  • Patent number: 11967915
    Abstract: The vibration and noise generated in a permanent magnet synchronous motor are effectively suppressed. A motor control device 1 comprises: a triangular wave generation unit 17 which generates a triangular wave signal Tr that is a carrier wave, a carrier frequency adjustment unit 16 which adjusts a carrier frequency fc that represents a frequency of the triangular wave signal Tr, and a gate signal generation unit 18 which performs pulse-width modulation on three-phase voltage commands Vu*, Vv*, Vw* according to a torque command T* using the triangular wave signal Tr, thereby generating a gate signal for controlling an operation of an inverter. The carrier frequency adjustment unit 16 adjusts the carrier frequency fc so as to change a voltage phase error ??v representing a phase difference of the three-phase voltage commands Vu*, Vv*, Vw* and the triangular wave signal Tr based on the torque command T*, and a rotation speed ?r of a motor.

  • Publication number: 20230155533
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to sufficiently suppress a vibration and noise generated in a motor. A motor control device includes a first inverter circuit and a second inverter circuit of a redundant system, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit controlling a motor, and a control unit that controls the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit. The first inverter circuit converts the DC power into the AC power based on a PWM signal generated by using a first carrier signal. The second inverter circuit converts the DC power into the AC power based on a PWM signal generated by using a second carrier signal. The control unit shifts phases of the first carrier signal and the second carrier signal by using, as a reference, pulsation of an electromagnetic force caused by a magnetic circuit of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20230141601
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of properly performing motor control during overmodulation. In a motor control device 1, a carrier wave frequency adjusting unit 16 adjusts a carrier wave frequency fc so as to change a voltage phase error ??v representing the phase difference between three-phase voltage commands Vu*, Vv*, Vw* and a triangular wave signal Tr. When a modulation factor H in accordance with the voltage amplitude ratio between the DC power supplied from a high voltage battery to an inverter and AC power output from the inverter to a motor exceeds a predetermined value, for example, 1.15, a current control unit 14 corrects the amplitudes and phases of a d-axis voltage command Vd* and a q-axis voltage command Vq* on the basis of a carrier wave phase difference ??carr representing the phase of the triangular wave signal Tr.

  • Patent number: 11407396
    Abstract: An electric booster including an input member that is advanceably/retractably moved according to a brake pedal operation. An electric motor of an electric actuator advanceably/retractably moves a power piston. A master pressure control unit sets a target movement amount of the power piston according to an amount of a movement of the input member that is caused by the brake pedal, and controls the electric motor to move the power piston so as to achieve the target movement amount, thereby causing a brake hydraulic pressure to be generated in a master cylinder. The master pressure control unit includes a reaction force generation portion, which changes a characteristic of a hydraulic reaction force applied to the brake pedal. The reaction force generation portion corrects the target movement amount of the power piston according to a temporal change in the movement amount of the input member.
