[0031] The control motherboard 3 includes a power module, a control module, a drive module, and a communication module. The power module supplies power to the control module, drive module, and communication module by converting the voltage of a portion of the power supplied to the pin headers. The control module includes an ARM-based microcontroller. The drive module includes an integrated driver chip and a voltage and current sampling circuit. The communication module includes a CAN driver chip. The microcontroller outputs a PWM control signal to the integrated driver chip to establish a control connection. The motor drive line of the micro motor 2 is electrically connected to the integrated driver chip via an FPC cable, and the motor drive line is electrically connected to the ADC interface of the microcontroller via the voltage and current sampling circuit. The electromagnetic encoder 22 of the micro motor 2 is electrically connected to the SPI interface of the microcontroller. The communication interface of the microcontroller is connected to the remaining pin headers via the CAN driver chip.

[0032] This device primarily achieves miniaturized integration of the motor, drive, control, and interface, giving it miniaturization, shock and vibration resistance, and airtightness. The miniature motor 2 mainly provides kinetic energy to the load, enabling functions such as position positioning and high-speed rotation. The electromagnetic encoder 22 provides feedback on the real-time angular position of the output shaft 26 of the miniature motor 2. The control motherboard 3 mainly uses a microcontroller to calculate and acquire the real-time position of the output shaft 26 of the miniature motor 2, controlling the speed, direction, and braking of the drive motor 2. Simultaneously, it transmits position information via CAN communication. The miniature motor 2 adopts a mature miniature permanent magnet brushless motor. With its integrated control and drive design, it achieves a gearbox-less design and extreme lightweight design, featuring precise control angle and speed. It can quickly and accurately drive the antenna to the target position; achieving high-precision position positioning and low-latency rotation of the load antenna.

[0033] The specific selection and matching are as follows: the microcontroller is the Arm Cortex processor series AT32F413KBU7-4 chip. Pins 6, 7, and 8 are the output terminals for three-channel PWM control signals; pins 10, 11, and 12 are the input terminals for three-channel voltage feedback circuits; pins 9, 13, and 15 are the input terminals for three-channel current feedback circuits; pin 25 is the SPI interface; and pins 28 and 29 are the communication interface, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown. The AT32F413KBU7-4 chip is a small-package, low-weight component in QFN or DFN form factor, measuring 4*4mm and weighing only 68mg. It provides a rich set of peripheral interfaces, including PWM, IO, SPI, and ADC, which facilitates miniaturization and integration.

[0034] In addition to hardware, the control module also includes software within the microcontroller. The control working principle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the drive module adjusts the direction and magnitude of the drive current in real time based on the feedback signal from the electromagnetic encoder 22, thereby driving the rotor 24 of the micro motor 2 to rotate. The electromagnetic encoder 22 collects the position information of the rotor 24. Based on the collected feedback signal, the microcontroller determines when to commutate the current and accordingly controls the state of the switching elements such as power transistors (e.g., MOSFETs) in the drive module to achieve the drive change. The microcontroller uses pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to control the current magnitude. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the on-time and off-time of the switching elements can be controlled, thereby controlling the average current and thus the speed and torque of the micro motor 2.

The external interface is designed with terminating resistors and EMC protection circuits, as shown in the design. Figure 7 As shown.

[0036] The motor is driven by an integrated driver chip, which incorporates a pre-drive and three half-bridges for direct motor drive. Its PWM control frequency reaches 250kHz, with an output rise time of less than 200ns and a fall time of less than 160ns. It features undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and overtemperature protection, and is packaged in a QFN4*4mm package, weighing only 60mg. The driver module incorporates current and voltage feedback for closed-loop control. One voltage feedback circuit is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the three-channel current feedback circuit is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0037] The current sampling uses an integrated high-speed operational amplifier to design a differential amplifier circuit to detect the three-phase current. A 0.3Ω current sensing resistor is used, amplifying the current by 21 times. Therefore, the current calculation formula is as follows: I = (ADC / 4096*3.3) / 21 / 0.3, where ADC is the register value acquired by the microcontroller, 4096 is the 12-bit ADC coefficient, and 3.3V is the reference voltage. Voltage sampling uses a resistor voltage divider method with a voltage division ratio of 5:1. Therefore, the back electromotive force calculation formula is as follows: V = (ADC / 4096*3.3) / 6.

[0038] Bus voltage, U-phase electromotive force, and V-phase electromotive force are acquired using a single channel and a continuous sampling method. The microcontroller's ADC general-purpose channel can be configured as follows:

[0041] The power supply design of this device adopts DC / DC conversion, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 95%. The DC / DC converter transforms the input voltage into a 3.3V voltage usable by the MCU system. The chip input voltage range is 2.8V to 12V, meeting the requirement of a 4V to 6.5V input voltage range. Reverse connection protection and surge protection are also included: Schottky diodes are used for reverse connection protection, with a voltage drop to 0.2V; TVS diodes are used for surge protection, with a reverse cutoff voltage (Vrwm) of 7V, a maximum clamping voltage of 12V, and a peak pulse current (Ipp) @ 10 / 1000us of 16.7A; ceramic capacitors are used for filtering to ensure the stability and reliability of the control system's power supply. The specific circuit schematic can be derived from the above description and existing technologies, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0042] The pin header 5 is a connector of model A2005WV-4P. Two pins of the pin header 5 are input voltage terminals, and the other two pins are two external CAN communication connection terminals. The use of the pin header 5 to lead out the connection terminals facilitates sealing of the lower end of the main housing 1. Through the design of the above modules, the PCB board size of the control motherboard 3 can be designed to be 23*8*0.8mm, with a uniform and reasonable layout. The PCB board rendering is shown below. Figure 8 As shown.

An air extraction channel is provided inside the micro motor 2 between the two end covers of the motor end cover assembly. Figure 9 As shown.

[0044] The stator 25 provides a permanent magnetic field, and the rotor 24 provides an electromagnetic field. Under the commutation of the brushes, the rotor 24 rotates, providing driving force. An electromagnetic encoder 22 is installed at the other end opposite the output end. A sensing magnetic ring 23 is installed on the shaft of the rotor 24 facing the end face of the electromagnetic encoder 22. The electromagnetic encoder 22 senses the position of the sensing magnetic ring 23, providing feedback on the real-time position of the output shaft 26. The microcontroller obtains the SPI timing of the electromagnetic encoder 22 via the SPI interface, with a theoretical minimum angle control accuracy of no less than 0.1°. The end cap at the output shaft 26 provides a groove for installing a sealing ring 21. The space inside the sealing ring 21 is connected to the internal space, forming an air extraction channel.

[0045] In this patent, the output shaft 26 adopts a unique hollow shaft + airtight core design. The advantage of this design is that it can reduce the weight of the motor and also allow for the extraction and injection of inert gas using the output shaft 26. Its design structure is as follows: Figure 10 As shown. Output shaft 26 is The circular shaft also adopts a hollow design, with a hollow diameter of... Then glue on the required size 26 aluminum sleeve for the output shaft to ensure that the interface requirements of the whole machine are met.

[0046] The main housing 1 includes a hollow cylinder. The upper end of the hollow cylinder is open and fastened with an upper end cover 11. The upper end cover 11 has a through hole. The output shaft 26 of the micro motor 2 passes through the through hole and the output end is embedded in the through hole, so that the upper end cover 11 closes the upper end of the hollow cylinder, realizing precise radial and axial positioning of the motor. The upper end of the control main board 3 is locked with the upper end cover 11 and the lower end is locked with the adapter plate 4. The lower end of the hollow cylinder is fastened with a lower end cover 12, so that the lower end cover 12 closes the lower end of the hollow cylinder. The lower end cover 12 is installed with the lower end of the micro motor 2 by setting a support bracket.

The lower end cover 12 accommodates and installs the pin header 5 by setting a pin header sealing groove, and the pins of the pin header 5 protrude from the lower end cover 12.

[0047] During the manufacturing and assembly of this device, the micro motor 2 and the control motherboard 3 are connected via an FPC cable. The FPC sockets are selected with a 0.5mm pitch to minimize size and weight. The upper cover 11 of the main housing 1 is fixed to the micro motor 2 and the control motherboard 3 through perforations (and additional slots if necessary). Sealant is applied to the assembly joint between the micro motor 2 and the upper cover 11, ensuring the sealant is applied evenly and completely around the perimeter, and any excess sealant is cleaned up. The micro motor 2, control motherboard 3, and upper cover 11 then form a single assembly, which is then snapped into the upper part of the main housing 1. Sealant is applied to the perimeter and pin slots of the lower cover 12, ensuring the sealant is applied evenly and completely around the perimeter and within the sealing groove, and any excess sealant is cleaned up. The lower cover 12 is snapped into the lower port of the main housing 1. During this insertion process, the slots and support brackets of the lower cover 12 also secure the lower ends of the micro motor 2 and the control motherboard 3. The upper end of the micro motor 2 has a sealing groove, within which a sealing ring 21 is placed. This structure ensures the effective positioning and fixation of the micro motor 2 and the control motherboard 3, and forms a closed structure to facilitate subsequent vacuuming and inert gas filling.

Both the limiting mounting step of the micro motor 2 and the output shaft 26 can be D-shaped, and their straight surfaces face each other. Figure 11 As shown. The inner surface of the upper end cover 11 of the main housing 1 is provided with an installation groove corresponding to the limiting installation step so that the output end of the micro motor 2 is embedded and fixed on the upper end cover 11, thereby achieving precise radial and axial positioning of the motor.

Simultaneously, 6061 aluminum possesses excellent weldability, greatly facilitating subsequent processing and assembly, making the entire manufacturing process more efficient and flexible. Furthermore, this aluminum exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining its good physical and chemical properties under various harsh environmental conditions, extending the structure's service life. Its excellent machinability allows the main body to undergo precise cutting, drilling, and bending operations according to design requirements, meeting diverse usage needs. The upper and lower end caps 12 at both ends of the main housing 1 are made of a special aerospace engineering plastic, PEEK. This material is renowned for its superior mechanical properties, capable of withstanding high-intensity mechanical stress without easily deforming or cracking. At the same time, PEEK also possesses extremely strong chemical corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of various chemical substances and maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the outer shell. Its wear resistance and fatigue resistance are also outstanding, maintaining good surface quality and structural performance even during prolonged use. Furthermore, PEEK exhibits excellent dimensional stability, maintaining constant and precise dimensions under various temperature conditions, ensuring a tight fit and secure connection between components.

Based on overall requirements, the micro motor 2, control motherboard 3, adapter board 4, and pin header 5 are stacked, resulting in a stacked size less than 13.05mm*8mm*23.5mm. Therefore, the main housing 1 has a length of 16.5mm, a width of 8.6mm, and a total height of 24mm. Using 6061 aluminum alloy, the weight of the aluminum alloy housing is calculated to be 0.9 grams. The upper and lower covers are made of PEEK material; the upper cover 11 weighs 0.14 grams, and the lower cover 12 weighs 0.16 grams. T9000 sealant is used, with a dosage of 0.2g. Therefore, the total weight of the main housing 1 is: 0.9g + 0.14g + 0.16g + 0.2g = 1.4g, and the total weight can be controlled within 2g. The micro motor 2 weighs 3.09g, the control motherboard 3 weighs 0.5g, the adapter board 4 weighs 0.2g, and the auxiliary materials weigh 0.2g, for a total stacked weight of 3.99g. Therefore, the total weight of the device, including all its hardware, is 4.6g, which meets the requirement that the conventional micro motor 2 weighs ≤6g.
