Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An abnormality diagnosis apparatus for an electric pump prevents an erroneous decision that a normally functioning electric pump has an abnormality. When a motor is driven by a current of the driving motor using an upper limit current Iα before a predetermined time T 1 passes, it is decided that there is a probability that an abnormality occurs in the pump and the decision is reported to an external device when the number of rotations of the motor is less than the lower limit number of rotations set under lower limit temperature of a hydraulic oil. When the motor is driven by limiting the current of the motor by Iβ and Iγ (<Iα) after T 1 passes, it is decided that there is a probability of occurrence of an abnormality when rotation of the motor stops and the decision is reported to the external device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An abnormality diagnosis apparatus for an electric pump which supplies a working fluid based on a command from an external device, the abnormality diagnosis apparatus comprising: a rotation count detecting unit that detects a number of rotations of a motor which drives the electric pump; and a processing unit which decides in a first series of steps that there is a probability of occurrence of an abnormality in the electric pump when detecting a state in…
