BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE
INVENTION
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred
‘embodiments of the present invention, examples of which
are illustrated in the accompanying drawings
‘The configuration of the coastaat-power brushless DC
motor according tothe present invention is explained below,
Iis stator, configured of m phases, is connected to the
electronic commutator in parallel, cach phase being inde~
pendeatly wound. The rotor configured of a permanent
‘magnet has a predetermined number of polarities of 2,4, 6,
8... to meet the design of the stator. The commutation
tehcoder has 4 cylindrical shape constructed in such a manner
that a ring-shape plate is mounted on the edge of a round-
shape plate. The encoder includes a sensing region sensed by
4 photo sensor and nonsensing region, the sensing region
being formed by cutting the ring-shape plate to excite (n-b)
phases. That is, the sensing region allows a phases among
the n phases to be excited all the time.
With the photo sensor, each phase has two photo sensors
which operate in accordance withthe commutation encoder.
(One photo sensor and the other photo sensor of one phase
are placed in the angle of space between polarities of the
rotor, being separated from each other. The photo sensors of|
each phase are sequentially arranged on the angle of space
between phases, With the electronic commutator, exch coil
having multi-phases is connected to a predetermined aumber
of full H-bridge, corresponding to the numberof phases, and
teach of the 1Wo photo seasors of each phase is connected to
a half H-bridge. The electronic commutator and cach
H-bridge ate connected to power supply in parallel. Accon-
ing to the aforementioned coaiiguration, the preseat inven-
tion accomplishes the constant-power brushless DC motor
having continuous speed conversion and uniform efficiency.
FIG, Lisa block diagram of the constaot-power brushless
DC motor according to the present invention, which shows
S-phase stator, rotor, commutation encoder and control
encoder which construet the rotor (stator and rotor), con=
twoller and power supply system. For open loop operation,
the motor is controlled by only pulse width modulation
control without employing the control encoder or control
encoder logic. For closed loop operation, the control
encoder, control encoder logic and input buler logic are
compared with the pulse width modulation control logic,
performing speed control or location control with pulse
‘width modulation. The motor is controlled by only pulse
‘width modulation without using variable frequency control
fo vector conirol, resulting in easy control of motor and
simple ciscuit configuration,

FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate the sensor of S-phase
6-polarity motor. The commutation encoder and coatrol
encoder are externally fixed on one side of the shaft of the
rotor placed outside the bracket on the back of the rotor,
being rotated with the rotor, The sensor board on which the
‘photo sensors are placed is set on the circumference of the
bracket, The sensor board is adjusted to be set to allow
‘advanced commutation. The conttol encoder is coasieucted
in a manner that opeaings(or slots) are formed in desired
portions of the ring-shape plate to allow the photo sensor 0
emit pulses, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A. Here, the size of|
the teenches and partition angle between them depead on the
characteristics of speed control or location control of the
motor
FIG. 3A illustrates the wrought silicon (steel) plate (or
laminated plate) of S-phase G-polarity typed stator, con-
structed in such a manner that nareow slots are formed
between winding slots. FIG. 3B illustrates the winding ofthe
S-phase 6-polarity stator, Each of five phases is indepen=
dently wound in pacallel, being wound in parallel for each
polarity, constructing the stator. FIG. 4A illustrates a
‘6-polarty permanent magnet rotor. Referring to FIG. 4A, 8
‘bar type permaneat magne is inserted into laminated silicon
(tee) plate which is combined with the dovetail type holder
‘of non-magnetic hub, constructing the rotor. FIG. 4B illus-
trates the extemal rotor pan-cake type permanent magnet
rotor, and FIG. 4C illustrates a slip ring type electromagnet
FIGS. $A and SB illustrate the electronic commutator
cireuit of S-phase 6-polarity motor. In configuration of the
‘commutation encoder, the number of sensing regions, that is,
light emission recognition parts, is determined according 10
the following expression.
‘The sumer of sensing reginsrie number of poles of to?
‘Accordingly, the number of sensing regions inthe S-phase
6-polarity motor shown ia FIG. 8 corresponds to 3. The
‘width (angle of shaft) of sensing region is determined by the
following expression.
‘The width of seming pion eumber of polasienemumber
‘of pine) name of phase oe xsd)
‘Accordingly withthe S-phase 6-polarty motor shown in,
FIG. 8, only three phases are excited to make the angle of
shaft of sensing region 36°. Referring to FIGS. $A and $B,
PA, ,connected to OI and Q4 of half bridge whose one phase
is excited and PA, connected to Q2 and Q3 of another half
bridge whose one phase is excited are located at the same
position of different polarities. Thus, when the circuit is
clectrfied, PA, of one phase is located inthe sensing region
to emit postive pulse, turing on half bridge OY and Q4 of
FIG. $A. This make the coil electrlying, and the el looped
by OI and Q4 isexeited. While the rotor rotates, turning-on
interval of half bridge QU and QS i identical tothe width of
ihe sensing region of the commutation encoder. That is,
excitation interval of half bridge QL and O4 corresponds 10
shaft angle of 36°,
‘When the shaft angle is next 24° (60°-36°), PA; and PAs
«are placed in nonsensing region, turning off Q1, Q4, Q2 and
(03 of one-phase bal bridge. Then, PA; like as PA, turn on
Q2 and Q3 according to rotation of the commutation
encoder, 19 allow one phase to independently become
electrified, starting the rotor. The photo sensorsare set on the
sensor plate of FIG. $B, having interval of 211(number of
polaritiesxmumber of phases) (") In FIG. SB, for example,
{en photo sensors are arranged, having the interval of 12°US 6,710,581 BL

“The interval between two photo sensors of each phase
corresponds to 211 (number of polarities of roter). Thus, the
distance between PA, and PA, is 6.
‘As shown in FIGS. SA and SB, three phases are excited
but two phases ate inexcited all the time in S-phase
6-polarity motor. Accordingly, excitation interval and inex-
citation interval of each phase are determined by the fol-
lowing expressions.

‘Thus, the excitation angle and inexcitation angle of each
phase of FIG. § ate 108° and 72°, respectively.
FIG, 6 shows pulse output of each photo sensor, direction
of current input and delineation and interval of torque of
Scphase 6-polarity motor. The coil becomes electrified with
‘current having the interval identical to the pulse transmitted
by each photo sensor depending on the distance between the
sensing regions of the commutation encoder, resulting in
‘generation of torque. Thus, square and partial current wave
is inputted and power of Scheme of rectangular torque is
‘output, Accordingly, three phases are excited and two
phases are inexcited all the time in S-phase 6-polarity motor
shown in FIG. 5. Consequently, the sum total of torque
corresponds to linear torque scheme.
‘As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the number of phases of the
motor, which will be excited, depends on the distance
between the sensing regions of the commutation encoder
‘The motor of the present invention solves all problems
which occur in pole changing area, Specitially, the motor of
the present iavention is constructed in a manner that more
than one of multi-phases are not excited to produce
advanced commutation, resulting in smooth high-speed rota-
tioa,
In the process of converting electric energy into mechani
cal energy by the motor, timing that the stator coil is
electrified to be excited 10 allow active-magnetic fux to
generate magnetic motive force is delayed from timing that
passive magnetic flux of rotor which rotates in high speed is
‘operated. Accordingly, advanced commutation is required to
‘make the timings coincide with each other. FIG. 7A illus-
trates 8-phase 6-polarity motor in which only five phases are
excited and the distance corresponding to three phases
inexcited is advanced-commutated, FIG, 7B illustrates
‘S-phase 6-polarty motor in which three phases are excited
and the distance corresponding to five phases inexcited is
advanced-commutated. The motor of FIG. [Link] be rotated
faster than the motor of FIG. 7B.
Furthermore, in construction of very high-speed motor,
the commutation encoder logic performs electronic combi
ration changing for each photo seasor together with
advanced photo seasor depending on microprocessor, per-
forming gradual advanced commutation to meet a desired
speed.
HIG. 8 illustrates the relationship between torque and
speed of the constant-power brushless DC motor. As shown
in FIG. 8 the DC motor of the present invention has
cconstani-power characteristic, Furthermore, the DC motor
of the present invention has CW and CCW capability and
bidirectional operation. That is, when the commutation
encoder logic in FIGS. 1 and § performs electronic combi-
ration changing for dual photo sensors included in each
phase, the motor smoothly starts and rotates from forward
direction to reverse direction or from reverse direction to

phow sensor is carried out frequently within /1000 sec,
bidiceetional operation is easily activated. The DC motor of
the present invention also has linear motor function
Specifically, ideal linar motor can be realized when the
lator of motor is configueed of linear type and its rolor is,
consructed to operate linearly
‘According to the preseat invention, narrow slot of the
stator removes collision of magnetic Hux whieh is generated
‘when the coil of each phase is electrified, improving the
efficiency ofthe motor. Thre i no curtent loss and uniform
‘lectification is carried out when the coil isin electrified,
resulting in motoe without torque ripple and controller with
stability. Furthermore, the stator is paallel-wound by phases
tnd polarities to allow the motor Io produce a high power
Wit a low voltage. The stator's parallel winding enables
{ulomatic production of motor, reducing the cost and make
ing mass production possible.
‘Moreover, since magnetic fx is concentrated onthe rotor
seca, passive magnetic ux ofthe rotor corresponds to active
magnetic ux of the stator, realizing high-power motor using
permanent magnet rotor. The surface of the f0t0" Is
machined t0 minimize empty space, improving the ef
ciency of the motor. Because there is no limitation ia the
numberof polarity, size, shape of the rotor, long drum type
or pan-cake type motor can be designed tneestectedly for
purposes. The rotor i assembled ino the motor 16 allow
automatic production, reducing the cost and enabling mass
production
‘Meanwhile, in commutation motors, motors using full
sing wave or full square wave generate brake torque, back,
clectromotive force(EMP, reactance (Inductive reactance

ing ates, so as to bring sbout icon loss and coppet loss in the
motor, impacting the controller. Furthermore beat generates

not apply current fo the phase which is placed in pole
changing area, 0 solve the above problems, eliminating
necessity of eooling system and improving the ellicieney of
motor
‘Moreover, partial square wave maximizes ems torque
capacitance and peak torque value. Thus, the motor becomes
compact aad its ellciency is improved. Furthermore, The
conttoler does not requie cross fie prevention device, 10
Simpify its circuit with stability, improving relibility and
reducing the cost. The magnetic fx densities and perme-
ability ofthe stator and rotor ae identical hecause they are
coniigured of the same materia, silicon stel plate. Thus,
characteristic of relation between current and torque is
perfec, and characteristic of relation between current and
speed i also excellent. This allows the motor to produce
onstant-power, resulting in uniform efficiency forall speed
ranges.
“The torque of conventional motor is sinusoidal torque

‘The motor of the present invention applies partial square

to the present invention has no torque ripple and smoothly
