DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of the motor unit 1 of the present embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the motor unit 1 includes a power supply circuit 2, a drive circuit 3, a control circuit 4, and a DC motor 5. The motor unit 1 uses a single-phase AC voltage supplied from a commercial AC power supply (not shown) via a 2-core power cable 6 as a power supply voltage. The 2-core power cable 6 has a power line 7 electrically connected to the L terminal of the commercial AC power supply, and a neutral line 8 electrically connected to the N terminal of the commercial AC power supply.

[0011] The power circuit 2 converts AC input from a commercial AC power source into DC output. More specifically, the power circuit 2 converts a single-phase AC voltage supplied from a commercial AC power source via a two-core power cable 6 into a DC voltage, and outputs the DC voltage to the drive circuit 3. The power circuit 2 includes a first AC input terminal P1, a second AC input terminal P2, a first DC output terminal P3, a second DC output terminal P4, and a main body ground terminal P5.

[0012] The first AC input terminal P1 is electrically connected to the power line 7. The second AC input terminal P2 is electrically connected to the neutral line 8. That is, a single-phase AC voltage is input to the power circuit 2 from the commercial AC power supply via the first AC input terminal P1 and the second AC input terminal P2.

[0013] The first DC output terminal P3 and the second DC output terminal P4 are respectively electrically connected to the drive circuit 3. The power supply circuit 2 outputs a DC voltage to the drive circuit 3 through the first DC output terminal P3 and the second DC output terminal P4.

[0014] The main body ground terminal P5 is electrically connected to an external metal component (illustration omitted). For example, the metal component electrically connected to the main body ground terminal P5 is a metal housing that contains the power supply circuit 2. The metal housing that contains the power supply circuit 2 may also be the housing of the motor unit 1. The power supply circuit 2 is electrically connected to a metal component such as a metal housing via the main body ground terminal P5.

[0015] The drive circuit 3 generates a drive voltage for driving the DC motor 5 using the DC voltage output from the power circuit 2, and outputs the drive voltage to the DC motor 5. For example, the drive circuit 3 is a three-phase full-bridge circuit composed of six power semiconductor switch components. The drive circuit 3 converts the DC voltage supplied from the power circuit 2 into a three-phase AC voltage, and outputs the three-phase AC voltage to the DC motor 5 as the drive voltage.

[0016] The control circuit 4 outputs a control signal for generating a driving voltage to the driving circuit 3. The control circuit 4 controls the on-operation and off-operation of each power semiconductor switch component by outputting a control signal to each of the six power semiconductor switch components.

[0017] For example, the control circuit 4 receives a speed command signal from a higher-level control device (not shown), and outputs a control signal to the drive circuit 3 to rotate the DC motor 5 at a target speed indicated by the speed command signal. For example, the control circuit 4 is a processor having a built-in memory (not shown). As an example, the control circuit 4 is a microcontroller unit (MCU) and controls the drive circuit 3 according to a program pre-stored in a memory.

[0018] The DC motor 5 rotates according to the driving voltage supplied from the driving circuit 3. For example, the DC motor 5 is a three-phase brushless DC motor that rotates according to the three-phase AC voltage supplied from the driving circuit 3.

[0019] Below, refer to Figure 2 , the structure of the power supply circuit 2 in this embodiment is described in detail. Figure 2 2 is a circuit diagram showing the structure of the power supply circuit 2. Figure 2 As shown, the power supply circuit 2 includes: a common mode choke 10, a fuse 20, a first capacitor 30, a varistor 40, a first surge absorption element 51, a second surge absorption element 52, a rectifier circuit 60, a smoothing circuit 70, a bypass circuit 80, a second capacitor 90, a first AC line L1, a second AC line L2, a first DC line L3, and a second DC line L4.

[0020] The common mode choke coil 10 has a magnetically coupled first coil 11 and a second coil 12. One end of the first coil 11 is electrically connected to one end of the first AC line L1. The other end of the first AC line L1 is electrically connected to the first AC input terminal P1 via the fuse 20. That is, one end of the first coil 11 is electrically connected to the first AC input terminal P1 via the first AC line L1 and the fuse 20.

[0021] One end of the second coil 12 is electrically connected to one end of the second AC line L2. The other end of the second AC line L2 is electrically connected to the second AC input terminal P2. That is, one end of the second coil 12 is electrically connected to the second AC input terminal P2 via the second AC line L2. In this way, the first AC line L1 and the second AC line L2 are a pair of wiring that transmits the single-phase AC voltage input to the power supply circuit 2 via the two-core power cable 6 to the common mode choke coil 10.

[0022] The other end of each of the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 is electrically connected to the rectifier circuit 60. Specifically, the other end of the first coil 11 is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the first diode 61 included in the rectifier circuit 60. The other end of the second coil 12 is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the third diode 63 included in the rectifier circuit 60.

[0023] The first capacitor 30 is electrically connected between one end of the first coil 11 and one end of the second coil 12. Specifically, one end of the first capacitor 30 is electrically connected to one end of the first coil 11 via the first AC line L1, and the other end of the first capacitor 30 is electrically connected to one end of the second coil 12 via the second AC line L2. For example, the first capacitor 30 is a film capacitor.

[0024] The varistor 40 is electrically connected in parallel with the first capacitor 30. Specifically, one end of the varistor 40 is electrically connected to one end of the first coil 11 via the first AC line L1, and the other end of the varistor 40 is electrically connected to one end of the second coil 12 via the second AC line L2. The varistor 40 is arranged in the front stage of the first capacitor 30.

[0025] The first surge absorbing element 51 and the second surge absorbing element 52 are elements for absorbing surge voltage. Specifically, the surge absorbing element of the present embodiment has the property of functioning as an insulator when a voltage below a predetermined value is applied, and functioning as a conductor when a voltage exceeding the predetermined value is applied.

[0026] The first surge absorbing element 51 is electrically connected in parallel with the first coil 11 . Specifically, one end of the first surge absorbing element 51 is electrically connected to one end of the first coil 11 , and the other end of the first surge absorbing element 51 is electrically connected to the other end of the first coil 11 .

[0027] The second surge absorbing element 52 is electrically connected in parallel with the second coil 12 . Specifically, one end of the second surge absorbing element 52 is electrically connected to one end of the second coil 12 , and the other end of the second surge absorbing element 52 is electrically connected to the other end of the second coil 12 .

[0028] As an example, the first surge absorbing element 51 and the second surge absorbing element 52 are lightning arresters. As another example, the first surge absorbing element 51 and the second surge absorbing element 52 may be varistors.

[0029] The rectifier circuit 60 rectifies a single-phase AC voltage input from the first AC input terminal P1 and the second AC input terminal P2 via the common mode choke coil 10 into a DC voltage. The rectifier circuit 60 includes a first diode 61 , a second diode 62 , a third diode 63 , and a fourth diode 64 .

[0030] The anode terminal of the first diode 61 is electrically connected to the other end of the first coil 11, the other end of the first surge absorbing element 51, and the cathode terminal of the second diode 62. The anode terminal of the third diode 63 is electrically connected to the other end of the second coil 12, the other end of the second surge absorbing element 52, and the cathode terminal of the fourth diode 64.

[0031] The cathode terminal of the first diode 61 is electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the third diode 63 and one end of the first DC line L3. The anode terminal of the second diode 62 is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the fourth diode 64 and one end of the second DC line L4.

[0032] The other end of the first DC line L3 is electrically connected to the first DC output terminal P3. The other end of the second DC line L4 is electrically connected to the second DC output terminal P4. Thus, the first DC line L3 and the second DC line L4 are a pair of wirings that transmit a DC voltage from the rectifying circuit 60 to the smoothing circuit 70.

[0033] The smoothing circuit 70 smoothes the DC voltage output from the rectifying circuit 60. The smoothing circuit 70 includes a third capacitor 71 and a fourth capacitor 72. The third capacitor 71 is electrically connected between the first DC line L3 and the second DC line L4. For example, the third capacitor 71 is an electrolytic capacitor. The fourth capacitor 72 is electrically connected between the first DC line L3 and the second DC line L4, and is arranged at a subsequent stage of the third capacitor 71.

[0034] The bypass circuit 80 includes a varistor 81 and a lightning arrester 82 electrically connected in series between the first DC line L3 and the second DC line L4. One end of the varistor 81 is electrically connected to the first DC line L3. One end of the lightning arrester 82 is electrically connected to the other end of the varistor 81, and the other end of the lightning arrester 82 is electrically connected to the second DC line L4. The bypass circuit 80 is arranged between the rectifier circuit 60 and the smoothing circuit 70.

[0035] The second capacitor 90 is electrically connected between the second DC line L4 having a lower potential than the first DC line L3 and the main body ground terminal P5. That is, the second DC line L4 is electrically connected to a metal component such as a metal case of the built-in power supply circuit 2 via the second capacitor 90 and the main body ground terminal P5. For example, the second capacitor 90 is a ceramic capacitor.

[0036] In the power supply circuit 2 configured as described above, when a common mode lightning surge voltage enters the power supply circuit 2 from the first AC input terminal P1 via the power supply line 7 of the two-core power cable 6 , the lightning surge voltage is transmitted to the first coil 11 of the common mode choke coil 10 via the first AC line L1 .

[0037] In this case, since the first surge absorbing element 51 is electrically connected in parallel with the first coil 11, the lightning surge voltage does not pass through the first coil 11, but is transmitted to the rectifier circuit 60 via the first surge absorbing element 51. The lightning surge voltage transmitted to the rectifier circuit 60 via the first surge absorbing element 51 is transmitted to the first DC line L3 via the first diode 61.

[0038] On the other hand, when a common mode lightning surge voltage enters the power supply circuit 2 from the second AC input terminal P2 via the neutral line 8 of the two-core power cable 6 , the lightning surge voltage is transmitted to the second coil 12 of the common mode choke coil 10 via the second AC line L2 .

[0039] In this case, since the second surge absorbing element 52 is electrically connected in parallel with the second coil 12, the lightning surge voltage does not pass through the second coil 12, but is transmitted to the rectifier circuit 60 via the second surge absorbing element 52. The lightning surge voltage transmitted to the rectifier circuit 60 via the second surge absorbing element 52 is transmitted to the first DC line L3 via the third diode 63.

[0040] The lightning surge voltage transmitted to the first DC line L3 is transmitted to the second DC line L4 via the bypass circuit 80 having the varistor 81 and the arrester 82. The lightning surge voltage transmitted to the second DC line L4 is transmitted to metal parts such as a metal case including the power supply circuit 2 via the second capacitor 90 and the body ground terminal P5.

[0041] As described above, when a common-mode lightning surge voltage invades the power supply circuit 2 from the commercial AC power supply via the two-core power supply cable 6, the lightning surge voltage is transmitted through the path described above, which can not only protect the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 of the common-mode choke 10, but also protect the circuit elements arranged after the smoothing circuit 70 from the influence of the common-mode lightning surge voltage.

[0042] In addition, when a normal mode lightning surge voltage invades the power supply circuit 2 from the commercial AC power supply via the two-core power supply cable 6, the varistor 40 electrically connected between the first AC line L1 and the second AC line L2 absorbs the lightning surge voltage, thereby protecting each circuit element from the influence of the normal mode lightning surge voltage.

[0043] As described above, the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment is a power supply circuit 2 that converts AC input into DC output, and has: a common mode choke 10, which has a magnetically coupled first coil 11 and a second coil 12, and is electrically connected to the AC input; a rectifier circuit 60, which rectifies the AC voltage input from the AC input via the common mode choke 10 into a DC output; and a smoothing circuit 70, which smoothes the DC voltage output from the rectifier circuit 60, and the power supply circuit 2 includes: a first surge absorption element 51, which is electrically connected in parallel with the first coil 11; and a second surge absorption element 52, which is electrically connected in parallel with the second coil 12.

[0044] As described above, the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment includes: the first surge absorbing element 51 electrically connected in parallel with the first coil 11 of the common mode choke coil 10; and the second surge absorbing element 52 electrically connected in parallel with the second coil 12 of the common mode choke coil 10. In the power supply circuit of Patent Document 1, only one of the two coils of the common mode choke coil can be protected from the surge voltage, but according to the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment, both the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 of the common mode choke coil 10 can be protected from the lightning surge voltage. In this way, according to the present embodiment, a power supply circuit 2 capable of improving the protection performance of protecting circuit elements from the lightning surge voltage is provided.

[0045] In the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment, the first surge absorbing element 51 and the second surge absorbing element 52 are lightning arresters.

[0046] According to the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment, both the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 of the common mode choke coil 10 can be effectively protected, in particular, from a relatively high lightning surge voltage of about several kV caused by a lightning strike.

[0047] In the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment, the first surge absorption element 51 and the second surge absorption element 52 may be varistors.

[0048] According to the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment described above, both the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 of the common mode choke coil 10 can be effectively protected, in particular, from a relatively low lightning surge voltage of about several hundred V caused by a lightning strike.

[0049] The power supply circuit 2 of this embodiment further includes: a first DC line L3 and a second DC line L4 for transmitting a DC voltage from the rectifier circuit 60 to the smoothing circuit 70; and a bypass circuit 80 having a varistor 81 and a lightning arrester 82 electrically connected in series between the first DC line L3 and the second DC line L4.

[0050] According to the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment as described above, the lightning surge voltage sent to the output side (particularly the first DC line L3) of the rectifier circuit 60 via at least one of the first surge absorbing element 51 and the second surge absorbing element 52 can be bypassed to the second DC line L4 at the preceding stage of the smoothing circuit 70. The lightning arrester 82 has a characteristic of continuing and continuously flowing the current once it starts to flow, but can prevent the current from continuously flowing at the constant voltage set by the varistor varistor 81.

[0051] The power circuit 2 of this embodiment further includes a body ground terminal P5 electrically connected to a metal component such as a metal case in which the power circuit 2 is built, and a second capacitor 90 electrically connected between a second DC line L4 having a lower potential than the first DC line L3 and the body ground terminal P5.

[0052] According to the power supply circuit 2 of the present embodiment as described above, the lightning surge voltage that is bypassed to the second DC line L4 through the bypass circuit 80 at the front stage of the smoothing circuit 70 can be released to metal parts such as the metal shell of the built-in power supply circuit 2 via the second capacitor 90 and the main body ground terminal P5, thereby protecting the circuit elements after the smoothing circuit 70 from the influence of the lightning surge voltage.

[0053] The motor unit 1 of this embodiment includes: a DC motor 5; a power supply circuit 2; a drive circuit 3, which uses the DC voltage output from the power supply circuit 2 to generate a drive voltage for driving the DC motor 5 and outputs the drive voltage to the DC motor 5; and a control circuit 4, which outputs a control signal for generating the drive voltage to the drive circuit 3.

[0054] As described above, the motor unit 1 of this embodiment includes the power supply circuit 2 capable of improving the protection performance of circuit elements from lightning surge voltage. Therefore, according to this embodiment, a motor unit 1 capable of improving the protection performance of circuit elements from lightning surge voltage is provided.

In addition, any one of the first AC line L1 , the second AC line L2 , the first DC line L3 , and the second DC line L4 may be passed through an inrush current suppression element (power thermistor). In the above embodiment, the power supply circuit 2 of the motor unit 1 is illustrated as the power supply circuit of the present invention, but the power supply circuit of the present invention can be widely used as a power supply circuit of an electronic device that uses a single-phase AC voltage supplied from a commercial AC power supply via a 2-core power cable 6 as a power supply voltage.
