THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM, THROTTLE CONTROL METHOD, AND MEMORY MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18308957 titled 'THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM, THROTTLE CONTROL METHOD, AND MEMORY MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a process for driving a specific gear in a throttle device to reach a desired position.
- The driving process increases or decreases the target position of the gear at a constant speed.
- A determination process is used to identify wear on the gear mechanism based on a parameter related to the change speed of the gear's position within a specific range.
- The specific range is defined as the range between a specific angular position and the initial position.
- The specific angular position is separated from the initial position by a predetermined constant angle.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving process causes a target angular position of a specific gear in a throttle device to reach an initial position by continuing to increase or decrease the target angular position at a constant speed. A determination process determines that wear has occurred on a gear mechanism in the throttle device based on a parameter related to a change speed of an angular position in a specific range during execution of the driving process. The specific range is a range from a specific angular position to the initial position. The specific angular position is the angular position that is separated from the initial position by a predetermined constant angle.
