    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus comprises a charge-discharge circuit capable of configuring a circuit for charging an auxiliary power supply and a circuit for discharging a battery and the auxiliary power supply as well as configuring a discharge-preference circuit which enables only the discharge of the auxiliary power supply while avoiding the charge thereof. In the apparatus, a control circuit performs a power latch operation of carrying on control till the end of a predetermined period of time following an operation of turning off an ignition key, and also causes the charge-discharge circuit to configure the discharge-preference circuit thereby enabling steering assist accompanied by the discharge of the auxiliary power supply.

    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus drives a motor to generate a steering assist force according to a steering torque and includes an output circuit for supplying the motor with electric power from at least one of a battery and an auxiliary power supply. The electric power steering apparatus has a control circuit which at or after detection of a breakdown of the battery, determines a length of time to the end of steering assist (decreasing time t1) based on the amount of energy stored in the auxiliary power supplies and which takes the determined length of time to perform output decreasing control to gradually decrease the upper limit of power supplied for the steering assist to practically zero according to a constant gradient. Thus is provided an electric power steering apparatus which is adapted to prevent a sudden fall of the steering assist force in the event of a battery breakdown while effectively utilizing the available stored energy.

    摘要: An inverter energy consumption calculating portion estimates the actual power consumption of a steering operation assist motor after an engine is placed in an idle-stop state, and a command value of current to be supplied to the steering operation assist motor is limited such that the command value is smaller as the energy consumption is larger. The inverter energy consumption calculating portion calculates the energy consumption of an inverter drive circuit by integrating an amount of electric power consumed by the drive circuit.
