Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a modeling method for non-ideal commutation electromechanical coupling of brushless DC motors. Background Technology
[0002] A servo drive system is a complex electromechanical system composed of a transmission system, a motor, and a control system. It exhibits various forms of coupling, including electromechanical coupling, fluid-structure interaction, rigid-elastic coupling, and thermo-elastic coupling. Electromechanical coupling is a classic problem, characterized by the conversion of mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy. In typical servo systems, this manifests primarily as direct electromagnetic torque coupling, direct harmonic torque coupling, infinitesimal control loop coupling, and back-and-forth coupling between multiple transmission subsystems. Due to the high degree of coupling between mechanical and electromagnetic parameters, establishing an accurate electromechanical coupling model has always been a major challenge.
[0003] Currently, most scholars conduct research on motors and transmission systems separately. One group simplifies the transmission system, ignoring the effects of gear meshing stiffness and drive shaft torsional stiffness, and constructs a two-mass spring oscillator torsional vibration model directly applied to the motor rotor to study the motor's electromagnetic characteristics. This approach is relatively simple in structure and calculation, but it neglects the influence of corresponding mechanical parameters. Another group of scholars focuses on the transmission system as the primary research object, assuming the motor's electromagnetic torque is a known condition, and ignoring the fluctuations in electromagnetic torque caused by electromagnetic field disturbances due to mechanical parameters.
[0004] With the increasing demands on servo drive systems, constructing accurate electromechanical coupling models is crucial for improving the accuracy and response characteristics of these systems. Previous modeling methods failed to comprehensively consider the coupling effects of mechanical and electromagnetic parameters. In particular, for brushless DC motors, the models are often simplified to brushed DC motor models, resulting in relatively coarse models that no longer meet the needs of the evolving servo drive system landscape. Therefore, conducting in-depth electromechanical coupling model analysis is of profound significance. Summary of the Invention

[0075] This invention provides a modeling method for non-ideal commutation electromechanical coupling of brushless DC motors, the method comprising the following steps:
[0076] Step 1: Consider the electromagnetic torque fluctuations caused by the presence of inductance and irrational commutation when using the six-step commutation method to control a brushless DC motor.
[0077] See details Figure 1 As shown, the brushless DC motor is a three-phase motor, specifically including phase A, phase B and phase C, and its drive circuit adopts a three-phase star connection.
[0078] in , , Let R be the phase voltage, R be the equivalent resistance of each phase, and L be the equivalent inductance of each phase. , , It is the back electromotive force. For commutation tubes, It is a diode. The following assumptions are made regarding the motor:
[0079] 1. Three-phase symmetry, the back electromotive force is a trapezoidal wave with a flat top divided into 120 degrees; 2. Neglect the voltage drop of the switching transistor and the freewheeling diode; 3. Neglect the influence of armature reaction, cogging effect and magnetic circuit saturation; 4. The equivalent inductance of the phase winding is constant, and the rotational speed remains constant during commutation.
[0080] Initially, phases AB are conducting. When commutation begins, phase C remains conducting. The current in the phase B winding starts to rise from 0. Due to the inductance, the current in phase A cannot instantly drop to 0; instead, it decreases through freewheeling via diode VD4, which is connected in anti-parallel to V4. After a period t1, the current in phase A is 0, while the currents in phases B and C continue to increase. After a period t2, this commutation cycle ends, and the next commutation cycle begins. Specifically... Figure 2 The diagram shown illustrates the changes in three-phase currents within one commutation cycle.
[0081] The state angle corresponding to one commutation cycle is 60 degrees, and the corresponding commutation cycle is... p is the number of pole pairs, n is the motor speed (r / min), and time constant. The ratio of the commutation period to the time constant is Based on the above analysis, the reversal process can be divided into two stages.
[0082] The specific first stage is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the time from when phase A is disconnected until its phase current drops to 0 is assumed to be 1. Based on the assumption, the opposite electromotive forces at this time are:
[0083]
[0084] Where E is the back electromotive force. According to Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws:
[0085]
[0086] Considering time under normal circumstances Much smaller than the time constant To simplify, let the initial conditions be:
[0087]
[0088] get The relationship with time t is:
[0089]
[0090] when When the current in phase A drops to 0, at this time:
[0091]
[0092] exist At time t, the currents in phase B and phase C are:
[0093]
[0094] The specific second phase is as follows: Figure 4 As shown: Phase A current is 0, indicating disconnection, while phases B and C current continue to rise.
[0095] Similarly, according to Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws:
[0096]
[0097] The initial conditions are as follows:
[0098]
[0099] Solving With time The relationship is:
[0100]
[0101] make It can be known that To consider the current when only resistance is considered, then:
[0102]
[0103] when At this point, the current value is the initial condition in the first stage. ,but:
[0104]
[0105] when hour, .
[0106] Based on the above analysis, the functional relationship of phase C current within one commutation cycle T is as follows: for:
[0107]
[0108] According to the law of conservation of energy, the relationship between electromagnetic torque and phase current is as follows: According to Kirchhoff's current law:
[0109]
[0110] again , Let be the back electromotive force constant, then It can be seen that the electromagnetic torque is related to the C-phase current. Proportional. (Based on the above) The current function relationship and the electromagnetic torque function relationship over time within one commutation cycle are as follows:
[0111]
[0112] Where E is the back electromotive force and the time constant. L is the equivalent inductance of each phase of the motor, and R is the equivalent resistance of each phase of the motor. Let I be the back electromotive force constant, and I0 be the initial current. I1 represents the current in phase B and phase C at time t1, considering only the resistance.
[0113] Step 2: Considering the time-varying meshing stiffness, meshing error, meshing damping, torsional stiffness, and torsional damping of the gear, a four-degree-of-freedom gear torsional vibration model is established using the lumped coefficient method.
[0114] Specifically, such as Figure 5 The figure shows a pure torsional dynamics model of a pair of fixed-axis gears meshing.
[0115] in For time-varying meshing stiffness of gear pairs, For meshing damping, To account for meshing error, It is a gear i The rotational angular velocity. The angle of rotation of the gear. The relationship with time is as follows:
[0116]
[0117] in This represents the elastic torsional angular displacement superimposed on the rigid body's motion. The meshing force between the two gear teeth. for:
[0118]
[0119] in The nonlinear total inter-tooth clearance is generally expressed using a piecewise function. Let the total inter-tooth clearance be... ,but:
[0120]
[0121] in To account for inter-tooth deformation due to meshing error, .
[0122] The main reason for time-varying meshing stiffness is the alternating single and double tooth meshing of gear teeth. When the single-tooth meshing region alternates with the double-tooth meshing region, it causes a sudden change in meshing stiffness. Therefore, time-varying meshing stiffness is considered to be affected by rotational speed and varies with time. A changing curve.

[0130] According to Newton's second law, its dynamic equation can be expressed as:
[0131] .
[0132] in, , , , These are gear 1, gear 2, the load, and the moment of inertia of the motor rotor. , For axial torsional stiffness, , For torsional damping, This is the load torque;
[0133] Step 3: Based on the torque fluctuation and four-degree-of-freedom gear torsional vibration model, through coupling variable - electromagnetic torque By establishing the connection between the motor model and the forced vibration model of the mechanical system-gear, an electromechanical coupled dynamic model is obtained. The establishment process can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 7 As shown, the model is represented by the following equation:
