  • Patent number: 9688161
    Abstract: A slip control device for an electric vehicle which accurately determines slippage occurrence with only a rotation angle sensor for motor rotation control and perform rapid control to eliminate the slippage, is provided. A threshold calculation module (21) calculates a normal angular acceleration of a motor depending on a manipulation amount of an accelerator to obtain a threshold, and an angular acceleration calculator (22) differentiates a detection value from a rotation angle sensor (3a) twice to calculate an angular acceleration. A slip determination (23) determines whether a drive wheel (7) has slipped, and a torque limitation (25) limits a torque when a slippage has occurred. The determination (23) determines the angular acceleration and a threshold. The determination (23) counts a number of consecutive times it is determined that the threshold is exceeded, and determines that a slippage has occurred, if the number of consecutive times has reached a set value.

  • Patent number: 9555721
    Abstract: A slip control device for an electric automobile includes a maximum rotation frequency calculator to calculate a drive wheel maximum rotation frequency Nmax on the basis of a rotation frequency N1 of a driven wheel and an ideal slip ratio ?min according to the formula (Nmax?N1)/N1=?min. It is determined whether a drive wheel rotation frequency N2 exceeds the frequency Nmax. If it is determined that the frequency N2 exceeds the frequency Nmax, a torque command value to a motor unit is made to be zero.

  • Patent number: 9475396
    Abstract: A slip control device for an electric vehicle which determines without error slippage occurrence with only a rotation angle sensor for motor rotation control and perform rapid control to eliminate the slippage. A threshold calculator calculates a normal angular acceleration of a motor depending on a manipulation amount of an accelerator to obtain a threshold, and an angular acceleration calculator differentiates a detection value from a rotation angle sensor twice to calculate an angular acceleration. A slip determination determines whether a wheel driven by a motor has slipped, and a torque limitation limits a torque when determining a slippage. The determination compares the calculated acceleration to the threshold, counts a number of times it is consecutively determined that the calculated acceleration exceeds the threshold, and determines a slippage if the number of times has reached a set value.

  • Publication number: 20160193919
    Abstract: In a slip control device for an electric vehicle, a slip control section is provided which is configured to perform, in a control repetition cycle, a series of slip control of determining whether or not a slip state has occurred, on the basis of the number of rotations of a drive wheel and the number of rotations of a driven wheel observed by respective rotation number observation sections and, and decreasing a torque command value to a motor if the slip state has occurred. A vehicle speed detection section configured to detect a vehicle speed and a control repetition cycle change section configured to lengthen the control repetition cycle of the slip control section when the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection section is in a predetermined low-speed range, are provided.

  • Publication number: 20160075256
    Abstract: A slip control device for an electric automobile which assuredly eliminates a slippage with a simple configuration without involving a wasted decrease in running performance, is provided. A maximum rotation frequency calculator 22 calculates a drive wheel maximum rotation frequency Nmax on the basis of a rotation frequency N1 of a driven wheel and an ideal slip ratio ?min according to the following formula, (Nmax?N1)/N1=?min. It is determined whether a drive wheel rotation frequency N2 exceeds the frequency Nmax. If it is determined that the frequency N2 exceeds the frequency Nmax, a torque command value to a motor unit 3 is made to be zero.

  • Publication number: 20150333670
    Abstract: A synchronous motor control device for an electric vehicle is provided which is able to reduce torque ripple through simple calculation and is excellent in practicability. In a synchronous motor control device which controls a traction synchronous motor, torque ripple compensation unit is provided which adds, to a motor drive current, a sine-wave correction current whose phase is opposite to that of torque ripple which is generated in the motor and has a frequency which is six times that of a rotation speed of the motor. Specifically, in the case of a configuration including a vector control type basic controller, the torque ripple compensation unit outputs a correction current command iq_c, and a value iq_ref obtained by adding the correction current command iq_c to a q-axis current command is used for control.

  • Publication number: 20140172236
    Abstract: A control device for controlling a steer-by-wire steering control device includes a switch mechanism for detaching a main motor and transmitting a rotation of a sub motor to establish a failsafe mode in which a turning is possible. A first control device controls a reactive force actuator and the sub motor. A second control device drives a main motor. The first control device has an abnormal case switch command unit and, when receiving a result of diagnosis that the main motor fails to operate properly, or when the mutual trouble diagnosis unit diagnoses that the second control device is in a trouble, the switch mechanism is set to the failsafe mode.

  • Publication number: 20080260216
    Abstract: A method for fingerprint image encryption and recognition in the fingerprint recognition system includes: inputting a characteristic fingerprint image through a fingerprint acquisition device of the said system by a user as per a selected angle of imaging; extracting characteristic data from said characteristic fingerprint image; and storing said characteristic data in a form of data module to complete the encryption of the fingerprint image. A method of the present invention may change the data information of existing individual fingerprint characteristics by changing the angle of imaging when a fingerprint is input into the system so that the fingerprint image can be encrypted. Thus, the adverse consequences of a stolen fingerprint image can be avoided despite of objective openness of individual fingerprints. Methods of the invention minimize the security risks and protect users' interests.
