STEERING CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508642 titled 'STEERING CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a steering control device that includes a processing unit to control a steering device. The processing unit acquires a target rudder angle variable, corrects it by a play compensation amount, restricts the correction depending on information, and operates a motor to control the rudder angle.
- The processing unit acquires a target rudder angle variable.
- It corrects the target rudder angle variable by a play compensation amount.
- The correction is restricted based on information.
- The motor is operated to control the rudder angle using the corrected target rudder angle variable.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in marine navigation systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotics for precise steering control.
Problems Solved
1. Improved accuracy in steering control. 2. Reduction of play in steering mechanisms.
Benefits
1. Enhanced safety in navigation. 2. Increased efficiency in steering operations. 3. Reduced wear and tear on steering components.

Original Abstract Submitted
A steering control device that controls a steering device, includes a processing unit. The processing unit executes; a target rudder angle variable acquisition process of acquiring a value of a target rudder angle variable, an attention information acquisition process, a target rudder angle correction process of correcting the value of the target rudder angle variable by a play compensation amount corresponding to a steering direction, a restriction process of restricting the correction of the value of the target rudder angle variable by the play compensation amount depending on the information, and a rudder angle control process of operating a motor. In the rudder angle control process a steering angle depending on a rotation angle of a steering shaft is adopted as a control amount and the value of the target rudder angle variable is adopted as a target value of the control amount.
