Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a home appliance and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] In household appliances, permanent magnet synchronous motors need to operate at high speeds, such as 16,000 rpm or higher, to meet the operational requirements. However, under normal bus voltage, the voltage demand of a permanent magnet synchronous motor cannot be met when it operates at high speed. Therefore, field weakening control is implemented, increasing the reluctance torque to reduce the voltage demand and allow the motor to reach the required speed.

[0003] Currently, when controlling the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), methods such as voltage loop field weakening or lead angle field weakening control the reluctance current and permanent magnet current through voltage loop or current control angle. With adaptive loop design, a relatively fast response can be achieved. However, as the speed increases, the current increases to a certain extent, and due to the limitation of permanent magnet torque output, it cannot continue to weaken the field further. This prevents the PMSM speed from increasing further, failing to meet the high-speed operation requirements of household appliances such as washing machines. Using a single current loop field weakening, the reluctance current is directly controlled through the speed loop, achieving a deeper level of field weakening. However, the speed loop is significantly affected by the observer, resulting in a slow response and poor timeliness, failing to meet the main controller's requirements for rapid changes in PMSM speed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a household appliance that enables a permanent magnet synchronous motor to respond quickly within a preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness, and enables the permanent magnet synchronous motor to further weaken the field when the field weakening exceeds the preset phase current threshold during the second field weakening control, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the demand for higher speeds.

[0006] Therefore, a second objective of this invention is to provide a method for controlling household appliances.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a household appliance comprising: a housing; a permanent magnet synchronous motor disposed within the housing for controlling the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor based on a DC input voltage; and a controller configured to: acquire the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor; determine whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the conditions for field weakening control; and, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the conditions for field weakening control, control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch between first field weakening control and second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and a preset phase current threshold.

[0008] According to the home appliance of the present invention, the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is obtained, and it is determined whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions. When the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is controlled to perform field weakening control. Based on the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the preset phase current threshold, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is controlled to adaptively switch between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor can further weaken the field even when the limit of the preset phase current threshold is exceeded, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the demand for higher speeds.

[0009] In some embodiments, before controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch between first field weakening control and second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and a preset phase current threshold, the controller is further configured to control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to perform first field weakening control.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor switches between a first field weakening control and a second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude and a preset phase current threshold, the controller is configured to: control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch to the first field weakening control or maintain it in the first field weakening control when the actual phase current amplitude is less than the first preset phase current threshold; and control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch to the second field weakening control or maintain it in the second field weakening control when the actual phase current amplitude is greater than the second preset phase current threshold, wherein the first preset phase current threshold is less than the second preset phase current threshold.

[0011] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: when the actual phase current amplitude is between the first preset phase current threshold and the second preset phase current threshold, if the permanent magnet synchronous motor is under the first field weakening control, then control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to maintain under the first field weakening control; when the actual phase current amplitude is between the first preset phase current threshold and the second preset phase current threshold, if the permanent magnet synchronous motor is under the second field weakening control, then control the permanent magnet synchronous motor to maintain under the second field weakening control.

[0012] In some embodiments, when controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch to the first field weakening control or to remain in the first field weakening control, the controller is configured to: calculate the voltage difference between the voltage vector amplitude and the target voltage value; and adjust the excitation current value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor according to the voltage difference.

[0013] In some embodiments, when controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch to the second field weakening control or to remain in the second field weakening control, the controller is further configured to: calculate the speed difference between the actual speed and the target speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor; and adjust the excitation current value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor according to the speed difference.

[0014] In some embodiments, before obtaining the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, the controller is further configured to perform low-pass filtering and / or averaging on the actual phase current amplitude.

[0015] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the controller is further configured to: acquire the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor; and when the voltage vector amplitude exceeds the target voltage value, determine that the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions.

[0016] In some embodiments, before the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the controller is configured to: acquire field weakening control parameters and bus voltage values; and determine the target voltage value based on the bus voltage value and the field weakening control parameters.

[0017] In some embodiments, when determining the target voltage value based on the bus voltage value and the field weakening control parameters, the controller is configured to: calculate the product of the bus voltage value and the field weakening control parameters, and use half of the product as the target voltage value.

[0018] In some embodiments, the home appliance includes at least one of an air conditioner, a washing machine, and a refrigerator.

[0019] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for a household appliance, the method comprising: acquiring the actual phase current amplitude of a permanent magnet synchronous motor; determining whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the conditions for field weakening control; and when the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the conditions for field weakening control, controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor to switch between a first field weakening control and a second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and a preset phase current threshold.

[0020] According to the control method of the home appliance of the present invention, the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is obtained, and it is determined whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions. When the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is controlled to perform field weakening control. The permanent magnet synchronous motor is adaptively switched between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control according to the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the preset phase current threshold. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor can further weaken the field when the limit of the preset phase current threshold is exceeded, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the demand for higher speed.

[0031] Figure label: Household appliance 1;

[0032] Housing 11; Permanent magnet synchronous motor 12; Controller 13. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1-7 The following is an example of a household appliance 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the household appliance 1 of this embodiment includes: a housing 11, a permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, and a controller 13, wherein,

[0036] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is housed within the housing 11 and is used to control the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 according to the DC input voltage. The controller 13 is configured to: acquire the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12; determine whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions; and when the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch between shallow field weakening control and deep field weakening control according to the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and the preset phase current threshold.

[0037] Among them, the first field weakening control is shallow field weakening control, such as voltage loop field weakening control, and the second field weakening control is deep field weakening control, such as current loop field weakening control. When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is controlled to adaptively switch between shallow field weakening control and deep field weakening control according to the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, thereby meeting the requirements of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 for speed and response speed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the controller 13 acquires the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the conditions for field weakening control. For example, it determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the conditions for field weakening control based on the relationship between the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and the target voltage value; or it determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the conditions for field weakening control based on the relationship between the ratio of the output voltage value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to the bus voltage value and the set value. The output voltage value is the quadrature axis voltage value and the direct axis voltage value.

[0039] When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions based on the above information, the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform field weakening control. By controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform field weakening control, the controller can adaptively switch between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control based on the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and the preset phase current threshold.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a switching field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch between first field weakening control and second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and a preset phase current threshold. For example, when the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is less than the first preset phase current threshold, for example, I... s <I s1 When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is switched to the first field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 performs the first field weakening control. During the first field weakening control, the response of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is fast, but its timeliness is poor. When the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is greater than the second preset phase current threshold, for example, I... s >I s2 When it is considered that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 has a high speed requirement, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is controlled to switch to the second field weakening control to ensure that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can further weaken the field under the extreme condition of exceeding the preset phase current threshold, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and meeting the higher speed requirement.

[0041] According to the present invention, the household appliance 1 obtains the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions. When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is controlled to perform field weakening control. Based on the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and the preset phase current threshold, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is controlled to adaptively switch between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can further weaken the field even when the limit exceeds the preset phase current threshold, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and meeting the demand for higher speeds.

[0042] In some embodiments, before controlling the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control according to the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and the preset phase current threshold, the controller 13 is further configured to control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform the first field weakening control.

[0043] In this embodiment, before the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch between shallow field weakening control and deep field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude and the preset phase current threshold, the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform the first field weakening control, i.e., shallow field weakening control, so that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can respond quickly when low speed is required, thereby improving the timeliness of the home appliance 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 switches between first field weakening control and second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude and preset phase current threshold of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, the controller 13 is configured to: control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch to the first field weakening control or maintain the first field weakening control when the actual phase current amplitude is less than the first preset phase current threshold; and control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch to the second field weakening control or maintain the second field weakening control when the actual phase current amplitude is greater than the second preset phase current threshold, wherein the first preset phase current threshold is less than the second preset phase current threshold.

[0045] In an embodiment, such as Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic of a permanent magnet synchronous motor switching field weakening control according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the actual phase current amplitude is less than a first preset phase current threshold, for example denoted as I... s1 When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is switched to the first field weakening control (i.e., shallow field weakening control) or maintained in the first field weakening control (i.e., shallow field weakening control), it ensures that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can respond quickly under normal speed conditions; when the actual phase current amplitude is greater than the second preset phase current threshold, for example denoted as I... s2When the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is switched to the second field weakening control (i.e., deep field weakening control) or maintained in the second field weakening control (i.e., deep field weakening control), it ensures that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can further weaken the field under extreme conditions, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12. A first preset phase current threshold I is set. s1 Less than the second preset phase current threshold I s2 This achieves hysteresis control of the preset phase current threshold, so as to avoid the first preset phase current threshold I s1 Second preset phase current threshold I s2 If the difference is too small, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 will switch back and forth between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control during field weakening control, resulting in the problem of unstable field weakening control. In order to enable the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform adaptive and stable switching between dual field weakening modes, namely shallow field weakening and deep field weakening, under different speed conditions, the main controller's requirements for rapid changes in the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 are met.

[0046] In some embodiments, the controller 13 is further configured to: when the actual phase current amplitude is between the first preset phase current threshold and the second preset phase current threshold, if the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is under first field weakening control, then control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to maintain under first field weakening control; when the actual phase current amplitude is between the first preset phase current threshold and the second preset phase current threshold, if the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is under second field weakening control, then control the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to maintain under second field weakening control.

[0047] In an embodiment, such as Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic of a permanent magnet synchronous motor switching field weakening control according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the actual phase current amplitude is at the first preset phase current threshold I... s1 Second preset phase current threshold I s2 If the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is under first field weakening control (i.e., shallow field weakening control), then the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to maintain the first field weakening control (i.e., shallow field weakening control); when the actual phase current amplitude is at the first preset phase current threshold I... s1 Second preset phase current threshold I s2 If the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is in the second field weakening mode, i.e., deep field weakening control, then the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is controlled to maintain the second field weakening mode, i.e., deep field weakening control. This further reduces the problem of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 switching back and forth between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control, which leads to the instability of field weakening control. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to perform adaptive and stable switching between dual field weakening modes, i.e., shallow field weakening and deep field weakening, under different speed conditions, so as to meet the main controller's requirements for rapid changes in the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is switched to the first field weakening control or maintained in the first field weakening control, the controller 13 is configured to: calculate the voltage difference between the voltage vector magnitude and the target voltage value; and adjust the excitation current value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 according to the voltage difference.

[0049] In an embodiment, such as Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates a first field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Taking voltage loop field weakening as an example, when the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch to the first field weakening (i.e., shallow field weakening control) or maintain the first field weakening (i.e., shallow field weakening control), it calculates the voltage difference between the voltage vector amplitude and the target voltage value, and adjusts the excitation current value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 according to the voltage difference between the voltage vector amplitude and the target voltage value. The direct-axis voltage is, for example, denoted as V. d * And the quadrature-axis voltage, for example, denoted as V q * And calculate the direct-axis voltage V. d * and quadrature axis voltage V d * The root mean square (RMS) is used as the magnitude of the voltage vector, for example, denoted as V. s That is, voltage vector magnitude V s The calculation formula is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] Determine the voltage vector magnitude V s Then, calculate the voltage vector magnitude V. s The voltage difference from the target voltage value is used to adjust the excitation current I of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 via a PI (proportional-integral) controller or an integral controller. d * This controls the voltage vector amplitude V. s Within the limits of the bus voltage tolerance, ensure the normal operation of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 is switched to the second field weakening control or maintained in the second field weakening control, the controller 13 is further configured to: calculate the speed difference between the actual speed and the target speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12; and adjust the excitation current value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 according to the speed difference.

[0053] In an embodiment, such as Figure 5The diagram shown illustrates a second field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Taking single-current-loop field weakening as an example, when the controller 13 controls the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to switch to or maintain the second field weakening control, the actual rotational speed ω is calculated. Λ With the target rotational speed ω * The speed difference is used to control the excitation current of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12. Specifically, the current command after torque conversion from the speed loop is used as the excitation current command for the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, and the excitation current value I is adjusted accordingly. d * The adjustment. The torque current, for example, is denoted as I. q * And the excitation current, for example, denoted as I d * Torque current I q * and excitation current I d * The root mean square (RMS) is used as the phase current limiting amplitude, for example, denoted as I. slim * That is, the phase current limiting amplitude I slim * The calculation formula is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] Therefore, the torque current I q * By current limiting value I slim * and excitation current I d * It changes with the change of excitation current I d * Adjust according to changes.

[0056] Obtain the excitation current I d * and torque current I q * Then, based on the excitation current I d * and I d Perform PI control and adjust according to the torque current I. q * and I qPI control is performed, followed by decoupling control. After decoupling control, the corresponding quadrature-axis voltage value and direct-axis voltage value are obtained. By changing the angle of the quadrature-axis voltage value and direct-axis voltage value, the voltage value at the corresponding coordinate angle is obtained. The three-phase voltage is obtained by changing the above voltage values ​​accordingly. The motor is controlled accordingly based on the above three-phase output voltage. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor can further weaken the field when the limit of the preset phase current threshold is exceeded, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the requirements of higher speed.

[0057] In some embodiments, before obtaining the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, the controller 13 is further configured to perform low-pass filtering and / or averaging on the actual phase current amplitude.

[0058] In an embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, before obtaining the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, the controller 13 performs low-pass filtering and / or averaging on the actual phase current amplitude to obtain the processed actual phase current amplitude, for example, denoted as I. smean * This is to ensure the stability of the actual phase current amplitude obtained by the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12.

[0059] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, the controller 13 is further configured to: acquire the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12; and determine that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions when the voltage vector amplitude exceeds the target voltage value.

[0060] In this embodiment, the controller 13 acquires the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12, determines the relationship between the voltage vector amplitude and the target voltage value, and considers that the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 exceeds the bus voltage value when the voltage vector amplitude exceeds the target voltage value. That is, the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 exceeds the modulation limit range that the bus voltage can withstand, and then determines that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions.

[0061] In some embodiments, before the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, the controller 13 is configured to: acquire field weakening control parameters and bus voltage values; and determine the target voltage value based on the bus voltage values ​​and field weakening control parameters.

[0062] In an embodiment, such as Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the first field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Before the controller 13 determines that the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 meets the field weakening control conditions, it acquires field weakening control parameters, for example, denoted as K. fwAnd the bus voltage value, for example, denoted as V dc So as to control the field weakening parameter K fw and bus voltage value V dc Determine the target voltage value.

[0063] In some embodiments, when determining the target voltage value based on the bus voltage value and the field weakening control parameters, the controller 13 is configured to: calculate the product of the bus voltage value and the field weakening control parameters, and use half of the product as the target voltage value.

[0064] In an embodiment, such as Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the first field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The controller 13 acquires the field weakening control parameter K. fw and bus voltage value V dc Then, calculate the bus voltage value V. dc With field weakening control parameter K fw The product of V and V is used, and half of the product is taken as the target voltage value. Therefore, the formula for calculating the target voltage value is: V dc ×K fw / 2, in order to determine the modulation limit range that the bus voltage can withstand.

[0065] In some embodiments, the home appliance 1 includes at least one of an air conditioner, a washing machine, and a refrigerator.

This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 can further weaken the field even when the limit exceeds the preset phase current threshold, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 12 and meeting the demand for higher speeds.

[0093] In this embodiment, the controller acquires the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0094] Step S2: Determine whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the conditions for field weakening control.

[0095] In this embodiment, the controller determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions. For example, the controller determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions based on the relationship between the voltage vector amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the target voltage value; or the controller determines whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions based on the relationship between the ratio of the output voltage value of the permanent magnet synchronous motor to the bus voltage value and the set value, wherein the output voltage value is the quadrature axis voltage value and the direct axis voltage value.

[0096] Step S3: When the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is controlled to switch between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control according to the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the preset phase current threshold.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) meets the conditions for field weakening control, the controller controls the PMSM to perform field weakening control. The PMSM, housed within a housing, is used to control its speed based on the DC input voltage. By controlling the PMSM for field weakening control, the controller can adaptively switch between a first field weakening control and a second field weakening control based on the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude and a preset phase current threshold. The first field weakening control is a shallow field weakening control, such as voltage loop field weakening control, while the second field weakening control is a deep field weakening control, such as current loop field weakening control. When the PMSM meets the field weakening control conditions, the controller adaptively switches between shallow and deep field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude, thereby satisfying the PMSM's requirements for speed and response speed.

[0098] For example, such as Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the switching field weakening control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The controller switches the permanent magnet synchronous motor between first field weakening control and second field weakening control based on the actual phase current amplitude and a preset phase current threshold. For example, when the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is less than the first preset phase current threshold, for example, I... s <I s1 When the permanent magnet synchronous motor is switched to the first field weakening control, it undergoes first field weakening control. During this first field weakening control, the response is fast, but the timeliness is poor. When the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor exceeds the second preset phase current threshold, for example, I... s >I s2 When it is assumed that the permanent magnet synchronous motor has a high speed requirement, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is switched to the second field weakening control to ensure that the permanent magnet synchronous motor can further weaken the field when the limit of the preset phase current threshold is exceeded, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the higher speed requirement.

[0099] According to the control method of the home appliance of the present invention, the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is obtained, and it is determined whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions. When the permanent magnet synchronous motor meets the field weakening control conditions, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is controlled to perform field weakening control. The permanent magnet synchronous motor is adaptively switched between the first field weakening control and the second field weakening control according to the relationship between the actual phase current amplitude of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the preset phase current threshold. This allows the permanent magnet synchronous motor to respond quickly within the preset phase current threshold during the first field weakening control, with good timeliness. During the second field weakening control, the permanent magnet synchronous motor can further weaken the field when the limit of the preset phase current threshold is exceeded, thereby increasing the speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and meeting the demand for higher speed.
