Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a motor control device capable of estimating a delay with high accuracy even in a case where there is a fluctuation in disturbance torque or delay time and of suppressing the influence of the delay. For this end, the present invention includes a motor MTR, an ECU 2 that controls the rotation of the motor MTR, and an ECU 1 that sends a torque command to the ECU 2 based on a command value. The ECU 1 includes a disturbance estimation block 100 and a delay estimation block 200. The disturbance estimation block 100 estimates disturbance torque (τd) using a torque command input to the ECU 2 and a feedback value of the motor MTR. The delay estimation block 200 estimates a delay using a torque command output from the ECU 1, the feedback value of the motor MTR, and the disturbance torque (τd).
Abstract:
An acceleration/deceleration control apparatus includes a mode switching portion configured to switch a normal mode of performing acceleration control in response to an operation on an accelerator pedal and also performing deceleration control in response to an operation on a brake pedal, and a one-pedal mode of performing both the acceleration control and the deceleration control in response to the operation on the accelerator pedal according to a switching operation performed by a driver. Where a mode is switched from the normal mode to the one-pedal mode, one-pedal instruction switching portion (35B) of the acceleration/deceleration control apparatus outputs such one-pedal acceleration/deceleration instruction value A(Xa) that a result of adding a non-one-pedal acceleration instruction value B1(Xb) for the one-pedal mode and a one-pedal acceleration instruction value Ab(Xa) for the one-pedal mode after the mode is switched matches non-one-pedal deceleration instruction value Bn(xb) for the normal mode before the mode is switched.
Abstract:
An electric brake comprises a brake mechanism that transmits a thrust generated by driving an electric motor to a piston that moves brake pads pressed against a disc rotor; a thrust sensor that detects the thrust applied to the piston; a rotation angle sensor that detects a rotational position of the electric motor; and a rear electric brake ECU that controls the driving of the electric motor on the basis of a braking command. The rear electric brake ECU detects an abnormality in the brake mechanism from a detected value of the thrust sensor and a detected value of the rotation angle sensor in response to the braking command which are obtained when the electric motor is driven.
Abstract:
An ECU (19) outputs control signals to an electric booster (16) of a fluid-pressure generating device (5) and to an ESC (22). In this way, the establishment and cutting off of communication through pressure-increase control valves (29), (29′), (31), and (31′) of the ESC (22) are controlled to connect each of wheel cylinders (1) to (4) in turn to the master cylinder (8). In doing so, the electric booster (16) is controlled for each of the wheel cylinders (1) to (4) to measure a stroke of a piston (10), (11) of a master cylinder (8), or a volume of brake fluid proportional to the stroke of the piston (1C), (11), and a fluid pressure detected by fluid-pressure sensors (20) and (21). The fluid volume-pressure characteristic of each of the wheel cylinders (1) to (4) so determined is used for comparison to detect any atmospheric air in each pipeline.
Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to improve current detection accuracy and to reduce noise of carrier frequency. A motor apparatus and a motor drive apparatus calculate motor currents Iu, Iv, and Iw using a DC bus current detected value Idc of an inverter and control a magnitude and a phase of an applied voltage of a motor to drive the motor. A carrier adjuster decreases a carrier frequency Fc of the inverter if a motor output is relatively larger and that increases the carrier frequency Fc of the inverter if the motor output is relatively smaller. A pulse shift adjuster shifts an interphase waveform of a PWM pulse according to the carrier frequency Fc.
Abstract:
A second ECU determines whether or not there is an abnormality in a hydraulic-pressure sensor in a first cycle based on a detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor, and outputs a signal indicating determination of occurrence of the abnormality to a first ECU via signal line when determining occurrence of the abnormality in the sensor. The first ECU receives the detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor through communication from the second ECU via the signal line to determine whether or not there is the abnormality in the hydraulic-pressure sensor in a second cycle shorter than the first cycle. When determining that the hydraulic-pressure sensor is abnormal, the first ECU controls driving of an electric actuator based on a braking command from an operation-amount detection sensor without using the detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor determined as abnormal.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a brake control device and a brake system capable of braking with a shortened braking response when shifting from non-braking to braking. A brake control device 10 includes a command value calculation unit 4 that calculates an operation command value required to make a pressing force by which a brake pad 11a is pressed against a brake disc 11b reach a target thrust value. The command value calculation unit 4 includes: a clearance command calculation unit 43 that calculates a command value required for contact between the brake pad 11a and the brake disc 11b; and a thrust command calculation unit 40 that calculates a command value required for reaching the target thrust from a state where the brake pad 11a and the brake disc 11b are in contact with each other. When calculating the operation command value from a state where the brake pad 11a and the brake disc 11b are separated, the command value calculation unit 4 calculates the operation command value by integrating the command value calculated from the clearance command calculation unit 43 and the command value calculated from the thrust command calculation unit 40.
Abstract:
An electric booster including an input member that is advanceably/retractably moved according to a brake pedal operation. An electric motor of an electric actuator advanceably/retractably moves a power piston. A master pressure control unit sets a target movement amount of the power piston according to an amount of a movement of the input member that is caused by the brake pedal, and controls the electric motor to move the power piston so as to achieve the target movement amount, thereby causing a brake hydraulic pressure to be generated in a master cylinder. The master pressure control unit includes a reaction force generation portion, which changes a characteristic of a hydraulic reaction force applied to the brake pedal. The reaction force generation portion corrects the target movement amount of the power piston according to a temporal change in the movement amount of the input member.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to appropriately control a clearance amount by correcting an estimation error of a contact position caused by a delay time difference between output signals of sensors, and to establish both improvement of fuel efficiency due to prevention of drag of a brake pad during non-braking and reduction in response time during braking. A brake system includes a brake disc, a brake pad, a piston, a drive mechanism, a position sensor that detects a position of the piston, a thrust sensor that detects a thrust by which the brake pad presses the brake disc, and a brake control unit that adjusts a braking force by controlling the drive mechanism. The brake control unit includes a contact position computation unit that computes a contact position at which the brake pad and the brake disc come in contact with each other based on output signals of the position sensor and the thrust sensor, a position error computation unit that computes a position error of the contact position based on a delay time difference between the output signals of the position sensor and the thrust sensor, and a contact position correction unit that corrects the contact position obtained by the contact position computation unit by using the position error.
Abstract:
A brake operation sensor detects a position of an input member. An angle sensor detects a position of a power piston. An ECU drives and controls an electric motor based on a relative position between the input member and the power piston. Then, the input member and the power piston are subjected to a mechanical limitation on a relative displacement therebetween due to abutment with each other at a step. The ECU advances/retracts the power piston independently of the movement of the input member, and determines the abutment state between the input member and the power piston under the mechanical limitation based on the detected relative position. Then, the ECU corrects the relative position between the input member and the power piston based on this determination to control the electric motor.
