Abstract

An electric actuator includes a motor, an output shaft, a detent plate, an elastic portion including a contacted portion, a first rotation sensor, a second rotation sensor, and a controller. In a case where an abnormality has occurred in the second rotation sensor, the controller executes causing the motor to rotate to cause the contacted portion to abut a first side wall portion located on one end side in the circumferential direction of a first valley portion in the detent plate, acquiring the first rotation angle when the contacted portion abuts on the first side wall portion, reversely rotating the motor to an angle, and determining that the contacted portion is stationary at the parking position.

One aspect of a motor control device according to the present invention is a motor control device that controls a motor of an electric pump. The motor control device includes a drive unit that supplies a drive current to the motor; a control unit that controls a rotation speed of the motor by controlling the drive unit based on a rotation speed command value; and a current detection unit that detects the drive current supplied to the motor, and supplies a current detection value indicating a detection result of the drive current to the control unit. The control unit determines whether or not a foreign fluid suction abnormality occurs in the electric pump, based on a first current detection value acquired at a first timing when the rotation speed command value changes from a first command value to a second command value and a second current detection value acquired after the first timing.

Abstract

An actuator includes a control part, a first rotation sensor, and a second rotation sensor able to detect rotation of an output shaft. The control part performs a first rotation angle acquisition control for acquiring a target rotation angle of the output shaft when a movable part is moved from the second position to the first position as a first rotation angle. The first rotation angle is a rotation angle of the output shaft that is closer to the second position side than when the movable part abuts the first wall part. In the first rotation angle acquisition control, the control part causes the movable part abuts the first wall part, acquires a rotation angle of the output shaft when the movable part has abutted the first wall part, and calculates the first rotation angle based on the rotation angle of the output shaft that has been acquired.

Abstract

In an electric actuator, an output shaft has a housing recess. An end of a motor shaft is housed in the housing recess. A first bearing supports the motor shaft in the housing recess. The motor shaft has an eccentric shaft. A deceleration mechanism includes an external gear connected to the eccentric shaft via a second bearing, an internal gear engaged with the external gear, a flange part expanding from the output shaft, and protrusions protruding from the flange part and disposed along the circumferential direction. The external gear has holes recessed on the other side in the axial direction. The holes are disposed along the circumferential direction and each have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion. The protrusions are inserted into the holes respectively and support the external gear to be swingable around the central axis via the inner surfaces of the holes.
