Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of motor drive circuit fault detection, and in particular to a system and method for detecting a fault in an open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor drive circuit. Background Art

[0002] The open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor opens the neutral point of the traditional three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor to form an open winding structure with dual ports. It has the advantages of high efficiency, good performance, and high torque density. It has been widely used in electric vehicles, aerospace, and household appliances.

[0003] Since short circuit or open circuit faults of the switch tube or winding in the open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor drive circuit will affect the stable operation and performance of the motor, it is necessary to detect faults in the drive circuit. The traditional open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor drive circuit fault detection method is to determine the combination of the faulty phase and the faulty switch tube by calculating the average value of the phase current, and use the current Hall sensor to detect the direction of the back electromotive force to determine the open circuit fault of the specific switch tube. However, this method can only detect the open circuit condition of the switch tube, but not the short circuit condition. In addition, the high dependence on sensor accuracy may lead to diagnostic delays or misjudgments under rapidly changing working conditions. Summary of the invention

[0012] When the corresponding sampling resistor voltage and the fourth sampling resistor voltage both change, a short circuit fault occurs in the corresponding lower / upper bridge arm power switch device in the other inverter;

[0013] When the corresponding sampling resistor voltage does not change and the fourth sampling resistor voltage changes, a short circuit fault occurs in the corresponding lower / upper bridge arm power switch device in the same inverter;

[0014] When the corresponding sampling resistor voltage and the fourth sampling resistor voltage do not change, a short circuit fault occurs in the corresponding lower / upper bridge arm power switch devices in the two inverters.

[0015] Furthermore, the power switch device open circuit detection process includes:

[0016] An upper bridge arm power switch device in one inverter is set to be in a conducting state, a pulse signal is injected into the corresponding lower bridge arm power switch device in another inverter, and the voltage of the sampling resistor connected in series with the corresponding phase winding and the voltage of the fourth sampling resistor are collected at this time.

[0017] When the corresponding sampling resistor voltage and the fourth sampling resistor voltage both change, no open circuit fault occurs in the current two power switch devices;

[0018] When the corresponding sampling resistor voltage and the fourth sampling resistor voltage do not change, open circuit faults exist in the two current power switch devices.

[0019] Furthermore, the winding open circuit detection process includes:

[0020] A pulse signal is injected into the upper and lower power switch devices in the same bridge arm of an inverter, and the voltage of the fourth sampling resistor is collected at this time.

[0021] When the voltage of the fourth sampling resistor changes, the corresponding phase winding does not have an open circuit fault;

[0022] When the voltage of the fourth sampling resistor does not change, an open circuit fault occurs in the corresponding phase winding.

[0023] Furthermore, the method further includes: when fault detection is not required, adjusting the resistance value of the sampling resistor to zero, so that the sampling resistor is in a short-circuited state.

[0024] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0025] The present invention utilizes a sampling resistor in a driving circuit of an open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor to detect faults of power switch components and windings through current conditions on the resistor, thereby solving the problem that conventional switch tube fault detection methods are complex and have limited fault detection.

[0026] The present invention can quickly and accurately detect the short-circuit fault of a specific switch tube in the short-circuit fault detection of the power switch device of the dual inverter circuit, thereby providing a more reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the motor.

[0027] In the open circuit fault detection of the power switch device of the dual inverter circuit, the present invention detects two power switch devices at the same time, shortens the detection time, and improves the efficiency of fault detection.
