    摘要: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding (24, 25) and a field winding (10) for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit (40) is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding (24, 25) such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit (40) to control the current in the armature winding (24, 25) in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.

Furthermore a control system (32) supplies control signals to the circuit (40) to control the current in the armature winding (24, 25). In order to enhance the performance at high speed, the control signals are produced in response to sensor output signals which provide an advanced indication of the rotational position of the rotor. Furthermore, in order to prevent oscillation of the rotor on start-up, the control signals supplied to the circuit (40) during an initial start-up period are each produced after a time delay as compared with the production of the control signals over subsequent cycles of rotation during acceleration of the rotor. This can be achieved with simple on/off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost.

    摘要: A method of driving an electric motor having at least one coil winding comprising using a switching operation when the current (10) in the winding is to be switched from a first state to a second state. The switching operation has at least first and second switching steps, the interval between which is approximately equal to half the period of a dominant frequency of vibration of the motor (or to an integral multiple of the period plus a half). This reduces vibrations causing acoustic noise, enabling the motor to be operated more quietly. One or more intermediate steps may be included in the switching operation.

    摘要: An electrical machine comprises a four-pole stator (2) provided with a field winding (10) and an armature winding (11), each of the windings (10, 11) being split into two coils (22, 23 or 24, 25) closely coupled and wound so that diametrically opposite portions of both coils are disposed within diametrically opposite stator slots. A two-pole rotor (not shown) without windings is rotatable within the stator (2), and a circuit is provided for energising the armature coils (24 and 25) when direct current is supplied to terminals (26 and 27) of the circuit. Switches (28 and 29) in series with the coils (24 and 25) are switched alternately to effect alternate energisation of the coils (24 and 25) so as to generate, as a result of the opposite winding of the coils, magnetomotive forces in opposite directions. Since each of the closely coupled coils (24 and 25) generates a magnetomotive force in a respective direction, each coil needs to be energised with current in only one direction so that a relatively simple excitation circuit can be used.
