The present invention relates to an improvement in an abnormality detection device for detecting an abnormality in a sensor, a circuit, etc. in an electric power steering device.

Conventionally, in order to detect an abnormal operation of various sensors and circuits in a steering device of a vehicle, the output level when these are operating normally is set in the control means, and the actual detection amount determines this output level. A method is known for turning off the power source of the electric steering device by determining that the sensor, the circuit, etc. are abnormal when exceeding the limit.

However, in the conventional method, the output level for detecting the abnormal operation of the sensor and the circuit is fixed regardless of the traveling steering elements such as the vehicle speed and the steering angle, so that there is a risk that the output level will increase as the vehicle speed increases. I couldn't respond enough. That is, referring to, for example, the torque sensor and the vehicle speed, if the output level of the high torque is used as the reference for determining the abnormal operation by placing importance on the low speed traveling with a large normal steering wheel torque, there is no problem during the low speed traveling, but there is a danger during the high speed traveling. There was something. That is, since the torque applied to the steering wheel shaft is small during high-speed traveling, if the abnormality is judged based on the abnormal level during low-speed traveling, it will not be judged as abnormal even if the output level is abnormal during high-speed traveling. Because. On the contrary, if a low output level is set as a criterion for abnormality judgment with emphasis on high-speed running, the torque applied to the steering wheel shaft is large during low-speed running, so the output of that output is normal despite normal operation. There was a case where it was judged to be abnormal immediately because of the high level and it interfered with driving.

Next, to detect the abnormality of the electric power steering system,
This is performed by detecting the current flowing through the motor drive circuit 64 with the detection resistor 82. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
A signal level set value that changes stepwise according to the vehicle speed is set, and when the vehicle speed is within a range smaller than V 1 , it is judged as abnormal if the state of level L 1 continues for time t 1 or more. the vehicle speed is in between V 1 of the V 2 is determined to be abnormal if the state of the level L 2 has the duration t 2 than the vehicle speed is V 2

As a concrete numerical value, for example, when the vehicle speed is zero, the current of the motor drive circuit 64 flows for 30 seconds or more for 5 seconds or more, and for the vehicle speed of 10 km / h, it flows for 10 seconds or more for 1 second or more, and the vehicle speed is 100 km / h. Then, if 5A flows, it may be unconditional. Further, it is effective to set two or more set values at the same vehicle speed, for example, when the vehicle speed is zero, it is abnormal for 5 seconds or more at 30A, and at 40A, it is unconditionally determined to be abnormal at time. It should be noted that the abnormal levels L 1 , L 2 and L 3 and the durations t 1 , t 2 and t 3 are set,
The change can be made by software using a microcomputer, or by installing as many comparators as necessary and selecting one of them according to the vehicle speed.
Further, the graph of FIG. 3 showing the relationship between the abnormal level and the vehicle speed may be a curve shown by a broken line. If the abnormality determination circuit 56 determines that there is an abnormality (in this state, the amount of power assist is too large to try to turn the steering wheel), the output to the power switch drive circuit 54 is cut off, and the power switch is turned off. 52 is in the open (OFF) state, the power supply to the motor drive circuit 64 and the clutch drive circuit 62 is cut off, and the motor 36 and the clutch 38 are deactivated, so that the power assist is lost and the steering system operates as a steering wheel. Will come to do.

In the present embodiment, as described above, when the current value flowing through the motor drive circuit 64 exceeds the set level according to the vehicle speed and the state continues for a predetermined time or longer according to the vehicle speed, it is determined that the vehicle speed is abnormal. The abnormality can be judged at an appropriate level both when the abnormality is small and when it is large, and the clutch 38 and the electric motor 36 can be detected after a certain time has elapsed from the abnormality detection.
Since it is not activated, it is possible to appropriately deal with abnormality determination even during stationary operation that requires a large amount of current for a certain period of time, or during high-speed driving where even a small abnormal current is dangerous. It is effective to detect the abnormality of the motor drive circuit 64 because the failure of any part of the power steering device becomes dangerous only after the electric motor 36 abnormally rotates. Further, it is effective to change both the abnormal level of the current value and the duration thereof according to the vehicle speed as in the present embodiment for the above reason.
That is, even if a high level signal is output momentarily during low speed running,
If it is for a very short time, the auxiliary steering device will not be deactivated, and even if a low level signal is output during high speed running, the auxiliary steering device will not be deactivated unless it continues for a certain amount of time, There are no driving problems in either case.

A signal detection device and an electric signal limit value set in relation to the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed sensor, and compares the electric signal detected by the electric signal detection device with the electric signal limit value, the former When it exceeds the limit, and when the state continues for a continuation limit time set in advance in relation to the vehicle speed, an abnormality determination circuit that sends a signal to deactivate the auxiliary steering device is configured. In the case of, the electric power steering device is only capable of manual steering.

Therefore, the auxiliary steering device can detect the abnormality of the auxiliary steering device system in the electric signal before the actual full operation and deactivate the abnormality, thereby avoiding the danger during traveling in advance. Further, since the auxiliary steering device is deactivated only when the electrical signal abnormality continues for a certain period of time or more, even if noise or the like occurs for a period shorter than the certain period, the auxiliary steering device is deactivated. It is comfortable and safe both at low speeds and at high speeds.
