[0028] The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosed technology or its application and use. Furthermore, it is not intended to be bound by any express or implied theory presented in the foregoing technical fields, background art, or the following detailed description.

[0029] In the following detailed description of the embodiments, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the disclosed technology. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the disclosed technology can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the description.

[0030] Terms such as “comprising” and “including” indicate that, in addition to the units and steps that are directly and explicitly stated in the specification, the technical solution of the present invention does not exclude the presence of other units and steps that are not directly or explicitly stated.

[0031] In the following, various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a vehicle voltage conversion system 100, including a vehicle voltage conversion controller, according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. The voltage conversion system 100 is connected to a power battery and includes a charging port 110, a three-phase motor 120, a motor drive control circuit 130, and a vehicle voltage conversion controller 140. The voltage conversion system 100 utilizes the vehicle's own motor drive control circuit 130 to convert external electrical energy supplied through the vehicle's charging port 110 into a form suitable for charging the power battery, or to convert the output voltage from the power battery for output.

[0033] exist Figure 1 In this circuit, the motor drive control circuit 130 is connected to the two terminals of the vehicle's power battery and includes three switch arms and six corresponding switch modules (Q1-Q6). Each switch arm consists of two switch modules connected in series. The midpoint of each switch arm is connected to the first output port of the charging port 110 via a winding. The second output port of the charging port 110 is connected to one terminal (e.g., the negative terminal) of the power battery. A capacitor can be connected in parallel with the power battery. It is understood that... Figure 1 The connection of the power battery, motor drive circuit, and windings (represented by inductance symbols) are all conventional circuit designs and configurations for electric vehicle drive motors in this field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] However, as Figure 1 As shown, in terms of circuit structure, this application further connects the first output port of the charging port to the other end of each phase winding, so that the first output port is connected to the midpoint of the switch bridge arm corresponding to each winding via each winding of the motor. That is, the same end of the three windings is connected and together connected to the first output port of the charging port. This circuit structure can make greater use of the winding inductance for voltage transformation, and the first output port is connected to the same end of each phase winding, which also benefits from the hardware layout of the vehicle's electric drive, eliminating the need for complex circuit design to connect to the other end of each winding through the winding housing or barrier plate (i.e., Figure 1 (The left end of each inductor symbol in the diagram). Furthermore, this application eliminates the need for a separate switch for winding selection; the switch within the motor drive circuit itself can be used.

[0035] Specifically, the charging port 110 includes a first output terminal and a second output terminal for providing electrical energy input from, for example, an external charging pile. The first output terminal of the charging port 110 is connected to the midpoint of each switch arm of the motor drive control circuit 130 corresponding to each phase. That is, the first output terminal is connected to the midpoint of the switch arm of each phase of the motor drive control circuit, and the winding of the corresponding phase of the motor 120 is connected to the connection line between the midpoint of the switch arm of each phase and the first input terminal of the charging port 110. In addition to the above connection with the charging port 110, the two input terminals of the motor drive control circuit 130 are connected to the two terminals of the power battery to obtain power from the vehicle power battery under normal driving scenarios and thus drive the three-phase motor. The vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 is connected to the motor drive control circuit 130 and provides it with control signals for each switch. The vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 selects and activates the corresponding two switch arms in the motor drive control circuit 130 according to the detected current rotor position angle of the motor 120 to perform voltage conversion control from the charging port 110 to the two terminals of the power battery. For example, after the vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 receives the rotor position angle of the motor detected by the vehicle motor rotor detection device, it selects the switching action of the switching bridge arm of the two-phase winding according to the magnitude of the rotor position angle (for example, turning on the control switch of the motor drive control circuit for the two-phase winding and turning off the switch of the other phase) to enable the two switching bridge arms to perform voltage conversion, wherein the switching action includes turning on the switch and turning off the switch.

[0036] exist Figure 2 This diagram illustrates an example correspondence between rotor position angle and winding selection according to one or more embodiments of this application, wherein a three-phase motor includes, for example, three-phase windings A / B / C. For example, with the magnetic field direction of the motor's A-phase winding at 0°, and rotating counterclockwise one revolution, sector 1 is defined as the range from 330° to 30°, and sectors 1 through 6 are named sequentially counterclockwise. Therefore, for example, when the motor rotor position angle θ is within sector 1, phase B and phase C windings are selected for voltage transformation. Thus, based on the currently detected rotor position angle, it can be determined which two switching arms (and corresponding windings) should be activated to operate the corresponding two-phase windings while the other phase winding remains inactive. This winding selection ensures that the combined magnetic field direction generated by the selected two sets of windings is approximately concentrated on the motor's quadrature axis (q-axis). It is understood that the above sector division is merely exemplary, and different sector sizes and angle division methods can be designed based on the criterion that the combined magnetic field direction generated by the selected two sets of windings is approximately concentrated on the motor's quadrature axis. For example, Figure 3As shown, the relationship between the corresponding rotor position angle θ (radians or electrical angles, within 2π) and the self-inductance LA(θ), LB(θ), and LC(θ) of the three-phase windings is illustrated. Based on the change of self-inductance with rotor position angle, six sectors can be divided. In each sector, the self-inductance values ​​of two corresponding phase windings are always greater than those of the remaining phase winding.

[0037] By controlling the vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 as described above, the vehicle's own motor drive control circuit 130 can be used for voltage conversion, making the external electrical energy voltage suitable for charging the power battery. This saves the need for additional voltage conversion modules / equipment, and since the inductance is generated by the winding itself, the hardware size and weight of the vehicle control system are further reduced. More importantly, the vehicle voltage conversion controller 130 in this application only selects two-phase windings and the corresponding switching module for electrical energy voltage conversion, thus saving the use and loss of one winding. In addition, the sector division and winding selection also take into account the magnetic field direction and the motor axis, effectively reducing or eliminating the generation of additional torque and improving the safety of the voltage conversion process.

[0038] Preferably, each switch module can also be as follows: Figure 1 The diode is connected in parallel as shown. That is, each switch arm can include two switch modules connected in series, and each switch module includes a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) switch and a diode connected in parallel. The vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 is also configured to control the switch control signal of the MOSFET switch to determine one of the MOSFET switch and diode for turning on the switch module. Thus, the switch control signal can be determined as needed; for example, in Q1, the MOSFET can be turned on while the diode is turned off, or the diode can be turned on while the MOSFET is turned off, with the former using the MOSFET channel for conduction resulting in less circuit loss. It is understood that this application is not limited to using MOSFET switches, but other types of controlled switches (such as IGBTs) are also possible.

[0039] After receiving the current rotor position angle of the motor, the vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 selects the corresponding two-phase windings according to the referenced sector correspondence and controls the switching of the switching bridge arms of these two-phase windings. Figure 2 Taking sector 3 (selecting phases A and C windings) as an example, then... Figure 1In this circuit, switches Q3 and Q4 corresponding to the B-phase winding are kept open, and for example, Q1 and Q5 are turned on while Q2 and Q6 are turned off (or connected to the other terminal of the power battery relative to the second output terminal of the charging port, so that Q1 and Q5 are turned off while Q2 and Q6 are turned on). Thus, the inductance generated by the AC-phase switch bridge arm of the motor drive control circuit and the corresponding winding can be used to form a voltage conversion module (e.g., a parallel interleaved Boost converter or Buck converter) to achieve the function of boosting or bucking voltage.

[0040] In some embodiments, the vehicle voltage conversion controller is further configured to distribute the current of the selected two-phase windings according to the rotor position angle, such that the flux linkage formed by the two-phase windings during voltage conversion has no direct-axis (d-axis) component perpendicular to the rotor flux linkage direction of the motor. Specifically, after the two-phase windings for voltage conversion have been selected, the generation of unwanted torque can be greatly reduced or eliminated. This application can further determine the current distribution between the selected two-phase windings according to the specific magnitude of the detected current rotor position angle, such that the flux linkage formed by the two-phase windings has no direct-axis (d-axis) component perpendicular to the rotor flux linkage direction of the motor, and the AC magnetic field (or AC ripple current) is on the q-axis to reduce rotor losses, while the DC magnetic field (or DC current) synthesized by the two phases is on the d-axis, thereby achieving zero torque output of the motor based on the vehicle boost charging process using multiplexed motor windings. In addition, since the AC component in the charging current is the source of eddy current loss of the motor rotor magnet during the charging process, and the q-axis inductance of the synchronous motor is small, applying the AC component in the charging current to the q-axis is beneficial to reduce eddy current loss and improve charging efficiency and safety.

[0041] In terms of specific allocation methods, corresponding to Figure 2 sector division, Figure 4A This example illustrates the two-phase winding current distribution used in sector 3 (sectors 1 and 5 are similar), where the magnetic field directions of the two phases AC are as shown by the magnetic flux linkage Ψ. AN and Ψ CN As indicated by the bold arrow, the resulting magnetic field, synthesized through trigonometric functions, is concentrated along the direct axis (d-axis) and in opposite directions. Furthermore, Figure 4B The diagram shows the two-phase winding current distribution used in sector 2 (sectors 2 and 4 are similar), where the magnetic field directions of phases A and B are as shown by the magnetic flux linkage Ψ. AN and Ψ BN As shown by the bold arrow, the magnetic field synthesized by trigonometric functions is concentrated on the direct axis (d-axis) and has the same direction.

[0042] In other embodiments, the current distribution can be based on the rotor position angle, such that the magnitude of the direct-axis component of the current vector formed by the two-phase windings during voltage transformation is equal to the magnitude of the flux linkage of the motor's permanent magnets divided by the difference between the motor's direct-axis and quadrature-axis inductances. This allows for effective current distribution in charging scenarios with large charging currents, achieving zero-torque output from the motor.

[0043] In some embodiments, the vehicle voltage conversion controller is further configured to interleave control signals that actuate the switching arms of the two-phase windings, such that the two switching arms are alternately turned on and off. For example, as Figure 5 The two-phase windings shown correspond to the operating signal waveforms of the switching module. Figure 2 or Figure 3 Taking sector 3 as an example, the operating signals of the AC two-phase winding switching modules (i.e., Q1 and Q5) are kept phase-interleaved (e.g., interleaved by 180°, but it is understood that other phase values ​​that can be interleaved are also included). In this way, the eddy current loss of the winding magnet can be significantly reduced, and the influence of input and output ripple can be reduced to a greater extent.

[0044] exist Figure 6 The diagram shows the distribution of current vectors IA(dc), IA(ac), IB(ac), and IB(dc) when the d-axis is 0° and 60°. It can be seen that the AC current vector I∑(ac) of the two-phase windings is concentrated along the q-axis, while the DC current vector I∑(dc) is located along the d-axis. This significantly reduces eddy current losses in the winding magnets and minimizes the impact of input and output ripple.

[0045] According to another aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided. The vehicle may include a vehicle voltage conversion system or a vehicle voltage conversion controller as described in any of the embodiments above. The term "vehicle" as used in this application is intended to refer to any suitable vehicle having a drive system, such as a hybrid electric vehicle, an electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and the like.

[0046] Figure 7 A flowchart of a voltage transformation control method 700 according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. The method 700 includes the following steps:

[0047] S1: Receive the detected rotor position angle of the vehicle's motor, which can be the current rotor position angle of the motor detected by the vehicle motor rotor detection device received by the controller.

[0048] S2: Based on the rotor position angle, the two phase windings with the larger inductance value among the three phase windings of the motor are selected by controlling the switching action of the switching bridge arm of the motor drive control circuit to perform voltage conversion between the vehicle's charging port and the power battery. For example, after the vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 receives the rotor position angle of the motor detected by the vehicle motor rotor detection device, it selects the switching action of the switching bridge arm of the two phase windings according to the magnitude of the rotor position angle (e.g., turning on the control switch of the motor drive control circuit for the two phase windings and turning off the switch of the other phase) to enable the two switching bridge arms to perform voltage conversion, wherein the switching action includes turning on the switch and turning off the switch. Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the example correspondence between the rotor position angle and the winding selection.

[0049] Through the above control steps, the vehicle's own motor drive control circuit can be used for voltage conversion, making the external electrical energy voltage suitable for charging the power battery. This saves on the need for additional voltage conversion modules / equipment, and since the inductance is generated by the winding itself, the hardware size and weight of the vehicle control system are further reduced. More importantly, the vehicle voltage conversion controller in this application only selects two-phase windings and the corresponding switching module for electrical energy voltage conversion, thus saving the use and loss of one winding. In addition, the sector division and winding selection also take into account the magnetic field direction and the motor axis, effectively reducing or eliminating the generation of additional torque and improving the safety of the voltage conversion process.

[0050] Preferably, each switching module of the motor drive control circuit can also be as follows: Figure 1 The diode is connected in parallel as shown. That is, each switch bridge arm may include two switch modules connected in series, and each switch module includes a MOSFET switch and a diode connected in parallel. The vehicle voltage conversion controller 140 is also configured to control the switching control signal of the MOSFET switch to determine one of the MOSFET switch and diode for turning on the switch module. Thus, the switch control signal can be determined as needed; for example, in Q1, it is possible to select to turn on the MOSFET and turn off the diode, or to select to turn on the diode and turn off the MOSFET, with the former utilizing the MOSFET channel for conduction resulting in less circuit loss.

[0051] After receiving the current rotor position angle of the motor, the corresponding two-phase winding is selected according to the referenced sector correspondence, and the switching of the switching bridge arm of the two-phase winding is controlled. Figure 2 Taking sector 3 (selecting phases A and C windings) as an example, then... Figure 1In this circuit, switches Q3 and Q4 corresponding to the B-phase winding are kept open, and for example, Q1 and Q5 are turned on while Q2 and Q6 are turned off (or connected to the other terminal of the power battery relative to the second output terminal of the charging port, so that Q1 and Q5 are turned off while Q2 and Q6 are turned on). Thus, the inductance generated by the AC-phase switch bridge arm of the motor drive control circuit and the corresponding winding can be used to form a voltage conversion module (e.g., a parallel interleaved Boost converter or Buck converter) to achieve the function of boosting or bucking voltage.

[0052] In some embodiments, this control method can also allocate the current of the selected two-phase windings according to the rotor position angle, so that the flux linkage formed by the two-phase windings during voltage transformation does not have a direct-axis (d-axis) component perpendicular to the rotor flux linkage direction of the motor. Specifically, after selecting the two-phase windings for voltage transformation, the generation of unwanted torque can be greatly reduced or eliminated. This application can further determine the current allocation between the selected two-phase windings according to the specific magnitude of the detected current rotor position angle, so that the flux linkage formed by the two-phase windings does not have a direct-axis (d-axis) component perpendicular to the rotor flux linkage direction of the motor, and the AC magnetic field (or AC ripple current) is on the q-axis to reduce rotor losses, while the DC magnetic field (or DC current) synthesized by the two phases is on the d-axis, thereby achieving zero torque output of the motor based on the vehicle boost charging process using multiplexed motor windings. In addition, since the AC component in the charging current is the source of eddy current losses in the motor rotor magnets during charging, and the q-axis inductance of the synchronous motor is small, applying the AC component in the charging current to the q-axis is beneficial to reduce eddy current losses and improve charging efficiency.

[0053] In other embodiments, the current distribution in this control method can also be based on the rotor position angle, such that the magnitude of the direct-axis component of the current vector formed by the two-phase windings during voltage transformation is equal to the magnitude of the flux linkage of the motor's permanent magnets divided by the difference between the motor's direct-axis and quadrature-axis inductances. This allows for effective current distribution in charging scenarios with large charging currents, achieving zero-torque output from the motor.

[0054] In some embodiments, the control method further includes control signals that cause the switching arms of the two-phase winding to switch out of phase with each other, for example, such as... Figure 5 The selected two-phase windings correspond to the operating signal waveforms of the switching module shown. This significantly reduces eddy current losses in the winding magnets and further minimizes the impact of input / output ripple.
