Abstract

Abstract There is provided a drive control apparatus for a motor having a drive device for controlling current supplied to an armature coil, a control device for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor, and a mode switch device for comparing a rotation speed signal and a predetermined reference voltage and generating a normal rotation mode signal or a reverse rotation mode signal. Furthermore, the drive control device has the drive device, the control device and a signal delay device. The signal delay device delays the supply of a stop signal from the control device by a predetermined time, and a reverse current is supplied to the armature coil during the delay time.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
A drive control apparatus for a motor, comprising: drive means for controlling current supplied to an armature coil; control means for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor based on a rotation speed signal proportional to the rotation speed of said rotor; and mode switch means disposed between said drive means and said control means; wherein said mode switch means has comparing means for comparing a rotation speed signal output from said control means and a predetermined reference voltage, wherein said comparing means generates a normal rotation mode signal when an output voltage of the rotation speed signal is more than the predetermined reference voltage, and generates a reverse rotation mode signal when the output voltage of the rotation speed signal is less than in the predetermined reference voltage, braking being performed by free run of said rotor when said comparing means generates the normal rotation mode signal, and by supplying a reverse current to said armature coil when comparing means generates the reverse mode signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 166 words
A drive control apparatus for a motor, comprising: drive means for controlling current supplied to an armature coil; control means for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor based on a rotation speed signal proportional to the rotation speed of said rotor; and mode switch means disposed between said drive means and said control means; wherein said mode switch means has comparing means for comparing a rotation speed signal output from said control means and a predetermined reference voltage, wherein said comparing means generates a normal rotation mode signal when an output voltage of the rotation speed signal is more than the predetermined reference voltage, and generates a reverse rotation mode signal when the output voltage of the rotation speed signal is less than in the predetermined reference voltage, braking being performed by free run of said rotor when said comparing means generates the normal rotation mode signal, and by supplying a reverse current to said armature coil when comparing means generates the reverse mode signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 57 words
A drive control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said control means is connected to a negative input terminal of said comparing means, the predetermined reference voltage is supplied to a positive input terminal of said comparing means, and a feedback resistor is connected between an output terminal and said positive input terminal of said comparing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A drive control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a rectifier diode is disposed between said output terminal of said comparing means and said drive means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 164 words
A drive control apparatus for a motor, comprising: drive means for controlling current supplied to an armature coil; control means for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor based on a rotation speed signal proportional to the rotation speed of said rotor; and signal delay means disposed between said drive means and said control means, wherein, when a stop signal is output from said control means, said signal delay means delays the supply of the stop signal by a predetermined time, and thus a reverse current is supplied to said armature coil during the delay time of the stop signal, said stop signal from said control means being supplied to said drive means through said signal delay means and directly to said drive means, and the reverse current being supplied to said armature coil during the delay time of said signal delay means or the time when the stop signal is directly supplied from said control means to said drive means, which is longer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 164 words
A drive control apparatus for a motor, comprising: drive means for controlling current supplied to an armature coil; control means for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor based on a rotation speed signal proportional to the rotation speed of said rotor; and signal delay means disposed between said drive means and said control means, wherein, when a stop signal is output from said control means, said signal delay means delays the supply of the stop signal by a predetermined time, and thus a reverse current is supplied to said armature coil during the delay time of the stop signal, said stop signal from said control means being supplied to said drive means through said signal delay means and directly to said drive means, and the reverse current being supplied to said armature coil during the delay time of said signal delay means or the time when the stop signal is directly supplied from said control means to said drive means, which is longer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 181 words
A drive control apparatus for a motor, comprising: drive means for controlling current supplied to an armature coil; control means for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor based on a rotation speed signal proportional to the rotation speed of said rotor; and signal delay means disposed between said drive means and said control means, wherein, when a stop signal is output from said control means, said signal delay means delays the supply of the stop signal by a predetermined time, and thus a reverse current is supplied to said armature coil during the delay time of the stop signal, said signal delay means including a delay condenser, and the stop signal being delayed during the discharge of said delay condenser, and said signal delay means including a PNP transistor disposed in a charge route for charging said delay condenser and an NPN transistor disposed in a discharge route for discharging said delay condenser, said delay condenser being charged through said charge route when said PNP transistor is energized, and discharged through said discharge route when said NPN transistor is energized.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 181 words
