Title: Power steering apparatus
Inventor: KAJI HIROAKI
IPC: B62D5/065
Filed: 1999-05-15
Abstract: This invention provides a power steering apparatus for
assisting steering by utilizing a hydraulic pump (5) to be driven
by an electric motor (4) as a generating source of a hydraulic
pressure. A drive voltage determination unit (1a) determines a
drive voltage so that a rotational velocity of the electric
motor (4) detected by a rotational velocity sensor (4b) and a
rotational velocity detecting circuit (4a) becomes a first
rotational velocity on the occasion of starting of the
electric motor (4), and determines a gradually increasing drive
voltage after the electric motor (4) is started by the determined
drive voltage until the detected rotational velocity reaches
the second rotational velocity. Therefore, an unnecessary
inrush current is not generated in the electric motor (4), and
the rotational velocity of the electric motor (4) does not
overshoot.
