Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A motor apparatus includes a full-pitch winding type reluctance motor which has three phase coils formed of full-pitch windings, and a controller which controls applying current to each coil of the three phases. When changing from a state where current is applied to a first phase coil and a second phase coil to a state where current is applied to a third phase coil and the first phase coil, the controller displaces the timing when decreasing the current of the second phase coil is started and the timing when increasing the current of the third phase coil is started from each other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A motor apparatus, comprising: a full-pitch winding type reluctance motor which has three phase coils formed of full-pitch windings, wherein inductive voltage will be generated in a winding of each phase of the three phase coils due to magnetic fluxes, generated by applying current, interlinking with the winding of all phase of the three phase coils; and a controller which controls applying current to each coil of the three phases, wherein when changing from a state where current is applied to a first phase coil and a second phase coil for generating magnetic fluxes to first torque generating magnetic poles to a state where current is applied to a third phase coil and the first phase coil for generating magnetic fluxes to second torque generating magnetic poles, the controller turns off current-carrying of the second phase coil, while current-carrying of the first phase coil is in an on state, to start decreasing the current of the second phase coil, and then the controller turns on current-carrying of the third phase coil to start increasing the current of the third phase coil. 2. The motor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when changing from a state where current is applied to the first phase coil and the second phase coil for generating magnetic fluxes to the first torque generating magnetic poles to a state where current is applied to the third phase coil and the first phase coil for generating magnetic fluxes to the second torque generating magnetic poles, the controller starts increasing the current of the third phase coil, after decreasing the current of the second phase coil is started and then the current of the second phase coil is decreased by a predetermined amount. 3. The motor apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the timing of the start of increasing the current of the third phase coil is earlier than the timing when a stator salient pole between the third phase coil and the first phase coil starts overlapping a rotor salient pole. 4. The motor apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the timing of the start of decreasing the current of the second phase coil is earlier than the timing when a stator salient pole between the first phase coil and the second phase coil finishes overlapping a rotor salient pole. 5. The motor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the timing of the start of increasing the current of the third phase coil is earlier than the timing when a stator salient pole between the third phase coil and the first phase coil starts overlapping a rotor salient pole. 6. The motor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the timing of the start of decreasing the current of the second phase coil is earlier than the timing when a stator salient pole between the first phase coil and the second phase coil finishes overlapping a rotor salient pole. 7. The motor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the full-pitch winding type reluctance motor includes a rotor having salient poles and a stator having salient poles.
