It becomes a state and can be operated. When the driver pedals,
The output of the electric drive device is determined based on the information of the torque detector and the pedal rotation speed detector, and the electric motor is operated. At this time, it is indispensable to accurately grasp the pedal torque, and the reaction force of the planetary gear and the torsion of the torsion bar are converted into the displacement of the potentiometer,
A means for extracting as an electric signal is generally used. The microcomputer determines the duty of the PWM output for driving the electric motor based on the pedal torque information and the pedal rotation speed information.

Due to its structure, the pedal torque has a torque fluctuation of 2 Hz per revolution. That is, the pedal torque is minimum at the upper fulcrum and the lower fulcrum of the pedal, and is maximum just beside. When the torque detector fails, the pedal torque may be continuously maintained at a high value, and in response to this, the microcomputer controls to maintain the PWM output at a high value. This results in faster battery consumption. In order to prevent this situation, a method has been proposed in which a change in the output voltage of the torque detector is monitored to determine an abnormality.
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-310177 discloses means for limiting the output of the electric drive device when the output voltage of the torque detector is equal to or higher than a specified value and continues for a predetermined time or longer. As a result, if the pedal torque is maintained at a high point, it is possible to determine an abnormality due to a failure of the torque detector or a foreign substance being caught.

FIG. 3A is a waveform diagram showing the torque voltage and the electric motor current in the normal state, and FIG. 3B is a waveform diagram showing the torque voltage and the electric motor current in the abnormal state.
As shown in the figure, the torque voltage output by the torque detector 7 periodically fluctuates at 2 Hz per revolution of the pedal, and the fluctuation width of the electric motor current is linked to the fluctuation width of the torque voltage. At this time, if an abnormality occurs in the torque detector 7,
As shown in (b), the fluctuation range is smaller than in the normal state, and as a result, the fluctuation range of the motor current is also reduced.
As a result, fluctuations in the output torque of the electric motor 11 are reduced, and the output is assisted more than necessary. Therefore, the abnormality is judged by monitoring the variation of the electric motor current, and the microcomputer 9 stops the electric drive device 3 to take an abnormal measure. Since this abnormality treatment is executed according to the fluctuation range of the electric motor current, the torque detector 7
The electric drive device 3 is stopped not only when the abnormality occurs in the control circuit 13 itself, but also when the abnormality occurs in the control circuit 13 itself.

In the present embodiment, the torque detector 7 or the torque detector 7 is determined if the minimum value of the electric motor current is 10 A or more and the fluctuation range is within 5 A, based on various experiments for the above-mentioned regulation concerning the driving force assistance. When it is determined that the control circuit 13 has an abnormality, the microcomputer 9 stops the electric drive device 3 as a countermeasure for the abnormality. The reason why the current value is set to 10 A or more is that if the electric motor current is small, it may be difficult to judge depending on the vehicle speed even if the fluctuation range is within 5 A, and it is difficult to judge. This is because it is expected that there will be no major problems.
