    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus for a vehicle includes a protection circuit for stopping operation of an electric motor provided to apply a steering assist force to a steering system of the vehicle. The protection circuit is operable to stop operation of the electric motor when an ignition off signal is supplied from an ignition sensor and at least one of an engine speed signal supplied from an engine speed sensor and a vehicle velocity signal supplied from a vehicle velocity sensor falls below a corresponding predetermined value. Even if an ignition on signal is not supplied during movement of the vehicle due to a failure in the ignition sensor, when the engine speed signal or the vehicle velocity signal is above the predetermined value, the vehicle is regarded as being in the running state and operation of the electric motor is continued to apply the steering assist force to the steering system. With this arrangement, a good and stable steering feel can be obtained during movement of the vehicle.

    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus includes a control unit having a sensor fault detecting section, a first drive control signal generating section, a second drive control signal generating section, and a motor drive control mode switching section. When the sensor fault detecting section does not detect any faulty sensor, operation of an electric motor is feedback-controlled in such a manner that an offset between a target current set in accordance with a steering torque and a motor current becomes zero, and the motor applies a steering assist torque to the steering system on the basis of a first drive control signal supplied from the first drive control signal generating section. When a faulty sensor is detected by the sensor fault detecting section, the motor drive control switching section changes over drive control modes of the motor such that the motor is feedforward-controlled on the basis of a second drive control signal which is generated by the second drive control signal generating section on the basis of a target current signal set in accordance with a steering torque.

The electric motor is energized by a motor driver based on the control signal from the controller.

    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus provides a steering power assist of a motor to the steering system of an associated automotive vehicle, so as to reduce necessary steering power to be applied by a driver. The steering apparatus includes an attenuation device in the form of a phase delay circuit or an active low-pass filter, which is provided in a feedback loop connecting a motor current detector and a control section of a control unit constituting the vehicle steering system. By the attenuation device attenuating relatively high frequency components of motor current detected by the motor current detector, there is achieved a high-performance electric power steering apparatus which is capable of reducing noise in the feedback loop, without affecting the motor current, to a sufficient degree to highly improve a response to a driver's steering operation.

    摘要: Provided is an electric power steering device in which the operation feeling is improved without a decrease in commercial value. A phase compensation unit performs a frequency shift on a compensation frequency band compensated by the phase compensation unit. The phase compensation unit performs phase-shift in the compensation frequency band through a frequency shift process, instead of an increase in compensation gain. Therefore, it is possible to minimize occurrences of minute vibrations and abnormal noise in the steering system including the motor that accompany an increase in gain, and to improve the operation feeling and commercial value.
