For example, HVAC heating and cooling air conditioning products require precise control, making the motor a key component to solve this technical problem. At the same time, in HVAC heating and cooling air conditioning, in addition to real-time control of the motor target speed, torque, and air volume, the HVAC system mainboard also needs to feedback various motor status signals to the mainboard, so that the mainboard can determine the motor type and whether its operating status meets expectations based on the feedback motor status signal, and then adjust the motor target quantity in real time through the HVAC system mainboard based on the judgment result, so as to achieve a closed-loop control state with the motor status feedback signal, thereby accurately controlling the motor.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a logic diagram for realizing the software of the present invention. [Specific implementation method]

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings).

Therefore, the features defined as "preferred" or "sub-preferred" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a motor signal feedback control method includes an optocoupler U1, wherein pin 4 of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the motor through a resistor R1 as a transmitting end anode to receive the motor feedback signal, pin 3 of the optocoupler U1 is grounded as a transmitting end cathode, pin 1 of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the power supply through a resistor R2 as a receiving end collector, and pin 2 of the optocoupler U1 is connected to the main control board as a receiving end emitter to output a PWM frequency signal. The method includes:

[0026] S1. Set functional relationships between N different motor state feedback signals and PWM frequency f in the main control board, and define a PWM frequency range for each functional relationship, and the PWM frequency ranges do not overlap; at the same time, set a transmission cycle of the motor, and divide the transmission cycle into M transmission cycle time periods, and set the motor to feedback PWM frequency signals corresponding to different motor state feedback signals in different transmission cycle time periods; wherein N and M are integers, and N>1, M≥N; the motor is a PSC motor or a PWM motor.

[0027] Preferably, M=N, and the duration of each sending cycle time period in a sending cycle is the same; the motor state feedback signal includes a power feedback signal, a speed feedback signal, a state feedback signal, a bus voltage feedback signal, a current feedback signal and a torque feedback signal.

[0028] S2, the motor outputs the PWM frequency signal corresponding to each motor status feedback signal to the main control board according to the sending cycle timing cycle;

[0030] Preferably, the motor target quantity is a rotation speed target quantity, a torque target quantity or an air volume target quantity.

[0031] The following is an application example in which the motor outputs power feedback signal, speed feedback signal and status feedback signal to the main control board through an optocoupler signal. The control method is as follows:

[0032] S1. Establish a functional relationship between the motor feedback signal and the PWM frequency f, so that the PWM signal frequency changes with the change of the motor signal value, and define the frequency range of the functional relationship. The definitions are as follows:

[0033] Define the speed feedback PWM signal frequency f1 = f(RPM), and the range of f1 is (0, 300 Hz);

[0034] Define the power feedback PWM signal frequency f2 = f(HP), and the range of f2 is (300, 350 Hz);

[0035] Define the state feedback PWM signal frequency f3 = f(FO), and the range of f3 is (350, 400 Hz).

[0036] S2. After the above PWM signals of different frequencies are generated, the above PWM signals are output to the main control board in a transmission cycle T as a timing cycle according to the agreement; if three frequency signals of power feedback signal, speed feedback signal and state feedback signal are set in this application, a transmission cycle T can be set to 30S, and the above three PWM signals can be set to be sent in a cyclic manner according to the following timing, respectively

[0039] In 21-30S, the output state feedback PWM signal.

[0040] S3. After receiving the above three PWM signals, the main control board determines the corresponding motor state feedback signal type according to the agreed frequency range characteristics, and reversely calculates the actual value of the corresponding motor state feedback signal according to the corresponding functional relationship. The main control board then accurately adjusts the motor target value based on these feedback actual values.

[0041] In this case, more signal frequency ranges and corresponding functional relationships can be further defined in S1 according to the actual motor feedback signal type requirements. At the same time, the number of time periods of the sending cycle can be set in S2 according to the number of motor feedback signal types in S1.

[0044] In the software implementation logic, after the motor starts to rotate, the motor control module initializes the motor-related variables and extracts the corresponding motor motion parameters, and then sends the corresponding motor motion parameters to the speed feedback frequency function module, the power feedback frequency function module, and the state feedback frequency function module respectively; then, according to the calculation time of the sending signal time counter, the speed feedback frequency function module, the power feedback frequency function module, and the state feedback frequency function module send the corresponding frequency signal to the optocoupler U1 as the PWM sending module in turn within one sending cycle, wherein the frequency signal range of the speed feedback frequency function module is (0, 300hz), the frequency signal range of the power feedback frequency function module is (300, 350hz), and the state feedback frequency The frequency signal range of the function module is (350, 400hz); then the optocoupler U1 converts each frequency signal into a corresponding PWM square wave frequency signal and sends it to the main control board; then the main board receiving signal module identifies the motor state feedback signal type corresponding to the PWM square wave frequency signal according to the agreed frequency signal range, and sends the corresponding PWM square wave frequency signal to the speed feedback signal decoding module, the power feedback signal decoding module or the state feedback signal decoding module according to the motor state feedback signal type; then each motor state feedback signal decoding module performs an inverse function calculation based on the corresponding function relationship to obtain the actual value of each motor state feedback signal; finally, the main control board control module adjusts the motor target according to the actual value of each motor state feedback signal. Among them, the inverse function calculation is a function relationship established based on the motor state feedback signal and the PWM frequency f, and the actual value of the motor state feedback signal is calculated in reverse.
