Abstract:
A relay control method is provided for controlling an in-vehicle motor that includes a steering angle main control module. The main control module has a power supply relay is connected to a battery, a motor drive circuit connected to a fixed contact of the power supply relay via a bus bar, and a phase relay connected to the motor drive circuit via a bus bar. The motor drive circuit contacts a heat radiation part that has a higher thermal conductivity than the power supply relay. After the ignition is turned off and with the switches for the power supply relay and the phase relay remaining in the on state, a motor energization control is performed for maintaining a rotation stop state in the motor for a predetermined time, and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the switch of the power supply relay is switched to off.

Claim (Index 1):
A relay control method of an in-vehicle motor comprising a motor control module that has, inside a housing, a power supply relay connected to a battery, a motor drive circuit connected to a fixed contact of the power supply relay via a bus bar, and a phase relay connected to the motor drive circuit via a bus bar, the relay control method comprising:\n providing the motor drive circuit in contact with a heat radiation part that has a higher thermal conductivity than the power supply relay; and performing a motor energization control for maintaining a rotation stop state in the motor for a first predetermined time via the power supply relay, the motor drive circuit and the phase relay, after an interruption operation of the power supply relay while switches for the power supply relay and the phase relay remain in an on state, and then switching the switch of the power supply relay to off after the first predetermined time has elapsed.
