Patent number: 11845501Abstract: Method for controlling a control motor, including an engine and an engine arranged in parallel, implementing: a distribution step determining a distributed torque, and a distributed torque from a target torque; a step adding a compensation request to the first distributed torque so as to determine a target motor torque; a step adding a compensation request to the distributed torque so as to determine a target motor torque; a production step in which the engine exerts a motor torque depending on the target motor torque; a step in which the engine exerts a motor torque depending on the target motor torque; the controlling method also including a permission step, configured to limit, or respectively authorize, the compensation request of a disturbance, or respectively of a failure, of the engine, and/or the compensation request, for a disturbance, or respectively a failure, of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: JTEKT EUROPEInventors: Xavier Palandre, Tahar Slama

Patent number: 11408754Abstract: A rotation angle detection apparatus includes a driving gear, two driven gears, two sensors, and an arithmetic circuit. The two driven gears have different numbers of teeth and each are in mesh with the driving gear. The arithmetic circuit is configured to compute a rotation angle of the driving gear based on the rotation angles of the two driven gears, detected through the two sensors. The arithmetic circuit is configured to, when a relationship between the rotation angles of the two driven gears, detected through the two sensors, is different from the relationship when the rotation angle of the driving gear, computed by the arithmetic circuit, is normal, detect an abnormality in the rotation angle of the driving gear, computed by the arithmetic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Shouta Zouza, Yuuki Nakashima, Yuji Fujita, Toshihiro Takahashi, Xavier Palandre

Patent number: 11251732Abstract: A motor control device includes processing circuitry configured to calculate a current command value corresponding to torque that should be generated by a motor, divide the calculated current command value into individual current command values for coil groups, control power feeding to the coil groups independently for each of the coil groups based on a corresponding one of the individual current command values, set, for each one of the coil groups, an upper limit value of a corresponding one of the individual current command values and, when the individual current command value for any one of the coil groups is limited to a value that is smaller than a corresponding one of the upper limit values, supplement an amount limited in the individual current command value by increasing the individual current command value for at least a remaining one of the coil groups.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignees: JTEKT CORPORATION, JTEKT EUROPE S.A.S.Inventors: Hiroshi Kawamura, Yuji Fujita, Xavier Palandre, Tahar Slama

Patent number: 11196364Abstract: A motor control device is configured to control a motor as a dynamic force source depending on a position of a rotation detection object that rotates while interlocking with the motor, the motor and the rotation detection object being included in a mechanical apparatus including a plurality of constituent elements that interlock with each other. The motor control device includes a computation circuit configured to compute an absolute rotation angle of the rotation detection object, using a relative rotation angle of a first constituent element of the mechanical apparatus that is detected through a relative angle sensor provided in the mechanical apparatus, and a rotation number conversion value resulting from converting an absolute rotation angle of a second constituent element of the mechanical apparatus that is detected through an absolute angle sensor provided in the mechanical apparatus, into a rotation number of the first constituent element.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Shouta Zouza, Yuuki Nakashima, Yuji Fujita, Toshihiro Takahashi, Xavier Palandre

Patent number: 7426427Abstract: A system for controlling and/or regulating an electric machine, particularly a crankshaft starter generator, of a motor vehicle is provided. The system has prioritization devices by which different priorities can be assigned to demands on the electric machine. Coordinating devices are provided for coordinating the prioritized demands. When several demands occur isochronously, the demand with the higher priority is, in each case, treated in a higher-ranking manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Xavier Palandre, Merten Jung
