Patent number: 11837987Abstract: A motor control device controls a drive of a motor in a motor drive system including the motor and a detent mechanism. The detent mechanism has a detent member that rotates integrally with an output shaft to which the rotation of the motor is transmitted, and an engaging member that moves a valley portion by a rotation of the motor and positions the output shaft by stopping within a positioning range. The motor control device includes a positioning determination unit and an energization control unit. The positioning determination unit determines whether or not the engaging member is stopped within the positioning range based on control parameter other than a detection value of a motor rotation angle sensor that detects a motor rotation angle. When the energization control unit determines that the engaging member is stopped within the positioning range, the energization control unit turns off the energization of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Daisuke Yamamoto, Seiji Nakayama, Jun Yamada, Kouji Sakaguchi
