摘要:
In one embodiment there is a toy vehicle having a low inductance motor powered by a high frequency switched voltage at a frequency high enough to create continuous conduction. The vehicle further includes an H-bridge circuit configured to control a direction of the motor and an adjustable high frequency DC-DC switch configured to convert a supply voltage to an output voltage, lower than the supply voltage, for use by the H-bridge circuit to power the low inductance motor in a forward or reverse direction. In addition, a processor is included and has instructions configured to change the output voltage from the DC-DC switch from a first voltage to a second voltage.

A temperature estimation module estimates a change in temperature of the magnets associated with the rotor of the motor based on an operational magnetic flux strength that is compared to a reference magnetic flux strength determined at a known ambient temperature and for a predetermined operating range of the motor The temperature estimation module or the system establishes a relationship between the estimated change in the temperature and a magnetic torque component of a target output torque of the motor consistent with the predetermined operating range. The current adjustment module or the system adjusts a command (e.g., quadrature-axis current command) for the motor to compensate for shaft torque variation associated with the estimated change in the temperature in conformance with the established relationship.

The invention relates to a method for providing a digital current fluctuation signal from the analogue armature current signal of a direct current motor that is supplied with current. The method is characterised in that, • the analogue armature current signal after being filtered is subjected to an analogue/digital conversion, based on a threshold value, • the analogue armature current signal is oversampled at a predetermined clock pulse rate during the start-up phase when the direct current motor is switched on and during the run-down phase when the motor is switched off, said oversampling being predominantly limited to these phases and • the current fluctuation(s) determined from the analogue/digital conversion based on a threshold value is/are compared with the current fluctuation(s) determined from the oversampling. If the respective current fluctuations that have been determined do not sufficiently correspond, the current fluctuations that have been determined from the oversampling are considered for further evaluation.

The invention relates to a method for detecting the rotational position of the drive shaft of a DC motor and especially the position of an element driven by the drive shaft within a predetermined path of movement by evaluating the current ripples contained in the rotor current signal. The inventive method is characterized in that a period of a reference current ripple is provided during operation of the DC motor. The period of the reference current ripple is compared with the period of every current ripple detected during operation of the DC motor. If there is not sufficient agreement of the periods between the period of the reference current ripple and that of a detected current ripple, the periods of the current ripple signals that are not sufficiently in agreement are corrected with respect to the period of the reference current ripple.
