[0002] With the rapid progress of social industrialization, while transportation tools are constantly developing, the pressure brought by transportation tools to the environment has also attracted much attention. Battery electric vehicles have been produced. Battery electric vehicles rely on the electric energy in the battery to drive the motor of the driver to rotate, thereby converting the electric energy into kinetic energy. Therefore, they are very popular in the vast cities. However, while the existing battery electric vehicles are popular with people, their own defects have also arisen;
[0003] Since existing electric vehicles lack a way to switch the motor operation during driving, especially to switch between high torque and high speed of the drive motor, and the motor torque is an important indicator to measure the motor performance, it will directly affect the overall performance of the electric vehicle. Therefore, it greatly limits the operating efficiency and driving distance of the electric vehicle. For this reason, we propose a motor switching circuit for the vehicle drive. Utility Model Content

[0005] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions: a motor switching circuit of a vehicle drive, including a U winding, a V winding, a W winding, and a switching module, wherein the U windings are electrically connected by U1 terminals and U2 terminals, the V windings are electrically connected by V1 terminals and V2 terminals, and the W windings are electrically connected by W1 terminals and W2 terminals, and N-channel Q1 MOSFET, Q2MOSFET, Q3MOSFET, Q4MOSFET, Q5MOSFET, Q6MOSFET, Q7MOSFET, Q8MOSFET, and Q9MOSFET are also electrically connected between the U winding, V winding, and W winding, respectively.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor switching module determines the connection mode of the U winding, V winding and W winding of the motor according to the data uploaded by the driver to control the state of the motor operation, and the default Y connection is powered on; then the motor starts to run at low speed and high torque, and the three independent windings change the traditional fixed triangle connection or star connection, so that the whole vehicle can get the maximum starting power. When the whole vehicle is running, the motor is connected in two different modes, namely Y connection and triangle connection, and the real-time data of the motor uploaded by the driver, the motor speed and running current are received through the switching module, so that the motor switches the low-speed running state and the high-speed running state respectively, and then the motor operation mode is switched to make the motor play the maximum torque and a wider efficiency platform, thereby improving the overall performance of the vehicle; the motor winding is an independent coil and MOSFET is used as a switching switch device to effectively solve the contact resistance between the winding switching, and at the same time, the switching MOSFET corresponding to each group of windings is connected to the source to effectively solve the damage of the back electromotive force to the MOSFET during the winding switching; and the driving principle of the MOSFET is to use isolation drive and fixed PWM bootstrap boost to effectively solve the switching requirements of the MOSFET so that it has the characteristics of small internal resistance and large carrying current during operation.
[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: the Q1 MOSFET and Q2 MOSFET have resistors R1 and R4 as gate drive resistors, and the Q3 MOSFET, Q4 MOSFET and Q9 MOSFET have resistors R2 and R5 as drive resistors.

[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: the ends of the W1 terminal and the W2 terminal are electrically connected to the H3 terminal motor winding terminal and the H6 terminal motor winding terminal respectively.
[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: the Q1 MOSFET, Q2MOSFET, Q3MOSFET, Q4MOSFET, Q5MOSFET, Q6MOSFET, Q7MOSFET, Q8MOSFET, and Q9MOSFET all adopt high-voltage and high-current field effect tubes.
[0015] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The motor switching module determines the connection mode of the U winding, V winding and W winding according to the data uploaded by the driver to control the state of the motor. The default Y connection mode is used when the power is turned on.
[0017] Then the motor starts running at low speed and high torque. The three independent windings change the traditional fixed triangle connection or star connection to maximize the starting power of the vehicle. When the vehicle is running, the motor is connected in two different modes: Y-connection and triangle connection. The switching module receives the real-time data of the motor uploaded by the driver, including the motor speed and running current, so that the motor switches between the low-speed running state and the high-speed running state respectively, and then switches the motor running mode, so that the motor can exert the maximum torque and a wider efficiency platform, thereby improving the overall performance of the vehicle.
[0018] 2. The motor winding is an independent coil and MOSFET is used as a switching switch device to effectively solve the contact resistance between winding switching. At the same time, the switching MOSFET corresponding to each set of windings is connected to the source to effectively solve the damage to the MOSFET caused by the back electromotive force during winding switching. The driving principle of MOSFET is to use isolated drive and fixed PWM bootstrap to effectively solve the switching requirements of MOSFET so that it has the characteristics of small internal resistance and large carrying current during operation.
