DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of this application is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a discharge circuit and discharge control method for a motor controller, so as to solve the problem that the discharge circuit of the existing motor controller cannot send a discharge signal through the main control module to quickly discharge the bus capacitor voltage when the whole vehicle collides.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] See also Figure 1 -3. An embodiment of the present application provides a discharge circuit of a motor controller, including a bus capacitor 1, an active discharge resistor circuit 2, an electric drive system loop 3, a signal processing module 4 and a main control module 7.

[0030] The active discharge resistance circuit 2 is connected in parallel to both ends of the bus capacitor 1, the electric drive system loop 3 is connected in parallel to both ends of the bus capacitor 1, and the output end of the electric drive system loop 3 is connected to the load to drive the load to work or stop.

[0031] The signal processing module 4 is connected to the active discharge resistance circuit 2 and is used to collect the vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal, and output a discharge signal to the active discharge resistance circuit 2 when the vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal are collected.

[0032] The main control module 7 is connected to the signal processing module 4, the active discharge resistor circuit 2, and the electric drive system circuit 3 to receive the vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal. It is configured to output a discharge signal to the electric drive system circuit 3 when the driver chip fault signal is not received, and to output a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2 when the driver chip fault signal is received and the vehicle collision signal is not received. The main control module 7 may include an MCU (microprocessor).

[0033] In the above embodiment, the driver chip fault signal is used to indicate a power device fault, i.e., a fault in the electric drive system circuit. For example, when a low-level signal is received, it can be considered that a driver chip fault signal has been received. Similarly, when there is no fault, a high-level signal is received.

[0034] The vehicle collision signal is used to indicate that a collision has occurred in the vehicle. In one embodiment, the vehicle collision signal can be represented by a low level signal and a high level signal can be used to represent no fault.

[0035] It should be noted that the selection of a high-level signal or a low-level signal as the driver chip fault signal or the vehicle collision signal can be made according to actual needs.

[0036] By connecting the signal processing module 4 to the active discharge resistance circuit 2, the embodiment of the present application can realize that when the whole vehicle collides or the electric drive system circuit fails, that is, when the signal processing module 4 collects the whole vehicle collision signal and the drive chip fault signal, there is no need to control the active discharge resistance circuit 2 to be turned on or off through the main control module 7. Instead, the active discharge resistance circuit 2 is turned on or off by directly outputting a discharge signal to the active discharge resistance circuit 2 through the signal processing module 4, thereby realizing the rapid discharge of the bus capacitor 1 voltage, solving the problem that the bus capacitor 1 voltage cannot be discharged quickly after the whole vehicle collision, and ensuring the reliability of the vehicle's active discharge and the safety of the whole vehicle.

[0037] At the same time, when the signal processing module 4 does not collect the driver chip fault signal, the main control module 7 controls the electric drive system circuit 3 to discharge. When the signal acquisition unit 41 collects the driver chip fault signal but does not collect the vehicle collision signal, the main control module 7 controls the active discharge resistor circuit 2 to discharge.

[0038] In one embodiment, the discharge circuit further includes an external power supply 6, and both ends of the bus capacitor 1 are connected in parallel to the external power supply 6 to ensure that the motor controller can achieve rapid discharge when power is cut off, thereby protecting the safety of the circuit and electronic equipment.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the signal processing module 4 includes a signal acquisition unit 41 and a logic operation circuit 42 connected to each other.

[0040] The signal acquisition unit 41 is connected to the main control module 7 and is used to collect vehicle collision signals and driver chip fault signals and send them to the main control module 7 .

[0041] An input end of the logic operation circuit 42 is connected to the signal acquisition unit 41 , and an output end of the logic operation circuit 42 is connected to the active discharge resistance circuit 2 .

[0042] The signal acquisition unit 41 transmits the collected signal to the logic operation circuit 42 , and the logic operation circuit 42 performs a logic operation on the collected signal and outputs a discharge signal to the active discharge resistance circuit 2 according to the result obtained after the logic operation.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the logic operation circuit 42 may be an OR gate circuit, which performs a logic operation according to the vehicle collision signal (eg, low level) and the driver chip fault signal (eg, low level) and outputs the result.

[0044] When the vehicle collision signal is a low-level signal and the driver chip fault signal is a low-level signal, the above two low-level signals are input into the OR gate in the logic operation circuit 42. After the OR gate receives the above two low-level signals, the output of the OR gate is 0, which can control the switching device of the active discharge resistor circuit 2 to be turned on, so that the active discharge resistor circuit 2 discharges the bus capacitor 1.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 3 , the active discharge resistor circuit 2 includes a switch device and an active discharge resistor R2 connected in series.

[0046] The switching device may be a first field effect transistor Q7.

[0047] The source of the first field-effect transistor Q7 is connected to the first input end of the electric drive system loop 3 and one end of the bus capacitor 1, and the gate of the first field-effect transistor Q7 is connected to the main control module 7 and the logic operation circuit 42. By controlling the conduction or shutdown of the first field-effect transistor Q7, the active discharge resistance circuit 2 is turned on or off.

[0048] The first field effect transistor Q7 may be an NMOS transistor, which is turned on when the logic operation circuit 42 outputs a low-level signal (ie, a discharge signal).

[0049] One end of the active discharge resistor R2 is connected to the drain of the first field effect transistor Q7 , and the other end of the active discharge resistor R2 is connected to the second input end of the electric drive system loop 3 and the other end of the bus capacitor 1 .

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown in FIG-3 , the electric drive system circuit 3 includes a drive motor 31 and three drive branches 32 .

[0051] Each driving branch 32 is connected in parallel across the bus capacitor and includes a second field effect transistor (FET) and a third field effect transistor (FET) connected in series. The second field effect transistor (Q1) is connected in series with the third field effect transistor (Q4), the second field effect transistor (Q2) is connected in series with the third field effect transistor (Q5), and the second field effect transistor (Q3) is connected in series with the third field effect transistor (Q6).

[0052] The gate of the second field effect transistor and the gate of the third field effect transistor of each driving branch 32 are connected to the main control module for receiving the discharge signal sent by the main control module; and the three input ends of the driving motor 31 are connected one by one to the drain of the second field effect transistor (Q1, Q2, Q3) of the three driving branches 32.

[0053] The discharge circuit also includes a passive discharge resistor circuit 5, which includes a passive discharge resistor R1. The passive discharge resistor R1 is connected in parallel at both ends of the bus capacitor 1. The natural discharge characteristics of the bus capacitor 1 are utilized to gradually release the voltage of the bus capacitor 1 to ensure that there will be no high voltage residual after the vehicle is powered off. The passive discharge resistor R1 can be selected with a larger resistance value.

[0054] An embodiment of the present application also provides a discharge control method, which can be applied to the discharge circuit of the above-mentioned motor controller, or to a vehicle that adopts the discharge circuit of the above-mentioned motor controller. The control method is used to obtain the vehicle collision signal and the drive chip fault signal, and according to the signal status of the vehicle collision signal and the drive chip fault signal, the discharge signal processing module 4 outputs a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2, or controls the main control module 7 to output a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2 or the electric drive system circuit 3.

[0055] See also Figure 4 , the control method includes:

[0056] When the main control module 7 receives the vehicle discharge instruction, the main control module 7 determines whether the driver chip fault signal and the vehicle collision signal transmitted by the signal processing module 4 are received.

[0057] In one embodiment, if the main control module 7 does not receive the driver chip fault signal, the main control module 7 outputs a discharge signal to the electric drive system circuit 3. After the main control module 7 outputs the discharge signal to the electric drive system circuit 3, the control method further includes turning on the electric drive system circuit 3, disconnecting the active discharge resistor circuit 2, and causing the electric drive system circuit 3 to discharge the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1.

[0058] In one embodiment, if the main control module 7 receives a driver chip fault signal but does not receive a vehicle collision signal, the main control module 7 outputs a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2. The active discharge resistor circuit 2 is turned on, the electric drive system loop 3 is disconnected, and the active discharge resistor circuit 2 discharges the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1.

[0059] In one embodiment, if both a driver chip fault signal and a vehicle collision signal are received, that is, if the vehicle has collided and the electric drive system circuit 3 has failed, the signal processing module 4 outputs a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2. The active discharge resistor circuit 2 then conducts, the electric drive system circuit 3 is disconnected, and the active discharge resistor circuit 2 discharges the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1.

[0060] The discharge circuit also includes a passive discharge resistance circuit 5, which includes a discharge resistor R1. The passive discharge resistor R1 is connected in parallel at both ends of the bus capacitor 1. The control method also includes the passive discharge resistance circuit 5 discharging the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when the signal acquisition unit 41 acquires a vehicle collision signal and a driver chip fault signal, it is determined that the vehicle has collided and the electric drive system circuit 3 has failed, and the signal processing module 4 outputs a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2. When the signal acquisition unit 41 does not acquire a vehicle collision signal or a driver chip fault signal, that is, the vehicle has not collided and the electric drive system circuit 3 has not failed, the main control module 7 controls the electric drive system circuit 3 to discharge. When the signal acquisition unit 41 acquires a driver chip fault signal but does not acquire a vehicle collision signal, that is, the vehicle has not collided but the electric drive system circuit 3 has failed, the main control module 7 controls the active discharge resistor circuit 2 to discharge.

[0062] The following is a detailed introduction to the vehicle's active discharge process:

[0063] Step S210 : When the main control module 7 receives the vehicle discharge instruction, the signal acquisition unit 41 collects the driver chip fault signal and the vehicle collision signal.

[0064] Step S220: The main control module 7 determines whether a driver chip fault signal is received.

[0065] Step S230 : If not, the main control module 7 sends a discharge signal to the electric drive system circuit 3 to control the electric drive system circuit 3 to be turned on, thereby discharging the voltage of the bus capacitor 1 , that is, discharging the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1 .

[0066] Step S240: If yes, the main control module 7 determines whether a vehicle collision signal is received.

[0067] Step S250: If not, that is, the main control module 7 receives the driver chip fault signal but does not receive the vehicle collision signal, that is, the signal acquisition unit 41 does not collect the vehicle collision signal, and the vehicle does not collide. After receiving the vehicle power-off instruction, the main control module 7 sends a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2, controls the first field effect transistor Q7 to be turned on, so that the active discharge resistor circuit 2 intervenes to discharge the voltage of the bus capacitor 1.

[0068] Step S260: If yes, that is, the signal acquisition unit 41 collects the vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal, and the vehicle has collided, the logic operation circuit 42 sends a discharge signal to the active discharge resistor circuit 2, controls the first field effect transistor Q7 to turn on, so that the active discharge resistor circuit 2 intervenes to discharge the voltage of the bus capacitor 1.

[0069] The above control method can achieve that when the whole vehicle collides, there is no need to send a discharge signal control through the main control module 7. The logic operation circuit 42 that receives the whole vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal directly controls the active discharge resistor circuit 2 to intervene and discharge the charge stored in the bus capacitor 1. This reduces the risk that the bus capacitor 1 voltage cannot be quickly discharged due to the main control module 7 being unable to control after the whole vehicle collision, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle. When the whole vehicle collision signal and the driver chip fault signal are not received, the software discharge method can be used, and the main control module 7 can control the discharge of the electric drive system circuit 3. When the driver chip fault signal is received but the whole vehicle collision signal is not received, the hardware discharge method can be used, and the main control module 7 can control the active discharge resistor circuit 2 to discharge, so that discharge can be achieved when the vehicle is in different states.
