Abstract
Abstract A controller for driving permanent magnet type synchronous motor. A motor terminal voltage or IPM (intelligent power module) input voltage necessary to achieve a target operating point is computed based on torque command and motor revolution. When the computed voltage exceeds an actual battery voltage, a booster is inserted between the battery and IPM, and the battery voltage, after being boosted, is applied between the direct current terminals of the IPM. Since the motor terminal voltage can be made so as to not exceed the boosted voltage even if the motor terminal voltage rises along with a rise in revolution and speed voltage, field weakening control becomes unnecessary.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A driving controller for controlling a permanent magnet type synchronous motor using a power converter that is connected between a battery and the permanent magnet type synchronous motor and converts a battery voltage to a motor current; said driving controller comprising: a booster for boosting said battery voltage before being supplied to said power converter according to a command; judgment means for judging, based on a detected value of said battery voltage, whether or not a target operating point for said permanent magnet type synchronous motor is in an output range thereof; and extending means for extending, when it has been determined by the judgment means that the target operating point is not in the output range, said output range so as to cover the target operating point by issuing the command to said booster according to the location of said target operating point.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A driving controller for controlling a permanent magnet type synchronous motor using a power converter that is connected between a battery and the permanent magnet type synchronous motor and converts a battery voltage to a motor current; said driving controller comprising: a booster for boosting said battery voltage before being supplied to said power converter according to a command; judgment means for judging, based on a detected value of said battery voltage, whether or not a target operating point for said permanent magnet type synchronous motor is in an output range thereof; and extending means for extending, when it has been determined by the judgment means that the target operating point is not in the output range, said output range so as to cover the target operating point by issuing the command to said booster according to the location of said target operating point.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
The driving controller according to claim 1 further comprising an autonomous gate element for forming or interrupting a conduction path in accordance with a difference in the voltages before and after the booster, the conduction path being provided between said battery and said power converter that does not pass through said booster; whereby said booster is automatically bypassed by said autonomous gate element when boosting is not being performed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
The driving controller according to claim 1 further comprising: a controllable gate element for forming or interrupting a conduction path in accordance with a gate command, the conduction path being provided between said battery and said power converter that does not pass through said booster; and means for providing the gate command to said controllable gate element to forcibly form said conduction path when said target operating point is on the regeneration side.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
136 words
The driving controller according to claim 1 wherein: said booster includes a passive element for storing the energy discharged from said battery and an active element for selectively connecting said passive element to a positive side or a negative side of said power converter according to said command; and said driving controller includes command means for issuing said command to said active element in accordance with the position of said target operating point and the result of a judgment in the judgment means when the target operating point is on the power driving side and so that a conduction path passing through said passive element is formed between said battery and said power converter when the target operating point is on the regeneration side and when said permanent magnet type synchronous motor is to be started.
