Abstract

A motor response control method in a variable charge motion system in which a VCM motor is differentially controlled by a PWM duty regardless of back pressure of intake air in an intake manifold when a current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is less than a specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute in a VCM position learning state by a controller whereas the VCM motor is differentially controlled by the PWM duty based on the back pressure of intake air in the intake manifold when the current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is greater than the specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor response control method in a variable charge motion (VCM) system, comprising:
checking an initial position of a VCM motor according to an operation of the VCM motor by a controller;
applying a first PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) duty to the VCM motor and determining whether a current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is greater than a specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute in a VCM position checking completion state by the controller configured to differentially control the VCM motor;
determining any response by the VCM motor to back pressure of intake air in an intake manifold due to a magnitude relation between the current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute and the specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute;
applying a typical normal PWM duty to the VCM motor when the current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is less than the specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute; and
applying a rapid response PWM duty, based upon the determined back pressure of the intake air, to the VCM motor when the current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is greater than the specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute.

2. The motor response control method of claim 1 , wherein the first PWM duty applied by the controller in the VCM position checking completion state is 90%.

3. The motor response control method of claim 1 , wherein the specific engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute is 1500 RPM.

4. The motor response control method of claim 1 , wherein the typical normal PWM duty has a magnitude of 30% to 65% PWM duty applied to the VCM motor.

5. The motor response control method of claim 1 , wherein a magnitude of 30% PWM duty applied to the VCM motor is set as a criteria in the rapid response PWM duty, and the magnitude of the rapid response PWM duty is greater than the 30% PWM duty when the VCM motor closes a VCM valve installed on an intake air passage of the intake manifold whereas the magnitude of the rapid response PWM duty is less than the 30% PWM duty when the VCM motor opens the VCM valve.

6. The motor response control method of claim 5 , wherein the magnitude of the PWM duty which is greater or less than the 30% PWM duty is varied according to the current engine rotation speed in revolutions per minute.

7. The motor response control method of claim 1 , wherein the back pressure of the intake air is formed by a flow of outside air introduced from the atmosphere or a flow of outside air mixed with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) gas.
