Abstract

In response to a decrease in observed battery voltage Vb to or below a preset threshold value Vs1, the control procedure of the invention closes the gates of an inverter for an air conditioner to stop a supply of electric power to the air conditioner (at a time point t1). In response to a further decrease in observed battery voltage Vb to or below a preset threshold value Vm1, the control procedure closes the gates of inverters for motors MG1 and MG2 to stop supplies of electric power to the motors MG1 and MG2 (at a time point t2). The threshold values Vs1 and Vm1 are set to keep the battery voltage Vb at or above a minimum required voltage for proper operations of an electric power steering (EPS). This arrangement guarantees the minimum required voltage for proper operations of the EPS and accordingly ensures the stable steering performance even in the event of a voltage decrease of the battery.

Following description is the operation about the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of the embodiment with said structure, is specially the corresponding a series of controls of reduction with the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50.Fig. 2 shows the diagram of circuit of the electric power supply control routine of mixed electronic control unit 70 execution in the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 that is included in present embodiment.This routine (for example, under per 8 milliseconds time gap) under the preset time interval is repeatedly carried out.
In the electric power supply control routine, the CPU72 of mixed electronic control unit 70 at first imports the voltage between terminals Vb (step S100) of storage battery 50.The voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 is measured by voltage sensor 51a and receives from storage battery ECU52 by communication.In the following description, the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 can be known as battery tension Vb.
The battery tension Vb compare with predetermined threshold Vs1, Vs2 (step S110) of input.When battery tension Vb was not higher than predetermined threshold Vs1, CPU72 turn-offed the gate pole (gate) (step S120) of the inverter 45 that is used for A/C 46.When battery tension Vb was not less than predetermined threshold Vs2, CPU72 conducting again was used for the gate pole (step S130) of the inverter 45 of A/C 46.Predetermined threshold Vs1, Vs2 are set to such an extent that have certain hysteresis, with the shutoff of the gate pole that prevents inverter 45 and the frequent transitions between the conducting again.Threshold value Vs1, Vs2 are higher than the minimum required voltage of the proper handling of EPS48.
Afterwards, the battery tension Vb of input compare with predetermined threshold Vm1, Vm2 (step S140).When battery tension Vb was not higher than predetermined threshold Vm1, CPU72 turn-offed the gate pole (step S150) of the inverter 41,42 that is used for motor M G1, MG2.When battery tension Vb was not less than predetermined threshold Vm2, CPU72 conducting again was used for the gate pole (step S160) of the inverter 41,42 of motor M G1, MG2.After the processing of step S150 or S160, CPU72 withdraws from from this electric power supply control routine.The same with threshold value Vs1, Vs2, predetermined threshold Vm1, Vm2 are set to such an extent that have certain hysteresis, with the shutoff of the gate pole that prevents inverter 41,42 and the frequent transitions between the conducting again.Threshold value Vm1, Vm2 are lower than the minimum required voltage that predetermined threshold Vs1, Vs2 still are higher than the proper handling of EPS48.
Fig. 3 shows inverter 45 that is used for A/C 46 when the reduction of the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 and the time series door operation that is used for the inverter 41,42 of motor M G1, MG2.When the voltage between terminals Vb of measured storage battery 50 reduced to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vs1, the gate pole that is used for the inverter 45 of A/C 46 was turned off to stop the electric power supply (at moment t1) for A/C 46.When battery tension Vb further reduced to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vm1, the gate pole that is used for the inverter 41,42 of motor M G1, MG2 was turned off to stop the electric power supply (at moment t2) for motor M G1, MG2.The shutoff of gate pole has reduced the power consumption of A/C 46 and motor M G1, MG2 and has finally caused the rising of the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50.When the battery tension Vb that increases meets or exceeds predetermined threshold Vm2, the gate pole of inverter 41,42 that is used for motor M G1, MG2 by conducting again to recover electric power supply (at moment t3) for motor M G1, MG2.When battery tension Vb further increases to or surpass predetermined threshold Vs2, the gate pole of inverter 45 that is used for A/C 46 by conducting again to recover electric power supply (at moment t4) for A/C 46.By this way, in response to the reduction of the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 and stop for A/C 46 and for the electric power supply of motor M G1, MG2, to guarantee supply for the required electric power of EPS48.Threshold value Vs1, Vm1 are as stopping for A/C 46 and for the benchmark of the electric power supply of motor M G1, MG2.These threshold values Vs1, Vm1 be by settings such as test methods, keeps to such an extent that be equal to or greater than the minimum required voltage of the proper handling that is used for EPS48 with the voltage between terminals Vb with storage battery 50.
Aforesaid, when the voltage between terminals Vb of measured storage battery 50 reduced to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vs1, the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment turn-offed the gate pole of inverter 45 to stop the electric power supply for A/C 46.When the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 further reduced to or is lower than predetermined threshold Vm1, the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment turn-offed the gate pole of inverter 41,42 to stop the electric power supply for motor M G1, MG2.Threshold value Vs1, Vm1 remain the minimum required voltage that is equal to or greater than the proper handling that is used for EPS48 by settings such as test methods with the voltage between terminals Vb with storage battery 50.This layout has been guaranteed the minimum required voltage of EPS48 proper handling, even therefore also guaranteed stable turning efficiency under the situation that storage battery 50 voltages reduce.After stopping, the electric power supply for A/C 46 stops electric power supply for motor M G1, MG2.This layout gives the preceence that motor M G1, MG2 are better than A/C 46, has therefore kept good driving sensation.
Motor M G1, the motor M G2, storage battery 50, A/C 46, EPS48 and the voltage sensor 51a that are included in the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment correspond respectively to electrical generator of the present invention, electrical motor, electricity accumulating unit, subsidiary engine, turn to supplementary structure and voltage measurement module.The mixed electronic control unit 70 of the electric power supply control routine of execution present embodiment is corresponding to control module of the present invention.Predetermined threshold Vs1, the Vm1 of present embodiment is equivalent to first predetermined value of the present invention and second predetermined value respectively.
In the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment, set by test method etc. for A/C 46 and for threshold value Vs1, the Vm1 of the benchmark of the electric power supply of motor M G1, MG2 as being used to stop, remaining on the minimum required voltage that is equal to or greater than the proper handling that is used for EPS48 with voltage between terminals Vb storage battery 50.The voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 can strictly not remain on the minimum required voltage that is used for the EPS48 proper handling but can be a little less than minimum required voltage.
In the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment, when the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 reduced to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vm1, the gate pole of inverter 41,42 was turned off to stop the electric power supply for motor M G1, MG2.Yet, more optional between battery tension Vb and the threshold value Vm1.What require usually is to stop the electric power supply for A/C 46 before the electric power supply that stops for motor M G1, MG2.A kind of feasibility correction can be at the gate pole that turn-offs inverter 45 certainly to stop timing for the electric power supply of A/C 46 through after the predetermined amount of time, and the gate pole that turn-offs inverter 41,42 is to stop the electric power supply for motor M G1, MG2.When some disappearances of driving sensation can be ignored, before stopping, can not stopping electric power supply for A/C 46 for the electric power supply of motor M G1, MG2.Can with for the electric power supply of A/C 46 stop simultaneously or even prior to carry out stopping for the stopping of electric power supply of A/C 46 for the electric power supply of motor M G1, MG2.
The foregoing description relates to stopping for the electric power supply of A/C 46 in the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20.Technology of the present invention also can be applicable to stop for (for example, electric stabiliser) the electric power supply, and stop electric power supply for any a plurality of subsidiary engines in the motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of any subsidiary engine the A/C 46 in motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20.
The motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 of present embodiment stops the electric power supply for A/C 46 when the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 reduces to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vs1, and stops the electric power supply for motor M G1, MG2 then when battery tension Vb further reduces to or be lower than predetermined threshold Vm1.A kind of Correction and Control program can be turn-offed the gate pole of inverter 47 in addition and be stopped electric power supply for EPS48 when battery tension Vb reduces to such an extent that be lower than predetermined threshold Ve, described threshold value Ve is lower than predetermined threshold Vm1 and can equals or a little more than the minimum required voltage of the proper handling that is used for EPS48.In this case, with before stopping the electric power supply for EPS48, this preferable procedure reduces the auxiliary torque that outputs to steering hardware from EPS48 gradually at the gate pole that turn-offs inverter 47.Flow process at Fig. 4 there is shown the correction routine that described electric power supply is controlled, and there is shown the routine of the corresponding EPS control of being carried out by EPS-ECU48b in the flow process of Fig. 5.
The correction electric power supply control routine of Fig. 4 has the identical step S100 of corresponding steps in the electric power supply control routine with the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 to S160.In the correction electric power supply control routine of Fig. 4, at step S140 after the processing of S160, with the voltage between terminals Vb of measured storage battery 50 further compare (step S200) with the predetermined threshold Ve that is lower than predetermined threshold Vs1, Vm1.When the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 reduced to such an extent that be lower than predetermined threshold Ve, CPU72 was to EPS-ECU48b output stopping requirement (step S210).When receiving the suspension of licence that sends from EPS-ECU48b (step S220), CPU72 turn-offs the gate pole (step S230) of the inverter 47 that is used for EPS48.
In the EPS of Fig. 5 control routine, whether EPS-ECU48b at first sets with the corresponding auxiliary torque Tas of deflection angle (step S300) and judges to have received from mixed electronic control unit 70 and stop requirement (step S310).Do not having reception to stop under the situation of requirement, EPS-ECU48b drive motor 48a is with output auxiliary torque Tas (step S360) and stop the EPS control routine.On the other hand, receiving from mixed electronic control unit 70 when stopping requirement, EPS-ECU48b adds one (step S320) for counting machine C.Counting machine C has initial value " 0 " and is added to predetermined reference value Cref.EPS-ECU48b sets the factor k that reduces gradually, and this factor k is along with the counting of counting machine C is reduced to numerical value " 0 " (step S330) up to predetermined reference value Cref gradually from numerical value " 1 ".Auxiliary torque Tas is proofreaied and correct the factor k that reduces gradually up to this continuously and is reached numerical value " 0 " (step S350) by multiplying each other with the factor k that reduces gradually.EPS-ECU48b drive motor 48a is with the auxiliary torque Tas (step S360) of output calibration and stop the EPS control routine afterwards.When the factor k that reduces gradually reached numerical value " 0 ", EPS-ECU48b was to mixed electronic control unit 70 output suspension of licence (step S370).The factor k that reduces gradually is reduced to the required time of numerical value " 0 " and depends on the execution interval of predetermined reference value Cref and EPS control.Reference value Cref is set to such an extent that the feasible factor k that reduces gradually reaches numerical value " 0 " in the time period in for example about 2 seconds.
When the voltage between terminals Vb of storage battery 50 reduced to such an extent that be lower than predetermined threshold Ve, the electric power supply control routine of execution graph 4 and the EPS control routine of Fig. 5 were to reduce the auxiliary torque Tas of EPS48 gradually in the time period in about 2 seconds.When the auxiliary torque Tas that reduces reached numerical value " 0 ", the gate pole of inverter 47 was turned off to stop the electric power supply for the motor 48a of EPS48.The reduction of the voltage between terminals Vb of the storage battery 50 during driving in response to motor vehicle driven by mixed power 20 and stopping before the electric power supply for the motor 48a of EPS48, the control of this correction reduces the auxiliary torque Tas of EPS48 gradually.This layout has advantageously been avoided turning to of momentary heavy.The factor k that the control program setting of this correction reduces gradually is to reduce the auxiliary torque Tas of EPS48 gradually.The factor k that reduces gradually can not be set in another correction, but can directly carry out the reduction gradually of auxiliary torque Tas.
