Background
Engine-driven generators are power generation devices used for various purposes, for example, small diesel power supply devices, vehicle power supply systems, and the like, and are widely used, and particularly, the engine-driven generators are required to be space-saving, and are further used as motors for starting engines. However, in a general vehicle, the electrical load is usually loaded instantaneously, for example, the air conditioner is turned on and off, the load of the generator is increased by the instantaneous loading, and the load of the generator is driven by the engine, so that the load of the generator is increased by the load increase, and the load torque is increased, thereby reducing the output power that the engine should output to the transmission system, and the vehicle-mounted system reduces the output power of the generator when detecting the instantaneous increase of the electrical load.
However, in some situations, the electrical load may increase slowly, which may also increase the load of the generator, and affect the output power of the engine to the transmission system, for example, in order to facilitate the driving of people, a lot of driving assistance devices are added, such as automatic parking, automatic obstacle avoidance, and other assistance controls, the loading manner of the aforementioned assistance control is not the traditional instant on or instant off, but the load is increased at a slower speed, such as slowly rotating the steering wheel, and at this time, the traditional vehicle-mounted system cannot detect the slow loading generated by the system.
In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a generator control circuit, which can detect the instant loading and the slow loading to control the generator in a load response control mode, so as to slow down the rising slope of the power generated by the generator when the load increases, and to preferentially provide the output power of the engine to the required system.

Detailed Description
In order to provide a further understanding and appreciation for the structural features and advantages achieved by the present invention, the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiments is provided:
although certain terms are used herein to refer to particular elements, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that various names may be used to refer to the same element, and the description and claims are not intended to distinguish between the elements, but rather are intended to distinguish between the elements as a whole. In the following description and in the claims, the terms "include" and "comprise" are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean "include, but not limited to. Furthermore, the term "coupled" is intended to include any direct or indirect connection. Thus, if a first device couples to a second device, that connection may be through a direct connection, or through an indirect connection via other devices and other connections.
The alternator includes a rotor coil and a stator coil. In normal operation, when an excitation current is supplied to the rotor coil, the rotor coil generates a magnetic field. When an engine of an automobile drives the excited rotor coil to rotate, the excited rotor coil can generate a rotating magnetic field, and the rotating magnetic field enables the stator coil to generate alternating current electric energy. The alternating current electric energy generated by the alternating current generator is rectified by the rectifier to generate direct current electric energy so as to charge the energy storage element or directly supply power to a load.
In view of the fact that the conventional generator control system cannot detect the instantaneous loading and the slow loading to control the generator to slow down the generation of power, the present invention provides a generator control circuit to solve the control problem caused by the conventional technique.
The characteristics and the associated architecture of a generator control circuit according to the present invention will be further described as follows:
first, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, which are a block diagram of an embodiment of a generator system according to the present invention and a block diagram of a generator control circuit according to the present invention. As shown in the drawings, the

In the present embodiment, the detecting circuit 12 further includes a voltage detecting unit 122 and a rotation speed detecting unit 124. The voltage detecting unit 122 is coupled to the energy storage element B and the load L to detect voltage levels of the energy storage element B and the load L, i.e. detect a voltage level V

LOADThe operation is performed to generate a load curve, and the load variable can be obtained according to the load curve. The RPM detecting unit 124 is coupled to an on-board control unit ECU to directly obtain the engine RPM detected by the on-board control unit ECU, or coupled to the
In addition, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the

In turn, the control circuit 14 may further determine whether to execute the load response control mode according to other conditions. For example, the control circuit 14 further provides the rotation speed data D according to the detection circuit 12

Please refer to fig. 6, which is a graph illustrating tracking and load rejection according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the load rejection occurs, the voltage level V of the energy storage element B BATIt will rise briefly, then fall, and then rise to the desired level, for example, by turning off the cooling and warming machine, so that the load curve C3 will show a situation where it falls briefly, then rises and falls. When the load curve C3 rises, the variable slope is greater than the slope threshold, so the control circuit 14 determines that the load change is large and executes the load response mode, and thus a false determination occurs. For this reason, the control circuit 14 of the present invention can detect whether the direction of the variable slope of the load curve C3 is the same before and after the variable slope is greater than the slope threshold. As can be seen from fig. 6, if the load is unloaded, the variable slope of the load curve C3 will have opposite directions, i.e. the variable slope will have opposite signs. Therefore, when the control circuit 14 detects that the variable slope is greater than the slope threshold, it further tracks a detection time T DIf the direction of the detected variable slope of the load curve C3 is different before and after the variable slope is greater than the slope threshold, it indicates that the load change is a transient change of the load rejection state, and the load response mode does not need to be executed. If the direction of the variable slope of the detected load curve C3 is the same before and after the variable slope is greater than the slope threshold, which indicates that the load change is not a transient change of the load rejection state, but the load change is indeed large, the control circuit 14 executes the load response control mode.
As described above, the control circuit 14 executes the load response control mode to control the

In summary, the generator control circuit of the present invention can detect the situation that the load state of the generator is instantly loaded or slowly loaded, and execute the load response control mode to control the generator, so as to slow down the rising slope of the power generated by the generator, thereby slowing down the load of the generator on the engine, so as to preferentially provide the output power of the engine to the required system, for example, when the generator is applied to a vehicle, the output power of the engine can be preferentially provided to the transmission system or the driving assistance system. Conversely, when it is determined that no transient or creep loading has occurred, the control circuit may be disabled from executing the load responsive control mode, allowing the generator to contribute to powering the overall system and charging the energy storage element.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
