    Abstract: An energy efficient low-power integral electronically commutated fan motor and control circuit assembly mounted on a circuit board for use in refrigerators utilizing a Hall sensor to provide positional control signals for sequential energization of the windings with the Hall sensor energization being pulsed, and the motor stator windings energized only during a portion of the period, when rotational torque produced by the energization is greatest in order to reduce the power input to the assembly. Integrally molded multi-function components including the coil bobbin, ground pin, Hall sensor holder, motor bearing oil well covers, and assembly housing provide positioning, support, and securing assistance along with electrical and magnetic operative connections and positioning. A capacitively coupled bridge power supply is provided to further reduce power consumption, and the motor is protected under fault and stall conditions by a current limiting circuit and a timed retry circuit, and the rotor and stator are designed for adequate starting torque in a refrigerator. Power is supplied to the motor windings through a voltage dropping capacitor connected in series therewith.

    Abstract: A capacitively powered motor having a power switching circuit adapted to be connected between a power source and its winding for selectively energizing the winding to generate a magnetic field which causes a rotating assembly to rotate. A position sensing circuit provides a position signal representative of the position of the rotating assembly and a commutating circuit controls the power switching circuit to commutate the power switching circuit at a commutating angle and at a substantially constant duty cycle to achieve a desired rotating speed of the rotating assembly. The commutating circuit varies the commutating angle in response to the position signal to maintain the substantially constant rotating speed of the rotating assembly. As result, the efficiency of the motor is varied to maintain the substantially constant rotating speed.

    Abstract: Control circuit for an electronically commutated motor which has a rotatable assembly and further has a stationary assembly with a plurality of winding stages having terminals for energization, and switches for applying a voltage to one or more of the terminals of the winding stages at a time and commutating the winding stages in a preselected sequence to rotate the rotatable assembly. A preselected sequence of winding stages are left correspondingly unpowered so that a plurality of the winding stages are unpowered at some time. The winding stages generate back emf signals and also couple electrical signals from each energized winding stage to the unpowered winding stages which signals can interfere with detection of back emf for position sensing purposes. The control circuit includes a first circuit for selecting at least two of the unpowered winding stages which have electrical signals coupled to them that have a predetermined relationship in polarity and magnitude. A second circuit produces an electrical output from the voltages on the winding stage terminals of the winding stages selected, so that the electrical signals coupled from each energized winding stage are substantially canceled when they have the predetermined relationship while the back emf is preserved for position sensing substantially free from interference from the electrical signals that are coupled from each energized winding stage to the unpowered winding stages. Other control circuits, electronically commutated motor systems and methods of control and operation are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A refrigeration system is disclosed as comprising a compressor driven by an electronically commutated D.C. motor for circulating a suitable coolant through a condenser and then an evaporator disposed within a chamber or compartment to be cooled. The system is particularly adapted for use as an air conditioning system for automobiles and recreational vehicles, as portable refrigerating apparatus in recreational vehicles, and refrigerating apparatus for trucks or other transport vehicles. In such applications, a power source such as a battery, alternator, or generator (or rectified alternating current) serves to energize the motor. The motor may be operated by an electronic commutating circuit responsive to the position of the rotor of the D.C. motor for efficiently commutating the energizing signals applied to the stator windings of the brushless D.C. motor. The level of energization is set in accordance with the desired temperature to be maintained by the refrigeration system, whereby the D.C. motor is energized to drive the compressor at a selected speed corresponding to the desired temperature. The degree of stator energization may be controlled by: 1) regulating the output of the power source, or 2) regulating directly the commutating circuit to control the current signals applied to the stator windings.

    Abstract: A brushless DC motor is constructed with photosensitive devices for detecting rotor shaft position. Arcuate permanent magnets on the rotor provide a DC flux field while distributed stator windings, each spanning a fixed number of slots in the armature assembly, provide mutually perpendicular magnetic fields. A logic circuit comprising NOR gates and transistor switches and drivers activated in response to signals from the shaft position sensors are utilized to control current switching in the stator windings of the motor. A light interrupting shutter mounted to the rotor cooperates with the light sensitive devices which are mounted to a supporting bracket fixed to the stator assembly in a manner to selectively preset advancement of commutation of the stator windings.
