Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor control device that controls an AC motor by sensorless control without using a rotor position detector.
- the AC motor refers to an electric motor configured to operate by receiving the supply of AC current, and includes brushless DC motors, induction motors, stepping motors, and the like.
- electric motors other than those configured to receive a direct current and change the direction of the winding current using a commutator are included in the category of AC motors.
- a typical motor control device for an AC motor is equipped with an inverter that converts DC to AC, and the inverter supplies AC current to the electric motor. Information on the rotor position is required to properly control the inverter. Therefore, the inverter is controlled by using the output of the rotor position detector that detects the rotation position of the rotor.
- a method is known in which an AC motor is driven by estimating the rotor position and controlling the inverter based on the estimated rotor position.
- Such a control method is called "position sensorless control” or simply “sensorless control”.
- position sensorless control By omitting the rotor position detector, it is not necessary to consider the mounting position accuracy of the rotor position detector and the wiring related to the rotor position detector.
- the sensorless control has an advantage that it can be applied to a motor in which the rotor position detector cannot be physically arranged and a motor in which the rotor position detector cannot withstand the usage environment.
- the estimation of the rotor position in typical sensorless control is based on the induced voltage method.
- the induced voltage method is a method in which an induced voltage is obtained by an operation based on a motor model using a voltage command and a current detected value, and the rotor position is estimated using the induced voltage.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a method for detecting a minute induced voltage at low speed rotation. This method utilizes the current derivative of the winding current during the zero voltage vector period when no voltage is applied between the windings.
- the methods for detecting the current derivative are roughly divided into a method of calculating from the current detection value as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, and a method described in Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2. There is a method of using a dedicated current differential detector.
- the current differential value is calculated by sampling the current value at least twice during the zero voltage period of the PWM sequence and dividing the amount of change in the current value by the sampling time interval.
- This method requires high-speed A / D conversion in order to perform multiple samplings in a short time, which causes an increase in cost.
- the sampling time interval is short, the amount of current change is small, so that the current derivative is affected by the current detection error. The value error becomes large.
- the sampling time interval is long, the time from the detection of the current value to the acquisition of the current differential value becomes long, which adversely affects the controllability.
- Patent Document 1 although the current differential value is obtained, the obtained current differential value is used not for estimating the rotor position but for controlling for vibration suppression. Therefore, the current differential value is not required to have much accuracy.
- the current derivative value obtained by the method described in Patent Document 1 is not suitable for the purpose of estimating the rotor position.
- the current detection signal is converted into a current differential value by an analog circuit. Specifically, it is equipped with a differential amplifier circuit to which a current detection signal is input and an integrator circuit that integrates the output of the differential amplifier circuit, and feeds the output of the integrator circuit back to the differential amplifier circuit to obtain the integrated value. It is configured to input the difference amplification value from the current detection signal to the integrator circuit.
- the differential amplification value that is, the input value of the integrator circuit corresponds to the current differential value.
- the output of the integrator circuit becomes a current detection signal in which the high frequency component by the PWM signal for controlling the inverter is filtered.
- SRM switch reluctance motor
- the commutation timing is determined by comparing the current differential value and the threshold value.
- the current detector is configured to detect the current with an analog sensor, so it has an error of 1% or more of the full scale. Then, a current detector having a full scale with a margin for the maximum current flowing through the motor winding is selected.
- the current change corresponding to the current differential value is small, and is only a few percent of the full-scale current of the current detector.
- the method of obtaining the current differential value from the current detection value is advantageous in terms of cost and space because it does not use a dedicated detector, but in terms of detection accuracy and speed, a dedicated current differential detector is used. Is more advantageous.
- Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe a sensorless control using a dedicated current differential detector. Although the morphology is different, they all operate on the principle of the current transformer, and the voltage corresponding to the change in magnetic flux due to the current of the primary coil is detected at the end of the secondary coil. That is, the current differential value on the primary side can be directly detected by the coil on the secondary side. Since the current differential value is directly detected, it is easier to obtain a better signal than indirectly detecting the current differential value from the current detected value.
- FIG. 2 of Patent Document 3 shows a configuration in which a secondary coil is added to the core of a current detector using a Hall element, and the core is shared for current detection and current differential detection.
- the core magnetic flux changes due to the influence of the current magnetic flux of the secondary coil, which may make it impossible to detect the current correctly.
- the detection principle of the current transformer is that the current flows in the secondary coil in the direction of canceling the magnetic flux of the primary coil, and the secondary current is detected by the voltage drop of the load resistance connected to the coil end of the secondary coil. It is a thing. It is difficult to satisfy the characteristics of two types of detectors with one core, if it is not impossible to obtain appropriate output by load resistance and coil design.
- the safety standard requires an insulation distance between the primary coil and the secondary coil according to the voltage.
- the coating of the magnet wire used for the winding is not considered an insulator under safety standards, so it is necessary to secure the insulation by another means. Therefore, it becomes difficult to reduce the size of the detector.
- Non-Patent Document 1 introduces the characteristics of a current differential sensor having a toroidal coil structure, which is most commonly used as a current differential sensor for sensorless control, and a current differential sensor having a structure using a coaxial cable as a winding. Has been done.
- the toroidal coil has a feature that it detects only the current magnetic flux flowing in the ring and is not affected by the external magnetic flux.
- only the secondary side coil is a winding, and by passing the lead through which the current flows through the ring, it is treated as a primary side one-turn coil.
- a current differentiator based on the principle of the current transformer is more likely to obtain a larger output voltage when a magnetic material is used for the core, but it is more susceptible to the magnetic saturation of the magnetic material and high frequency characteristics.
- the responsiveness is also inferior to that of the air core coil.
- Non-Patent Document 1 it is concluded that the air-core coaxial cable coil shown in Fig. 5 of the same document provides better responsiveness.
- the coaxial cable coil is a coil of coaxial cable, and one of the conductors of the coaxial cable is used for power and the other is used for detection.
- the conductor for power must be thick because it carries a large current. When a high voltage is applied, a large insulation distance is required between the conductors. Therefore, since the coaxial cable itself becomes thick, it is impossible to wind it many times. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a large output and it is also difficult to reduce the size.
- Non-Patent Document 2 introduces a current differential sensor with an air-core toroidal structure called a Rogowski coil. Since no magnetic material is used for the core, a highly responsive output can be obtained without magnetic saturation. Since it is an air core, the output voltage obtained is weak even if the number of turns of the secondary coil is increased. In order to reduce the labor of applying many windings to the ring-shaped core, after winding the tubular object, both ends of the tubular object are connected to form a ring shape (Fig. 5 of the same document). reference). In Non-Patent Document 2, three Rogowski coils are used, but since the individual outputs vary, the characteristics are made uniform by using a signal adjustment circuit.
- the current differential detector is currently handmade for research, and there is no commercially available current differential detector for industrial use.
- Current differential detectors that use magnetic cores have problems with magnetic saturation and responsiveness. If it is an air-core structure, there is no problem of magnetic saturation and responsiveness, but it is necessary to wind the secondary winding many times.
- the production of windings having a toroidal structure is not suitable for mechanization, requires manual work by an operator, and requires a great deal of labor. There is a problem that the cost increases accordingly.
- One embodiment of the present invention provides a motor control device that contributes to overcoming such a problem.
- One embodiment of the present invention provides a motor control device that controls an AC motor by sensorless control without using a rotor position detector.
- This motor control device has a multi-layer print having an inverter that converts DC to AC based on a pulse width modulation signal and a wiring pattern interposed in a current line connecting the inverter and the winding of the AC motor in the inner layer.
- the board is mounted on the main surface of the multilayer printed board so as to face the wiring pattern with the winding direction oriented in a predetermined direction intersecting the wiring pattern, connected in series, and connected to a reference potential.
- a plurality of (preferably even) chip inductors forming a series circuit having a midpoint, load resistors connected between the midpoint of the series circuit and both ends of the series circuit, and the above of the series circuit.
- the position of the rotor of the AC motor is estimated using the differential amplification circuit in which a pair of input ends are connected to both ends and the output of the differential amplification circuit, and the inverter is estimated according to the estimated position of the rotor.
- the wiring pattern of the multilayer printed circuit board is interposed in the current line connecting the inverter and the winding of the AC motor. Since this wiring pattern is formed in the inner layer of the multilayer printed circuit board, good insulation from the main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board is ensured.
- a chip inductor is mounted on the main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board and faces the wiring pattern. The chip inductor is arranged so that the winding direction is directed in a predetermined direction intersecting the wiring pattern.
- the wiring pattern formed in the inner layer of the multilayer printed circuit board and the chip inductor mounted on the main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board face each other in a state of being electrically insulated by the insulating material of the multilayer printed circuit board, and are opposed to each other.
- the wiring pattern and the winding direction of the chip inductor intersect. Therefore, the magnetic flux formed by the current flowing in the wiring pattern and the winding of the chip inductor are interlinked.
- the chip inductor When the current flowing in the wiring pattern changes and the magnetic flux changes accordingly, the chip inductor generates an electromotive force that hinders the change in the magnetic flux, and the corresponding voltage appears between both electrodes of the chip inductor.
- This voltage can be treated as a signal representing the time change of the current flowing in the wiring pattern, in other words, the current derivative. Therefore, since the chip inductor functions as a sensor that directly detects the current derivative, the current derivative value can be detected without requiring complicated and time-consuming arithmetic processing.
- a plurality of such chip inductors are mounted on the main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board, and they are connected in series. Then, the midpoint of the series circuit is connected to the reference potential, and both ends of the series circuit are connected to the pair of input ends of the differential amplifier circuit. A load resistance is connected between both ends of the series circuit and the midpoint.
- the electromotive force generated by the chip inductor causes a current to flow through the load resistor, causing a voltage drop, and the corresponding signal is input to the differential amplifier circuit. Since the midpoint of the series circuit is connected to the reference potential, the potential of the midpoint does not fluctuate even if the potential of the wiring pattern is greatly displaced due to switching in the inverter. As a result, the influence of switching can be suppressed and a stable signal can be input to the differential amplifier circuit.
- the differential amplifier circuit differentially amplifies the signal input to the pair of input ends, it removes the in-phase components input to the pair of input ends and amplifies the components having different phases. Since the noise component is a common mode component, the differential amplifier circuit can amplify and output the signal component from which the noise component has been removed. Therefore, even if the current differential signal output from the chip inductor is very small, the current differential can be detected with a good signal-to-noise ratio.
- the control unit can quickly and accurately estimate the rotor position of the AC motor, so that accurate motor control with excellent responsiveness can be realized.
- the motor control device can be miniaturized as a whole. In other words, it is possible to realize accurate motor control with excellent responsiveness by providing a configuration that can directly and accurately detect the current differential value while suppressing or preventing the increase in size of the motor control device. can.
- the plurality of chip inductors are connected in series in the same direction of the electromotive force induced in each chip inductor by the change of the magnetic flux formed by the current flowing in the wiring pattern.
- the sum of the electromotive forces generated by the plurality of chip inductors can be amplified by the differential amplifier circuit, so that a large signal representing the current differentiation can be obtained.
- the variation in the characteristics of each chip inductor can be averaged to detect the current differential value more accurately.
- the total number of the plurality of chip inductors is an even number. This configuration makes it easy to configure a series circuit of a plurality of chip inductors symmetrically with a midpoint in between, so that it becomes easy to balance the inputs to the pair of input ends of the differential amplifier circuit.
- the control unit treats the output of the differential amplifier circuit as a value corresponding to the time derivative (current derivative) of the winding current of the AC motor and estimates the position of the rotor. It is configured to do.
- the time derivative value (current derivative value) of the winding current is obtained, for example, the inductance of the winding can be obtained based on this. Since the winding inductance changes periodically according to the rotor position, the rotor position can be estimated based on the winding inductance.
- the plurality of chip inductors are mounted in the same number on two opposing main surfaces of the multilayer printed circuit board.
- the chip inductors can be arranged three-dimensionally, so that the motor control device can be further miniaturized. be able to.
- the direction of the magnetic flux formed by the current flowing in the wiring pattern is opposite between one main surface side and the other main surface side of the multilayer printed circuit board.
- the magnetic flux generated outside that is, the magnetic flux not caused by the current flowing in the wiring pattern, has the same direction and the same magnitude on one main surface and the other main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board.
- the plurality of chip inductors are connected in series in the same direction of the electromotive force induced in each chip inductor by the change of the magnetic flux formed by the current flowing in the wiring pattern.
- the voltage appearing at both ends of the series circuit of the plurality of chip inductors superimposes the electromotive force generated by each chip inductor according to the change in the current flowing in the wiring pattern, and cancels the electromotive force caused by the externally generated magnetic flux. It becomes a value. In this way, the influence of the externally generated magnetic flux can be suppressed or prevented, and the current derivative can be detected.
- the plurality of chip inductors have one arrangement on one main surface of the multilayer printed circuit board and one arrangement on the other main surface facing the one main surface. be.
- one chip inductor on one main surface side and one chip inductor on the other main surface side are geometrically symmetrical with respect to the wiring pattern in which the winding current flows.
- the distance from the wiring pattern in which the winding current flows to one chip inductor on one main surface side means the total distance.

Abstract
Description
Vv=Lv・dIv (2)
Vw=Lw・dIw (3)
したがって、各相の電圧指令Vuvwと各相の電流微分値dIuvwとに基づいて、各相巻線5uvwのインダクタンスLu,Lv,Lwを算出することができる。
Lv=L0-L1cos(2(θ-2π/3)) (5)
Lw=L0-L1cos(2(θ+2π/3)) (6)
ただし、L0は、インダクタンスの一定成分であり、L1はインダクタンスの変化成分の振幅を表し、θは、ロータの電気角位置を表す。
磁束Φの大きさは電流I(相電流Iuvw)に比例するので、次式のように書き換えることができ、電流微分値dI/dtに比例する電圧出力が得られることが分かる。K′は比例定数である。
前述の回路構成では、チップインダクタL1,L2が直列に接続されているので、差動増幅回路70の出力VOは、そのゲインGを用いて、次式で表される。出力VOは、電流微分値dIuvwを表す信号である。
プリント基板40の内プリント配線層45,46を通る電流パターン51,52が1ターンの一次側巻線の役割を果たし、プリント基板40の主面41,42に実装されたチップインダクタL1,L2が二次側巻線の役割を果たし、それによって、トランスが構成されている。原理上は、1個のチップインダクタの電極間電圧を差動増幅するだけでも電流微分を検出できる。しかし、1個の小さな空芯のチップインダクタから得られる信号電圧は数mV程度の微弱な信号である。その一方で、モータ電流を制御するインバータ2は、スイッチングにより大きなノイズを発生する。したがって、ノイズの影響を受けにくくする必要がある。そのために、この実施形態では、複数個(具体的には2個)のチップインダクタL1,L2を用いている。
