    摘要: Improved electric power steering equipment includes an electric motor as a driving device therefor wherein wetness detecting means is adapted to minimize reduction in the torque necessary for the steering operation to thereby improve the steering feeling of a driver. The wetness detecting means detects the degree of wetness of a vehicle or a road surface adjacent to the vehicle. The equipment according to the present invention also includes a control means for driving the electric motor in response to the steering torque detected by a torque detecting means and the degree of wetness detected by the wetness detecting means. Thus, wetness on a road is directly or indirectly detected by the wetness detecting means and based on the detecting results thereof, additional torque necessary for the steering operation is controlled, and therefore a driver can drive a vehicle with a relatively constant steering feeling at all times, regardless of various running states of the vehicle.

    摘要: A power steering system uses an electric motor to produce an auxiliary torque which is added to the torque applied to the steering wheel of a vehicle by the driver. The torque applied by the driver is detected by sensors. The system includes a control apparatus to control the operation of the motor according to the output signal from the sensors. The system further includes a closed electrical loop for feeding a signal corresponding to the output from the motor back to the input side of the loop. A variable-resistor is placed so that the amplification factor of an amplifier included in the loop can be changed by the resistor. The knob attached to the variable-resistor is disposed on the dashboard of the vehicle such that it can be reached by the driver's hand. This permits the driver to change the servo ratio, i.e., the ratio of the output torque of the power steering system to the input torque applied by the driver, while the vehicle is in motion.

    摘要: A power steering system makes use of an electric motor to produce an auxiliary torque added to the torque which is applied to the steering wheel of a vehicle by the driver. The system includes a motor driver for driving the motor and a motor braking circuit for braking the motor. When the torque manually applied to the steering shaft of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined reference torque, an electronic control apparatus causes the motor driver to energize the motor according to the difference between these two torques. When the former torque is less than the reference torque, the control apparatus causes the motor braking circuit to brake the motor. In this way, the torque that the driver of the vehicle must apply to steer the vehicle is maintained equal to the reference torque, irrespective of the vehicle velocity. The reference torque is set by means of a variable-resistor.

    摘要: A power steering system makes use of a direct-current servomotor to produce an auxiliary torque added to the torque which is applied to the steering wheel of a vehicle by the driver. The system includes an electronic apparatus, which receives a signal indicating the velocity of the vehicle, divides the whole range of the vehicle velocity into at least three ranges, and determines under which of these ranges the present velocity falls. In the lowest range, the control apparatus energizes the motor to produce such an auxiliary torque. In the middle range, the apparatus de-energizes the motor and so no auxiliary torque is generated. In the highest range, the apparatus connects a load such as a resistor with the coil in the motor to brake the rotation of the steering wheel.

    摘要: A positioning system is disclosed in which a rate of change .DELTA..DELTA.f in a Doppler shift .DELTA.f of the radio wave transmitted from a GPS satellite is detected in order to determine whether or not an extraordinary radio wave as caused by a multi-path or the like is being received, and a GPS satellite from which an extraordinary radio wave is received is excluded from a group of GPS satellites which are utilized in a positioning calculation. A difference .DELTA.f between a signal frequency f0 transmitted from a GPS satellite and a signal frequency fR receiver is calculated, and a rate of change .DELTA..DELTA.f in the difference .DELTA.f is also calculated. The position of a receiver is calculated on the basis of information transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites for which the rate of change .DELTA..DELTA.f is equal to or less than a first threshold value, or .DELTA..DELTA.f.ltoreq.30 Hz/s, and the azimuth of a traveling direction of the receiver is calculated on the basis of information transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites for which the rate of change .DELTA..DELTA.f is equal to or less than a second smaller threshold value or .DELTA..DELTA.f.ltoreq.15 Hz/s.
