For a control assembly for an electric-only vehicle, it is not necessary to equip the generator and the corresponding generator controller. The existing control assembly for the pure electric automobile removes unnecessary devices (including a generator controller corresponding to a generator), which not only causes the waste of space in a box body of a shell of the control assembly, but also causes the power level and the current level of the control assembly to be incapable of being improved.
The control assembly for the electric automobile provided by the invention connects the rectification inverter circuit in the existing generator controller and the rectification inverter circuit in the driving electrode controller in parallel, and does not remove the generator controller, but utilizes the corresponding circuit of the original generator controller (such as the rectification inverter circuit in the generator controller) and the rectification inverter circuit in the original driving motor controller to jointly form a new rectification inverter circuit for connecting with the driving motor.
In addition, because the rectification inverter circuit in the original generator controller is connected in parallel with the rectification inverter circuit in the original driving motor controller, the current which can pass through each phase circuit of the new rectification inverter circuit can be increased, and the output power and the output current which can be provided by the driving motor controller are improved. Theoretically, the current capability of each phase circuit of the driving motor controller provided by the invention can reach the sum of the current capabilities of the two branches before parallel connection.
In addition, for the driving motor controller provided by the invention, the driving motor controller can be realized by changing the connecting copper bar and corresponding control software on the basis of the existing controller assembly, so that the existing raw materials and production lines can be fully utilized, the universality of the product is improved on one hand, and the manufacturability of the product is also improved on the other hand.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be provided with reference to the drawings and examples, so that how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the embodiments and the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, and the technical solutions formed are within the scope of the present invention.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details or with other methods described herein.
For the existing electric automobile, the control assembly of the pure electric automobile and the hybrid electric automobile adopts the same shell box body. For a pure electric vehicle, the control assembly only removes part of functional modules (such as an engine control module and the like) which are not needed by the pure electric vehicle in the control assembly for the hybrid electric vehicle. Meanwhile, for the existing control assembly for the electric vehicle as shown in fig. 1, the driving motor controller 103, the generator controller 104, the first inverter module 101 and the second inverter module 102 may adopt IGBT modules with different power levels and the same package, so that the multiplexing of the control assembly housing box can be realized to a certain extent.
However, the above method can improve the versatility of the control assembly to some extent, but still has limitations for the control assembly of the existing electric vehicle. Because the same package is needed, parameters such as the power level and the current level of the IGBT module are limited, which may result in that the overall power level and the current level of the control assembly cannot be increased, thereby limiting the application range of the control assembly.
In addition, after unnecessary parts such as the generator control module and the first inverter module of the control assembly for the pure electric vehicle are removed, the space in the control assembly cannot be fully utilized, and therefore waste is caused.
In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present embodiment provides a new control assembly for an electric vehicle, which is particularly suitable for a pure electric vehicle, and an electric vehicle using the control assembly. The control assembly provided by the embodiment expands the application range of the control assembly by connecting the corresponding rectification inverter modules in parallel, and improves the universality of the control assembly.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a control assembly for an electric vehicle provided in this embodiment.
As shown in fig. 2, the control assembly for an electric vehicle provided in the present embodiment preferably includes a driving motor controller 203, wherein the driving motor controller 203 includes a plurality of rectifying and inverting circuits connected in parallel to each other. Specifically, the driving motor controller 203 preferably includes a first rectification inverter circuit and a second rectification inverter circuit, a positive terminal of a direct current terminal of the first rectification inverter circuit is connected to a positive terminal of a direct current terminal of the second rectification inverter circuit, a negative terminal of the direct current terminal of the first rectification inverter circuit is connected to a negative terminal of the direct current terminal of the second rectification inverter circuit, and an alternating current terminal of the first rectification inverter circuit is correspondingly connected to an alternating current terminal of the second rectification inverter circuit, so that the first rectification inverter circuit and the second rectification inverter circuit are connected in parallel.
In this embodiment, the first rectifying inverter circuit and the second rectifying inverter circuit are preferably implemented by using a three-phase fully-controlled bridge rectifying inverter circuit. The U-phase output end of the first rectification inverter circuit is connected with the U-phase output end of the second rectification inverter circuit, the V-phase output end of the first rectification inverter circuit is connected with the V-phase output end of the second rectification inverter circuit, and the W-phase output end of the first rectification inverter circuit is connected with the W-phase output end of the second rectification inverter circuit.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first rectifying and inverting circuit and/or the second rectifying and inverting circuit may also be implemented by using other reasonable fully controlled bridge type rectifying and inverting circuits, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, since the first rectifying and inverting circuit and the second rectifying and inverting circuit are both implemented by a three-phase fully-controlled bridge rectifying and inverting circuit, and the structures of the rectifying and inverting branches of the phases are the same, for the purpose of description, the structures and functions of the first rectifying and inverting circuit and the second rectifying and inverting circuit in this embodiment are specifically described below by taking one of the phases as an example.
As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the first rectification inverter circuit includes a first IGBT module VT1_1 and a second IGBT module VT1_ 2. The collector of the first IGBT module VT1_1 forms the positive electrode of the dc input end of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the first rectification inverter circuit, the emitter of the first IGBT module VT1_1 is connected with the collector of the second IGBT module VT1_2 and forms the ac output end of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the first rectification inverter circuit, and the emitter of the second IGBT module VT1_2 forms the negative electrode of the dc input end of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the first rectification inverter circuit.
Similarly, in the present embodiment, the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the second rectification inverter circuit includes a third IGBT module VT2_1 and a fourth IGBT module VT2_ 2. The collector of the third IGBT module VT2_1 forms the positive electrode of the dc input terminal of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the second rectification inverter circuit, the emitter of the third IGBT module VT2_1 is connected with the collector of the fourth IGBT module VT2_2 and forms the ac output terminal of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the second rectification inverter circuit, and the emitter of the fourth IGBT module VT2_2 forms the negative electrode of the dc input terminal of the U-phase rectification inverter branch of the second rectification inverter circuit.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the power devices included in the first rectifying inverter circuit and/or the second rectifying inverter circuit may also be implemented by using other reasonable devices (e.g., MOSFET, thyristor, etc.), and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The direct current input positive pole and the negative pole of the U-phase rectification inversion branch of the first rectification inversion circuit are correspondingly connected with the direct current input positive pole and the negative pole of the U-phase rectification inversion branch of the second rectification inversion circuit respectively, and the alternating current output end of the U-phase rectification inversion branch of the first rectification inversion circuit is connected with the alternating current output end of the U-phase rectification inversion branch of the second rectification inversion circuit to form the U-phase output end of the whole driving motor controller.
The circuit structures of the V-phase rectification inversion branch and the W-phase rectification inversion branch of the driving motor controller are the same as those of the U-phase rectification inversion branch, and therefore specific contents of the V-phase rectification inversion branch and the W-phase rectification inversion branch are not repeated herein.
In this embodiment, the first rectifying and inverting circuit may be implemented by a rectifying and inverting circuit in a driving motor controller in an existing control assembly for an electric vehicle, and the second rectifying and inverting circuit may be implemented by a rectifying and inverting circuit in a generator controller in an existing control assembly for an electric vehicle.
For a control assembly for an electric-only vehicle, it is not necessary to equip the generator and the corresponding generator controller. The existing control assembly for the pure electric automobile removes unnecessary devices (including a generator controller corresponding to a generator), which not only causes the waste of space in a box body of a shell of the control assembly, but also causes the power level and the current level of the control assembly to be incapable of being improved.
In the control assembly for the electric vehicle provided by this embodiment, the rectification inverter circuit in the existing generator controller is connected in parallel with the rectification inverter circuit in the driving electrode controller, and instead of removing the generator controller, the corresponding circuit of the original generator controller (for example, the rectification inverter circuit in the generator controller) and the rectification inverter circuit in the original driving motor controller are used to jointly form a new rectification inverter circuit for connecting with the driving motor.
In addition, because the rectification inverter circuit in the original generator controller is connected in parallel with the rectification inverter circuit in the original driving motor controller, the current which can pass through each phase circuit of the new rectification inverter circuit can be increased, and the output power and the output current which can be provided by the driving motor controller are improved. Theoretically, the current capability that each phase circuit of the driving motor controller provided by this embodiment can pass can reach the sum of the current capabilities of the two branches before being connected in parallel.
In addition, for the driving motor controller that this embodiment provided, it needs to be on the basis of current controller assembly through change connection copper bar and corresponding control software can realize, just so can make full use of current raw and other materials and production line, this has improved the commonality of product on the one hand, has also improved the manufacturability of product on the other hand.
In this embodiment, the control assembly for an electric vehicle further includes a control circuit (not shown in fig. 2). The control circuit is connected with the driving motor controller and can output corresponding control instructions to the driving motor controller so as to control the running state of each rectification inverter circuit.
Since the first rectifying and inverting circuit is connected in parallel with the second rectifying and inverting circuit, in this embodiment, the control circuit outputs the same control signal to the rectifying and inverting branches connected in parallel with each other. For example, the first IGBT module VT1_1 and the third IGBT module VT2_1 receive the same control signals, and the second IGBT module VT1_2 and the fourth IGBT module VT2_2 receive the same control signals.
As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, optionally, the output ends of the first inverter module 101 and the second inverter module 102 may also be correspondingly connected to form a new ac output port. Wherein, the new AC output port can be connected with both the oil pump motor and the air pump motor. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first inverter module 101 is preferably implemented by an oil pump motor inverter circuit, and the second inverter module 102 is preferably implemented by an air pump motor inverter circuit. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first inverter circuit and/or the second inverter circuit may be implemented by other reasonable circuits or devices, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Meanwhile, in other embodiments of the present invention, the output ends of the first inverter module 101 and the second inverter module 102 may not be correspondingly connected, but may be independently connected to different external devices (for example, the first inverter module 101 is connected to the air pump motor M1, and the second inverter module 102 is connected to the oil pump motor M2), so as to form the circuit structure shown in fig. 3.
In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the control assembly for an electric vehicle may also be implemented by using a circuit structure as shown in fig. 4. For the control assembly for the electric vehicle shown in fig. 4, the output ends of the first inverter module 101 and the second inverter module 102 are correspondingly connected, and a new ac output port is formed. The new ac output port may be connected to a corresponding external device (e.g., an oil pump motor or an air pump motor, etc.). The driving motor controller and the generator controller of the control assembly for the electric automobile also adopt the existing circuit structure (as shown in figure 1). For the control assembly for the electric automobile, the control assembly can be realized by changing the connecting copper bar and the corresponding control software on the basis of the existing controller assembly, so that the existing raw materials and production lines can be fully utilized, the universality of the product is improved, and the manufacturability of the product is also improved.
