Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a motor system of an eco-friendly vehicle, which includes: determining whether a regenerative braking is an on-state; upon determining that regenerative braking is the on-state, checking a battery state of charge (SoC); and upon checking that the battery SoC is fully recharged, entering into a motor low-efficiency control procedure that forcibly lowers a current driving point of a motor.

Claims (16)

1. A method of controlling a motor system of an eco-friendly vehicle, the method comprising:

determining whether a regenerative braking state is in an on-state;

after the regenerative braking state is determined to be in the on-state, checking a battery state of charge (SoC);

after the battery SoC is determined to be fully recharged, checking whether a motor temperature is less than a first predetermined value and an inverter temperature is less than a second predetermined value;

after the motor temperature is checked to be less than the first predetermined value and the inverter temperature is checked to be less than the second predetermined value, entering into a motor low-efficiency control procedure that forcibly lowers a current driving point of a motor;

after entering into the motor low-efficiency control procedure, determining whether a DC current of the battery is less than zero;

after the DC current of the battery is determined to be less than zero, reinforcing the motor low-efficiency control procedure by lowering the current driving point of the motor to a period with a high low-efficiency control degree; and

after the DC current of the battery is determined to be greater than or equal to zero, alleviating the motor low-efficiency control procedure by lowering the current driving point of the motor to a period with a low low-efficiency control degree.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:

when the battery SoC is determined not to be fully recharged, operating the current driving point of the motor with a normal regenerative braking.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

when the motor temperature is checked to be greater than the first predetermined value and the inverter temperature is checked to be greater than the second predetermined value, preventing an entry into the motor low-efficiency control procedure.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the method comprises:

when the entry into the motor low-efficiency control procedure is prevented, operating the current driving point of the motor with the normal regenerative braking.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:

compensating an insufficient regenerative braking amount due to the motor low-efficiency control by hydraulic braking force.
