Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a motor driving device and a laundry treatment apparatus. An inverter is configured to convert a DC voltage of DC terminals into an AC voltage according to a switching operation and to output the AC voltage to a motor. A DC terminal voltage detector is configured to detect the voltage of the DC terminals, and an output current detector is configured to detect an output current flowing through the motor. A controller is configured to control the inverter based on the detected output current. The controller controls the motor to operate based on a flux current command value from among the flux current command values and a torque current command value for driving the motor in an overvoltage protection mode when the detected DC terminal voltage is higher than a first predetermined value and power is supplied from the motor to the DC terminals. Abrupt DC terminal voltage increase may be prevented.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a drain pump driving apparatus and a laundry treatment machine including the same. A drain pump driving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a controller configured to drive a motor, during drainage, based on an output current and a direct current (DC) terminal voltage with a first power when a lift is at a first level and to drive the motor with the first power when the lift is at a second level that is greater than the first level, wherein the lift is a difference between a water level of a water introduction part through which water flows into a drain pump and a water level of a water discharge part through which the water is discharged out of the drain pump. Accordingly, water pumping can be performed smoothly even if the lift is changed during the drainage.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a motor drive apparatus and, more particularly, to a motor drive apparatus capable of immediately restarting by maintaining sensorless control during a stop operation of a motor. The motor drive apparatus comprises: an inverter for driving a motor by using an AC voltage; and a control unit for controlling operations of a switching element included in the inverter. At this time, when a stop command is input, the control unit decreases a duty ratio of a PWM signal until a present speed of the motor becomes smaller than a predetermined minimum speed, thereby decreasing the revolutions per minute of the motor. Then, when a restart command is input in a state where the duty ratio of the PWM signal is decreased, the control unit can immediately restart the motor by increasing the duty ratio of the PWM signal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a motor driving device and a laundry treatment apparatus. The motor driving device (200) may include an inverter (420) to convert DC power into AC power according to a switching operation and to output the converted AC power to a motor (250), an output current detector (E) to detect an output current flowing through the motor (250), and a controller (430) to control the inverter (420) based on the detected output current. The controller (430) changes a carrier frequency, changes a voltage command based on the changed carrier frequency and outputs an inverter switching control signal to the inverter (420) based on the changed carrier frequency and the changed voltage command. Accordingly, noise may be reduced during operation of the motor (250).
