Abstract
Description
すなわち、特許文献1に記載の制御ユニットでは、電源系導電板を有する回路ケースにおいて、コネクタに接続された導電板2本(+、-)がほぼ並走され、各部に配置された部品の端子付近で折り曲げられた端子部が多数林立する構成を有している。
そのため、制御基板の面積の有効利用、導電板の形状の簡略化、均等化を実現することができる。
図1は、この発明の実施の形態1に係る制御ユニットが適用された電動パワーステアリング装置の全体的な回路構成を示す回路図である。図1において、この電動パワーステアリング装置は、制御ユニット1とモータ2とから構成されている。
また、角穴40gの一方は、パワーモジュール35からモータ巻線へ電力を供給する端子用であり、他方は、巻線端子26が挿入されるもので、両者は別部品で電気的接続されている。なお、丸穴40fは、楕円穴や多角形穴であってもよい。
そのため、制御基板の面積の有効利用、導電板の形状の簡略化、均等化を実現することができる。
すなわち、電源系導電板の形状、配置の変更、導電板の2重構造化、さらにはインバータ回路と制御基板との接続位置の変更により、制御基板の面積の有効な利用、および導電板の形状の簡略化、均等化を実現することができる。また、板幅の拡大を可能とし、製品の内部抵抗値を低減することができる。さらに、円形導電板形状により、ノイズ発生抑制にも寄与できる。
図8は、この発明の実施の形態2に係る電動パワーステアリング装置を示す断面図である。なお、上述した図1~7と同等な部位には、同一符号を付している。また、図8と実施の形態1の図2との相違は、制御ユニット1が出力軸23の反出力側に装着されていることである。
