[0046] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0047] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Firstly, such as Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, a motor controller is proposed, including: a current acquisition module 100, a conditioning module 200, a rectification module 300, an overcurrent judgment module 400, and a control module 500; the current acquisition module 100 is connected to the motor and the conditioning module 200 respectively, the conditioning module 200 is connected to the rectification module 300, the rectification module 300 is connected to the overcurrent judgment module 400, the overcurrent judgment module 400 is connected to the control module 500, and the control module 500 is connected to the motor 10.

[0049] The current acquisition module 100 includes multiple Hall current sensors for acquiring the three-phase current of the motor 10. The control module 500 includes a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) or an FPGA, but CPLDs are less expensive and can better reduce costs. The control module 500 controls the motor 10 using pulse width modulation (PWM) signals.

[0050] Hall current sensors are based on the magnetic balance Hall principle. According to the Hall effect, when a current Ic is passed through the control current terminal of the Hall element and a magnetic field with magnetic induction intensity B is applied in the normal direction of the Hall element plane, a potential Vh will be generated in the direction perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field (i.e., between the Hall output terminals). This potential is called the Hall potential, and its magnitude is proportional to the product of the control current Ic and the magnetic induction intensity B. The current can be determined in this way.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the conditioning module 200 includes: a first conditioning unit 201 and a second conditioning unit 202; the input terminals of the first conditioning unit 201 and the second conditioning unit 202 are both connected to the current acquisition module 100; the output terminals of the first conditioning unit 201 and the second conditioning unit 202 are both connected to the rectifier module 300.

[0052] The conditioning module 200 also includes a third conditioning unit 203 or an amplification unit 204. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the conditioning module 200 also includes a third conditioning unit 203, the input terminal of the third conditioning unit 203 is connected to the current acquisition module 100, and the output terminal is connected to the rectifier module 300. Figure 4 As shown, when the conditioning module 200 further includes an amplification unit 204, one input terminal of the amplification unit 204 is connected to one of the first conditioning unit 201 and the second conditioning unit 202, the other input terminal is connected to the other of the first conditioning unit 201 and the second conditioning unit 202, and the output terminal is connected to the rectifier module 300. The amplification unit 204 includes a fifth amplifier, which is an operational amplifier.

[0053] The number of Hall current sensors in the current acquisition module 100 corresponds to the number of conditioning units in the conditioning module 200. That is, if the conditioning module 200 includes a first conditioning unit 201, a second conditioning unit 202, and an amplification unit 204, then the number of Hall current sensors in the current acquisition module 100 is 2. If the conditioning module 200 includes a first conditioning unit 201, a second conditioning unit 202, and a third conditioning unit 203, then the number of Hall current sensors in the current acquisition module 100 is 3.

The other end of the fifteenth resistor R15 and one end of the sixth capacitor C6 are both connected to the second voltage terminal V2. The other end of the sixth capacitor C6 is connected to the ground terminal. The ground terminal in the voltage regulation subunit 213 is the analog ground terminal AGND.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the voltage follower subunit 214 includes a fourth amplifier U4. The positive input terminal of the fourth amplifier U4 is connected to the other end of the fifth resistor, and the negative input terminal of the fourth amplifier U4 is connected to the output terminal. The output terminal of the fourth amplifier U4 is also connected to the clamping subunit 215. The positive input terminal of the fourth amplifier U4 is connected to... The power supply range for the fourth amplifier U4 is an analog voltage greater than or equal to -15V to less than or equal to +15V.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the clamping subunit 215 includes: a sixteenth resistor R16, a third diode D3, a fourth diode D4, and a seventh capacitor C7.

The cathode of the third diode D3 is also connected to the second voltage terminal V2. The other end of the fourth capacitor C4 and the anode of the fourth diode D4 are both connected to ground. The second voltage terminal V2 is used to output a +3.3V analog voltage as the clamping voltage. The conditioned signal Ibo is output to the rectifier module 300. The ground terminals in the clamping subunit 215 are all analog ground terminals AGND. The clamping subunit 215 is also used for filtering.

[0061] Amplifiers U1, U2, U3, and U4 are all operational amplifiers. Amplifiers U1 and U2 can be two independent operational amplifiers or a single dual-channel operational amplifier. Similarly, Amplifiers U3 and U4 can be two independent operational amplifiers or a single dual-channel operational amplifier. An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a circuit unit with very high amplification. In practical circuits, it is usually combined with a feedback network to form a functional module. It is an amplifier with special coupling circuitry and feedback; its output signal can be the result of mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, differentiation, or integration of the input signal.

[0062] The conditioning module 200 is designed using operational amplifiers and peripheral circuitry. First, the proportional adjustment subunit 212 adjusts the output voltage of the current sensor to within the acceptable voltage range of the processing module (such as a digital signal processor, DSP). Low-pass filtering is performed by the tenth resistor R10 and the fourth capacitor C4 in the filtering subunit 211. Then, proportional adjustment is performed by the eleventh resistor R11, twelfth resistor R12, thirteenth resistor R13, fifth capacitor C5, and the third amplifier U3 in the proportional adjustment subunit 212. Next, the +3.3V analog voltage output from the second voltage terminal V2 and the fourteenth resistor R14 and fifteenth resistor R15 in the voltage adjustment subunit 213 adjust the voltage output of the proportional adjustment subunit 212 to 0V, within the acceptable range for the processing module. Afterwards, the voltage follower subunit 214 buffers, isolates, and improves the load-carrying capacity. Finally, filtering and clamping are performed by the sixteenth resistor R16, the seventh capacitor C7, and the third diode D3 in the clamping subunit 215.

The power supply range for the first amplifier U1 is an analog voltage greater than or equal to -15V to less than or equal to +15V.

[0071] Both comparators B1 and B2 are voltage comparators. They can be two independent voltage comparators or a single dual-channel voltage comparator. A voltage comparator is a circuit that distinguishes and compares input signals. It is a basic unit circuit for forming non-sinusoidal wave generators. The comparator directly compares the quantities at the two input terminals. If the non-inverting input is greater than the inverting input, the output is high; otherwise, the output is low. Commonly used voltage comparators include single-limit comparators, hysteresis comparators, window comparators, and tri-state voltage comparators.

[0072] The overcurrent detection module 400 employs a voltage comparator to form a hysteresis comparator circuit.

Furthermore, corresponding overcurrent protection trigger values ​​and recovery values ​​are set for the positive current detection unit 401 and the negative current detection unit 402 to avoid current oscillation near the protection value. The reference voltage output at the reference voltage terminal Vref is generated using a precision voltage reference chip. By employing a hysteresis comparator, the overcurrent detection module 400 avoids oscillation problems near the protection value.

[0073] like Figure 9 As shown, the embodiments of this application also include a processing module 600; the processing module 600 is connected to the conditioning module 200, the overcurrent judgment module 400, and the control module 500. The output terminals of the first comparator B1, the second comparator B2, and the other end of the sixteenth resistor R16 in the clamping subunit 215 are all connected to the processing module 600.

[0074] The processing module 600 includes a digital signal processor (DSP), a microcontroller, or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), but digital signal processors are cheaper and can better reduce costs.

[0075] The implementation of this application acquires three-phase current through a Hall current sensor in the current acquisition module. A conditioning module adjusts the acquired signal to a suitable voltage range. The conditioned signal is then output to the processing and rectifier modules. Subsequently, an overcurrent protection signal is output to the control and processing modules via a current judgment module. The control module triggers circuit-level protection, while the processing module performs corresponding software protection. By introducing a complex programmable logic device in the control module and a digital signal processor in the processing module for data judgment and execution, redundant design of hardware and software overcurrent judgment is achieved, thereby improving reliability.

[0076] The rectifier device in this application embodiment is a diode, which can also be replaced by a thyristor, IGBT or MOSFET, but diodes are cheaper and can better reduce costs.

[0077] Secondly, according to an embodiment of this application, a vehicle is proposed, including a motor controller as described in the first aspect.

[0078] The vehicles include electric vehicles (electrically driven vehicles) and new energy vehicles.

[0079] The advantages of this embodiment are that by filtering, proportionally adjusting, and rectifying the current collected by the current acquisition module through the conditioning module and the rectification module, safety is improved; by using the overcurrent judgment module and the control module, rapid adjustment of the motor and rapid protection of the circuit can be achieved, enhancing reliability. The overcurrent judgment module outputs the judgment value to the control module, thereby triggering circuit-level protection functions such as wave blocking. Simultaneously, the overcurrent judgment module outputs the judgment value to the processing module for corresponding judgment and control. The output value of the conditioning module, in addition to being transmitted to the overcurrent judgment module, is also transmitted to the processing module for software overcurrent protection judgment. The implementation method of this application effectively realizes overcurrent protection for high-voltage motor controllers, unifies the overvoltage comparison of three-phase currents, and is low-cost. The overcurrent judgment module uses a hysteresis comparator to avoid the problem of current oscillation near the protection value. While using the control module for hardware circuit protection, the processing module also performs software sampling overcurrent protection, improving reliability. The unified judgment of overcurrent in the three-phase current by the overcurrent judgment module reduces the cost of use. The introduction of complex programmable logic devices in the control module achieves rapid circuit-level protection. The three-phase current is rectified by using a positive voltage follower unit and a negative voltage follower unit in the rectifier module, thereby reducing circuit costs.
