外文翻译原文 Development of Controlled Electric Motor-Driven Pump Type Hydraulic Power Steering System Y. Obata Y. Teramae K. Yamamoto Within a frame of development of ecological power steering systems, we have completed the development of an electric motor-driven pump type hydraulic power steering system,equipped with not conventional brushed motor but brushless motor controlled by ECU, which has achieved a further energy saving. The following describes the content of this system. key words: energy saving,hydraulic power steering, brushless motor 1. Introduction From a viewpoint of recent global ecological problems, an improvement of fuel consumption and exhaust gas regulations such as the Japanese Automobile NOx law have been coming to be world wide important issues. Regulations and taxations that each country tends to impose for environmental protection are enumerated as follows ①Europe:Introduction of carbon taxation in each country ②Japan:Regulation of fuel consumption since 2000 ③U.S.A.:Intensification of CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) regulation, activity of EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) and ARB(Air Resources Board) On todays vehicles driven by gasoline engine or diesel engine, a hydraulic power steering (called hereafter NPS) of which the power source is an engine-driven hydraulic pump is generally mounted. In this power steering system, a hydraulic pump as mentioned above is rotated in proportion with a revolution speed of engine and runs at high revolution speed even during a straight-ahead and high-vehicle speed driving with no steering operation, regardless of a necessity for power assistance, so that it always consumes a wasteful energy. It is said that an energy consumed by such power steering system represents approximately 3% of all the vehicle fuel consumption. Therefore, a request for energy saving in such power steering system would be more and more intensified hereafter. In fact, the conventional engine-driven hydraulic pumps have b
