    摘要: The starter motor power cables for the starter motor, having a relatively large cross sectional area and therefore involving a very little voltage drop, are used as a part of the motor drive power cables for the electric power steering system, and the length of the motor drive power cables can be thereby reduced with the net result that the overall voltage drop can be reduced, and a sufficient power output can be produced from the electric power steering system. Also, the reduction in the length of the motor drive power cables reduces the possibility of producing electromagnetic interferences.

    摘要: In a clutch control method of a motor-driven power steering apparatus, a clutch is disconnected when a change width of a steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor is a predetermined angle or less and a steering torque detected by a torque sensor is a predetermined torque or more in both the steering directions. A clutch controller of a motor-driven power steering apparatus includes a first transistor arranged between one terminal of the clutch coil and a power source, a second transistor arranged between the other terminal of the clutch coil and an earth, and a current sensor connected in series with the first and second transistor.

    摘要: An electric power steering unit has an armature shaft that is free from axial forces and hence may have less rigorous requirements for its strength so that it may be manufactured more efficiently at reduced cost. It comprises a rack-shaft 2 to be coupled to the guiding wheels of a vehicle, a housing A for slidably containing the rack-shaft 2 and holding therein a coupling section 6 for causing the teeth of the rack-shaft 2 to engage those of a pinion arranged on the steering column 5 linked to the steering handle of the vehicle and an electric motor 1 coaxially arranged around the rack-shaft 2, which the rotary force is transmitted to the rack-shaft 2 by way of a ball screw mechanism 3 as the steering assisting power. A nut section 19 is linked to the armature shaft 11 of the electric motor 1 and rotatably supported by the housing B. The reaction force from the rack-shaft 2 generated by the inertia of the armature shaft 11 is transmitted to the housing B by way of the nut section 19 so that the armature shaft 11 is free from any axial force.

    摘要: To provide a motor-driven power steering apparatus which can prevent the play of the handle from being generated at the time of steering and the noises from occurring at the time of a high rotation in a motor-driven power steering. In a motor-driven power steering apparatus mounted as a steering unit for steering running wheels such as front wheels or the like of a motor vehicle, the running wheels are steering-wheel turned by a steering assist force given by a brushless motor and a manual steering force given by operation of a steering handle. In a control circuit portion of this brushless motor, in accordance with a procedure of S1 to S8, the lead angle amount is computed in accordance with a detection signal from a torque sensor, and the rotation number is computed on the basis of a detection signal from the resolver, and the brushless motor is driven at an optimum lead angle obtained by correcting a lead angle amount corresponding to the load in accordance with the rotation number, and thereby it is possible to reduce a torque ripple at the time of a low rotation and reduce an electric current ripple at the time of a high rotation.

    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus includes a torsion bar, input and output shafts, an electric motor, and a detecting mechanism. The input and output shafts are coupled to each other by the torsion bar so as to be pivotally displaced in relation to each other. The electric motor is coupled to the output shaft so as to apply an auxiliary steering force. The detecting mechanism detects a relative, pivotal displacement of the input and output shafts. Main portions of the input and output shafts are coaxially arranged. One of the shafts is a cylindrical member having an outer end in which the torsion bar is housed. An inner end of one shaft is pivotally inserted in an opening of a cylindrical inner end of the other shaft. The detecting mechanism is arranged on the outer surface of an outer shaft of the input and output shafts at their overlap portion. A displacement transmitting portion for transmitting a displacement of one shaft to the detecting mechanism is formed in the inner end of one shaft so as to extend through the other shaft. The detecting mechanism can obtain a relative, pivotal displacement of the input and output shafts from a displacement of one shaft transmitted from the displacement transmitting portion.
