STEERING CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18543558 titled 'STEERING CONTROL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a steering control device that can control the reaction force given to the steering wheel and the turning wheel in a situation where the dynamic force transmission between them is not performed.

  • The processor controls the reaction force given to the steering wheel by adjusting the torque of the reaction force motor based on a command variable.
  • It reflects a predetermined component of a frequency signal given to the turning wheel in the value of the reaction force command variable.
  • It restricts the contribution of the predetermined component to the reaction force command variable to a smaller degree in unstable steering system situations.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Control of reaction force between steering wheel and turning wheel without dynamic force transmission.
  • Adjustment of reaction force torque based on command variable.
  • Reflection of frequency signal component in reaction force command variable.
  • Restriction of contribution of frequency signal component in unstable steering system situations.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in various steering control systems for vehicles, especially in situations where stability is crucial.

Problems Solved:

  • Control of reaction force in steering systems without dynamic force transmission.
  • Enhanced stability in steering systems during unstable conditions.

Benefits:

Original Abstract Submitted

A steering control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute a process in a state where dynamic force transmission between a steering wheel and a turning wheel is not performed. The process includes: a process of controlling a reaction force that is given to the steering wheel, by operating torque of the reaction force motor depending on the value of a reaction force command variable; a process of reflecting a predetermined component of a frequency signal that is given to the turning wheel in the value of the reaction force command variable; and a process of restricting the degree of contribution of the predetermined component to the value of the reaction force command variable, to a smaller degree, in a situation where a steering system including the steering wheel is unstable.
