Abstract

The present embodiments relate to a filter device and a steering control device. The filter device filters noise by comprising a capacitor unit and a short-circuit prevention unit, wherein the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit are connected in series to each other, and when the capacitor unit is short-circuited, the short-circuit prevention unit may block a short-circuit current by changing impedance formed through the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit which are connected in series to each other.

Claims (23)

1 . A filter device for filtering noise, including a capacitor unit and a short-circuit prevention unit,

wherein the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit are connected in series, and

wherein when the capacitor unit is short-circuited, the short-circuit prevention unit blocks a short-circuit current by changing an impedance formed through the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit connected in series.

2 . The filter device of claim 1 , wherein the capacitor unit includes a capacitor, and the short-circuit prevention unit includes a resistor connected in series to the capacitor.

3 . The filter device of claim 2 , wherein when the capacitor of the capacitor unit is short-circuited, the resistor of the short-circuit prevention unit blocks the short-circuit current as a resistance is changed to increase the impedance of the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit connected in series.

8 . The filter device of claim 7 , wherein when the capacitor unit includes a first capacitor unit and a second capacitor unit, and the filter device further includes the inductor unit, the first capacitor unit, the second capacitor unit, and the inductor unit constitute a π-shaped LC filter.

9 . A steering control device, comprising:

a filter unit filtering noise of electrical energy; and

a steering motor power supply unit converting the filtered electrical energy based on a steering motor control signal to generate an assist steering force, and controlling a steering motor based on the assist steering force,

wherein the filter unit includes a capacitor unit and a short-circuit prevention unit,

wherein the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit are connected in series, and

wherein when the capacitor unit is short-circuited, the short-circuit prevention unit blocks a short-circuit current by changing an impedance formed through the capacitor unit and the short-circuit prevention unit connected in series.
