    摘要: A steering control device includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to perform end contact relaxation control for correcting a current command value such that a decrease of an end separation angle indicating a distance of an absolute steering angle from an end-position-corresponding angle is limited when the end separation angle is equal to or less than a predetermined angle and to perform partial release control for decreasing a correction value of the current command value due to execution of the end contact relaxation control based on a steering torque which is input to a steering system when a vehicle is intended to travel while turning at the time of execution of the end contact relaxation control.

    摘要: A control device includes a processor and a storage device storing a program for controlling an operation of the processor. The processor determines whether a vehicle is in a straight-ahead traveling state, based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor, a steering wheel torque applied to a steering wheel, and a steering wheel angle as a rotation angle of an input shaft. The processor stores the steering wheel angle in the memory when determining that the vehicle is in the straight-ahead traveling state. The processor stores the steering wheel angle in the memory multiple times when determining that the vehicle is in the straight-ahead traveling state. The processor calculates a corrected steering angle amount from a weighted average of the steering wheel angles stored in the memory.

    摘要: A turning angle detecting device includes: a first storage unit configured to store a turning angle neutral point correction value being a difference between a median of the turning angles at respective limits in right and left steering and the turning angle in a straight traveling state; a second storage unit configured to store an initial position of a movable portion of an actuator of a wheel turning mechanism in the straight traveling state; a first turning angle calculating unit configured to calculate a first turning angle with respect to the median of the turning angles at the respective limits based on a detection value of a position of the movable portion; and a second turning angle calculating unit configured to calculate a second turning angle based on the detection value, the turning angle neutral point correction value, the initial position and the first turning angle.

    摘要: An absolute steering angle sensor includes a single main gear having first gear teeth with a first pitch, second gear teeth with a second pitch, wherein the first and second gear pitches are different. A first magnet gear is driven by the first gear teeth, wherein the first magnet gear has a first gear profile and a first diameter. A second magnet gear is driven by the second gear teeth, wherein the second magnet gear has a second gear profile and a second diameter. The first and second gear profiles are different, and the first and second diameters are different. A first magnet rotates with the first magnet gear and emits a first magnetic field, and a second magnet rotates with the second magnet gear and emits a second magnetic field. A sensor assembly measures strengths of the first and second magnetic fields and calculates an absolute steering angle.

    摘要: A combined angular position and torque sensor assembly for use in an electric power assisted steering system comprises an input part for connection to an upper column shaft, an output part for connection to a lower column shaft, a torsion bar that interconnects the input shaft and the output shaft, a first and second upper column angular position sensing means that each produce at least one output signal that is dependent on the angular position of the upper column shaft; and a processing means which produces a first torque signal indicative of the torque carried by the torsion bar. The processing means further includes means for producing a first absolute angular position signal by processing the output signals of the first and secondary sensors in a first way and a second absolute angular position signal processing the output of the same two sensors in a different way, and further comprises a cross

    摘要: An electric power steering apparatus having a function for detecting a steering speed, includes a time stamp attaching section that attaches a time stamp (ATi) to a detection signal (Ai) and attaches a time stamp (BTj) to a detection signal (Bj); a storing section that stores the detection signal (Bj) to which the time stamp (BTj) is attached; a synchronous signal searching section that searches the detection signal (Bj) most synchronized with the detection signal (Ai) based on the time stamps (ATi and BTj); a vernier calculating section that performs a calculation of an angle difference between synchronous signals searched by the synchronous signal searching section and a vernier calculation and outputs an absolute steering angle of a sensor reference; an initial steering angle calculating section that calculates an initial steering angle value from the absolute steering angle; and a steering angle output section that obtains a steering angle.
