A motor control device which controls a motor having an output shaft includes a vehicle speed detection part and a driving control part. The vehicle speed detection part detects a vehicle speed, which is a traveling speed of a vehicle mounted with the motor. Based on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection part, the driving control part performs control of switching between a first driving mode which drives the motor, and a second driving mode in which a number of revolutions of the output shaft and an output of the motor are higher than in the first driving mode.

Motor control device, motor device, wiper device, and motor control method

A motor control device includes a driving control part and an upper limit value setting part. The driving control part controls motor driving by switching between a first driving mode and a second driving mode, and controls an output duty ratio so as not to exceed a duty ratio upper limit value. The upper limit value setting part sets, as the duty ratio upper limit value, a low rotation duty ratio upper limit value, a maximum duty ratio upper limit value corresponding to a maximum output value, and an upper limit value of a transition period from the low rotation duty ratio upper limit value to the maximum duty ratio upper limit value, and changes slope information indicating a change amount in the upper limit value of the transition period according to the driving mode when switching between the first driving mode and the second driving mode.

A wiper control method and a wiper control device are provided. An arm falling position for stopping wiper arms for a predetermined time is set above a lower reversal position. When the wiper arms stopped on the side of an upper reversal position with respect to the arm falling position, such as a service position, are moved to a storage position set below the lower reversal position, or when a wiping operation is to be performed again, the wiper arms are temporarily stopped for the predetermined time at the arm falling position. Then, after the predetermined time elapses, the wiper arms are moved to the storage position in the case of a storage operation, and moved to the upper reversal position in the case of restarting, and then the normal wiping operation is performed.
