Abstract:
A valve control device includes a valve unit disposed in a cooling water circuit, and a control part which controls operation of the valve unit. The control part has a rotation angle instruction part, a duty ratio calculator and a determiner. The rotation angle instruction part calculates an instruction value of a rotation angle in response to an operational status of an internal-combustion engine. The duty ratio calculator calculates a duty ratio representing a ratio of ON period to OFF period regarding a voltage applied to an electric motor based on a difference between a detection value of the rotation angle detected by a detector and the instruction value of the rotation angle, and regulates the duty ratio to be lower than or equal to a predetermined upper limit. The determiner determines whether the duty ratio continues to be the upper limit during a predetermined period.

Claim (Index 11):
The valve control device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the valve object is rotated among a plurality of positions including a first position where the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are closed by the valve object to close the first channel, the second channel and the third channel, a second position where the first opening and the third opening are closed and the second opening is opened by the valve object to close the first channel and the third channel and to open the second channel, a third position where the first opening is closed and the second opening and the third opening are opened by the valve object to close the first channel and to open the second channel and the third channel, a fourth position where the first opening and the second opening are closed and the third opening is opened by the valve object to close the first channel and the second channel and to open the third channel, a fifth position where the second opening is closed, and the first opening and the third opening are opened by the valve object to close the second channel and to open the first channel and the third channel, a sixth position where the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are opened by the valve object to open the first channel, the second channel and the third channel, a seventh position where the first opening and the second opening are opened and the third opening is closed by the valve object to open the first channel and the second channel and to close the third channel, and an eighth position where the first opening is opened and the second opening and the third opening are closed by the valve object to open the first channel and to close the second channel and the third channel.
