Abstract

In the processing circuit of the control device, the stress of the compressor impeller is acquired every predetermined control cycle. Setting a small section, and calculating a small section average value and a small section amplitude are repeatedly executed. Setting a middle section, and calculating a middle section average value and a middle section amplitude are repeatedly executed. The first damage value is calculated based on the small section average value and the small section amplitude. The second damage value is calculated based on the middle section average value and the middle section amplitude. An estimated value of the deterioration degree of the compressor impeller is calculated based on the integrated value of the first damage value and the second damage value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A deterioration estimation device that estimates a deterioration degree of a vehicle component provided in a vehicle, the deterioration estimation device comprising a processing circuit, wherein the processing circuit
acquires, for each predetermined control cycle, a parameter in which there is a possibility that deterioration of the vehicle component proceeds when a value fluctuates, repeatedly executes setting a small section such that a length of a time is a first time, and calculating a small section average value that is an average value of a maximum value and a minimum value of the parameter in the small section, and a small section amplitude that is an amplitude of the parameter in the small section, repeatedly executes setting a middle section in which a time point at which the parameter becomes equal to or more than a parameter lower limit value is set as a start point, and a time point at which the parameter becomes less than the parameter lower limit value is set as an end point, and calculating a middle section average value that is an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value of the parameter in the middle section, and a middle section amplitude that is an amplitude of the parameter in the middle section, calculates a first damage value that is a deterioration degree of the vehicle component in the small section based on the small section average value and the small section amplitude, calculates a second damage value that is a deterioration degree of the vehicle component in the middle section based on the middle section average value and the middle section amplitude, and calculates an estimated value of the deterioration degree of the vehicle component based on an integrated value of the first damage value and the second damage value.

2 . The deterioration estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein when setting the middle section, the processing circuit sets, as the end point of the middle section, a time point at which the parameter becomes less than the parameter lower limit value in a state in which an elapsed time from the start point is longer than the first time.

3 . The deterioration estimation device according to claim 2 , wherein when setting the middle section, the processing circuit sets, as the end point of the middle section, a time point at which the parameter becomes less than the parameter lower limit value in a state in which the elapsed time from the start point exceeds a second time longer than the first time.

4 . The deterioration estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter is a stress applied to the vehicle component.
