Solution Overview

Problem

Permanent magnet synchronous motors face distortion and dynamic performance limitations due to non-linearity and external disturbances, which existing linear feedback control methods struggle to address effectively.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If linear feedback control is used for permanent magnet synchronous motor, then the control structure is simple, but the motor control suffers from distortion and poor dynamic response under various operating conditions due to non-linearity and external disturbances

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the nonlinear control system into a reduced-order subsystem by changing the parameters and structure of the control algorithm. It uses back-stepping sliding mode control with adaptive convergence gain to handle the non-linear characteristics and external disturbances, converting the complex nonlinear control problem into a more manageable form that maintains both simplicity and robustness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces adaptive convergence gain that dynamically adjusts the control parameters based on system state. This dynamic adjustment allows the controller to adapt to varying operating conditions and external disturbances, improving motor control performance without requiring a overly complex fixed-structure controller

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If adaptive convergence gain is used in back-stepping sliding mode control, then robustness to disturbances is improved, but the control algorithm complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses adaptive convergence gain that modifies control parameters based on system state, transforming a static control algorithm into a dynamic one. This allows the controller to maintain robustness against disturbances while managing complexity through structured adaptation rather than fully complex algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through the adaptive convergence gain that continuously monitors system performance and adjusts control parameters accordingly. This feedback loop provides robustness to disturbances while maintaining a relatively simple control structure through systematic parameter adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

There is provided an apparatus for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous motor in a permanent magnet synchronous motor system. The apparatus comprises a disturbance observation circuit unit configured to estimate concentrated disturbance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor using a nonlinear observation gain function; and a sliding mode controller configured to control the permanent magnet synchronous motor by reflecting the estimated concentrated disturbance in a position-current single-loop control in which back-stepping control and sliding mode control are integrated.
