摘要:
An electric power steering system in which a current command for a brushless DC motor is determined based on a detected steering torque, a voltage to be applied is determined based on a difference between the current command value and a current value flowing to the motor, and steering assist is implemented by applying the voltage so determined to the motor. A rotational angular velocity is computed based on a detected rotor position, and it is determined that the motor is abnormal when a rotational angular velocity determination unit determines that the rotational angular velocity is equal to or less than a predetermined value, a current command value determination unit determines that the current command value is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and a voltage determination unit determines that the voltage applied to the motor falls out of a predetermined voltage range.

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.

A power-assisted steering system includes: two or more current detectors that detects current flowing to two or more phases of a motor and outputs detected current values; a correcting unit that corrects the detected current values output from the current detectors to compensate a difference in gain between the current detectors; and a motor driving driver that drives the motor based on a deviation between the target current value and corrected detected current values. When the same current flows to the phase in which the current flowing thereto is detected by the reference current detectors and the phase in which the current flowing is detected by the other current detector, the correcting unit calculates a gain correcting coefficient based on a detected current value of the reference current detector and a detected current value of the other current detector and corrects the detected current value of the other current detector.

An electric power steering apparatus which comprises: an angle detector for outputting a sine wave signal and a cosine wave signal corresponding to a rotor position of a brushless DC motor; and a torque detector for detecting a steering torque applied to a steering member, and which drives the brushless DC motor to assist steering based upon the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal which were outputted from the angle detector and the steering torque detected by the torque detector. A sine wave signal and a cosine wave signal are squared and added to each other, and whether or not abnormality has occurred in the angle detector is detected by whether the addition result falls within a predetermined range. It is possible to detect abnormality in the angle detector at an early stage.

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.
