BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR BRAKING SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present disclosure discloses a brushless DC motor braking system and method. during the braking process of the brushless DC motor, the busbar voltage value is controlled to always be between the high threshold of the busbar voltage and low threshold of the busbar voltage through the brake control module; and different PWM modulation signals are used to control the brushless DC motor 4 to perform slow braking until stopping based on different busbar voltage states. Thus, in the present disclosure, the method not only ensures that the busbar voltage value continues to be maintained between the high threshold of the busbar voltage and low threshold of the busbar voltage, thereby protecting electronic components and circuits and extending their service life; but also avoids the hard braking method of direct conduction of the three lower transistors of the three-phase inverter in related arts.
Systems and methods for operating a linear motor to prevent impacts with hard stops
Systems and methods for operating a linear motor (e.g., for an ESP), where the motor's mover moves in a reciprocating motion within a bore of the stator. Hard stops are located at the ends of the bore. The motor has a first set of sensors in the stator positioned proximate to the bore. When the mover moves in the bore, the sensors produce corresponding output signals, except when the mover is in a position near, but not in contact with a hard stop. While the sensors produce output signals, the motor is driven in a first direction toward the hard stop. When the sensors stop producing the output signals, the mover has reached the first position, and the motor is controlled to reverse the direction of the mover.
Methods of braking motors and motor starters employing the same
Pairs of phases of an AC power source are connected to pairs of phases of a motor in a first sequence that repeats at a first frequency. The motor is braked by connecting pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in a second sequence that is reversed with respect to the first sequence and that repeats at a second frequency less than the first frequency. In further aspects, pairs of phases of an AC power source are connected to pairs of phases of a motor in a first sequence. The motor is subsequently disconnected from the AC power source for a predetermined dwell interval having a duration greater than a time constant of the motor. The motor is braked using a second sequence that is reversed with respect to the first sequence.

In wheel motor layout and drive method
The present invention relates to a layout and a drive method of an in-wheel motor used for driving a vehicle. In a vehicle using a direct drive in-wheel motor, there is a problem that mechanical loss is caused by a load on an axle due to a weight of a vehicle body, a direction change during traveling, and the like. A stator of the direct drive in-wheel motor is eccentrically disposed in a half peripheral part on the front side of the vehicle body. A terminal of a stator that generates a rotational torque reaction conflicting with a load applied to an axle during traveling is preferentially activated. A mechanical loss of a direct drive in-wheel motor due to a load on an axle during traveling of a vehicle is reduced.
