This paper is presented for robot vacuum cleaners using BLDC motors. Recently, BLDC motors which require smaller size, lower sound noise and higher efficiency have been placed in high value-added products including robot vacuum cleaners, vehicle cars and other industry applications. The DC motors have higher sound noise, higher height of the size and lower efficiency due to electro-magnetic structure using the brushes and the commutators. The proposed BLDC motors are appropriate for the motors adequate in regards to higher efficiency, longer life cycle time, and smaller height of the size when robot vacuum cleaners go to some lower height of the space like under sleeping beds and because it's power source is batteries. The paper shows the performance of the BLDC motors designed by the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) of the electro-magnetic field. This paper shows the mechanical structure and the prototype of the motor with the impeller. The performance characteristics of the BLDC motors with the hall sensor controller are verified by the experimental results.

This paper presents the design of a BLDC motor driver applicable to various valve control systems using smart devices. BLDC motors are relatively small in size and have better performance than other motors. They help in reducing maintenance cost, installation costs and power consumption in plant facilities. The proposed driver is specially designed for BLDC motors using Smart Communication Platform. It adds smart features in the valve control system using BLDC motors such as multi-management, control, networking and monitoring in real time with the help of smart devices.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles(HEVs) have seriously come into prevalence recently as car manufacturers and consumers have become more aware of the environmental and economic problems of conventional vehicles. For the alternative power-train and battery cooling systems in HEVs, an effective thermal management system is required, and many automakers are interested in using Brushless DC(BLDC) motors for cooling fans for the overall traction unit's performance and energy saving capability. This paper presents the development status of BLDC motors as major parts of the power-train, i.e. the engine cooling and battery cooling fans of HEVs. A design that uses BLDC motors for the power-train and each battery cooling fan, is successfully implemented through using electro-magnetic analysis, and prototype BLDC motors are examined. As experimental results, the BLDC motors achieved an efficiency of 85% as engine cooling fans and 72% as a battery thermal management fan motor. The electric cogging noise is significantly reduced by changing the skew of the slot pitch angle and optimizing the magnetic shape.

The aim of this paper is twofold: The one is to design BLDC motors for an electric bicycle and the other is to develop a controller of the BLDC motors. A new BLDC Motor has a permanent magnet rotor in which the magnetic arrangement is radial to the shaft and integral to the rotor laminations instead of mounted on the perimeter of the rotor. This technique concentrates flux, giving a higher flux density than a surface-mounted PM motor and has the increase of reluctance torque. The stator of BLDC motor has parallel winding instead of interconnected wye-connection winding, allowing multi-phase separate independent controllability. It gets much more high power than wye-connection at same low voltage. The proposed controller has a technique of exited with modulation(EWM) and one H-bridge and two photo sensors per phase. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

Along with the development of power electronics and magnetic materials, permanent magnet (PM) brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are now widely used in many fields of modern industry BLDC motors have many advantages such as high efficiency, large peak torque, easy control of speed, and reliable working characteristics. However, Compared with the other electric motors without a PM, BLDC motors with a PM have inherent cogging torque. It is often a principle source of vibration, noise and difficulty of control in BLDC motors. Cogging torque which is produced by the interaction of the rotor magnetic flux and angular variation in the stator magnetic reluctance can be reduced by sinusoidal air-gap flux density waveform due to reduction of variation of magnetic reluctance. Therefore, this paper will present a design method of magnetizing system for reduction of cogging torque and low manufacturing cost of BLDC motor with isotropic bonded neodynium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets in ring type by sinusoidal air-gap flux density distribution. An analytical technique of magnetization makes use of two-dimensional finite element method (2-D FEM) and Preisach model that expresses the hysteresis phenomenon of magnetic materials in order for accurate calculation. In addition, For optimum design of magnetizing fixture, Factorial design which is one of the design of experiments (DOE) is used.

본 논문에서는 주성분 분석 기법에 의한 BLDC 전동기의 고장진단 알고리즘과 임베디드 타입의 실시간 고장진단 시스템을 구현하였다. 우선 오프라인 상태에서 제안된 고장진단 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 BLDC 고장진단 실험장치를 구현한 후 LabVIEW 프로그램에 의해 다양한 고장 데이터를 취득하였다. 취득된 데이터는 신호특성에 맞는 전 처리과정을 수행한 후 주성분분석 기법에 의해 고장특성을 나타내는 특징을 추출하고 최종적으로 BLDC 전동기의 진단은 유클리디안 거리 유사도 방법에 의해 수행된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 임베디드 타입의 실시간 BLDC 고장진단 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다.

Brushless DC motors applied in many control systems because of the good respose characteristic and the easy control characteristic. The speed control of the BLDC motors is important in the systems. This paper has designed PSO-PID speed controller for the speed control of BLDC motors. The PSO algorithm optimized the parameters of the PID controller in the PSO-PID speed controller. The several methods obtained the optimal inertia weight of the PSO algorithm by comparison. The optimal inertia weight of the PSO algorithm optimized the PSO-PID speed controller for BLDC motors. This paper confirmed the performance of proposed PSO-PID speed controller through simulation results.

The goal of this study is to examine the effect of the number of slots on the noise from BLDC motors. To this end, the number of poles was fixed to 4 and the number of the slots was set to 6 or 24 before noise was measured. Motors having different numbers of slots showed clear differences in noise. Cogging torque, torque ripple and normal local force were interpreted, analyzed and compared to determine the reason for the differences. To determine the cause of the noise, cogging torque, torque ripple and normal local force were calculated, which are representative noise sources of BLDC motors, and FFT was performed to analyze their frequency components(harmonics). The results show that torque ripple and normal local force were the dominant factors in the noise difference between the 6-slot and 24-pole motors. As the number of the slots increased, the number of harmonics decreased and their amplitude of harmonic were reduced, which was attributed as the reason for the noise differences.

토크, 효율 등 전동기의 최대특성을 얻기 위해 모든 전동기는 각 전동기 특성에 맞게 설계된 범용인버터를 기본적으로 사용한다. 그러나 최근 연구 결과들을 살펴보면 BLDC 범용인버터인 6-스위치 인버터를 이용한 SRM 구동 연구, 3상 BLDC 전동기를 4-스위치 인버터를 이용한 구동 연구사례들을 살펴볼 수 있다. 따라서 기존 범용인버터에서 벗어나 각 전동기를 구동할 시킬 수 있는 구동 및 제어에 대한 여러 방법에 대해 접근하여 연구 방법들을 모색할 수 있다. 이러한 연구 경향에 맞춰 본 논문에서는 SRM 구동용 컨버터인 C- dump 형태의 컨버터를 BLDC 전동기의 구동 드라이버로 적용하여 이에 대한 특성과 가능성에 관해 연구하였다.
