Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electrically excited direct current synchronous motors, in particular to a fault-tolerant drive control method for electrically excited direct current synchronous motors for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The electrically excited DC synchronous motor is a new type of brushless DC motor developed on the basis of the switched reluctance motor. Its stator is wound with armature winding and excitation winding, and there is no winding on the rotor. It has a simple and reliable structure and flexible control. The four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor has the advantages of good fault tolerance and suitability for harsh working conditions. It is very flexible to control and has broad application prospects in electric vehicles, aviation and other fields.

[0003] At present, there are few studies on fault-tolerant control strategies for excitation faults of four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motors. In the prior art, there is a blank in the electric control fault-tolerant strategy for four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motors, and there is still a blank in the need for further fault-tolerant control when the main power converter fails during excitation faults. In order to fill this gap, this paper studies a fault-tolerant drive control method for electrically excited DC synchronous motors for electric vehicles. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems and technical requirements, the inventors have proposed a fault-tolerant drive control method for an electrically excited DC synchronous motor for electric vehicles, which can realize fault-tolerant control when a switch tube fails in the main power topology under an excitation fault. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] An electric fault-tolerant control strategy for an electrically excited DC synchronous motor includes a fault-tolerant topology, a four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor, a position sensor, a load, an energy storage capacitor C, a DC power supply U dc ;

[0006] DC power supply U dc The positive electrode is connected to the collector of the upper switch tube of each bridge arm in the fault-tolerant topology, and the DC power supply U dc The negative electrode is connected to the emitter of the lower switch tube of each bridge arm of the fault-tolerant topology;

[0007] The load is connected in parallel with the load energy storage capacitor and in parallel with the fault-tolerant topology, which consists of an H-bridge converter and four electronic switches.

[0008] The four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor is characterized in that the four groups of H-bridge converters have the same structure, each H-bridge converter includes a first bridge arm and a second bridge arm respectively composed of an upper switch tube and a lower switch tube connected in reverse series, and a diode is connected in reverse parallel to both ends of the lower switch tubes in the two bridge arms; at the same time, an electronic switch is connected between the positive end of the A-phase winding and the positive end of the C-phase winding, and an electronic switch is connected between the negative end of the A-phase winding and the negative end of the C-phase winding; an electronic switch is connected between the positive end of the B-phase winding and the positive end of the D-phase winding, and an electronic switch is connected between the negative end of the B-phase winding and the negative end of the D-phase winding;

[0009] The four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor is characterized in that the three-phase armature winding includes an A-phase winding, a B-phase winding, a C-phase winding, and a D-phase winding, the first H-bridge converter is connected to the A-phase winding, the second H-bridge converter is connected to the B-phase winding, the third H-bridge converter is connected to the C-phase winding, and the fourth H-bridge converter is connected to the D-phase winding.

[0010] When the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor is working normally: when the current sensor does not detect an excitation fault, the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor operates in a normal strategy state, the controller controls the electronic switches K1, K2, K3, and K4 to be disconnected, and the conduction logic during normal operation is adopted; when an excitation fault is detected in the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor, the excitation circuit is disconnected, and a fault-tolerant strategy is adopted for fault-tolerant control.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The present application discloses a fault-tolerant drive control method for an electrically excited DC synchronous motor for electric vehicles. Before an excitation fault occurs, the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor turns off K1, K2, K3, and K4 to conduct normal motoring in a manner of "positive electricity is passed through the inductance rising phase and negative electricity is passed through the inductance falling phase". After an excitation fault occurs, the motor switches to a fault-tolerant mode, thereby improving the reliability of the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor in various environments. The motor is suitable for use in the automotive and other industries.

[0013] In addition, the H-bridge converter used in the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor helps to make each phase winding independent, and there is no problem of current gap caused by the change of midpoint potential, and the control strategy is more flexible. The motor power generation process no longer needs to be connected in series with the power consumption phase, which can improve the motor operation efficiency and has good fault tolerance performance.

[0029] When the current sensor detects an excitation fault, the controller disconnects the excitation circuit and switches to fault-tolerant mode. When the four-phase electrically excited DC synchronous motor has an excitation fault and the switch tube in the fault-tolerant topology does not fail, the converter topology conduction diagram and fault-tolerant conduction logic are as follows when the motor electrical angle is in the range of [0°, 90°]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown:

When the motor electrical angle is in the interval [90°, 180°), the converter topology conduction diagram and fault-tolerant conduction logic are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown:

[0035] First, the electronic switches K1, K2, K3, and K4 are controlled to be turned off. When the motor electrical angle is in the interval [0°, 90°), S5, S14, S7, and S16 are controlled to be turned on.

When the motor electrical angle is in the interval [0°, 90°), the converter topology conduction diagram and fault-tolerant conduction logic are as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown:
