In addition, with side by side from DC power supply carrier wave Ca production burst signal A0 ' and B0 ', generate use DC power supply 11a the interval as DC_mode signal (as shown in Figure 5).When the DC_mode signal is high (H), from DC power supply 11a output power.When the DC_mode signal is low (L), from the pulse of AC power supplies 11b output voltage.

With reference to figure 9,, calculate below with reference to signal m_dc_mode in order to generate the DC_mode signal ^*:

M_dc_mode ^*=1-2ma_offset0; Wherein ma_offset0 has and is not less than 0 and be not more than 1 value, and obtains ma_offset0 based on the power line voltage Vdc_a of Target Assignment value rto_pa, the DC power supply 11a of the electric power of DC power supply 11a and the power line voltage Vac_b of AC power supplies 11b.This calculating will use the time ratio in the interval of DC power supply 11a to be arranged to the whole PWM cycle.

By reference signal (or selecting signal) m_dc_mode that is relatively calculated ^*With DC power supply carrier wave Ca, following generation DC_mode signal:

1) if m_dc_mode ^*＞DC power supply carrier wave Ca, then DC_mode=off; And

2) if m_dc_mode ^*≤ DC power supply carrier wave Ca, then DC_mode=on.

1) if mu_b_c ^*＞AC power supplies carrier wave Cb, then M '=on and N '=off; And

2) if mu_b_c ^*≤ AC power supplies carrier wave Cb, then M '=off and N '=on.

Figure 10 is the mode chart that impulse singla M and N are shown.As shown in figure 10, based on the signal M ' and the N ' that are generated, the rising part that is created on signal is provided with the impulse singla M and the N of delay (Td).

In addition, following definite other signal O, P, Q and R:

O＝on；

P＝on；

Based on signal A0, the B0, DC_mode, M and the N that are obtained by carrier wave rating unit 45 and the AC mark signal AC_sign that obtained by AC Symbol recognition part 47, pulse generating portion 46 generates the final drive signal of switch by carrying out following calculating:

A＝A0·DC_mode+(AC_sign+M· AC_sign)· DC_mode

B＝B0·DC_mode

C＝DC_mode+(M·AC_sign+ AC_sign)· DC_mode

D?＝(N·AC_sign+ AC_sign)· DC_mode

E＝(AC_sign+N· AC_sign)· DC_mode

Above-mentioned expression formula is given expression formula D with signal NAC_sign (+), gives expression formula C with signal MAC_sign (+), gives expression formula E with signal NAC_sign (-), gives expression formula A with signal MAC_sign (-).Preparation by the represented operation of these expression formulas so that consider symbol after the upset of the Vac_b that in modulation rate calculating section 38, calculates.

As follows to above-mentioned expression formula brief description.For example, in the expression formula of A, the operation of left side expression switch A when DC_mode is H.Switch A operates based on the signal A0 that is generated by carrier wave rating unit 45.Alternatively, when DC_mode was L, switch A when AC_sign is H was in the ON state based on right item.When AC_sign was L, switch A operated based on the signal M that is generated by carrier wave rating unit 45.That is to say, based on H or the L state of impulse singla DC_mode, and when DC_mode is L H or the L state of signal AC_sign, determine the final operation of switch A.

Signal C0, D0, E0, F0, O, P, Q and R are the signals that ON and OFF state are determined based on H and the L state of impulse singla DC_mode.Therefore, need not above-mentioned expression formula represent these signals.In Fig. 5, as mentioned above, these signals are not shown, therefore do not need these signals are outputed to pulse generating portion 46 from carrier wave rating unit 45.

The interval that concentrates on the DC_mode signal below and be L illustrates (switch) drive signal that generates as mentioned above.

Figure 11 is the mode chart that the example of the switching drive signal that obtains during for H as signal AC_sign is shown.Figure 12 is the mode chart that the example of the switching drive signal when signal AC_sign is L is shown.

Particularly, Figure 11 illustrate when AC mark signal AC_sign be H, the voltage that is to say AC power supplies 11b is the example of the drive signal that obtains of timing.At the DC_mode signal is in the interval of L, the drive signal E of the switch on the path of the bus 24 from the U phase output terminals to AC power supplies 11b is set as H, be the ON state, the drive signal A of the switch from the path of common bus 16 to U phase output terminals is set as the ON state.This combination will comprise that the return flow path of the inverter of AC power supplies 11b is made as the ON state.Therefore, prevented the return flow path disappearance.

In addition, Figure 12 illustrate when AC mark signal AC_sign be L, the example of the drive signal that the voltage that is to say AC power supplies 11b is obtained when negative.At the DC_mode signal is in the interval of L, the drive signal C of the switch on from the lead-out terminal of U phase to the path of common bus 16 is set as H, be the ON state, the drive signal D of the switch from the path of bus 24 to the U phase output terminals of AC power supplies 11b side is set as the ON state.In this way, switch is made as ON, even also can not disappear at return flow path from the interval of AC power supplies 11b output voltage pulse (return current path) thus.

In other words, signal AC_sign is used for allowing inverter as rectifier work, and carries out the reservation by the return flow path of symbol upset simultaneously.

Be under the situation of ON state when the DC_mode signal allows the drive signal E of switch during for L, even switch the DC_mode signal, no matter DC pattern, AC pattern and modulation rate instruction how, can keep return flow path any time.

In addition, in the interval of interval of using the DC power supply and use AC power supplies, can generate the impulse singla of each switch continuously.

Then, the following describes charging operations by the embodiment of electrification conversion equipment.Figure 13 is the scheme drawing that is provided with the electronlmobil 52 of power converter apparatus of the present invention.As shown in figure 13, electronlmobil 52 comprises for example above-mentioned power converter 12, DC power supply 11a and electrical motor 15.DC power supply 11a in the electronlmobil 52 is the storage battery that can discharge and recharge.The AC power supplies importation 12a of power converter 12 is plug-like.By AC power supplies importation 12a being connected to the AC power supplies terminal 53 (battery socket) of AC power supplies 11b, form the circuit as the power supply of power converter 12 with AC power supplies 11b.

In electronlmobil 52, replace the torque control unit 13 of power converter control system 10, use charge controller 55 as shown in Figure 1.Identical in other assembly and operation and the power converter control system 10.

55 pairs of electrical motors of charge controller 15 generate current instruction value id ^*And iq ^*, and the Target Assignment value rto_pa of the electric power that provides from DC power supply 11a is provided.About being input to the current instruction value of power converter 12, the command value that does not produce motor torque is composed to id ^*, and will be used for the current i q of motor torque ^*Be made as 0 (iq ^*=0).Even like this electronlmobil 52 be in halted state also can be to electrical motor 15 power supply.

When the electric power with AC power supplies 11b just is made as, the electric power of DC power supply 11a is made as when negative, promptly when from AC power supplies 11b to electrical motor 15 power supplies, when being charged by 15 pairs of DC power supplys of electrical motor 11a, rto_pa is made as negative value with the Target Assignment value.Equally, the Target Assignment value rto_pb of the electric power that will provide from AC power supplies 11b is made as the value (rto_pb＞1) greater than 1.This allows AC power supplies 11b work with to electrical motor 15 power supplies, thereby the electric power that is stored in the inductor of electrical motor 15 can then charge to DC power supply 11a.

Charge controller 55 receives the voltage Vdc_a of DC power supply 11a as input, and this magnitude of voltage and electrically-charged target voltage values are compared.When actual voltage value surpasses expected value, by arriving the current instruction value id of electrical motor 15 ^*Be made as 0 (id ^*=0) stops charging control.

The advantage of this embodiment is as follows.

Because power converter 12 comprises that by use a plurality of power supplys of DC power supply and AC power supplies generate output voltages and make up with production burst and paired pulses, therefore can not use devices such as voltage transformer or changer to carry out by operation output pulse to combination and distribution from the electric power of power supply.This can reduce the size and the weight of power converter 12.

In addition, the pwm pulse maker generates dc voltage command value and AC voltage instruction value according to the distribution ratio command value of the Target Assignment of the electric power of the motor current command value that depends on the motor torque command value, the electric power of representing AC power supplies and DC power supply and the output voltage values of AC power supplies and DC power supply.Therefore, generate the ON/OFF signal of each switch by output voltage values based on the output voltage values of the output voltage command value of power converter 12, AC power supplies 11b and DC power supply 11a, even power line voltage changes, also can realize output voltage according to output voltage command value and power source voltage value.

In addition, the pwm pulse maker generates the modulation rate comparative figure according to modulation rate command value and the modulation rate compensation value that is added on the modulation rate command value, and by relatively modulation rate comparative figure and carrier signal generate PWM ON/OFF signal.Therefore, even under DC power supply and AC power supplies situation, also can revise the PWMON/OFF signal and realize specified output voltage by using the modulation rate compensation value to proofread and correct the modulation rate signal and not changing carrier signal with the output of arbitrary ratio selectivity.

When the output interval of selecting DC power supply and AC power supplies is exported, only in this interval, compare carrier wave and modulation rate.Therefore, carrier wave was arranged in the cycle, and compares with phase place more easily to change with the amplitude that changes carrier wave and passed through modulation rate relatively.Especially,, and in the middle of generating, the counter O reset and the upper limit that changes counting are compared, can more easily change and pass through registration data relatively when when using microcomputer etc. in counting machine, to generate carrier wave.

In addition, the pwm pulse maker generates the modulation rate command value according to the value that the symbol with corresponding voltage instruction value of AC power supplies and the magnitude of voltage by the upset AC power supplies obtains.The pwm pulse maker generates AC power supplies and the pulse of DC power source voltage, makes these two voltage impulses be separately positioned on to differ the center of the carrier wave of 180 degree phase places.And, give expression formula D with signal NAC_sign (+), give expression formula C with signal MAC_sign (+), give expression formula E with signal NAC_sign (-), give expression formula A with signal MAC_sign (-).Therefore, when AC_sign is L, by in carrier cycle, being formed centrally voltage impulse, output voltage pulse symmetrically on time-based direction.Voltage impulse from DC power supply and AC power supplies has time interval, wherein can be at output voltage and switch DC power supply and AC power supplies under the state of active potential.This help can the cheap switch of realizing PWM generate.And when AC_sign is L,, can generate the impulse singla of each switch continuously in the interval of interval of using the DC power supply and use AC power supplies.Be reversed with the relation of the corresponding switch of AC power supplies, and, on time-based direction, export the AC voltage impulse symmetrically by forming voltage impulse at carrier cycle.This can reduce the number of times that switches in the power supply switching timing, thereby reduces the loss of power converter apparatus.

In addition, the pwm pulse maker generates the pwm pulse of some switch by comparison modulation rate comparative figure and carrier signal, and generates the ON and the OFF signal of other switch by comparison AC_sign and DC_mode.Therefore, can simplify the generation of pwm pulse by the signal of output ON or OFF state under the situation that all switches is not generated pwm pulse.This can further reduce equipment cost.In the interpolar switch, be arranged on the switch that always is set as ON or OFF during output cycle of output cycle of DC power supply or AC power supplies, can reduce the number of times that switches thus, thereby suppress handoff loss.

In addition, by distribute according to the sign symbol of AC voltage on the return flow path with common inverter the corresponding switch of diode and with inverter in the switch of the corresponding power converter of switch, can the pwm pulse generation unit be set to each switch and only generate with inverter in the corresponding pwm pulse of switch.Therefore, can guarantee the return flow path of outgoing current, and pass through optionally distributed intelligence, can easily generate the pwm pulse of switch.

If return flow path is interrupted, then the quick variation of Inductive component and electric current applies high potential to switching device.Therefore, switching device applies this voltage and has voltage endurance capability.By guaranteeing return flow path, can be at the voltage endurance capability of the rapid-varying situation decline low switch device that does not cause above-mentioned electric current.

In addition, comprise electrical motor according to the automobile of the embodiment of the invention and according to power converter apparatus described herein.Automobile travels by electrification conversion equipment driving motor.Therefore, can be included in the discharging and recharging of power supply in the automobile, from the charging of AC power supplies and to the discharge of AC power supplies.Not needing provides new charger, AC reactor and switch block etc. to install (assembly) to automobile.Comprise that by allowing to utilize the power converter apparatus of switch carries out electric power operation, entire equipment is compared with the equipment of mechanical switch parts with the use reactor has size and the weight that reduces.Can obtain big automotive interior space.

In addition, when from one of AC power supplies and DC power supply output power, be provided as with the AC power supplies that is used to power or the corresponding distribution ratio command value of DC power supply on the occasion of.When the DC power supply is charged, be provided with negative liken to into the corresponding distribution ratio command value of DC power supply.Therefore, when from the power supply output power, be provided with direct ratio as and the corresponding distribution ratio command value of this power supply, when power supply is charged, be provided with negative liken to into the corresponding distribution ratio command value of this power supply.Therefore, can carry out the power operation, and can not use charger to come power supply is charged by the output pulse of electrical power for operation conversion equipment.

In addition, first embodiment provides electric current to the electrical motor that is connected to lead-out terminal, wherein can not produce torque based on this electric current, and first embodiment generates the distribution ratio of the distribution ratio of the output voltage command value of representing AC power supplies and DC power supply.When from one of AC power supplies and DC power supply output power, be provided with direct ratio as and AC power supplies that is used to power or the corresponding distribution ratio command value of DC power supply, when the DC power supply is charged, be provided with negative liken to into the corresponding distribution ratio command value of DC power supply.Therefore,, wherein torque can be do not produced,, discharging and recharging of a plurality of power supplys can be under the situation that does not produce unnecessary torque, operated yet even be at electrical motor under the state of time-out based on this electric current by providing electric current to electrical motor.When having produced torque, to stop to need mechanical brake device under the situation of electrical motor.Yet,, therefore do not need to provide or operate brake owing to can under the situation that does not produce torque, discharge and recharge.

When realizing power converter apparatus, can realize illustrated control operation by software by computer devices such as use microcomputers.

The example of the output that obtains during for L as AC_sign is represented: adjacent by impulse singla A0 and M are made as, occur at interval by the continuous OFF of drive signal A switch driven.In other words, owing to can reduce the number of times that carries out based on the switching of drive signal A, therefore can suppress to switch the handoff loss that causes.

In addition, by generation be made as adjacent from AC power supplies 11b output voltage impulse and from the voltage impulse of DC power supply 11a output, can reduce the change of voltage between the switch terminal, and can reduce handoff loss.

In the third embodiment of the present invention, when being L (seeing Figure 18 B) as AC_sign as described in a second embodiment at the positive rise of drive signal E, with drive signal E with C is made as ON so that mutual superposition.Difference with second embodiment below only is described.

Figure 19 is the mode chart that the E_plus signal among the 3rd embodiment is shown.As shown in figure 19, generate the E_plus signal by the calculating that compares m_plus value and AC power supplies carrier wave Cb.The m_plus value is following value: the ON time width of E_plus signal can be made as Dead Time (Td) based on this value.

In addition, only replace the generation of the drive signal E among second embodiment as follows:

E＝(AC_sign+N· AC_sign)· DC_mode+E_plus

Under the situation when the positive rise when the ON pattern by drive signal C switch driven lags behind drive signal C etc.,, also can guarantee return flow path by guaranteeing and being made as the time of ON simultaneously by drive signal E switch driven.In other words, if return flow path is interrupted, then the quick change of Inductive component and electric current applies high potential to switching device.Therefore, switching device has the voltage endurance capability that this voltage is applied.

In the 3rd embodiment, by return flow path is made as ON simultaneously, the quick change of above-mentioned electric current can not take place.Therefore, can reduce the voltage endurance capability of switching device.

In addition, guarantee the switch on switch on the on high-tension side path from lead-out terminal to the AC power supplies bus and the on high-tension side path from lead-out terminal to the DC power source bus is made as simultaneously the time of ON.After the time that described switch is made as simultaneously ON, switch the ON and the OFF state of described switch, even thereby switching hysteresis is made as simultaneously that ON also can reduce the withstand voltage of switching device and the quick change that can not cause electric current owing to the interruption of return flow path in drive signal with the switch on the return flow path.
