Control system for electronic power steering

There is provided a control system for an electronic power steering. The control system includes: a SAT estimating portion for estimating a self aligning torque (SAT) of a vehicle by inputting an angular velocity and an angular acceleration of a motor, a steering torque, and a current command value; and a motor current correction value calculating portion for deciding a running state of the vehicle based on a SAT estimation value estimated by the SAT estimating portion, a vehicle speed, and a steering angle, and correcting the current command value by calculating a motor current correction value based on the SAT estimation value in accordance with the running state. According to this configuration, an offset torque can be always corrected precisely irrespective of a road surface situation or a driving condition such as a straight line running, and thus a comfortable steering performance can be attained by lessening driver's fatigue.

Motor vehicle steering system

The present invention comprises a steering system selectively operable in one of three modes: steer-by-wire, electronic power assist steering (EPAS), and manual steering. The steer-by-wire system includes a driver interface system (DIS), a road wheel actuator system (RWAS), and a controller for monitoring and implementing the preferred control strategy. The steering system of the present invention operates normally in a steer-by-wire mode. In each of the EPAS mode and manual mode, the controller causes a clutch mechanism to engage, thus creating a mechanical linkage between the steerable member and the rack and pinion system. In the EPAS mode, one of the road wheel actuator or the reaction torque generator is available to assist in the steering operation. Alternatively, in the manual mode, both the DIS and the RWAS are deactivated and the vehicle is steerable through entirely mechanical means.

Electric-motor-driven liquid pump

A liquid pump has a housing with a suction connection, a pressure connection and a electric motor for rotationally driving a conveying device that has a suction inlet and pressure outlet which communicate with the suction connection and the pressure connection respectively. An electronic power unit for the electric motor is adjacent to the motor and extends transversely to the axis of rotation and is on the rear side of the partition wall of the housing. The suction inlet is arranged at a height smaller than an inner radius of an annular gap between the stator and rotor, whereas a rotor passage extends at a constant height, so that a liquid inducted by way of the suction connection is guided in part via the annular gap and undergoes a deflection at the partition wall, cooling the latter before it passes through the rotor passage to the suction inlet.
