摘要:
An electric power steering system is provided which is capable of providing a favorable steering feeling without using compensation logics such as of inertia compensation and friction compensation. The electric power steering system includes road-noise suppression control means (213) for controlling a steering assist motor (9) in a manner to damp torque transmission in a higher frequency region representing road noises than a frequency region representing road information. A friction value of a steering mechanism (A) is decreased enough to allow the intrinsic vibrations of the steering mechanism (A) to appear. Rotor inertia of the steering assist motor (9) is set to a value small enough to allow the frequencies of the intrinsic vibrations to be present in the frequency region where the torque transmission is damped by the road-noise suppression control means (213).

An electric power steering system includes: a band-stop filter 15a having a transfer function G1(s) for suppressing resonance, and a phase compensator 15b having a transfer function G2(s). The above function G1(s) is represented by an expression G1(s)=(s2+2ζ11ω1+ω12)/(s2+2ζ12ω1+ω12), where s: a Laplace operator, ζ11: a damping coefficient, ζ12: a damping coefficient, and ω1: an angular frequency. On the other hand, the above function G2(s) is represented by an expression G2(s)=(s2+2ζ21ω2+ω22)/(s2+2ζ22ω2+ω22), where s: a Laplace operator, ζ21: a damping coefficient, ζ22: a damping coefficient, and ω1: an angular frequency. Furthermore, the above damping coefficients ζ21, ζ22 satisfy an expression ζ2124 ζ22≧1. Thus, a filter such as a phase compensator may attain a design freedom while preventing the increase of arithmetic load, whereby both the suppression of resonance and a good assist response in a normal steering speed region, for example, may be achieved.

In a current control system for a cylindrical permanent magnet synchronous motor as the drive source of an electric power steering apparatus, proportional gain Kdp and integral gain Kdi of a d-axis current PI control portion 126 are respectively set to K1·Ld and K1·Rd on the basis of d-axis inductance Ld and d-axis resistance Rd of the motor. Further, proportional gain Kqp and integral gain Kqi of a q-axis current PI control portion 128 are respectively set to K2·Lq and K2·Rq on the basis of q-axis inductance Lq and q-axis resistance Rq of the motor (K1 and K2 are optional coefficients). In this case, both of the d-axis resistance Rd and the q-axis resistance Rq have values resulting from adding the external resistance R′ including wiring resistance to the internal resistance R of the motor.

An electric power steering system includes: an electric motor 6 for generating a steering assist force; a torque sensor 3 for detecting a steering torque; means 10 for generating a control target value for the electric motor 6 according to the detected steering torque; and means 28 for providing a non-interactive control of the electric motor. The system further includes a filter 12 which acts in the process of generating the control target value for the electric motor based on the steering toque. The filter 12 includes: a phase compensator 13 for decreasing a resonant peak gain of the system; and an LPF 12 for decreasing a second peak at a higher frequency than that of the resonant peak. The system is not degraded in the characteristics thereof even though the system provides a non-interactive control for ensuring followability of motor control.
