Patent number: 8783118Abstract: A bending load acting on a steering shaft only with a magnetostrictive torque sensor, without separately providing a sensor for detecting the bending moment. A storage unit stores, as an initial characteristic curve formed from initial detection values, a characteristic curve formed from detection values of each of a first detection coil and a second detection coil when only twisting torque is applied to a steering shaft. A bending load detector provided in an ECU detects a bending load amount acting on the steering shaft based on a difference between each detection value of the first and second detection coils and the initial detection value on the initial characteristic curve corresponding to the detection value.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Kato, Takeshi Wakabayashi, Katsumi Sahoda, Tsuyoshi Tsuda, Hiroyuki Kaneta

Patent number: 8567262Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus includes a steering shaft for transmitting a steering force of a steering handlebar to a wheel and an upper bearing provided at a location upward from a vehicle body frame so as to rotatably support an upper part of the steering shaft. A lower bearing is provided at a location downward from the vehicle body frame, so as to rotatably support a lower part of the steering shaft. A torque sensor detects a torsional torque applied to the steering shaft. An electric motor imparts a steering force to the steering shaft based on the torsional torque detected by the torque sensor. The electric motor is mounted to the steering shaft between the upper bearing and the lower bearing, while the torque sensor is mounted to the steering shaft at place upward from the upper bearing.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Tsuda, Takeshi Wakabayashi, Shinichiro Kato, Hiroyuki Kaneta, Katsumi Sahoda
