Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor control technology, specifically to a power distribution method and power distribution device for a four-motor assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The electrification of construction machinery is a major trend under the energy transition, and electric mining trucks or range-extended mining trucks are being rapidly promoted due to their superior performance and energy-saving effects. Given the heavy loads, low speeds, and harsh road conditions encountered in mining scenarios, electric mining trucks or range-extended mining trucks typically employ multi-motor coordinated control in their drive systems to meet their power and safety performance requirements.
[0003] In related technologies, the power distribution for multiple motors generally adopts a torque-equal distribution method. This method cannot achieve differentiated torque adjustment for each wheel, which easily leads to long-term low-load operation of the motors. For example, when an electric mining truck is driving empty or cruising on a smooth road, the total torque demand is low. Torque equal distribution means that each motor only outputs less than 25% of the torque. However, the efficiency of the motor is extremely low under low torque conditions. Even if no torque is output, copper and iron losses will still occur. This "small horse pulling a small cart" mode will cause a lot of energy waste. On the other hand, due to the influence of manufacturing process, wear and tear, etc., the actual efficiency of the four motors varies. The fixed mode of torque equal distribution ignores this difference and forces the inefficient motor and the efficient motor to bear the same torque, which makes it impossible for each motor to adapt to its own efficient range, further reducing the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a power distribution method for a four-motor assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the four-motor assembly can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 2As shown, it includes four motors, namely motor 1, motor 2, motor 3 and motor 4. The motor output shaft is connected to the gear of the reducer input shaft to achieve speed reduction and torque increase. The total torque is output by one reducer output shaft.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the power distribution method for a four-motor assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S1-S6:
[0034] S1, Obtain the actual output torque of each motor in the current frame. Total torque requirement of the four-motor assembly .
[0035] Specifically, in the current frame n, the actual output torque of the four motors They are respectively , , , The total torque request of the four-motor assembly obtained by the vehicle controller or motor controller. It can be calculated based on the accelerator pedal and / or brake pedal signals.
[0036] S2, based on total torque request and the actual output torque of each motor Calculate the required torque increment of the four-motor assembly .
[0037] Specifically, the increase in demand torque Defined as the current total torque demand Subtract the current total actual output torque, specifically calculated using the following formula:
[0038] ;
[0039] in, This represents the actual output torque of motor i in frame n, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, and n is a positive integer. This represents the increase in required torque for the four-motor assembly in frame n. This represents the total torque request for the four-motor assembly in frame n.
[0040] S3, Calculate the slope k of the current frame's optimal efficiency with respect to torque for each motor based on the motor efficiency map. in .
[0041] Furthermore, based on the motor efficiency map, the slope k of the current frame's optimal efficiency with respect to torque is calculated for each motor. inSpecifically, this includes: obtaining the motor's current frame speed; finding the optimal efficiency and corresponding torque of the motor at the current frame speed based on the motor efficiency map; and calculating the slope of the optimal efficiency at the corresponding torque, which is used as the slope k of the motor's current frame optimal efficiency with respect to torque. in .
[0042] Specifically, the current motor speed is obtained. Based on the motor efficiency map, the optimal efficiency and corresponding torque of the motor at the current frame speed are found. The slope of the optimal efficiency with respect to the corresponding torque is calculated and used as the slope of the optimal efficiency with respect to torque in the current frame. For example, for motor 1, the slope of its optimal efficiency with respect to torque in the current frame is... , This represents the optimal efficiency of motor 1 at the current frame speed. Let be the torque corresponding to the optimal efficiency of motor 1 at the current frame speed. Similarly, the slope k of the optimal efficiency of motors 2, 3, and 4 in the current frame with respect to torque can be calculated. 2n k 3n and k 4n .
[0043] S4, Obtain the motor priority order, and calculate the slope k of torque based on the motor priority order and the optimal efficiency of each motor. in Calculate the internal torque adjustment of each motor in the current frame. .
[0044] Specifically, the motor priority order is pre-stored. For example, the motor priorities from high to low are: motor 1, motor 2, motor 3, motor 4.
[0045] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the slope k of torque is determined according to the motor priority order and the optimal efficiency of each motor. in Calculate the internal torque adjustment of each motor in the current frame. Specifically, this includes: the slope k of torque based on optimal efficiency. in The motors are sorted in descending order of efficiency. If motors with the same slope for optimal efficiency versus torque exist, they are then sorted according to their priority. The internal torque adjustment of the motor ranked first is then determined. The value assigned is the positive torque variation unit calibrated quantity T. step The internal torque adjustment of the fourth-ranked motor Assigned value: negative torque variation unit calibration value -T step The internal torque adjustment value of other motors is set to 0. step Set the parameters in advance according to the motor parameters.
[0046] Specifically, the slope k of the calculated optimal efficiency of motors 1, 2, 3, and 4 with respect to torque. 1n k2n k 3n k 4n Sort by size, and assign the internal torque adjustment value of the motor ranked first to the positive torque change unit calibrated value T. step The internal torque adjustment of the fourth-ranked motor is assigned the value of the negative torque variation unit calibration value -T. step The internal torque adjustment of other motors is set to 0. If there are slopes of the same magnitude, they are sorted according to the pre-stored motor priority order.
[0047] For example, if the motor priority order is: motor 1, motor 2, motor 3, motor 4, the calculated k 1n k 2n k 3n k 4n If all motors are the same size, then the order of the motors is: Motor 1, Motor 2, Motor 3, Motor 4. Therefore: =T step , =0, =0, =-T step ;
[0048] If k 2n >k 1n =k 3n =k 4n The motor order is: Motor 2, Motor 1, Motor 3, Motor 4. Therefore: =T step , =0, =0, =-T step ;
[0049] If k 1n =k 2n =k 3n <k 4n The motor sequence is: Motor 4, Motor 1, Motor 2, Motor 3. Therefore: =T step , =0, =0, =-T step ;
[0050] In summary, the motors are sorted first based on the slope of the torque based on the optimal efficiency. Motors with the same slope are then sorted according to their stored priority order.
[0051] S5, based on the actual output torque of each motor in the current frame, the required torque increment, and the internal torque adjustment of each motor in the current frame, calculate the torque to be allocated to each motor in the next frame.
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the torque to be allocated to each motor in the next frame is specifically calculated according to the following formula:
[0053] ;
[0054] ;
[0055] in, This represents the torque of motor i in frame (n+1). This represents the actual output torque of motor i in frame n, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, and n is a positive integer. This represents the increase in required torque for the four-motor assembly in frame n. This represents the internal torque adjustment of motor i in frame n. This represents the total torque request for the four-motor assembly in frame n.
[0056] S6, based on the torque to be allocated in the next frame Power is distributed to the four motors.
[0057] Specifically, based on the calculated torque to be allocated in the next frame Power is distributed to four motors, and continuous optimization and individual control are performed through calculations in each frame, which improves the efficiency of the entire motor system. The optimization process has low computational load, fast convergence speed and accurate convergence results, making it suitable for various application scenarios.
[0058] The torque distribution method itself does not have a priority order, but when calculating the internal torque adjustment, it depends on the set motor priority order. If the motor priority order is motor 1, motor 2, motor 3, motor 4, then each time it starts, motor 1 has the highest priority and motor 4 has the lowest priority. Each time it starts, motor 1 will increase torque and motor 4 will decrease torque by default, which will cause motor 1 to always be subjected to more force, thus making motor 1 wear more than other motors.
[0059] To avoid the problem of individual motors wearing out quickly and having a short lifespan, a motor priority switching strategy is designed based on the power distribution method of the four-motor assembly mentioned above.
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the power distribution method of the above-mentioned four-motor assembly may further include: setting multiple motor priority sequences and storing them in a set order; when the actual total output torque of the motor is 0 and continues for a set frame, switching the motor priority sequence in a set order.
[0061] Specifically, multiple different motor priority sequences can be set in advance. For example, up to 24 motor priority sequences can be set for four motors, or 16, 12, 8, 4, etc. can be set according to actual needs.
[0062] For example, the following four motor priority order schemes can be set:
[0063] Case 1: Motor 1, Motor 2, Motor 3, Motor 4;
[0064] Case 2: Motor 2, Motor 3, Motor 4, Motor 1;
[0065] Case 3: Motor 3, Motor 4, Motor 1, Motor 2;
[0066] Case 4: Motor 4, Motor 1, Motor 2, Motor 3.
[0067] The priority order of the four motors is: Case 1-Case 2-Case 3-Case 4.
[0068] Set switching conditions; when the actual total output torque of the four motors... When the value is 0 for 100 consecutive frames, the vehicle containing the motor is considered to be in a stopped state. When the switching state bit is set from 0 to 1, the motor priority order is switched. The initial motor priority order uses Case 1, and the actual total output torque of the four motors is detected. When the value is 0 and remains so for 100 frames, the motor priority order is switched to Case 2; when the switching condition is met, the motor priority order is switched to Case 3; when the switching condition is met, the motor priority order is switched to Case 4; when the switching condition is met, the motor priority order is switched back to Case 1, and so on. Therefore, this strategy of switching motor priority order prevents the same motor from being prioritized by default after each power outage and restart, thus avoiding increasing the load on that motor and solving the problem of rapid wear and short lifespan of a single motor. Furthermore, the switching algorithm uses static switching, effectively avoiding driving safety and handling issues caused by real-time switching.
[0069] In this invention, in addition to the motor priority switching strategy based on the pre-stored order described above, other methods can also be used, such as using pseudo-random numbers to determine the initial motor torque allocation upon power-up based on the clock signal, so as to prevent the same motor from being prioritized by default after each power outage and restart.
[0070] In summary, the power distribution method for the four-motor assembly according to the embodiments of the present invention continuously optimizes and individually controls the motor torque by taking the derivative of the torque with the optimal efficiency of each motor, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire motor system. Moreover, the optimization process has low computational load, fast convergence speed, and accurate convergence results, making it suitable for various application scenarios. Furthermore, a strategy for switching the motor priority order is designed to prevent the same motor from being prioritized by default after each power outage and restart, which would increase the load on that motor and solve the problem of rapid wear and short lifespan of a single motor.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the power distribution device of the above-mentioned four-motor assembly further includes: a switching module, which is specifically used to: set multiple motor priority sequences and store them in a set order; when the actual total output torque of the motor is 0 and the set frame continues, switch the motor priority sequence in a set order.

This represents the increase in required torque for the four-motor assembly in frame n. This represents the internal torque adjustment of motor i in frame n. This represents the total torque request for the four-motor assembly in frame n.
