Method for operating a drive device, drive device and
Motor vehicle
The present invention relates to a method for operating a drive device with an electrical machine, a drive device, in particular for a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of the independent
Claim 13, and a motor vehicle.
Electrical machines such as Electric motors and electromagnetic brakes such as Hysteresis brakes are known from the prior art. The movement of a rotor is coupled to a magnetic field of a stator so that the rotor can be driven or braked. For this purpose, at least three phases are often provided on the stator which provide coil windings in order to operate the electrical machine in three-phase operation. However, braking in particular can be a safety-relevant process that should still be carried out in the event of an error. This can be the case, for example, in a motor vehicle that is driven and / or braked via the electrical machine. A fault can for example be caused by a phase of the electrical machine failing in such a way that it is no longer error-free in three-phase operation for controlling the motor
is usable.
For this purpose, it is known from DE 10 2011 054 620 A1, for example, to switch an auxiliary half-bridge in the event of a phase failure in order to put the electric drive into emergency operation. However, the electric motor continues to operate, albeit with a reduced torque. However, this is limited to certain error cases when the phases fail. In addition, the electric motor does not contribute
a safe standstill of the motor vehicle.
The object of the present invention is to at least partially take account of the problems described above. In particular, it is the object of the present invention, in a drive device with an electric
Machine in the event of a defect, in particular the failure of a phase in the

electrical machine, a safe speed reduction of the
to allow electrical machine and / or a motor vehicle.
The above object is achieved by the subject matter of the present patent claims. In particular, the above object is achieved by the method for operating a drive device according to claim 1, the drive device according to claim 14 and the motor vehicle according to claim 21. Further advantages of the invention emerge from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings. Features and details that are described in connection with the method according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the drive device according to the invention and / or the motor vehicle according to the invention and in each case vice versa, so that with regard to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention
is or can always be reciprocally referred to.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for operating a drive device is claimed. The drive device has an electrical machine with at least one stator and a rotor for three-phase operation of the electrical machine. Furthermore, the drive device has a multi-phase circuit which has at least three phases of the stator for operating the rotor in three-phase operation. The procedure consists of the following steps:
- Monitoring the multi-phase circuit for a defect in which at least one of the three phases for three-phase operation has failed, preferably by a monitoring module of the drive device,
- Switching of the multi-phase circuit for direct current operation of the electrical machine in the event of a defect, preferably by means of a switching device of the multi-phase circuit,
- Braking of the rotor of the electrical machine by the direct current operation, preferably by an operating module of the
Drive device.

The electric machine can preferably be designed as an electric motor and / or electromagnetic brake. In particular, the electrical machine can be a primary drive of the drive device or the drive device can have an internal combustion engine as the primary drive. The operation of the rotor can be understood to mean a drive and / or a braking of the rotor. The rotor of the electrical machine can preferably be an internal rotor or an external rotor. Coil windings of the at least three phases of the multiphase circuits, through which a magnetic field can be generated, can preferably be arranged on the stator. The magnetic field of the coil windings of the phases can preferably be regulated in a field-oriented manner in three-phase operation. If there is a defect in which at least one of the three phases for the three-phase operation has failed, the three-phase operation can in particular no longer be fully maintained. In the case of the defect, at least one, in particular precisely one, of the three phases can have failed. The failure of the phase can in particular result in a disturbance in the current flow, i. For example, a reduction in the current flow or a complete failure of the current in the phase, in particular in a coil winding of the phase, can be understood. The switching of the multi-phase circuit for direct current operation can be carried out in particular by a switching device for switching between three-phase operation and direct current operation. The braking of the rotor of the electrical machine by the direct current operation can in particular be understood to mean electrical and / or electromagnetic braking. It can preferably be provided that, in direct current operation, only braking of the rotor and preferably free running of the rotor is possible. In freewheeling mode, the rotor can be operated with 100% slip, for example, in which there is preferably no torque transmission between rotor and stator. The monitoring can include the acquisition of an operating parameter of the drive device, in particular the electrical machine, such as e.g. a torque, a rotation of the rotor and / or the like include. If an irregularity is found, the existence of the defect can be concluded. The monitoring module and / or the operating module can be part of a control unit of the drive device. The
Control unit can have a processor, in particular a microprocessor, and

further control and / or regulating devices comprise. The control unit can also e.g. be integrated into a central control device of the motor vehicle or be designed as a separate control device of the drive device. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the monitoring module and / or the operating module is separate from the
Control unit of the drive device are formed.
Thus, a stator frequency of zero can be provided in particular when braking the rotor by direct current operation, so that a slip between the rotor and the magnetic field of the stator corresponds to the rotor speed, i.e. in particular that there is a slip of 100%. The electrical machine can thus provide high braking power if there is a defect and the three-phase operation is therefore impaired. Because the defect can be detected when the multiphase circuit is monitored, safe measures can be taken when the rotor is switched over and braked in order to keep the drive device in a safe state
reduced speed, especially to a standstill.
Further steps can preferably be provided if the presence of the defect is established by monitoring the multiphase circuit. In particular, the switching of the multi-phase circuit for direct current operation and / or the braking of the rotor can be carried out when a braking request for the rotor, e.g. by a driver or a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle operated by the drive device. Preferably, the electrical machine can also be operated with the rotor free-wheeling if the defect is detected by monitoring the multi-phase circuit. In the event of a defect, the multiphase circuit and / or the control unit, in particular a DC bus, can preferably remain connected to an energy store of the drive device and wait for the braking request. The freewheel can e.g. be executed when the defect is detected and the rotor and / or the vehicle is subject to a traction force and / or a positive torque request
present.

In a method according to the invention, it can preferably be provided that electrical energy is provided by an energy storage unit in direct current operation and a direct current of the energy storage unit is converted into three-phase current by an inverter of the multi-phase circuit in three-phase operation. The energy storage unit can preferably provide the electrical energy in the form of a direct current and / or comprise a battery, in particular a traction battery and / or an on-board network battery of the motor vehicle. Thus, in direct current operation, electrical energy can preferably be provided by the same energy storage unit that also provides electrical energy in three-phase operation, in particular for the inverter and / or the electrical machine. It is therefore not necessary to provide a second, redundant energy storage unit for direct current operation. As a result, the drive device can require and / or fewer components
be executed more cost-effectively.
In the context of the invention it can also be provided that the method comprises the following step:
Detecting which of the three phases is the failed phase, if the defect is present, preferably by means of a detection module of the drive device.
Because the failed phase can be recognized, suitable measures can be taken in order to implement the switchover, for example, within the multi-phase circuit. The detection module can be designed at least partially as a control unit or separately from the control unit. As a result, the correct switching process for switching the multi-phase circuit for direct current operation can be carried out in a simple manner, in particular depending on which of the three phases is the failed phase. This also enables particularly simple circuit arrangements, for example with a switch to switch one of the phases,
in particular to deactivate the failed phase.
In a method according to the invention, it can preferably be provided that
with each of the three phases, in particular in each case, a phase current sensor,

preferably of the detection module, and that detecting the failed phase comprises the following steps:
- sending an electrical impulse to one of the three phases,
preferably by a pulse generator of the detection module, - measurement of a current parameter on the respective phase, preferably by the respective phase current sensor,
wherein the respective phase is recognized as one of the intact phases if the measured current parameter comprises the electrical pulse. An intact phase can consequently be understood to mean a phase that has not failed and / or in which there is no defect. Thus, for example, part of the multi-phase circuit can be checked by the electrical pulse to determine whether the defect is present between the phase current sensor and a pulse generator for sending the electrical pulse. The current parameter can include, for example, an electrical current intensity and / or an electrical voltage. The electrical pulse can include an increase in the voltage and / or the current strength, in particular an electrical signal. If the phase to which the electrical pulse is sent is an intact phase, the phase current sensor detects the electrical pulse by measuring the current parameter, in particular using the current parameter, so that the phase is accordingly classified as an intact phase. If the measured current parameter does not reflect the electrical impulse, it can consequently be concluded that a phase has failed. This provides a simple possibility of inferring the failed phase and, in particular, of controlling the multiphase circuit accordingly in order to switch over to direct current operation
to realize.
Furthermore, it is conceivable in a method according to the invention that the transmission of the electrical pulse and the measurement of the current parameter for each of the three phases, in particular one after the other, are carried out repeatedly or simultaneously, in particular until the failed phase is identified. If the failed phase has been identified, the repetition of the transmission and the measurement can be canceled, since the other phases can accordingly be assumed to be intact phases. If the other phases are also to be checked, that can be done

the other phases are carried out. It is also conceivable that the transmission and measurement are carried out simultaneously for all phases. The phases can thus be checked for the defect in a simple manner and the failed phase can be recognized as such. In particular, through the electrical pulse or the current parameter, the detection of the failed phase is at least essentially independent of a type of defect, since, for example, both a defect in an inverter of the multiphase circuit and a defect in the winding help to identify the failed phase, in particular based on a Interruption or impairment of the current flow on the failed phase. This can depend in particular on the position of the pulse generator and / or the
Phase current sensor be dependent.
In the context of the invention, it is also conceivable that the method comprises the following step:
- Monitoring an operating parameter of the electrical machine to detect overheating when braking the rotor, preferably by an operation monitoring module of the drive device,
a mechanical braking device being activated upon detection of overheating. The drive device can preferably be part of a motor vehicle and comprise a braking device for braking a wheel of the motor vehicle. Depending on the torque and / or the speed of the rotor of the electrical machine to be braked, high currents can arise during braking that disperse as thermal energy on the electrical machine. Other influencing factors can be the ambient temperature and / or a magnetic flux on the rotor and / or stator. In this case, the mechanical braking device can relieve the required braking torque of the electrical machine, so that the increased temperature is reduced again or at least not increased further. The safety of the drive device can thus be further increased.
In particular, consequential defects of overheating can thereby be avoided.

Furthermore, it is conceivable within the scope of the invention that the method comprises the following step:
- Identifying a defect type of the defect, in particular by a
Identification module of the drive device,
the switching of the polyphase circuit for direct current operation of the electrical machine being carried out as a function of the type of defect identified. For example, the switching device can provide several options for reacting to the type of defect. In particular, the type of defect can include the location of the defect, preferably within the multiphase circuit. This makes it possible, for example, not only to react to the defect in general, but to take measures tailored to the type of defect. The identification module can be designed at least partially as a control unit or separately from the control unit.
Preferably, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that at least one of the following possible types of defects is checked when identifying the type of defect:
- faulty inverter of the multi-phase circuit,
- Bad phase. In the case of a defective inverter, the defect can be in a switching unit, in particular in a semiconductor component, for example. In the defective phase, for example, a coil winding or a connection line to the inverter can be defective or destroyed. Depending on the type of defect, a measure to switch to direct current operation can be taken accordingly. For this purpose, the identification module can e.g. have a diagnostic module through which individual switching units, in particular individual semiconductor elements, of an inverter and / or the coil windings of the phases are monitored.
In a method according to the invention, the switching of the multiphase circuit for direct current operation of the electrical machine can preferably include switching a direct current to two of the three phases. The two intact phases can preferably be used or, in particular, depending on the defect, an intact phase and the failed phase. So it is

Provide direct current operation, but the existing phases can be used for this. This leads to a resource efficiency of the method and in particular an increased security, since, for example, the further phases can be checked for a further defect, in particular before the switchover
for direct current operation.
Within the scope of the invention it can further be provided that the switching of the direct current to the two of the three phases comprises at least one of the following steps: bridging a phase and / or a switching unit of an inverter of the multi-phase circuit for one phase, deactivating a phase and / or a switching unit of an inverter of the multi-phase circuit for one phase by opening a switch, - short-circuiting two phases, in particular by a phase-to-phase short circuit and / or by a conductor-to-conductor short circuit, - earthing a phase by direct or indirect earthing . Direct grounding can be understood to mean that the phase itself is grounded. Indirect grounding can be understood to mean that grounding of the multi-phase circuit, in particular in the inverter, is provided. Simple measures can thus be provided in order to achieve direct current operation of the electrical machine as a function of a type of defect and / or recognition of which of the phases has failed. The switching unit of the inverter can be a semiconductor component, for example. The phase can in particular be bridged by bridging a coil winding of the phases on the stator. The deactivation of a phase and / or a switching unit by opening a switch can also include disconnecting the respective line. In the case of a phase-to-phase short circuit, two coil windings can preferably be crossed; in the case of a conductor-to-conductor short circuit, linear short circuits can be used. A ground can preferably be short-circuited with a
Ground potential and / or a pole of an energy storage unit can be achieved. Furthermore, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that when switching the direct current, a direct voltage is applied to the two intact phases,
when the defect includes a defect type in the form of a defective phase. Additionally

or alternatively, a DC voltage can be applied to an intact phase and the failed phase if the defect comprises a type of defect in the form of a defective inverter of the multiphase circuit. Thus, depending on the type of defect, an appropriate circuit for direct current operation can be selected in a simple manner in order to enable efficient braking. The circuit can be selected by a control unit, in particular
after the type of defect has been recognized.
In the context of the invention it can be provided that the electrical machine is operated in three-phase operation as a synchronous machine, in particular as a hysteresis machine. A particularly high braking force can thus be achieved when braking using direct current operation. Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable that the electrical machine is operated as a synchronous machine in three-phase operation. In particular, the electrical machine is operated as a synchronous machine and / or as a synchronous machine while the multiphase circuit is being monitored. In direct current operation, the electrical machine can consequently
operated with 100% slip.
In a method according to the invention, it can preferably be provided that the steps of monitoring the multi-phase circuit for a defect, switching the multi-phase circuit for direct current operation and / or braking a rotor for at least two electrical machines are carried out simultaneously, the multi-phase circuit for at least three phases each of the electrical machines. It can thus be provided, for example, that a multiphase circuit, in particular with two inverters, with an energy storage unit and / or with a control unit is used for at least two electrical machines. Thus, a drive device can accordingly require a smaller number of components and / or lower costs. In addition, if one of the at least two electrical machines is defective, the rotors can preferably be braked at the same time, so that, for example, a motor vehicle in which the method is carried out can brake evenly. This can consequently have a positive effect on the
Affect driving stability.

According to a further aspect of the invention, a drive device, in particular for a motor vehicle, is claimed. The drive device has an electrical machine with a stator and a rotor and a multi-phase circuit with at least three phases for the stator of the electrical machine. In three-phase operation of the electrical machine, the rotor can be operated via the phases. Furthermore, the drive device has a control unit with a monitoring module for monitoring the multi-phase circuit for a defect in which one of the three phases for three-phase operation has failed. Furthermore, the multi-phase circuit has a switching device for switching over to direct current operation of the electrical machine, in which the rotor of the electrical machine when the
Defect can be braked.
The operability of the rotor can in particular be understood to mean driving and / or braking the rotor. In particular, the stator and the rotor can be in operative connection via the three phases in three-phase operation. The switching device can thus be used to switch from three-phase operation to direct current operation and in particular vice versa. The monitoring module of the control unit can preferably activate the switchover device, that is to say in particular control and / or regulate it. Furthermore, the control unit can have an operating module for carrying out the braking of the electrical machine when the defect is present. Thus, a drive device according to the invention has the same advantages as have already been described in detail with reference to a method according to the invention
are.
A drive device according to the invention can preferably have an energy storage unit for providing electrical energy for direct current operation and the multiphase circuit an inverter for converting a direct current of the energy storage unit for three-phase operation. The same energy storage unit can therefore be used for three-phase operation and direct current operation. In particular, the direct current operation is fed by the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit can preferably

of the motor vehicle include. In particular, the drive device according to the invention makes it possible to detect a defect in at least one of the three phases and to provide a reaction of the system in which a switch is made to direct current operation. This can enable the electrical machine to be braked in order to put the drive device, in particular the motor vehicle, in a safe state at reduced speed and / or
to lead at standstill.
In a drive device according to the invention, the electrical machine can preferably be operated in three-phase operation as a synchronous machine, in particular as a hysteresis machine. The electrical machine can thus be designed in particular as a synchronous machine and / or a hysteresis machine. As a result, high braking torques can be generated by means of the electrical machine, so that, for example, if the defect occurs, electrical emergency braking can also be carried out by the electrical machine. As a result, it is not necessary to use a mechanical brake so that such a load can be relieved or even a brake can be dispensed with. It is also conceivable that the electrical machine is a synchronous machine,
can be operated in particular in three-phase operation.
Furthermore, it can be provided in a drive device according to the invention that the control unit has a detection module for detecting which of the three phases is the failed phase. Preferably, the detection module can include a pulse generator and a phase current sensor for receiving an electrical pulse from the pulse generator. The detection module can in particular be designed to detect the failed phase when the defect is present. The pulse generator can preferably be designed to transmit the electrical pulse as a current peak, voltage peak and / or as a signal. The phase current sensor can also be used to identify a current parameter in which the electrical pulse is or can be reflected. For this purpose, the phase current sensor can comprise a voltmeter, an ammeter and / or the like. Thus, in a simple way
an error can be detected or localized.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a drive device according to the invention that the control unit has an identification module for identifying a defect type of the defect, in particular a defective inverter of the multi-phase circuit and / or a defective phase being identifiable as the defect type. Thus, in particular before the switchover, the switchover device can determine which type of defect is present and the switchover device can be controlled accordingly. In particular, the recognition module for recognizing which of the three phases is the failed phase can then be activated.
Furthermore, it is conceivable in a drive device according to the invention that at least two electrical machines are provided, the multi-phase circuit having at least three phases per electrical machine and a switching device per electrical machine, and / or the multi-phase circuit having at least one inverter per electrical machine. Thus, in particular, two electrical machines can be controlled in terms of circuit technology at the same time by means of the multiphase circuit and, in particular, the multiphase circuit can be monitored for both electrical machines by the monitoring module of the control unit. It is therefore not necessary, for example, to provide a control unit and / or a monitoring module separately for each of the electrical machines. As a result, the design of the drive device can be simplified and, in particular, designed to be inexpensive.
In a drive device according to the invention, the control unit, in particular the monitoring module and / or an operating module of the control unit, and / or the switching device can preferably be designed to carry out a method according to the invention. The different method steps can thus be implemented in the drive device according to the invention, so that the drive device has increased safety. Furthermore, it can be provided that the drive device comprises a mechanical braking device, by means of which at least one wheel of the motor vehicle can be mechanically braked. Thereby the electric machine can e.g. when high currents occur, mechanically relieved by a braking maneuver
become. It is thus conceivable that the control unit is an operational monitoring module

Operation monitoring module can be activated.
According to a further aspect of the invention, a motor vehicle with a drive device according to the invention for operating at least one wheel of the motor vehicle is claimed. The operation of the wheel can include driving and / or braking. In particular, the drive device can thus be designed to drive and / or brake the wheel. A motor vehicle according to the invention thus has the same advantages as have already been described in detail with reference to a drive device according to the invention and / or a method according to the invention. The motor vehicle can preferably have at least two wheels driven by electrical machines

For this purpose, transmission 102.1 of an electrical pulse 200 to one of the three phases 21 and measurement 102.2 of a current parameter 201 at the respective phase 21 can be provided. Figure 6 shows a detection module 13 of a control unit 12 of the drive device 10, in which a pulse generator 13.1 is provided, through which the electrical pulse 200 can be sent to one of the three phases 21 and at least one phase current sensor 22, which in relation to the electrical pulse 200 is arranged behind the phase 21. The electrical pulse 200 can be detected by the phase current sensor 22, preferably on the basis of a current parameter 201. In particular, the current parameter 201 can include an electrical voltage, a current intensity and / or the like. If the electrical pulse 200 is now registered by the phase current sensor 22 only with a lower intensity or not at all, it can be concluded that the phase 21 lying between the phase current sensor 22 and the pulse generator 13.1 is the failed phase. In particular, the transmission 102.1 of the electrical pulse 200 and the measurement 102.2 of the current parameter 200 can be repeated for each of the three phases 21, in particular one after the other or simultaneously, in particular until the failed phase 21 is recognized.
Furthermore, an identification 103 of a defect type of the defect can preferably be provided. Possible types of defects can in particular be a defective inverter 23 of the multiphase circuit 20 and / or a defective phase 21.
