Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The controllability of turning angles in motors with two independent stator coils is compromised due to differences in detection values from rotation angle sensors, leading to potential decreases in motor torque control and stability.
Innovation Solution
A control device with two processing circuits that communicate and perform specific operation amount calculations to feedback-control convertible angles, using integral elements to adjust and stabilize torque, and switch between operation processes to manage differences in sensor detection values, thereby maintaining motor torque and controllability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate microcomputers control d/q-axis currents based on detection values from separate rotation angle sensors, then system redundancy is improved, but controllability of turning angle decreases due to differences between detection values
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an angle feedback unit as an intermediary that mediates between the two independent control units. This unit receives detection angles from both microcomputers, calculates the angle difference, and performs correction processing to reduce the error between the two detection systems, thereby maintaining controllability while preserving redundancy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements an angle feedback control mechanism where the angle feedback unit continuously monitors the difference between detection angles from the two sensors and feeds back correction signals to reduce this difference, ensuring that the redundant system maintains consistent controllability
2Measurement precision
If feedback control is performed on detection values to make them equal to target value, then angle accuracy is improved, but controllability decreases due to differences between sensor detection values
Solution Approach 1:
The angle feedback unit serves as an intermediary that processes detection angles from both sensors before feedback control is applied. It calculates the difference between the two detection angles and performs correction processing, ensuring that feedback control is applied to corrected values rather than raw sensor values, thereby maintaining both accuracy and controllability
3Stability of the object's composition
If integral element is used to calculate operation amount for feedback control, then torque stability is improved, but sudden torque change occurs when switching between first and second use and operation processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing removal processing of the integral element's influence before switching from the first use and operation process to the second use and operation process. This preventive measure eliminates the accumulated integral value that would otherwise cause sudden torque changes during switching, thereby maintaining both torque stability and switching reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The removal processing of the integral element's influence before switching acts as a preliminary anti-action against the potential harmful effect of sudden torque changes. By counteracting the accumulated integral value in advance, the system prevents the adverse effect of torque instability during process switching
