A motor power supply device includes a first power supply, a motor driven by a power supplied from the first power supply, a first power supply line, a first power supply side semiconductor switch, a first output side semiconductor switch, a first power supply side voltage detection unit disposed on a first power supply side with respect to the first power supply side semiconductor switch on the first power supply line and configured to detect a voltage of the first power supply line, and a control unit configured to execute control to determine a state of power supply from the first power supply to the first power supply side semiconductor switch based on a measured value obtained by the first power supply side voltage detection unit.

Motor power supply device

A shift device includes a shift switching member including a plurality of valley portions corresponding to shift positions, a motor including a rotor and a stator and configured to drive the shift switching member, a first drive system including a first inverter configured to output a voltage for driving the motor, a second drive system provided separately from the first drive system and including a second inverter configured to output a voltage for driving the motor; and a positioning member configured to be fitted into any one of the plurality of valley portions of the shift switching member to establish the corresponding shift position. When driving the motor, the shift position is switched by the voltages output from the first drive system and the second drive system.

Shift device

A shift device mounted on a vehicle includes a motor configured to drive, by electric power supplied from a power supply mounted on the vehicle, a shift switching member configured to switch shift positions, a cut-off unit configured to cut off conduction of a power supply line through which the electric power is supplied to the motor, and a drive circuit unit configured to output the electric power to the motor and including a driving switching element configured to execute a switching operation. The shift device is configured to determine an abnormality of the power supply line when a voltage of the power supply line is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, turn off the driving switching element, and cut off the conduction of the power supply line by the cut-off unit.

Shift device and vehicular motor control device

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including valley portions corresponding to shift positions; a motor including a rotor and a stator and configured to drive the shift switching member; a first drive system including a first control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; a second drive system provided separately from the first drive system and including a second control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; and a positioning member configured to establish the shift positions in a state in which the positioning member is fitted into any one of the valley portions of the shift switching member. The shift device acquires the shift positions when the motor is driven by the voltage output from one of the first and second drive systems to move the positioning member such that the positioning member continuously passes through the valley portions.

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including valley parts corresponding to a shift position; a positioning member provided to establish the shift position in a state of being fitted into any one of the valley parts; a motor including a rotor and a stator and driving the shift switching member; a speed reduction mechanism section rotating the shift switching member in a state in which a rotation speed transmitted from the motor is reduced; a rotor rotational angle sensor detecting a rotational angle of the rotor; and an output shaft rotational angle sensor detecting a rotational angle of the shift switching member. The shift device detects the number of rotations of the motor based on association between output values of the output shaft rotational angle sensor and the rotor rotational angle sensor.
