Rotation angle calculation apparatus and rotation angle calculation method

Abstract

A control apparatus using a multipole resolver for calculating the rotation angle of a motor includes an acquisition unit, a learning unit, a calculation unit, and a correction unit. The acquisition unit acquires a detected angle θ detected by the multipole resolver. The learning unit learns the waveform of an error Errθ for each pole of the resolver. The calculation unit calculates a motor's rotational acceleration variation α. The correction unit compares the rotation speed variation α with a threshold value α. Where α<α, the correction unit performs a normal correction of calculating a corrected angle φ using an error Errθ of one mechanical period (in which the motor makes one full rotation) ago. In contrast, where α>α, the correction unit performs a transition correction of calculating a corrected angle φ using an immediately preceding error Errθ.
