  • Patent number: 11621629
    Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus for an electric drive object that generates a drive force in response to receiving electric power, the diagnostic apparatus includes a circuitry configured to: acquire time series force data associated with the drive force; identify a force oscillation level associated with the drive force based on the force data; set an oscillation threshold at a first level when the drive object operates at a first speed and set the threshold at a second level higher than the first level when the drive object operates at a second speed higher than the first speed; and identify an irregularity of the drive object in response to determining that the force oscillation level exceeds the oscillation threshold.

  • Patent number: 11398789
    Abstract: A motor control system includes a motor and a motor control circuitry. The motor includes a rotation axis and a bearing rotatably supporting the rotation axis. The motor control circuitry is configured to control the motor. The motor control circuitry includes a driving time adding circuit configured to add up a driving time of the motor to obtain an accumulated driving time of the motor, a remaining lifetime calculation circuit configured to calculate a remaining lifetime of the bearing based on a lifetime of the bearing and the accumulated driving time, and a warning outputting circuit configured to output warning information when the remaining lifetime is equal to or less than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 9079226
    Abstract: A high-pressure liquid jet cleaner removes particles adhered to the inside of scribe lines formed at consistent intervals in a thin film solar cell panel and prevents the surface of a thin film formed at the surface of the solar cell panel from being damaged or detached. Jet nozzles are arranged at consistent intervals in the longitudinal direction of a nozzle holder, corresponding to positions of the respective scribe lines. The nozzle holder is supported by supports provided at both ends of the nozzle holder to allow the nozzle holder to move in the longitudinal direction. While the solar cell panel is conveyed parallel to the scribe lines, a high-pressure liquid is jetted out in a straight line from the jet nozzles to the respective scribe lines for cleaning, such that the high-pressure liquid jetting direction of each jet nozzle is parallel to that of the other jet nozzles.

  • Publication number: 20120125365
    Abstract: Provided is a high-pressure liquid jet cleaner which is capable of assuredly removing particles adhered to the inside of a large number of scribe lines formed at consistent intervals in a thin film solar cell panel and which eliminates a fear that the surface of a thin film formed at the surface of the solar cell panel may be damaged or that the thin film may be detached. Jet nozzles are arranged at consistent intervals in the longitudinal direction of a nozzle holder, corresponding to the positions of the respective scribe lines of the thin film solar cell panel. The nozzle holder is supported by supports provided at both ends of the nozzle holder in a manner to allow the nozzle holder to move in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle holder.
