Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrical systems of new energy mining vehicles, and relates to an electrical system of an electric wheel mining truck and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The "AC-DC-AC" electric drive system is widely used in traditional large-tonnage rigid mining dump trucks due to its high transmission efficiency, simple and convenient control. Traditional electric wheel mining trucks are mainly composed of three major parts: the body, the diesel engine, and the electric drive system. The driving method is: the diesel engine drives the generator to generate electricity, and then the electric drive frequency conversion drives the traction motor to drive the tires through the reducer. The electric drive system is the "heart" of the electric wheel mining vehicle, which consists of components such as the generator, traction converter, electric wheel, and brake resistor. In the AC power transmission system, the intermediate DC circuit is the intermediate link between the rectifier unit and the inverter unit. Among them, the maximum value of the intermediate DC voltage is an important parameter. The inverter's commutation capacity and modulation voltage quality are affected by the intermediate DC voltage. The maximum value of the intermediate DC voltage determines the voltage level of the main equipment such as the inverter, asynchronous traction motor, main generator, and main rectifier. When the power of the mining dump truck is certain, their current value is also determined, which in turn determines the volume and quality of the equipment.

[0003] When driving a large-tonnage electric wheel mining truck, the vehicle requires high power. The existing engine has low output horsepower and unstable operation. In addition, the tail end of the existing engine is connected to a brushless excitation synchronous generator, which has low motor efficiency and large size. Considering the current limitation and cost factors of the hardware module, the intermediate DC voltage mainly adopts several ultra-high voltage platforms such as 1500V, 1800V, and 2600V. The electrical control system includes modules such as rectifiers, choppers, and inverters. The system layout is complex, the volume is large, the cost is high, and the later maintainability is poor. Although some traditional models are equipped with low-power batteries, the DC600V DC voltage platform is generally selected. Considering the power demand of the vehicle during operation, the battery must match the vehicle's ultra-voltage platform during the actual control process. The battery discharge process must be "boosted", that is, DC600V is boosted to DC1500V / 1800V / 2600V, and the battery charging process must be "stepped down", that is, DC1500V / 1800V / 2600V is stepped down to DC600V, which further increases the complexity of the vehicle control system. For example, the Chinese invention patent application "New Energy Mining Vehicle Electrical System" with application number 201810811666.3 proposes that the generator controller and the hydraulic motor controller are connected to a four-in-one integrated controller; the vehicle driving system is then connected to the four-in-one integrated controller and finally to the battery module. The battery module provides power to the vehicle through the four-in-one integrated controller. Electrical modules that can achieve product lightweight and size reduction are not used. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the intermediate DC voltage of AC transmission mainly adopts several ultra-high voltage platforms, which leads to complex vehicle system, large volume, poor maintainability in the later stage, etc., and to provide an electrical system of an electric wheel mining truck and a working method thereof.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention discloses an electrical system of an electric wheel mining truck, comprising a front-end power generation unit, a mid-end power distribution unit and a rear-end motor drive unit; The front-end power generation unit includes an integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module, the integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module is connected to a generator control unit GCU, and the generator control unit GCU is connected to a vehicle controller VCU; the mid-end power distribution unit includes a power distribution module PDU connected to the generator control unit GCU; the rear-end motor drive unit includes a plurality of drive motor front-end controllers MCU connected to the power distribution module PDU, and the drive motor front-end controller MCU is connected to a three-phase AC asynchronous motor; the power distribution module PDU and the drive motor front-end controller MCU are both connected to the vehicle controller VCU; The generator control unit GCU converts the three-phase alternating current generated by the integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module into direct current and transmits it to the power distribution module PDU.

[0006] Further improvements are: The mid-end power distribution unit also includes a power battery connected to the power distribution module PDU, and the power battery is connected to the vehicle controller VCU.

[0007] The integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module, generator control unit GCU, vehicle controller VCU, power distribution module PDU, power battery, drive motor front-end controller MCU and three-phase AC asynchronous motor all adopt a DC800V voltage platform.

[0008] The power battery is provided with a thermal management system and a battery management system; the thermal management system is an integrated liquid cooling system or an integrated air cooling system.

[0009] The generator control unit GCU adopts silicon carbide MOSFET semiconductor and Viper module packaging technology.

[0010] The front-end power generation unit and the rear-end motor drive unit both adopt FOC vector control.

[0011] The three-phase AC asynchronous motor is a 2*Y series-connected three-phase asynchronous motor.

[0012] The system also includes a fault diagnosis and protection unit, which is connected to the vehicle controller VCU, the generator control unit GCU, the power distribution module PDU and the drive motor front-end controller MCU.

[0013] The generator control unit GCU, the power distribution module PDU and the drive motor front-end controller MCU communicate with the vehicle controller VCU via a CAN bus or Ethernet.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention discloses a working method of an electrical system of an electric wheel mining truck, wherein the vehicle controller VCU obtains real-time power demand and torque demand according to the current vehicle operating condition and the power of the power battery, transmits the power demand to an integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module through a generator control unit GCU, and transmits the torque demand to a three-phase AC asynchronous motor through a drive motor front-end controller MCU; The integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module generates three-phase alternating current, which is converted into direct current by the generator control unit GCU and then transmitted to the power distribution module PDU; at the same time, the power battery is ready to charge or discharge at any time according to the instructions of the vehicle controller VCU; The power distribution module PDU integrates the DC800V current and the current from the power battery and transmits them to the drive motor front-end controller MCU. The drive motor front-end controller MCU inverts the DC power from the power distribution module PDU into the three-phase AC power required to drive the three-phase AC asynchronous motor, transmits it to the three-phase AC asynchronous motor connected to it, and drives the three-phase AC asynchronous motor to operate according to the instructions of the vehicle controller VCU.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention discloses an electrical system for an electric wheel mining truck. The front-end power generation unit adopts an integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module, and cooperates with the generator control unit GCU to efficiently convert the three-phase alternating current generated by the generator into direct current. Compared with the brushless excitation main generator equipped with the traditional electric wheel ultra-high voltage platform, the volume and weight are greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the permanent magnet synchronous motor can be greatly improved compared with the brushless excitation generator. This conversion not only improves the energy utilization efficiency, but also reduces the loss of energy during the conversion process, and provides a stable and reliable power supply for the rear-end motor. The entire electrical system adopts a modular design, and the units are closely connected and coordinated. The mid-end power distribution unit distributes electric energy to the rear-end motor drive unit through the power distribution module PDU, realizing the reasonable distribution and utilization of electric energy. At the same time, the power distribution module PDU and the front-end controller MCU of the drive motor are connected to the vehicle controller VCU to form a complete control system. The system in the present invention is based on the DC800V voltage platform, applicable to the voltage DC600-DC1000V, greatly compatible with the matching selection of each module of the whole vehicle, and improves the integration and reliability of the system.

[0016] Furthermore, the mid-end power distribution unit also includes a power battery connected to the power distribution module PDU, and the power battery is connected to the vehicle controller VCU. The mid-end of the vehicle electrical system is a set of power-type power batteries and PDU power distribution modules with fast charging and discharging capabilities, all of which adopt a DC800V voltage platform, with lightweight batteries, significantly improved charging / discharging speed, high energy conversion efficiency, and effective reduction in power consumption, etc., reducing the need for the traditional electric wheel battery charging and discharging to cooperate with the complex control process of the converter "boost / step-down". The vehicle system can be driven normally only by the power battery without relying on the output of the front-end integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module; it can also be driven normally only by the front-end integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module without relying on the output of the power battery. The electric energy generated by the drive motor during energy recovery can be stored in the power battery in real time for repeated use by the vehicle. The electric energy exceeding the battery recharge threshold is consumed by the front-end integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator to prevent battery overcharging, and the vehicle has lower energy consumption. It is more conducive to the driver's flexible choice of vehicle driving mode under different working conditions, and it maximizes efficiency, intelligence, and environmental protection.

[0017] Furthermore, the generator control unit GCU adopts silicon carbide MOSFET semiconductor and Viper module packaging technology. Compared with the traditional silicon-based power module (Si IGBT), the power module is 40% lighter and 30% smaller in size. Compared with the traditional industrial inverter cabinet, the weight and volume are greatly reduced, effectively reducing the layout space of the whole vehicle.

[0018] Furthermore, the thermal management system is an integrated liquid cooling system or an integrated air cooling system, which ensures that the battery maintains an optimal operating temperature range under different operating conditions and extends the battery life.

[0019] Furthermore, both the front-end power generation unit and the rear-end motor drive unit adopt FOC vector control, which can greatly reduce the cost of the vehicle's electrical system and make the vehicle easier to control compared with the traditional electric wheel high-power high-voltage platform inverter VVVF open control.

[0020] The present invention discloses a working method of an electrical system of an electric wheel mining truck, which determines the power demand and torque demand according to the vehicle operating conditions and the power of the power battery in real time through the vehicle controller VCU, thereby realizing precise control of the power system of the electric wheel mining truck. This dynamic response mechanism ensures that the mining truck can quickly adjust its operating state to meet different power and torque requirements when facing a complex and changeable operating environment, thereby improving operating efficiency and safety. This method realizes efficient management and utilization of energy through the coordinated work of an integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator module and a power battery. The generator control unit GCU can adjust the generator output according to the real-time power demand, while the power battery is charged or discharged according to the instructions of the vehicle controller VCU to balance the system energy demand. This energy management strategy not only improves the energy utilization efficiency, but also extends the service life of the power battery. The power distribution module PDU integrates the DC current and the current from the power battery and transmits them to the drive motor front-end controller MCU. This process ensures the stability and reliability of the system voltage. At the same time, the front-end controller MCU of the drive motor inverts the DC power supply into the three-phase AC power required by the drive motor, and accurately controls the operation of the motor according to the instructions of the vehicle controller VCU, thereby improving the overall stability and operating efficiency of the system. This method relies on the precise calculation and instruction transmission of the vehicle controller VCU to realize the intelligent control of the entire electrical system. By real-time monitoring and adjusting the system status, the VCU can ensure that the mining truck can maintain the best operating state under various working conditions, while providing fault warning and diagnosis functions, reducing system maintenance costs and downtime.
