This paper presents efficiency improvement of a universal motor used in a vacuum cleaner. The transient computation is carried out by employing finite element analysis with nonlinear material curves. Working point of magnetic field is investigated and operating frequencies are analyzed using harmonics analysis. New non-oriented electrical steel is developed for the motor regarding permeability and iron loss at the frequencies. Accordingly, new electrical steel is applied to the motor, which leads to improve efficiency of the motor.

In this paper PU control scheme is presented. The proposed scheme has following features. The one is oft-starting method which is used for preventing to flow large current in motor phase winding when motor starts. The ther is the selection of the level of the over current. The first feature is implemented by increasing the PWM duty lowly, the second feature is implemented by limiting the magnitude of the phase current level by which the over heat f motor by copper losses and magnetic saturation decreases. By the analysis using FEM considering load condition, the peed of mode transition from PW to single pulse control is selected and confirmed by simulation that there is no ver current occurs during the mode transition. For the verification of proposed scheme, the simulation using MATLAB Simulink with considering non-linearity of inductance profile from FEM analysis is performed and the experiment with SRM drive system which has the DSP controller and single Phase SRM are peformed.

Noise cause is dividing to fluid noise by exhaust flow of fan and vibration noise by rotational vibration of motor. Until now, measuring method has been used to measure vibration by the accelerometer, this method has been not measured for the vibration in some parts of brush and commutator because of motor construction. This research was purposed on the accurate analysis. using laser vibration analyzer, of noise cause against the difficult part in old times. By using this measured data, we would like to use for the design of silent motor.

In this study, noise radiated from a high-speed fan-motor unit for a cordless vacuum cleaner is reduced by designing splitter blades on the existing impeller. First of all, in order to investigate the flow field through a fan-motor unit, especially impeller, the unsteady incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are numerically solved by using computational fluid dynamic technique. With predicted flow field results as input, the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) integral equation is solved to predict aerodynamic noise radiated from the impeller. The validity of the numerical methods is confirmed by comparing the predicted sound pressure spectrum with the measured one. Further analysis of the predicted flow field shows that the strong vortex is formed between the impeller blades. As the vortex induces the loss of the flow field and acts as an aerodynamic noise source, supplementary splitter blades are designed to the existing impeller to suppress the identified vortex. The length and position of splitter are selected as design factors and the effect of each design factor on aerodynamic noise is numerically analyzed by using the Taguchi method. From this results, the optimum location and length of splitter for minimum radiated noise is determined. The finally selected design shows lower noise than the existing one.

This paper deals with the effects of welding, which is done to fix the stator stack, on a motor in case of fabricating a prototype motor that is manufactured in a small quantity. In the case of a small motor, the stator is designed and fabricated with the segmented core as a way to raise the fill factor of winding wire to the utmost within a limited size. In case of fabrication by welding both inside and outside of the stator in order to fix the segmented-core stator, the effects of stack are ignored, and the eddy current loss occurs. This paper performed the no-load test on an IPM-type BLDC motor for driving the suction fan of a vacuum cleaner, which was manufactured by using a segmented-core stator. As a result of the test, it was found that input power more than expected was supplied. To analyze the effects of welding by using the finite element analysis method and verify them experimentally, a stator was re-manufactured by bonding, and input power supplied during the no-load test was compared.

This paper deals with an experimental study for on-line monitoring the performance of a universal motor for vacuum cleaner. Performance tests are conducted on the PC-based virtual instrumentation system designed using the graphical programming language LabVIEW. The proposed monitoring system is capable of performing real time measurement functions, including data acquisition, display, and analyses in the time and frequency domains, as well as data archiving. The measured mechanical and iron loss, voltage, current, input power, power factor, torque, and efficiency characteristics are presented as function of speed.

진공청소기는 가전 제품 중에서 인간의 일상생활에서 꼭 필요한 가전제품의 하나이다. 그러나, 성능 향상을 위한 과도한 회전 속도 때문에 큰 소음을 유발하며 그로 인해서 사용자에게 소음으로 인한 스트레스나 피로누적 등의 큰 불편을 초래하고 있다. 이것은 진공청소기내에 있는 팬 모터가 30000∼35000 rpm으로 고속회전을 통해서 측에 연결되어 있는 임펠러를 회전시켜 공기를 흡입, 배출시키는 일련의 작동을 하면서 여러 가지 진동 및 유체소음을 일으키기 때문이다. 이러한 진공청소기용 팬모터의 소음 저감 연구는 국내외 관련회사 및 연구소에서 활발히 진행되고 있다.(중략)

Single phase series commutator motors is widely used in various home appliances, such as vacuum cleaner, electric mixers, electrical tools, etc. This paper deals with the characteristics of single phase series commutator motors of which parameters varied with stator turns and stack length to find optimal electric and magnetic loading. We try to measure these data through the experiments with several prototype motors. The experimental results show some specific stator turns and stack length with which this motor has the highest efficiency.

본 논문은 차량용 Built-in 청소기용 SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) 드라이브 시스템 개발에 대하여 설명한다. 기존의 청소기용 모터는 대부분 영구자석을 사용하는 PMSM 또는 BLDCM이다. 그러나 영구자석의 주 원료인 희토류 광물가격의 상승으로 인해 영구자석형 모터를 대체할 비 희토류 모터(SRM)에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 제작된 차량용 Built-in 청소기용 SRM의 유한요소해석 데이터를 바탕으로 한 Matlab/Simulink 시뮬레이션 및 실제 실험을 통하여 가능성을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 청소기용 BLDC 전동기 모터에 기존의 전기강관이 아닌 SMC(Soft Magnetic Composite)를 적용하여 진공청소기용 BLDC 전동기 모터 설계를 하는데 있다. 본 논문에서 사용한 SMC는 순철 분말에 전기적 절연 코팅을 실시한 새로운 재질로 현재 많은 연구가 진행 되고 있는 분야이다. 그러나 재질의 특성에 적합한 모터 설계에 관한 연구는 미진 하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 진공청소기용으로 많이 사용되는 BLDC 모터에 SMC를 적용 하였을 때 BLDC 전동기의 특성을 알아 보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 SMC재질을 사용 할 때는 어느 조건에서 사용함이 유리한지 알 수 있었다. 또한 고속 청소기에 적합한 설계를 실시한 결과 SMC 재질의 낮은 투자율로 말미암아 인덕턴스가 감소하고, 전류가 높아져, 출력 증대 되는 것으로 나타 났다. 향 후 본 연구는 SMC를 이용한 BLDC 모터 설계 시 설계 기준으로 이용 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
