Detailed Description
A motor driving method according to the present invention will be described below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention to those skilled in the art. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. Rather, the invention can be considered to be implemented with any combination of the following features and elements, whether or not they relate to different embodiments. Thus, the various aspects, features, embodiments and advantages below are for illustration only and should not be considered as elements or limitations of the claims unless explicitly set forth in the claims.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a conventional driving circuit of a brushless dc motor. In the typical example of fig. 1, the driving circuit is a three-phase bridge inverter circuit composed of six power transistors T1-T6, and three-phase output terminals of the inverter circuit are respectively connected to three-phase windings U, V, W of the BLDC motor. Among them, the six power transistors T1 to T6 may be field effect transistors (e.g., MOSFETs and JFETs) or Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). Preferably, a freewheeling diode (not shown in fig. 1) may be connected in parallel to each power tube to prevent the power tubes from being broken down by reverse voltage.
As shown in fig. 1, each two power transistors (i.e., two power transistors in the same phase circuit) of the six power transistors T1 to T6 constituting the inverter circuit constitute one bridge. The power tube T1 forms an upper bridge arm of the first bridge, the power tube T2 forms a lower bridge arm of the first bridge, the power tube T3 forms an upper bridge arm of the second bridge, the power tube T4 forms a lower bridge arm of the second bridge, the power tube T5 forms an upper bridge arm of the third bridge, and the power tube T6 forms a lower bridge arm of the third bridge.
Wherein the upper bridge arm of each bridge is connected to the positive electrode V of the power supply bat The lower leg of each bridge is connected to a power supply negative or ground. Furthermore, a first bridge is connected to a first phase winding U of the BLDC motor, a second bridge is connected to a second phase winding V of the BLDC motor, and a third bridge is connected to a third phase winding W of the BLDC motor.
When the motor needs to be driven and controlled, the controller MCU applies corresponding PWM control signals to the control input ends of the power tubes according to the position signals provided by the Hall sensors S1 so as to selectively turn on or off the power tubes, and accordingly current is controlled to flow through corresponding windings in the motor.
However, in actual operation, there is a possibility that the power tube and the motor winding in the inverter circuit may have a short circuit or an open circuit failure, which may cause the motor to fail to operate normally. In response to such a fault condition, the present invention proposes a backup motor drive strategy that ensures that the motor will continue to operate in a backup mode in the event of a circuit failure.
In particular, the invention proposes to detect in real time, by means of the MCU, whether a short circuit or an open circuit has occurred in the three-phase bridge inverter circuit and/or in the windings of the phases of the motor, when the motor is running, for example by measuring the drain-source voltage (Vds) of the individual power tubes to determine the state of the power tubes. In the event that a short or open circuit is detected, the MCU turns one or more of the six power transistors off and/or on to operate the motor in a standby mode (e.g., a "two-phase" mode or an "H-bridge" mode).
Several examples of motor drive strategies according to the present invention when different circuit faults occur are described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 7.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a motor driving method according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment shown in fig. 2, assuming that a short circuit occurs in one power tube in the upper arm of the inverter circuit, the lower arm corresponding to the upper arm is disconnected and the remaining two upper arms are left, so that the motor continues to operate in the "two-phase" mode.
For example, if the upper leg T1 of the first bridge is shorted, the lower leg T2 of the first bridge, the upper leg T3 of the second bridge, and the upper leg T5 of the third bridge are disconnected. At this time, T4 and T6 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the U, V phase winding in sequence, or through the U, W phase winding in sequence.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a motor driving method according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment shown in fig. 3, assuming that a short circuit occurs in one power tube in the lower leg of the inverter circuit, the upper leg corresponding to the lower leg is disconnected and the remaining two lower legs are left, so that the motor continues to operate in the "two-phase" mode.
For example, if the lower leg T2 of the first bridge is shorted, the upper leg T1 of the first bridge, the lower leg T4 of the second bridge, and the lower leg T6 of the third bridge are disconnected. At this time, T3 and T5 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the V, U phase winding in sequence, or through the W, U phase winding in sequence.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a motor driving method according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment shown in fig. 4, assuming that one power tube in the upper arm of the inverter circuit is open, the lower arm corresponding to the upper arm is disconnected; or if one power tube in the lower bridge arm of the inverter circuit is open, the upper bridge arm corresponding to the lower bridge arm is disconnected, so that the motor continues to operate in an H-bridge mode.
For example, if an open circuit occurs in the upper leg T3 of the second bridge, the lower leg T4 of the third bridge is disconnected. At this time, T1, T6 or T5, T2 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the U, W phase winding in sequence, or through the W, U phase winding in sequence.
Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a motor driving method according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment shown in fig. 5, assuming that the upper arm of both of the two bridges of the inverter circuit is open, the upper arm of the other bridge is turned on, and the lower arm of the other bridge is turned off, so that the motor continues to operate in the "two-phase" mode.
For example, if an open circuit occurs in the upper leg T3 of the second bridge and the upper leg T5 of the third bridge, the upper leg T1 of the first bridge is turned on and the lower leg T2 of the first bridge is turned off. At this time, T4 or T6 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the U, V phase winding in sequence, or through the U, W phase winding in sequence.
Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a motor driving method according to a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the fifth embodiment shown in fig. 6, assuming that the lower arm of both the bridges of the inverter circuit is open, the lower arm of the other bridge is turned on, and the upper arm of the other bridge is turned off, so that the motor continues to operate in the "two-phase" mode.
For example, if the lower leg T4 of the second bridge and the lower leg T6 of the third bridge are open, the upper leg T1 of the first bridge is disconnected and the lower leg T2 of the first bridge is connected. At this time, T3 or T5 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the V, U phase winding in sequence, or through the W, U phase winding in sequence.
Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a motor drive control method according to a sixth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the sixth embodiment shown in fig. 7, assuming a short circuit between two phase windings in the motor, the upper and lower legs of one bridge are simultaneously disconnected, so that the motor continues to operate in the "H-bridge" mode.
For example, if a short circuit occurs between the first phase winding u and the second phase winding v of the motor, the upper leg T1 of the first bridge and the lower leg T2 of the first bridge are disconnected. At this time, T3, T6 or T5, T4 may be selectively turned on by the MCU, thereby controlling current to flow through the U, W phase winding in sequence or through the W, U phase winding in sequence.
As described in the above-listed embodiments, the motor drive control method according to the present invention can automatically switch to the corresponding standby drive control logic when the motor winding or the motor inverter circuit fails, thereby ensuring that the motor can continue to operate in the standby mode (e.g., the "two-phase" mode or the "H-bridge" mode). With this method, when a failure occurs in the inverter circuit, the motor can be maintained at a basic operation capability even before the motor is removed from the failure and maintenance is performed, and complete failure of the corresponding vehicle function due to the motor failure is avoided.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, referring to fig. 2, 3, 5 and 6, in the "two-phase" mode, only two of the three-phase circuits connected to each winding of the motor may be conductive, while the other phase circuit fails/breaks. Referring to fig. 4 and 7, in the "H-bridge" mode, only two of the three-phase windings of the motor may be energized, and the other phase winding may not be energized.
It will be further understood by those skilled in the art that terms such as "first," "second," "third," and the like herein do not denote the order of components or values in time, space, size, etc., but rather are merely used to distinguish one component or value from another. In addition, in the embodiments of the method of the present invention, the serial numbers of the steps are not used to define the sequence of the steps, and it is within the scope of the present invention for those skilled in the art to change the sequence of the steps without any creative effort.
While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art shall not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention and shall accordingly fall within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
