| 20100134059 | BRUSHLESS MOTOR APPARATUS - A blushless direct current (BLDG) motor apparatus includes: a stator which is provided with a plurality of windings corresponding to N phases and wound in parallel independently of each other; a rotor which has a plurality of poles corresponding to the plurality of windings and rotates with respect to the stator by excitation of the windings; a switching unit which is provided in the form of a full H-bridge with respect to each phase, comprises a pair of upper switching devices corresponding to a (+) side of the winding and a pair of lower switching devices corresponding to a (−) side of the winding, and performs a switching operation to supply or not to supply driving power to the winding; a first sensing device which senses the phase of the rotor with respect to the stator to determine whether to turn on or off the upper switching device; a second sensing device which is provided in the latter part than the first sensing device and senses the phase of the rotor with respect to the stator to determine whether to turn on or off the lower switching device; and a controller which uses a partial square wave to drive the upper switching device and the lower switching device on the basis of the sensed phase of the rotor, and controls the lower switching device to be turned off later than the upper switching device by more than a time to exhaust an electric current staying in the winding. | 06-03-2010 |
