Abstract

A motor control device controls a current of a motor based on a torque command, the current being separated into a d-axis current and a q-axis current orthogonal to the d-axis current, the torque command being a target value of a torque of the motor. The motor control device includes a current vector controller that receives input of a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command, and generates a d-axis voltage command and a q-axis voltage command, a difference between a value of the d-axis current and a value of the d-axis current command being zero, a difference between a value of the q-axis current and a value of the q-axis current command being zero, a q-axis current command generator that generates the q-axis current command based on the torque command, a magnetic-flux weakening controller that generates the d-axis current command based on a difference between a voltage command and a reference voltage, the voltage command being a vector with the d-axis voltage command output from the current vector controller as a d-axis component and the q-axis voltage command as a q-axis component, an amplitude of the voltage command not exceeding the reference voltage, a current limiter that limits a magnitude of the d-axis current command according to a magnitude of the q-axis current command, the d-axis current command being a d-axis component of a current command vector of the motor, the q-axis current command being a q-axis component of the current command vector of the motor, a magnitude of the current command vector of the motor not exceeding a current limit value, and a reference voltage correction unit that corrects the reference voltage based on a difference between a value of the d-axis current command before limitation and a value of the d-axis current command after the limitation.

Claims (10)

1. A motor control device that controls a current of a motor based on a torque command, the current being separated into a d-axis current and a q-axis current orthogonal to the d-axis current, the torque command being a target value of a torque of the motor, the motor control device comprising:

a current vector controller that receives a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command, and generates a d-axis voltage command and a q-axis voltage command, a difference between a value of the d-axis current and a value of the d-axis current command being zero, a difference between a value of the q-axis current and a value of the q-axis current command being zero;

a q-axis current command generator that generates the q-axis current command based on the torque command;

a magnetic-flux weakening controller that generates the d-axis current command based on a difference between a voltage command and a reference voltage, the voltage command being a vector with the d-axis voltage command output from the current vector controller as a d-axis component and the q-axis voltage command as a q-axis component, an amplitude of the voltage command not exceeding the reference voltage;

a current limiter that limits a magnitude of the d-axis current command according to a magnitude of the q-axis current command, the d-axis current command being a d-axis component of a current command vector of the motor, the q-axis current command being a q-axis component of the current command vector of the motor, a magnitude of the current command vector of the motor not exceeding a current limit value; and

a reference voltage correction unit that is configured to correct the reference voltage at a time of a magnetic-flux weakening control when a combined current value reaches a current limit value, the combined current being sum of the value of the d-axis current command and the value of the q-axis current command, wherein

the reference voltage correction unit corrects the reference voltage based on a magnitude of a difference between the d-axis current command provided to the current limiter and the d-axis current command output by the current limiter.

2. The motor control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a reference voltage limiter that limits the reference voltage to a predetermined upper limit value; and

a command correction unit that performs correction to decrease the q-axis current command or the torque command when the amplitude of the voltage command is larger than the predetermined upper limit value.
