MOTOR REDUCER, WIPING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The present invention relates to a gear motor and in particular a gear motor for motor vehicle wiping systems.
The gearmotors are essentially composed of an electric motor coupled to a reduction mechanism responsible for increasing the speed to obtain a high rotational transmission torque.
Different types of electric motors can be used in a gearmotor and in particular brushless direct current electric motors which have many advantages such as a long service life, reduced dimensions and consumption as well as a low noise level.
However, the control of electric motors is more complex compared to brushed electric motors because to allow proper operation, it is necessary to know precisely the angular position of the rotor of the brushless DC electric motor.
Indeed, such electric motors include electromagnetic excitation coils arranged at the stator and supplied alternately via an inverter to allow the driving of permanent magnets arranged on the rotor.
However, in order to be able to switch the switches of the inverter and therefore the supply of the electromagnetic coils at optimal times to allow the desired rotor drive to be obtained, it is necessary to know the position of the rotor at least by sectors with a few specific points during state switching. (In general, for a trapezoidal excitation, six commutations at each revolution of the rotor)
In FIG. 1 a diagram is shown of a device for angular detection of the rotor of an electric motor comprising three Hall effect sensors according to the state of the art. As we can see in this figure, three Hall effect sensors denoted Hi,
H2 and H3 are arranged on the stator ST around a control magnet AC, for example an annular magnet, integral with the rotor of the direct current electric motor of which only the axis X is visible in FIG. The AC control magnet has two poles marked S for the South Pole and N for the North Pole.
The three Hall effect sensors Ηι, H2 and H3 are angularly distributed at 120 ° from one another so as to obtain the six instants of switching of the electromagnetic excitation coils of the stator per cycle corresponding to a rotation angle of 6o ° of the rotor.
Figure îb shows, in its upper part, the signals from the three Hall effect sensors Ηι, H2 and H3 and, in its lower part, the power supply signals for the electromagnetic excitation coils during a 360 ° cycle rotor. The cycle is divided into 6 stages of 6o ° delimited by the vertical dotted lines.
In a first step denoted 1 going from o to 6o ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensor H3 and to a low signal from the sensors Hi and H2, the current passes from phase A to phase B (the signal corresponding to phase A is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase B is at -1 and the signal corresponding to phase C is at o).
In a second step denoted 2 going from 60 to 120 ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensors H2 and H3 and to a low signal from the sensor Hi, the current passes from phase A to phase C (the signal corresponding to phase A is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase B is at o and the signal corresponding to phase C is at -1).
In a third step denoted 3 going from 120 to 180 ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensor H2 and to a low signal from the sensors Hi and H3, the current passes from phase B to phase C (the signal corresponding to phase B is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase A is at o and the signal corresponding to phase C is at -1).
In a fourth step denoted 4 going from 180 to 240 ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensors Hi and H2 and to a low signal from the sensor H3, the current passes from phase B to phase A (the signal corresponding to phase B is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase C is at o and the signal corresponding to phase A is at -1).
In a fifth step denoted 5 going from 240 to 300 ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensor Hi and to a low signal from the sensors H2 and H3, the current passes from phase C to phase A (the signal corresponding to phase C is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase B is at o and the signal corresponding to phase A is at -1).
In a sixth step denoted 6 going from 300 to 360 ° corresponding to a high signal from the sensors Hi and H3 and to a low signal from the sensor H2, the current passes from phase C to phase B (the signal corresponding to phase C is at 1, the signal corresponding to phase A is at o and the signal corresponding to phase B is at -1).
Thus, the use of three Hall effect sensors Ηι, H2 and H3 makes it possible to precisely determine the six positions of the rotor corresponding to the six instants of switching change of the electromagnetic excitation coils.
However, such a solution is expensive because of the large number of Hall effect sensors required.
Furthermore, it is also known to use a method without sensors based on the measurement of the counterelectromotive forces of the excitation coils of the stator.
However, such a solution requires starting the brushless direct current electric motor in synchronous mode until the speed of rotation of the rotor and therefore the counter-electromotive forces are sufficient to be measured and to be able to be used for controlling the switching moments.
However, such a start in synchronous mode is only possible for applications where the load is low at start and relatively known (for example for controlling a fan). It is therefore understood that this solution is not applicable to a geared motor for a motor vehicle wiping system which requires a high load and a high torque from start up and which can be started with almost mile loads as in in the case of wet windows) or with high loads (as in the case of brooms stuck due to ice or snow).
The present invention therefore aims to provide a solution to allow effective control of a gear motor for wiping system whose cost is lower than the solution of the prior art comprising three Hall effect sensors.

The following embodiments are examples. Although the description refers to one or more embodiments, this does not necessarily mean that each reference relates to the same embodiment or that the characteristics apply only to a single embodiment. Simple features of different embodiments can also be combined or interchanged to provide other embodiments.
FIG. 2 represents an example of a geared motor 101 intended to equip a motor vehicle wiping system.
The gear motor 101 comprises a casing 102 on which are mounted an electric motor 103 coupled to a reduction mechanism 104 having a predefined reduction ratio, for example typically a 1/69 ratio.
The reduction mechanism 104 comprises an endless screw 107 driven in rotation by the electric motor 103 and a toothed wheel 108 secured to an output shaft 109 mounted movable in rotation along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the screw without late 107.
The reduction mechanism 104 is arranged in such a way that the endless screw 107 cooperates by meshing with the toothed wheel 108, so that the output shaft 109 is able to be driven indirectly in rotation by the electric motor 103.
The output shaft 109 is generally connected either directly or via a linkage to a wiping arm on which is fixed a wiper blade.
In order to control the wiping system and in particular the speed of the wiping brush, an output angular position sensor 110 (schematically represented in FIG. 2) is arranged at the output shaft 109. The position sensor output angular 110 is for example an analog angular sensor which makes it possible to know the angular position of the output shaft 109 with an accuracy of 0, i °.
In the context of the present invention, the electric motor 103 is a brushless direct current electric motor.
As shown in FIG. 3a which represents a schematic view in cross section, the electric motor 103 comprises a stator 13 of cylindrical shape in the center of which is housed a rotor 15.
The rotor 15 is mounted mobile in rotation around the central axis X of the electric motor 103 and comprises a permanent magnet 16 whose magnetic poles are represented by the letters N for the North pole and S for the South pole. However, the present invention is not limited to a permanent magnet 16 of the rotor 15 comprising two poles but also extends to a permanent magnet comprising a higher number of magnetic poles.
The stator 13 comprises electromagnetic excitation coils 17 of the rotor 15 arranged around the rotor 15. The electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are distributed regularly over the circumference of the stator 13. The electric motor 103 is here a three-phase motor whose phases are denoted A, B and C. The electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are six in number (two coils being associated to form a phase) and are connected in a star arrangement or Y arrangement.
Of course, a different number of electromagnetic excitation coils 17 as well as a different assembly, for example in a triangle can also be used.
As shown in FIG. 3b, the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are supplied by an inverter 19 managed by a control unit 21.
The inverter 19 comprises three branches denoted Βι, B2 and B3 intended to supply the respective phases A, B and C of the stator 13.
Each branch Βι, B2 or B3 comprises two switches 23 whose switching causes the supply or not of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 of phase A, B or C associated.
The switches 23 of the inverter 19 are controlled by the control unit 21 in order to obtain a sequence of six switching steps represented by arrows numbered from 1 to 6 in FIG. 3c.
The first stage i corresponds to the passage of the current from phase A to phase B, the second stage 2 corresponds to the passage of the current from phase C to phase B, the third stage 3 corresponds to the passage of the current from phase C to phase A, the fourth 4 corresponds to the passage of current from phase B to phase A, the fifth step 5 corresponds to the passage of current from phase B to phase C and the sixth step 6 corresponds to the passage of current from phase A to phase C.
The six switching steps correspond to an electrical 360 ° rotation, that is to say a complete 360 ° rotation of the rotor in the case where the permanent magnet comprises a single pair of poles. In the case of a magnet comprising two pairs of poles, the six switching steps, corresponding to 360 ° electrical, correspond to a rotation of 180 ° of the rotor and in the case of a magnet comprising three pairs of poles, the six switching steps, corresponding to 360 ° electrical, correspond to a 120 ° rotation of the rotor. The transition from one switching to another is therefore carried out at each rotation of an angle of 60 ^° electrical of the rotor.
At each stage, the current flows through two phases while the third has a floating potential. The sequence of the six switching steps allows the creation of a rotating magnetic field at the level of the stator 13 which allows the rotor 15 to be driven in rotation.
Although this six-step switching scheme is the best known with a phase conduction of 120 ° and a non-excitation of 6o °, the present invention is not limited to this single switching scheme but also extends to others types of switching, for example with 180 ° or intermediate phase conduction or different excitation dosages during conduction which may go as far as sinusoidal progression.
The electric motor 103 also includes a device for determining the angular position of the rotor 25 (see FIG. 3b) connected to the control unit 21 to allow the control unit 21 to determine the different switching times and control accordingly the switches 23 of the inverter 19.
The device for determining the angular position of the rotor 25 is connected to the angular output position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 and is configured to determine the position of the rotor 15 relative to the stator 13 from the angular position of the output shaft 109 supplied by the angular position sensor 110 and the reduction ratio of the reduction mechanism 104.
Thus, the measurement provided by the output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 is used by the device for determining the angular position of the rotor 25 to determine the position of the rotor 15.
The angular position of the rotor 15 thus determined is then transmitted by the device for determining the angular position of the rotor 25 to the control unit 21 to allow the determination of the switching instants of the inverter 19.
A) First embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 only
Referring to Figures 2 and 3b, according to a first embodiment, only the output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 is used by the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15, this in particular to determine the position of the rotor 15 for low rotational speeds, that is to say less than a predetermined threshold, for example for speeds less than 10% of the maximum speed of the motor. This is the starting phase of the brushless DC electric motor 3.
For rotation speeds equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, that is to say after the start-up phase, the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 can determine the angular position of the rotor 15 from the measured electromotive forces. at the level of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17.
The electro-motive force is measured at the level of a non-powered coil. For example in the case of step 1 of FIG. 3c, the current is transmitted from phase A to phase B so that the electromotive force is measured at the level of the electromagnetic excitation coil 17 associated with the phase C. The measurement of the electromotive force is then transmitted to the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15.
The device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 then compares the value of the electromotive force measured with a predetermined threshold associated with a predetermined position of the rotor 15. For example, in the case of a symmetrical supply, the instant switching corresponds to the passage to zero (passage from a positive level to a negative level or the reverse) of the voltage value of the counter-electromotive force across the terminals of the non-energized electromagnetic excitation coil 17.
In addition, the measured electromotive forces are used to correct or even calibrate the output angular position sensor 110, that is to say to adapt, if necessary, the value of the angle provided by the position sensor. angular output 110 in case of drift of the latter.
The precision provided by the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 is thus improved and can thus be sufficient to determine the angular position of the rotor 15 for low rotational speeds so that the electric motor 103 does not require any dedicated sensor. to the angular measurement of the rotor 15.
According to a variant, it is possible to continue to use the position of the rotor 15 determined from the measurement signals delivered by the output angular position sensor 110 even for the rotational speeds equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.
B) Second embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 combined with a single Hall effect sensor 27 according to a first configuration
According to a second embodiment, the electric motor 103 also comprises a single Hall effect sensor 27 disposed on the stator 13 and associated with a control magnet 29 integral in rotation with the rotor 15 as shown in FIG. 4.
The control magnet 29 has the same number of magnetic poles as the rotor 15, that is to say two in the present case, a North magnetic pole noted N and a South magnetic pole noted S. In addition, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 are synchronized with the magnetic poles of the rotor 15 so that the signal from the Hall effect sensor 27 corresponds to one of the switching changes of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17.
The device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 is connected to the Hall effect sensor 27. The signal received from the Hall effect sensor 27 allows the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 to accurately detect the position rotor 15 every 180 °.
The device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 can therefore combine the signals from the output angular position sensor 110 and those from the Hall effect sensor 27 to determine the angular position of the rotor 15.
In this case, the signal from the Hall effect sensor 27 is in particular used to correct or even calibrate the angular measurement originating from the output angular position sensor 110 in particular in the event of drift of the latter.
FIG. 5 is a graph of a curve f representing the angular position a of the rotor 15 as a function of the signal of the output signal s of the output angular position sensor 110. The curve has a general sawtooth shape and varies between a minimum value of o ° and a maximum value of 360 °. Figure 5 also shows on its right side and in a 90 ° clockwise rotation, the six stages of switching phases A, B and C depending on the position of the rotor 15. It should be noted that the order of the steps is reversed with respect to the cycle of FIG. 3c, the order of the steps depending on the direction of rotation desired for the rotor 15.
Thus, a measurement error As at the level of the output signal s output angular position sensor 110 produces an error Δα on the estimation of the angular position of the rotor 15 and therefore on the associated switching instants (corresponding to the multiples of 6o °).
The use of the Hall effect sensor 27 makes it possible to obtain a reference signal for certain predetermined angles, here the angles o ° (or 360 °) and 180 °, which makes it possible to correct the angular position of the rotor 15 obtained from of the output angular position sensor 110. The Hall effect sensor 27 thus makes it possible to correct or calibrate the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109.
FIG. 6 shows the graph of FIG. 5 on which the signal h from the Hall effect sensor 27 is represented on the right hand side. The changes in state of the Hall effect sensor 27 are reported at a portion of the curve f of the signal s from the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109. These changes of state correspond to the angles o, 180 and 360 °, corresponding to changes in the switching of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 and are represented at signal s by the Hi points.
Thus, the Hall effect sensor 27 makes it possible to correct the angular position of the rotor 15 for these angles.
Furthermore, as for the first embodiment, for rotational speeds greater than a predetermined threshold, the electromotive forces measured at the level of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 can be used by the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 to determine the position of the latter. The measured electromotive forces can also be used to correct the signal obtained from the angular position sensor 110 and the Hall effect sensor 27 or to correct or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensor. 27.
The position of the rotor 15 determined by the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 is transmitted to the control unit 21. The control unit 21 is configured to control the supply of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 via the inverter 19 from the position of the rotor 15 determined.
In practice, the device 25 for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 and the control unit 21 can be combined in a single piece of equipment, for example a microprocessor, a microcontroller, an ASIC (an integrated circuit specific to an application) or any other suitable treatment means known to those skilled in the art.
Thus, the use of a single Hall effect sensor 27 makes it possible to obtain a signal whose change of state corresponds to precise and predetermined positions of the rotor 15, these predetermined positions being configured to correspond with some of the angles for which switches must be made at the power supply to the electromagnetic excitation coils 17.
In addition, the signal h from the Hall effect sensor 27 makes it possible to correct the value of the position of the rotor 15 estimated from the signal s from the output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109.
Alternatively, the Hall effect sensor 27 could be used only to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 (in this case, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 do not need to be synchronized with the magnetic poles of the rotor 15 but it would only be necessary to know the angles corresponding to a change of state of the Hall effect sensor 27).
The measured electromotive forces can also be used to determine the position of the rotor 15 and to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensor 27.
In addition, it should be noted that the example shown for the various embodiments corresponds to a two-pole motor and a unit reduction ratio, but the present invention is not limited to such an example but extends to d other configurations having a different number of poles and a reduction ratio.
C) Third embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 combined with a single Hall effect sensor 27 according to a second configuration
According to a third embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the electric motor 103 comprises a single Hall effect sensor 27 as for the second embodiment but the associated control magnet 29 ′ has a number of magnetic poles equal by example three times the number of magnetic poles of the rotor 15. In the present case, the number of poles of the control magnet 29 ′ therefore comprises six magnetic poles denoted Ni, N2 and N3 for the north poles and Si, S2 and S3 for the south poles as shown in FIG. 7. Each magnetic pole of the control magnet 29 'occupies an angular section of 6o °.
The electric motor 3 is also similar to the second embodiment and only the operating differences will now be described.
Due to the six magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 ', the Hall effect sensor 27 can detect a precise angular position of the rotor every 6o °. The electric motor 103 is therefore configured so that the changes in signal state provided by the single Hall effect sensor 27 correspond to the switching changes of the inverter 19 as shown in the graph in FIG. 8.
In fact, FIG. 8 represents in its upper part, the signal h coming from the Hall effect sensor 27 as a function of the angular position of the rotor 15 and the position s of the rotor 15 calculated from the signal of the output angular position sensor. 110.
Four successive changes of state of the Hall effect sensor 27 are reported at the level of the signal s from the output angular position sensor 110 and represented by the points hia, hib, h2a and h2b which are therefore spaced at 6o ° (positions 6o °, 120 ° 180 ° and 240 °).
The six stages corresponding to the switching cycle of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are also shown in the lower part of the figure.
8.
The changes in state of the signal from the Hall effect sensor 27 therefore make it possible on the one hand to determine the instants at which the switching changes of the inverter 19 must be made and on the other hand to calibrate or correct the position angle determined using the output angular position sensor 110.
This embodiment makes it possible to control the electric motor 3 when the estimate of the position of the rotor 15 determined from a measurement of the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 has an error of up to + / -6o °. Indeed, the changes of state (from low level to high level (at 120 and 240 °) or from high level to low level (at 6o ° and 180 °) occur every 120 ° (which means that a error of ± 120 ° of the angular position sensor 110 makes it possible to differentiate two changes of state). However, during a start-up, it is necessary to know the position before the change of state of the signal h of figure 8, if we are at the low level, it is necessary to know if we are between the points hia and hib that is to say between 60 and 120 ° or if we are between the points h2a and h2b that is to say between 180 and 240 °), it is therefore necessary that the output sensor has an error of less than ± 6o ° to be able to carry out this determination.
Alternatively, the Hall effect sensor 27 could be used only to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 (in this case, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 'do not need to be synchronized with the poles of the rotor 15 but it would only be necessary to know the angles corresponding to a change of state of the Hall effect sensor 27).
The measured electromotive forces can also be used to determine the position of the rotor 15 and to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensor 27.
D) Fourth embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 combined with two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b according to a first configuration
According to a fourth embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, the electric motor 103 comprises two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b associated with a control magnet 29 ′ whose number of magnetic poles is equal to three times the number of poles magnetic rotor 15 and similar to the control magnet 29 'of the third embodiment.
In the present case, the number of poles of the control magnet 29 ′ therefore comprises six magnetic poles as shown in FIG. 9. The two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are for example arranged around the rotor 15 and offset by an angular position such that the signals from the two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are offset by a quarter of a period, in our case the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b can be offset by 30 °, 90 ° or 150 °. Of course, other angles (different from a multiple of 6o °) can also be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The electric motor 103 is also similar to the second embodiment and only the operating differences will now be described.
The electric motor 103 is configured so that the changes in state of the signal supplied by one of the two Hall effect sensors 27a or 27b, for example the sensor 27b, correspond to the switching changes of the inverter 19 as shown in the graph in Figure 10.
Two changes of state of each of the Hall effect sensor 27b are reported at the signal s from the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 and represented by the points hia, hib, h2a and h2b which are positioned at 6o ° 120 °, 180 ° and 240 °). The two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b arranged at 90 ° therefore make it possible to obtain a detection of the position of the rotor 15 every 30 °. There are four possible states: the two signals at the low level, the two signals at the high level, the signal h_a at the low level and the signal h_b at the high level and finally the signal h_a at the high level and signal h_b at the low level. Because of the 30 ° offset between the two signals, there is a 90 ° difference between two successive identical states.
The six stages corresponding to the switching cycle of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are also shown in the lower part of FIG. 10.
Thus, one of the Hall effect sensors, for example the sensor 27b, makes it possible to provide the instants of switching changes of the inverter 19 as in the third embodiment and the other Hall effect sensor, for example the sensor 27a, provides the direction of rotation of the rotor 15.
In addition, it is possible to increase the precision with which the position of the rotor 15 is determined. Indeed, as for the third embodiment, the signals from the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b can be used to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110.
The measured electromotive forces can also be used to determine the position of the rotor 15 and to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b.
This embodiment makes it possible to control the electric motor 103 when the estimate of the position of the rotor 15 determined from a measurement of the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 reaches an error of up to + / 90 °.
Indeed, two identical state changes (passage from a high level to a low level or passage from a low level to a high level) of a Hall effect sensor 27a or 27b occur every 120 ° for example between points hia and h2a or points hib and h2b (which means that an error of less than ± 120 ° from the angular position sensor 110 makes it possible to differentiate two changes of state).
However, during a start-up, it is necessary to know the position before the change of state (in the case of FIG. 10, if one is at the low level for the two signals h_a and h_b, it is necessary to know if we are between the points hia and hib i.e. between 90 ° and 120 ° or if we are between the points h2a and h2b that is to say between 210 ° and 240 °), it is therefore necessary that the output sensor has an error of less than ± 90 ° to be able to make this determination.
Alternatively, the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b could be used only to calibrate the output angular position sensor no (in this case, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 'do not need to be synchronized with the magnetic poles of the rotor 15 but it would only be necessary to know the angles corresponding to a change of state of the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b).
E) Fifth embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 combined with two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b according to a second configuration.
According to a fifth embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12, the electric motor 103 comprises two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b associated with a control magnet 29 comprising four magnetic poles, which corresponds to four times the number of pairs of motor poles.
In addition, the magnetic poles have an asymmetric angular distribution on the 29 ”control magnet. For example, a first North Pole Ni and a first South Pole Si are each spread over an angular section of 120 ° while a second North Pole N2 and a second South Pole S2 are each spread over an angular section of 6o °.
Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are for example arranged 180 ° from each other around the axis of the rotor 15 (other angles can also be used as 6o °, however, it is necessary to have a switching every 6o °).
The electric motor 103 is also similar to the second embodiment and only the operating differences will now be described.
The electric motor 103 is configured so that the changes in state of the signal supplied by the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b correspond to the switching changes of the inverter 19 as shown in the graph in FIG. 12.
Two changes of state of each of the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are reported at the level of the signal s from the output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 and represented by the points hia hib, h2a and h2b which are positioned at 6o °, 120 °, 240 ° and 300 °). The two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b arranged at 180 ° therefore make it possible to obtain a detection of the position of the rotor 15 every 6o °.
The six stages corresponding to the switching cycle of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are also shown in the lower part of FIG. 12.
As for the fourth embodiment, the signals from the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are used to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110. The measured electromotive forces can also be used to determine the position of the rotor 15 and to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b.
This embodiment makes it possible to control the electric motor 103 when the estimate of the position of the rotor 15 determined from a measurement of the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 reaches an error of up to + / 120 °. Indeed, two identical positions of the signals h_a and h_b of the sensors 27a and 27b are separated by 120 °. For example, the two signals h_a and h_b are at the high level between the points hia and hib, that is to say between 6o ° and 120 ° then between the points h2a and h2b, that is to say between 240 ° and 300 °. Thus, to determine at start-up whether one is between 6o ° and 120 ° or between 240 ° and 300 °, it suffices to use an angular position sensor 110 whose error is less than 120 °. Such a configuration therefore makes it possible to use an angular position sensor 110 of low precision and therefore of low cost.
Alternatively, the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b could be used only to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 (in this case, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 do not need to be synchronized with the magnetic poles of the rotor 15 but it would only be necessary to know the angles corresponding to a change of state of the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b).
F) Sixth embodiment: output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 combined with two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b according to a third configuration
According to a sixth embodiment illustrated in Figures 13 and 14, the electric motor 103 includes two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b associated with a control magnet 29 'comprising four magnetic poles as shown in Figure 13 which corresponds to four times the number of pairs of rotor poles 15.
The magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 ′ have an alternating distribution, but the North Ni and N2 magnetic poles are each spread over an angular section of 120 ° while the South Si and S2 magnetic poles are spread over a angular section of 6o °.
Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are for example arranged at 6o ° from each other around the axis of the rotor 15 (other angles can also be used).
The electric motor 103 is also similar to the second embodiment and only the operating differences will now be described.
The electric motor 103 is configured so that the changes in state of the signal supplied by the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b correspond to the switching changes of the inverter 19 as shown in the graph in FIG. 14.
Two changes of state of each of the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are reported at the signal s from the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 9 and represented by the points hia, hib, h2a and h2b which are positioned at o °, 6o °, 180 ° and 240 °. The two Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b arranged at 6o ° therefore make it possible to obtain a detection of the position of the rotor 15 every 6o °. In addition, two identical positions of the signals h_a and h_b of the sensors 27a and 27b are separated by 120 °. For example, the two signals h_a and h_b are at a low level between the points hia and hib, that is to say between o ° and 6o ° then between the points h2a and h2b, that is to say between 180 ° and 240 °. Thus, to determine at startup whether it is between o ° and 6o ° or between 180 ° and 240 °, it suffices to use an angular position sensor 110 whose error is less than i20 °. Such a configuration therefore also makes it possible to use an angular position sensor 110 of low precision and therefore of low cost.
The six stages corresponding to the switching cycle of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 are also represented on the lower part of FIG. 14 ·
As in the fourth embodiment, the signals from the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b are used to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110. The measured electromotive forces can also be used to determine the position of the rotor 15 and to correct and / or calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 and / or the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b.
This embodiment makes it possible to control the electric motor 103 when the estimate of the position of the rotor 15 determined from a measurement of the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 reaches an error of up to + / 120 °.
Alternatively, the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b could be used only to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 (in this case, the magnetic poles of the control magnet 29 'do not need to be synchronized with the magnetic poles of the rotor 15 but it would only be necessary to know the angles corresponding to a change of state of the Hall effect sensors 27a and 27b).
Other embodiments comprising one or two Hall effect sensors 27, 27a, 27b associated with a control magnet 29, 29 ', 29, 29' comprising a greater or lesser number of magnetic poles can also be envisaged in the context of the present invention. Hall effect sensors 27, 27a, 27b making it possible to determine the switching times of the inverter 19 and / or to calibrate the output angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109.
Thus, the use of the signal supplied by an angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 of a geared motor 101 to estimate the position of the rotor 15 in order to control the supply of the electromagnetic excitation coils 17 of the electric motor 103 of the gear motor 101 makes it possible to reduce the number of dedicated sensors necessary for determining the angular position of the rotor 15 and thus to reduce the cost of the electric motor 103. In addition, the use of the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 allows the position of the rotor 15 to be estimated for low rotational speeds and can therefore be combined with a sensorless technique based on the measurement of the electromotive forces at the coils d electromagnetic excitation 17 to provide a low-cost electric motor 103 usable in applications requiring starting at full load such as for example a gear motor 101 for wiping device of motor vehicle.
In addition, depending on the precision required in determining the position of the rotor 15, different configurations requiring one or two Hall effect sensors 27, 27a, 27b can be used to obtain a reliable estimate of the position of the rotor 15 in requiring less than three Hall effect sensors as is the case in the embodiments of the state of the art.
On the other hand, the signals of the electromotive forces can then be used to correct or calibrate the measurements made by the angular position sensor 110 of the output shaft 109 and / or the Hall effect sensors 27, 27a and 27b when these are used.
