[0021] Preferably, capacitor C46 is grounded, capacitor C60 is grounded, and resistor R97 is grounded.

[0022] Among them, capacitors C57, C58, and C59 serve as port electrostatic protection, and their specific parameters are adjusted according to the motor power; resistors R97, R96, and capacitor C60 serve as bus current sampling (single resistor), and their specific parameters are adjusted according to the motor power; capacitors C55 and C49 serve as external capacitors for the built-in charge pump, and their specific parameters are adjusted according to the motor power; capacitors C52, C53, C54, and C56 serve as external capacitors for the built-in voltage regulator circuit, and their specific parameters are adjusted according to the motor power.

[0023] The present invention also provides an analysis method for the above-mentioned brushless DC motor drive circuit for intelligent knob tactile control, comprising the following steps: S1. Torque analysis of intelligent knob tactile control; S2. Determination of the tactile curve function of the intelligent knob; S3. Control process and model of brushless DC motor; Operational analysis of S4, CLARKE, and PARK; S5, Operational analysis of anti-CLARKE and anti-PARK; Analysis of S6 and SVPWM operations.

[0024] It should be noted that the intelligent knob structure includes an operation knob, a reduction gear structure that is connected to the operation knob for transmission, a main control circuit board, a Hall sensor circuit board, and a brushless DC motor.

[0025] Among them, the torque analysis for the tactile control of the smart knob: The torque force of an electric motor comes from the Ampere force. For example, in a brushless DC motor, the Ampere force of a certain winding coil is F=BIL. B is the magnetic field induction intensity of the internal permanent magnet. I is the current flowing through the coil, and L is the inductance of the coil.

[0026] The torque of a motor is given by: T = F * r, where r is the torque radius. Therefore, the current in the controlled coil can generate a controlled force.

[0027] Now apply the following expression: ∅1=B*▲S, where ∅1 is the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet inside the motor, ▲S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the interaction between the permanent magnet and the coil, and B is the magnetic field induction intensity of the internal permanent magnet.

[0028] ∅2=IL, where ∅2 is the magnetic flux generated by the winding coil, I is the current flowing through the coil, and L is the inductance of the coil.

[0029] The motor torque can then be expressed as: T = ∅1 × ∅2 / ▲S, |T| = 1 / ▲S|∅1 × ∅2| = 1 / ▲S|∅1| * |∅2| sinθ; where θ is the angle between ∅1 and ∅2.

[0030] To obtain the maximum torque force, when |T|=|T|max, θ=90°.

[0031] Therefore, the torque force is maximized when the direction of the magnetic flux generated by the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet.

[0032] Determining the tactile feedback curve function of the smart knob: For example, the feel requirement curve for a certain product is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the curve is not an elementary function that can be directly expressed. Therefore, it is necessary to discretize the curve and then synthesize a function that can be expressed: T=f(θ). The relationship of f can be obtained by using the Fourier series method or the approximation method.

[0033] Here's a brief explanation of the Fourier series method. When the knob rotates, T = f(θ) is clearly a periodic function of θ. Graphically, it also satisfies the Dirichlet condition. Therefore, T = f(θ) can be expressed as a Fourier series: f(\theta) = \frac{a_0}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} A_n \cdot \cos(n\omega_0 t + \varnothing_n); Therefore, the original curve can be synthesized by adding a certain number of cosine quantities to the DC quantity.

[0034] For the control process and model of brushless DC motors: like Figure 3 As shown, this is a vector control closed-loop system for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (or brushless DC motor). Through angle sensors, coordinate transformation, and SVPWM modulation, it achieves precise control of the motor torque. The core is to convert the target torque curve into voltage control commands for the motor.

[0035] Signal flow and functional decomposition 1. Current sampling and coordinate transformation (feedback path) The three-phase currents Ia, Ib, and Ic are collected from the three-phase half-bridge output terminal of the motor, and ia-ib is calculated using the constraint condition ia+ib+ic=0.

[0036] The Clarke transformation converts the currents Ia, Ib, and Ic in the three-phase stationary coordinate system into the currents Iα and Iβ in the two-phase stationary coordinate system.

[0037] After PARK transformation, combined with the motor rotor angle θ fed back by the angle sensor, Iα and Iβ are converted into direct-axis current Id and quadrature-axis current Iq in the rotating coordinate system.

[0038] 2. Torque Controller (Core Calculation) The controller receives Id, Iq, and angle θ, and outputs the target voltage commands Ud and Uq in the rotating coordinate system. Quadrature-axis voltage: Uq = K( (f(θ)) / BL - Iq ), where f(θ) is the target torque curve, BL is the motor parameter, and K is the controller gain.

[0039] Direct-axis voltage: Ud = (0 - Id), achieving the control objective of zero direct-axis current (maximum torque current ratio control).

[0040] 3. Inverse coordinate transformation and PWM modulation (drive path) Reverse PARK transformation: Convert the voltage commands Ud and Uq in the rotating coordinate system, combined with the angle θ, into voltages Uα and Uβ in the two-phase stationary coordinate system.

[0041] Reverse Clarke Transformation: Converts Uα and Uβ into voltage commands Ua, Ub, and Uc in a three-phase stationary coordinate system.

[0042] SVPWM (Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation): Generates PWM waves based on three-phase voltage commands, drives three half-bridge output circuits, and ultimately controls the motor operation.

[0043] 4. Angle Feedback An angle sensor detects the motor rotor angle θ in real time and provides it to the PARK conversion and reverse PARK conversion modules to achieve closed-loop control.

[0044] Core features By adopting a vector control strategy with Id=0, the motor torque is ensured to be proportional to the quadrature axis current Iq, which simplifies torque control.

[0045] The target torque curve f(θ) obtained by Fourier series or approximation method is directly embedded into the controller, realizing nonlinear torque output that meets the product feel requirements.

[0046] The entire system transforms the complex three-phase AC control into a more manageable DC rotating coordinate system control through coordinate transformation, thereby improving control accuracy and dynamic response.

[0047] SVPWM operation analysis: The main idea of ​​SVPWM is to use the switching of the inverter's space voltage vector to obtain a quasi-circular rotating magnetic field. This technology can significantly reduce the harmonic components of the inverter's output current, the harmonic losses of the motor, and torque ripple, and has high voltage utilization.

[0048] The principle of SVPWM is that the space voltage vector within an arbitrary vector hexagon can be represented by the sum of two adjacent vectors.

[0049] like Figure 6-7 As shown, UOUT is the desired space voltage vector located between U60 and U0. According to the principle of equal impulse, during the very short PWM period Ts, the voltage vector resulting from the combined effect of the output time 2*T1 of U0 and the output time 2*T2 of U60 is equivalent to their vector sum, UOUT. The remaining time is filled with a zero vector, T0.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
