Patent number: 11718388Abstract: A flow control method is a flow control method of controlling flow around a blade of a rotary wing, a plasma actuator being disposed at the blade. The flow control method includes: determining a characteristic frequency ratio that is a characteristic value among frequency ratios, each of the frequency ratios being a ratio between an actuator driving frequency and an angle of attack changing frequency, the actuator driving frequency being a frequency of an applied voltage applied to the plasma actuator, the angle of attack changing frequency being a frequency at which an angle of attack of the blade changes in accordance with a rotation angle of the blade; setting the actuator driving frequency such that the frequency ratio becomes the characteristic frequency ratio; and applying a voltage of the set actuator driving frequency to the plasma actuator to control the flow around the blade.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignees: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Hidemasa Yasuda, Akio Ochi, Kenji Hayama, Tomoka Tsujiuchi, Kazuyuki Nakakita, Taku Nonomura, Atsushi Komuro, Keisuke Takashima

Patent number: 11290044Abstract: Provided is a motor control device capable of suppressing a sudden change in torque due to spike noise. A control device (motor control device) continues motor control using dq-axis current command values Id* and Iq* (current command values) or dq-axis detection current values real_Id and real_Iq before detecting a noise state (detection current values before a current supplied to a motor suddenly changes) instead of dq-axis detection current values real_Id and real_Iq (latest detection current values) when the current changes suddenly.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: HITACHI ASTEMO LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Komuro, Kohei Myoen

Patent number: 9455655Abstract: A motor control system can suppress production costs, suppress the occurrence of unexpected excessive torque, and continue system operation as much as possible even when the diagnosis results of a monitoring device are abnormal. A computation device computes a voltage command value indicating the voltage to impose on a motor. Based on the voltage command value, the computation device generates a control signal that controls a drive device. When the diagnosis results of the monitoring device are normal, the computation device computes the voltage command value so that the absolute value of the detection value of current flowing to the motor is no greater than a second threshold, and when the diagnosis results of the monitoring device are abnormal, the computation device computes the voltage command value so that this absolute value is no greater than a third threshold that is smaller than the second threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Kohei Myoen, Atsushi Komuro

Publication number: 20150167615Abstract: If the control of a motor becomes impossible, the motor appropriately stops, and drive wheels are driven by an engine to enable retraction travel. A motor/generator 4 is used to drive drive wheels of a vehicle, and start an engine 3. A motor controller 22 implements a first control mode for controlling the motor/generator 4 on the basis of a command from an integrated controller 20 if a CAN communication with the integrated controller 20 is normal. The motor controller 22 implements a second control mode for controlling the motor/generator 4 on the basis of control information stored in advance to allow the motor/generator 4 to start the engine 3 when the engine 3 is in stop if the CAN communication with the integrated controller 20 is abnormal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2013Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Atsushi Komuro, Fumihiro Itaba, Kentaro Shiga
