Description

この発明は、直流電力を交流電力に変換して電動機へ駆動電力を供給するインバータ装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an inverter device that converts DC power into AC power and supplies drive power to an electric motor.

近年、内燃機関の出力を増加させるために吸気通路上に電動過給機を設けた車両や電気自動車など、電動機により駆動される車両が開発されている。そして、この車両に電動機へ駆動電力を供給するためにインバータ装置が搭載されている。
前記インバータ装置は、駆動用バッテリによって高電圧で大電流の電力が供給される駆動回路部と、鉛バッテリで構成される制御用バッテリによって電力が供給される制御回路部や車載電機器で構成されており、駆動用バッテリから電力供給された駆動回路部の一部が短絡した状態で、駆動用バッテリと駆動回路部間のリレーを接続または接続を継続すると、大電流により電源ケーブルや駆動回路部が発煙、発火する恐れがある。
In recent years, in order to increase the output of an internal combustion engine, vehicles driven by an electric motor such as a vehicle provided with an electric supercharger on an intake passage and an electric vehicle have been developed. An inverter device is mounted to supply driving power to the motor to the vehicle.
The inverter device includes a drive circuit unit that is supplied with high-voltage and high-current power by a drive battery, a control circuit unit that is supplied with power by a control battery including a lead battery, and an in-vehicle electric device. When a relay between the drive battery and the drive circuit unit is connected or connected in a state where a part of the drive circuit unit supplied with power from the drive battery is short-circuited, a large current causes a power cable or drive circuit unit May cause smoke or fire.

例えば特開2010−148318号公報(特許文献1)には、第1直流電源装置と第2直流電源装置の間にDC/DCコンバータを設け、このDC/DCコンバータに接続された電流センサに流れる過電流を検出し、DC/DC駆動用バッテリのリレーを開閉することで、過電流が連続して流れることを防止する技術が開示されている。   For example, in JP 2010-148318 A (Patent Document 1), a DC / DC converter is provided between a first DC power supply device and a second DC power supply device, and the current flows through a current sensor connected to the DC / DC converter. A technique is disclosed in which overcurrent is prevented from flowing continuously by detecting an overcurrent and opening and closing a relay of a DC / DC drive battery.

また、例えば特開平9−284902号公報(特許文献2)には、駆動用バッテリとコントローラの間に大電流用と小電流用の2系統のヒューズとリレーを備え、バッテリ末期の短絡電流が低下した状況でもヒューズが切れるようにして短絡の発生を防止する技術が開示されている。   Further, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-284902 (Patent Document 2), a two-system fuse and a relay for large current and small current are provided between a driving battery and a controller, and the short-circuit current at the end of the battery is reduced. In such a situation, a technique for preventing the occurrence of a short circuit by blowing a fuse is disclosed.

しかし、前記特許文献1に開示されたDC/DCコンバータシステムでは、過電流を検出するまで高圧の第1直流電源装置を短絡し、大電流が流れ続ける問題がある。また、DC/DCコンバータや電流センサが必要となる。   However, the DC / DC converter system disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that a high current continues to flow by short-circuiting the high-voltage first DC power supply device until an overcurrent is detected. In addition, a DC / DC converter and a current sensor are required.

また、前記特許文献2に開示された電気自動車の短絡検出回路では、短絡検出回路を構成する部品が中途半端な故障をした場合、ヒューズが溶断せず、駆動用バッテリから過電流が流れ続けるという問題がある。   In addition, in the short circuit detection circuit for an electric vehicle disclosed in Patent Document 2, if a component constituting the short circuit detection circuit fails halfway, the fuse does not blow and overcurrent continues to flow from the drive battery. There's a problem.

この発明は、前記の課題に鑑み、駆動回路部が短絡した場合、電動機の停止中、駆動中に関わらず小電流で安全に短絡を検出できるインバータ装置を提供するものである。   In view of the above-described problems, the present invention provides an inverter device that can detect a short circuit safely with a small current regardless of whether the motor is stopped or driven when the drive circuit unit is short-circuited.

A semiconductor element connected between the voltage power supply and the drive circuit unit, a diode connected to the anode of the semiconductor element, a diode connected to the cathode of the drive circuit unit, and a short circuit in the drive circuit unit A voltage drop detection unit that detects a drop in the output voltage of the constant voltage power supply, and when the voltage drop detection unit detects a drop in the output voltage of the constant voltage power supply, the semiconductor element and the driving battery And a relay control unit that opens a relay connected between the diode and the diode.

この発明に係るインバータ装置によれば、駆動回路部の電源ラインに接続された定電圧電源の出力電圧の低下を検出し、定電圧電源の出力、及びメインバッテリと駆動回路部間の接続を開放することにより、電動機の停止中、駆動中に関わらず小電流で安全に短絡を検出することができる。   According to the inverter device of the present invention, a drop in the output voltage of the constant voltage power supply connected to the power supply line of the drive circuit unit is detected, and the output of the constant voltage power supply and the connection between the main battery and the drive circuit unit are opened. By doing so, it is possible to detect a short circuit safely with a small current regardless of whether the motor is stopped or driven.

The ECU 4 is a controller unit that comprehensively performs electrical control in engine operation such as engine fuel injection and ignition timing. In this embodiment, the ECU 5 receives the notification of short circuit detection from the inverter device 2 and controls the vehicle, and commands the inverter device 2 to drive the motor 4 and to perform a power generation operation.

インバータ装置2は、鉛バッテリ3から電力が供給される制御回路部21と駆動用バッテリ7から電力が供給される駆動回路部22を備え、電動機6の駆動、発電およびリレー8の制御を行う。   The inverter device 2 includes a control circuit unit 21 to which electric power is supplied from the lead battery 3 and a drive circuit unit 22 to which electric power is supplied from the driving battery 7, and controls driving of the electric motor 6, power generation, and relay 8.

図2は、インバータ装置2の詳細構成図で、同図に基づいてインバータ装置2の短絡検出回路について説明する。   FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of the inverter device 2, and a short circuit detection circuit of the inverter device 2 will be described based on FIG.

制御回路部21は、鉛バッテリ3の電圧を降圧する電源IC211と、リレー8の制御信号や電動機6の駆動信号を生成するマイコン212と、駆動回路部22に駆動信号を出力するプリドライバ213と、駆動回路部22の電源ラインと接続されるダイオード214と、電源IC211の第1定電圧電源211aとダイオード214の接続を制御する定電圧接続半導体素子215と、リレー8を制御するリレー接続半導体素子216とから主に構成される。   The control circuit unit 21 includes a power supply IC 211 that steps down the voltage of the lead battery 3, a microcomputer 212 that generates a control signal for the relay 8 and a drive signal for the electric motor 6, and a pre-driver 213 that outputs a drive signal to the drive circuit unit 22. The diode 214 connected to the power supply line of the drive circuit unit 22, the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 for controlling the connection between the first constant voltage power supply 211 a of the power supply IC 211 and the diode 214, and the relay connection semiconductor element for controlling the relay 8 216.

電源IC211は、2つ以上の定電圧電源を備えており、前記第1定電圧電源211aは短絡検出として用い、少なくとも1つの第2定電圧電源211bはマイコン212に電力を供給する。第1定電圧電源211aは、第2定電圧電源211b以下の低電圧で、数A以下の電流制限があり、この電流制限を超えた場合に出力電圧が低下する電源である。   The power supply IC 211 includes two or more constant voltage power supplies. The first constant voltage power supply 211 a is used for short circuit detection, and at least one second constant voltage power supply 211 b supplies power to the microcomputer 212. The first constant voltage power supply 211a is a power supply that has a low voltage lower than the second constant voltage power supply 211b and has a current limit of several A or less, and the output voltage decreases when the current limit is exceeded.

マイコン212は、第1定電圧電源211aの電圧をA/Dコンバータなどで読み込み、予め設定された低電圧検出値と比較する電圧低下検出部212aと、電圧低下検出部212aの指令に従い、定電圧接続半導体素子215とリレー接続半導体素子216のオン、オフを制御するリレー制御部212bと、電動機6の駆動信号を生成する駆動信号生成部212cと、ECU5との通信手段を備えたCPU、RAM、ROMなど(図示せず)を備えた算術論理演算可能回路である。   The microcomputer 212 reads the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a with an A / D converter or the like, compares it with a preset low voltage detection value, and follows a command from the voltage drop detection unit 212a. A CPU, a RAM, and a relay controller 212b for controlling on / off of the connection semiconductor element 215 and the relay connection semiconductor element 216, a drive signal generation unit 212c for generating a drive signal for the electric motor 6, and a communication means with the ECU 5; This is an arithmetic and logic circuit that includes a ROM or the like (not shown).

プリドライバ213は、マイコン212の駆動信号を駆動回路部22に適したゲート電圧に変換し、出力する。ダイオード214は、アノードが定電圧接続半導体素子215と接続され、カソードが駆動回路部22の電源ラインと接続されており、駆動用バッテリ7の電圧は、第1定電圧電源211aの電圧より十分高いため、リレー8を接続しても第1定電圧電源211aから電流が流れることはない。一方で、電動機6の停止中は勿論、電動機6が駆動中に駆動回路部22が短絡した場合、第1定電圧電源211aから短絡電流が流れるため、電動機6が駆動中でも短絡検出することが可能である。   The pre-driver 213 converts the drive signal of the microcomputer 212 into a gate voltage suitable for the drive circuit unit 22 and outputs it. The diode 214 has an anode connected to the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 and a cathode connected to the power supply line of the drive circuit unit 22, and the voltage of the drive battery 7 is sufficiently higher than the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a. Therefore, even if the relay 8 is connected, no current flows from the first constant voltage power supply 211a. On the other hand, when the drive circuit unit 22 is short-circuited while the motor 6 is being driven as well as when the motor 6 is stopped, a short-circuit current flows from the first constant voltage power supply 211a, so that the short-circuit can be detected even when the motor 6 is being driven. It is.

定電圧接続半導体素子215は、pnpトランジスタやPチャネルMOSFETで構成されている。そして、通常はリレー制御部212bによりオンしており、短絡を検出した場合、定電圧接続半導体素子215をオフすることで第1定電圧電源211aの出力を開放し、短絡状態を解除することが可能である。   The constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 is configured by a pnp transistor or a P-channel MOSFET. Normally, it is turned on by the relay control unit 212b, and when a short circuit is detected, the output of the first constant voltage power supply 211a can be released by turning off the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 to release the short circuit state. Is possible.

リレー制御半導体素子216は、npnトランジスタやNチャネルMOSFETで構成され、リレー制御部212bに従い、オン、オフすることでリレー8を接続、開放する。   The relay control semiconductor element 216 includes an npn transistor and an N-channel MOSFET, and connects and opens the relay 8 by turning on and off according to the relay control unit 212b.

駆動回路部22は、電動機6を駆動、発電する6つパワー半導体素子221と、平滑コンデンサ222とから主に構成される。パワー半導体素子221は、NチャネルMOSFETやIGBTで構成されており、プリドライバ213の駆動信号に応じて電動機6の各相の巻き線に電力を供給することで回転体を駆動する。   The drive circuit unit 22 mainly includes six power semiconductor elements 221 that drive and generate electric power from the electric motor 6 and a smoothing capacitor 222. The power semiconductor element 221 is configured by an N-channel MOSFET or IGBT, and drives the rotating body by supplying power to the windings of each phase of the electric motor 6 in accordance with the drive signal of the pre-driver 213.

平滑コンデンサ222は、セラミックコンデンサやフィルムコンデンサや電解コンデンサで構成されており、パワー半導体素子221のスイッチングによる変動を平滑化する。   The smoothing capacitor 222 is composed of a ceramic capacitor, a film capacitor, or an electrolytic capacitor, and smoothes fluctuations caused by switching of the power semiconductor element 221.

実施の形態1に係るインバータ装置100は前記のように構成されており、次にその動作について説明する。
図3は、リレー8および定電圧接続半導体素子215の制御処理を示すフローチャートであり、同図に基づいて具体的な制御を説明する。
The inverter device 100 according to the first embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described next.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control process of the relay 8 and the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215. Specific control will be described based on the same figure.

まず、ステップS201で、定電圧接続半導体素子215を接続した状態から始まる。   First, in step S201, the process starts from a state in which the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 is connected.

次のステップS202では、電圧低下検出部212aにおいて第1定電圧電源211aの電圧と、予め設定された低電圧検出値を比較し、第1定電圧電源211aの電圧の方が大きい場合、次ステップS203へ進む。低電圧検出値の方が大きい場合、駆動回路部22が短絡していると判断し、ステップS209に進み、リレー制御部212bにおいてリレー8、定電圧接続半導体素子215を開放し、ステップS210に進む。そして、異常検出終了をECU5へ通知する。   In the next step S202, the voltage drop detection unit 212a compares the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a with a preset low voltage detection value. If the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a is larger, the next step The process proceeds to S203. If the low voltage detection value is larger, it is determined that the drive circuit unit 22 is short-circuited, and the process proceeds to step S209. The relay control unit 212b opens the relay 8 and the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215, and the process proceeds to step S210. . Then, the ECU 5 is notified of the end of abnormality detection.

ステップS203では、リレー制御部212bは駆動回路部22に短絡がないと判断してリレー接続半導体素子216を制御し、リレー8を接続することで駆動回路部22に駆動用バッテリ7の電力が供給される。   In step S203, the relay control unit 212b determines that there is no short circuit in the drive circuit unit 22, controls the relay-connected semiconductor element 216, and supplies the power of the drive battery 7 to the drive circuit unit 22 by connecting the relay 8. Is done.

次のステップS204では、駆動信号生成部212cで電動機6の駆動信号を生成し、プリドライバ213を介して電動機6を駆動状態とする。   In the next step S204, the drive signal generator 212c generates a drive signal for the electric motor 6 and puts the electric motor 6 into a drive state via the pre-driver 213.

次のステップS205では、電動機6の駆動中に電圧低下検出部212aにおいて第1定電圧電源211aの電圧と、予め設定された低電圧検出値を比較し、第1定電圧電源211aの電圧の方が大きい場合、ステップS206へ進む。低電圧検出値の方が大きい場合、駆動回路部22が短絡していると判断し、ステップS209に進み、リレー8、定電圧接続半導体素子215を開放し、ステップS210に進む。そして、異常検出終了をECU5へ通知する。   In the next step S205, the voltage drop detection unit 212a compares the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a with a preset low voltage detection value during driving of the electric motor 6, and the voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a is compared. If is larger, the process proceeds to step S206. When the low voltage detection value is larger, it is determined that the drive circuit unit 22 is short-circuited, the process proceeds to step S209, the relay 8 and the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 are opened, and the process proceeds to step S210. Then, the ECU 5 is notified of the end of abnormality detection.

次のステップS206では、電動機6の停止要求有無を確認し、停止要求有りの場合、ステップS207に進む。停止要求無しの場合、ステップS205に戻り、短絡検出していないか確認しながら電動機6の駆動を継続する。   In the next step S206, it is confirmed whether or not there is a stop request for the electric motor 6. If there is a stop request, the process proceeds to step S207. When there is no stop request | requirement, it returns to step S205 and continues the drive of the electric motor 6, confirming whether the short circuit is detected.

次のステップS207では、電動機6の停止要求に従い、駆動信号生成部212cが駆動信号の生成を停止し、電動機6を停止する。   In the next step S207, in accordance with a request to stop the electric motor 6, the drive signal generation unit 212c stops generating the drive signal and stops the electric motor 6.

次のステップS208では、リレー8、定電圧接続半導体素子215を開放した状態とし、フローチャートを終了する。   In the next step S208, the relay 8 and the constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 are opened, and the flowchart ends.

以上のように、実施の形態1に係るインバータ装置は、駆動回路部22が短絡した場合、駆動回路部22の電源ラインに接続された第1定電圧電源211aの出力電圧の低下を検出し、定電圧接続半導体素子215を制御して定電圧電源211aの出力を開放すると共に、リレー8を制御して駆動用バッテリと駆動回路部間の接続を開放するので、電動機6の停止中、駆動中に関わらず小電流で安全に短絡を検出することができる。   As described above, the inverter device according to the first embodiment detects a decrease in the output voltage of the first constant voltage power supply 211a connected to the power supply line of the drive circuit unit 22 when the drive circuit unit 22 is short-circuited. The constant voltage connection semiconductor element 215 is controlled to release the output of the constant voltage power supply 211a, and the relay 8 is controlled to open the connection between the drive battery and the drive circuit unit. Regardless of this, a short circuit can be detected safely with a small current.

なお、停止時のみ短絡を検出するのであれば、ダイオード214を削除することでき、更に簡素な構成が実現できる。   If a short circuit is detected only at the time of stop, the diode 214 can be eliminated, and a simpler configuration can be realized.
