Abstract

A rotary electric machine control device includes a positive/negative determination section that determines whether an output torque of the rotary electric machine is positive or negative; a correction parameter setting section that sets as a correction parameter a phase difference of a sinusoidal ripple correction wave for reducing torque ripple of the rotary electric machine with respect to a magnetic pole position of the rotary electric machine depending on whether the output torque is positive or negative; and a correction wave generation section that generates the ripple correction wave on the basis of the correction parameter.

Claims (16)

1. A rotary electric machine control device that controls driving of a rotary electric machine that drives a vehicle, comprising:

a positive/negative determination section that determines whether an output torque of the rotary electric machine is positive or negative;

a correction parameter setting section that sets as a correction parameter a phase difference of a sinusoidal ripple correction wave for reducing torque ripple of the rotary electric machine with respect to a magnetic pole position of the rotary electric machine depending on whether the output torque is positive or negative; and

a correction wave generation section that generates the ripple correction wave on the basis of the correction parameter,

wherein the rotary electric machine is controlled to drive using the ripple correction wave.

2. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a required torque setting section that determines a required torque for the rotary electric machine on the basis of at least an operation amount of an accelerator pedal,

wherein the rotary electric machine is controlled to drive on the basis of a target torque obtained by superimposing the ripple correction wave on the required torque.

3. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 2 , wherein the correction parameter setting section further sets an amplitude of the ripple correction wave depending on whether the output torque is positive or negative.

4. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 2 , wherein the correction parameter setting section sets the amplitude of the ripple correction wave in accordance with a rotational speed of the rotary electric machine.

5. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 4 , wherein the correction parameter setting section restricts the amplitude of the ripple correction wave such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes smaller as the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine becomes higher since the rotational speed exceeds a restriction start speed until the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes zero at a restriction speed set higher than the restriction start speed, and such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave is restricted to zero when the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine is equal to or higher than the restriction speed.

6. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 1 , wherein the correction parameter setting section further sets an amplitude of the ripple correction wave depending on whether the output torque is positive or negative.

7. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 6 , wherein the correction parameter setting section sets the amplitude of the ripple correction wave in accordance with a rotational speed of the rotary electric machine.

8. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 7 , wherein the correction parameter setting section restricts the amplitude of the ripple correction wave such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes smaller as the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine becomes higher since the rotational speed exceeds a restriction start speed until the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes zero at a restriction speed set higher than the restriction start speed, and such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave is restricted to zero when the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine is equal to or higher than the restriction speed.

9. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 1 wherein the correction parameter setting section sets the amplitude of the ripple correction wave in accordance with a rotational speed of the rotary electric machine.

10. The rotary electric machine control device according to claim 9 , wherein the correction parameter setting section restricts the amplitude of the ripple correction wave such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes smaller as the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine becomes higher since the rotational speed exceeds a restriction start speed until the amplitude of the ripple correction wave becomes zero at a restriction speed set higher than the restriction start speed, and such that the amplitude of the ripple correction wave is restricted to zero when the rotational speed of the rotary electric machine is equal to or higher than the restriction speed.
