An electrical angle detecting apparatus determines an electrical angle &thgr; from voltages Vd, Vq, and currents Id, Iq along a d-axis and a q-axis of a synchronous motor, by using the following expressions: &thgr;=&thgr;(n−1)+k1×&Dgr;Id+k2×&Sgr;(&Dgr;Id) &Dgr;Id=Id(n)−Id(n−1)−t(Vd−R×Id(n−1)+&ohgr;×Lq×Iq(n−1))/Ld; &ohgr;=(k1×&Dgr;Id+k2×&Sgr;(&Dgr;Id))/t where (n−1) indicates a value of each variable at the previous timing; (n) indicates a value at the given timing; R is the resistance of a coil; t is the determination executing period; and k1, k2 are coefficients. This determination makes it easier to set appropriate gains, so that precision improves. Furthermore, the amount of determination reduces, and the processing time shortens.

A power output apparatus 20 includes a clutch motor, an assist motor, and a controller. The clutch motor and the assist motor are controlled by the controller to enable the power output from an engine to a crankshaft 56, and expressed as the product of its revolving speed and torque, to be converted to the power expressed as the product of a revolving speed and a torque of a drive shaft and to be output to the drive shaft. The engine can be driven at an arbitrary driving point defined by a revolving speed and a torque, as long as the energy or power output to the crankshaft is identical. A desired driving point that attains the highest possible efficiency with respect to each amount of output energy is determined in advance. In order to allow the engine to be driven at the desired driving point, the controller controls the clutch motor and the assist motor as well as the fuel injection and the throttle valve position. Such control procedures of the power output apparatus enhance the energy efficiency of the whole power output apparatus.

When there is a change in required torque, the prior art technique may cause the undesirably low accuracy in the sensor-free determination of the electrical angle. A motor controller of the present invention has the following configuration to control the operation of a synchronous motor, in which multi-phase alternating currents flow through coils to rotate a rotor. The motor controller includes an electrical angle determination unit, which applies a voltage for determination to the coils and determines the electrical angle of the rotor in a sensor-free manner, based on the electric currents flowing in response to the applied voltage for determination. The motor controller also has a torque control unit that applies a voltage for torque output to the coils, corresponding to the required torque. An adjustment unit included in the motor controller adjusts the execution timings of the electrical angle determination unit and the torque control unit, so as to prevent the variation in electric current by the torque control unit from affecting the execution of the electrical angle determination unit. One possible procedure schedules the execution timings of the electrical angle determination unit and the torque control unit. Another possible procedure causes the execution of the electrical angle determination unit to wait according to a variation in required torque. This arrangement enables the electrical angle to be determined with a high accuracy even in the case of a torque variation.

When a required torque increases under the condition of high-speed rotation, the conventional technique can not detect an electrical angle or control a synchronous motor in a sensor-less manner. The direction that passes through the rotating axis of the motor and makes a magnetic flux run through a permanent magnet is defined as the d-axis, whereas the direction that is electrically perpendicular to the d-axis in the rotational plane of the motor is defined as the q-axis. The technique of the present invention applies voltages to the d-axis and the q-axis based on an estimated electrical angle and solves voltage equations with the observed electric currents. The technique then calculates a correction amount of the electrical angle according to errors of the arithmetic operations and controls the motor. The arithmetic operations are carried out by varying the inductance according to the required torque of the motor. One concrete procedure determines the inductance corresponding to a specific motor driving state by interpolation of the table that stores the inductances corresponding to a variety of motor driving states. Another concrete procedure substitutes the driving states at the respective time points into the function that represents the relationship between the inductance and the driving state, so as to determine the inductance.

A clutch motor 30 that includes a rotatable outer rotor 32 and a rotatable inner rotor 34 and is driven to carry out power operation or regenerative operation is attached to an output shaft of an engine 50. The output of the clutch motor 30 is transmitted to front wheels 26 and 28 via a drive shaft 22A. An assist motor 40 is directly linked with a drive shaft 22B that transmits power to rear wheels 27 and 29. Slip rotation in the clutch motor 30 enables part of the energy of the engine 50 to be regenerated. The assist motor 40 is driven with at least part of the regenerated energy or energy stored in a battery 94. This structure allows torques to be output to the two different shafts and thereby realizes four-wheel-drive. In accordance with another possible structure, the assist motor 40 regenerates electric power, while the clutch motor 30 carries out over-drive operation. The structure of distributing power of the engine by the clutch motor may be replaced by another structure including a planetary gear 120 and two motors MG1 and MG2 to distribute the power by the planetary gear 120. This structure enables the power to be transmitted to one shaft by the output of the planetary gear 120 and to the other shaft by the output of the second motor MG2, thereby realizing four-wheel-drive.
摘要:
A power output apparatus of the invention includes a clutch motor (30) and an assist motor (40) that allow energy output from an engine (50) driven at a driving point of high efficiency to be converted to energy expressed as the product of a revolving speed and a torque of a drive shaft (22) and to be output to the drive shaft (22). In case that a large torque is required, for example, when the vehicle starts on a rising slope or runs at a low speed, the engine (50) is driven at a high-energy driving point having a large torque and a high efficiency. This structure causes large electric power to be generated by excess energy greater than the energy generally consumed and enables a battery (94) to be charged with the large electric power. The power output apparatus of the invention further has functions of predicting the process of charging the battery (94) with the large electric power based on a driving state of the vehicle and topographical information and lowering the remaining charge of the battery (94) in advance according to the requirements. This process effectively prevents the battery (94) from being damaged with excess charging.

A power output apparatus (20) of the present invention includes an engine (50), a clutch motor (30) connecting with a crankshaft (56) of the engine (50), an assist motor (40) connecting with a drive shaft (22), and a controller (80) for controlling the clutch motor (30) and the assist motor (40). In order to attain stable driving of the engine (50) at a target engine torque and a target engine speed, the engine (50) is feedback controlled with the torque of the clutch motor (30). In the feedback control, a range of scatter of the revolving speed of the crankshaft (56) (that is, a variation in rotation or pulsating torque) due to the pulsating power output from the engine (50) is set as a dead zone. The torque of the clutch motor (30) is accordingly not varied with the variation in rotation of the crankshaft 56 (pulsating torque). This structure effectively prevents the variation in rotation (pulsating torque) from being transmitted to the drive shaft (22).
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for driving and controlling a synchronous motor using permanent magnets as its field system are herein disclosed. When a rotational speed of the synchronous motor using the permanent magnets as the field system is more than a base rotational speed, a current condition computing section computes a field weakening reference current in accordance with a battery voltage, a reference torque and a rotational speed. An inverter performs the field weakening control of the the synchronous motor using the permanent magnets as the field system in accordance with the field weakening reference current sent from the current condition computing section to prevent the deterioration of efficiency and the deficiency of output due to the excessive or insufficient field weakening current. The current condition computing section determines optimum reference current by the use of a converged battery voltage, when the battery voltage is converged to a constant value after initial control.
