    摘要: [Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide an electric power steering apparatus that is possible to actively return the steering wheel to the neutral point at the vehicle running state to give back to a straight running state by calculating the return control current corresponding to the steering angle and the motor angular velocity/Gr ratio and by compensating the current command value. [Means for solving the problem] The present invention comprises an active-return control section that calculates a return control current based on a steering angle, the vehicle speed and a motor angular velocity/Gr ratio, and drives the motor by a compensated-current command value obtained by subtracting the return control current from the current command value, wherein the active-return control section comprises a base-return control current calculating section that calculates a base-return control current, a target steering velocity calculating section that calculates a target steering velocity, a return control gain calculating section that obtains a deviation between the target steering velocity and the motor angular velocity/Gr ratio and sign-processes, and calculates a return control gain by at least two among a P-control calculation, an I-control calculation and a D-control calculation, a limiter that limits a maximum value of the return control gain, and a correcting section to output the return control current by correcting the base-return control current with an output of the limiter.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting failure of a steering angle sensor include: a steering angle sensor (10), an angular position encoder (60) and an electronic control unit (20). The electronic control unit (20) reads an initial value of the steering wheel rotation angle signal and estimates a rotation angle of a steering wheel based on the motor rotation angle signal, the electronic control unit checks if a difference between an actual value of the steering wheel rotation angle signal and an estimated rotation angle of the steering wheel is smaller than a predetermined value or not, if the difference is bigger than the predetermined value, it means that the steering wheel rotation angle signal fails, and the estimated rotation angle of the steering wheel serves as a substitute signal and is sent to the electronic control unit.

    摘要: An electric power assisted steering system comprising a torque sensor assembly comprising an input shaft, an output shaft, a torsion bar that interconnects the input shaft and the output shaft, and a processing means which produces a torque signal indicative of the torque carried by the torsion bar, an electric motor that is connected to the output shaft, and a motor position sensor that provides a motor position signal dependent on the angular position of the motor rotor that repeats each time the motor has rotated through a known angular range. The apparatus further including processing means that generates an absolute output shaft position signal from the motor position signal by adding to the output of the motor position sensor a first term indicative of the fixed offset between the motor position sensor zero position and the zero position of the input shaft and a second term indicative of the number of turns of the motor rotor away from the zero position of the input shaft. The processing means determines the base motor position value at start up of the system by comparing the motor position signal from the position sensor with the signal from the sensor associated with the sensing means of the upper shaft to determine three candidates and during subsequent unpowered motion of the steering system rules out candidates until only one remains plausible candidate.

    摘要: In an electric power steering system, an ECU (29) calculates a steering angle of a steering wheel (2) based on an output of a rotation angle sensor (28) and an EPS gear ratio (a gear ratio between a rack portion (13a) and a pinion shaft (11a) and a speed reducing ratio of a transmission mechanism (24)). The ECU (29) calculates a correction amount for canceling a steering deviation caused due to a temperature change, based on a temperature of a rack shaft (13) detected by a temperature sensor (15) and a map (M) stored in a memory (29a), and corrects the correction amount by adding the correction amount to the calculated steering angle.

    摘要: The invention relates to a Method to control a steering apparatus comprising following steps: (A) Checking at every time whether there is a straight run state of the vehicle or not; (B) If the straight run state of vehicle is reached, determines the instantaneous rack position (R) and calculates a new offset as to a difference between the instantaneous rack position (R) and the first position (R0) of said rack (7); (C) Checking in a first justify operation, whether the new offset of the rack position in the straight run state of vehicle to the first rack position differs to an old offset, which where determined as the new offset at an earlier time, and set in this case the first justify result as to true and otherwise as to false; (D) Checking in a second justify operation, whether the pull situation value exceeds a threshold value and set in this case the second justify result as to true and otherwise as to false; (E) If the first and second justify results are true, set a suspension device status as to a "suspension damaged" status; (F) If the first justify result is true and the second justify result is false, set a belt jump status as to a "belt jumped" status.
