| 20090072776 | Apparatus and Method for Controlling Hybrid Motor - The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling a hybrid motor, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for controlling a hybrid motor, which uses a permanent magnet instead of a field coil for a rotor, winds a coil round a stator in a multi-phase independent parallel manner, fixes a rectifying type encoder to the rotor and connects a sensor to a driving circuit to smoothly start and rotate the hybrid motor, simplifies the configuration of the hybrid motor and reduce the manufacturing cost of the hybrid motor The apparatus for controlling a hybrid motor having a multi-phase independent parallel stator coil comprises: an encoder attached to a rotor of the hybrid motor and operated in cooperation with a sensor in order to sense the pole of the rotor; the sensor for outputting a sensor signal indicating the polo of the rotor, sensed by the encoder; a speed input unit for generating a speed instruction signal for driving the motor; a power switching circuit for generating signals for driving the motor; a drive module for receiving the speed instruction signal and the sensor signal and outputting the speed instruction signal synchronized with the sensor signal as a signal for driving the motor; a power supply for applying a DC voltage to the power switching circuit; and a logic power supply for converting the DC voltage received from the power supply into a logic voltage and applying the converted logic voltage to the drive module. When the motor has n phases, the motor includes n power switching circuits and n drive modules. | 03-19-2009 |
