution number detecting unit.

3. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the operation target is the target current set by the target current phase setting unit.

4. The motor control device according to claim 2 , wherein:

the feed-forward control unit detects a change amount of the monitoring target,

converts the change amount into an actual revolution number difference of the motor,

filters the actual revolution number difference with a filter of a response time constant, which takes into account inertia of the rotor, to detect an added revolution number difference, and

adds the added revolution number difference to the number of revolutions detected by the revolution number detecting unit.
