Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object of the present invention is to provide a drive system for a dump truck capable of suppressing increase in size of a converter that controls a two-winding induction generator. To this end, the drive system for a dump truck includes a DC-DC converter connected to a main side DC bus and an auxiliary side DC bus, and a controller controls the DC-DC converter such that electric power of the main side DC bus is supplied to the auxiliary side DC bus via the DC-DC converter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A drive system for a dump truck, the drive system comprising: a two-winding induction generator having a primary winding including a main winding and an auxiliary winding; a rectifier that rectifies alternating-current power generated in the main winding into direct-current power; an auxiliary converter that converts alternating-current power generated in the auxiliary winding into direct-current power; a traction inverter that is connected to the rectifier through a main side DC bus, converts the direct-current power supplied from the rectifier into alternating-current power, and supplies the alternating-current power to a traction motor of the dump truck; an auxiliary machine inverter that is connected to the auxiliary converter through an auxiliary side DC bus, converts the direct-current power supplied from the auxiliary converter into alternating-current power, and supplies the alternating-current power to an auxiliary machine motor of the dump truck; and a controller that controls the auxiliary converter, wherein the drive system includes a DC-DC converter connected to the main side DC bus and the auxiliary side DC bus, and the controller is configured to control the DC-DC converter such that electric power of the main side DC bus is supplied to the auxiliary side DC bus via the DC-DC converter. 2. The drive system for a dump truck according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to decide, on a basis of a control signal of the dump truck, which one of normal traveling, idling, and retarding an action of the dump truck is and control, in a case where it is decided that the action of the dump truck is idling or retarding, the DC-DC converter such that electric power of the main side DC bus is supplied to the auxiliary side DC bus via the DC-DC converter. 3. The drive system for a dump truck according to claim 2 , wherein, the controller is configured to, in a case where electric power is to be supplied from the main side DC bus to the auxiliary side DC bus via the DC-DC converter, control the auxiliary converter and the DC-DC converter such that sum of electric power to be supplied to the auxiliary side DC bus via the auxiliary converter and electric power to be supplied to the auxiliary side DC bus via the DC-DC converter becomes equal to demanded electric power of the auxiliary machine inverter.
