Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric power steering systems for automobiles, and in particular to a method for obtaining external characteristics of a permanent magnet synchronous motor online using acceleration and power. Background Art

[0002] The automotive industry is rapidly developing, with increasing levels of vehicle electrification and consumers demanding a more refined driving experience. Electric Power Steering (EPS), a power steering system that relies directly on an electric motor to provide assist torque, is more capable of meeting the higher standards and requirements for steering feel required by vehicle manufacturers than traditional hydraulic systems (HPS).

[0003] EPS generally uses a small-sized, high-power-density permanent magnet synchronous motor as its power source. Figure 1 The characteristic curve represents the maximum output capacity of the motor at rated voltage, ensuring stable operation, limiting bus current, and extending motor life. Therefore, obtaining an accurate characteristic curve is an important prerequisite for motor control.

[0004] Traditional methods for obtaining the external characteristic curves of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) rely on calibrating the motor's maximum output torque at different voltages and speeds. This requires calibrating the curves at several voltages, a labor-intensive process and requiring numerous tables to be stored. EPS systems frequently experience rapid steering wheel rotation. These sudden, high-frequency conditions can cause sudden drops in battery voltage, current, and motor speed, limiting the motor's maximum output capacity. In these situations, the interpolation lookup table method for obtaining the motor's maximum output torque no longer meets the required accuracy and dynamic performance.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a method to obtain the external characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous motors online using acceleration and power. Summary of the Invention
