Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of consumer electronics technology, specifically to a method for motor stall protection. Background Technology
[0002] Consumer electronics products are specific types of household appliances containing electronic components. They are typically used for entertainment, communication, and document processing, such as telephones, audio-visual educational materials, televisions, DVD players, and even electronic clocks. The electronic components in consumer electronics also include motors, which are electromagnetic devices that convert or transmit electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. They primarily utilize a energized coil to generate a rotating magnetic field, which acts on a rotor to create magnetoelectric torque.
[0003] In existing technology, a motor drives a shaft to rotate via a reduction gearbox. The shaft is only allowed to rotate a certain angle, limited by a limit point. When the shaft reaches its maximum angle, it stops rotating because it is stopped by the limit point. The motor is also forced to stop rotating, but it remains energized, causing an increase in current and generating significant heat. Prolonged exposure to this heat will damage the motor. Furthermore, when the maximum rotation angle is reached, the motor stops abruptly due to the limit point, and the resulting impact can damage the reduction gearbox.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a method for motor stall protection. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for protecting a motor from stall, thereby resolving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a motor stall protection method, which detects the motor current based on a detection circuit and provides stall protection for the motor based on the detected current. The motor stall protection method includes the following specific steps:
[0007] S1. Use the detection circuit to measure the current diagram of the motor during operation, and draw a table corresponding to the current and speed.
[0008] S2. Determine the desired effect of motor stall protection;
[0009] S3. Set the motor's full-speed fixed running time to 350ms;
[0010] S4. After running at full speed for 350ms, the power supply to the motor is stopped to slow down the motor.
[0011] S5. After 100ms, the power supply to the motor is restored, and the current of the motor is detected by the detection circuit to determine whether to stop the power supply to the motor.
[0012] S6. After the power supply is stopped, the power supply to the motor will be restored after 100ms.
[0013] S7. Based on the detection circuit, if the current is greater than 200mA, continue to supply power to the motor if it is less than 200mA;
[0014] S8. When the detected current is greater than 200mA, the motor rotates to the stall position, the power supply to the motor is stopped, and the whole process is completed.
[0015] To further optimize this technical solution, the detection circuit includes an ADC current detection module and a detection resistor. The detection resistor is connected in series with the motor, and the ADC current detection module is connected in parallel between the motor and the detection resistor.
[0016] To further optimize this technical solution, the detection circuit is used to measure the current flowing through the motor, the resistance value of the detection resistor is 1Ω, and the detection circuit measures the current diagram when the motor is running.
[0017] To further optimize this technical solution, the drawing of the current-speed correspondence table in step S1 includes the following process: using a detection circuit to measure the current diagram of the motor during operation, and combining it with the motor's specifications and the actual test results of the detection circuit, a current-speed correspondence table is obtained.
[0018] To further optimize this technical solution, the actual test is used to test the total time from the starting point to the stall impact position of the motor. The total time from the starting point to the stall impact position of the motor is 450ms, and the corresponding current is 200mA.
[0019] To further optimize this technical solution, in step S2, the desired effect is that when the motor rotates to the stall impact position, the motor collides at a speed of 50 r / min, and the corresponding current is 130mA, which is used to reduce damage to the gearbox.
[0020] To further optimize this technical solution, in step S3, the motor runs at full speed for 350ms to ensure that the motor has not reached the stall impact position and is at a distance from the stall impact position.
[0021] To further optimize this technical solution, in step S5, when the detection circuit detects that the current is lower than 130mA corresponding to 50r / min, that is, when the motor speed exceeds the set desired effect, the power supply to the motor is stopped again.

The detection circuit is used to measure the magnitude of the current flowing through the motor. The resistance value of the detection resistor is 1Ω, and the detection circuit obtains the current diagram of the motor during operation.
[0031] The motor stall protection method includes the following specific steps:
[0032] S1. Use the detection circuit to measure the current diagram of the motor during operation and draw a table corresponding to the current and speed.
[0033] In this embodiment, the drawing of the current-speed correspondence table in step S1 includes the following process: using a detection circuit to measure the current diagram of the motor during operation, the current diagram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, based on the motor's specifications and the actual test results of the detection circuit, a current-speed correspondence table is obtained.
[0034] According to actual test results, the total time for the motor to rotate from the starting point to the stall impact position is 450ms.
[0035] Furthermore, the corresponding table for the current and rotational speed is shown in Table 1 below:
[0036] Current mA 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 Rotational speed (r / min) 250 200 150 100 80 70 60 50
[0037] S2. Determine the desired effect of motor stall protection.

[0041] S4. After running at full speed for 350ms, the power supply to the motor is stopped to slow down the motor.
[0042] S5. After 100ms, the power supply to the motor is restored, and the current of the motor is detected by the detection circuit to determine whether to stop the power supply to the motor.
[0043] Furthermore, in step S5, when the detection circuit detects that the current is lower than 130mA corresponding to 50r / min, that is, when the motor speed exceeds the set desired effect, the power supply to the motor is stopped again.
[0044] S6. After the power supply is stopped, the power supply to the motor will be restored after 100ms.
[0045] S7. The detection circuit detects whether the current is greater than 200mA. If it is less than 200mA, the power supply to the motor continues.
[0046] S8. When the detected current is greater than 200mA, the motor rotates to the stall position, the power supply to the motor is stopped, and the whole process is completed.
[0047] This method involves designing a circuit to detect the magnitude of the motor current, determining the current speed of the motor based on the current magnitude, and reducing the impact force by decreasing the speed, thereby protecting the motor from damage.
[0048] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
