The invention provides a variable speed hydraulic pump designed to operate at a maximum horsepower throughout its pressure range by adjusting motor speed according to motor load parameters. In particular, the variable speed hydraulic pump includes a hydraulic pump unit coupled to a variable speed electric motor by a drive unit and to a hydraulic fluid tank for pressurizing and pumping hydraulic fluid when operated by the motor. A motor controller is electrically connected to the motor to supply drive signals to the motor based on electrical characteristics of the drive signals which are dependent on the load exerted on the motor. Suction from the load is provided by both the main pump and a bidirectional supercharging pump by reversing the direction of the motor and shifting a 4 / 3 valve to connect the main pump inlet to the load and its outlet to tank. In addition, the controller reduces the motor speed at the maximum rated pressure to just maintain the pressure, to reduce the amount of fluid pumped through the maximum pressure relief valve.

The invention discloses a parking path planning method and parking motion control method of an auxiliary parking system. A multi-stage smooth parking path which is designed through the parking path planning method based on the B-spline theory meets multiple non-linear constraints such as a vehicle obstacle avoidance constraint, a minimum turning radius constraint and a maximum steering speed constraint; through the path curvature continuity, a pivot steering phenomenon is avoided, and tire wear and steering motor loads are reduced; through the multi-stage smoothness of the path, vehicle tracking is easy to achieve. According to the parking motion control strategy, the requirements of the parking system for the parking speed of a driver are lowered, and the driver only needs to control a vehicle to be driven at low speed. For the phenomenon that in the parking process, the vehicle deviates from the target path and cannot park in the correct position due to the fact that the vehicle speed is too high, a vehicle position posture adjusting strategy based on fixed-point tracking control is presented, and therefore the parking success rate is increased; in addition, fixed-point tracking control is adopted, therefore, the vehicle can be parked to be parallel to a parking space, and vehicle parking standardization is achieved.

A system and method are provided for reducing the energy consumed by a pump jack electric motor by reducing the supply voltage to the motor when the motor would be generating energy in open loop mode. By substantially eliminating the energy generation mode, the braking action of the utility grid in limiting the acceleration of the motor and system that would otherwise occur is substantially removed. The motor and system will speed up, allowing the natural kinetic energy of the cyclic motion to perform part of the pumping action. A closed loop controller in electrical connection with the motor computes the necessary information from the observed phase angle between the voltage and current supplied to the motor. By reducing the supply voltage to the motor, the observed phase angle may be reduced to a target phase angle value. By allowing some current flow, primarily of a reactive nature, an observable feedback parameter may be used in the closed loop control system as an indication of the load condition, to which the closed loop motor controller may react, supplying power when needed, such as in the energy consumption mode. The electric motor may be effectively turned off, but without completely cutting the power to the motor. During both the energy consumption mode and the period that open loop energy generation would be occurring, the closed loop motor controller may reduce the observed phase angle to a target phase angle by reducing the supply voltage. Any further reduction in the observed phase angle below the target phase angle may be interpreted as an increase in motor load, to which the motor controller may respond by increasing the supply voltage to the motor until the target phase angle is once again reached.

The invention discloses a wide range speed control system and current distribution method for a hybrid excitation synchronous machine. A control policy is applied to armature drive and excitation drive simultaneously. When the motor is in the starting period, a rated forward magnetism strengthening current is applied to the exciting winding to increase the starting torque of the motor, so that the motor obtains electromagnetic torque exceeding the rated torque under the condition of no overcurrent, and the transition time of motor starting is shortened. When the motor is in the low speed operating interval, if the motor load exceeds the rated load, the electromagnetic torque of the motor is increased by applied the forward magnetism strengthening current, so that the motor obtains excessive loading capacity under the condition of no overcurrent and no overheat. When the motor operates at high speed, a constant power operating interval far above the rated rotating speed can be obtainedby applying an appropriate reverse exciting current to HESM (Hybrid Excitation Synchronous Machine) and performing weak magnetic regulation on the d-axis armature current.

Low energy non-interference unbiased shear process employing a thin dull blade laterally moving between upper and lower stators. Blades and stators are not biased or pressed together while cutting, as is done with a pair of scissors. Instead, the dull cutting blade is guidingly supported by said upper and lower stators, and the upper and lower stators are sized and formed such that a thickness of a cutting zone (M) formed therebetween exceeds the thickness of a blade zone (VZ) formed by the dull cutting blade, by a total controlled gap (Z) of preferably between 1 and 5 mils (0.0254-0.127 mm). The cutting blade is preferably thin in relation to grass cross section, preferably 10 to 50 mils (0.254 mm-1.27 mm). This arrangement provides two true shearing sites for grass at upper and lower leading edges of the blade. Adequate blade swipe frequency is provided, with gentle C-shape blade profiles yielding self-cleaning blades with lower running friction. Tensile failure of the grass is avoided. A torque management system performs motor load monitoring and modulation of blade position. To reject obstructions and clean the blade, the blade can be made to reverse direction, jitter, or reciprocate. Instead of attempting to slice or slam through obstructions using a high energy, high torque prime mover, a low energy low torque prime mover is utilized in conjunction with an intelligent reversing, obstruction clearing, and blade cleaning system that saves energy, reduces noise, frees and rejects obstructions, avoids high power surges and prevents blade damage or operator injury.

A method for controlling an electric vehicle includes computing an electric motor RPM based on a computed Back Electromotive Force (BEMF). Modern electric vehicle designs include intelligent control of the electric motors and transmissions to respond to operator controls and provide efficient operation to extend battery life. An accurate measure of motor RPM is required for such control. Various methods are available for obtaining motor RPM, but most require external sensors susceptible to damage from road debris and the like. The BEMF is proportional to motor speed and independent of motor load. The BEMF may further be computed from the difference between IR loss and motor voltage. The motor RPM is them computed from BEMF using data recorded for the individual motor.
