Patent number: 11499625Abstract: A cooling system for a power transmission unit that can supply oil properly to a differential mechanism and motors. The cooling system comprises: a first branch passage to supply the oil to the differential mechanism; a second branch passage to supply the oil to the first motor; and a third branch passage to supply the oil to the second motor. The second branch passage includes a first oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the first motor, and a second oil feeding section that supplies the oil f to a core of the first motor. The third branch passage includes a third oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the second motor, and a fourth oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a core of the second motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kensei Hata, Akiko Nishimine, Shotaro Kato, Masashi Shinoda, So Okita

Publication number: 20200173490Abstract: A shaft supporting structure in which a shaft support span is reduced to prevent flexure of the shaft. In the supporting structure, a rotary member is mounted on a rotary shaft supported by bearings to be rotated integrally therewith, and the bearings are supported by a support member. The first bearing and the second bearing are disposed on both sides of the rotary member on the rotary shaft, and the first bearing is disposed between the rotary member and the fastening member in the axial direction of the rotary shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Masashi SHINODA, Akiko NISHIMINE, Shotaro KATO, Kensei HATA, So OKITA

Publication number: 20150034047Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a control device for an internal combustion engine that regularly and forcefully removes deposit that is accumulated in cylinders and restrains consecutive occurrences of pre-ignition beforehand. The internal combustion engine has a low-speed pre-ignition region in which a possibility of occurrence of pre-ignition increases, in a low-rotation and high-load region. Ignition means (16) for igniting an air-fuel mixture taken into the cylinders is included.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2012Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroshi Yaguchi, Masashi Shinoda, Takeshi Kitayama

Publication number: 20130180232Abstract: An internal combustion engine according to the present invention includes an exhaust treatment device provided in an exhaust passage and a burner device provided upstream of the exhaust treatment device to raise exhaust temperature. The burner device includes a fuel addition valve configured to add fuel into the exhaust passage, a first ignition device configured to ignite the added fuel, a burner catalyst provided downstream of the first ignition device, and a second ignition device provided downstream of the burner catalyst. The burner catalyst partitions the exhaust passage into an infra-catalyst passage formed inside the burner catalyst and an extra-catalyst passage formed outside the burner catalyst. The second ignition means is positioned between the extra-catalyst passage and the exhaust treatment device. Generated soot can be combusted by the second ignition device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2010Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masashi Shinoda
