Abstract

A motor-driving control system includes an actuator configured to generate rotational force by driving received current, a current provider configured to provide current to the actuator while repeatedly turning on and off the current at a preset period and duty, and a controller configured to estimate a rotation position or a rotation speed of the actuator in a section in which the current of the current provider is turned on or off and to control the current provider to follow a speed command based on the estimated rotation position or rotation speed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor-driving control system, comprising:
an actuator configured to generate rotational force by being driven using received current;
a current provider configured to provide current to the actuator while repeatedly turning on and off the current at a preset period and duty; and
a controller configured to:
estimate a rotation position or a rotation speed of the actuator in a section in which the current of the current provider is turned on or off; and
control the current provider to follow a speed command based on the estimated rotation position or rotation speed;

wherein the controller estimates the rotation speed of the actuator in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off based on a previous rotation speed, a damping coefficient of the actuator, an inertia moment coefficient of the actuator, a load torque of the actuator, and an estimated period of the rotation speed.

2. The motor-driving control system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to sense the current or a voltage applied to the actuator from the current provider,
wherein the controller estimates a counter-electromotive force generated in the actuator using the current or the voltage sensed by the sensor, and estimates the rotation position or the rotation speed of the actuator based on the counter-electromotive force in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned on.

3. The motor-driving control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller estimates the rotation position or the rotation speed of the actuator based on an equation of motion in which a rotational force formed by driving the actuator is assumed to be 0 in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off.

4. The motor-driving control system of claim 3 , wherein the controller estimates the rotation speed of the actuator using a following equation in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off:

where ω n is a current rotation speed, ω n-1 is a previous rotation speed, B is a damping coefficient of the actuator, J is an inertia moment coefficient of the actuator, T m is a load torque of the actuator, and Δt is an estimated period of the rotation speed.

5. The motor-driving control system of claim 4 , wherein the load torque of the actuator is estimated as a quadratic function for the rotation speed of the actuator using a following equation:
T m =αω n 2 +βω n ,

where α is a second-order coefficient, and β is a first-order coefficient.

6. The motor-driving control system of claim 5 , wherein the actuator is a motor installed in an aerodynamic force part or a hydraulic force part, and the second-order coefficient α and the first-order coefficient β are pre-mapped or preset depending on a pressure of the aerodynamic force part or the hydraulic force part.

7. The motor-driving control system of claim 1 , wherein the current provider is an inverter configured to control pulse width modulation (PWM) of current in three phases (U phase, V phase, and W phase) in the actuator.

8. The motor-driving control system of claim 7 , wherein the controller estimates the rotation position or the rotation speed of the actuator at a pulse width modulation (PWM) period in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off.

9. The motor-driving control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller includes a speed controller configured to generate a current command based on the speed command and the estimated rotation speed, and a current controller configured to generate a voltage command of the current provider based on the current command and the estimated rotation position.

10. A motor-driving control method comprising:
providing current, by a current provider, to an actuator configured to generate a rotational force from the current provider while repeatedly turning on and off the current at a preset period and duty;
estimating, by a controller, a rotation position or a rotation speed of the actuator in a section in which the current of the current provider is turned on or off; and
controlling, by the controller, the current provider to follow a speed command based on the estimated rotation position or rotation speed;
wherein estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed includes estimating a current rotation speed of the actuator in the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off based on a previous rotation speed, a damping coefficient of the actuator, an inertia moment coefficient of the actuator, a load torque of the actuator, and an estimated period of the rotation speed.

11. The motor-driving control method of claim 10 , further comprising:
prior to estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed, checking whether the section is the section in which the current of the current provider is turned on or the section in which the current is turned off.

12. The motor-driving control method of claim 11 , wherein in the checking, when the section is the section in which the current of the current provider is turned off, estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed includes estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed of the actuator based on an equation of motion in which a rotational force formed by driving the actuator is assumed to be 0.

13. The motor-driving control method of claim 12 , wherein:
the actuator is a motor installed in an aerodynamic force part or a hydraulic force part; and
estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed includes estimating the rotation position or the rotation speed of the actuator using a load torque received from the aerodynamic force part or the hydraulic force part by the actuator based on a previously estimated rotation speed of the actuator.

14. The motor-driving control method of claim 10 , wherein providing the current applied to the actuator while repeatedly turning on and off the current includes controlling pulse width modulation (PWM) of current in three phases (U phase, V phase, and W phase) in the actuator.
