Detailed Description
Embodiment 1.
A rotating electric machine control device according to embodiment 1 of the present application will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.
Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a rotating electric machine control device according to embodiment 1, and fig. 2 is a block diagram of a voltage command setting unit constituting the control device.
In fig. 1, a drive circuit including a converter 3 and an inverter 4 is connected between a dc power supply 1 and a motor 2 as a rotating electric machine. A control circuit 5 for controlling the converter 3 and the inverter 4 based on an operation command from the outside is also provided.
The converter 3 boosts a dc voltage from the dc power supply 1, and the inverter 4 converts the dc voltage boosted by the converter 3 into an ac voltage. The control circuit 5 controls the converter 3 and the inverter 4 based on operation commands such as a requested torque and a requested rotational speed, such as a torque, output from a host control unit (ECU) not shown, to drive and control the motor 2.
The converter 3 includes switching elements S1 and S2 connected in series and diodes D1 and D2 connected in parallel to the switching elements S1 and S2, and is connected in series between the dc power supply 1 and the dc power supply line 6 on the input side of the inverter 4. The converter 3 is a device that variably controls a voltage obtained by applying a voltage output from the dc power supply 1 to the dc power supply wiring 6 based on a voltage command value such as a Pulse Width Control (PWC) signal output from a voltage command setting unit 51 of the control circuit 5.
In the inverter 4, the U-phase arm is composed of switching elements S3 and S4 connected in series, the V-phase arm is composed of switching elements S5 and S6 connected in series, the W-phase arm is composed of switching elements S7 and S8 connected in series, and the inverter 4 is connected in series between the dc power supply line 6 and the motor 2. The switching elements S3 to S8 are connected in parallel to diodes D3 to D8. The inverter 4 converts a direct-current voltage into an alternating-current voltage based on a Pulse Width Control (PWC) signal or the like output from the control circuit 5.
The connection points of the switching elements S3 to S8 connected in series in the inverter 4 are connected to the armature winding of the motor 2.
The switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 are each provided with a temperature-voltage converter 7 such as a thermistor that can convert temperature into voltage (fig. 1 shows only the portion of the switching element S6, but is actually provided in all the switching elements).
The control circuit 5 includes only the voltage command setting means 51 and the temperature detection means 52 shown in fig. 1, but also includes a circuit that generates a Pulse Width Control (PWC) signal for controlling on/off of the switching elements S1 and S2 of the converter 3 and the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 based on an operation command such as a requested torque and a requested rotational speed output from a higher-level ECU.
The voltage detected by the temperature-voltage converter 7 is input to the temperature detection means 52 of the control circuit 5, and the temperature detection means 52 performs calculation from the voltage to the temperature to detect the temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8.
The voltage command setting means 51 outputs a voltage command value based on the switching element temperature output from the temperature detection means 52, and an operation command such as torque and rotational speed output from a host ECU or the like, and controls the switching elements S1 and S2 of the converter 3 to set the voltage to be applied to the dc power supply line 6.
The motor 2 can generate torque by supplying power obtained by converting dc power into ac power by the inverter 4 to the armature winding, and can be used in electric vehicles such as hybrid vehicles and electric cars.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of voltage command setting section 51 used in control circuit 5 according to embodiment 1 of the present application.
The voltage command setting means 51 is configured by a voltage calculation unit 51a, a voltage limit amount calculation unit 51b, and a limit processing unit 51c, and is configured to be able to set the voltage command value of the converter 3 to be low (e.g., the on ratio of the switching elements S1, S2 is small) when the switching element temperature of the inverter 4 is higher than a predetermined temperature.
The voltage calculation unit 51a calculates and outputs the pre-limit voltage command value based on the operation command output from the upper ECU or the like. The voltage limit amount calculation unit 51b calculates and outputs a limit amount of a voltage that can limit the pre-limit voltage command value according to the switching element temperature of the inverter 4. The limitation processing unit 51c can reduce the output voltage command value by subtracting the limitation amount from the pre-limitation command value.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the voltage limit amount calculation unit 51b of the voltage command setting means 51 provided in the control circuit 5, and fig. 4 is a diagram showing a voltage of the dc power supply wiring 6 with respect to a switching element temperature of the inverter 4.
As shown in fig. 3, when the switching element temperature becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the voltage limit amount calculation unit 51b increases the limit amount. By increasing the limit amount, the voltage command value for the converter 3 can be set low, and as a result, the voltage of the dc power supply wiring 6, which is the output of the converter 3, can be reduced as shown in fig. 4.
This can reduce switching losses generated in the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 in proportion to the voltage of the dc power supply line 6. By reducing the switching loss, the temperature rise of the switching elements S3 to S8 can be suppressed, and element damage due to heat generation can be suppressed.
In the control device according to embodiment 1 of the present application, the temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 is detected as the temperature detection of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4, but the temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 may be estimated by detecting the temperature of the diodes D3 to D8 connected in parallel to the switching elements S3 to S8. The temperature-voltage converter 7 such as a thermistor may be provided for both the switching elements S3 to S8 and the diodes D3 to D8, and the temperatures of the switching elements S3 to S8 and the diodes D3 to D8 may be detected.
When the temperatures of the diodes D3 to D8 are high, the switching loss generated in the diodes D3 to D8 is also reduced by lowering the voltage of the dc power supply line 6, so that the temperature rise of the diodes D3 to D8 can be suppressed, and the element breakage of the diodes D3 to D8 can be similarly suppressed.
According to this configuration, not only can the temperature rise of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 be suppressed, but also the temperature rise of the diodes D3 to D8 can be suppressed, and element damage due to heat generation can be suppressed.
Embodiment 2.
Next, a rotating electric machine control device according to embodiment 2 of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 5 and 6.
The rotating electrical machine control device according to embodiment 2 is a device in which a field weakening current control unit 53 as shown in fig. 5 is further provided to the control circuit 5 according to embodiment 1, and fig. 5 is a block diagram of the field weakening current control unit 53.
The rotating electrical machine control device according to embodiment 2 is a device that can suppress a voltage increase in the dc power supply line 6 by setting the field weakening current of the motor 2 to be larger than a value determined based on an operation command when the temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 is higher than a predetermined temperature, and the field weakening current control unit 53 includes a field weakening current calculation unit 53a and a control unit 53 b.
The field weakening current calculation unit 53a receives an operation command from the upper ECU, the element temperatures of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4, and the voltage of the dc power supply line 6, and calculates the field weakening current of the motor 2. The controller 53b generates voltage command values for the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 based on the output from the field weakening current calculation unit 53 a.
Fig. 6(a) is a diagram showing a relationship between an operation command and the element temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 and the voltage of the dc power supply line 6, and fig. 6(b) is a diagram showing a relationship in which the field weakening current is increased when the element temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 is high.
As shown in fig. 6(a), when the operation command is plotted on the horizontal axis and the voltage of the dc power supply line 6 is plotted on the vertical axis, it is necessary to set the solid line a when the temperature of the switching element is low and set the solid line B when the temperature of the switching element is high.
At this time, as shown in fig. 6(B), even when the rotation speed of the operation command is low, the absolute value of the field weakening current is set to be large as shown by the solid line B so as to reduce the voltage of the dc power supply wiring 6 when the temperature of the switching element is high. On the other hand, when the switching element temperature is low, the field-weakening current is increased when the requested rotation speed of the operation command is high as shown by the solid line a.
When the field weakening current is increased, the voltage applied to the motor 2 by the inverter 4 can be reduced, and therefore the element temperatures of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 can be reduced.
By performing the above processing, it is possible to suppress a voltage rise of the dc power supply wiring 6, and the voltage of the dc power supply wiring 6 becomes equal to or higher than the voltage of the dc power supply 1, thereby suppressing an uncontrollable switching state of the inverter 4.
Thus, when the temperature of the switching elements S3 to S8 of the inverter 4 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the voltage of the dc power supply line 6 can be suppressed by increasing the field weakening current of the motor 2 when the voltage of the dc power supply line 6 is set to be low, and the switch controllable state of the inverter 4 can be maintained.
Various exemplary embodiments and examples are described in the present disclosure, but the various features, forms, and functions described in 1 or more embodiments are not limited to the application to the specific embodiments, and may be applied to the embodiments alone or in various combinations.
Therefore, countless modifications not illustrated are also assumed to be included in the technical scope disclosed in the present application. For example, the case where at least 1 component is modified, added, or omitted, and the case where at least 1 component is extracted and combined with the components of the other embodiments are also included.
