  • Patent number: 11364948
    Abstract: There is provided an electric power steering device, including: a reverse steering detection unit configured to determine start of reverse steering when a magnitude of a rotational speed of a motor is equal to or smaller than a set speed, a rotational acceleration of the motor is in a direction of causing the rotational speed of the motor to become 0, and a magnitude of the rotational acceleration of the motor is equal to or larger than a set acceleration; and a current command control unit configured to output a current command for the motor based on the steering torque or the rotational speed of the motor, in which the current command control unit is configured to increase a transfer gain from input to output by the current command control unit when the reverse steering detection unit determines start of the reverse steering.

  • Patent number: 11338844
    Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus includes a high-frequency compensation unit that outputs a high-frequency compensation signal obtained by filtering the high-frequency components of an assist torque command signal and multiplying the filtered high-frequency components by a gain; a corrected steering torque signal obtained by negatively or positively feeding back the high-frequency compensation signal to a steering torque signal is inputted to an assist torque command calculation unit; the assist torque command calculation unit outputs the assist torque command signal in accordance with the corrected steering torque signal.

  • Patent number: 10536102
    Abstract: A main controller includes: a d-axis current limiter configured to calculate a d-axis current limiting value with priority, based on a dq-converted current limiting value, and calculate a limited d-axis current command value by clipping the d-axis current command value to be the d-axis current limiting value or less; a q-axis current limiter configured to calculate a q-axis current limiting value, based on the dq-converted current limiting value and the limited d-axis current command value, and calculate a limited q-axis current command value by clipping the q-axis current command value to be the q-axis current limiting value or less; and an inverter controller configured to control motor current, based on the limited d-axis current command value and the limited q-axis current command value.
