[0026] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0027] The following describes a method for detecting the connection state of a high-voltage power supply of a motor control system, a motor controller, a computer-readable storage medium, a motor control system, a compressor, and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Vehicles, such as hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, are equipped with motor control systems for controlling the motors of compressors on the vehicles. The motor control system includes an inverter circuit that is used to convert the main stream voltage (such as the power battery voltage) into alternating current to drive the motor and provide corresponding power for the vehicle. Among them, the power battery is generally a high-voltage battery, which is connected to the inverter circuit through a high-voltage connector as a high-voltage power supply. As an important bridge for transmitting electrical energy, the connection state of the high-voltage connector determines the working state of the vehicle compressor. Therefore, detecting the connection state of the high-voltage connector in a timely manner can prevent the occurrence of vehicle safety accidents and ensure the personal and property safety of vehicle users.

[0029] When the compressor of the vehicle is in an inoperative state, the three phases of U, V, and W are connected together through the motor windings, and the resistance between phases is much smaller than the impedance of other parts, so the voltage division of the windings can be ignored, and at this time, it can be considered that the potentials of the three phases of U, V, and W are equal. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, taking phase U as an example, a method for detecting the connection state of a high-voltage power supply of a motor control system, a motor controller, a computer-readable storage medium, a motor control system, and a vehicle according to the embodiments of the present application is described. Of course, the solution of the present application is applicable not only to three-phase but also to single-phase.

[0030] Figure 1 It is a partial topology diagram of a motor control system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the inverter circuit of the motor control system includes a U-phase bridge arm, a V-phase bridge arm, and a W-phase bridge arm ( Figure 1 only the U-phase bridge arm is shown), the U-phase bridge arm includes an upper bridge switch tube M 1 , a lower bridge switch tube M 2 , an upper bridge switch tube drive circuit, a lower bridge switch tube drive circuit, a voltage sampling circuit, a bootstrap circuit, a drive power supply ( Figure 1 the drive power supply of the lower bridge switch tube M 2 is shown, and the voltage is V CC ), and an impedance Z HV that does not include the three-phase inverter bridge part in the motor control system. The two ends of the inverter circuit are connected to a high-voltage DC bus HV. A diode D 1 is connected in parallel corresponding to the upper bridge switch tube M M1 , and a diode D 2 is connected in parallel corresponding to the lower bridge switch tube M M2。The upper-bridge switch tube driving circuit can adopt a high-side driving chip, and the lower-bridge switch tube driving circuit can adopt a low-side driving chip; the voltage sampling circuit is connected in parallel with the lower arm of phase U and can include sampling resistors R S1 and R S2 ( Figure 1 not shown in the figure), and the total impedance is denoted as Z S . Among them, diode D M1 and diode D M2 can both be freewheeling diodes or body diodes.

[0032] In this embodiment, the voltage sampling circuit is used to collect the phase voltage sampling value. The driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube M 2 also has the function of charging the driving power supply of the upper-bridge switch tube M 1 through a bootstrap circuit. The driving power supply of the upper-bridge switch tube M 1 can be a capacitor. In addition, the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube M 2 can also directly or indirectly supply power to the voltage sampling circuit. When the power is normally applied at low voltage and the external communication is normal, the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube M 2 can work and does not depend on high voltage.

[0033] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for detecting the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the method for detecting the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system according to the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the compressor of a vehicle.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the method for detecting the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system can include:

[0035] S110, obtaining the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states.

[0036] Specifically, the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system can include the state when the motor control system is not connected to the high-voltage DC bus (denoted as the state of not connected to high voltage), the state when it is connected to the high-voltage DC bus but not powered on (denoted as the state of connected to high voltage and not powered on), and the state when it is connected to the high-voltage DC bus and powered on (denoted as the state of connected to high voltage and powered on). Among them, different connection states correspond to different phase voltage sampling values.

[0037] As an implementation method, when the connection state of the high-voltage power supply and the high-voltage power on and off are both normal, the motor control system can be pre-set in different connection states, and then the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states can be obtained. Among them, when obtaining the phase voltage sampling value, the voltage sampling circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used to obtain the phase voltage sampling value.

[0038] As another implementation, a physical analysis can be performed on the equivalent circuit of the motor control system in different connection states and obtained through mathematical calculations.

[0039] In this implementation, before obtaining the phase voltage sampling values in different connection states, it is necessary to know the equivalent circuit diagrams corresponding to each connection state, as well as the electrical properties of each electronic component in the equivalent circuit diagrams, such as resistance values, capacitance values, etc.

[0040] Specifically, the electrical properties of each electronic component can be obtained by querying the model numbers of the individual electronic components. Or, during use, in the case of losses in each electronic component, its standard properties are no longer accurate, and the actual electrical properties of the electronic components can be obtained by designing a simple detection circuit. Then, according to the connection relationships of the electronic components in each equivalent circuit in different connection states, the phase voltage acquisition values of the motor control system in different connection states are obtained through circuit analysis and mathematical calculations.

[0041] Specifically, when the connection state of the motor control system is the state of not being connected to the high voltage, Figure 1 The simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as Figure 3 shown. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 , when the motor control system is not connected to the high-voltage DC bus and not powered on, the current starts from the positive pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D M2 , and first flows through the bootstrap circuit (including the current-limiting resistor R B and the bootstrap diode D B , with an impedance of Z B ), then reaches point U, and flows in two different branches from point U. Among them, after one branch of the current passes through point U, it passes through the freewheeling diode D M1 of the upper arm of the U-phase, and then flows into the negative pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D HV through the impedance Z M2 ; the other branch of the current passes through point U and then flows into the negative pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D M2 through the voltage sampling circuit. When the motor control system is in the state of not being connected to the high voltage, the phase voltage sampling value at point U can be calculated by the following formula (1):

[0042]

[0043] where, V U #1 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of not being connected to the high voltage, V CC is the driving power supply voltage of the bridge arm switch tube in the inverter circuit of the motor control system, V DB is the voltage across the bootstrap diode in the bootstrap circuit of the motor control system, ZB is the total impedance of the bootstrap circuit, V DM is the voltage across the diode connected in parallel with the leg switch, Z HV is the impedance of the motor control system excluding the leg part, Z S is the total impedance of the voltage sampling circuit for obtaining the phase voltage sampling value.

[0044] When the motor control system is in the state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, Figure 1 the simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as shown in Figure 4 See Figure 1 , Figure 4 When the motor control system is in the state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, compared with the above state of not being connected to high voltage, the external impedance Z EX of the high-voltage DC bus will be increased. At this time, when the motor control system is in the state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, the phase voltage sampling value at point U can be calculated by the following formula (2):

[0045]

[0046] where, V U #2 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, Z EX is the external impedance of the high-voltage DC bus of the motor control system.

[0047] When the motor control system is in the state of being connected to high voltage and powered on, Figure 1 the simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as shown in Figure 5 See Figure 1 , Figure 5 When the motor control system is in the state of being connected to high voltage and powered on, compared with the above state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, the diode D M1 is turned off, generating an impedance Z DM between phase U and the high-voltage DC bus. At this time, the phase voltage sampling value at point U can be calculated by the following formula (3):

[0048]

[0049] where, V U #3 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of being connected to high voltage and powered on, Z DM is the impedance between the corresponding phase (such as phase U) and the positive terminal of the high-voltage DC bus when the diode D M1 connected in parallel with the upper bridge switch in the leg is turned off.

[0050] Thus, by performing circuit analysis and mathematical calculations on the equivalent circuit diagrams of the motor control system in different connection states, the phase voltage sampling values in each connection state can be obtained. If the differences in the phase voltage sampling values in different states are small, the probability of false detection may increase. Therefore, by connecting impedances in series in different branches and adjusting the impedance values, the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states can be adjusted, and the phase voltage sampling values in each connection state can be enlarged, thereby realizing the self-checking function of the high-voltage power supply connection state of the motor control system and improving the detection accuracy.

[0051] S120. Determine a first detection threshold and a second detection threshold according to the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states.

[0052] Specifically, after obtaining the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states, a suitable detection threshold is found through the obtained phase voltage sampling values. The detection threshold can be a specific voltage value or an interval, which can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0053] As an example, when the detection threshold is a specific voltage value, the first detection threshold V th1 and the second detection threshold V th2 can be determined according to the following formula (4):

[0054]

[0055] where V U #1 is the phase voltage sampling value in the unconnected state, V U #2 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of being connected to high voltage but not powered on, and V U #3 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of being connected to high voltage and powered on.

[0056] For example, assume that the parameters of each device are: V CC = 16V, V DM = 0.4V, V DB = 0.5V, Z B = 67 kΩ, Z S = 504 kΩ, Z DM = 116 kΩ, Z EX = 1 MΩ. The calculated phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states are V U #3 = 12.9V, V U #2 = 9.2V, V U #1= 2.45V, the first detection threshold V can be selected according to actual requirements th1 is 8V, and the second detection threshold V th2 is 10V. Considering that the impedance of the high-voltage DC bus in the vehicle environment will change with different vehicles or different states of the in-vehicle high-voltage power supply and electrical equipment, the first detection threshold V th1 can be set close to V U #1 , for example, it can be selected as 7.5V, and the second detection threshold V th2 can be set close to V U #3 , for example, it can be selected as 10.5V.

[0057] S130, obtain the current phase voltage sampling value of the motor control system.

[0058] Specifically, the current phase voltage sampling value can be obtained through Figure 1 the phase voltage acquisition circuit shown.

[0059] S140, determine the high-voltage power supply connection state according to the relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold.

[0060] Specifically, after the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold are determined, they can be used as a reference. Then, when actually detecting the high-voltage power supply connection state, the current phase voltage sampling value is compared with the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold, and the high-voltage power supply connection state of the motor control system is determined according to the comparison result. Thus, without a physical high-voltage connector interlock, the connection state of the high-voltage connector can be checked by detecting the value of the phase voltage, that is, both functional safety inspection and cost reduction requirements can be achieved, and safety events caused by misoperation or other reasons can be avoided.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the high-voltage power supply connection state according to the relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold includes: when the motor control system is in a state of being connected to high voltage and not powered on, if the current phase voltage sampling value is greater than the first detection threshold, it is determined that the high-voltage harness and / or the high-voltage connector are loose; otherwise, it is determined that the high-voltage harness and the high-voltage connector are connected normally.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the high-voltage power supply connection state according to the relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold includes: when the motor control system is in a state of being connected to high voltage and powered on, if the current phase voltage sampling value is between the second detection threshold and the drive power supply voltage, and the bus voltage of the motor control system is within a preset voltage range, it is determined that the high-voltage harness and the high-voltage connector are connected normally; otherwise, it is determined that the power-on of the motor control system is abnormal.

[0063] Specifically, when detecting the high-voltage power supply connection state of the motor control system, the motor control system needs to be in a high-voltage connection state. The high-voltage power supply connection state can be detected when the motor control system is not powered on, or when the motor control system is powered on.

[0064] Specifically, before the motor control system is powered on with high voltage, phase voltage sampling is performed to obtain the current phase voltage sampling value. If the current phase voltage sampling value is between 0 and the first detection threshold, it is considered that the high-voltage connector and the wiring harness are normally connected; if the current phase voltage sampling value is greater than the first detection threshold (such as 7.5V), it is considered that the high-voltage connector or the wiring harness is loose. At this time, the communication module of the inverter can feedback the detected state of the high-voltage connector or the wiring harness through low-voltage communication, such as displaying corresponding reminder information on the on-vehicle terminal display screen of the vehicle, to remind that when the high-voltage connector or the wiring harness is loose, the high-voltage power-on operation is not performed to avoid hazards.

[0065] After the motor control system is powered on with high voltage, phase voltage sampling and high-voltage DC bus voltage sampling are performed to obtain the current phase voltage sampling value and the high-voltage bus voltage. If the high-voltage bus voltage is normal, such as within a preset voltage range, and the current phase voltage sampling value is between the second detection threshold (such as 10.5V) and the drive power supply voltage V CC then it is considered that the high-voltage power-on is normal and the high-voltage wiring harness and the high-voltage connector are normally connected; otherwise, it is considered that the high-voltage power-on is abnormal. At this time, the communication module of the inverter can feedback the abnormal state through low-voltage communication, such as displaying corresponding reminder information on the on-vehicle terminal display screen of the vehicle, to remind to stop the power-on in time to avoid hazards.

[0066] In summary, for the high-voltage power supply connection state detection method of the motor control system in the embodiment of the present application, by obtaining different phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in various connection states, and determining the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold according to the sampling values of the phase voltage of the motor system in different connection states, and then obtaining the current voltage sampling value of the motor control system, and according to the magnitude comparison relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold, the current high-voltage power supply connection relationship can be obtained. Thus, the detection efficiency of the high-voltage power supply connection state of the motor control system can be improved, and the occurrence of safety accidents can be avoided. And, by simplifying the circuit diagram of the vehicle compressor inverter, the equivalent circuit diagram of the motor control system in different connection states is obtained, and the phase voltage sampling values in the above different connection states are obtained through circuit analysis and mathematical calculations, saving hardware resources, reducing the detection cost, and simplifying the detection process.

[0067] To implement the above embodiments, the present application also provides a motor controller, which includes a memory, a processor, and a high-voltage power supply connection state detection program of the motor control system stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the high-voltage power supply connection state detection program of the motor control system, the high-voltage power supply connection state detection method of the motor control system according to the above embodiments of the present application is implemented.

[0068] To implement the above embodiments, the present application also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a high-voltage power supply connection state detection program of the motor control system is stored. When the high-voltage power supply connection state detection program of the motor control system is executed by a processor, the high-voltage power supply connection state detection method of the motor control system according to the above embodiments of the present application is implemented.

[0069] To implement the high-voltage power supply connection state detection method of the motor control system provided in the above embodiments, the present application also provides a motor control system.

[0070] Figure 6 It is a structural diagram of the motor control system of the present application.

[0071] As Figure 6 shown, the motor control system 600 includes an inverter circuit 610, a drive circuit 620, a voltage sampling circuit 630, and a control unit 640.

[0072] Among them, the inverter circuit 610 is used to convert direct current into alternating current to supply power to the compressor of the vehicle. The drive circuit 620 is used to drive the on or off of the switching tubes in the inverter circuit 610, for example, by outputting a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drive signal to drive each switching tube. The voltage sampling circuit 630 is used to sample the voltage across the lower-bridge switching tubes of the inverter circuit 610 to obtain the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states. The control unit 640 is used to determine a first detection threshold and a second detection threshold according to the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states, obtain the current phase voltage sampling value of the motor control system through the voltage sampling circuit, and determine the high-voltage power supply connection state according to the relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold.

[0073] In this embodiment, the switching device in the inverter circuit 610 can be a MOS transistor (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), or an IGBT transistor (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). The switching device can be paralleled with a diode, such as a freewheeling diode or a body diode. The drive circuit 620 can include a drive power supply. The drive power supply is used to supply power to the drive circuit, can be used as the drive power supply for the switching device in the inverter circuit 610, and can also directly or indirectly supply power to the voltage sampling circuit. When the power is normally applied at low voltage and the external communication is normal, the drive power supply can be directly established without relying on high voltage electricity.

[0074] Specifically, the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system in different connection states can be obtained in advance through experiments or circuit analysis of the motor control system. Then, the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold can be determined according to the phase voltage sampling values. After the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold are determined, they can be used as a reference. Then, when actually detecting the connection state of the high-voltage power supply, the current phase voltage sampling value is compared with the first detection threshold and the second detection threshold, and the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system is determined according to the comparison result. Thus, without a physical high-voltage connector interlock, the connection state of the high-voltage connector can be checked by detecting the value of the phase voltage, that is, both functional safety checks and cost reduction requirements can be achieved, and safety events caused by misoperation or other reasons can be avoided.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, a physical analysis can be performed on the equivalent circuit of the motor control system 600 in different connection states and obtained through mathematical calculations. Among them, the connection states of the motor control system 600 include the state of not connected to high voltage, the state of connected to high voltage and not powered on, and the state of connected to high voltage and powered on.

[0076] In this embodiment, before obtaining the phase voltage sampling values in different connection states, it is necessary to know the equivalent circuit diagrams corresponding to each connection state and the electrical properties of each electronic component in the equivalent circuit diagrams, such as resistance values, capacitance values, etc.

[0077] Specifically, the electrical properties of each electronic component can be obtained by querying the model of each electronic component. Or, during use, when there are losses in each electronic component and its standard properties are no longer accurate, the actual electrical properties of the electronic components can be obtained by designing a simple detection circuit. Then, according to the connection relationships of the electronic components in each equivalent circuit in different connection states, the phase voltage acquisition values of the motor control system 600 in different connection states are obtained through circuit analysis and mathematical calculations.

[0078] Specifically, when the connection state of the motor control system 600 is in the unconnected high-voltage state, Figure 1 The simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as Figure 3 shown. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , when the motor control system 600 is not connected to the high-voltage DC bus and not powered on, the current starts from the positive pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D M2 and first flows through the bootstrap circuit (including the current-limiting resistor R B and the bootstrap diode D B , with an impedance of Z B ), then reaches point U and flows in two different branches from point U. Among them, one branch of the current, after passing through point U, passes through the freewheeling diode D M1 of the upper arm of phase U, then passes through the impedance Z HV and flows into the negative pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D M2 ; the other branch of the current, after passing through point U, flows into the negative pole of the driving power supply of the lower-bridge switch tube D M2 through the voltage sampling circuit. When the motor control system 600 is in the unconnected high-voltage state, the sampled value of the phase voltage at point U can be calculated by the following formula (1):

[0079]

[0080] where, V U #1 is the sampled value of the phase voltage in the unconnected high-voltage state, V CC is the driving power supply voltage of the bridge arm switch tube in the inverter circuit of the motor control system 600, V DB is the voltage across the bootstrap diode in the bootstrap circuit of the motor control system 600, Z B is the total impedance of the bootstrap circuit, V DM is the voltage across the diode in parallel with the bridge arm switch tube, Z HV is the impedance of the motor control system 600 excluding the bridge arm part, Z S is the total impedance of the voltage sampling circuit 630 for obtaining the sampled value of the phase voltage.

[0081] When the motor control system 600 is in the connected high-voltage and unpowered state, Figure 1 The simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as Figure 4 shown. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , when the motor control system 600 is in the connected high-voltage and unpowered state, compared with the above unconnected high-voltage state, the external impedance Z EX of the high-voltage DC bus will be increased. At this time, when the motor control system 600 is in the connected high-voltage and unpowered state, the sampled value of the phase voltage at point U can be calculated by the following formula (2):

[0082]

[0083] Among them, V U #2 is the phase voltage sampling value under the condition of connecting high voltage and not powered on, and Z EX is the external impedance of the high-voltage DC bus of the motor control system 600.

[0084] When the motor control system 600 is in the state of connecting high voltage and powered on, Figure 1 the simplified equivalent circuit diagram is as shown in Figure 5 . Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 . When the motor control system 600 is in the state of connecting high voltage and powered on, compared with the above state of connecting high voltage and not powered on, the diode D M1 is cut off, generating an impedance Z DM between phase U and the high-voltage DC bus. At this time, the phase voltage sampling value at point U can be calculated by the following formula (3):

[0085]

[0086] Among them, V U #3 is the phase voltage sampling value under the condition of connecting high voltage and powered on, and Z DM is the impedance between the corresponding phase (such as phase U) and the positive terminal of the high-voltage DC bus when the diode D M1 in the bridge arm in parallel with the upper bridge switch tube is cut off.

[0087] Thus, by performing circuit analysis and mathematical calculations on the equivalent circuit diagrams of the motor control system 600 in different connection states, the phase voltage sampling values in each connection state can be obtained. If the differences in the phase voltage sampling values in different states are small, the probability of misdetection may increase. Therefore, by connecting impedances in series in different branches and adjusting the magnitudes of the impedances to adjust the magnitudes of the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system 600 in different connection states, the phase voltage sampling values in each connection state can be enlarged, thereby realizing the self-check function of the high-voltage power supply connection state of the motor control system 600 and improving the detection accuracy.

[0088] Furthermore, after obtaining the phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system 600 in different connection states, the control unit 640 can determine a first detection threshold and a second detection threshold according to the phase voltage sampling values. As an example, the detection threshold is a specific voltage value, and the first detection threshold V th1 and the second detection threshold V th2 can be determined according to the following formula (4):

[0089]

[0090] Among them, V U #1 is the phase voltage sampling value in the unconnected state, V U #2 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of connecting to high voltage and not powered on, V U #3 is the phase voltage sampling value in the state of connecting to high voltage and powered on.

[0091] For example, assume that the parameters of each device are: V CC = 16V, V DM = 0.4V, V DB = 0.5V, Z B = 67 kΩ, Z S = 504 kΩ, Z DM = 116 kΩ, Z EX = 1 MΩ. The calculated phase voltage sampling values of the motor control system 600 in different connection states are V U #3 = 12.9V, V U #2 = 9.2V, V U #1 = 2.45V. Then, the first detection threshold V th1 can be selected as 8V according to actual requirements, and the second detection threshold V th2 is 10V. Considering that the impedance of the high-voltage DC bus in the vehicle environment will change with different vehicles or different states of the in-vehicle high-voltage power supply and electrical equipment, the first detection threshold V th1 can be set close to V U #1 , for example, it can be selected as 7.5V, and the second detection threshold V th2 is close to V U #3 , for example, it can be selected as 10.5V.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the control unit 640 is further configured to:

[0093] When the motor control system 600 is in the state of connecting to high voltage and not powered on, if the current phase voltage sampling value is greater than the first detection threshold, it is determined that there is a loose fault in the high-voltage harness and / or high-voltage connector; otherwise, it is determined that the high-voltage harness and the high-voltage connector are normally connected; and

[0094] When the motor control system 600 is in a state of being connected to high voltage and powered on, if the current phase voltage sampling value is between the second detection threshold and the drive power supply voltage, and the bus voltage of the motor control system 600 is within a preset voltage range, it is determined that the high-voltage harness and the high-voltage connector are connected normally; otherwise, it is determined that the power-on of the motor control system 600 is abnormal.

[0095] Specifically, when detecting the connection state of the high-voltage power supply of the motor control system 600, the motor control system 600 needs to be in a high-voltage connection state. The connection state of the high-voltage power supply can be detected when the motor control system 600 is not powered on, or the connection state of the high-voltage power supply can be detected when the motor control system 600 is powered on.

[0096] Specifically, before the motor control system 600 is powered on with high voltage, the control unit 640 samples the phase voltage through the voltage sampling circuit 630 to obtain the current phase voltage sampling value. If the current phase voltage sampling value is between 0 and the first detection threshold, it is considered that the high-voltage connector and the harness are connected normally; if the current phase voltage sampling value is greater than the first detection threshold (such as 7.5V), it is considered that the high-voltage connector or the harness is loose. At this time, the control unit 640 can externally feedback the detected state of the high-voltage connector or the harness through low-voltage communication, such as displaying corresponding reminder information on the on-vehicle terminal display screen of the vehicle, to remind that when the high-voltage connector or the harness is loose, the operation of high-voltage power-on is not performed to avoid hazards.

[0097] After the motor control system 600 is powered on with high voltage, the control unit 640 samples the phase voltage through the voltage sampling circuit 630, and can also sample the high-voltage DC bus voltage to obtain the current phase voltage sampling value and the high-voltage bus voltage. If the high-voltage bus voltage is normal, such as within a preset voltage range, and the current phase voltage sampling value is between the second detection threshold (such as 10.5V) and the drive power supply voltage V CC then it is considered that the high-voltage power-on is normal, and the high-voltage harness and the high-voltage connector are connected normally; otherwise, it is considered that the high-voltage power-on is abnormal. At this time, the control unit 640 can externally feedback the abnormal state through low-voltage communication, such as displaying corresponding reminder information on the on-vehicle terminal display screen of the vehicle, to remind to stop power-on in time to avoid hazards.

[0098] According to the motor control system provided in this embodiment, by obtaining the phase voltage sampling value of the motor control system in different connection states, and determining appropriate first and second detection thresholds according to different states of the vehicle, the phase voltage sampling value of the motor control system in the current state is obtained through the voltage sampling circuit, so as to determine the connection state of the high-voltage power supply according to the magnitude relationship between the current phase voltage sampling value and the first and second detection thresholds. The detection of the connection state of the high-voltage power supply can be realized through a simple circuit, which improves the detection efficiency and saves hardware resources.
