Solution Overview

Problem

The permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) is unsuitable for traditional magnetic pole offset angle learning methods, making it difficult to effectively detect and obtain the correct magnetic pole offset angle, which is crucial for improving motor drive system control performance.

Innovation Solution

A motor detection method and device that includes providing an excitation current command to drive the motor to rotate at specific angles, detecting feedback angles using an encoder, and calculating the magnetic pole offset angle using the first and second feedback angles, with the option to add a third angle when the second feedback angle is greater than the first, to correct the offset.

Solution Approach 1:

The detection process is divided into multiple discrete steps: setting different excitation currents, rotating the motor to specific positions, detecting feedback angles at each position, and calculating the offset angle through comparison. This segmentation allows accurate measurement without requiring complex detection equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The method performs preliminary actions by first rotating the motor to a first position and detecting the first feedback angle, then rotating to a second position and detecting the second feedback angle before calculating the offset. This preliminary data collection enables accurate offset angle determination for PMaSynRM.

Solution Approach 1:

The detection method uses periodic actions by rotating the motor to specific positions (first position, then second position) and performing detection at each position in sequence. This structured periodic approach ensures accurate data collection while maintaining efficient timing.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The method skips unnecessary intermediate steps by directly rotating to the required positions and performing measurements. By rushing through the essential detection steps at critical positions rather than continuous monitoring, the system achieves high accuracy without excessive learning time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
