Abstract

一種電動車的控制系統,包含一電動馬達、至少一車輪、一變速機構、至少一用於感測該電動車之車輛狀態的感測器,及一訊號連接該至少一感測器的控制單元。當車輛狀態異常而符合預先設定的第一條件時,該控制單元會將該變速機構切換至該第一檔位,這時該動力馬達仍可透過該變速機構帶動該至少一車輪,但該至少一車輪無法透過該變速機構帶動該動力馬達,因此當遇到下坡或該電動車被拖行等狀況而使該至少一車輪的轉速過高時,該至少一車輪不會帶動該動力馬達旋轉,如此可避免該動力馬達轉速過高,並抑止反電動勢的產生。A control system for an electric vehicle, comprising an electric motor, at least one wheel, a speed change mechanism, at least one sensor for sensing the vehicle state of the electric vehicle, and a control unit signally connected to the at least one sensor . When the state of the vehicle is abnormal and meets the preset first condition, the control unit will switch the speed change mechanism to the first gear position. At this time, the power motor can still drive the at least one wheel through the speed change mechanism, but the at least one wheel The wheels cannot drive the power motor through the transmission mechanism, so when the speed of the at least one wheel is too high due to conditions such as downhill or the electric vehicle is being towed, the at least one wheel will not drive the power motor to rotate, In this way, the rotational speed of the power motor can be avoided from being too high, and the generation of counter electromotive force can be suppressed.

Description

電動車的控制系統Electric vehicle control system

本發明是有關於一種控制系統,特別是指一種電動車的控制系統。The invention relates to a control system, in particular to a control system of an electric vehicle.

現時的電動機車多以永磁同步馬達作為動力來源,但此種馬達的轉速和其三相線所感應的電壓成正比,從而具有反電動勢特性,除了馬達被過度加速外,當車輪因下坡或車體被拖動等特殊情形而造成轉速過高時,都會使馬達的轉速過快而導致反電動勢過高,由於用於控制馬達的馬達控制器通常由金氧半導體場效電晶體(MOSFET)及電容組成,當反電動勢過高時,金氧半導體場效電晶體及電容就容易發生過壓擊穿而造成永久性失效。雖然現時有透過煞車回充或使馬達弱磁等手段來避免反電動勢過高,但這些手段仍存在失效的情況,例如當電池充飽電而關閉煞車回充,或是馬達控制器為斷電狀態的時候,上述手段便無法產生作用,因此現行應對馬達反電動勢過高的策略仍有不少改進之空間。Current electric vehicles mostly use permanent magnet synchronous motors as power sources, but the speed of this type of motor is proportional to the voltage induced by its three-phase line, so it has the characteristics of counter electromotive force. In addition to the excessive acceleration of the motor, when the wheels are downhill When the speed is too high due to special circumstances such as the car body being dragged, the speed of the motor will be too fast and the counter electromotive force will be too high. Because the motor controller used to control the motor is usually composed of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET ) and capacitors, when the counter electromotive force is too high, the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor and the capacitor are prone to overvoltage breakdown and cause permanent failure. Although there are methods such as brake recharging or motor weakening to avoid excessive back electromotive force, these methods still have failures, such as turning off the brake recharging when the battery is fully charged, or the motor controller is powered off. When the state is high, the above-mentioned means will not be effective, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in the current strategy for dealing with excessively high back-EMF of the motor.

[本發明欲解決之課題][Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

因此,本發明之目的,即在提供一種可在各種行駛狀態下有效避免馬達反電動勢過高之控制系統。Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a control system that can effectively avoid excessive back electromotive force of the motor under various driving conditions.

該變速機構3包括一連動該動力馬達1的輸入軸31、一連動位於後方之車輪2的輸出軸32、一設置於該輸入軸31及該輸出軸32上的減速齒輪組33、一設置於該減速齒輪組33上的單向離合件34、一設置於該輸入軸31上的離合器35、一連動該離合器35的推壓件36,及一用於帶動該推壓件36的驅動桿37。該減速齒輪組33具有一固定於該輸入軸31上的一檔輸入齒輪331、一可相對轉動地樞設於該輸入軸31上的二檔輸入齒輪332、一可相對於該輸出軸32樞轉地設置且與該一檔輸入齒輪331相嚙合的一檔輸出齒輪333,及一固定於該輸出軸32上且與該二檔輸入齒輪332相嚙合的二檔輸出齒輪334。該一檔輸出齒輪333套設於該二檔輸出齒輪334上,且兩者沿徑向界定出一環狀空間335。該單向離合件34設置於該環狀空間335內,其可在該一檔輸出齒輪333旋轉時帶動該二檔輸出齒輪334同步旋轉,但當該二檔輸出齒輪334旋轉時,該單向離合件34不會帶動該一檔輸出齒輪333,達到單向離合之功效。該離合器35具有一可轉動地樞設於該輸入軸31上且固定連接該二檔輸入齒輪332的外盤體351、一對應該外盤體351地固定設置於該輸入軸31上的內盤體352、一可滑移地設置於該輸入軸31上且位於該外盤體351及該內盤體352之間的從動盤353、複數位於該內盤體352及該從動盤353之間的壓板354,及複數與該等壓板354交錯設置且連接該外盤體351的摩擦板355。該推壓件36具有一可連動該從動盤353且可沿該輸入軸31被推動的推銷361,及一軸向插置於該輸入軸31中且可推動該推銷361的推頂桿362。該驅動桿37沿上下方向延伸且被馬達或其他動力元件帶動旋轉。The speed change mechanism 3 includes an input shaft 31 linked with the power motor 1, an output shaft 32 linked with the wheel 2 located at the rear, a reduction gear set 33 arranged on the input shaft 31 and the output shaft 32, and an The one-way clutch 34 on the reduction gear set 33, a clutch 35 arranged on the input shaft 31, a pusher 36 that drives the clutch 35, and a drive rod 37 for driving the pusher 36 . The reduction gear set 33 has a first-speed input gear 331 fixed on the input shaft 31, a second-speed input gear 332 pivotally arranged on the input shaft 31 that can rotate relatively, and a second-speed input gear 332 that can pivot relative to the output shaft 32. A first-speed output gear 333 rotatably arranged and meshed with the first-speed input gear 331 , and a second-speed output gear 334 fixed on the output shaft 32 and meshed with the second-speed input gear 332 . The first gear output gear 333 is sheathed on the second gear output gear 334 , and both of them define an annular space 335 radially. The one-way clutch 34 is arranged in the annular space 335, and it can drive the second-speed output gear 334 to rotate synchronously when the first-speed output gear 333 rotates, but when the second-speed output gear 334 rotates, the one-way Clutch 34 will not drive the first gear output gear 333 to achieve the effect of one-way clutch.

參閱圖1、圖2,及圖4,該變速機構3可受控制而在一如圖4所示的第一檔位及一如圖2所示的第二檔位之間切換,當透過馬達等動力源帶動該驅動桿37旋轉至如圖4所示的位置,也就是切換至該第一檔位時,該驅動桿37會將該推頂桿362向內推動而使其在該輸入軸31內軸向移動,同時該推頂桿362也會推動該推銷361一起移動。由於該推銷361和該從動盤353連動,因此該從動盤353也會被帶動,造成該從動盤353遠離該內盤體352並靠近該外盤體351,前述的動作除了會壓縮該從動盤353及該內盤體352之間的彈簧356外,也會讓位於該從動盤353及該內盤體352之間的該等壓板354及該等摩擦板355彼此相間隔,如此一來當該輸入軸31被該動力馬達1帶動旋轉時,固定於該輸入軸31上的內盤體352會跟著旋轉,但該等壓板354及連接該外盤體351的該等摩擦板355卻不會跟著旋轉,因此該外盤體351及連接該外盤體351的二檔輸入齒輪332也就不會被帶動了。此時僅有固定連接該輸入軸31的一檔輸入齒輪331會旋轉,並帶動與其相嚙合的一檔輸出齒輪333旋轉,最後該一檔輸出齒輪333透過該單向離合件34帶動該二檔輸出齒輪334同步旋轉,以使與該二檔輸出齒輪334固定設置的輸出軸32能被帶動旋轉,進而驅動位於後方之車輪2轉動。在該第一檔位時,若位於後方之車輪2帶動該輸出軸32轉動時,跟著轉動的該二檔輸出齒輪334將無法透過該單向離合件34帶動該一檔輸出齒輪333轉動,因而無法透過該車輪2帶動該動力馬達1旋轉。Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4, the speed change mechanism 3 can be controlled to switch between a first gear as shown in Fig. 4 and a second gear as shown in Fig. 2, when through the motor Wait for the power source to drive the drive rod 37 to rotate to the position shown in Figure 4, that is, when switching to the first gear, the drive rod 37 will push the ejector rod 362 inward to make it on the input shaft. 31 to move axially, and at the same time, the ejector rod 362 will also push the push pin 361 to move together. Since the push pin 361 and the driven disk 353 are interlocked, the driven disk 353 will also be driven, causing the driven disk 353 to move away from the inner disk body 352 and approach the outer disk body 351. The aforementioned actions will not only compress the driven disk body In addition to the spring 356 between the driven disk 353 and the inner disk body 352, the pressure plates 354 and the friction plates 355 between the driven disk 353 and the inner disk body 352 are spaced apart from each other, so that When the input shaft 31 is driven to rotate by the power motor 1, the inner disc body 352 fixed on the input shaft 31 will rotate accordingly, but the equal pressure plate 354 and the friction plates 355 connected to the outer disc body 351 will not Then rotate, so this outer disc body 351 and the second gear input gear 332 connected with this outer disc body 351 will not be driven. At this time, only the first gear input gear 331 fixedly connected to the input shaft 31 will rotate, and drive the first gear output gear 333 meshed with it to rotate, and finally the first gear output gear 333 drives the second gear through the one-way clutch 34 The output gear 334 rotates synchronously, so that the output shaft 32 fixedly arranged with the second gear output gear 334 can be driven to rotate, and then drive the wheel 2 at the rear to rotate. During the first gear position, if the wheel 2 at the rear drives the output shaft 32 to rotate, the second gear output gear 334 that rotates will not be able to drive the first gear output gear 333 to rotate through the one-way clutch 34, thus The power motor 1 cannot be driven to rotate through the wheel 2 .

當透過馬達等動力源帶動該驅動桿37旋轉至如圖2所示的位置,也就是切換至該第二檔位時,該驅動桿37不再內推該推頂桿362及該推銷361,因此該從動盤353及該內盤體352之間的彈簧356不再受壓而釋放彈力位能,這讓該從動盤353靠近該內盤體352且遠離該外盤體351,且該從動盤353與該內盤體352相配合夾制該等壓板354及該等摩擦板355,彼此緊抵的該等壓板354及該摩擦板355會因為摩擦力而一同轉動,這讓隨著該輸入軸31旋轉的內盤體352能透過該等摩擦板355連動該外盤體351同步旋轉,進而使該二檔輸入齒輪332轉動。該二檔輸入齒輪332會帶動相嚙合的二檔輸出齒輪334轉動,最終使該輸出軸32旋轉以帶動位於後方之車輪2。需要特別說明的是,在該前述過程中,該一檔輸入齒輪331同樣會帶動該一檔輸出齒輪333旋轉,但該單向離合件34會使該一檔輸出齒輪333無法帶動該二檔輸出齒輪334,以避免兩者相互干擾。另一方面,在該第二檔位時,由於動力傳遞並未直接經過該單向離合件34,因此該動力馬達1可依前述作動順序帶動該車輪2,該車輪2也可依相反之順序帶動該動力馬達1。When the driving rod 37 is rotated to the position shown in Figure 2 through a power source such as a motor, that is, when switching to the second gear, the driving rod 37 no longer pushes the ejector rod 362 and the push pin 361 inwardly, Therefore, the spring 356 between the driven disc 353 and the inner disc body 352 is no longer under pressure to release the elastic potential energy, which allows the driven disc 353 to be close to the inner disc body 352 and away from the outer disc body 351, and the driven disc 353 The disc 353 cooperates with the inner disc body 352 to clamp the equal pressure plates 354 and the friction plates 355, and the equal pressure plates 354 and the friction plates 355 which are pressed against each other can rotate together due to friction, which allows the input shaft to The rotating inner disk 352 can drive the outer disk 351 to rotate synchronously through the friction plates 355, and then make the second gear input gear 332 rotate. The second gear input gear 332 will drive the meshed second gear output gear 334 to rotate, and finally the output shaft 32 will rotate to drive the wheel 2 at the rear. It should be noted that, in the aforementioned process, the first-gear input gear 331 will also drive the first-gear output gear 333 to rotate, but the one-way clutch 34 will prevent the first-gear output gear 333 from driving the second-gear output. gear 334 to avoid mutual interference between the two. On the other hand, in the second gear position, since the power transmission does not directly pass through the one-way clutch 34, the power motor 1 can drive the wheel 2 according to the aforementioned sequence of actions, and the wheel 2 can also be driven in the opposite sequence. Drive this power motor 1.

參閱圖1、圖2,及圖5,在本實施例中,該等感測器4分別監測該動力馬達1的轉速,及位於前方之車輪2的輪速(在此處以車速來換算)。該控制單元5為車輛控制器(VCU),可用於控制馬達帶動該驅動桿37旋轉。該控制系統的運作流程如圖4所示,在該電動車行駛時,若該動力馬達1的轉速高於一第一閥值時且持續超過一第一時間時,該控制單元5便會驅動該驅動桿37旋轉,以使該變速機構3切換至該第一檔位,透過該單向離合件34如前所述的單向傳動特性,使該動力馬達1可持續帶動後方之車輪2轉動,但該車輪2不會帶動該動力馬達1,如此可抑止該動力馬達1轉速過高,並避免該馬達控制器63發生過壓擊穿之情形。在本實施例中,該第一閥值約為12000RPM(約為時速120公里),該第一時間約為0.1秒至2秒。當相對應感測器4監測到前方之車輪2的轉速低於一第二閥值且持續超過一第二時間時,該控制單元5驅動該驅動桿37旋轉,以使該變速機構3切換回該第二檔位,此時不僅該動力馬達1可帶動後方之車輪2,該車輪2也可帶動該動力馬達1而回復正常之行駛狀態。在本實施例中,該第二閥值約為時速95公里,該第二時間約為0.1秒至2秒。Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 5, in the present embodiment, these sensors 4 monitor the rotation speed of the power motor 1 and the wheel speed of the front wheel 2 (converted with vehicle speed here) respectively. The control unit 5 is a vehicle controller (VCU), which can be used to control the motor to drive the driving rod 37 to rotate. The operation flow of the control system is shown in Figure 4. When the electric vehicle is running, if the rotational speed of the power motor 1 is higher than a first threshold and lasts longer than a first time, the control unit 5 will drive The driving lever 37 rotates to switch the transmission mechanism 3 to the first gear, and through the one-way transmission characteristic of the one-way clutch 34 as mentioned above, the power motor 1 can continuously drive the wheel 2 at the rear to rotate , but the wheel 2 will not drive the power motor 1, so that the speed of the power motor 1 can be suppressed from being too high, and the motor controller 63 can be prevented from overvoltage breakdown. In this embodiment, the first threshold is about 12000 RPM (about 120 kilometers per hour), and the first time is about 0.1 second to 2 seconds. When the corresponding sensor 4 detects that the rotational speed of the front wheel 2 is lower than a second threshold and lasts for more than a second time, the control unit 5 drives the drive lever 37 to rotate so that the speed change mechanism 3 switches back to This second gear position, now not only this power motor 1 can drive the wheel 2 of rear, this wheel 2 also can drive this power motor 1 and get back to the normal driving state. In this embodiment, the second threshold is about 95 kilometers per hour, and the second time is about 0.1 second to 2 seconds.

需要特別說明的是,前述的該第一、第二閥值及該第一、第二時間可依該電動車的實際性能及消費者需求調整,不以前述的參數為限,且監測位於前方之車輪2的感測器4也可監測位於後方之車輪2,另一方面,本實施例也可以透過其他感測器4來監測該電動車的其他車輛狀態,並設定需要切換至該第一檔位的一第一條件,及可切換至該第二檔位以回復正常行駛狀態的一第二條件,以根據不同需求建立防止該動力馬達1轉速過高的保護機制,且具有相當大的設計彈性。更重要的是,本實施例不僅適用於一般車輛下坡或被拖行之情況,在該電池單元62滿電或該馬達控制器63斷電的情境下也能正常運作。It should be noted that the above-mentioned first and second thresholds and the first and second times can be adjusted according to the actual performance of the electric vehicle and consumer demand, and are not limited to the above-mentioned parameters, and the monitoring is located in the front The sensor 4 of the wheel 2 can also monitor the wheel 2 located at the rear. On the other hand, this embodiment can also monitor other vehicle states of the electric vehicle through other sensors 4, and set the need to switch to the first A first condition of the gear, and a second condition that can be switched to the second gear to return to the normal driving state, so as to establish a protection mechanism to prevent the power motor 1 from rotating too high according to different needs, and has a considerable Designed for flexibility. More importantly, the present embodiment is not only suitable for the general vehicle downhill or being towed, but also works normally when the battery unit 62 is fully charged or the motor controller 63 is powered off.
