摘要： A vehicle power steering system has a steering shaft with a rotational position sensor providing signal rollover so that each sensor output indicates a plurality of potential absolute steering positions separated from each other by multiples of a rollover angle. Upon each initiation of vehicle operation, the system selects an absolute steering positions corresponding to an initial sensor output as an unadjusted steering position and repeatedly updates the unadjusted steering position in response to sensor output changes, including sensed rollover events. The system stores data dividing a two dimensional map of possible vehicle steering operating points defined by total steering torque and steering position into a first region of likely vehicle steering system operating points, a second region of unlikely steering system operating points indicating a revolution offset in a first direction, and a third region of unlikely steering system operating points indicating a revolution offset in an opposite direction. While a minimum vehicle velocity and, optionally, other enabling conditions exist, a vehicle steering operating point derived from sensed total steering torque, the updated unadjusted steering position and a revolution offset compared with the stored data; and the revolution offset is updated as indicated if the derived vehicle steering system operating point is within the second or third stored regions of steering system operating points. A second return torque command is derived from the updated unadjusted steering position and updated revolution offset and provided to the actuator to produce a second return torque, preferably after the revolution offset is walked incrementally to the updated value, with return torque provided in a single, correct direction only during the walk.

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 vehicle power steering system has a steering shaft with a rotational position sensor providing signal rollover so that each sensor output indicates a plurality of potential absolute steering positions separated from each other by multiples of a rollover angle. Upon each initiation of vehicle operation, the system selects, as an unadjusted steering position, one of the plurality of absolute steering positions corresponding to an initial sensor output; and the system repeatedly updates the unadjusted steering position in response to sensor output changes, including sensed rollover events. The system repeatedly tests a set of revolution offsets with the updated unadjusted steering position and excludes any which indicate an out-of-range absolute steering position. The final remaining revolution offset is latched as the correct value. Preferably, a temporary value of revolution offset used with the unadjusted position during the testing provides a return or centering torque of zero; and, once the final value is latched, the temporary value is walked incrementally toward the final value, when the return torque value is in the correct centering direction, to avoid a sudden increase in return torque or a return torque in the wrong direction. The walk ends when (1) the temporary value of revolution offset reaches the final value or (2) the true value of steering position, derived from the final value of revolution offset and the unadjusted position, reaches center, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, the final value of revolution offset is used with the updated unadjusted value to determine the absolute value, and thus return torque.
