Problems solved by technology

[0009] In conventional electric power steering devices such as Patent Documents 1 and 2, a high-pass filter (HPF), a low-pass filter (LPF), or a band-pass filter is used to extract vibration components such as torque ripple and road disturbance. (BPF), for example, in the case where the frequency bands of the torque ripple generated by the motor and the disturbance transmitted from the road are separated, only one frequency band component can be extracted, and vibration components such as torque ripple and road disturbance Even if the frequency band of the steering component only partially overlaps, accurate extraction cannot be performed, and all vibration components across a wide frequency band cannot be suppressed
[0010] In addition, as in the conventional electric power steering apparatus such as the above-mentioned Patent Document 3, in order to remove minute fluctuations such as bit fluctuations, the method of filtering using a hysteresis function has a problem that vibration components cannot be extracted.

Abstract

An electric power-steering controller eliminates steering components from a dynamic state quantity such as a rotation speed signal using a small-amplitude filter for filtering small-amplitude components, and accurately extracts only vibration components which are smaller than the steering components in amplitude, thereby reducing the vibration components through a control operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electric power steering control device that assists the steering force of a driver of an automobile, and particularly relates to a technology for suppressing vibrations caused by torque ripples, disturbances, and the like. Background technique [0002] In an electric power steering system that provides an assist force through an electric motor in accordance with the steering torque applied to the steering wheel by the driver of the vehicle, the assist torque that is roughly proportional to the steering torque is determined, and the torque proportional gain that maintains this proportional relationship is obtained to be relatively small. Large, so that the driver's steering force is reduced and smoothed, and vibrations such as torque ripple generated by the motor and interference transmitted from the road surface are suppressed, thereby improving the driver's feeling. [0003] In the conventional electric power steeri...
