Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a braking system of an electric vehicle and a control method thereof, in particular to a coupling system of eddy current braking and regenerative braking of an electric vehicle and a control method thereof, belonging to the field of automobile braking systems. Background technique [0002] Eddy current braking is also called eddy current retarding or electromagnetic braking, and generally consists of a stator, a rotor and a fixed bracket. When the retarder is working, the stator coil is energized to generate a magnetic field, and the rotor rotates with the transmission shaft. The rotor cuts the magnetic field lines generated by the stator, thereby generating a vortex-shaped induced current inside the rotor disk. In this way, the stator will apply an electromagnetic force to the rotor that hinders the rotation of the rotor, thereby generating a braking torque. At the same time, the eddy current circulates inside the rotor disk...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, regenerative braking technology is restricted by factors such as motor characteristics and battery characteristics, and the braking torque provided is small, which cannot meet the braking needs of the car. As an auxiliary braking, it needs to be coordinated with friction braking for control

For example, when the vehicle speed decreases, the electromotive force generated by the motor is very low, and it is difficult to use DC/DC boost to charge the battery. If the motor performs pure motor energy consumption braking, the winding resistance is very small, even if the electromotive force of the generator is already small. , but the pure motor energy consumption braking current is still very large, too large will cause the motor to heat up, and it is difficult to perform regenerative braking; when braking on a long d
