Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor testing technology, specifically to a method and system for detecting the rotation direction of the stator magnetic field of an AC motor. Background Technology

[0002] The direction of the magnetic field of the motor stator determines the direction of the motor's magnetic field. When the direction of the motor stator's magnetic field is incorrect, the direction of the motor's rotation will also be incorrect. Detecting the rotation direction of the AC motor stator's magnetic field is a routine test for AC motors. Existing technologies typically use the following methods to detect the rotation direction of the AC motor stator: First, after the motor is manufactured, power is supplied to the motor, and the direction of rotation is determined by observing the motor rotor. Second, a specific rotor is used to detect the direction of the stator's magnetic field. After the stator is manufactured, a rotor is installed into the stator using specific tooling, and then three-phase AC power is supplied to the motor. The stator rotation direction is indirectly determined by observing the direction of rotation of the rotor.

[0003] The first detection method omits the determination of stator rotation direction during the stator production stage. After the motor production process is completed, the stator rotation direction is indirectly determined by the actual rotation direction of the motor. Therefore, if an error in stator rotation direction is detected, the rework cost will increase. The second detection method has the disadvantage of inconvenient rotor installation and the need to prepare specific rotors and tooling for different stator sizes. In summary, the traditional AC motor stator rotation direction testing method has the problems of cumbersome testing process, high rework cost, and large amount of material preparation.

When current flows through the measured quanta, a magnetic field is generated inside the measured quanta. When the current on the measured quanta changes regularly, the magnetic field generated inside the measured quanta unit also changes regularly, mainly reflecting the changes in the strength of the magnetic field and the direction of the magnetic field lines.

[0007] S2. Under the excitation of a constant DC current, the strength and direction of the magnetic field at any point inside the measured quanta will remain constant. When the measured quanta change regularly under a constant DC current, the strength and direction of the magnetic field at any point inside the measured quanta will also change regularly. The magnetic field strength value can be measured by arbitrarily selecting a magnetic field measurement point.

[0008] S3. The magnetic field strength value is measured by a magnetic field sensor consisting of two magnetic field sensors with an included angle of 90°. Based on the obtained magnetic field strength value, the direction of the magnetic field at the current point can be calculated using trigonometric functions and vectors.

[0063] The transmitter of the power supply unit 3 is electrically connected to the receivers of the microcontroller unit 2 and the constant current source unit 4, respectively. The power supply unit 3 is used to supply power to the microcontroller unit 2 and to provide the constant current source unit 4 as an excitation power input. The transmitter of the constant current source unit 4 is connected to the receiver of the switching circuit unit 5. The constant current source unit 4 is used to excite the measured subunit 9 to generate a constant electromagnetic field. In this way, the device can operate for a long time through the power supply unit 3 and the constant current source unit 4.

[0064] The constant current source unit 4 injects a regularly changing current into the measured sub-unit 9. At the same time, the magnetic field data at multiple time points are acquired through the magnetic field sensing unit 8 and the acquisition circuit unit 7. Through the magnetic field rotation algorithm of the microcontroller unit 2, the magnetic field of the stator is automatically calculated to determine whether it is rotating forward, backward, or abnormal, thus realizing the ability to quickly and accurately detect the rotation direction of the stator magnetic field of the AC motor.

[0065] The input loop unit 1 includes an external input module, a signal translation module, and an internal signal output module. The external input module consists of buttons or external input devices, which transmit external input information to the signal translation module. The signal translation module receives the external input information from the external input module, translates the received external input information into an internal signal, and transmits the internal signal to the internal signal output module.

Each current acquisition module is used to acquire the current signal of each channel and transmit the current signal to the loop anomaly judgment module. The loop anomaly judgment module uses the current signal to determine whether there is an anomaly. The judgment condition is whether the current is lost or unbalanced. If there is no anomaly, the current signal is transmitted to the signal transmission module. If there is an anomaly, the current signal is transmitted to the loop protection module.

[0074] Example 2:

[0075] Please see Figure 5-12 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: when three-phase power frequency AC current passes through the measured sub-unit 9, the current change in the stator winding 16 of the measured sub-unit 9 is as follows: Figure 5As shown, to collect representative magnetic field data, time points t1, t2, and t3 were selected for magnetic field acquisition. Since the current changes rapidly at the power frequency AC point, a constant current source unit 4 and a switching circuit unit 5 were used to replace the power frequency AC current to ensure stable acquisition at time points t1, t2, and t3. A constant DC current was injected into the stator winding 16 of the measured sub-unit 9 through the switching circuit unit 5. This ensures that the magnitude and direction of the current in the stator winding remain unchanged during the energizing time, thus allowing the magnetic field to stably simulate the current state of the stator winding 16 in the measured sub-unit 9 at time points t1, t2, and t3. A bipolar and star-connected stator is used as an example. The specific circuit principle is as follows: Figure 6 Now, let's analyze the stator magnetic field at different time points. At time t1, phase u is connected to the positive terminal of constant current source unit 4, and phases v and w are connected to the negative terminal of constant current source unit 4. From this, we can obtain that iu is positive, and iv and iw are equal and negative, thus obtaining the current direction. Based on the current direction and the right-hand rule, we can plot the current magnetic field direction of the stator unit 9 being measured, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, 12 stator windings 16 are evenly distributed on the measuring subunit 9. The current direction of every 3 windings is the same. Therefore, there are four magnetic fields 11 in the measuring subunit 9 at this moment. The directions of the magnetic fields 11 are as follows: Figure 7 Similarly, at time t2, phase V is connected to the positive terminal of constant current source unit 4, and phases u and w are connected to the negative terminal of constant current source unit 4. Thus, iv is positive, and iu and iw are equal and negative, obtaining the current direction. Based on the current direction and the right-hand rule, the current magnetic field direction of the measured sub-unit 9 can be plotted. Similarly, at time t3, phase W is connected to the positive terminal of constant current source unit 4, and phases u and v are connected to the negative terminal of constant current source unit 4. Thus, iw is positive, and iu and iv are equal and negative, obtaining the current direction. Based on the current direction and the right-hand rule, the current magnetic field direction of the measured sub-unit 9 can be plotted.

[0076] Therefore, it can be concluded that under constant DC current excitation, the strength and direction of the magnetic field at any point inside the measured sub-unit 9 will remain constant. When the measured sub-unit 9 winding exhibits regular changes in constant DC current, the strength and direction of the magnetic field at any point inside the motor stator will also exhibit regular changes. Thus, in determining the rotation direction of the measured sub-unit 9, an arbitrary magnetic field measurement point can be selected, and the magnetic field strength value can be measured using two magnetic field sensing units 8 with a 90° angle between their detection surfaces. Based on the obtained magnetic field strength value, the direction of the magnetic field at the current point can be calculated using trigonometric functions and vectors. Figure 8 As shown, the magnetic field sensing unit 8 mainly consists of a vertical magnetic field sensor 12 and a horizontal magnetic field sensor 13.

[0077] Taking the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 as an example, when the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 is in a magnetic field, such as Figure 9The horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 can convert the magnetic field signal into a voltage signal. The relationship between the output voltage signal of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 and the magnetic field is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 The horizontal axis represents the current magnetic field direction and intensity, and the vertical axis represents the output voltage value of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 expressing the magnetic field intensity and direction. When there is no magnetic field around the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13, the output voltage of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 is half of the supply voltage VCC. When the magnetic field lines are transmitted from the back of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13, the output voltage of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 is greater than a certain value of the supply voltage VCC. The magnitude of the value is positively correlated with the magnetic field intensity and the perpendicularity of the magnetic field lines to the detection surface of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13. When the magnetic field lines are transmitted from the front of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13, the output voltage of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 is less than a certain value of the supply voltage VCC. The magnitude of the value is negatively correlated with the magnetic field intensity and the perpendicularity of the magnetic field lines to the detection surface of the magnetic field sensing unit 8.

[0078] The magnitude of the detected value of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13 is related to the magnetic field strength and the perpendicularity of the magnetic field lines to the detection surface of the horizontal magnetic field sensor 13. To obtain the direction data of the magnetic field lines, this invention employs two magnetic field sensors placed at a 90° angle to each other at the measurement point, forming a magnetic field sensing unit 8. Simultaneously, the magnetic field data at this point is collected, yielding magnetic field strength A and magnetic field strength B. Then, magnetic field strength A and magnetic field strength B are represented by vectors, and their combined vector AB14 is obtained. This combined vector AB14 contains both magnetic field strength and direction data. When three-phase alternating current is applied to the measured subunit 9, an alternating magnetic field is generated internally, and the magnetic field strength changes in a sinusoidal pattern. Since the two magnetic field sensors are placed at a 90° angle in space, the waveforms of the magnetic field strength detected by each sensor also exhibit a 90° phase angle, such as... Figure 11 , Figure 11 The horizontal axis represents time t, and the vertical axis represents the processed output voltage value VL of the magnetic field sensor. The output voltage value VL expresses the magnetic field strength. Figure 11 Taking five time points t1, t2, t3, t4, and t5, the intensity values ​​of the two magnetic field sensors at these points are expressed as vectors. Here, it is agreed that magnetic field intensity A is expressed on the vertical axis and magnetic field intensity B is expressed on the horizontal axis. Thus, a plot is drawn. Figure 11 In the vectors AB_t1, AB_t2, AB_t3, AB_t4, and AB_t5, each vector represents the direction and intensity of the magnetic field at the current moment and point. Figure 12 By placing the first segments of the five sets of vectors together, the change pattern of the magnetic field direction at different times can be reflected, and the rotation direction of the magnetic field can be obtained as clockwise.

[0079] In actual use, the magnetic field sensing unit 8 is installed in a cylinder and placed at any position inside the measured subunit 9. Obviously, the obtained magnetic field strength value is not as ideal as all the values ​​derived in the theoretical derivation above. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the angle of the magnetic field under different excitation currents by using the magnetic field rotation algorithm.

[0080] The specific algorithm for magnetic field rotation is as follows: Let the static value V of the two magnetic field sensing units 8 be... be The magnetic field strength values ​​measured after placing the energized stator were V. AC V BC First, V AC V BC Subtract the static value V respectively be This yields the magnetic field value V, which reflects the direction of the magnetic field. A V B Subsequently, according to V A V B The sign relationship between the positive and negative values ​​determines the quadrant of the coordinate system in which the vector lies, and then the magnetic field direction angle ∠T1 is calculated according to the following formula:

[0081] When V A >0&&V B When ∠T1 > 0 and ∠T1 is in the first quadrant: ∠T1 = arctan(V A / V B )*180 / π;

[0082] When V A >0&&V B When <0, ∠T1 is in the second quadrant: ∠T1=arctan(abs(V B ) / abs(V A ))*180 / PI+90;

[0083] When V A <0&&V B When <0, ∠T1 is in the third quadrant: ∠T1=arctan(abs(V A ) / abs(V B ))*180 / PI+180;

[0084] When V A <0&&V B >0, when ∠T1 is in the fourth quadrant: ∠T1=arctan(abs(V B ) / abs(V A ))*180 / PI+270;

[0085] When V A =0&&V B When ∠T1 > 0, and ∠T1 is in the first quadrant: ∠T1 = 0;

[0086] When V A >0&&V B =0, ∠T1 in the second quadrant: ∠T1 = 90;

[0087] When V A =0&&V B When ∠T1 < 0 and ∠T1 is in the third quadrant: ∠T1 = 180°;

[0088] When V A <0&&V B =0, when ∠T1 is in the fourth quadrant: ∠T1 = 270;

[0089] Similarly, when the direction of the excitation current of the measured subunit 9 changes according to the predetermined current, the magnetic field strength and direction at the magnetic field measurement point also change. Therefore, according to the above formula, the current magnetic field angle ∠T2 can be calculated. The rotation direction of the magnetic field can be obtained from the angle between ∠T1 and ∠T2. The calculation method for the rotation direction of the magnetic field is as follows:

[0090] ∠T = ∠T1 - ∠T2;

[0091] If ∠T>0, then when ∠T<180°, the magnetic field rotates in the forward direction, and when ∠T>180°, the magnetic field rotates in the reverse direction. If ∠T<0, then when ∠T>180°, the magnetic field rotates in the reverse direction, and when ∠T>180°, the magnetic field rotates in the forward direction.

[0092] Thus, by measuring the current change of subunit 9 twice, the two magnetic field direction change angles can be obtained. Then, the magnetic field rotation direction change can be obtained based on the angles. In the actual device, the current of subunit 9 will change three times to collect three magnetic field direction data. Through data redundancy, a more accurate measurement conclusion can be obtained.
