  • Patent number: 9937950
    Abstract: In a CPU (10) for calculating a control amount of an electric power steering control apparatus including a motor for assisting a steering force of a steering wheel generated by a driver of a vehicle, a filter section (18) subjects a value of a motor rotation speed calculating section (17) for calculating an rotation speed of a motor (4) to filter processing, to thereby output the resultant value to a target d-axis current value setting section (11b). With this configuration, in a high-torque and high-motor-rotation speed region, responsiveness of a target d-axis current value with respect to the motor rotation speed is decreased, to thereby suppress vibrations and noise when the steering wheel is operated.

  • Patent number: 9130497
    Abstract: A control device for an AC rotating machine includes a voltage command calculation means (1) that calculates voltage commands on rotation two axes and a voltage applying means (2) that applies a voltage to an AC rotating machine (3), based on voltage commands on the rotation two axes outputted by the voltage command calculation means (1); the voltage command calculation means (1) calculates first-axis and second-axis voltage commands on the rotation two axes and reduces the limit value of the second-axis voltage command in proportion to the squared first-axis voltage command.

  • Patent number: 8478485
    Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus is configured in such a way as to include a first filtering unit that applies filtering processing to the detected steering torque signal and outputs the processed torque signal; a control unit that generates and outputs a motor drive signal, based on a steering torque signal outputted from a first filtering unit; a second filtering unit that applies filtering processing to the detected steering torque signal and outputs the processed torque signal; and an interlock unit that generates and outputs a motor drive inhibition signal, based on the steering torque signal outputted from the second filtering unit. The second filtering unit performs filtering processing in such a way as to output a steering torque signal the same as or similar to the steering torque signal that is outputted from the first filtering unit at least when a vehicle is in a predetermined driving condition.
