The permanent magnet brushless motor(BLDCM) is a trapezoidal wave brushless motor controlled by the six-step commutation method. It has the advantages of simple structure, good speed regulation performance, and high efficiency. With the development of various drive and control technologies of DC permanent magnet brushless motors, DC permanent magnet brushless motors have begun to be widely used in various high-performance fields [

3]. Limited by the back electromotive force, when the permanent magnet brushless DC motor is used at high speed and higher than the base speed, it is necessary to use the advanced trigger angle to control the permanent magnet brushless motor field weakening[

6]. At present, in the design of the motor field weakening control algorithm, it is considered that the direction of the magnetic potential generated by the stator remains unchanged, and the strength of the field weakening is linearly adjusted through the output lead angle. When the field weakening angle exceeds pi/3, the stator magnetic potential will lead the rotor magnetic potential pi*2/3+pi/3 = pi angle, resulting in a braking effect, so the maximum field weakening angle should be less than pi/3[

1] believes that field weakening will cause the effective current to increase. Considering the continuous working current limitation of motor operation, the leading conduction angle should not exceed pi/6 electrical angle. The conclusion of the literature[
3]is: the leading conduction angle is an effective method to realize the weakening of permanent magnet brushless motor. In the literature[
5], using the space magnetic potential method to analyze the operating state of the brushless motor, the weakening speed regulation performance and torque change of the leading conduction angle 0-pi/3 and pi/3-pi/2 motors are analyzed respectively. Literature[

8]believes that in the field weakening control, the traditional drive topology circuit will generate an inverter circulating current in the non-conducting phase, and the torque generated by the inverter circulating current is negative, which acts as a brake. Then a new inverter topology that eliminates the current circulating current of the inverter is proposed. In this article, it is believed that the inverter circulating current is a phenomenon formed by the back electromotive force, the freewheeling diode, and the power tube that is turned on in advance during the field weakening operation of the motor. The inverter circulating current will cause the stator magnetic potential to change, but the stator magnetic potential changes How to affect the operation of the motor still needs further analysis. The main work of this paper is to carry out the magnetic potential analysis and simulink simulation when the permanent magnet brushless motor is running at weakening, and analyze the influence of the inverter circulation on the magnetic potential and the influence of the magnetic potential on the motor torque. Finally, it is concluded that the permanent magnet brushless DC motor is turned on in advance in the field weakening control mode, the magnetic potential of the motor moves forward nonlinearly, and the weak magnetic flux is mainly generated by the inverter circulating current, which is 0-pi/6 Within the angle, the inverter circulating current has more field weakening effect and less driving effect; in the pi/6-pi/3 electrical angle, the inverter circulating current has more field weakening effect and less braking effect. Cause the motor efficiency to drop.
