Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize motor drive at the time of overload or start by varying an oscillating frequency to always set an electric input to a piezoelectric element to a set value or less. CONSTITUTION:When a motor has no malfunction, the outputs of a phase limiter 63 and a current limiter 66 are 0V. Accordingly, a VCO (variable oscillator) 44 is controlled by the addition of the outputs of a constant phase circuit 67 and a constant current circuit 68 (voltages at points G, H). If a malfunction such as an overload, an excess input to a piezoelectric element at the time of start occurs, the output level of a phase difference detector 37 exceeds a lower phase limit value or the output level of a current detection level 51 exceeds an upper current limit. Thus, 5V is output to a point I or J by the operation of the limiter 63 or 66, the addition of voltages of the points G, H, I, J by an adder 70 exceeds 5V, and the oscillating frequency of the VCO momentarily becomes high, thereby preventing an excess input from momentarily being applied to the piezoelectric element.

Conventional technology Ultrasonic motor drive devices always track and drive the optimal drive frequency, which is a frequency determined by the mechanical resonance of the stator, as the frequency of the drive voltage, even if the drive conditions change due to changes in operating conditions and the environment such as temperature. A function is required to prevent a decline in efficiency and maintain stable rotational conditions.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such an ultrasonic motor drive device, when an overload is applied to the motor, a phase difference between the current proportional to the mechanical vibration of the piezoelectric body and the voltage applied to the piezoelectric body occurs. Since the oscillation frequency is varied so as to keep the oscillation frequency constant, an excessive input is applied to the piezoelectric body, causing the piezoelectric body to generate excessive heat and deteriorating the characteristics of the piezoelectric body.

In addition, the ultrasonic motor is driven near the anti-resonance point (the point where the electrical input is minimum), which is at a higher frequency than the resonance point (the point where the electrical input is maximum) of the resonance characteristics of the stator, or at a frequency higher than the anti-resonance point. It is desirable to start the motor at and sweep the frequency to the optimum driving point. However, due to changes in the environment such as temperature, the frequency at the time of starting the motor approaches the resonant frequency due to changes in the resonant characteristics of the stator or the temperature of the vCO. There was a problem.
