Time t1-t9 occurs during stationary signal portion.With reference to the discussed above of Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A, it is obvious that When two FET of the associated half-bridge circuit of drive motor winding are ended, stationary signal portion occurs.
For combining Fig. 5, Fig. 5 A and Fig. 7 above-mentioned reason, on time t6, stationary signal portion and current signal 742 Zero passage it is consistent or almost as one man change orientation.Thus, the change of the orientation of stationary signal portion can be electronic for detecting Zero-current crossover in machine winding.Particularly on time t1-t5, stationary signal portion extends above motor voltage VM. On the contrary, on time t6-t9, stationary signal portion extends below in ground voltage.Another change of stationary signal portion or It is orientated (not shown) to occur at next zero passage of current signal 742, and also can be used in detection zero passage next time.
In certain embodiments, circuit can be to letter (see, for example, the comparator 808,810 shown in Fig. 8 below) Number VExport A722 are sampled, with only or time to approach t1-t9 at and also believe in subsequent other similar to being detected at the time Number transient portion thereof.Time t1-t9 with the subsequent similar time be it is known because two FET moments at those times cut Only.In other embodiments, signal 722 can be sampled continuously, to detect stationary signal portion.
In certain embodiments, the change of the orientation of stationary signal portion can be detected using two comparators.Electric current Two zero passages of signal 742 can be detected.However, in other embodiments, it is upward that a comparator can be used in detection The existence or non-existence of stationary signal portion for extending or extending downwardly.Two zero passages of current signal 742 remain able to use One comparator detects.
Referring now to Figure 8, wherein, identical reference number, zero current detection mould are shown having with Fig. 1 identical elements Block 802 can be same or similar with Fig. 1 current measurement module 144.
Zero current detection module 802 can include first comparator 808, and it is coupled to three via optional switch 804 Individual motor winding.Zero current detection module 802 can also include the second comparator 810, and it is via optional switch 806 by coupling It is bonded to three motor windings.First comparator 808 can be coupled as receiving the ginseng equal or close to motor voltage VM Examine voltage.Second comparator 810 can be coupled as receiving the reference voltage equal or close to ground voltage.
First comparator 808 is configurable to generate output signal 808a, and output signal 808a instructions exceed motor voltage Selected motor winding on voltage.Second comparator 810 is configurable to generate output signal 810a, output signal 810a Indicate the voltage on the selected motor winding less than ground voltage.Thus, in operation, first comparator 808 is operable For positive polarity transient signal section 702b, 702c of the pwm signal that detects Fig. 7 associated with sine motor driving, 704b, 704c、702b’、702c’.Equally, in operation, the second comparator 810 can be used to detection and drive phase with sine motor Negative polarity transient signal section 704b, 704c of Fig. 7 of association pwm signal.As described above, the edge of these signal sections can For identifying the zero-current crossover in associated motor winding.

Multiplexer 812, which can be coupled as receiving, comes from the control signal 146d of modulated signal generation module 146.Switch 804th, 806 can be coupled as receiving from other control signal (not shown) of modulated signal generation module 146.
Modulated signal generation module 146 can use polytype logic, to identify one or more motor windings In zero-current crossover.For example, according to the discussed above of combination Fig. 7 and Fig. 7 A, it is defeated for PWM sine motor drive signals Go out stationary signal portion 702b, 702c, 704b, 704c, 702b that signal 808a, 810a can be used in identifying pwm signal 642 ', Changes of the 702c ' on direction.Substantially, multiplexer 812 is allowed hand over to check other comparators, no matter is detected when It is made up of the specific direction of stationary signal portion.
In certain embodiments, without using switch, and only one motor winding is used to provide to comparator 808,810 Signal.In certain embodiments, using only a comparator, and multiplexer 812 is not required.When motor winding On voltage beyond motor voltage VM and/or when less than ground voltage, can be used by modulated signal generation module 146 each The different types of logic of kind, to be identified by the zero passage of the electric current of motor winding by using above-mentioned detection technique.
Referring now to Figure 9, curve 900 has trunnion axis, it is with the scale in units of the arbitrary unit time.Curve 900 also have vertical axis, and it is with the scale in units of arbitrary unit electric current.Curve 920 has trunnion axis, and it is carried to appoint The meaning unit interval is the scale of unit.Curve 920 also has vertical axis, and it is with the scale in units of arbitrary unit voltage.
Signal 904 represents trapezoidal motor driving, is completely contradicted with above-mentioned sine motor drive signal.The table of signal 904 Show the trapezoidal current signal on motor winding.
It should be appreciated that voltage waveform 922 represents the reality applied to the motor winding driven for a hundred per cent motor Border voltage.Driven for a hundred per cent motor, signal 922 realizes voltage VM (the electronic electromechanics with a hundred per cent dutycycle Pressure), and be zero at other times.For driving (not shown) less than absolutely different trapezoidal motor, hundred During/hundred drive signals 922 realize voltage VM period, the driving of different trapezoidal motor provides pulse width modulation Signal, it has with the with good grounds pulse width modulation for being less than the absolutely dutycycle of motor driving.
The time of electronic electromechanical circulation can be broken down into six kinds of states, only four kinds of states 902a, 902b, 902c, 902d It is illustrated.Signal during other two states will be apparent.Each reception in motor winding is as motor Motor drive signal as drive signal 922, but moved in phase, and start in a different phases.
Using trapezoidal driving, the drive signal applied to motor winding is zero during first phase 902a, and Also it is zero during 4th phase 902d.Thus, during first phase 902a and the 4th phase 902d, current signal 904 is being believed Zero current is realized during number part 904a and during signal section 904d.Due to the inductance performance of motor winding, zero current It will not be realized immediately at first phase 902a and the 4th phase 902d beginning.For combine Fig. 1 above-mentioned reason, when to around The driving voltage that group applies is zero and when current attenuation is to zero, back EMF voltage through winding directly it is observed that.
For the above-mentioned reason being described more fully with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A, during signal section 922a, on motor winding Signal 922 realize voltage VM+Vd, and during signal section 922d, signal 922 realizes voltage-Vd.Signal section 904a, The example method that zero current is detected during 904d is described above in association with Fig. 5 and 5A.For this purpose, signal 922 Part 922a, 922d can be used in examining using all those circuits as explained above with described by Fig. 5, Fig. 5 A and Fig. 8 and technology Survey zero winding current.
During first phase 902a and the 4th phase 904d parts, the dotted portion particularly in voltage signal 922 During 922b, 922e, back EMF voltage be it is direct it is observed that.During part 922b, 922e of voltage signal 922, and During part 922a, 922d, no drive signal is applied to associated motor.As described above, motor winding Inductance performance causes electric current by motor winding, only to realize zero electricity during part 922b, 922e of drive signal 922 Stream.
In summary, it should be apparent that using trapezoidal driving and using six kinds of electric drive states, exist every The plenty of time section that individual motor winding is not driven, for example, with occupying 1/6th (i.e. 60 of electronic electromechanical rotation jointly Degree) signal section 922a, 922b associated period during, and with occupy jointly electronic electromechanical rotation another During signal section 922d, 922e of 1/6th (i.e. 60 degree) the associated period, motor winding does not drive.It is logical End (that is, signal section 922b, 922e during) of the electric current of motor winding in stationary signal portion 922a, 922d is crossed to become It is zero.During signal section 922b, 922e, back EMF voltage be it is direct it is observed that.Thus, unlike having been described above Sinusoidal drive, for the motor winding being continuously driven, using the trapezoidal drive arrangement of six kinds of states, without being tied to detect Beam indicates stationary signal portion 922a, 922d of zero winding current, or in order to detect the signal section of instruction motor rotation position Divide the zero passage during 922b, 922e and be individually created the time window during no motor driving is applied to winding.
