    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting an initial position of a rotor of a motor includes: switching on or off respective switches in respective connecting branches connected to respective phase windings of the motor so as to obtain different switch state combinations capable of supporting different phase states of the motor, wherein the different switch state combinations support inputting voltages for different phases to the motor; for each switch state combination, injecting a voltage and recording a start time; monitoring respective phase currents of the motor, including: stopping the injecting of the voltage in response to determining that at least one of the respective phase currents is greater than a current threshold during the injecting of the voltage; and recording an end time in response to determining that the respective phase currents are all attenuated to zero after stopping the injecting of the voltage; and calculating a time difference between the end time and the start time; and determining the initial position of the rotor based on respective time differences in different switch state combinations.

    摘要: An AC motor control device controls an inverter that supplies an alternating current to an AC motor which is a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. The AC motor control device includes: pulse width modulation signal generation means that supplies a pulse width modulation signal to the inverter so that a position detection voltage vector for detection of the position of the rotor of the AC motor is applied to the AC motor; current derivative detection means that detects a current derivative occurring due to application of the position detection voltage vector to the AC motor; rotor position computation means that computes an estimated position of the rotor of the AC motor; rotor position correction means that corrects the estimated position; and drive control means that controls the pulse width modulation signal generation means so as to drive the AC motor.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method to detect an offset of a motor position sensor. The apparatus includes a command voltage vector generation unit configured to, in a state in which a motor has been coupled to an electric booster braking system, generate a command voltage vector having a predefined command phase and command voltage and apply the command voltage vector to the motor such that a piston moves in a direction determined based on the current position of the piston, and an offset detection unit configured to detect the offset of the motor position sensor based on a phase difference between a command phase of the command voltage vector and an actually measured phase obtained by actually measuring, by the motor position sensor, a phase formed by rotors of the motor that are aligned as the command voltage vector is applied from the command voltage vector generation unit to the motor.
