Patent ID: 11894787

Abstract:
A drive system for a BLDC motor having poles implemented by separate coils that are activated in corresponding phases, which comprises a controller for controlling the level and phase of input voltages supplied to the separate coils; a controlled inverter with outputs, for applying phase-separated input voltages to each of the separate coils at desired timing for each input voltage, determined by the controller; a power source for feeding power to the controlled inverter; an up/down DC-DC converter for converting the feeding power to the input voltages according to a command signal provided by the controller. The controller is adapted to sample the instantaneous angle of the rotor of the BLDC motor; sample the input voltage input voltage and the current of each phase to obtain the input power P; and for each input voltage, calculate the phase difference value that corresponds to the input power and feeds the phase difference value to the up/down DC-DC converter, thereby causing the up/down DC-DC converter to apply each input voltage to its corresponding coil at a specific timing for obtaining an optimal match between each input voltage and the current that is being built up in the corresponding coil.
