Patent number: 9919701Abstract: The present invention provides a hybrid vehicle driving system in which quick response and improvement in fuel economy are compatible. A hybrid vehicle driving system 1 of the invention includes a cylinder deactivated operation necessity determination unit for determining the necessity of a cylinder deactivated operation of an engine 6 when a required driving force required on a vehicle is smaller than a driving force of the engine 6 that runs in the cylinder deactivated operation. When the cylinder deactivated operation is determined to be unnecessary by the cylinder deactivated operation necessity determination unit, the vehicle can be driven in an EV driving by disengaging a first clutch 41 and a second clutch 42, whereas when the cylinder deactivated operation is determined to be necessary by the cylinder deactivated operation necessity determination unit, the engine 6 runs in the cylinder deactivated operation and at least one of the first clutch 42 and the second clutch 42 is engaged.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Shigetaka Kuroda, Atsushi Hagihara, Hiroyuki Isegawa

Patent number: 5249662Abstract: A parts feeding apparatus includes a parts feeding table detachably supporting parts cassettes. A working area wherein a rail is laid and a standby area are arranged in parallel with each other. A box or frame constituting a table positioning unit is movably supported on the rail. In feeding parts, the table is loaded on the box by a table transport unit provided between the working area and the standby area, and the box is moved on the rail, whereby the table is positioned such that the parts cassette can be brought at a parts taking-out position. The table transport unit unloads the table being laid on the box and transports the table thus unloaded to the standby area, and transports the table from the standby area to a charge station or transports the table from the charge station to the standby area.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1992Date of Patent: October 5, 1993Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Nakano, Atsushi Hagihara, Syozo Kawashima, Kuniyoshi Nakashima

Patent number: 5218753Abstract: An assembling apparatus includes a mounting table on which a printed circuit board is supported by back-up pins held on a base plate. The mounting table is movable in an X direction and a mounting head for mounting electronic parts on the printed circuit board is movable in a Y direction. A back-up pin stocker is provided in the vicinity of the base plate, which stores spare back-up pins being not used. A replacing unit is provided attached to the mounting head to be movable between the base plate and the back-up pin stocker together with the mounting head so that the back-up pins held on the base plate can be replaced with the back-up pins stored in the back-up pin stocker on the basis of data representative of the type of a printed circuit board, etc. by the replacing unit when the printed circuit board to be assembled is changed.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1992Date of Patent: June 15, 1993Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Suzuki, Akihisa Iino, Ken-ichi Komori, Hironobu Nakano, Atsushi Hagihara, Syozo Kawashima
