Abstract

There are provided a control signal generation unit 120 that generates a control signal on the basis of a cosine wave signal and a sine wave signal whose frequencies are a control frequency identified according to a vibration noise source, and a correction value update unit that updates a correction value to a value for decreasing signal power of an error signal on the basis of a relationship between increase and decrease of the signal power of the error signal obtained from remaining vibration noise that remains after interference sound that is generated on the basis of the control signal and propagates through a secondary route interferes with vibration noise generated from the vibration noise source and increase and decrease of the correction value used for correction of the control frequency.

Claims (9)

1. An active vibration noise control apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to operate as:

a control signal generation unit that generates a control signal on a basis of a cosine wave signal and a sine wave signal, where the frequencies of the cosine wave signal and sine wave signal are a control frequency identified according to a vibration noise source; and

a correction value update unit that updates a correction value, for correcting a difference between the control frequency and a frequency of vibration noise, to a value for decreasing signal power of an error signal, on a basis of a relationship between increase and decrease of the signal power of the error signal and increase and decrease of the correction value used for correction of the control frequency, wherein

the error signal is obtained from remaining vibration noise that remains after interference sound, that is generated on a basis of the control signal and propagates through a secondary route, interferes with the vibration noise generated from the vibration noise source, and

the relationship between the increase and decrease of the signal power of the error signal and the increase and decrease of the correction value is obtained by partially differentiating the signal power of the error signal with respect to the correction value.

2. The active vibration noise control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the correction value update unit determines the relationship between the increase and decrease of the signal power of the error signal and the increase and decrease of the correction value, on a basis of a cosine wave amplitude which is a component of the cosine wave signal of the interference sound, the component being calculated by using a predetermined transfer characteristic of the secondary route, a sine wave amplitude which is another component of the sine wave signal of the interference sound, the another component being calculated by using the transfer characteristic of the secondary route, the cosine wave signal, and the sine wave signal.

3. The active vibration noise control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the correction value update unit updates the correction value according to a magnitude of a proportion of change of the signal power of the error signal to change of the correction value, so that a change amount of the correction value is made larger when the proportion of the change of the signal power of the error signal to the change of the correction value is large, and so that the change amount of the correction value is made smaller when the proportion of the change of the signal power of the error signal to the change of the correction value is small.

4. The active vibration noise control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the correction value update unit updates the correction value within a predetermined correction range of the control frequency.
