The utility model provides a motor
overvoltage protection device comprising a
software crash prevention unit, an input end of which is connected with a
control unit and is used for detecting abnormal information of the
control unit and generating control information; and the input end of the back
electromotive force protection unit is connected with the
software crash prevention unit, the output end of the back
electromotive force protection unit is connected with the motor driving unit, and the back
electromotive force protection unit is closed according to the control information, so that a lower bridge arm MOS tube of an
inverter circuit in the motor driving unit is conducted, and back electromotive force
electric energy in the motor is consumed. When the
software crash prevention unit detects abnormity, control information is generated, so that the back electromotive
force protection unit is closed, and then the back electromotive
force protection unit can convert back electromotive force
electric energy into
heat energy to be consumed by driving a lower bridge arm MOS tube of the
inverter circuit to be conducted, so that energy accumulation is avoided; the protection function in the motor
overvoltage protection device is completely realized by a hardware circuit, and the motor
overvoltage protection device can still work independently even when software fails or is powered down, so that the
system reliability is remarkably improved.
