[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the topological structure of the charging and discharging system of the open-winding motor of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, Block 1 and Block 2 in the figure are components of the charging and discharging system of this embodiment, wherein Block 1 is a battery unit, Block 2 is an inverter unit, and Block 3 and Block 4 in the figure represent external charging stations, wherein Block 3 is an AC charging subunit or a power grid, and Block 4 is a DC charging subunit.

In the figure, the first converter includes switch tubes Q1 to Q6, and the second converter includes switch tubes Q7 to Q12, and a bridge arm circuit unit and a transformer are also provided. The bridge arm circuit unit is a switch tube Q13 and a switch tube Q14 shown in the figure, the DC end of the bridge arm circuit unit is connected to the battery unit, the AC end of the bridge arm circuit unit is connected to the secondary winding of the transformer Tr1, and the primary winding of the transformer Tr1 is connected to the AC input.

[0032] The open-winding motor is a special motor structure that opens the neutral point of the three-phase stator winding of a traditional AC motor to form a motor with six terminal structures. This motor structure gives the open-winding motor the advantages of high DC voltage utilization, better fault tolerance, multi-level modulation, and high torque density. Even so, its charging function module and drive function module are set separately, which requires more space to accommodate the two systems, limiting the flexibility of electric vehicle design.

[0033] In the charging and discharging system of this embodiment, a bridge arm circuit unit and a transformer are arranged on the original driving component of the open winding motor, the DC end of the bridge arm circuit unit is connected to the battery unit, the AC end of the bridge arm circuit unit is connected to the secondary winding of the transformer, and the primary winding of the transformer is connected to the AC input. The charging and discharging system integrates the charging function in the electric drive, and can work in the driving mode or the charging mode, including the AC charging mode.

[0034] In one example, the open-winding motor is an open-winding motor in a common DC bus topology structure.

[0035] From the perspective of power supply, the open-winding motor with a common DC bus topology only requires one DC source for power supply. Its advantage is that the system has higher voltage utilization and better output characteristics in the high speed range of the motor.

[0036] In one example, a switch is provided between the first converter and the second converter, and the bridge arm circuit unit is provided between the battery unit and the switch. Figure 1 As shown, a switch S4 is provided between the first converter and the second converter, and the bridge arm circuit unit is provided between the battery unit and the switch S4, that is, the bridge arm unit circuit is close to the battery unit side.

[0037] In one example, the switch is a relay, a trigger, or a power semiconductor switch. A relay has an input circuit and an output circuit and is used in automatic control circuits. It is an automatic switch that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. It plays the role of automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion in the circuit. A trigger is an electronic switch used to store and switch circuit states. In a trigger switch, this switching function is used to control the on and off of the circuit.

[0038] The system of this embodiment can work in the following modes, including driving mode, DC charging mode, G2V (AC charging) mode and V2G mode. The details are as follows (for switches, ON means closed, OFF means disconnected; for switch tubes, ON means turned on, OFF means cut off):

[0039] In the drive mode, the states of each component are S1 ON, Q13 and Q14 OFF. Furthermore, in the economy mode, the states of each component are S1 ON for battery unit connection, S4 OFF, Q7, Q9 and Q11 ON, Q8, Q10 and Q12 OFF, at which time the three-phase winding of the motor forms a Y-type connection, Q13 and Q14 OFF, Q1 to Q6 operate as a general three-phase inverter connected to the Y-type motor, as a space vector PWM, etc. In the power mode, the states of each component are S1 ON, S4 ON, Q13 and Q14 OFF, and Q1 to Q12 operate as a six-pin three-phase inverter connected to an open motor, as a space vector PWM, etc.

[0040] In DC charging mode, the status of each component is S1 ON, S2 OFF, S3 ON, S4 On or Off (depending on the voltage level of the DC charging device). Figure 4 As shown, during direct charging, S1ON is used for battery cell connection, S3ON indicates DC charger connection, at this time, the DC charging station can meet the voltage level of the electric vehicle battery, Q13ON, and the solid black line in the figure indicates the charging current. During boost charging, the DC charging station is lower than the battery voltage level of the electric vehicle, S1ON is used for battery cell connection, S3ON indicates DC charger connection, S4OFF, Q7, Q9 and Q11ON, Q13, Q14OFF, Q1 / Q2, Q3 / Q4, Q5 / Q6 can work in synchronous PWM mode or interleaved mode, at this time the current is marked with a dotted line. The transformer Tr1 winding acts as a series inductor during boost charging, which can reduce current ripple, EM torque ripple and power loss.

[0041] In G2V (AC charging) mode, the status of each component is S1 ON, S2 ON, S3 OFF, S4OFF.

[0042] In V2G mode, the status of each component is S1 ON, S2 ON, S3 OFF, S4 OFF.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the charging and discharging system of the open-winding motor of the utility model in the AC charging mode, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in G2V mode / V2G mode, S1 is ON for battery unit connection, S2 is ON for AC charger connection, S4 is OFF, Q7, Q9 and Q11 are ON, Q8, Q10 and Q12 are OFF, the second converter forms the star point of the open winding motor, and the inverter unit operates as a PFC (Power Factor Correction) boost converter. Its charging power can be changed according to the requirements of single-phase / two-phase / three-phase operation, and Q1~Q6, Q13, Q14 and transformer Tr1 winding are used as PFC boost converter single-phase / two-phase / three-phase switching.

[0044] Figures 5 to 8 This is a schematic diagram of the system in AC charging mode. In order to simplify and make it easier to understand the status of each AC charging mode, Figures 5 to 8 Only one bridge arm is used as an example for explanation. In the figure, AC charger is the secondary winding of the transformer, which is induced into AC power, and L is the one-phase / two-phase / three-phase winding of the motor. The switches Q1 and Q2 in the figure represent one or more bridge arms in the first converter, for example, they can be Figure 1 The bridge arm composed of switch tubes Q1 and Q2 can also be Figure 1 The bridge arm is composed of the middle switch tubes Q3 and Q4. Figures 5 to 8 The switch tubes Q3 and Q4 in the figure represent the bridge arm circuit unit, that is, Figure 1 The switch tubes Q13 and Q14 in the circuit. Specifically, Figure 5 Working in the positive phase, the switch tubes Q2 and Q4 are ON. Figure 6 Working in the positive phase, the switch tubes Q1 and Q4 are ON. Figure 7 Working in the negative phase, the switch tubes Q1 and Q3 are ON. Figure 8 Working in the negative phase part, at this time, the switch tubes Q2 and Q3 are ON.

Operation mode 1: Q7, Q9, Q11 ON, Q8, Q10, Q12 OFF, Q13, Q14 OFF, Q1 / Q2, Q3 / Q4, Q5 / Q6 can work in synchronous PWM mode or interleaved mode. Or operation mode 2 (shown by the dotted line): Q1~Q12 OFF, Q13, Q14 and transformer Tr1 winding (as boost inductor) act as a boost converter.

[0046] In one example, the bridge arm circuit unit is a series-connected switch tube or diode. Fig.10 As shown, Q13 and Q14 may be fast reverse recovery diodes D1 and D2.

[0047] In one example, the switch tube includes a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor), an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), or a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor).

[0048] BJT has lower noise and higher linearity, and performs well in circuits that require high precision and low noise. IGBT has significant advantages in high voltage and high current power electronics applications. MOSFET has the characteristics of high input impedance, low noise and easy integration.

[0049] In one example, the transformer Tr1 is an isolation transformer. The isolation transformer isolates the input and output circuits to achieve electrical isolation and voltage conversion, and includes an input winding, an output winding, and a magnetic core. There is no electrical connection between the input winding and the output winding, and they achieve electrical isolation through the interaction of the magnetic field of the magnetic core.
