Patent number: 10458420Abstract: The control section controls the electric motor to be driven such that the number of revolutions becomes equal to the target number of revolutions. If the control section sets the target number of revolutions to a number of revolutions of the electric motor requested by another control section, the control section changes the number of revolutions of the electric motor at an increase rate lower than or equal to the upper limit value of the increase rate or at a decrease rate lower than or equal to the upper limit value of the decrease rate. If the control section sets the target number of revolutions to a number-of-revolutions limit value, which is determined based on the voltage of a vehicle battery, the control section is able to decrease the number of revolutions of the electric motor at a decrease rate exceeding the upper limit value.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Takashi Kawashima, Yoshiki Nagata, Kazuki Najima
