The control circuit can be arranged in the electric control box.

[0087] In a conventional general-purpose frequency converter, the working principle of the conventional general-purpose controller 71 is as follows: the structure of the controller 71 is specifically as follows: the grid voltage is converted into direct current through an uncontrollable rectifier bridge composed of diodes, and is filtered and stabilized under the action of a large electrolytic capacitor C on the DC bus. The filtered and stabilized direct current is converted into an alternating current with adjustable frequency and voltage through an inverter to start and operate the power supply machine. The three-phase inverter bridge is composed of six power switching devices IGBT with six parallel freewheeling diodes to form six bridge arms, wherein the power switching devices V1 and V4 form the upper and lower bridge arms, the power switching devices V3 and V6 form the upper and lower bridge arms, and the power switching devices V5 and V2 form the upper and lower bridge arms.

[0088] During the dehydration process of the washing machine, the rotor of the servo motor runs at high speed, and the stator coil inside the servo motor is cut to generate back electromotive force.

[0089] During the deceleration and shutdown process of the servo motor, if the speed of the servo motor decreases too quickly, the servo motor will be equivalent to the generator state. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through the servo motor and flows to the DC bus through the three-phase inverter bridge. Since the diode rectifier bridge conducts unidirectionally, the electrical energy cannot be fed back to the power grid, resulting in an increase in the DC bus voltage. In severe cases, overvoltage damage may be caused to electrical components such as filter capacitors, rectifier bridges, and inverters. If the motor speed decreases too slowly, the increase in the DC bus voltage can be suppressed, but it will cause the deceleration and shutdown time to be too long.

[0090] refer to Figure 3-Figure 10The control circuit of the present invention is used to control the speed of the servo motor of the washing machine. The control circuit includes: a rectifier bridge, a filter capacitor, a three-phase inverter bridge, a servo motor and a controller 71.

[0091] The controller 71 is used to control the operation of various components in the washing machine so that the various components of the washing machine can operate to achieve various predetermined functions of the washing machine. The controller 71 refers to a device that can generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to instruct the air conditioner to execute the control instruction. For example, in response to a power-on or power-off instruction received from a user, the controller 71 can perform an operation related to the object selected by the power-on or power-off instruction.

[0096] The bus 81 may be a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus 81 or an extended industry standard architecture (EISA) bus 81, etc. The bus 81 may be divided into an address bus 81, a data bus 81, a control bus 81, etc. For ease of representation, only one thick line is used in the figure, but it does not mean that there is only one bus 81 or one type of bus 81.

[0097] The rectifier bridge is configured as a diode rectifier bridge, which is composed of four diodes and is used to convert alternating current into direct current to transmit to a direct current bus.

[0098] Before using the diode rectifier bridge, the four diodes need to be tested for insulation to ensure the safety and reliability of the diode rectifier bridge.

[0108] In the present invention, when the dehydration program of the washing machine ends, the inner drum needs to be operated from a high-speed rotation state to a stop state, and the inner drum and the drive shaft of the drive motor rotate simultaneously. When the dehydration program of the washing machine ends, the controller 71 receives a first signal of a stop state instruction, and the controller 71 controls the washing machine to stop, that is, the controller 71 controls the servo motor and the inner drum of the washing machine to stop running.

[0109] At this time, the servo motor vector control switches from the dual closed-loop control mode of speed loop and current loop to the dual current loop closed-loop control mode of only AC and DC current loop.

[0110] When the controller 71 receives the first signal, the quadrature-axis output current and the direct-axis output current of the current loop of the servo motor are controlled to be periodically adjusted, so that the DC bus voltage can be stabilized at the preset DC bus voltage U d -Ref value, avoiding device damage caused by excessive DC bus voltage, and effectively reducing the deceleration downtime of the servo motor of the washing machine.

[0111] Specifically, when the controller 71 receives the first signal, the current quadrature-axis output current and the current direct-axis output current of the current loop of the servo motor are controlled to remain unchanged.

[0112] Define the current quadrature-axis output current as the initial first quadrature-axis current i qref(1) , that is, the quadrature-axis output current initially input in the first cycle is the first quadrature-axis current i qref(1) ; Define the current direct-axis output current as the initial first direct-axis current i dref(1) , that is, the direct-axis output current initially input in the first cycle is the first direct-axis current i dref(1) .
