Abstract:
In one aspect, a controller for driving a motor of the present invention includes a driving control unit that controls driving of a motor, and a regenerative control unit that instructs the driving control unit to start regeneration when a signal from a pedal rotation sensor that detects a rotation direction of the pedal indicates that the rotation direction of the pedal is backwards, the regenerative control unit controlling an amount of the regeneration in accordance with a backward rotation amount of the pedal while the rotation direction of the pedal is backwards, the backward rotation amount being obtained by the pedal rotation sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
A controller for driving a motor in an electric power assisted vehicle with a pedal, comprising:\n a driving control unit that controls driving of a motor; and a regenerative control unit that instructs the driving control unit to start regeneration when a signal received from a pedal rotation sensor that detects a rotation direction of the pedal indicates that the rotation direction of the pedal is backwards, said regenerative control unit controlling an amount of the regeneration in accordance with a backward rotation amount of the pedal while said rotation direction of the pedal is backwards, said backward rotation amount being obtained by the pedal rotation sensor, wherein the regenerative control unit calculates a regeneration target amount based on a speed of the vehicle and has a control coefficient calculation unit that, after the regenerative control unit instructs the driving control unit to start regeneration, calculates a control coefficient to be applied to the regeneration target amount such that a rate at which the control coefficient increases depends on a rate at which the backward rotation amount increases, and wherein the driving control unit controls driving of a motor so as to control regeneration in accordance with the regeneration target amount and the control coefficient.
