  • Patent number: 12009683
    Abstract: The standby power supply device includes one or more secondary batteries and a charging circuit that charges the secondary batteries. The charging circuit includes a voltage adjuster that controls the state of charge of the secondary batteries, and a controller that controls the voltage adjuster by detecting the degree of deterioration of the secondary batteries over time. In the charging circuit, the voltage adjuster charges the secondary batteries at a charge voltage lower than a full charge voltage of the secondary batteries to bring the secondary batteries into a load power supply standby state, and gradually increases the charge voltage of the secondary batteries according to the degree of deterioration of the secondary batteries detected by the controller.

  • Patent number: 11931949
    Abstract: A filament winding device includes a fiber bundle retainer that temporarily retains fiber bundles. The fiber bundle retainer includes: a reel member including an outer peripheral portion having pins movable in the axial direction relative to the fiber bundles supplied through fiber bundle guides and rotatable about the axis of the liner, the reel member capable of winding the fiber bundles onto the outer peripheral portion; a first cutting unit configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the circumferential direction, the part being between a part of the fiber bundle wound on the outer peripheral portion and a part of the fiber bundle wound on the liner; and a second cutting unit different from the first cutting unit and configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the axial direction, the part being wound on the outer peripheral portion.

  • Patent number: 11472095
    Abstract: In a filament winding apparatus, a supplying device supplies fiber bundles to a surface of a core material. A moving part is movable relative to the core material, and rotatable around a rotational axis extending in a vertical direction. A small diameter aligning guide part is placed at the moving part and has an opening portion through which the core material can pass. The small diameter aligning guide part guides fiber bundles to an outer peripheral surface of the core material such that the fiber bundles are arranged side by side in a circumferential direction of the core material. The tightening fiber bobbin supporting part is placed at the moving part and rotates around a center of the opening portion. A winding guide rotates with the tightening fiber bobbin supporting part and guides a tightening fiber bundle drawn from a tightening fiber bobbin toward the surface of the core material.
