Damper control device

1. A damper control device for controlling vibration of an unsprung member by controlling a damping force of a damper interposed between a sprung member and the unsprung member of a vehicle on the basis of a damping property prepared in advance, the damper control device comprising:

a correction unit configured to extract a sprung resonant frequency component of a stroke velocity of the damper, and correct a damping force target value of the damper on the basis of the extracted sprung resonant frequency component,

wherein the correction unit is configured to obtain a correction gain from the sprung resonant frequency component of the stroke velocity and vibration information of the damper, and obtain the damping force target value on the basis of the damping property and the correction gain.

2. The damper control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the correction unit is configured to perform correction to increase an absolute value of the damping force target value in a case where the sprung resonant frequency component of the stroke velocity is suppressible with the damping force of the damper, and perform correction to reduce the absolute value of the damping force target value in a case where the sprung resonant frequency component of the stroke velocity is not suppressible with the damping force of the damper.

3. A damper control device for controlling vibration of an unsprung member by controlling a damping force of a damper interposed between a sprung member and the unsprung member of a vehicle on the basis of a damping property prepared in advance, the damper control device comprising:

a correction unit configured to extract a sprung resonant frequency component of a stroke velocity of the damper, and correct a damping force target value of the damper on the basis of the extracted sprung resonant frequency component,

wherein the correction unit is configured to perform correction to increase an absolute value of the damping force target value in a case where a direction of extension/compression of the damper matches a direction of the sprung resonant frequency component of the stroke velocity, and perform correction to reduce the absolute value of the damping force target value in a case where the direction of extension/compression of the damper does not match the direction of the sprung resonant frequency component of the stroke velocity.

4. The damper control device according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case where the stroke velocity is the same along extension and compression of the damper, the correction unit is configured to perform correction such that a sum of the damping force target value along the extension and the damping force target value along the compression is equal before and after the correction.

5. The damper control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the correction gain is configured to change in such a manner that the correction gain increases as the stroke velocity of the damper increases.

6. The damper control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the correction gain is configured to change on the basis of a vibration level representing a magnitude of the vibration of the unsprung member.

7. The damper control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sprung vibration level detection unit configured to detect a vibration level of the sprung member;

an unsprung vibration level detection unit configured to detect a vibration level of the unsprung member; and

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the correction unit needs to perform correction on the basis of the vibration level of the sprung member and the vibration level of the unsprung member, wherein

the correction unit is configured to correct the damping force target value if the determination unit determines that the correction needs to be performed.

8. The damper control device according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration information indicates a direction of the damping force of the damper.
