Description

Motors and articles

[0001] The present disclosure relates to motors and articles.

[0002] In magnetic levitation control, in which the rotor (rotating part) is supported by the stator (fixed part) in a non-contact manner, planar control, which controls the rotor's position on a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, and rotation control of the rotor along the rotation axis are simultaneously performed. Planar control controls the rotor's planar position by detecting the distance to the rotor using a position detection unit (displacement sensor, etc.) attached to the stator. Rotation control controls the rotation direction by detecting the rotation angle using an angle detection unit (optical encoder, etc.) attached to the stator that reads a detection target (optical scale, etc.) attached to the rotor.

[0003] As an example of planar control, when the rotor is transitioned from a seated state to a levitated state, the controller calculates the rotor's current position from the value of the position detector read every control cycle, calculates the required torque from the difference with the target position, and passes a current corresponding to the torque through the coil to transition to the levitated state.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which a rotor is levitated and supported by electromagnets, the radial and axial positions of the rotor are detected by sensors, and the power supply to the electromagnets is controlled so that the rotor is levitated and supported concentrically with the center of the stator. Patent Document 2 also discloses a method in which a movable frame provided on the stator is used to solve the problem of the rotor's center of rotation being shifted when zero power control is performed on a rotor rotating within a stator. These technologies enable effective control of the rotor's planarity.

[0006] If a displacement of the plane occurs when rotation control is performed in addition to planar control, the angle detection means may erroneously recognize that the rotor has rotated, and the rotation angle may not be calculated accurately.

[0007] One embodiment of the present disclosure is a motor having a rotating unit and a fixed unit, comprising: a scale provided on one of the rotating unit and the fixed unit; a rotation angle detection unit provided on the other of the rotating unit and the fixed unit and detecting a rotation angle by reading the scale; a position detection unit that detects a position of the rotating unit; and a control unit that controls the rotating unit, wherein the control unit controls the rotating unit based on a control rotation angle derived from the rotation angle and the position.

[0008] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, an accurate rotation angle of the rotor can be obtained, and stable magnetic levitation control can be performed.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a magnetic levitation device according to a first embodiment. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a magnetic levitation device according to a first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram according to the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram according to a second embodiment. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram according to a third embodiment. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of scales according to other embodiments.

[0010] First Embodiment A first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 4. In the following description, the -Z direction in the figures is the direction of gravity.

[0011] First, the phenomenon in which a displacement on a plane is recognized as a rotation of the rotor will be explained using Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the stator and rotor that make up the magnetic levitation device. In Figure 1, the coordinate axes are +X to the right, +Z upward, and +ThY clockwise.

[0012] The stator 11 is a fixed part having a coil array 12 for controlling the position and rotation angle of the rotor 21. The rotor 21 is a rotating part having a magnet array 22 in the circumferential direction. The electromagnetic force acting between the coil array 12 and the magnet array 22 enables planar control in at least the XZ plane and rotation control around the rotation axis.

[0013] The rotor 21 has an optical scale 32 arranged in a circular ring shape on the XZ plane (i.e., on the bottom surface of the cylindrical rotor 21). The optical scale 32 has, for example, a configuration in which light-reflecting portions (white) and light-transmitting portions (black) are arranged alternately.

[0014] The stator 11 has an optical encoder 31 attached to the circumference of an optical scale 32. The optical encoder 31 emits light toward the optical scale 32 and detects a change in the reflected light from the optical scale 32 that occurs when the rotor 21 operates, thereby recognizing that the rotor 21 has rotated.

[0015] 1, the optical encoder 31 is used to detect the rotation of the rotor 21 around the rotation axis. However, when planar control and rotation control are performed simultaneously, the value detected by the optical encoder 31 changes depending on the planar displacement and the rotation angle displacement, making it difficult to detect only the rotation angle separately.

[0016] For example, if the rotor 21 does not rotate but a small displacement occurs in the planar direction, the reflected light from the optical scale 32 detected by the optical encoder 31 may change, which may result in a false recognition that rotation has occurred. If such a false recognition occurs, control may be performed to return the falsely recognized rotation to its original state, even though no rotation has occurred.

[0017] 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams of the overall configuration of the magnetic levitation device according to this embodiment. In Fig. 2A, the coordinate axes are +X to the right, +Z upward, +Y from the front to the back, and +ThY clockwise. In Fig. 2B, the coordinate axes are +Y to the right, +Z upward, and +X from the back to the front.

[0018] The magnetic levitation device is composed of a stator 11, a rotor 21, and a control unit 51. The stator 11 has two rows of coil arrays 12 on its top surface (+Z direction) that are offset in the Y-axis direction. The stator 11 has bearing members 13 at two locations, one at the front and one at the back in the Y-axis direction, that extend from its bottom surface (-Z direction) in the +Z direction. The bearing member 13 has a hole in the part that becomes the rotation axis, and receives the shaft portion of the rotor 21.

[0019] The stator 11 has an optical encoder 31 at a position facing the optical scale 32. The optical encoder 31 detects the optical scale 32 to obtain the rotation angle of the rotor 21.

[0020] The stator 11 has an X sensor 41. The position of the rotor 21 in the X direction is measured by detecting the distance from the X sensor 41 to the surface of the rotor 21. The stator 11 also has a Z sensor 42, and the position of the rotor 21 in the Z direction is measured by detecting the distance from the Z sensor 42 to the surface of the rotor 21.

[0021] The rotor 21 has two magnet rows 22 arranged along the circumferential direction of its side surface. The magnet rows 22 are arranged to face the coil row 12. The rotor 21 also has an optical scale 32 arranged in an annular shape on the XZ plane. The rotor 21 also has a shaft portion that abuts against the bearing member 13 at two points in the Y-axis direction.

[0022] The coil array 12 and the magnet array 22 are arranged in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis. An electromagnetic force generated by a current flowing through the coil array 12 acts on the two sets of coil arrays 12 and magnet arrays 22, enabling planar control in at least the XZ plane and rotational control about the ThY axis.

[0023] The control unit 51 has an acquisition unit 52 and a driver 53. The acquisition unit 52 acquires values ​​from the optical encoder 31, the X sensor 41, and the Z sensor 42 at predetermined intervals. The control unit 51 also calculates a current value that achieves a desired operation and inputs it to the driver 53. The driver 53 controls the current value of the coil array 12, thereby controlling the rotor 21 by the electromagnetic force with the magnet array 22.

[0024] Using Figure 3, we will derive equations for calculating the positional displacement DS and rotational displacement DE when the rotor 21 moves in the planar direction and rotational direction. In Figure 3, the coordinate axes are +X to the right, +Z upward, and +ThY clockwise.

[0025] The rotor 21 has an optical scale 32 on the XZ plane. The stator 11 has an encoder E on the circumference of the optical scale 32. The encoder E detects the optical scale 32 to obtain the rotation angle.

[0026] The stator 11 has a sensor S positioned such that its distance measurement axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotor 21, and obtains the distance to the surface of the rotor 21 as seen from the sensor S. In other words, the sensor S is a position detection unit that detects the position of the rotor 21. The detection axis of the sensor S and the detection axis of the encoder E are arranged perpendicular to each other. Here, "perpendicular" does not only mean that the detection axis of the sensor S and the detection axis of the encoder E are at 90°, but also includes cases where they are substantially perpendicular, including actual installation errors of the sensor S and the encoder E. For example, a state including an error of about ±1° is also considered to be "perpendicular."

[0027] The control unit 51 acquires the values ​​of the sensor S and the encoder E at every predetermined period. The control unit 51 also stores the acquired values ​​of the sensor S and the encoder E. The control unit 51 derives a displacement DS, which is the difference between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle acquired from the sensor S at every predetermined period, and a displacement DE of the encoder E, which is the difference between the first position and the second position acquired from the encoder E at every predetermined period.

[0028] Considering the negative side of the X-axis as the reference axis for the mounting angle, with clockwise being the positive direction, Th_E is the mounting angle of encoder E, and Th_S is the mounting angle of sensor S. DX is the displacement in the X direction that occurs in rotor 21. DZ is the displacement in the Z direction that occurs in rotor 21. DR is the rotational displacement in the ThY direction that occurs in rotor 21. r is the distance from the center of rotation of rotor 21 to the mounting position of encoder E.

[0029] At this time, the displacement DE of the value of the encoder E is expressed by the following formula 1: DE=DX·sin(Th_E)+DZ·cos(Th_E)+r·DR (Formula 1)

[0030] The change DS in the value of the sensor S is expressed by the following formula 2: DS=DZ·sin(Th_S)−DX·cos(Th_S) (Formula 2)

[0031] Fig. 4 shows a method in which the control unit 51 calculates the control rotation angle DR from Equation 1. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a case in which the mounting angle Th_E of sensor E and the mounting angle S of sensor S are different from those in Fig. 3. Fig. 4 shows a case in which the mounting angle Th_E of sensor E and the mounting angle Th_S of sensor S are not (π / 2)*n (n is an integer), that is, a case in which the mounting positions of sensor E and sensor S are not on the X-axis or the Z-axis.

[0032] The value of the setting angle Th_E is π because the encoder E is disposed on the positive side of the X axis. The value of the setting angle Th_S is (π / 2) because the sensor S is disposed on the positive side of the Z axis. Therefore, Th_S can be expressed by the following equation 3. Th_S = Th_E - π / 2 (Equation 3)

[0033] Here, by substituting Equation 3 into Equation 2, the following Equation 4 is obtained: DS=-DZ·cos(Th_E)-DX·sin(Th_E) (Equation 4)

[0034] Furthermore, by adding and rearranging Equation 1 and Equation 4, the following Equation 5 is obtained: DR=(DE+DS) / r (Equation 5)

[0035] Equation 5 shows that when the mounting angle between the encoder E and the sensor S is a right angle and Th_E is larger than Th_S, the control rotation angle DR can be derived from the sum of the displacement DE of the encoder E and the displacement DS of the sensor S.

[0036] On the other hand, when the mounting angle between the encoder E and the sensor S is a right angle and Th_E is smaller than Th_S, Th_S can be expressed by the following equation 6: Th_S=Th_E+π / 2 (Equation 6)

[0037] Substituting Equation 6 into Equation 2, the following Equation 7 is obtained: DS=DZ·cos(Th_E)+DX·sin(Th_E) (Equation 7)

[0038] By subtracting Equation 7 from Equation 1 and rearranging it, the following Equation 8 is obtained: DR=(DE-DS) / r (Equation 8)

[0039] Equation 8 shows that when the mounting angle between encoder E and sensor S is a right angle and Th_E is smaller than Th_S, the control rotation angle DR can be derived from the difference between the displacement DE of encoder E and the displacement DS of sensor S.

[0040] Furthermore, even if the mounting angle Th_E of encoder E and the mounting angle Th_S of sensor S are not (π / 2)*n (n is an integer), that is, if the mounting position is not on the X-axis or Z-axis, the control rotation angle DR can be calculated using the above formula. Specifically, if Th_E-Th_S is +π / 2, the control rotation angle DR can be calculated using formula 5, and if it is -π / 2, the control rotation angle DR can be calculated using formula 8.

[0041] The control rotation angle DR derived as described above is a rotation angle that is less affected by the displacement of the rotor 21 in the XZ plane. By performing rotation control using this control rotation angle DR, stable magnetic levitation control can be performed.

[0042] Second Embodiment A second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, the coordinate axes are +X for the right direction, +Z for the upward direction, and +ThY for the clockwise direction. The second embodiment is a case in which two sensors are arranged to detect the position of the rotor 21 in the XZ plane. For example, even if the encoder and the sensor cannot be arranged orthogonally due to various constraints such as the arrangement of the magnetic levitation device, the rotation angle can be derived by using one encoder and two sensors that measure the position of the rotor 21.

[0043] The rotor 21 has an optical scale 32 on the XZ plane. The stator 11 has an encoder E on the circumference of the optical scale 32. The encoder E detects the optical scale 32 to obtain a rotation angle DE.

[0044] The stator 11 has a sensor S1 at a position where its distance measurement axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotor 21. The sensor S1 measures the distance to the surface of the rotor 21. The stator 11 has a sensor S2 at a position where its distance measurement axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotor 21. The sensor S2 measures the distance to the surface of the rotor 21.

[0045] The control unit 51 acquires the values ​​of the encoder E, the sensor S1, and the sensor S2 at predetermined intervals. The control unit 51 also stores the acquired values ​​of the encoder E, the sensor S1, and the sensor S2. The control unit 51 also derives the displacement DE from the value detected by the encoder E, the displacement DS1 from the value detected by the sensor S1, and the displacement DS2 from the value detected by the sensor S2.

[0046] When the negative side of the X-axis is used as the reference and the clockwise direction is used as the positive direction, Th_E is the mounting angle of encoder E, Th_S1 is the mounting angle of sensor S1, and Th_S2 is the mounting angle of sensor S2.

[0047] DX is the displacement in the X-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. DZ is the displacement in the Z-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. DR is the rotational displacement in the ThY-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. r is the distance from the center of rotation of the rotor 21 to the mounting position of the encoder E.

[0048] The displacement DE of the value of the encoder E is expressed by the above-mentioned formula 1. Furthermore, the displacement DS1, which is the change in the value of the sensor S1, is expressed by the following formula 9. DS1=DZ·sin(Th_S1)−DX·cos(Th_S1) (Formula 9)

[0049] Further, the displacement DS2, which is the change in the value of the sensor S2, is expressed by the following formula 10: DS2=DZ·sin(Th_S2)−DX·cos(Th_S2) (Formula 10)

[0050] By simultaneously solving Equation 9 and Equation 10, the following Equations 11 and 12 are obtained. DX=(DS1·sin(Th_S2)−DS2·sin(Th_S1)) / sin(Th_S1−Th_S2) (Equation 11) DZ=(DS2·sin(Th_S1)−DS1·sin(Th_S2)) / sin(Th_S1−Th_S2) (Equation 12)

[0051] Here, if the sensors S1 and S2 are opposed to each other, the denominators of the formulas 11 and 12 will be 0. Therefore, when the control rotation angle is determined using a pair of sensors as in this embodiment, the sensors need to be positioned so that they do not face each other.

[0052] Substituting equations 11 and 12 into equation 1 and rearranging, the following equation 13 is obtained: DR=DE / r+{(sin(Th_E)-cos(Th_E))·(DS2·sin(Th_S1)-DS1·sin(Th_S2)) / (r·sin(Th_S1-Th_S2))} (Equation 13)

[0053] Using Equation 13, the control rotation angle DR can be derived when two sensors, sensor S1 and sensor S2, are provided. Even if the encoder and the sensor cannot be arranged orthogonally, by using two sensors, it is possible to derive a rotation angle that is free from the influence of displacement of the rotor 21 in the XZ plane.

[0054] Third Embodiment A third embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 6. The coordinate axes are +X for the right direction, +Z for the upward direction, and +ThY for the clockwise direction.

[0055] For example, even if it is not possible to place a sensor outside the rotor due to various constraints such as the placement of the magnetic levitation device, the rotation angle can be derived by using two diagonally placed encoders.

[0056] The rotor 21 has an optical scale 32 on the XZ plane. The stator 11 has encoders E1 and E2 on the circumference of the optical scale 32. The encoder E1 detects the optical scale 32 to obtain a rotation angle. The encoder E2 detects the optical scale 32 to obtain a rotation angle.

[0057] The control unit 51 acquires the values ​​of the encoders E1 and E2 at predetermined intervals. The control unit 51 also stores the acquired values ​​of the encoders E1 and E2. The control unit 51 also stores the acquired values ​​of the encoders E1 and E2. The control unit 51 derives a displacement DE1 from the value detected by the encoder E1 and a displacement DE2 from the value detected by the encoder E2.

[0058] When the negative side of the X-axis is used as the reference axis for the setting angle and clockwise is the positive direction, Th_E1 is the setting angle of encoder E1, and Th_E2 is the setting angle of encoder E2. E1 and E2 are arranged diagonally, and Th_E1 is expressed by the following equation 14. Th_E1=Th_E2-π (Equation 14)

[0059] DX is the displacement in the X-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. DZ is the displacement in the Z-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. DR is the rotational displacement in the ThY-axis direction generated in the rotor 21. r is the distance from the center of rotation of the rotor 21 to the mounting position of the encoder E.

[0060] The displacement DE1 of the value of the encoder E1 is given by the following formula 15: DE1=DX·sin(Th_E1)+DZ·cos(Th_E1)+r·DR (Formula 15)

[0061] The displacement DE2 of the value of the encoder E2 is given by the following formula 16: DE2=DX·sin(Th_E2)+DZ·cos(Th_E2)+r·DR (Formula 16)

[0062] Substituting Equation 14 into Equation 15, the following Equation 17 is obtained: DE1=-DX·sin(Th_E2)-DZ·cos(Th_E2)+r·DR (Equation 17)

[0063] Adding and transforming Equation 16 and Equation 17, we obtain the following Equation 18: DR = (DE1 + DE2) / 2r (Equation 18)

[0064] The control rotation angle DR when two encoders are provided can be derived from Equation 18. Even in cases where it is not possible to place a sensor outside the rotor, by using two diagonally arranged encoders, it is possible to derive a rotation angle that is free from the influence of displacement of the rotor 21 in the XZ plane.

[0065] Other Embodiments The technology of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications are possible within the technical concept of the present disclosure. For example, the motors of the first to third embodiments may function as components of an item that requires rotational force.

[0066] 7, the optical scale 32 may be provided on the outer periphery of the rotor 21 (i.e., on the cylindrical side surface of the cylindrical rotor 21). In this case, the detection axis of the optical encoder 31 is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the Y axis. The optical encoder 31 detects the optical scale 32 from the +X axis side with the detection axis parallel to the X axis.

[0067] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, a configuration has been described in which the coil array 12 of the stator 11 is provided on the outside and the magnet array 22 of the rotor 21 is provided on the inside, but for example, a configuration in which the coil array 12 of the stator 11 is provided on the inside and the magnet array 22 of the rotor 21 is provided on the outside may also be used.

[0068] In addition, in the above embodiments, the difference between the previous value and the current value is used to determine the displacement of the encoder or sensor value, but this is not limited to this. For example, a pre-stored ideal position and rotation angle may be stored as a reference position and reference rotation angle, respectively, and the difference between the acquired value and the reference position and reference rotation angle may be used as the displacement to derive the control rotation angle DR.

[0069] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, an optical encoder is used as the rotation angle detection unit and an optical scale is used as the detected unit, but other known means such as a magnetic encoder or a magnetic scale may also be used.
