  • Patent number: 9564850
    Abstract: A door opening/closing control device includes: a controller controlling driving of an actuator opening or closing a door; a position detector detecting an opening/closing position of the door; a speed calculator calculating an opening/closing speed of the door based on a temporal change in the opening/closing position detected by the position detector; and a target assisting force calculator calculating target assisting force based on the opening/closing position and the opening/closing speed of the door. The controller controls the driving of the actuator to assist an operation of opening or closing the door based on the target assisting force calculated by the target assisting force calculator. Further, the controller controls the driving of the actuator such that the door is fully closed upon judgment that the opening/closing position of the door is in the vicinity of the fully closed position based on the opening/closing position detected by the position detector.

  • Patent number: 9522590
    Abstract: An unintentional operation of a door is prevented while the usability of the door is improved. A power back door control device includes: an operation signal acceptor configured to accept an operation signal of a back door opening/closing switch for performing an operation of opening or closing a back door of a vehicle; a controller configured to control opening/closing of the back door via a motor when the operation signal acceptor accepts the operation signal; and a stopping state detector configured to detect whether or not the vehicle is in a stopping state based on information about traveling or stopping of the vehicle acquired by a vehicle-side ECU. When the stopping state detector detects that the vehicle is not in the stopping state, the controller performs fixing control of the back door so as to keep the back door from moving.

  • Patent number: 9287821
    Abstract: A DC electric motor control device has a motor driving circuit that is constructed by a plurality of switching elements, a controller that operates the motor driving circuit to control a normal rotation or a reverse rotation of a DC electric motor, and an abnormality determination part that determines whether an abnormality is generated while the controller controls the DC electric motor. The controller previously performs reverse rotation control of the DC electric motor for a predetermined time using the motor driving circuit when performing normal rotation control of the DC electric motor, and the controller performs the normal rotation control only when the abnormality determination part determines that the abnormality is not generated during the reverse rotation control.

  • Patent number: 8917038
    Abstract: A motor control device has a drive circuit that drives an electric motor with a battery as a power supply, a switch element that is provided between the battery and the drive circuit, the switch element supplying a current from the battery to the drive circuit when being turned on, the switch element cutting off the current from the battery to the drive circuit when being turned off, a rotation speed detector that detects a rotation speed of the electric motor, and a controller that operates the drive circuit to control the electric motor. The controller turns on the switch element when the rotation speed of the electric motor, which is detected by the rotation speed detector, is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value during stopping of the control of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 8872458
    Abstract: A motor control device has a drive circuit that drives an electric motor with a battery as a power supply, a switch element that is provided between the battery and the drive circuit, the switch element supplying a current from the battery to the drive circuit when being put into an on state, the switch element cutting off the current from the battery to the drive circuit when being put into an off state, a voltage detector that detects a voltage at the drive circuit, and a controller that operates the drive circuit to control the electric motor. The controller turns on the switch element when the voltage at the drive circuit, which is detected by the voltage detector, is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value during stopping of the control of the electric motor.
