Hybrid stepper motors are widely used in medical and industrial automation fields due to high efficiency and output torque. The stepper motor generally uses open-loop operation but its special mechanical structure leads to a small viscous damping coefficient of the motor, which is sensitive to jitter vibration and loss of step during actual operation, seriously limiting the application of the hybrid stepper motor. To address this issue and enhance their control quality, an active damping-based method for suppressing speed oscillations in hybrid stepper motor is proposed.
The proposed method begins by establishing a motor model in the synchronous rotating coordinate system and controlling the current id as a constant current rating. The motor damping is increased by utilizing the position and speed error to generate the regulation current iq, which produces instantaneous torque to suppress oscillation. Additionally, damping control requires the acquisition of speed and position information, a sensorless control method combining synchronous frequency-extract filter (SFF) and third-order phase locked loop (PLL3rd) is proposed. SFF can filter the harmonic components in the back EMF, and PLL3rd can eliminate the steady-state error during speed variation.
To verify the effectiveness of the SFF-PLL3rd observation, the motor speed is set to be constant at 100 Hz, a comparison is made between the back EMF experimental results obtained using conventional PLL and the SFF-PLL3rd method under rated load. The conventional PLL observes a clearly distorted back EMF signal, which contains harmonic components. The SFF-PLL3rd method achieves a smoother back EMF waveform with significantly reduced amplitude of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonic components, indicating that the SFF-PLL3rd observation method can effectively filter out the harmonic components of the back EMF and improve the accuracy of rotor information observation.
To verify the suppression effect of the double closed-loop control method based on active damping on the speed oscillation of the hybrid stepper motor, the speed curves are compared between the undamped control and damping control at different speeds. The motor speed is accelerated from 0Hz to 10Hz and decelerated to standstill, with a maximum speed error of approximately 6Hz between the actual speed and the estimated speed. With damping control, the oscillation of the speed is reduced and the error between the actual speed and the estimated speed is reduced to 4 Hz. The motor accelerates from 0Hz to 300Hz and then decelerates to standstill, the speed oscillation is obvious without damping control, and the maximum speed error is about 90Hz. The speed oscillation of the motor with damping control is effectively suppressed, reducing the error between the actual and estimated speed to about 36Hz. When the motor speed is accelerated from 0 Hz to 500 Hz and then decelerated to 0 Hz, the error between the actual speed and the estimated speed is about 70 Hz without damping control, while with damping control, the speed oscillation is suppressed more obviously, reducing the error between the actual speed and the estimated speed to about 35 Hz, and the stepper motor shows steady-state operation.
The experimental results support that the damping double closed-loop control can suppress oscillation during motor operation at low speeds. As the speed increase, the effect of damping control on suppressing motor oscillation becomes more obvious. The overall control scheme can effectively improve the insufficient damping of the stepper motor and suppress the oscillation phenomenon during the actual operation, resulting in smooth motor operation.
