Rotation speed calculation device

Abstract

A rotation speed calculation device of a brushless motor includes: a current acquisition unit that acquires magnitude of current flowing through a coil of the brushless motor; a supply voltage acquisition unit that acquires supply voltage supplied to the brushless motor; and a calculation unit that calculates rotation speed of the brushless motor based on the magnitude of the current acquired by the current acquisition unit, the supply voltage acquired by the supply voltage acquisition unit, and a voltage equation calculating the rotation speed based on the magnitude of the current and the supply voltage. The voltage equation is an equation in which a member expressing a voltage drop due to inductance of a winding of the coil of the brushless motor is expressed by a product of a factor proportional to the current and a factor proportional to the rotation speed of the brushless motor.
