Abstract
A control device is provided in a hybrid-driven auxiliary system using an engine and a motor as driving force. The control device includes: an auxiliary unit into which the motor is integrally assembled; current controlling means for controlling an electric current of the motor for driving or generating; current detecting means for detecting the electric current of the motor; and load torque computing means for computing, based on the electric current of the motor, a load torque when the auxiliary unit is operated.
Claims11
A control device in a hybrid-driven auxiliary system using at least one of an engine and a motor as driving force, the control device comprising:
- an auxiliary unit which is operated with at least one of the engine and the motor, wherein the motor is integrally assembled into the auxiliary unit;
- current controlling means for controlling one of two electric currents of a first electric current and a second electric current, wherein the first electric current is to be supplied to the motor while the motor is used as the driving force, wherein the second electric current is to be generated by the motor while the engine is used as the driving force;
- current detecting means for detecting one of the two electric currents controlled by the current controlling means;
- and
- load torque computing means for computing, based on the electric current detected by the current detecting means, a load torque when the auxiliary unit is operated.
A controlling method in a hybrid-driven auxiliary system operating, by using at least one of an engine and a motor as driving source, an auxiliary unit into which the motor is integrally assembled, the controlling method comprising steps of:
- controlling one of two electric currents of a first electric current and a second electric current, wherein the first electric current is to be supplied to the motor while the motor is used as the driving force, wherein the second electric current is to be generated by the motor while the engine is used as the driving force;
- detecting the one of the two electric currents during the controlling;
- and
- computing, based on the detected electric current, a load torque when the auxiliary unit is operated.
A computer program including a controlling method in a hybrid-driven auxiliary system that operates, by using at least one of an engine and a motor as driving force, an auxiliary unit into which the motor is integrally assembled, the computer program comprising steps of:
- controlling one of two electric currents of a first electric current and a second electric current, wherein the first electric current is to be supplied to the motor while the motor is used as the driving source, wherein the second electric current is to be generated by the motor while the engine is used as the driving force;
- detecting the one of the two electric currents during the controlling;
- and
- computing, based on the detected electric current, a load torque when the auxiliary unit is operated.
