(5) control relay 25 of unblanking of motor driving control section 22 is connected to NO side, connects with control relay 25 of this being unblanked, and whether detects that low level signal judges (step S6) to conduction detection portion 36.When conduction detection portion 36 detects low level signal, be judged as unblanking control relay 25 normally, but produce abnormal in electric power supply restriction relay 35, thus carry out following relay switching controls (step S7).Herein, produce abnormal reason as in electric power supply restriction relay 35, can expect piling up in contact have foreign matter (deposit, oxide scale film etc.).
(6) in relay switching controls, as shown in Fig. 5 (a), electric power supply restriction relay is connected (moving contact being connected to NO side), and between moving contact and the fixed contact of NO side, produces electric arc to remove foreign matter.
(7) between the fixed contact and moving contact of electric power supply restriction relay 35, produce electric arc as described above by relay switching controls, whether conduction detection portion 36 is detected that high signal (whether electric power supply restriction relay 35 restores to normal condition) judges (step S8).When conduction detection portion 36 does not detect high signal (step S8: "No"), be judged to be that electric power supply restriction relay 35 does not restore to normal condition, repeatedly carry out relay switching controls.On the other hand, when conduction detection portion 36 detects high signal (step S8: "Yes"), be judged to be that electric power supply restriction relay 35 restores to normal condition, perform aftermentioned unblanking and drive (step S10).
(8) the execution number of times of relay switching controls and execution time are undertaken measuring by the number of times measuring cell 29 and time measurement element 30 that are built in microcomputer 19 respectively, before the execution number of times of relay switching controls reaches stipulated number or the execution time reach specified time before, conduction detection portion 36 is when detecting high signal, be judged as that electric power supply restriction relay 35 restores to perform to normal condition and unblank to drive (step S10).Such as, as shown in Figure 7, performing the time point of No. three relay switching controls, high signal is detected by conduction detection portion 36 because eliminating foreign matter from the contact of electric power supply restriction relay 35, in the case, be judged as that electric power supply restriction relay 35 restores and terminate relay switching controls to normal condition, to unblank control relay 25 and electric power supply restriction relay 26 as shown in Fig. 5 (a), remain on-state like this, and perform unblank driving (step S10).
When not made electric power supply restriction relay 35 restore to normal condition by primary relay switching controls, repeatedly carry out repeatedly relay switching controls, whether the execution time whether reaching stipulated number to the execution number of times being counted acquisition by number of times measuring cell 29 or count acquisition by time measurement element 30 reaches specified time judges (step S9).When the execution number of times of relay switching controls does not reach stipulated number or when not reaching specified time in the execution time (step S9: "No"), perform relay switching controls (step S7).In addition, the execution number of times of relay switching controls reach stipulated number or execution time reach specified time time (step S9: "Yes"), terminate relay switching controls.In addition, even if before relay switching controls carries out stipulated number or specified time repeatedly, electric power supply restriction relay 35 restore to normal condition, relay switching controls also can be made repeatedly to carry out stipulated number or specified time.That is, even if in relay switching controls performs, electric power supply restriction relay reset, to normal condition, also can not be transferred to and unblank to drive.In this case, when detecting that in the process of above-mentioned (2) of next time electric power supply restriction relay 35 restores to normal condition, perform and unblank to drive.
Herein, dual lock drives and is described.
Unblanking in driving, the drive current supplied towards motor driving control section 22 via motor power feed path 24 from battery 23 is supplied to electrical motor 14 via the path Fig. 5 (a) shown in arrow, therefore, start this electrical motor 14, the rotation of its output shaft 14a is while slowed down by worm screw 15 and worm gear 12a, one edge direction is converted 90 degree and is passed to gear part 12, rotates to make this gear part 12.Therefore, the actuator 7 being formed with outer screw section 7a overcomes the application force of spring 13 and moves down, and wherein, above-mentioned outer screw section 7a screws togather with the female threaded portion 12b being located at the inner circumferential of gear part 12 quarter.When actuator 7 moves down like this, the arm 7A be integrally formed with this actuator 7 and the lock(ing) bolt 8 utilizing pin 9 to be connected with actuator 7 move down.
When the arm 7A of actuator 7 described above move down, lock(ing) bolt 8 arrive the lockset position of coupler of lower limit as shown in Figure 2 time, the magnetic force of magnet 11 sensor 18 of being unblanked detects, electric power supply restriction relay 35 is switched to NC side and becomes dissengaged positions (off-state), to stop the electric power towards electrical motor 14 to supply, thus stop the driving of this electrical motor 14.So, the upper end of lock(ing) bolt 8 just retreats to the inside of the lock(ing) bolt inserting hole 3d of housing 3, and therefore, lock(ing) bolt 8 is removed with the engaging of steering shaft.Consequently, the locking of steering shaft is become unlocking condition by removing, and chaufeur can the rotation process of implementing direction dish, and vehicle can travel.
