AI Technical Summary
When the air compressor and power steering pump integrated unit in existing vehicles are started, the motor may experience excessive current due to inertia impact, which could damage the motor, reduce its lifespan, and pose a safety hazard.
The controller reduces the motor speed from the rated speed to the preset speed, and then reduces it to the minimum speed after the electromagnetic clutch engages, ensuring that the current is within a safe range. The speed is then restored to the rated speed to avoid motor overload.
It protects the motor, prevents overheating and reduced lifespan, reduces system maintenance costs, improves motor stability and safety, and avoids safety hazards caused by motor failure.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of controllers, in particular to a controller control method of a vehicle air compressor and steering oil pump integrated machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] After the existing vehicle is equipped with an air compressor and a steering oil pump integrated machine, the motor synchronously drives the steering oil pump and the air compressor. The steering oil pump is directly connected with the motor and continuously operates, and the air compressor is intermittently operated by installing an electromagnetic clutch between the air compressor and the motor. When the air compressor is started when the oil pump is normally operated, the electromagnetic clutch is attracted instantaneously, and due to the great inertia of the air compressor, the motor torque demand is increased and the motor speed is reduced from the rated speed N1 to N2. At this time, the motor generates a large impact current A1, and when the steering assist oil pump load is large, the current value will exceed the maximum current of the motor, causing certain irreversible damage to the motor (such as motor power reduction, motor overheating, motor demagnetization, and motor service life reduction). SUMMARY
[0003] The technical solution of the present application to solve the above technical problems is to provide a controller control method of a vehicle air compressor and steering oil pump integrated machine, comprising the following steps:
[0004] Step 1: receiving an air compressor starting signal sent by the whole vehicle end;
[0005] Step 2: in response to the starting signal, controlling the motor to actively reduce from the rated speed N1 to a preset speed N3;
[0006] Step 3: after the motor speed reaches N3, controlling the electromagnetic clutch to be attracted to connect the air compressor;
[0007] Step 4: after the electromagnetic clutch is attracted, the motor speed is reduced from N3 to the minimum speed N4 that meets the working of the steering oil pump;
[0008] Step 5: after the system runs stably, the motor speed is increased to the rated speed N1;
[0009] Wherein, the set value of N3 satisfies: the impact current A2 generated when the electromagnetic clutch is attracted is less than the maximum allowable current of the motor.
[0010] The controller control method of the application has high protection, avoids motor overheating and motor life reduction caused by motor working under large current, prevents safety problems such as steering power failure caused by motor power reduction, and serious phenomena such as economic loss and even personnel casualty; the controller control method has higher stability, improves motor service life, reduces impact on the motor shaft and the crankshaft part of the air compressor, protects the clutch under load reduction, and reduces system maintenance cost.
