Abstract:
There are provided a torque detection apparatus with high reliability and an electric power steering system and a vehicle which use the torque detection apparatus. The torque detection apparatus (30) detects the torque based upon a difference in the terminal voltage of the pair of detection coils. In this situation, the torque detection apparatus (30) outputs two analog torque signals (analog main torque signal Tma and analog sub torque signal Tsa) to the ECU (15), and outputs to the ECU (15) a digital communication signal S in which digital torque values obtained by converting the two analog torque signals to a digital format (main torque value Tm and sub torque value Ts) and diagnosis information Diag of the torque sensor circuit are superimposed.
Abstract:
To provide a motor drive control device, an electric power steering device, and a vehicle which can individually diagnose abnormalities of magnetic detection elements, designed in a multisystem configuration to include at least two systems, for each system. A motor drive control device includes two systems of first and second rotation information detection function units. The first and second rotation information detection function units include first and second rotation position information detection units and first and second rotation information detection units. The first and second rotation information detection units individually diagnose their own abnormalities based on first and second motor rotation position signals detected by the first and second rotation position information detection units.

A rotation angle detection device includes: a rotating body having magnetic tracks on which magnetic pole pairs are arranged at even intervals in concentric ring shapes; magnetic sensors each configured to detect a magnetic field of a corresponding one of the magnetic tracks and output a sine signal and a cosine signal; storage configured to store magnetic sensor correction information; a correction calculator configured to correct the sine signal and the cosine signal based on the magnetic sensor correction information; a phase detector configured to calculate a phase of the corrected sine signal and the corrected cosine signal; a phase difference detector configured to calculate a phase difference between a plurality of the phases; and an angle calculator configured to convert the phase difference into an absolute angle.
Abstract:
The motor drive control apparatus includes first and second rotation information detection function units and a power control unit. When it is determined the ignition switch is changed from the ON state to the OFF state, the power control unit intermittently supplies power from a battery to the first and second rotation information detection function units at a first interval while a motor rotation number is lower than a preset rotation number set in advance. When it is determined the motor rotation number becomes equal to or higher than the preset rotation number during this intermittent supply state, the power control unit intermittently supplies the power from the battery to the first and second rotation information detection function units at a second interval shorter than the first interval while the motor rotation number is equal to or higher than the preset rotation number.

Based on a first sine signal representing sin(θos+Δθ) and a first cosine signal representing cos(θos+Δθ) in accordance with a rotation angle(θis) of a first multipolar ring magnet that synchronously rotates with an input shaft from between the coaxially arranged input shaft and an output shaft, and based on a second sine signal representing sin θos and a second cosine signal representing cos θos in accordance with a rotation angle(θos) of a second multipolar ring magnet that synchronously rotates with the output shaft, sin Δθ and cos Δθ are calculated in accordance with a relative angle(Δθ) between the input shaft and the output shaft, and from Δθ=arctan(sin Δθ/cos Δθ), the relative angle(Δθ) is calculated.
