Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The phase deviation detection and compensation method for subdivided signals in absolute encoders is limited by the Analog-to-Digital (AD) sampling ratio, leading to worsened high-frequency detection results and insufficient high-frequency phase compensation accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that acquire and convert sine and cosine analog signals to digital signals, controlling a sampler to sample based on pulse edge variations to determine and compensate for phase deviations, thereby reducing the required AD sampling ratio and improving high-frequency phase compensation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the AD sampling ratio is increased to improve high-frequency phase detection accuracy, then the measurement precision improves, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an edge detection mechanism as an intermediary between the analog signals and the AD converter. By detecting pulse edges and using these edges to trigger sampling, the system achieves accurate phase detection without requiring a high continuous sampling rate, thus reducing the complexity and cost of the AD sampling system while maintaining measurement precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If the AD sampling ratio is increased to improve high-frequency phase compensation accuracy, then the manufacturing precision improves, but the loss of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic sampling triggered by pulse edges rather than continuous high-frequency sampling. The sampler operates periodically at edge transitions, which reduces the overall energy consumption while still capturing the necessary phase information for accurate high-frequency compensation, thus improving manufacturing precision without excessive energy loss.
3Device complexity
If conventional phase deviation detection method is used, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision deteriorates at high frequencies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic sampling strategy where the sampling timing is adaptively determined by pulse edge detection rather than a fixed sampling rate. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain low complexity while achieving high measurement precision at high frequencies by concentrating sampling resources at critical moments (edge transitions) where phase information is most significant.

AI summary
A phase deviation compensation method and device are provided. The method may include: a first sine analog signal and a first cosine analog signal are acquired; the first sine analog signal is converted to a corresponding first sine digital signal, and the first cosine analog signal is converted to a corresponding first cosine digital signal; a sampler is controlled to sample the first sine analog signal and the first cosine analog signal according to variations of pulse edges of the first sine digital signal and the first cosine digital signal, to acquire at least one sine sampled signal and at least one cosine sampled signal; a phase deviation is determined; and phase compensation is performed on the at least one sine sampled signal and the at least one cosine sampled signal according to the phase deviation. The phase deviation compensation method and the phase deviation compensation apparatus solve the problem that a phase deviation detection and compensation method of a subdivided signal of an absolute encoder in the related art is limited by an AD sampling ratio, and accordingly a high-frequency detection result is worsened, and high-frequency phase compensation accuracy is not ensured.
