摘要:
This disclosure describes an improved electrical power apparatus for assisting a rider in powering a wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle. The apparatus controllably connects a rechargeable battery to a dc motor engageable with a wheel of the vehicle in a predetermined fashion, such that the wheel is driven with a torque that varies with the vehicle's speed according to a predetermined non-uniform profile. This control advantageously can be achieved by modulating on and off a switch at a duty cycle between 0% and 100%, which is selected to provide a motor torque that decreases monotonically with the vehicle's speed, from a maximum value at zero speed to a predetermined intermediate value at a predetermined intermediate speed, and that remains at that predetermined intermediate value for speeds between the intermediate speed and a predetermined maximum speed. The apparatus further includes a charger for charging the battery using a flyback-type dc-to-dc converter.

A vehicle anti-lock braking (ABS) system having a motor-driven pump (10) for providing a hydraulic supply to the ABS system. The pump motor (10) is controlled by a series device in the form of an electronic switch (16), such as a MOSFET, to enable frequent testing of the motor circuit by short pulses which produce no significant noise. Feedback to control motor speed is obtained by measuring the e.m.f. generated by the motor (16) after it has been switched off and after a delay to allow the back e.m.f., caused by switching off the motor, to decay (preferably to zero) before the measurement operation begins. The generated voltage is integrated during a motor switch-off period, the motor speed being established in this period by subtracting the measured integrated voltage when acting as a generator from the main supply voltage (B+) . The ignition switch-controlled supply within the vehicle electrical system only operates a logic gate (40) to control the supply of direct battery power to the vehicle voltage regulator (36), the pump motor circuit and its electronic controller (16) being connected directly to the battery supply (B+) whereby to act as an energy sink to protect all silicon devices in the electrical control system except the ignition circuit logic gate means.

A regulation system for controlling a dc motor having a separately excited armature and field includes microprocessor based pulse width (duty cycle) and frequency modulation control of an armature amplifier and a field amplifier. Motor operating efficiency is optimized through microprocessor control of the field amplifier as a function of actual armature current, actual field current and desired armature speed. Sensed armature current is multiplied by a fixed optimal field constant to generate an optimal field current control signal. The optimal field current control signal is summed with a signal representative of field current required for desired armature speed less a signal representative of actual field current to generate a field current error signal. A controller receives the field current error signal and generates a pulse width modulated field current control effort signal which is applied to the field amplifier. An armature voltage controller receives an input signal which is the difference between desired armature speed and actual armature speed. The input signal is generated only when actual field current exceeds a predetermined field saturation current value. The controller generates a pulse width modulated armature control effort signal which is applied to the armature amplifier only if actual armature current is below the maximum allowable armature current.
