Abstract:
To be self-propelled in a simple configuration and to perform manual operation smoothly and briskly. A driving wheel includes: a base portion; a rotating shaft (first shaft) rotatably provided with respect to the base portion; a rotation member rotatably provided around the rotating shaft; a drive shaft (second shaft) provided on the rotation member orthogonally to the rotating shaft; a drive wheel provided on the rotation member and rotatable around the drive shaft; a drive unit provided on the rotation member and configured to rotationally drive the drive wheel; and a lock mechanism configured to permit rotation of the rotation member with respect to the base portion, and meanwhile, to deter the rotation of the rotation member with respect to the base portion.
Abstract:
There are provided an angle detection apparatus configured to correct an error included in angle information output from a multipolar angle detector, a motor having the angle detection apparatus, a torque sensor, an electric power steering apparatus, and a vehicle. A multiplication circuit (12) generates digital electrical angle information (θed) from analog angle information output from a multipolar optical encoder (11), a first differentiator 30 differentiates the electrical angle information (θed) to operate an electrical angular velocity (ωed), a first discontinuity correction circuit (31) carries out processing of correcting a discontinuity of an angular velocity in a temporal change for the electrical angular velocity (ωed), and a digital filter (32) carries out correction processing of reducing a high-frequency noise component for an electrical angular velocity (ωedc) corrected by the first discontinuity correction circuit (31).
Abstract:
There are provided a method for detecting an abnormality of a resolver, an angle detection device, a motor, and a transportation device, by which the abnormality can be detected promptly without the necessity of any complicated operations. There is provided a circuit configured to switch between a sine wave and a direct current voltage to be supplied, as an excitation signal of a resolver (2). Then, immediately after the power is turned on, the direct current voltage is applied to the resolver (2), and the output voltages of the phases of the resolver (2) are measured when the direct current voltage is applied. In this situation, the output voltages of the phases are compared with each other. When none of them matches each other, it is determined that an abnormality (short-circuit abnormality, short-circuiting) occurs at the resolver (2).
