  • Patent number: 11909341
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a power conversion device capable of suppressing an increase in a current flowing through a motor even if a voltage command exceeds the amplitude of a carrier wave. In order to achieve the above object, the power conversion device controls the driving of a motor by converting a DC voltage into a voltage based on a voltage command by an operation of a switching circuit and includes: a modulated wave generator that generates a first modulated wave from the voltage command; and a control signal generator that generates a control signal for controlling the operation of the switching circuit from the first modulated wave and a carrier wave. The modulated wave generator generates a square wave based on a voltage command norm as the first modulated wave.

  • Publication number: 20230299700
    Abstract: The present invention achieves highly accurate control characteristics by estimating an induced voltage coefficient of a magnet motor without rotary auto-tuning. A first power Pc is calculated on the basis of the output voltage and output current of the magnet motor, and a second power Pc{circumflex over (?)} is calculated on the basis of the electric circuit constant, current command, output frequency, and induced voltage coefficient of the magnet motor. The induced voltage coefficient is estimated so that the calculated first power follows the second power, and the driving of the magnet motor is controlled in accordance with the induced voltage coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20230120796
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor is able to detect a magnetic field applied from a position detecting magnet that makes relative movement as an optical reflector is rotated. Rotation of the optical reflector enables the position detecting magnet to pass through a reference position where a rotation axis, a center or approximate center of the magnetic sensor, and a center or approximate center of the position detecting magnet are located in order on a straight line, as seen in the axial direction of the rotation axis. The magnetic sensor is disposed in an XZ plane that includes a magnetization direction passing through the center or approximate center of the position detecting magnet located at the reference position, and the axial direction of the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 10903767
    Abstract: According to the present invention, in position sensorless control for switching between a 120-degree energization scheme for a low-speed region and a 180-degree energization scheme for a mid-to-high-speed region, stable and highly accurate speed control characteristics are provided by suppressing speed deviation ??r in the low-speed region, and by preventing current jump-up caused by a discontinuous rotational speed occurring during switching to the mid-to-high-speed region. In the case of driving in the 120-degree energization scheme, a voltage command value is corrected such that an estimated speed value or a detected speed value follows a speed command.

    Abstract: A syringe device includes an administration holder, and a cylinder portion which allows insertion of the administration holder. The cylinder portion includes a coupling holder, a slit holder coupled to the coupling holder, and a double-ended needle assembly disposed slidably in an interior of the coupling holder. A cartridge for a freeze-dry product is mounted, in the administration holder, and a cartridge for solvent is mounted in the coupling holder. When the administration holder is pushed, the double-ended needle assembly slides. When one of the needle points pricks the cartridge for freeze-dry product, the other needle point of the double-ended needle assembly pricks the cartridge for the solvent, and then the needle points unseal the cartridges by a further sliding movement of the double-ended needle assembly.
