Systems and methods for calculating motor position, inertia and rest position in sensorless brushed DC motor control systems, and for determining seat occupant weight based on motor current
A system includes a motor control module and an occupant weight classification module. The motor control module is configured to supply power to a motor to move a seat in a first direction from a first position to a second position when the seat is unoccupied and supply power to the motor to move the seat in a second direction from a third position to a fourth position when an occupant is in the seat. The occupant weight classification module is configured to measure a first frequency of ripples in current supplied to the motor as the seat is moved from the first position to the second position, measure a second frequency of ripples in the current supplied to the motor as the seat is moved from the third position to the fourth position, and determine a weight of the occupant based on the first and second frequencies.
Condition monitoring device for monitoring operations of motor
The present disclosure discloses a Condition Monitoring Device (CDM), configured to monitor power consumption and loading of motor. The CDM receives value of a measured current in a stator of the motor, and measures at least one of a magnetic flux around the motor and vibrations in the motor. The magnetic flux, the vibrations and the current in the stator are measured within a predefined time window. The CDM calculates various parameters of the motor and estimates a value of current using the measurements and rated parameters stored in the CDM. The estimated parameter of current is compared with the measured value of current. A value of rotor speed (one of the rated parameters) is varied until the value of the estimated current is approximately equal to the value of the measured current. The value of current is considered to monitor power consumption and loading of the motor.
