A control apparatus for electric vehicles by using a chopper circuit which turns on or off a d-c drive motor responsive to the instruction of a microcomputer.The control apparatus of the present invention is characterized by the provision of a protection device. The protection device comprises means for generating a predetermined signal, means for adding the predetermined signal to a signal which varies depending upon the stepped-in amount of the accelerator pedal, means for comparing the added signal with an output signal of a current detector which detects a current that flows into the d-c drive motor, and means which sets the microcomputer when the output signal of the current detector is greater than the added signal and which permits the microcomputer to start again its operation after a predetermined period of time has passed.

A device for detecting a load torque using angle detectors fitted with a certain spacing on a shaft which is rotated by a drive source and on the basis of a relative angular difference of angles detected by the angle detectors. The device includes two rotary drums or discs fitted with a certain spacing on the drive side and load side of the shaft, with a plurality of magnetic poles for generating magnetic signals being formed on the surface thereof, and a magnetic sensor disposed to confront the surface of the rotary drums or discs, with magnetic resistance effect elements which vary in internal resistance in response to the magnetism of the magnetic poles being provided thereon. The amount of torsion created by the load on the load side of the rotary shaft is measured as a phase difference of outputs of the magnetic sensor, and the torque is detected in terms of the angular difference between the magnetic drums or discs. The device is operative to detect a torque in both storage and rotation, and capable of detection within a period of magnetic signal, whereby high-accuracy, high-resolution torque detection is made possible.

The operative condition certifying means is provided with means for supplying the commutation failure detecting means with a checking signal corresponding to a signal which is applied to the commutation failure detecting means upon the occurrence of the commutation failure so that whether the protective system is in a normally operative or valid condition can be certified at any time desired.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for driving an electric vehicle having a synchronous traction motor. A peak value of induced electromotive force of the synchronous motor at a maximum allowable rotating speed is set to a value which is lower than an allowable voltage of the smoothing capacitor of the inverter and lower than a maximum allowable voltage of the power switching elements composing the inverter. The synchronous motor is thus constructed so that a peak value V0max of the maximum induced electromotive force at the maximum allowable rotating speed N2 of the synchronous motor satisfies a relation of V0max≦VCmax where VCmax is an allowable voltage of the smoothing capacitor.
