  • Patent number: 10690526
    Abstract: An apparatus for compensating for a position information error of a resolver includes: a resolver-digital converter configured to generate a corresponding output angle by estimating resolver position information from a resolver output signal; and a position error compensation learner configured to determine a position error component in a corresponding electric angular velocity of the resolver output signal using the resolver output signal and the output angle and to convert the position error component to a position error component in an electric angular velocity 0. The resolver-digital converter compensates for an error by reflecting the position error component in the electric angular velocity 0 in the error between a position angle of the resolver output signal and the output angle.

  • Patent number: 10507822
    Abstract: A method of decreasing vibration during release of a stop gear of a vehicle can be applied to an eco-friendly vehicle for decreasing vibration generated when a driver releases a P step of a gear lever while torsion occurs in a drive shaft of the vehicle. Reaction force torque of a driving motor is controlled so as to output reaction force that has been generated in a parking sprag by a driving motor when torsion occurs in the drive shaft after entrance of the gear lever into the P step, so as to decrease vibration generated because torsion reaction force of the drive shaft vanishes at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10401197
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for compensating for a position error of a resolver that compensates for positions in the overall speed range using resolver position error measured at a specific speed by providing an angle tracking observer (ATO) for calculating angle information. The ATO compensates for the position errors in the overall speed range based on the position errors measured at the specific speed, to an inside of a resolver-digital converter. The method includes digitalizing detected position information of the motor rotor and receiving the digitalized position information from a resolver-digital converter to measure the position error. An electrical angular velocity of the position error is determined and the position error at the electrical angular velocity 0 is calculated and stored. The position error at a current electrical angular velocity is converted into and compensated for using the calculated position error based on the current electrical angular velocity.

  • Patent number: 9893661
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-jerk control apparatus and method for an Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). The anti-jerk control apparatus includes a model speed calculation unit for calculating a model speed of the motor in a state in which a vibration of a drive shaft is not considered. A vibration occurrence determination unit detects a speed vibration component while calculating a reference speed difference and an average speed difference from differences between the model speed and an actual speed of the motor, thus determining whether a vibration occurs on the drive shaft. A torque correction value calculation unit calculates a motor torque correction value for anti-jerk required to damp the vibration of the drive shaft, and controls torque of the motor if the vibration occurrence determination unit determines that the vibration occurs on the drive shaft.
