Patent number: 10760636Abstract: A second dynamic vibration absorber is higher in resonance frequency than a first dynamic vibration absorber. At least one of the resonance frequency of the first dynamic vibration absorber or the resonance frequency of the second dynamic vibration absorber is shifted from associated at least one of the first resonance frequency or the second resonance frequency such that a peak frequency of antiresonance occurring in a higher frequency region of the first dynamic vibration absorber than the resonance frequency of the first dynamic vibration absorber is substantially different from that of antiresonance occurring in a lower frequency region of the second dynamic vibration absorber than the resonance frequency of the second dynamic vibration absorber.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kiyonori Nagato, Takuya Kikuchi, Tsunehiro Mori, Koichi Hirata, Akira Sumitani, Rumiko Yamada, Toru Morishima, Rei Enokizono, Yuichi Shirasuna

Patent number: 10612615Abstract: A second dynamic vibration absorber is higher in resonance frequency than a first dynamic vibration absorber. At least one of a ratio of a mass of a body of the first dynamic vibration absorber to a reciprocating inertial mass of the reciprocative rotation mechanism or a ratio of a mass of a body of the second dynamic vibration absorber to the reciprocating inertial mass of the reciprocative rotation mechanism is set such that a peak frequency of antiresonance occurring in a higher frequency region of the first dynamic vibration absorber than the resonance frequency of the first dynamic vibration absorber is substantially different from that of antiresonance occurring in a lower frequency region of the second dynamic vibration absorber than the resonance frequency of the second dynamic vibration absorber.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kiyonori Nagato, Toru Morishima, Takuya Kikuchi, Tsunehiro Mori, Rei Enokizono, Yuichi Shirasuna, Koichi Hirata, Akira Sumitani, Rumiko Yamada

Fuel injection control method and fuel injection control device for compression self-ignition engine
Patent number: 10012174Abstract: The compression self-ignition engine fuel injection control device is configured to, during one combustion stroke, perform multiple fuel injections to induce multiple combustions in a cylinder. The fuel injection control device comprises a PCM (70) configured to set an interval between a pre-injection and a main injection in the multiple fuel injections, so as to allow valley regions of a curve indicative of a frequency characteristic of a combustion pressure wave generated by the multiple combustions to fall within respective ranges of a plurality of resonant frequency bands of a structure of an engine body of the engine, wherein the PCM is operable to increase the interval between the pre-injection and the main injection more largely as an engine load becomes lower at a same engine speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Naotoshi Shirahashi, Tsunehiro Mori, Takeshi Matsubara, Takahiro Yamamoto, Kiyoaki Iwata, Kiyonori Nagato -

Patent number: 8720406Abstract: There is provided, in one aspect of the present description, an engine. In one example, the engine comprises a cylinder block, a cylinder head, a sheet metal gasket interposed between the block and the head, a first projection projecting outwardly and laterally from a side portion of the block, and a second projection projecting outwardly and laterally from a side portion of the head, the first projection and the second projection facing each other along a coupling surface between the block and the head. The engine further comprises an extension extending from a main body of the sheet metal gasket and located between the first projection and the second projection, and a resilient portion which is provided in the extension, formed resiliently in a direction perpendicular to the coupling surface, and compressed between the first projection and the second projection when the head is fastened on the block.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Naoyuki Abe, Kazuhiro Tomizawa, Yasushi Nakahara, Kiyonori Nagato, Yasuhiro Sudou, Hiroshi Hosokawa, Yuma Miyauchi, Jun Nishikawa, Osamu Torobu, Hiroyuki Abe, Kazuhiro Matsuoka

Patent number: 5450922Abstract: A power plant is mounted on both sides in a transverse direction by mounts. Each of the mounts is placed within a triangle defined by a point on a primary inertial axis of the power plant on the transverse side of the power plant, a point at a node of power plant bending vibrations in a twisting mode or in a fluctuation mode, and a point defined by the intersection of a perpendicular line passing through the primary inertial axis and a horizontal line passing through the node of vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1993Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Nobuo Doi, Koji Horikawa, Kiyonori Nagato, Takeshi Ota
