    摘要: A power steering control system is provided with a road surface reaction torque detector in which a motor inertia torque is subtracted from a value obtained by adding steering torque and motor torque, and the value is passed through two stages of primary filters to obtain a road surface reaction torque. In such a computation, the inertia term of the steering wheel manipulation force does not depend on frequency and high frequency components do not bring about any unusually large steering wheel return force. Therefore, a driver can drive without difficulty in adapting to the power steering.

    摘要: An electric power steering controller and a control method for assisting a driver during handling a steering wheel in a condition of a small road surface reaction torque of a tire by generating an auxiliary return torque for letting the steering wheel return to its original position. A first road surface reaction torque is estimated from a steering torque of a driver detected by a steering torque detector, a motor acceleration detected by a motor acceleration detector, and a motor current detected by a motor current detector. A second road surface reaction torque is estimated from a steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor, and a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detector. Then, first and second auxiliary return torque signals of the steering wheel are computed from a road surface reaction torque, and, based on the computed result, a torque of the motor is controlled in direction so the steering wheel is returned to its original position.

    摘要: An electrically-operated steering apparatus in which in addition to avoiding an increase in cost caused by installing a new sensor or using a high process speed CPU, steering feels, such as steering wheel return, viscous feeling, inertial feeling and frictional feeling, are improved. In addition to assisting a static steering torque on the basis of a torque sensor, with a motor-applied voltage detection circuit capable of removing the square wave component attendant on the PWM drive of a motor, a motor angular velocity .omega. is estimated from the output data of the relevant circuit. A motor angular acceleration d.omega./dt is estimated from the motor angular velocity .omega. by using a differential calculator. The steering friction and the moment of inertia are compensated on the basis of the motor angular velocity .omega. and motor angular acceleration d.omega./dt, respectively.

    摘要: An electric power steering controller including a motor for generating torque for assisting the steering torque of a driver to assist the steering force of a steering system. The controller includes a road reaction torque detector for detecting road reaction torque received by tires from the surface of a road, and a road detection torque addition control for controlling the torque of the motor based on the road reaction torque. The electric power steering controller enables the steering wheel to be returned to its starting point without adding torque in a direction in which the driver returns the steering wheel when the driver contgrols the steering wheel with the small road reaction torque of the tires, for example, when turning at an intersection at a low speed or when turning at a gently curved portion of a road at a high speed.
