摘要： A system and method for controlling the collisions between elements of an automotive rack and pinion steering apparatus and an end-of-travel stop is presented. The system comprises a sensor for sensing a set of dynamic variables of the rack and pinion steering apparatus and operative thereby to generate as output therefrom a first set of signals indicative of the set of dynamic variables; a controller responsive to the first set of signals and operative thereby to provide as output therefrom a modified torque assist command; and a motor drive assembly drive assembly responsive to the modified torque assist command and operative thereby to provide modified torque assistance to the rack and pinion steering apparatus. In another embodiment, the dynamic data is used to calculate a torque limit to be imposed upon the torque assist command whenever the steering system is close to end-of-stop. The two embodiments may also be superimposed. The invention reduces torque at end-of-travel impacts, and helps preserve the mechanical integrity of the power steering system.

摘要： An electric motor actuator used in an environment of varying loads for varying time periods is efficiently designed to a predetermined specification in terms of both motor load and time and operated up to but not exceeding this specification over the full expected operating range. A motor load signal is low pass filtered with a plurality of time constants spanning a range of expected motor operation to generate a plurality of filtered motor load signals each associated with one of the time constants. Each of these filtered motor load signals is compared with a predetermined reference value corresponding to the associated time constant. If one or more of the filtered motor load signals exceeds the predetermined reference value with which it is compared, the one that so exceeds by the greatest margin is selected. A command current limit factor is derived from the selected filtered motor load signal and used to limit the commanded motor current. The motor load signal preferably indicates motor operating current and may be derived from a motor current sensor or from the limited command current signal, motor speed and operating voltage to compensate for a decrease of current with motor speed due to inductance/slope compensation and voltage limit effects.

摘要： A brushless DC motor modifies motor commutation events to reduce noise by providing overlapping activation of the switch being deactivated with the switch being newly activated so that three switches are temporarily activated. The newly activated switch is pulse width modulated with a motor torque controlling duty cycle, and the switch being deactivated is pulse width modulated synchronously with the newly activated switch but with a duty cycle decreasing from the torque controlling duty cycle. The decreasing modulation of the switch being deactivated allows a slower current decrease in the phase turning off to reduce or eliminate the disturbances, and thus the noise. The decreasing modulation is preferably exponential in manner, with a time constant varying inversely with motor speed so that the duty cycle reaches a predetermined minimum in a predetermined maximum number of motor electrical degrees. The decreasing modulation may be switched on at low motor speeds where its noise reduction is required and switched off at higher motor speeds where the potential for interference with commutation is greater. The decreasing modulation is applicable in a dual switching mode in which each activated switch, except for the switch being deactivated in commutation, is pulse width modulated at the torque controlling duty cycle, or in a modified single switching mode in which the activated switch of one of the upper or lower groups is always closed continuously during its activation, except for commutation, during which the switch remaining on, which alternates between the groups, is closed continuously. Each mode of operation is applied in the motor speed/torque region to which it is best suited.
