Abstract. This paper research on sensorless control of brushless dc motor control for electric bicycle. Based on the work requirements of electric bicycles, this paper introduces some method to improve the start of the motor and the detection of the motor's rotor position, expand the speed range of electric bicycle without hall and solve some problem in starting process. Finally, this paper verifies the feasibility of the scheme on the electric bicycle.
IntroductionNow most of the control strategy of electric bicycle give priority to sensor control strategy. Sensorless control strategy is complementary. When the hall sensors can work normally in the electric motor, the sensor control strategy will be adopted. When the hall sensors are broken, the controller will switch into the sensorless control strategy, in order to ensure the electric bicycle can still run without hall sensor [1][2]. Although sensorless control strategy can ensure electric bicycle working, it can't satisfy customers' demand for high quality of running on electric bicycle [3][4]. Compared with the sensor control strategy, the sensorless control strategy of electric bicycle are still many deficiencies.Those are: 1) The motor speed, can be adjusted, is low.2) There are the dithering phenomenon in starting process.
The sensorless control methodThe rotor detected method of sensorless control. Based on the electric bicycle's operation environment and operation requirements of the motor, this paper improves the back EMF ZCP(electromagnetic force zero-crossing point), optimizes the voltage comparison circuit, and enlarges the speed range of the method. In the process of normal operation of the simplified equation of brushless dc motor can be written as follows [5-6]: (1) (In the Eq. 1, 、 、 are the three-phase voltages of brushless dc motor, 、 、 are the three phase currents, 、 、 are the three phase opposite potentials, R is the resistance of three-phase, M is the mutual inductance between the phase winding, L is the self-inductance of the three-phase winding, and P is the differential operator )We can see that[4]:3rd International Conference on Material, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (IC3ME 2015)
