Solution Overview
Problem
Synchronous motors experience reduced power efficiency due to the product of back electromotive force (Bemf) and motor current being out of phase, resulting in negative torque acting against positive torque, which decreases motor efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A motor driving circuit with a controllable bidirectional AC switch and a processing unit that detects zero voltage crossing points and voltage polarity to control the switch's on and off states based on the magnetic pole position of the rotor, reducing the phase difference between Bemf and motor current by delaying the switch-on time after a zero voltage crossing point.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the controllable bidirectional AC switch is turned on immediately at the zero voltage crossing point, then the motor starts quickly, but the phase difference between back electromotive force and motor current increases, causing negative torque and reduced power efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The processing unit performs preliminary detection of the zero voltage crossing point and voltage polarity before controlling the AC switch. By anticipating the optimal switching moment based on detected parameters and pre-calculated delay times, the system prepares the switching action in advance, ensuring both quick response and proper phase alignment for energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the delay time based on detected voltage polarity and magnetic pole position. The processing unit selects different delay times from a plurality of predefined values depending on the detected parameters, making the switching timing adaptive and dynamic rather than fixed, thereby optimizing both speed and efficiency under different operating conditions.
2Device complexity
If a fixed delay time is used after zero voltage crossing point, then the circuit control is simple, but it cannot adapt to different voltage polarities and magnetic pole positions, reducing motor efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The control system transitions from a static fixed delay to a dynamic adaptive delay mechanism. The processing unit detects voltage polarity and magnetic pole position in real-time, then selects appropriate delay times from a plurality of predefined values. This dynamic adjustment optimizes motor efficiency for different operating conditions while maintaining relatively simple circuit implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the delay time parameter based on detected operating conditions. By having a plurality of predefined delay times and selecting the appropriate one based on voltage polarity and magnetic pole position, the system effectively changes key timing parameters to optimize performance without requiring complex real-time calculation circuits.
3Ease of operation
If the AC switch is controlled without detecting voltage polarity and magnetic pole position, then the control method is simple, but negative torque occurs due to phase misalignment between back electromotive force and motor current
Solution Approach 1:
The processing unit implements feedback by detecting the voltage polarity and magnetic pole position, then using this information to determine the appropriate delay time for AC switch control. This feedback loop ensures the switching timing is aligned with the actual motor state, preventing negative torque while maintaining relatively simple control implementation through predefined delay selections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of voltage polarity and magnetic pole position before executing the switching control. By detecting these parameters in advance and pre-selecting the appropriate delay time, the system ensures proper phase alignment is achieved before the actual switching action, preventing harmful negative torque effects.
