    摘要: A swing door operator for moving at least one door leaf between a first and a second position includes a motor and a mechanical drive unit connected to and capable of moving the at least one door leaf from the first position to the second position, and a braking circuit connected to the motor. The braking circuit includes a diode circuit arranged to apply a voltage drop to the motor. The motor is adapted to act as a generator and is configured to generate a voltage when the drive unit moves the at least one door leaf, and to brake a movement of the at least one door leaf when the voltage generated by the motor is larger than the voltage drop applied by the diode circuit. The diode circuit includes at least three diodes connected in series.

    摘要: An object of the invention is to provide a motor control device capable of realizing a redundancy while suppressing an increase in the number of parts and the number of connection signal lines.
    The invention includes angle sensors 102 and 103 for detecting a rotation angle of a motor, MPU 107 for controlling the motor based on a stroke sensor 117 and receiving the detected value of the angle sensor 102, MPU 108 for controlling the motor based on the stroke sensor 117 and receiving the detected value of the angle sensor 103, and communication units 115 and 116 for transmitting and receiving signals between the MPUs 107 and 108. The MPU 107 includes an angle sensor failure detecting unit 114 for detecting a failure of the angle sensors 102 and 103, according to the detected value of the angle sensor 102, the detected value of the angle sensor 103 received through the communication unit 115, and a control angle of the motor created in response to the stroke sensor 117.

    摘要: In a method for generating a blocking moment in a standstill state of an electrically commutated electric motor having at least two windings, on which electric motor a possibly varying load moment acts from outside in the standstill state, first, a blocking current is supplied at a maximum value into a first winding. This blocking current is successively reduced to, possibly, a minimum value. From that moment the inductivity of the electric motor is controlled, namely by controlling the blocking current if the control deviation between the actual value and the set value of the inductivity exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Thereby, it is possible to control the blocking current in an adaptive manner insofar as, despite a varying load moment, the standstill state of the electric motor can be maintained by varying the blocking current.

    摘要: The brake driving control circuit, which controls an electromagnetic brake that releases the brake by applying a current, is provided with: a first rectifying element provided between a first power supply of a first circuit voltage and one terminal of the electromagnetic brake; a cut-off switch inserted into a line through which the first power supply supplies power; a first switching element provided between the other terminal of the electromagnetic brake and a ground point; and a second switching element and a second rectifying element provided in series between a second power supply of a second circuit voltage, which is different from the first circuit voltage, and the one terminal of the electromagnetic brake.

    摘要: A smart power switch for a swimming pool vacuum having a battery powered motor for driving a propeller within a vacuum head to create thrust and suction; the power switch including a microprocessor combined with two integrated motor-driver integrated circuits for driving the motor at different speeds and for detecting and clearing motor jams. Red, green and blue LED indicators notify the user of the state of the motor and motor driver. The microprocessor detects spikes in motor current to determine a motor jam and operates the motor driver to control the motor, including stopping and reversing the motor, to clear an obstruction in the vacuum head.

    摘要: Electric scissors comprise a motor, a movable blade, a transmission mechanism, an operation device, an operation signal output device, a control device, a drive circuit, and a forced stop device. The forced stop device is configured to stop the motor when an abnormal state is present in which the value of the operation signal output from the operation signal output device is a value determined in the control device to rotate the motor in a specific rotation direction out of the first and the second rotation directions or to stop the motor, and in which the motor is rotating in a direction opposite to the specific rotation direction.
