Publication number: 20190140499Abstract: A rotating electric machine has a drive control part and a motor having a stator and a rotor. The drive control part has an external disturbance voltage instruction generation part, a switching signal generation part, first and second drive circuits, a current acquisition part detecting an external disturbance current flowing in three phase winding in each of a first coil and a second coil of the stator, and a phase angle estimation part detecting a phase angle of the rotor of the motor based on the detected external disturbance current. The drive control part adjusts turn-on/turn-off timings of switching signals so as to reduce a timing difference between corresponding line external disturbance voltages in the three phase windings more than the time difference without performing the timing adjustment while maintaining a duty ratio of these line external disturbance voltages to that when the timing adjustment is not performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Tomoya TAKAHASHI

Patent number: 9970403Abstract: When a start condition is satisfied after the internal combustion engine has been stopped according to an automatic stop control, a control apparatus reversely rotates the engine to compress an air in an expansion stroke cylinder at that time point, and thereafter generates a first time combustion. The apparatus determines whether the start condition becomes satisfied based on a first start request owing to a driving operation by a driver of a vehicle on which the engine is mounted. When the start condition becomes satisfied based on the first start request, the control apparatus makes a maximum value of an engine generating torque by the first time combustion and/or a maximum torque of the engine generating torque by a second time combustion larger as compared to when the start condition becomes satisfied based on a second start request other than the first start request.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Hayashima, Mitsuhiro Tabata, Koji Murakami, Tomoya Takahashi
