- the inverter is directly fixed to the case that accommodates the AC rotating electric machine without using a dedicated inverter case, and is disposed in the driving force source chamber together with the case, thereby reducing the number of parts.
- the entire apparatus can be reduced in size.
- the product cost can be reduced as compared with the case where current detection is performed by a sensor using a Hall element.
- the inverter fixed to the case is provided with a shunt resistor, for example, the wiring length between the switching element unit for each phase and the shunt resistor is reduced as compared with the configuration in which the shunt resistor is disposed outside the driving force source chamber. It can be kept short. Therefore, the wiring resistance between them can be kept small, and the current detection accuracy using the shunt resistor can be improved.
- the inverter is disposed in an inverter accommodation chamber formed along the outer periphery of the case.
- the entire drive device including the inverter device can be configured in a compact manner. Therefore, the entire apparatus can be effectively downsized.

- Such transmission members include various members (shafts, gear mechanisms, belts, etc.) that transmit rotation at the same speed or at different speeds, and engaging devices (frictions) that selectively transmit rotation and driving force. Engagement devices, meshing engagement devices, etc.).
- the rotating electrical machine for driving a wheel that is housed in the case and connected to the wheel, and an electric pump provided independently from the wheel, the AC rotating electrical machine, It is preferable that the electric pump is connected to the rotor of the electric pump.
- independent from the wheel means that the transmission path of the driving force is independent from the wheel, and the rotational driving force of the wheel is not transmitted.
- the hydraulic pressure supplied from the electric pump is relatively high by controlling the driving of the rotor of the electric pump that is drivingly connected to the AC rotating electric machine while detecting the current flowing through the AC rotating electric machine with the shunt resistance.
- the accuracy can be controlled.
- Targeting AC rotating electrical machines for driving the rotor of electric pumps, this can be controlled with an inverter, enabling relatively high-precision control of the hydraulic pressure supplied from the electric pump, and current detection using an inexpensive shunt resistor It is possible to reduce the product cost.
- the AC rotating electric machine does not require so high control accuracy as compared with the wheel driving rotating electric machine for driving the wheel. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost while keeping the influence on the control accuracy of the wheel drive rotating electrical machine and the AC rotating electrical machine small.

- the inverter control device performs PWM control on the AC rotating electrical machine by individually switching the upper switching element and the lower switching element of the switching element unit for each phase, All the lower stage switches of the switching element unit for each phase of Based on the potential difference between both ends of the shunt resistor during the lower full-on period when the switching element is turned on, current detection processing is performed to detect the current of each phase flowing through the AC rotating electric machine, and a plurality of switching element units for each phase It is preferable that the offset correction amount at the zero point in the current detection process is determined based on a potential difference between both ends of the shunt resistor during a lower full-off period in which all the lower switching elements are in an off state.
- the current of each phase is simultaneously applied by utilizing the fact that the current of each phase flows through the lower switching element of each phase during the lower full-on period in which all the lower switching elements for each phase are in the on state. Can be detected.
- the current of each phase flows through the upper switching element of each phase and theoretically does not flow through the lower switching element. For this reason, the offset correction amount at the zero point in the current detection process can be appropriately determined by using the current detected by each shunt resistor during the lower full-off period where the current value is supposed to be zero. it can.
- the inverter control device determines the offset correction amount individually for each of a plurality of divided periods defined by dividing one cycle of the electrical angle of the AC rotating electric machine for each of the shunt resistors. Is preferred.
- the magnitude of the current detected by each shunt resistor during the lower full-off period is not uniform, but is correlated with the magnitude of the current of each phase flowing through the AC rotating electric machine.
- the offset correction amount is determined individually for each of the plurality of divided periods, it is possible to determine an appropriate offset correction amount according to the magnitude of the current of each phase flowing through the AC rotating electrical machine. Therefore, the detection accuracy in the current detection process can be further increased.
- the carrier frequency in the PWM control may be set in advance to a frequency that can secure a lower full-on period of a predetermined time or more.
- the carrier frequency is uniformly reduced, the controllability of the AC rotating electric machine may be reduced, and noise may be generated depending on the audible range. For this reason, it is preferable that the lower full-on period of a predetermined time or more can be secured while suppressing the occurrence of these problems.
- an inverter control device that drives and controls the inverter is further provided, and the switching element unit for each phase is provided on the positive electrode side of the DC power supply with respect to the connection portion with the AC rotating electrical machine. And a lower switching element provided on the negative electrode side of the DC power supply with respect to the connection portion, and the shunt resistor is a current flowing through the lower switching element of each phase switching element unit.
- the inverter control device performs PWM control on the AC rotating electrical machine by individually switching the upper switching element and the lower switching element of the switching element unit for each phase, All the lower stage switches of the switching element unit for each phase of A current detection process is performed to detect a current of each phase flowing through the AC rotating electric machine based on a potential difference between both ends of the shunt resistor during a lower full-on period in which the twitching element is turned on, and the lower full-on period is a predetermined reference When the time is shorter than the time, it is preferable to reduce the carrier frequency in the PWM control.

- the carrier frequency in PWM control can be dynamically changed, and the carrier frequency is lowered when the lower full-on period is shorter than a predetermined reference time. As a result, it is possible to extend the duration of the ON state of the lower switching element of each phase while keeping the duty ratio constant. As a result, the lower full-on period can be lengthened, and it is easy to ensure the accuracy of the current detection process.
- the inverter control device is configured to be able to change the carrier frequency continuously or stepwise, and when the lower full-on period is shorter than the reference time, among the changeable carrier frequencies, It is preferable that the carrier frequency is lowered to a maximum frequency at which the lower full-on period is equal to or longer than the reference time.

Accordingly, the current flowing through the U-phase stator coil cannot be detected. In other active vector periods as well, it is possible to detect the current flowing through the one-phase or two-phase stator coils in accordance with the pattern of the path through which the current flows.
- the zero vector period there are a period in which all the three-phase upper switching elements 42a to 42c are in the on state and a period in which all the three-phase upper switching elements 42a to 42c are in the off state.
- the former is referred to as “lower full-off period Tf”
- the latter is referred to as “lower full-on period Tn”.
- the lower full-off period Tf is a period in which all the switching elements 42 on the side where the shunt resistor 45 is provided are in an off state, and can also be referred to as a “target full-off period”.
- the lower full-on period Tn can also be referred to as a “target full-on period”.
- In the zero vector period no current flows between the power storage device B and the pump motor PM. However, in the zero vector period, the current flows back between the second inverter 40 and the pump motor PM.
- the current circulation pattern differs between the lower full-on period Tn and the lower full-off period Tf.
- the inverter control device 5 (second control unit 52) performs a current detection process using the shunt resistor 45 in the lower full-on period Tn. That is, the inverter control device 5 simultaneously detects the currents flowing through the stator coils of the respective phases of the pump motor PM in the lower full-on period Tn. As described above, the current flowing through the stator coil of each phase of the pump motor PM is detected based on the potential difference between both ends of each shunt resistor 45.
- the inverter control device 5 detects the minute current flowing through the stator coil of each phase of the pump motor PM using the shunt resistor 45 also in the lower full-off period Tf. That is, the inverter control device 5 simultaneously detects a minute current flowing through the stator coil of each phase of the pump motor PM in the lower full-off period Tf. In this manner, the zero point offset correction amount ⁇ Oc in the above-described current detection process is calculated using the minute current of each phase detected in the lower full-off period Tf.
- the inverter control device 5 divides one electrical angle cycle Tc of the pump motor PM into a plurality of divided periods Td, and individually performs offset correction for each of the plurality of divided periods Td. The amount ⁇ Oc is determined. More specifically, the inverter control device 5 stores (accumulates) individual offset correction values determined in the past for each divided period Td.
- the offset correction amount ⁇ Oc is set as a value obtained by statistically processing them (for example, calculating an average value / weighted average value / moderate value / median value of a specific period). decide.
- the offset correction amount ⁇ Oc for each divided period Td is determined for each shunt resistor 45.

That is, the inverter control device 5 subtracts the offset correction amount ⁇ Oc assigned to the divided period Td from the actually obtained current detection value (Idet) for each phase, so that the actual current flowing through the stator coil is reduced. (Ir) is detected.
- the detected actual current value of each phase is provided to the current feedback control by the second control unit 52 as a U-phase current Iur, a V-phase current Ivr, and a W-phase current Iwr (see FIG. 4).
- the shunt resistor 45 incorporated in the second inverter 40 is arranged in the driving force source chamber Q in this embodiment, the periphery of the shunt resistor 45 is likely to become high temperature, and the temperature fluctuation range is also large. Easy to grow.
- the fluctuation range of the environmental temperature increases, the current detection accuracy by the shunt resistor 45 decreases, and as a result, the control accuracy of the pump motor PM is likely to deteriorate.
- zero point offset correction is performed at the start-up of the apparatus, there is a problem that it is not possible to cope with large fluctuations in the environmental temperature.
- the offset correction amount ⁇ Oc is determined in the lower full-off period Tf that repeatedly appears during the drive control of the pump motor PM, so that it is possible to repeatedly perform offset correction and cope with fluctuations in the environmental temperature. be able to. Therefore, the detection accuracy in the current detection process can be increased.
- the actual potential difference sampling in the current detection process is performed at the center (intermediate time) of the lower full-on period Tn.
- an output signal is amplified by an operational amplifier (operational amplifier; not shown) at the time of sampling.
- the second control unit 52 includes an amplifier circuit that amplifies the output signal from the shunt resistor 45.
- general-purpose operational amplifiers generally have a slew rate (Slew Rate) set to a relatively small value, and the maximum response speed is limited. That is, the upper limit of the time change rate of the output value from the shunt resistor 45 is limited by a slew rate (change rate limit value) preset in the operational amplifier.
- FIG. 10 schematically shows an example of the change of the output signal from the shunt resistor 45 acquired through the operational amplifier during the lower full-on period Tn.
- the output torque of the pump motor PM is increased, for example, when the lower full-on period Tn becomes considerably short, amplification of the output signal of the shunt resistor 45 is completed.
- the potential difference sampling is performed without performing the above process. In such a case, the current flowing through the stator coil of each phase of the pump motor PM is erroneously detected (detected as a value different from the actual value), so the control accuracy of the pump motor PM is deteriorated. To do.
- the inverter control device 5 sets the parameter relating to the current feedback control of the pump motor PM so as to lengthen the lower full-on period Tn when the lower full-on period Tn is shorter than a predetermined reference time Tr.
- Perform adjustment processing to adjust The reference time Tr is set based on a change rate limit value (slew rate) preset in the operational amplifier as an upper limit value of the time change rate of the output value from the shunt resistor 45.

Then, as one aspect of the adjustment process, the inverter control device 5 reduces the carrier frequency in the PWM control when the lower full-on period Tn is shorter than the reference time Tr (see the lower stage in FIG. 10). Since the control signals S21 to S26 are generated based on the magnitude comparison between the carrier and the AC voltage command values Vu, Vv, Vw, the lower switching of each phase is performed by lowering the carrier frequency (increasing the carrier cycle). The duration of the ON state of the elements 42d to 42f is increased. In addition, it is possible to extend the duration of the ON state of the lower switching elements 42d to 42f of each phase while keeping the duty ratio constant. As a result, the lower full-on period Tn can be lengthened.
- the inverter control device 5 reduces the carrier frequency to a frequency at which the lower full-on period Tn becomes equal to the reference time Tr.
- the reference time Tr can be secured as the lower full-on period Tn, and sampling of the output signal of the shunt resistor 45 that has not been amplified by the slew rate of the operational amplifier can be suppressed. Therefore, the accuracy of the current detection process can be ensured.
- the carrier frequency can be reduced to the minimum necessary level. Therefore, a decrease in controllability of the pump motor PM, generation of noise, and the like can be effectively suppressed.
- the inverter control device 5 reduces the modulation factor Mf in the current vector control when the lower full-on period Tn is shorter than the reference time Tr.
- the inverter control device 5 reduces the modulation factor Mf by performing field weakening control.

- the q-axis current command value Iq derived based on a predetermined map generally decreases along an isotorque line as shown in FIG.
- the current deviation in the current feedback control is reduced, and the voltage command values Vd and Vq derived by the current control unit 65 are also reduced.
- the modulation factor Mf is reduced by the execution of the field weakening control.
- the modulation factor Mf is an index representing the ratio of the effective value of the fundamental wave component of the output voltage waveform of the second inverter 40 to the DC voltage Vdc.

- the duration of the ON state of the upper switching elements 42a to 42c of each phase is shortened, and the duration of the ON state of the lower switching elements 42d to 42f of each phase is correspondingly increased.
- the lower full-on period Tn can be lengthened.
- the inverter control device 5 reduces the modulation rate Mf so that the lower full-on period Tn is equal to or longer than the reference time Tr. In order to do this, for example, it is preferable to experimentally obtain the second reference modulation rate such that the lower full-on period Tn is equal to or longer than the reference time Tr.
- the d-axis current adjustment command value deriving unit 67 determines the d based on the second reference modulation factor (for example, a value of about “0.6” to “0.7”) obtained as an empirical value and the modulation factor Mf. It is preferable that the shaft current adjustment command value ⁇ Id is derived.
- the reference time Tr can be ensured as the lower full-on period Tn, and sampling of the output signal of the shunt resistor 45 that has not been amplified by the slew rate of the operational amplifier can be suppressed. Therefore, the accuracy of the current detection process can be ensured. In that case, the output torque of the pump motor PM can be kept constant.
