Abstract
In a magnetic pole direction detection device, a detecting target magnet is attached to a tip of a rotating shaft of the rotor. A magnetic detection unit outputs a detection signal which changes according to a change in a magnetic field. A magnetic pole direction calculation unit calculates a magnetic pole direction of a rotor based on the detection signal. A current detection unit detects a current flowing through each multiphase coil. A rotating magnetic field vector calculation unit calculates a vector of a rotating magnetic field based on magnitude of the detected current. A direction correction amount calculation unit calculates a direction correction amount based on a direction and magnitude of the rotating magnetic field calculated by the rotating magnetic field vector calculation unit. A magnetic pole direction correction unit corrects the calculated magnetic pole direction by using the calculated direction correction amount calculated.
