The working principle of a brushless DC motor (BLDC) is based on electromagnetic induction and electronic commutation technology. Its core lies in using an electronic controller to switch the current, thereby driving the rotation of the motor, without relying on the structure of mechanical brushes and commutators.
- Basic composition
A brushless DC motor is mainly composed of two parts: the motor body and the driver. The main body of the electric motor includes a stator and a rotor, where the stator is a coil group and the rotor is a magnet group. The driver is composed of power electronic devices and integrated circuits, responsible for receiving various signals and controlling the operation of the motor.
- Working principle
1) Magnetic field generation and detection:
The coils on the stator generate a magnetic field through electrification.
There are magnetized permanent magnets attached to the rotor, forming a rotating magnetic field.
In order to detect the polarity of the motor rotor, position sensors (such as Hall sensors) are installed inside the motor, which can sense changes in the rotor magnetic field and provide feedback on the position information to the driver.
2) Electronic commutation:
The driver determines which phases need to be powered on next based on the information provided by the position sensor.
The control system continuously changes the energized phase and the magnitude of the current to achieve control of different torques. This process is called electronic commutation, which replaces the mechanical commutation of traditional brushed motors.
3) Current control and torque generation:
The driver controls the magnitude and direction of the current in the coil through power electronic devices such as power transistors.
The current generates a magnetic field in the stator coil, interacts with the rotor magnetic field, generates torque, and drives the motor to rotate.
4) Speed control and feedback:
Brushless DC motors typically use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to control the motor’s speed. The PWM signal determines the switching frequency and commutation timing of power transistors, thereby controlling the average current and speed of the motor.
The motor is equipped with a Hall sensor that can sense magnetic fields as part of the speed closed-loop control. By comparing the difference between the actual speed and the set speed, the controller can adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signal to maintain a stable speed.
- Characteristics and Applications
Brushless DC motors have the characteristics of fast response, large starting torque, and the ability to provide rated torque from zero speed to rated speed. Meanwhile, due to the elimination of carbon brushes and commutators, brushless DC motors have higher reliability, lower noise, and longer service life. These advantages have made brushless DC motors widely used in industrial automation, household appliances, electric vehicles, aerospace and other fields.
The working principle of brushless DC motor is based on electromagnetic induction and electronic commutation technology. By precisely controlling the magnitude and direction of the current in the coil, as well as using position sensors for real-time feedback and adjustment, brushless DC motors can achieve efficient, stable, and reliable operation.
