Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of NVH control of electric vehicles, in particular to a motor controller NVH random frequency conversion control method of a pure electric vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the advancement of electrification, the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) of electric vehicles, i.e. noise, vibration and smoothness quality, is increasingly concerned. Poor NVH quality will reduce the subjective driving experience of the driver. Compared with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, the NVH problem of electric vehicles is more prominent in some aspects due to their own low damping and high speed characteristics. In particular, the pure electric vehicle is equipped with a motor controller, which has a power switching device. The switching frequency of this device on the pure electric vehicle is generally 5-10KHz. The high-frequency noise brought by high switching frequency will make people uncomfortable. In the existing pure electric vehicle, the IGBT switching frequency noise in the motor controller is generally suppressed by frequency folding control, i.e. using segmented IGBT switching frequency when the motor controller high-frequency noise is poor to avoid the IGBT high-frequency noise poor area. At the moment when the IGBT noise is poor, directly changing the switching frequency base frequency has two problems: 1. Directly changing the switching frequency does not consider the efficiency. Only adjusting the IGBT switching frequency, the motor controller efficiency is lower. Only adjusting the low switching frequency, the current waveform sinusoidal degree in this time period is affected. 2. Due to the difference in consistency of the motor controller production, the noise may not be concentrated at the base frequency, but may be concentrated at other frequency bands.
