Disclosed are a control apparatus for dynamically adjusting a phase switching of a DC motor and a method thereof. A rotor in the DC motor is divided into 2 M pole areas, wherein M is a positive integer not less than 1. The control apparatus comprises a phase detector, a current detector, a control circuit and a driving circuit. The phase detector detects the phase switching state of the pole areas to generate a standard phase signal. The current detector detects a current flowing through the DC motor in one of switching points of the standard phase signal to generate a current detection value. The control circuit periodically outputs 2 M drive signals, and determines to perform dynamically adjusting operation on the timing sequence of the drive signals according to the current detection value. The driving circuit receives the drive signals to perform the phase switching for driving the DC motor.

In a method for controlling an operation of an electric motor, electric voltages applied to electric phases of the electric motor are generated and output in a modulation in a controlled manner dependent on a rotor position of the electric motor and a target/actual comparison of at least one first variable which characterizes a load on the electric motor or an actual rotational speed of the electric motor. A rotor position angle, which characterizes the rotor position, is complemented with a specified preliminary control angle and another regulated preliminary control angle component upon reaching a field weakening range of the electric motor so as to form a sum angle.
