Abstract:
Disclosed are a motor control device that can accurately estimate a rotor position based on a neutral point potential even when a load increases, and a brake control device that is driven by the motor control device. The motor control device 3 includes a three-phase synchronous motor 4 including a three-phase winding, an inverter 31 connected to the three-phase winding, a control unit 6 for controlling the inverter based on a rotor position of the three-phase synchronous motor, and a rotational position estimation unit 2 for estimating a rotor position θd based on a neutral point potential Vn of the three-phase winding. The rotational position estimation unit estimates a rotor position selectively using one or more of a plurality of detected values of the neutral point potential according to a pre-estimated value of the rotor position and a voltage application state to the three-phase winding.

Provides are a control device for a three-phase synchronous motor in which a position detection accuracy of a rotor can be improved when one three-phase synchronous motor is driven by a plurality of inverters, and an electric power steering device using the same. A control device for a three-phase synchronous motor includes: a three-phase synchronous motor including a first three-phase winding and a second three-phase winding; a first inverter connected to the first three-phase winding; a second inverter connected to the second three-phase winding; a first control device that controls the first inverter on the basis of a rotor position of the three-phase synchronous motor; and a second control device that controls the second inverter on the basis of the rotor position of the three-phase synchronous motor. The first control device estimates the rotor position on a basis of a neutral point potential of the first three-phase winding and a neutral point potential of the second three-phase winding.

The power steering device includes a current detection number setting circuit configured to set the number of times of detection of a DC bus current value by a current detecting circuit to a first predetermined number over a first predetermined cycle of a PWM period when the steering-state signal indicative of a steering operation state is received, and to set the number of times of detection so that the number of times of detection becomes smaller than the first predetermined number over the first predetermined cycle of the PWM period when a steering-state signal indicative of a non-steered state is received.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to realize a pressure sensor with a small variation in sensor characteristics. The pressure sensor includes a diaphragm having longitudinal and lateral sides, and four strain gauges disposed on the diaphragm. The four strain gauges are arranged at a center of the diaphragm. Two of the four strain gauges are arranged along a lateral direction, and other two strain gauges are arranged along a longitudinal direction.
