(estimating the calorie value of motor 30)
The method of the calorie value of estimating motor 30 then, is described.At first, before the concrete grammar of describing the calorie value of estimating motor 30, the principle of this method is described.
(estimating the principle of the heat that motor 30 produces)
Because conscientiously research, the inventor finds the relation between the rate of change of the calorie value of motor 30 and gear 20a gear ratio.Particularly, because the discovery enumerated below, the inventor draws the relation between the rate of change of gear ratio of heat and gear 20a.
1) calorie value of motor 30 be applied to that to cause motor 30 to produce that part of square of heats in the effective voltage of motor 30 linear.
2) voltage that causes motor 30 to produce heat is determined by deduct the induced voltage that is used for mobile movable wheel half 21b of from the effective voltage that is applied to motor 30.
3) it is linear to be used for the rate of change of gear ratio of the induced voltage of mobile movable wheel half 21b of and gear 20a.
From inventor's above-mentioned discovery, formula (1) is estimated the calorie value of motor 30 below using:
∫β{V A-α·(dr/dt)} 2·dt (1)
Wherein:
β: constant
V A: the effective voltage that is applied to motor 30
Dr/dt: the rate of change of the gear ratio of gear 20a
α: constant or by following formula (3a) or (3b) expression factor:
α=[d{f(l)}/dl] -1 (3a)
α=[d{g(r)}/dr] (3b)
Wherein:
F (l): the function of the distance 1 of expression gear ratio
R: gear ratio
G (r): the function of gear ratio r, or the inverse function of above-mentioned function f (l).
In the present embodiment, above-mentioned formula (3a) and (3b) be equal to each other.
In the present embodiment, because as mentioned above by pulse duration modulation control motor 30, the V in the above-mentioned formula (1) ARepresent with following formula (2):
V A=V p·(DUTY) (2)
Wherein
V p: the size that is applied to the pulsed voltage of motor 30
DUTY: the dutycycle that is applied to the pulsed voltage of motor 30.
Therefore, formula (1) can be below formula (2) convert to formula (4):
∫β{V A-α·(dr/dt)} 2·dt (4)
Wherein:
β: constant
V p: the size that is applied to the pulsed voltage of motor 30
DUTY: the dutycycle that is applied to the pulsed voltage of motor 30
α: constant or by following formula (3a) or (3b) expression factor:
α=[d{f(l)}/dl] -1 (3a)
α=[d{g(r)}/dr] (3b)
Wherein:
F (l): distance 1 function of expression gear ratio
R: gear ratio
G (r): the function of gear ratio r, or the inverse function of above-mentioned function f (l).
According to this enforcement, the above-mentioned formula of use as described below (4) is estimated the calorie value of motor 30.Trailing wheel position transducer 40 detected distances 1 are calculated the rate of change of the gear ratio of gear 20a.
In above-mentioned formula (4), determine function r=f (l) according to the shape of trough of belt 21c and trough of belt 22c.For example, as shown in Figure 6, function r=f (l) can be following protruding exponential function.In other words, can set function r=f (l), make that the variation of gear ratio r becomes slow with respect to the variation of distance 1 along with distance 1 increases and the increase of trough of belt 21c width.In other words, can set function r=f (l), make that along with gear ratio changes towards high side, the variation of gear ratio r becomes slow with respect to the variation of distance 1.In the case, along with distance 1 increases, the value α in the formula (4) tends to littler.
Perhaps, as example, function r=f (l) can be the exponential function of epirelief, as shown in Figure 7.In other words, can set function r=f (l), make along with distance 1 increases and the increase of trough of belt 21c width, the variation of gear ratio r is with respect to becoming rapid apart from 1 variation.In other words, can set function r=f (l), make along with gear ratio changes towards high side, the variation of gear ratio r is with respect to becoming rapid apart from 1 variation.In the case, along with distance 1 increases, the value α in the formula (4) tends to bigger.
In addition, as example, what function r=f (l) can be for linearity, as shown in Figure 8.In other words, the value regardless of distance 1 and trough of belt 21c can be set at constant with function r=f (l).In other words, regardless of gear ratio, function r=f (l) can be set at constant.In the case, regardless of distance 1, the value α in the formula (4) remains unchanged.That is, α is a constant.
(estimating the method and the method for controlling motor 30 of the calorie value of motor 30)
Fig. 9 is the flow chart of the method for the method of the expression calorie value of estimating motor 30 and control motor 30.As shown in Figure 9, at first in step S1, estimate the calorie value of motor 30.Particularly, in step S1, use above-mentioned formula (4) to estimate the calorie value of motor 30.
Then, in step S2, whether the estimating heat quantity value of the motor 30 among the determining step S1 is greater than specified value.Because the temperature correlation of the calorie value of motor 30 and motor 30, generally speaking, the calorie value of motor 30 is big more, and then the temperature of motor 30 correspondingly becomes high more.Therefore, whether perhaps according to the judgement among the step S2 " estimating heat quantity value of motor 30 greater than regulation calorie value ", whether the temperature that can judge motor 30 is on specified value.In other words, in step S2, mainly judge whether the temperature of motor 30 is positioned on the specified value.
In addition, according to the characteristic of motor 30 and drive circuit 8, can suitably stipulate " regulation calorie value " among the step S2.For example, " regulation calorie value " can be defined as such value,, estimate in motor 30 and drive circuit 8, mis-behave to take place at this value place.In other words, " regulation calorie value " may be prescribed as such value, and on this value, the temperature of estimating motor 30 is above allowing the serviceability temperature limit.
When the calorie value of in the step S2 shown in Fig. 9, judging motor 30 during, handle proceeding to step S3 greater than specified value.In step S3, limit or stop the operation of motor 30.
After this, handle to proceed to step S4, to judge in restriction or after stopping the operation of motor 30 whether passed through stipulated time length.Whether the temperature of in other words, judging in restriction in step S4 or whether having passed through stipulated time length and motor 30 after stopping the operation of motor 30 fully reduction.Here, " stipulated time length " for example may be prescribed as for the required time span of the temperature that reduces motor 30 fully.Therefore, fully reduce the required time span of motor 30 temperature according to the control content of in step S3, carrying out and difference.For example, when the operation of motor 30 stopped, the temperature of motor 30 reduced than very fast, so that " stipulated time length " may be prescribed as is shorter.
When in step S4, judging in restriction or also do not pass through scheduled time length after stopping the operation of motor 30, handle turning back among the step S4.On the other hand,, handle and proceed to step S5 when in step S4, judging in restriction or having passed through the stipulated time after stopping motor 30 operations during length, and the operation recovery of motor 30 limit in the step S3 or stop before state.
With top opposite,, do not carrying out step S3 termination under the situation of S5 when the calorie value of in step S2, judging motor 30 during less than specified value.
In addition, restriction or stop that the control of the operation of motor 30 is not limited to stipulate in step S3 makes the calorie value of motor 30 become less than the calorie value of the normal running of motor 30 as long as carry out such control.For example, can stop the operation of motor 30.In other words, can limit change to gear ratio.In addition, for example, can reduce the revolution upper limit of motor 30 and at least one in the torque upper limit.In other words, can reduce the upper limit of rate of change of the gear ratio of gear 20a.That is, the rate of change of the gear ratio of gear 20a surpasses in the control of its upper limit therein, the rate of change of gear ratio can be restricted to upper limit speed downwards.In addition, for example, can be so that the permissible revolution scope of motor 30 diminishes.In other words, can be so that the permissible range of the gear ratio of gear 20a diminishes.In addition, for example, can only make the action (such as kickdown) of flip-flop gear ratio invalid.Particularly, can adopt the method (see figure 5) of the ECU7 pulse width modulating signal that output duty cycle is not bigger.
(function and effect)
Utilize the foregoing description, estimate the calorie value of motor 30 from the rate of change of the gear ratio of gear 20a.Therefore, use by will be arranged on usually the sensor that is used to measure gear ratio among the gear 20a to gear ratio carry out the rate of change that differential obtains gear ratio with respect to the time, estimate the calorie value of motor 30.Particularly, in the present embodiment, use rate of change, estimate the calorie value of motor 30 according to the gear ratio of calculating with wheel location sensor 40 detected distances 1.Therefore, under situation about not using, can estimate the calorie value of motor 30 with cheap simple structure such as the additional sensors of temperature transducer and current sensor.
The temperature that surpasses the regulation calorie value and estimate motor 30 when the calorie value of motor 30 risen above motor 30 allow the serviceability temperature scope time, limit or stop the operation of motor 30.This prevents that motor 30 is heated above allowing the serviceability temperature scope.Therefore, the mis-behave and the damage of restrictions motor 30 and drive circuit 8 effectively.
Particularly, though the variation step-down of gear ratio, the upper limit of the rate of change of the gear ratio by reducing gear 20a and the method for operating of restrictions motor 30 is preferred, because gear ratio changes according to the speed of a motor vehicle, thereby the manipulation of motorcycle 1 is subjected to less influence.
Also in the present embodiment, when restriction or after stopping the operation of motor 30 through stipulated time during length, with the operation recovery of motor 30 to restriction or stop state before.Therefore, be reduced to when allowing in the serviceability temperature scope through stipulated time length and the temperature of estimating motor 30 when restriction or after stopping the operation of motor 30, the operation of motor 30 becomes normally.Like this, can when only need, limit or stop the operation of motor 30, operating motor 30 promptly in other cases, and with than higher rapid change gear ratio.Therefore, realize high-quality driven nature.
