Steering control system for vehicle
First Claim
1. A steering control system for a vehicle determining a steering angle sent to a steering shaft according to an operation angle of a handle shaft and a driving stage of the vehicle, and rotating the steering shaft by an actuator to create the steering angle, comprising:
- an angle detector identifying a phase of a rotation angle of said shaft to determine an angular position of said steering shaft; and
a steering controller receiving a pattern output of said identified angle phase from said angle detector, wherein said steering controller identifies a rotational direction of said angle detector based on said pattern output, performs a sampling of said pattern output at a predetermined interval, identifies an order of combination order of said identified pattern of said angle phase in a first sampling and a second sampling following to said first sampling, and determines a pattern exchange number with said rotational direction, said steering controller adds a number corresponding to said pattern exchange number to a counting number when said rotational direction is plus and decrease a number corresponding to said pattern exchange number from said counting number when said rotational direction is minus, and said steering controller has an angular position counter of steering shaft registers said angular position of steering shaft by said counting number.

Abstract
A angle sensor 103 identifies a angle phase of a rotatable member based on a kind of an identified pattern of the angle phase to detect an angular position of a steering shaft driven by a motor 6. A steering controller 100 identifies a rotational direction based on an identified pattern output of the angle and performs a sampling of the pattern output at a predetermined interval, identifies an order of combination order of the identified pattern of an angle phase in a first sampling and a second sampling following to the first sampling, and determines a pattern exchange number with the rotational direction from the order in the first sampling to the order in the second sampling. The steering controller 100 adds a number corresponding to the pattern exchange number to a counting number when the rotational direction is plus and decrease a number corresponding to the pattern exchange number from the counting number when the rotational direction is minus in order to identify the angular position of the steering shaft by the counted number.
