Abstract

A voltage detection section and current detection section detect a voltage and current supplied to a motor, and the detected voltage and current are supplied to a position detection section. An angular speed output from the position detection section is supplied to a differentiator to output an angular acceleration. A fundamental wave component extraction section extracts a fundamental wave component of the angular acceleration, and the extracted fundamental wave component is supplied to an amplitude adjustment section. The output of the amplitude adjustment section is subtracted from the average current command by a subtraction section. This subtraction result, current detection value, and the rotor position from the position detection section are supplied to a current control section to carry out the current control operation so as to obtain a current command. The current command is supplied to an inverter to control the voltage and current so as to suppress the speed changing due to the load torque changing. Thus, stability is improved, and a decrease in cost is realized.

Claims

1. A motor controlling method for controlling a voltage or current supplied to a motor from an inverter, the method comprising:

outputting negative torque and positive torque per one rotation from the motor so as to suppress a change in a rotation speed of the motor by negating a fundamental wave component of residual torque of the periodical load and output torque of the motor with respect to a periodical load, a period of the periodical load corresponding to one rotation of the motor; and

utilizing a power regenerated during an operation of said negative torque for driving the motor.

2. The motor controlling method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising

carrying out a compensation operation for dead time.

3. The motor controlling method as set forth in claim 1, wherein

the periodical load changes at least once per rotation.

4. The motor controlling method as set forth in claim 3, wherein

the periodical load changes twice per rotation.

5. A motor controlling apparatus for controlling a voltage or current supplied to a motor from an inverter, wherein the apparatus employs an inverter which lets the motor output positive torque and negative torque per one rotation from the motor so as to suppress a change in a rotation speed of the motor by negating a fundamental wave component of residual torque of the periodical load and output torque of the motor with respect to a periodical load, and utilizes a power regenerated during an above operation of said negative torque for driving the motor, a period of the periodical load corresponding to one rotation of the motor.

6. The motor controlling apparatus as set forth in claim 5, wherein

the inverter further carries out a compensation operation for dead time.

7. The motor controlling apparatus as set forth in claim 5, wherein

the periodical load changes at least once per rotation.

8. The motor controlling apparatus as set forth in claim 7, wherein

the periodical load changes twice per rotation.
