    摘要: An inverter device is provided. The inverter device converts power from a power source and drives a motor. The inverter device includes an inverter circuit having a switch, a driver circuit that switches the switch on and off, and a controller that controls the driver circuit. The controller has a speed calculator used to calculate a minimum speed of the motor based on a power source voltage. After the controller performs fail-safe control, when a speed of the motor is less than the minimum speed, the fail-safe control is ended.

    摘要: A capacitor module that smooths a voltage of an inverter circuit includes a supply assembly including a connection terminal to the inverter circuit, an alternating-current assembly including a capacitor and a first bus bar, and a direct-current assembly including a second bus bar connecting a DC power source and the supply assembly. The alternating-current assembly and the direct-current assembly are side by side in a plan view and one side view of the capacitor module, and are arranged with the side surfaces thereof opposing each other in an opposite side view. The supply assembly is located inside an outer peripheral region collectively surrounding both the alternating-current assembly and the direct-current assembly in the plan view.

    摘要: An inverter device includes a motor, a power supply that supplies the motor with electric current, an inverter that, during regenerative operation of the motor, performs switching between a first state in which regenerative current generated in the motor is returned to the motor again and a second state in which the regenerative current is supplied to the power supply, a first detector that detects a first condition electrically acting on the inverter, a second detector that detects a second condition electrically acting on the power supply, and a determiner that performs a first determination to perform switching between the first state and the second state, based on a detection result by the first detector or the second detector.

    摘要: A motor controller that controls a motor including two windings includes a calculator to compute a current instruction value to drive the motor, a first motor driver to supply a first current to one of the windings based on the current instruction value, a second motor driver to supply a second current to the other of the windings based on the current instruction value, a first current detector to detect the first current supplied to the motor from the first motor driver, and a second current detector to detect the second current supplied to the motor from the second motor driver. The calculator supplies a first forced current to the first motor driver, and a second forced current in opposite phase of the first forced current to the second motor driver to determine an abnormality of the first current detector and/or the second current detector.

    摘要: An electrical parking brake device includes an operation switch and a control circuit. The operation switch includes a switch button, miniature switches, operation switch terminals and inside conductors, the switch button being in one of an On state, an Off state and a neutral state, the miniature switches operating in conjunction with the state of the switch button. The control circuit includes control circuit terminals, a switch verification circuit, management circuitry and brake application command circuitry, the management circuitry managing the electrical parking brake device. The operation switch defines closed circuits that are independent in terms of a pair of the operation switch terminals, for each of the operating states. The closed circuits are closed circuits that, when one or more of the miniature switches fail, avoids influence of the failure, by the miniature switches other than the one or more failing miniature switches.

    摘要: A monitoring apparatus includes an image-forming optical system aimed forward, an image sensor, an antenna, a first circuit board, a waveguide, an upper case, an information-processing circuit, a second circuit board, a connector, and a power-supply circuit. The connector is disposed at a rear side relative to the image-forming optical system. The power-supply circuit includes at least one capacitor, and a capacitor that is positioned at a highest location out of all of the at least one capacitor is disposed at a rear side relative to the image-forming optical system, which prevents the capacitor from obstructing the visual field of the image-forming optical system. Thus, the image-forming optical system is able to be located close to the power-supply circuit because the monitoring apparatus is very small in height.

    摘要: A control device includes angular velocity detecting circuitry, feedback circuitry, torque command calculation circuitry, a limiter, a drive controller, and correction circuitry. The angular velocity detecting circuitry detects an angular velocity of a motor. The feedback circuitry obtains a feedback value from the angular velocity. The torque command calculation circuitry obtains a torque command value according to a superordinate torque command value supplied from a superordinate device and the feedback value. The limiter limits the torque command value obtained by the torque command calculation circuitry so as not to exceed a preset torque upper limit value. The drive controller performs a drive control of the motor according to the limited torque command value. The correction circuitry corrects the superordinate torque command value or the torque command value according to the feedback value and the superordinate torque command value.

    摘要: A failure diagnosis method for an inverter circuit includes a first monitoring step of monitoring an inter-terminal voltage between a high-potential-side terminal and a low-potential-side terminal of each of a plurality of driving devices included in the inverter circuit, and a second monitoring step of monitoring a power supply voltage of the inverter circuit. A determination step of determining whether there is a failure in each of the driving devices from a value of the inter-terminal voltage and a value of the power supply voltage is included.
