Abstract

The invention proposes a method for heating of robots in cold environments, whereby the robot possesses permanent magnet brushless or three-phase synchronous motors (1) with three motor phases comprising three stator coils (L1, L2, L3) connected to an inverter (3) controllable by a control-unit (4) and with a rotor with permanent magnet excitation (2). A current is applied to at least one phase respectively stator coil (L1, L2, L3) of the motor (1) if the motor stands still creating a directed magnetic flux (phi) which interacts with the permanent magnets of the rotor in such a way that the resulting torque will be close to zero. Further the invention proposes a system for heating of robots in cold environments whereby the inverters (3) and motors (1) in standstill are used to heat up the critical drive train components, where by at least one supervisory-control-unit (5) monitors the motor temperature in order to avoid overheating.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for heating a robot in a cold environment, especially an industrial robot, the robot of the invention has a permanent magnet brushless or three-phase synchronous motor with a motor comprising three stator coils The three-phase winding of the rotor and the rotor with permanent magnet excitation, where the three stator coils are connected with the inverter (inverter) which can be controlled by the control unit. Background technique [0002] Today, robots can only operate within a temperature range of approximately +5°C to 50°C. In a cold environment such as a refrigerator or in an outdoor environment, the temperature can be as low as eg -20°C to -30°C, which limits the use of industrial robots. The temperature range of today's standard industrial robots is mainly limited by the joint bearing seals and the lubricant of the gears. In order for the robot to operate at temperatures below +5°C, the gear a...
