Abstract:
Temperature-dependent motor control device, including: a motor controller configured to switch a motor control state among an activated state in which the motor is activated by a first current, an activation stopped state in which activation of the motor is stopped by stopping current supply, and an activation suspended state in which activation of the motor is suspended with a second current smaller than the first current kept supplied; and a temperature estimator configured to calculate an estimated motor temperature value and to perform a first calculation for gradually increasing the estimated value when the motor is in the activated state, a second calculation for gradually decreasing the estimated value when the motor is in the activation stopped state, and a third calculation for gradually decreasing the estimated value at a rate of decrease lower than that in the second calculation when the motor is in the activation suspended state.
