Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic performance of oscillating linear motors, which are used in household refrigerators, is improved by means of efficient parameter identification. Oscillating linear motor parameters are identified as a function of the piston position and the motor current. They are stored in a ROM table and used later for an accurate estimation of piston position. The identified motor parameters are also approximated to the $2^{nd}$-order surface functions, which are divided into 2 or 4 subsections in order to decrease identification errors. Experimental results are given to show that the proposed control scheme can provide oscillating linear motors with high dynamic performance.
