Patent number: 10196085Abstract: In an electric power steering device assisted by a brushless motor, an induced voltage from a brushless motor is detected when a main power supply is off. The motor is determined to be in a high rpm state when the induced voltage is in a first transient state from a voltage?a high rpm detection threshold Th1 to a voltage?Th1, thereby setting an intermittent excitation cycle of a revolution angle sensor connected to the motor to a short cycle. The motor is determined to be in a low rpm state when the induced voltage becomes a voltage?a high rpm detection threshold Th2 after a wait period corresponding to an electrical angle between peaks or valleys of an output voltage has elapsed in a second transient state from a voltage?Th1 to a voltage?Th2, thereby setting the cycle to a long cycle.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Hajime Iida, Hiroshi Gokan, Kenji Ogawa
