Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001]Embodiments of a present disclosure relates to a motor assembly, and more particularly to a unique design of stator assembly for unique placements of a Hall Effect sensor for the motor assembly for optimizing rotor-stator synchronization.
BACKGROUND
[0002]Commutation is a process of switching current in motor phases for facilitating a rotation of a motor. A commutator assembly performs the process of commutation in normal DC motors.
[0003]In brushless DC (BLDC) motors, a mechanical commutator and brushes are replaced by solid-state, magnetic field sensors. The need of said commutation process in the BLDC motor is to energize stator windings in a certain pattern and sequence, with one winding positive, one negative, and the third one turned off. The attraction and repulsion between the stator field and rotor permanent magnets produces torque. Maximum torque is produced when these two fields are oriented at 90 degrees to each other and diminishes, when they align.
[0004]In order to move the motor, a motor controller sends current through the stator windings and produces magnetic field which in turn develops the torque on the rotor, which in turn makes the rotor move. Hence, to keep the motor turning, the magnetic field of the stator should change position as the rotor field try to catch with it.
[0005]For energizing the correct stator winding, the rotor position must be known. The principle of operation of the BLDC motor is basically based on the rotor position feedback. A sensor is required to give the rotor position feedback to the motor controller when the rotor reaches the desired position. Thus, to gain rotor-stator synchronization, a position sensor is normally implemented. The position sensors is otherwise referred here as a Hall Effect sensor.
[0006]If the commutation is done faster or slower than the rotor speed, the magnets go out of synchronisation with the magnetic field of the stator. This causes the rotor to vibrate and may stop. After one commutation, the rotor position feedback with respect to the stator is must for initiating the next commutation. Hence, the position detection is also a crucial parameter.
[0007]The detection of commutation points of BLDC drives is done by both sensor-less schemes and position sensors. Usually, the zero-crossing points (ZCPs) of the back-electromotive forces (back EMFs) are identified to detect the commutation points in case of high speed BLDC sensor-less schemes. But said ZCP based sensor-less methods have limitations. At zero and low speed range, the back-EMFs are not high enough for accurate ZCP detection. Also, low-pass filters (LPFs) are needed in order to avoid false commutations. This will cause an inevitable LPF delay error.
[0008]Further, asymmetric machine parameters, non-ideal EMF shapes and armature reaction also have a negative influence on the ZCP detection accuracy. The flux linkage based sensorless scheme are also not suitable for high speed drives since flux linkage based sensorless scheme requires high sampling rate and heavy computation burden.
[0009]On the other hand, the Hall Effect sensors are also widely used in high speed BLDC drives due to advantages of simplicity and robustness in wide speed and load range. When the Hall Effect sensors are used, machine parameters, EMF waveform, and armature reaction have no effect on detected Hall signals. Also, the effect of LPFs is also neglected since there is no high frequency noise in the Hall signals. So, the hub motor uses the Hall Effect sensors to obtain commutation points.
[0010]The BLDC motors typically have three Hall Effect sensors mounted either to the stator or to the rotor and use what is known as six-step commutation. These Hall Effect sensors are placed 120 degree apart from each other, providing 0 to 360 degree angle position. When the rotor passes the Hall Effect sensor, the Hall Effect sensor produces either a high or a low signal to indicate which rotor pole (North or South) has passed. This switching of the three Hall Effect sensors (from high to low or from low to high) provides said rotor position information every 60 degrees.
[0011]In the six-step commutation, each of the three windings is either energized positive, negative, or off, depending on whether each of the three Hall Effect sensors has a high or a low state. As explained above, when the Hall Effect sensors come in contact with the magnetic field of the rotor, the Hall Effect sensor generates respective digital pulse in terms of 1 and 0, used to measure the motor’s position, which is communicated to the electronic controller to spin the motor at the right time and right orientation.
[0012]The said commutation conduction pattern of the inverter is very sensitive to the physical position of the Hall Effect sensors. Sensitivity level is based on the placement of the Hall Effect sensor to the magnet, the air gap, and magnet strength. Hence, misplacing the Hall Effect sensors will affect switching intervals of the inverter. The insufficiently precise positioning of the Hall Effect sensors causes unbalanced operation. Unbalanced Hall Effect sensors lead to unequal conduction intervals among the phases and subsequently undesirable low frequency harmonics in torque.
[0013]The said electromagnetic torque spectrum with low frequency components may stress mechanical parts of the drive system and generate electromagnetic noise. Misalignment of the Hall Effect sensors results in mal-operation of the voltage source inverter and lead to deterioration of the overall drive performance. The above said unbalancing among the phases leads to an increase in torque pulsation, vibration and audible noise. Ideally, in the 120° arrangement the hall signals consist of six sectors of electrical 60° spans, but misalignment in their position, the Hall outputs will be the combination of irregular sector duration. Manually adjusting the placements of the Hall Effect sensors could solve the problem. However, it is not practical for mass production.
[0014]Furthermore, the Hall Effect sensor works in harsh environment where high current, high temperature, and high vibration are existed. Those conditions result in some incorrect position detections. Those glitches, if not properly anticipated, will result in incorrect switching pattern. This could result either in inverter or motor damage and additional motor vibration. The phenomenon of uneven Hall signals itself is a grave problem which need to be addressed. Noisy Hall Effect based rotor position sensor could result in erratic switching pattern if not properly addressed.
[0015]Hence, there is a need for a unique design of a stator assembly for unique placement of a Hall Effect Sensor for a motor assembly and therefore address the aforementioned issues.
