Abstract

When an adjustment information input unit ( 1 ) acquires one of information of a feeling value and steering control information, a steering control information calculation unit ( 2 ) calculates data of a control characteristic graph visually representing control characteristics of steering using the acquired information. An adjustment information display unit ( 3 ) displays, on the same screen, a control characteristic graph in accordance with the data of the control characteristic graph and a feeling value operation section visually showing the feeling value.

Claims (22)

1. A power steering adjustment device comprising:

an adjustment information inputter acquiring at least one of information of a feeling value representing steering feeling of a steering wheel of a vehicle and steering control information representing control information of assist power of steering;

a steering control information calculator calculating data of at least one control characteristic graph visually representing control characteristics of steering using the at least one of information acquired by the adjustment information inputter; and

an adjustment information display displaying the at least one control characteristic graph in accordance with the data of the at least one control characteristic graph and a feeling value operation section visually showing the feeling value on a same screen,

wherein the feeling value is obtained from relation between a steering angle and steering torque in the steering control information.

2. The power steering adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein, when one of information of the feeling value and the steering control information is input as input information, the steering control information calculator calculates another information to be linked to the input information, and

the adjustment information display displays a value of the input information and a value of the other information.

3. The power steering adjustment device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one control characteristic graph is a plurality of control characteristic graphs,

the power steering adjustment device further comprises a display changer acquiring change input of layout display of the plurality of control characteristic graphs and the feeling value operation section, and

when the display changer acquires the change input of the layout display, the adjustment information display displays the plurality of control characteristic graphs and the feeling value operation section in the layout display in accordance with the change input.

4. The power steering adjustment device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the steering control information calculator changes a display range of a control characteristic graph axis in response to a vehicle speed.

5. The power steering adjustment device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the feeling value operation section accepts an input of the feeling value via a sliding input on a value bar.

6. The power steering adjustment device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the feeling value operation section accepts an input of the feeling value as a difference from a reference value set to be 0.

7. The power steering adjustment device comprising:

an adjustment information inputter acquiring at least one of information of a feeling value representing steering feeling of a steering wheel of a vehicle and steering control information representing control information of assist power of steering;

a steering control information calculator calculating data of at least one control characteristic graph visually representing control characteristics of steering using the at least one of information acquired by the adjustment information inputter; and

an adjustment information display displaying the at least one control characteristic graph in accordance with the data of the at least one control characteristic graph and a feeling value operation section visually showing the feeling value on a same screen,

wherein the feeling value is obtained from relation between a steering parameter and a motor compensating current of a motor that assists steering.
