Abstract

A switch reluctance motor wide speed-regulation range cross-control method, the switch reluctance motor wide speed-regulation range control system consisting of a revolving speed regulator, a current chopper controller, an angle position controller, a chopper counter, a comparison selector and two resettable constant registers; the chopper counter counts the current chopping number of each electrical period, and according to the comparison result between a counting value of the chopper counter and a constant value set by the two constant registers, the comparison selector selects the current chopper controller or the angle position controller, such that when in the three phases of low revolving speed, medium revolving speed and high revolving speed or in the runtime of acceleration, deceleration and uniform velocity, the current chopper controller and the angle position controller can automatically switch, and seamlessly connect without being affected by load change, and switching from a turn-on angle to a turn-off angle will not cause fluctuation of torque or revolving speed of a switch reluctance motor, thus the switch reluctance motor system runs stably and has good value for engineering application.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for cross control of wide speed regulation range of switched reluctance motor, comprising a control system consisting of a speed regulator, a current chopper controller, an angle position controller, a chopper counter, a comparison selector and two settable constant registers including Up_const and Down_const, characterized in that current chopping limit i ref and turn-on angle θ on and turn-off angle θ off of power converter master switch are regulated through the speed regulator according to the number of current chopper per electrical period of switched reluctance motor; specific steps are as follows: step 1, current chopper controller uses chopper control method to adjust the motor phase current; the chopper counter counts current chopping number of each electrical period; step 2, the comparison selector compares the count value of the chopper counter and the values of the two settable constant registers including Up_const and Down_const, wherein the constant value set by constant register Up_const is larger than the constant value set by constant register Down_const; step 3, selecting current chopper controller or angle position controller according to the comparison results; the selection logic can be divided into the motor acceleration stage, the motor deceleration stage and the motor uniform speed running stage according to the running state of the switched reluctance motor, the detailed steps are as follows:
during acceleration stage of switched reluctance motor, step 1, judging the count value of the chopper counter and the value of the constant register Down_const; step 2, when the count value of the chopper counter is larger than the constant value set by constant register Down_const, the comparison selector selects the current chopper controller; when the count value of the chopper counter is smaller than the constant value set by constant register Down_const, the comparison selector selects the angle position controller step 3, if the comparison selector chooses a current chopper controller, then the speed regulator raises the current chopping limit to increase the rotational speed of switched reluctance motor; if the comparison selector chooses an angular position controller, the speed regulator advances the turn-on angle to increase the rotational speed of switched reluctance motor;
during deceleration stage of switched reluctance motor, step 1, judging the count value of the chopper counter and the value of the constant register Down_const; step 2, when the count value of the chopper counter is larger than the constant value set by constant register Down_const and smaller than the constant value set by constant register Up_const, the comparison selector selects the current chopper controller; when the count value of the chopper counter is smaller than the constant value set by constant register Down_const or larger than the constant value set by constant register Up_const, the comparison selector selects the angle position controller; step 3, if the comparison selector chooses the current chopper controller, then the speed regulator reduces the current chopping limit to reduce the rotational speed of switched reluctance motor, if the comparison selector chooses the angular position controller, then the speed regulator moving the turn-on angle backward to reduce the rotational speed of switched reluctance motor;
when switched reluctance motor enters a stage of running at a constant speed, the controller selected by the comparison selector is the controller adopted at the moment before switched reluctance motor enters a stage of running at a constant speed; the type of the controller remains unchanged.
