The first thing to note is that because people's perception of vibration is non-linear, when people experience strong and weak vibration stimulation in a short period of time, they will obviously perceive strong vibration stimulation, but will not clearly perceive weak ones. Vibration stimulation. Based on this, if a strong vibration stimulation in a specific direction is applied to a person in a continuous period of time, the person can have a sense of movement in the specific direction. Based on this, the human perceivable directional acceleration (target acceleration) waveform is defined as the linear superposition of the fundamental frequency acceleration and its second harmonic, as shown in the following formula:
{umlaut over (x)}
ref
=A
1 sin ωt+A2 sin(2ωt+Φ0)
In the formula, A1,ω and ω are the amplitude of fundamental frequency acceleration and angular frequency respectively, and A2, are the amplitude and phase of the second harmonic acceleration, respectively, and −π means the opposite direction.

101. Determine the system gain and current phase of the linear motor system.
The embodiment of the present invention first needs to determine the relevant parameters of the linear motor to be controlled, so as to know the current state of the linear motor and how to control the linear motor. In this step, at least the system gain and current phase of the linear motor system should be determined. By installing the system gain of the linear motor system, the magnification between the control signal of the linear motor and the driving signal of the linear motor can be known, and then how to control the linear motor can be known. In this step, the current phase of the linear motor can be obtained through the position sensor in the linear motor, and then the current state of the linear motor can be obtained.
102. Obtain the target acceleration and amplitude of initial value of the linear motor.
It is understandable that the vibrator in the linear motor is moved directionally by the magnetic force in the linear motor. When the resistance of the linear motor is constant, according to Ohm's law: The greater the voltage applied across the linear motor, the greater the current flowing into the linear motor. A larger current can make the linear motor generate greater magnetic force, which in turn can make the linear motor's vibrator obtain greater acceleration. In other words, there is a corresponding relationship between the acceleration of the linear motor's vibrator and the voltage applied to both ends of the linear motor. Please refer to
103. Calculate driving voltage based on target acceleration and amplitude of initial value, system gain, and current phase.
In step 101, it is known that the system gain and current phase of the linear motor system are installed. After obtaining the linear motor's target acceleration and amplitude of initial value in step 102, this step is used to calculate the linear motor's need to achieve the target acceleration driving voltage. Furthermore, the driving voltage can be used to load the linear motor to achieve effective control of the linear motor to express the vibration effect in the specific direction.
It can be seen that the driving voltage generation method of the linear motor of the present invention knows the current state of the linear motor by determining the system gain and current phase of the linear motor system. Then get the target acceleration and amplitude of initial value of the linear motor to get the target status of the linear motor control. Calculate driving voltage based on target acceleration and amplitude of initial value, system gain and current phase, obtain the driving voltage required to convert the linear motor from the current state to the target status. Because of the driving voltage, the linear motor can generate acceleration in a specific direction. The linear motor will show strong vibration stimulation in the specific direction. The driving voltage generated by this voltage generation method can effectively control the linear motor to express the directional vibration effect in the specific direction.

201. Determine the system gain and current phase of the linear motor system.
The execution of this step is similar to the operation of step 101 in
It is worth noting that, in this step, the system gain and the current phase of the linear motor system can be determined by using a step signal or a chirp signal to sweep the frequency.
202. Obtain the target acceleration, amplitude of initial value, and amplitude of target voltage of the installed linear motor system.
The execution of this step is similar to the operation of step 102 in
It should be noted that this step also needs to further obtain the amplitude of target voltage of the target acceleration of the installed linear motor system, and the amplitude of target voltage is the minimum voltage required to drive the linear motor.
203. Calculate driving voltage based on target acceleration and amplitude of initial value, system gain, and current phase.
In this step, the voltage at each moment based on target acceleration can be calculated by the following formula:
In the formula, U is the driving voltage.
A1 is the amplitude of fundamental frequency acceleration of the target acceleration.
ω is the angular frequency.
t is time.
<G(jω) is the current phase.
|G(jω)| is system gain.
A2 is the second harmonic acceleration amplitude of the target acceleration.
ϕ0=0 or −π, which means the opposite direction.
204. Determine whether the driving voltage reaches the amplitude of target voltage, and if the driving voltage does not reach the amplitude of target voltage, perform step 205. If the driving voltage reaches the amplitude of target voltage, step 206 is executed.
After calculating the driving voltage for the linear motor in step 203, this step further compares the driving voltage with the amplitude of target voltage obtained in step 202 to determine whether the driving voltage reaches the amplitude of target voltage, so as to determine whether the driving voltage is acceptable Drive the linear motor normally.
205. Increase the driving voltage according to the preset rules to obtain the drive increase voltage, use the drive increase voltage as the new driving voltage, and trigger the execution of step 204.
When it is determined in step 204 that the driving voltage has not reached the amplitude of target voltage, the driving voltage is increased in this step according to the preset rules, and the drive increase voltage is obtained. For example, the preset rules can be: When the fundamental frequency of target acceleration is lower than 70 Hz, the first preset ratio of A1:A2 is equal to 1:1. Gradually increase the values of A1 and A2 according to the first preset ratio, and then recalculate the new driving voltage according to the formula in step 203 to obtain drive increase voltage. Or, when the fundamental frequency of the target acceleration is higher than 65 Hz and lower than 90 Hz, the second preset ratio of A1:A2 is equal to 2:1. Gradually increase the values of A1 and A2 according to the second preset ratio, and then recalculate the new driving voltage according to the formula in step 203 to obtain drive increase voltage. The above is only an example. There are many preset rules for improving the driving voltage, and there are no further restrictions here. After the drive increase voltage is obtained in this step, the drive increase voltage is used as the new driving voltage in this step, and step 204 is triggered to determine whether the new driving voltage reaches the amplitude of target voltage again.
206. Output driving voltage.
When it is determined in step 204 that the driving voltage reaches the amplitude of target voltage, this step can directly apply the driving voltage to both ends of the linear motor.
It is understandable that after periodically determining the magnitude and direction of the target acceleration for the linear motor, the driving voltage corresponding to the target acceleration at each moment in the time period can be calculated according to the formula in step 203 above. The driving voltage set at each moment can form the driving voltage waveform that periodically controls the linear motor.

It can be seen that the driving voltage generation device of the linear motor of the present invention knows the current state of the linear motor by determining the system gain and current phase of the linear motor.
