    • A brushless DC motor modifies motor commutation events to reduce noise by providing overlapping activation of the switch being deactivated with the switch being newly activated so that three switches are temporarily activated. The newly activated switch is pulse width modulated with a motor torque controlling duty cycle, and the switch being deactivated is pulse width modulated synchronously with the newly activated switch but with a duty cycle decreasing from the torque controlling duty cycle. The decreasing modulation of the switch being deactivated allows a slower current decrease in the phase turning off to reduce or eliminate the disturbances, and thus the noise. The decreasing modulation is preferably exponential in manner, with a time constant varying inversely with motor speed so that the duty cycle reaches a predetermined minimum in a predetermined maximum number of motor electrical degrees. The decreasing modulation may be switched on at low motor speeds where its noise reduction is required and switched off at higher motor speeds where the potential for interference with commutation is greater. The decreasing modulation is applicable in a dual switching mode in which each activated switch, except for the switch being deactivated in commutation, is pulse width modulated at the torque controlling duty cycle, or in a modified single switching mode in which the activated switch of one of the upper or lower groups is always closed continuously during its activation, except for commutation, during which the switch remaining on, which alternates between the groups, is closed continuously. Each mode of operation is applied in the motor speed/torque region to which it is best suited.
    • 无刷直流电动机通过在开关被新激活的情况下通过提供交换机的重叠激活来改变电动机换向事件以减少噪声,从而使三个开关暂时被激活。 新启动的开关通过电机转矩控制占空比进行脉冲宽度调制,并且禁用的开关与新启动的开关同步脉宽调制,但占空比从转矩控制占空比下降。 开关减小的调制被禁用允许相位关断中的较慢的电流减小以减少或消除干扰,从而减少噪声。 减小的调制优选地是指数方式,其中时间常数与电动机速度成反比变化,使得占空比在预定的最大数量的电动机电度中达到预定的最小值。 降低的调制可以在需要减少噪声的低电机速度下接通,并且在更换电机的电机速度更高的情况下关闭。 减小的调制适用于双重切换模式,其中除了开关在换向中被禁用之外,每个被激活的开关在扭矩控制占空比下进行脉宽调制,或者在修改的单次切换模式中,其中一个 上,下组在其激活期间总是被连续地闭合,除了换向之外,在组中之间交替存在的开关被连续地闭合。 每种操作模式都适用于最适合的电机速度/转矩区域。

    • A vehicle power steering system uses an electric motor to drive a pump at a variable speed to provide power steering fluid at a variable flow for power assist to operator steering efforts. The system has a speed control for the electric motor which derives a command speed signal from a power steering load signal, senses motor speed and controls electric power to the motor in response thereto to vary the speed of the electric motor in the direction of the command speed signal. In a switching region of the power steering fluid pressure signal, the speed control switches between a low speed for standby operation and a higher speed to supply the power steering operation demands. The speed control modifies the switch-point load value in response to the power steering fluid temperature sensor to compensate for temperature dependent losses. Separate switch-points are preferably provided for increasing and decreasing power steering load to provide hysteresis; and both switch-points are preferably compensated.

    • An electric motor actuator used in an environment of varying loads for varying time periods is efficiently designed to a predetermined specification in terms of both motor load and time and operated up to but not exceeding this specification over the full expected operating range. A motor load signal is low pass filtered with a plurality of time constants spanning a range of expected motor operation to generate a plurality of filtered motor load signals each associated with one of the time constants. Each of these filtered motor load signals is compared with a predetermined reference value corresponding to the associated time constant. If one or more of the filtered motor load signals exceeds the predetermined reference value with which it is compared, the one that so exceeds by the greatest margin is selected. A command current limit factor is derived from the selected filtered motor load signal and used to limit the commanded motor current. The motor load signal preferably indicates motor operating current and may be derived from a motor current sensor or from the limited command current signal, motor speed and operating voltage to compensate for a decrease of current with motor speed due to inductance/slope compensation and voltage limit effects.

    • An electric power steering control for a motor vehicle reduces motor torque ripple and road generated disturbances communicated to the vehicle handwheel while promoting system stability. In deriving an output command torque signal to the EPS motor, the control (1) derives an electric motor speed signal, (2) differentiates the electric motor speed signal, (3) stores a schedule of gain as an increasing function of electric motor torque, (4) modifies the differentiated estimated electric motor speed signal in response to the gain to provide a damping correction value and (5) derives the output command signal responsive to the damping correction. In a preferred embodiment, the control (1) stores power assist torque data as a function of handwheel torque and vehicle velocity, (2) provides a vehicle velocity signal, (3) provides a handwheel torque signal, (4) modifies the handwheel torque signal in response to the damping correction value, (5) derives a power assist torque value from the stored power assist torque data in response to the vehicle velocity signal and the modified handwheel torque signal and (6) derives the output command signal from the power assist torque value. The control may use an electric motor voltage signal as an estimate of electric motor speed and, for high torque loads, may use the pulse on-time parameter in a pulse width modulated, current switching control to represent the voltage of the controlled electric motor, and therefore the estimate of electric motor speed, so that no additional sensor is needed. The control may use separate stored relationships between the pulse width on-time and electric motor voltage for different commutation modes of the pulse width modulated, current switching control.
