  • Publication number: 20100286870
    Abstract: To accurately extract a pulsating component generated due to a cogging torque or a torque ripple to reduce a pulsation, the pulsating component is extracted using a bandpass filter having a variable time constant, and the time constant is set according to a frequency of cogging torque or torque ripple to be extracted. Further, a reference angle for a rotation angle of a motor is preset according to a generation harmonic order of the cogging torque or torque ripple, and the time constant of the bandpass filter is set from a time period required for the motor to rotate by the reference angle.

  • Publication number: 20100004824
    Abstract: A steering-torque detecting unit detects a steering torque applied by a driver as a steering torque signal. A phase-lag compensation unit performs an operation having a frequency response characteristic of multiplying a phase-lag compensation by a constant for the steering torque signal based on a signal obtained by applying an amplification by a first gain and a low pass filter on the steering torque signal and a signal obtained by applying an amplification by a second gain on the steering torque signal. A current control unit controls a current applied to a motor to follow a current command that is obtained based on an output of the phase-lag compensation unit.

  • Patent number: 6983818
    Abstract: In the control of an electric power steering apparatus, where so-called lead steering control is performed in which a steering wheel angle signal is output through a lead filter to correct reaction delay of a driver and a vehicle, a delay in control response occurs due to feedback of a road surface reaction force torque. When road surface reaction force torque is fed back to the steering wheel, it is added through a low-pass filter having a time constant equal to a reaction delay time constant of a driver. A sum signal is output through a lead filter to a second motor for controlling a steering shaft.
