Abstract

An oil pressure control device for supplying oil pressure by rotating a hydraulic pump, by means of a motor, comprises an oil pressure sensor; a speed instruction operation unit for outputting a speed instruction value, based on a difference between an oil pressure determination value from the oil pressure sensor and an oil pressure instruction value; a torque instruction value operation unit for calculating a torque instruction value, based on a difference between a speed determination value and the speed instruction value; and a current control unit for controlling a current of the motor, based on the torque instruction value, and adds the load variation compensation speed outputted from the load variation compensation unit and the speed instruction value.

Claims

1. An oil pressure control device for supplying oil pressure by rotating a hydraulic pump, using a motor, comprising:

an oil pressure sensor operatively placed between the hydraulic pump and a load, and configured to determine an oil pressure;

a motor position determination unit mounted on the motor determines a speed of the motor;

a speed instruction operation unit calculates an oil pressure difference by subtracting an oil pressure determination value determined by the oil pressure sensor from an oil pressure instruction value, and outputs a speed instruction value, based on the oil pressure difference;

a load variation compensation unit outputs a load variation compensation speed for compensating the speed instruction value outputted from the speed instruction operation unit, depending on variation of the oil pressure determination value;

a differentiation unit differentiates a position determination value from the motor position determination unit and outputs a speed determination value;

an addition unit calculates a compensated speed instruction value by adding the speed instruction value from the speed instruction operation unit and the load variation compensation speed from the load variation compensation unit;

a torque instruction value operation unit calculates a speed difference by subtracting the speed determination value from the compensated speed instruction value, and calculates a torque instruction value, based on the speed difference; and

a current control unit controls a current of the motor, based on the torque instruction value;

wherein the load variation compensation unit sets the load variation compensation speed to be larger, when the oil pressure is lower than a predetermined value, than a value to which the load variation compensation speed is set when the oil pressure is higher than another predetermined value.

2. The oil pressure control device according to claim 1, wherein the load variation compensation unit starts outputting a predefined compensation value as the load variation compensation speed at a timing when the oil pressure determination value becomes lower than a load variation compensation start level, and starts outputting zero as the load variation compensation speed at a timing when the oil pressure determination value becomes higher than a load variation compensation stop level.
