- causes of unexpected MCU reset due to cranking, etc. are as follows: (1) When the engine is restarted from idling stop due to signal stop, etc., (2) From the engine stop due to long downhill detection (to improve fuel efficiency) When the engine is restarted, (3) When the engine is restarted due to a torque request from the engine stop (for fuel efficiency improvement) by detecting the traveling speed below a predetermined speed (for example, about 14 km / h), (4) Noise, device latch-up, etc. The influence of, etc. can be considered. Among these factors, as for factors (1) to (3), MCU reset may occur when battery deterioration overlaps.

- the conditions for re-ONing the FET of the motor release switch are as follows. After the MCU 128 is restarted (reset is released), the energy is calculated more accurately by calculating the energy from the rotation speed rpm of the motor 20 and the maximum allowable loss from the temperature information Tp of the thermistor 141, and the energy falls within the safe operating range.

Further, the following conditions (a) to (c) are required when the inverter 106 is driven again.
- the temperature of the thermistor 141 can be measured normally.
- the reset period is within a predetermined time.
- (C) The temperature information recorded when the reset occurs and the temperature information acquired after the reset is released are within a predetermined temperature difference. If the above conditions (a) to (c) are not satisfied, after the torque limit of the motor 20 is set (the limit is variable according to the difference between the recorded temperature information and the detected temperature information), the inverter 106 is driven. To do.
- the reason for torque limitation is that the motor temperature during operation is generally estimated from the temperature information inside the ECU and the integrated value of the motor control current. However, if the integrated information is cleared by MCU reset or the like, the temperature is estimated. This is because when the normal control is performed while the estimated temperature is lower than the actual motor temperature, the motor coil may be damaged, so that the current must be limited to protect the motor.

At the time of resetting, date information (time stamp) and temperature information from the thermistor 141 are recorded in the recording device 127. Then, the reset state is continued (step S44) until the reset of the MCU 128 is released (step S43).

That is, it is determined whether or not “energy calculation result> safe operation range”, and when the calculated energy W deviates from the calculated safe operation range, that is, when the motor rotation speed rpm is high, regeneration is performed. This is a danger area where the electric power causes the FET destruction, and the motor open switch 140 continues to be turned off. Thus, control for returning the regenerative current to the power source is performed, and a braking force is applied to the rotating motor.
- step S61 it is determined whether or not the above-described equation 6 or 7 is satisfied. If equation 7 is satisfied, there is a possibility of temperature change, and whether or not “current temperature ⁇ recorded temperature” is satisfied.

In addition, when the motor current is limited, the current limit is released by confirming that the ignition key is turned off and the normal state is restored.
- the motor rotation speed is detected based on the rotation sensor (resolver).
- the motor rotation speed can also be estimated by detecting the current using the motor terminal voltage and the shunt resistance.
- the thermistor is taken as an example of the temperature sensor.
- a temperature measuring resistor, a thermocouple, an IC temperature sensor using the temperature characteristics of the transistor, a crystal thermometer using the Y-cut of the crystal, etc. It is also possible to use.

Abstract
Description
(数1)
E=k・単位時間当たりモータ回転数
ただし、kは、モータ20の磁束密度やロータ径等によって定まるモータ定数である。
サーミスタ141によりモータ開放スイッチ140の温度(若しくはその周辺温度)Tpが検出され(ステップS23)、更に最大許容損失Pdが演算され(ステップS24)、制御部120に入力される。制御部120内の安全動作領域演算部126は、温度Tp及び最大許容損失Pdに基づいてモータ開放スイッチ140の安全動作領域を演算する(ステップS25)。
(1)経路A:インバータFET短絡故障以外の異常
回生電圧が電源電圧(+インバータの内部寄生ダイオードの順方向電圧)を超えたとき、回生電流は、インバータ106のHigh側FET(FET1~FET3)の内部寄生ダイオードを通って電源電圧に向かって流れる。この時の電流量Ir1は、数2で求められる。
(数2)
Ir1=(VM-VR-Vf)/R
ただし、VfはFETの内部寄生ダイオードの順方向電圧、Rは回生電流が流れる回路抵抗である。
(2)経路B:インバータFET短絡故障の異常
一方、インバータ106のLow側FET(FET4~FET6)が短絡故障を起こした場合、回生電流は短絡故障を起こしたFETと電流検出回路133を通ってGND(接地)に流れる。この時の電流量Ir2は、数3で求められる。
(数3)
Ir2=VM/(R+Rsh)
ただし、Rshは電流検出回路133内の抵抗であり、一般的に極小抵抗が用いられる。
上記2種類の回生電流Ir1及びIr2を比較すると、同一の逆起電圧VMが発生した場合において、一般的に数4となる。
(数4)
Ir2>Ir1
この回生電流Ir1,Ir2をモータ回転数に応じて事前に計測し、テーブルとしてECU等のメモリに格納して、回生電力の算出に用いる。
(数5)
(a)制御段FETの短絡が疑われる異常 → パラメータ1をセット
(b)上記以外の異常 → パラメータ2(<パラメータ1)をセット
そして、異常が検出された場合には、いずれもアシスト制御の継続が不可能と判断し、制御部120によりインバータ106の制御をOFFにし(ステップS30)、以降は前述の第1実施形態と同一である。ただし、第2実施形態では異常に応じてパラメータ1及び2がセットされているので、ステップS22におけるエネルギー演算では、同一のモータ回転数でも異なるエネルギー値が演算される。
MCU128の再スタート(リセット解除)後、モータ20の回転数rpmからエネルギーを、サーミスタ141の温度情報Tpから最大許容損失を演算してより正確にエネルギーを算出し、エネルギーが安全動作領域内となった以降にモータ開放スイッチ140のFETU~FETWを再ONすることで、安全に保護することが可能である。更に、MCU128の瞬停リセットに伴い、モータ推定温度は一旦リセットされるが、万が一温度が一定温度以上に上昇していた場合、そのまま電流を通電すると、モータコイル焼損などの異常が発生する恐れがある。
(数6)
現在のタイムスタンプ-記録したタイムスタンプ < Ta
(数7)
現在のタイムスタンプ-記録したタイムスタンプ ≧ Ta
また、上記数7のときで、「現在の温度情報≒記録した温度情報」の場合には温度変化は殆どないと判断して、記録したモータ推定温度情報を用いて制御を継続し、「現在の温度情報≠記録した温度情報」の場合にはモータの温度情報不確定と判断して、トルク制限(電流制限)を行い、温度上昇を抑える制御を実行する。
更に、インバータ106を再駆動する際には、下記の条件(a)~(c)が必要となる。
(a)サーミスタ141の温度を正常に測定できること。
(b)リセット期間が所定の時間内であること。
(c)リセット発生時に記録した温度情報とリセット解除後に取得した温度情報が所定の温度差内であること。
もし上記条件(a)~(c)が整わない場合は、モータ20のトルク制限を設定後(記録した温度情報と検出した温度情報の差に応じて制限は可変とする)、インバータ106を駆動する。トルク制限する理由は、動作時のモータ温度はECU内部の温度情報とモータ制御電流の積算値などから推定するのが一般的であるが、MCUリセットなどにより積算情報がクリアされると、温度推定が正確にできなくなり、推定温度が実モータ温度より低いまま通常の制御を行った場合、モータのコイル損傷が発生する恐れがあるため電流制限を行い、モータを保護する必要があるからである。
