Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on April 21, 2021, bearing application number 202110431079.3 and entitled "Motor-equipped equipment, and method and device for improving stopping noise thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present disclosure relates to the field of motor control technology, and more particularly to a motor-equipped device and a method and device for improving stopping noise thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] The high-speed motor of a vacuum cleaner has a high rotation speed during operation. After the power supply of the vacuum cleaner is turned off, the motor goes through a free-running stop process, which generates a long noise during the process. The braking method can effectively solve the noise problem. For example, the current braking method often adopts an energy consumption braking method, which short-circuits the motor windings by turning on the lower arm switching element, generating a short-circuit current to heat the windings, and converting the kinetic energy of the motor into thermal energy to quickly stop the motor.

[0003] However, in battery-powered devices, such as handheld vacuum cleaners, after the device is stopped, the battery management system cuts off the battery power supply, and the power supply voltage of the battery power supply drops rapidly. If the voltage of the battery power supply is too low, the driving voltage of the power switching element will be insufficient, and the chip will be powered down, making it difficult to effectively maintain the brake function. In particular, when the motor rotation speed is high, a longer brake time is required, and the motor will enter a free-running stop state after braking fails, and the noise after stopping cannot be effectively improved.

[0017] The following description provides specific details, such as specific system configurations, techniques, etc., for purposes of explanation and not limitation, to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can be implemented in other embodiments that do not have these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present disclosure with unnecessary details.

[0018] Hereinafter, specific examples will be used to explain the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0019] At present, in devices with motors, including common handheld vacuum cleaners, the rotation speed of the motor is very high, so when the device is stopped, a large stopping noise is generated in the process of the motor's rotation speed gradually decreasing from a high speed. In order to overcome the defect of stopping noise, a method is currently commonly used in which the kinetic energy of the motor is converted by energy consumption braking, and the kinetic energy caused by the operation of the motor is converted into thermal energy of the motor windings to brake the rotation speed of the motor. However, when the device is turned off, the voltage drops rapidly, so the driving voltage of the power switch may be insufficient or the chip may be powered down, making it difficult to effectively maintain the braking function. After the motor brake function of adjusting the operation fails, the motor enters a relatively long free-running stop state, and the motor noise cannot be effectively improved.

[0020] Based on the above problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a motorized device and a method for improving stopping noise thereof. Fig. 1 is a system schematic diagram of a motorized device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the system of the motorized device includes a power supply, a control unit, a voltage collecting unit, a driving unit and a motor.

[0021] Here, the power supply may be, for example, a DC power supply including a rechargeable battery. In one embodiment, the power supply is provided with a filter capacitor. After the power supply is cut off, the kinetic energy of the motor is returned to the busbar at the power supply end to charge the filter capacitor at the power supply end, thereby improving the power supply end voltage.

[0022] The voltage collecting unit collects the bus voltage at the power supply end. The bus voltage in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be the voltage of the power supply line of the power supply located on the motor equipment side of the equipment stop switch. The bus voltage may be collected by a voltage sensor, and the bus voltage may be identified by a voltage detection circuit, and the voltage detection circuit may be configured with a chip such as MIC833.

[0023] The control unit compares the collected bus voltage with a preset voltage threshold. The preset voltage threshold includes a first threshold voltage and a second threshold voltage, and the voltage value of the first threshold voltage is greater than the voltage value of the second threshold voltage. In one embodiment, the first threshold voltage is less than a maximum safe voltage of the device, which is the bus voltage at the power supply just before the driving circuit or power supply is damaged. By setting the first threshold voltage to be less than the maximum safe voltage of the device, components in the device are not damaged when the device is in an energy consumption braking mode. The voltage value of the second threshold voltage is greater than a minimum driving voltage, which is the minimum voltage at the bus that effectively drives the normal operation of electronic components in the device. The electronic components to be driven include power switches in the device, etc. By setting the voltage value of the second threshold voltage to be greater than the minimum driving voltage, when the bus voltage is less than the second threshold voltage, the bus voltage can be instantly boosted, ensuring that the power switches in the device can be effectively driven, and ensuring that the chip does not power down.

[0024] In one embodiment, the control unit may further receive an adjustment command inputted from a user, and adjust the pre-stored threshold voltage according to the adjustment command.

[0025] The driving unit converts the power supply so that the power supply can drive the motor to operate. The driving unit may include a plurality of power switches, the control ends of which are connected to the control unit, and the power switches in the driving unit can be controlled to be turned on and off by a control command sent from the control unit.

[0026] In one embodiment, the drive unit may be a three-phase inverter circuit. Here, the three-phase inverter circuit may include a plurality of power switches. The plurality of power switches may be grouped according to their positions, and include an upper arm switch group (power switches located in an upper portion of the three-phase inverter circuit and corresponding freewheel switch diodes) and a lower arm switch group (power switches located in a lower portion of the three-phase inverter circuit and corresponding freewheel switch diodes).

[0027] The motor may include a three-phase input port connected to motor windings in the motor, the motor windings being a stator of the motor, and when a magnetic motor rotor rotates, the rotor's magnetic field cuts the motor windings in the stator, thereby converting the motor's kinetic energy into electrical energy.

[0028] When the device receives a stop command, the device cuts off the voltage of the power supply, and the bus voltage supplying the motor gradually drops. The embodiment of the present disclosure monitors the bus voltage and performs a different type of conversion on the kinetic energy of the motor according to the bus voltage, so as to realize a more sustained and effective braking process for the motor and further improve the noise of the motor.

[0029] 2 is a schematic diagram of the energy conversion for noise reduction of a motor-equipped device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, when the device receives a stop command, the kinetic energy generated by the motor rotation can be converted into energy in two ways: regenerative braking and energy consumption braking.

[0030] The energy consumption braking includes shorting the motor windings, so that the motor windings generate heat energy in the short circuit, thereby realizing the motor brake function. The manner of shorting the motor windings can be achieved by adjusting the on-off state of the power switch in the driving circuit. Needless to say, the manner is not limited thereto, and the circuit in which the motor windings are located can also be directly shorted by connecting other controllable switches.

[0031] In the regenerative braking, the bus voltage of the motor can be increased by boosting the electric energy converted from the kinetic energy of the motor rotation with a boost circuit. When boosting the electric energy, the on-off state of the power switch in the driving unit can be controlled to boost the capacitor of the bus voltage of the motor, for example, including a boost chopper circuit. Alternatively, the bus voltage can be increased by boosting the electric energy converted from the kinetic energy of the motor with another boost circuit. After the bus voltage is increased, the power switch of the driving unit can be normally and effectively driven, and the power down of the chip can be prevented, so that the brake function can be effectively maintained and the stopping noise of the equipment can be improved. Here, the boost circuit can be boosted by a boost chip or a typical boost circuit.

[0032] 3 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation of a method for improving noise when shutting down an equipment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0033] In S301, when the motor is about to enter a stopped state, the external power supply side power source is cut off, and the bus voltage driving the motor is collected at a preset collection period.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the time when the motor is about to enter the stopped state may be when the device receives a stop command or when the device triggers a stop. The stop command may include a device stop command triggered by a stop button of the device. It may also include, but is not limited to, a device stop command triggered when the device battery power drops to a preset off power. Or, it may include a device stop command triggered when the device is disconnected from the power source.

[0035] The bus voltage in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a voltage of a power supply line of a power supply located on the electric equipment side of the equipment stop switch. The bus voltage may be collected by a voltage sensor, and the bus voltage may be identified by a voltage detection circuit, and the voltage detection circuit may be configured with a chip such as MIC833.

[0036] Here, the frequency of collecting the bus voltage or the collection period of the bus voltage may be preset, or the collection frequency may be adjusted based on the magnitude of the collected bus voltage. For example, the closer the bus voltage is to the first threshold voltage or the closer it is to the second threshold voltage, the more frequently the bus voltage is collected.

[0037] In S302, if the bus voltage is equal to or greater than a first preset threshold voltage, the motor is controlled to operate in an energy consuming braking state, and the kinetic energy of the motor is converted into thermal energy in the motor windings.

[0038] Here, the preset first threshold voltage is used to detect whether or not energy consumption braking is required. When the bus voltage is equal to or greater than the first threshold, energy consumption braking is initiated. In order to avoid damaging electrical components and the power supply when energy consumption braking is initiated, the first threshold voltage is less than a maximum safe voltage, which is a maximum bus voltage corresponding to a case where the driving circuit and the power supply can operate normally. When the bus voltage is greater than the first threshold voltage, the motor is controlled to operate in a braking energy consumption state, thereby reducing the bus voltage and avoiding damage to circuit components and the power supply due to an excessively large bus voltage.

[0039] When the motor is in an energy consumption braking state, the method may include placing a line in which a motor winding is located in a short circuit, and dissipating electrical energy due to rotation of the motor as heat via the motor winding in the short circuit.

[0040] The method of configuring the motor winding as a short circuit can be controlled in relation to the on / off of a power switch in the drive unit. For example, when the drive unit is a three-phase inverter circuit, the power switch in the three-phase inverter circuit is controlled to turn on the power switch of the lower arm in the three-phase inverter circuit, and the power switch of the upper arm in the three-phase inverter circuit is controlled to turn off, so that the power switch of the lower arm and the motor winding can form a short circuit.

[0041] In one embodiment, a pin of the motor winding is connected to an energy consuming switch, and when it is detected that the bus voltage is greater than a first preset threshold voltage, the energy consuming switch is controlled to be turned on, so that the motor winding forms a short circuit. Current generates thermal energy through the motor winding in the short circuit, thereby realizing the conversion between kinetic energy and thermal energy, and ensuring the braking function of the motor.

[0042] In S303, if the bus voltage is equal to or lower than a preset second threshold voltage, the kinetic energy of the motor is returned to the power supply end, and the bus voltage at the power supply end of the motor is increased.

[0043] Here, the first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage.

[0044] Here, the second threshold voltage should be greater than a minimum drive voltage, which is the voltage at the bus when the power switch can be normally driven, so that the power switch can be effectively driven even when the bus voltage is detected to be equal to or less than the second threshold voltage.

[0045] When the bus voltage is equal to or lower than the preset second threshold voltage, the boost chopper can boost the electric energy in the motor winding, and the boosted voltage is used to increase the voltage in the bus, so that the power switch in the device can be normally and effectively driven, and the chip can be ensured to operate normally without powering down, so that the device can perform the braking function continuously and stably. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the motor is converted into the electric energy of the device, and the power supply or capacitor of the device is charged, thereby realizing the conversion between kinetic energy and electric energy.

[0046] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating another method for improving noise in a motor-equipped device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which S401 to S403 are substantially the same as S301 to S303 in FIG. 3, and in S404, if the bus voltage is smaller than the first threshold voltage and larger than the second threshold voltage, the current braking method is maintained.

[0047] For example, when the current braking method detects that the bus voltage is smaller than the first threshold voltage and larger than the second threshold voltage while the motor is in the energy dissipation braking state, the motor will maintain its current operating state, i.e., operating in the energy dissipation braking state, in which the motor bus voltage gradually decreases, and when it decreases to the second threshold voltage, the motor will switch to the regenerative braking state and increase the bus voltage.

[0048] In the current braking method, when the motor operates in a regenerative braking state, i.e., the kinetic energy of the motor is fed back to the power supply source or the power supply end including the capacitor at the power supply end, and the bus voltage at the power supply end is increased. If it is detected that the bus voltage is smaller than the first threshold voltage and larger than the second threshold voltage, the regenerative braking state is maintained. In this state, the bus voltage may continue to rise until it reaches or exceeds the preset first threshold voltage, and the motor switches to an energy consumption braking state. A braking operation for braking the motor in response to the detection of the bus voltage is continued until the motor is stopped.

[0049] Motorized appliances according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include appliances equipped with a motor that regulates operation, such as a handheld vacuum cleaner.

[0050] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for improving stopping noise of a motorized device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] In S501, when the motor is about to enter a stopped state, the external power supply side power source is cut off, a preset desired stopping time is obtained, and one or more braking periods included in the desired stopping time are determined.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the desired downtime is a desired time from when the equipment enters a stopped state to when the equipment is completely stopped. The desired downtime can be determined based on parameters such as production requirements of the equipment and usage requirements of the user.

[0053] Based on the obtained desired stopping time, the desired stopping time can be divided into one or more braking periods in a uniform division manner. For example, the stopping time may be 1 second, and the divided braking periods may be 10. The duration of each braking period is 1 second / 10=100 milliseconds.

[0054] When determining the braking cycle, the desired stopping time may be divided based on a preset number of braking cycles, or based on the duration of the braking cycle. For example, if the desired stopping time is 1.5 seconds based on a preset braking cycle of 100 milliseconds, the desired stopping time can be divided into 15 braking cycles.

[0055] In S502, based on a set desired stopping time, during a first period within the braking cycle, a kinetic energy of the motor is converted into thermal energy in a motor winding by an energy consuming braking method.

[0056] In order to complete the stopping of the equipment within a set desired stopping time, it is necessary to determine the energy consumption braking period and the regenerative braking period in each braking cycle.

[0057] Here, dissipative braking refers to converting the kinetic energy of the motor into thermal energy in the motor windings, for example, the current due to the kinetic energy of the motor can be used to generate thermal energy through the motor windings, while regenerative braking refers to converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy in the motor bus by increasing the bus voltage of the motor.

[0058] The braking cycle includes a first period and a second period. The braking cycle may be composed of the first period and the second period, and in one embodiment, the sum of the first period and the second period may be a constant period in the braking cycle.

[0059] In the braking cycle, the stopping time of the motor can be shortened by energy consuming braking in a first period, so that the equipment can be stopped according to a set desired stopping time.

[0060] In S503, based on the set desired stopping time, in a second period within the braking cycle, the kinetic energy of the motor is returned to the power supply end by a regenerative braking method, and the bus voltage of the power supply end of the motor is increased.

[0061] Regenerative braking allows the kinetic energy of the motor to be converted into electrical energy and fed back to the motor bus, thereby extending the stopping time of the motor and allowing the motor to stop according to a set desired stopping time.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the desired stop time can be modified according to a setting requirement, and when the desired stop time is modified, the energy consumption braking period, the regenerative braking period, and the duration and number of braking cycles in the braking cycle are adjusted accordingly so that the stop time of the equipment matches the desired stop time.

[0063] During the use of the equipment, the actual stopping time may not match the desired stopping time due to changes in the motor or circuit performance of the equipment. The actual stopping time of the equipment can be collected and compared with the desired stopping time, and the regenerative braking period and the energy consuming braking period in the braking cycle of the equipment can be adjusted based on the comparison result.

[0064] For example, if it is detected that the actual stopping time of the equipment is longer than the desired stopping time during the Nth stopping process, the energy consumption braking period in the braking cycle can be adjusted, and the energy consumption braking period can be increased to achieve a reduction in the actual stopping time during the stopping process after the Nth stopping. For example, in a preset scheme, the braking cycle is 100 milliseconds, the energy consumption braking period is 50 milliseconds, and the regenerative braking period is 50 milliseconds. If it is detected that the actual stopping time is longer than the desired stopping time, the energy consumption braking period can be adjusted to 70 milliseconds, and the regenerative braking period can be adjusted to 30 milliseconds. In actual use, the adjustment can be updated based on the adjustment result until the actual stopping time after adjustment matches the desired stopping time.

[0065] Similarly, if the actual stopping time is less than the desired stopping time, an increase in the actual stopping time can be achieved by increasing the period of regenerative braking and decreasing the period of energy expending braking.

[0066] In one embodiment, the adjustment of the actual stopping time can be achieved by adjusting one of the parameters of the energy consumption braking period and the regenerative braking period.

[0067] It should be understood that the magnitude of the numbers of each step in the above embodiments does not indicate the order of execution, and the order of execution of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and is not a limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0068] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for improving stopping noise of an equipment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus comprising: a bus voltage collection unit 601 for cutting off an external power supply when the motor is about to enter a stopped state and collecting a bus voltage for driving the motor at a preset collection period; an energy-consuming braking unit 602 for receiving the bus voltage collected by the bus voltage collecting unit, and controlling the motor to operate in an energy-consuming braking state when the bus voltage is equal to or greater than a first preset threshold voltage, and converting the kinetic energy of the motor into thermal energy in a motor winding; a regenerative braking unit 603 for receiving the bus voltage collected by the bus voltage collecting unit, and returning the kinetic energy of the motor to a power supply end and increasing the bus voltage of the power supply end of the motor when the bus voltage is equal to or lower than a second threshold voltage; The first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage.
