  • Patent number: 12091101
    Abstract: A steering input device for steer-by-wire, according to the present invention, includes a steering shaft that is mechanically separated from a steered wheel, a reaction force motor that applies a steering load to the steering shaft, a lock mechanism that regulates rotation of the steering shaft, a steering amount sensor that detects an operation amount of the steering shaft and outputs an operation amount signal, and a controller. The controller increases the reaction torque generated by the reaction force motor after the starting switch of the vehicle is switched to an OFF state, and after the reaction torque is increased, switches the lock mechanism to a locked state. Thereby, it is possible to suppress an uncomfortable sensation of the driver in steering, while suppressing occurrence of a phase shift between the steering wheel and the steered wheel when the starting switch of the vehicle is switched to the OFF state.

  • Publication number: 20230054469
    Abstract: A motor shaft is rotated to a predetermined rotation stop position by excitation of two-phase coils out of three-phase coils of a stator coil, and a detection value of a rotation angle sensor at the rotation stop position is acquired. Further, a sensor-error correction parameter for correcting a detection value of the rotation angle sensor in drive control of an electric motor is generated from the acquired detection value of the rotation angle sensor. With this configuration, in rotating a motor rotor to the predetermined rotation stop position, two coils out of the three-phase coils of the stator coil are excited. By sequentially changing the coils being excited, it is possible to cause the motor rotor to stop accurately at the predetermined rotation stop position.
