Maintaining a Temperature of an Electric Motor Below a Threshold Temperature while the Electric Motor is Stalled to Generate Heat - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17886197 titled 'Maintaining a Temperature of an Electric Motor Below a Threshold Temperature while the Electric Motor is Stalled to Generate Heat
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that includes an electric motor, driver circuitry, a temperature sensor, and one or more processors. The processors control the driver circuitry to drive the electric motor to stall and generate heat, monitor the temperature of the motor using the temperature sensor while it is stalled, and ensure that the temperature of the motor remains below a certain threshold value while it is stalled.
- Electric apparatus with electric motor, driver circuitry, temperature sensor, and processors
- Processors control driver circuitry to stall motor and generate heat

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus includes an electric motor, driver circuitry to drive the electric motor, a temperature sensor to detect a temperature of the electric motor, and one or more processors. The one or more processors control the driver circuitry to drive the electric motor according to a predetermined voltage signal to cause the electric motor to stall and generate heat, receive information about the temperature of the electric motor detected by the temperature sensor while the electric motor is stalled, and maintain a temperature of the electric motor below a threshold temperature value while the electric motor is stalled based on the information about the temperature of the electric motor detected by the temperature sensor while the electric motor is stalled.
