  • Patent number: 11387760
    Abstract: A motor control device includes: a second setting unit configured to set an armature current command value and a current phase angle command value based on a rotation speed and a motor torque command value; and a current vector setting unit configured to set a d-axis current command value and a q-axis current command value based on the armature current command value and the current phase angle command value. The second setting unit is configured to set the armature current command value and the current phase angle command value such that an armature current vector which is set based on the d-axis current command value and the q-axis current command value is included in an area surrounded by an armature current vector locus in maximum torque/current control and a vertical axis in a d-q coordinate system.

  • Publication number: 20220186809
    Abstract: There is provided a vibration control bush that allows improving durability. Formation of an outer periphery depressed portion 326 in an outer peripheral surface of a main body portion 20 forms a thickness dimension D3 in a radial direction of the main body portion 20 in a region overlapping with a projecting portion 340 in an axis 0 direction to be thinner than a thickness dimension D4 in another region where the projecting portion 340 is not formed. Accordingly, an outer diameter (a thickness in the radial direction) of the main body portion 20 in a compressed state of the projecting portion 340 is allowed to be easily made constant in a circumferential direction. This allows suppressing concentration of stress during the compression of the projecting portions 340 on a part of the main body portion 20, thereby ensuring improving durability of vibration control bushes 310 and 410.

  • Patent number: 10507788
    Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag, straps, and strap covers. The airbag is stored in a cowl portion. The airbag configured to be deployed on the front surface side of windshield glass, and to cover the cowl portion and front pillars at least in part. A first end of each of the straps is attached to an upper portion of an outer surface of the airbag in the vehicle up-down direction and a second end of each of the straps is attached to the cowl portion. The straps pass between the airbag and the strap covers. The strap covers are sewn to the outer surface of the airbag and cover the straps.

  • Patent number: 9726725
    Abstract: A power circuit abnormality detection method for a power circuit detects whether an abnormality in a power source relay exists. The power circuit includes a pre-charge circuit opening and closing a connection between a direct current power source and a smoothing condenser by bypassing the power source relay to pre-charge the smoothing condenser, and a discharge circuit connected in parallel to the smoothing condenser to discharge electric charges stored in the smoothing condenser via a discharge resistance when a discharge switch is closed. The power circuit abnormality detection method includes a step of detecting whether the open contact abnormality in the power source relay exists based on whether a charge voltage of the smoothing condenser is reduced when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since both the discharge circuit and the power source relay are closed after the pre-charge circuit is opened.

  • Publication number: 20150340975
    Abstract: A vehicle control device of a rotary electrical machine control device includes an application voltage generation unit that generates a voltage control signal that is used to apply a power supply voltage to a DC/DC converter at a voltage equal to or higher than the power supply voltage or at a voltage lower than the power supply voltage; and a voltage command value generation unit that generates a motor control signal that controls a drive motor. The voltage command value generation unit performs computation based on overmodulation PWM control as PWM control in the case where the application voltage that is lower than the power supply voltage is applied so as to output the motor control signal having a pulse width longer than a cycle of a PWM carrier.
