Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a protection control method, device, medium and equipment for a motor controller under low voltage conditions. Background Technology
[0002] In the design of modern electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the integration of motor controllers (MCUs) with DC-DC converters (DCDCs) has become a key technology for improving space utilization and system efficiency. This integrated two-in-one controller provides motor drive and voltage conversion functions within a limited space to meet the compact design requirements of vehicle powertrains.
[0003] In related technologies, existing dual-in-one controllers typically include a motor controller (MCU) for controlling the operation of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and a DC-DC converter for converting high-voltage DC to low-voltage DC for the device's use. Under normal operating conditions, the MCU can respond to commands from an external controller and regulate the motor's speed and torque by controlling power electronic switching devices such as IGBTs.
[0004] However, when the battery charge decreases, causing a drop in bus voltage, the MCU may shut down due to an undervoltage fault, resulting in loss of motor control and the generation of excessive back electromotive force (EMF). This back EMF can damage the DC-DC converter, affecting the vehicle's safety and reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0046] This application provides a protection control method, device, medium, and equipment for a motor controller under low voltage conditions to solve the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies. In the embodiments of this application, when the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state, by controlling the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to turn on, the motor controller is put into an open state. At the same time, the motor's derating output is controlled, which can prevent motor runaway and the generation of back electromotive force, thereby protecting the DC-DC converter from damage and ensuring the reliable operation of the vehicle under low voltage conditions. The following is a detailed description using exemplary embodiments.
[0047] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 This application provides a detailed description of the protection and control method for a motor controller under low voltage conditions, as provided in the embodiments of this application. This method can be implemented using a computer program and can run on a protection and control device for a motor controller under low voltage conditions based on the von Neumann architecture. The computer program can be integrated into the application or run as a standalone utility application.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a protection control method for a motor controller under low voltage conditions, as provided in this application embodiment, and is applied to a motor controller. Figure 1 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps:
[0049] S101, when the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state, controls the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to turn on, so that the motor controller is in an open state.
[0050] In this context, a power battery refers to a battery pack that provides electrical energy to an electric vehicle. It typically consists of multiple battery cells to provide the required voltage and capacity. A low-voltage state refers to a power battery voltage dropping to a relatively low level. A motor controller (MCU) is a device used to control the operation of a motor, including its speed, torque, and direction. It controls the motor by adjusting the switching states of power electronic switching devices. An open state refers to the power electronic switching devices being in a conducting state, allowing current to flow.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, during the operation of an electric vehicle, the voltage of its power battery gradually decreases due to prolonged use. When the battery voltage drops to a preset low-voltage threshold, the motor controller (MCU) detects this change and enters a low-voltage protection mode. In this mode, the MCU sends a signal to the power electronic switching device (such as an IGBT) through its internal control logic, causing it to turn on. This results in the motor controller being in an open state, allowing current to continue flowing to the motor, thus maintaining motor operation even when the battery voltage is low.
[0052] For example, if the preset low voltage threshold is 300 volts, the MCU will control the power electronic switching devices of the motor controller to turn on when the battery voltage drops to 295 volts.
[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the following process is specifically performed before the power electronic switching device of the motor controller is turned on: obtaining the current bus voltage and motor speed; determining that the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state if the current bus voltage is less than a preset second voltage threshold; and the preset second voltage threshold is greater than a preset first voltage threshold.
[0054] Bus voltage refers to the voltage level on the bus in a power system, which is the main conductor used to distribute electrical energy. In electric vehicles, bus voltage refers to the voltage supplied by the battery pack. Motor speed refers to the speed at which the motor rotates, usually measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). The preset voltage threshold is a pre-set voltage value used to determine whether the battery voltage is in a normal or low-voltage state. The preset second voltage threshold is a specific voltage value used to determine whether the power battery is in a low-voltage state. This value is greater than the preset first voltage threshold, which is used to determine the lower limit of the normal operating voltage.
[0055] For example, the motor controller (MCU) of an electric vehicle monitors the bus voltage and motor speed in real time. The MCU first obtains the current bus voltage and motor speed. For example, the current bus voltage is 350 volts and the motor speed is 2000 RPM. The MCU compares the obtained bus voltage with preset voltage thresholds. Assume the preset first voltage threshold is 300 volts and the preset second voltage threshold is 360 volts. If the current bus voltage (295 volts) is less than the preset second voltage threshold (360 volts), it is determined to be a low-voltage state. At this time, the power electronic switching device of the motor controller is turned on, so that the motor controller is in the open state.
[0056] S102, when the motor controller is in the open state and the current bus voltage is less than the preset first voltage threshold, control the output power of the motor in the vehicle to reduce by a preset value so that the motor outputs at a reduced rate.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, when the motor controller is in the open state and the current bus voltage is less than a preset first voltage threshold, the output power of the motor in the vehicle is reduced by a preset value to reduce the output of the motor; or when the motor controller is in the open state and the current bus voltage is greater than or equal to the preset first voltage threshold, the step of controlling the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to turn on is continued to be executed to keep the motor controller in the open state.
[0058] For example, if the MCU is in the ON state, meaning the power electronic switching devices are turned on, allowing current to flow to the motor, and if the current bus voltage of 295 is lower than a preset first voltage threshold of 300 volts, the MCU will reduce the motor's output power by a preset value, for example, from 100 kW to 70 kW, to protect the battery and motor, achieving derating output. Alternatively, if the current bus voltage of 295 is greater than or equal to the preset first voltage threshold of 300 volts, i.e., between the preset first voltage threshold of 300 volts and a preset second voltage threshold (360 volts), the MCU will continue to execute the step of controlling the power electronic switching devices to turn on, keeping the motor controller in the ON state and allowing the motor to operate at normal power.
[0059] S103 controls the engine operation based on the target motor speed of the dated motor output.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the specific process of controlling the engine operation based on the target motor speed output by the dated motor includes: receiving a pipe opening signal sent by an external controller; when the target motor speed is less than a preset first speed threshold, responding to the pipe opening signal, controlling the motor to maintain the running state and starting a timer; and issuing a fault alarm message when the pipe opening signal is continuously received from the external controller during the timed period.
[0061] In some embodiments, if the target motor speed is greater than or equal to a preset first speed threshold, the step of controlling the output power of the motor in the vehicle to decrease by a preset value continues.
[0062] In some embodiments, in response to a shutdown request sent by an external controller, the power electronic switching devices of the motor controller are turned off to stop the engine.
[0063] In some embodiments, if the bus voltage at the current moment is greater than a preset third voltage threshold or the motor speed is less than a preset second speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle's power battery is in a normal state; if the vehicle's power battery is in a normal state, a power supply opening signal sent by an external controller is received; if there is no fault in the vehicle's power supply system, the power supply opening signal is responded to; or if there is a fault in the vehicle's power supply system, the power supply opening signal is not responded to; wherein, the preset third voltage threshold is greater than the preset second voltage threshold, and the preset second speed threshold is less than the preset first speed threshold.
[0064] For example, the MCU receives a power-on signal from an external controller. If the target motor speed is lower than a preset first speed threshold (e.g., 1000 RPM), the MCU responds to the power-on signal, keeps the motor running, and starts a timer.
[0065] If the MCU continuously receives the switching signal during the timer's operation, but the motor speed fails to reach the target value, the MCU will issue a fault alarm message.
[0066] If the target motor speed reaches or exceeds the preset first speed threshold, the MCU will continue to execute the step of reducing the motor output power.
[0067] If the MCU receives a shutdown request from an external controller, it will control the power electronic switching devices to turn off and stop the motor from running.
[0068] If the current bus voltage is higher than a preset third voltage threshold (e.g., 420 volts), or the motor speed is lower than a preset second speed threshold (e.g., 500 RPM), the MCU determines that the power battery is in a normal state. In a normal power battery state, the MCU receives and responds to the power supply system's power-on signal from the external controller. If the power supply system is fault-free, the MCU will respond to the power-on signal; if there is a fault, the MCU will not respond.
[0069] For example Figure 2 As shown, if the bus voltage at the current moment is greater than a preset third voltage threshold or the motor speed is less than a preset second speed threshold, the vehicle's power battery is determined to be in a normal state; if the bus voltage at the current moment is less than the preset second voltage threshold, the vehicle's power battery is determined to be in a low-voltage state. The preset third voltage threshold is greater than the preset second voltage threshold. When the vehicle's power battery is in a normal state, it receives an opening signal from an external controller; if there is no fault in the vehicle's power supply system, it responds to the opening signal; or if there is a fault in the vehicle's power supply system, it does not respond to the opening signal. When the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state, it controls the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to turn on, so that the motor controller is in an open state; if the motor controller is in an open state and the bus voltage at the current moment is less than a preset first voltage threshold, it controls the output power of the motor in the vehicle to decrease by a preset value, so that the motor outputs at a reduced rate; the preset second voltage threshold is greater than the preset first voltage threshold. If the motor controller is in an open state and the bus voltage at the current moment is greater than or equal to the preset first voltage threshold, it continues to execute the step of controlling the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to turn on, so that the motor controller is in an open state. Receives the opening signal from the external controller; when the target motor speed is less than the preset first speed threshold, responds to the opening signal, controls the motor to maintain operation, and starts the timer; if the opening signal from the external controller is continuously received during the timed period, a fault alarm message is issued.
[0070] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state, the motor controller is turned on by controlling the power electronic switching device of the motor controller to put the motor controller in an open state. At the same time, the motor is controlled to derating output, which can prevent motor runaway and the generation of back electromotive force, thereby protecting the DC-DC converter from damage and ensuring reliable operation of the vehicle under low-voltage conditions.

[0074] The motor derating control module 20 is used to control the output power of the motor in the vehicle to be reduced by a preset value when the motor controller is in the open state and the current bus voltage is less than a preset first voltage threshold, so as to reduce the output power of the motor by a preset value.

The engine operation is controlled based on the target motor speed output by the dated motor; Before the power electronic switching device controlling the motor controller is turned on, the system further includes: Obtain the current bus voltage and motor speed; If the bus voltage at the current moment is less than a preset second voltage threshold, it is determined that the vehicle's power battery is in a low-voltage state; the preset second voltage threshold is greater than the preset first voltage threshold. The step of controlling engine operation based on the target motor speed output by the dated motor includes: Receives the tube opening signal sent by an external controller; When the target motor speed is less than a preset first speed threshold, in response to the opening signal, the motor is controlled to maintain the running state and the timer is started; If a tube-opening signal is continuously received from an external controller during the timing period, a fault alarm message will be issued. The method further includes: If the bus voltage at the current moment is greater than a preset third voltage threshold or the motor speed is less than a preset second speed threshold, the vehicle's power battery is determined to be in a normal state. When the vehicle's power battery is in normal condition, it receives an opening signal from an external controller. If there is no fault in the vehicle's power supply system, the system responds to the opening signal; or if there is a fault in the vehicle's power supply system, the system does not respond to the opening signal. Wherein, the preset third voltage threshold is greater than the preset second voltage threshold, and the preset second speed threshold is less than the preset first speed threshold.
