Solution Overview

Problem

Existing single-phase brushless DC motors experience efficiency reduction and increased vibration noise due to backward warping of current wave modes, and the dead angle jitter phenomenon caused by hall elements leads to overloading and damage of internal components.

Innovation Solution

A single-phase motor with positive and negative turn detection is designed, featuring a master hall element at the leading position and a secondary hall element positioned to detect polarity changes, allowing for timely determination of dead angle jitter and prevention of overloading.

1Reliability

If a hall element is placed in a leading position to sense pole change in advance, then backward warping of current wave mode is avoided, but dead angle jitter phenomenon occurs causing overloading and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurrent wave mode stabilityVSAvoiddead angle jitter phenomenon
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A secondary hall element is introduced as an intermediary detection component positioned at a different angular location. This secondary element mediates the detection process by providing alternative pole change sensing information that helps identify and eliminate dead angle jitter phenomena, while the primary leading hall element continues to prevent current wave backward warping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The control device compares detection signals from both the leading hall element and the secondary hall element. When polarity changes are detected at different times or inconsistencies are found between the two sensors, the system identifies dead angle jitter and adjusts control accordingly, preventing overloading while maintaining the benefits of advance pole change detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If motor speed is increased, then productivity is improved, but back electromotive force increases causing current to lag behind voltage resulting in efficiency reduction and increased vibration noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor speedVSAvoidefficiency reduction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The control device continuously monitors detection signals from the hall elements and adjusts the driving frequency and phase angle in real-time based on the detected pole change timing. This feedback mechanism allows the motor to maintain optimal current-voltage alignment even at high speeds, preventing efficiency loss and reducing vibration noise caused by current lag.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The control system dynamically adjusts operating parameters including driving frequency and phase angle according to the detected rotor position and speed conditions. This dynamic adaptation enables the motor to maintain high efficiency across a wide speed range by optimizing current injection timing to match the back electromotive force characteristics at each operating point.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A single-phase motor with positive and negative turn detection, including a rotor assembly, a master hall element, a secondary hall element, and a control assembly. The rotor assembly includes a magnetic ring and a permanent magnet. The magnetic ring includes magnetic strips that are connected end to end. The permanent magnet includes a plurality of magnetic ends. The master hall element is located at a lead position of the permanent magnet. A jitter point is defined between one magnetic end corresponding to the master hall element and one magnetic end adjacent to the master hall element in the clockwise direction. The secondary hall element is located on a side facing the counter clockwise direction of the master hall element. A first angle between the secondary hall element and the master hall element is greater than a second angle between the jitter point and the lead position.
