  • Patent number: 11028790
    Abstract: In a purge control valve device, a purge valve includes a first electromagnetic valve and a second electromagnetic valve which are provided inside a housing. The first electromagnetic valve has a first valve body that controls a flow rate of evaporative fuel flowing in the housing. The second electromagnetic valve has a second valve body that controls a flow rate of evaporative fuel flowing in the housing. The upstream passage and the downstream passage are arranged in series. The first electromagnetic valve switches a seated state and an unseated state of the first valve body. The purge valve has a narrowed passage in which a flow rate of the evaporative fuel is smaller in one of the seated state and the unseated state than in another of the seated state and the unseated state.

  • Patent number: 9765733
    Abstract: An evaporation fuel purge system includes: a fuel tank; a canister that absorbs and desorbs evaporation fuel emitted from the fuel tank; an intake passage for an internal combustion engine in which the evaporation fuel desorbed from the canister is mixed with fuel for combustion; a purge passage that connects the canister to the intake passage; an ejector device disposed in the purge passage; and a fluid drive device. The ejector device has a nozzle part that accelerates external fluid. The fluid drive device sends outside air corresponding to the external fluid to flow into the nozzle part.

  • Patent number: 9086036
    Abstract: An evaporated fuel purge device integrally includes a main passage, a fuel inlet passage, a fuel outlet passage, an ejector, an air inlet passage, and an air outlet passage. Evaporated fuel flows into the main passage through the fuel inlet passage, and flow out of the main passage through the fuel outlet passage. Intake air flows into the ejector from a downstream of a turbocharger through the air inlet passage, and flows out of the ejector to an upstream of the turbocharger through the air outlet passage. At least three of the fuel inlet passage, the fuel outlet passage, the air inlet passage, and the air outlet passage are arranged to extend parallel with each other.

  • Publication number: 20130269661
    Abstract: A control part conducts a pulse width modulation control for a first valve and a second valve in a manner that a sum of a first flow rate of fluid flowing through a first passage and a second flow rate of fluid flowing through a second passage agrees with a target flow rate. When the target flow rate is less than a sum of the maximum of the first flow rate and the maximum of the second flow rate, the control part controls a control timing of a first signal driving the first valve and a control timing of a second signal driving the second valve to be different from each other.

  • Patent number: 7308838
    Abstract: In association with a solenoidal coil 10 being energized to unlock a shift lever 1C, a first movable core 9 and a second movable core 11 magnetically stick together so as to rotationally move in unison from an original position in which the first movable core 9 engages with the second movable core 11. Because the first movable core 9 and the second movable core 11 stick together before unlocking the shift lever 1C, it is possible to avoid the first movable core 9 from hitting the second movable core 11 so as to eliminate an operational noise. A lock plate 7 and a link plate 8 are rotatably provided around a rotational center 6 in relative to the solenoidal coal 10. This prevents the lock plate 7 and the link plate 8 from moving rotationally in unison with the solenoidal coil 10 so as to insure a smooth and quick rotational movement.

This prevents the lock plate 7 and the link plate 8 from moving rotationally in unison with the solenoidal coil 10, thus enabling the lock plate 7 and the link plate 8 to a smooth and quick rotational movement.

  • Patent number: 7038563
    Abstract: In an electromagnetic switch of a starter, a bobbin has two terminal holders on a flange. Each of the terminal holders defines a slot on its end surface and a terminal is press-fitted in the slot in an axial direction of the bobbin. An end of an excitation coil wound around the bobbin is pulled out the bobbin and connected to the terminal. A molded cover provides a through hole and is mounted on the terminal so that the terminal passes through the through hole. A sealing member is press-fitted on the terminal to air-tightly seal the through hole. A rod cover fitted on a rod supporting a movable contact has slits on its cylindrical part in the axial direction. The slits are closed before a distal end of the cylindrical part.
