Patent number: 11168741Abstract: A dog clutch for a vehicle includes gear-side meshing teeth provided on a shifting gear fitted so as to be rotatable relative to a shaft, and a dog ring disposed adjacent to the shifting gear in the axial direction of the shaft. The dog ring includes a first ring, a second ring, and springs interposed between the two rings. The first ring is provided with meshing teeth that can be meshed with the gear-side meshing teeth of the shifting gear. The second ring is provided with meshing teeth that can be meshed with the gear-side meshing teeth of the shifting gear. The springs are provided on the inner peripheral side of a circle that is centered on a rotational axis and that circumscribes a portion of the meshing teeth of the first ring and the second ring positioned on the outermost peripheral side.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yukihiro Inaba, Akihiko Ichikawa, Tomoyasu Kurimoto, Takeshi Kamiya, Yuuki Masui, Isamu Shiotsu, Yasumitsu Osada

Patent number: 10926647Abstract: A vehicle driving apparatus includes a first motor, a second motor, and a planetary mechanism, and obtains a driving force by combining motive forces obtained from the first motor and the second motor by a planetary gear of the planetary mechanism. The vehicle driving apparatus includes at least one of a design value and a control quantity in which a frequency ratio between a sound generated by a rotation of the first motor and a sound generated by a rotation of the second motor satisfies a reduction condition of dissonance.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHOInventors: Teruhiko Nakazawa, Ryoichi Hibino, Makoto Kusakabe, Yasumitsu Osada, Shoji Nakahara, Hiroyuki Nishizawa, Yasuhiro Torii

Patent number: 9716412Abstract: This rotor for a rotating electric motor includes a hollow cylindrical rotor core with a plurality of laminated electromagnetic steel plates. The inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the rotor core each face a magnetic gap. The rotor core is interposed between a first rotating support member and a second rotating support member. A flange is formed on a first end of a tubular pin protruding from a first hole of the first rotating support member. A tubular expansion part of the tubular pin plastically deforms due to fluid pressure so as to come into close contact with a through hole of the rotor core, the first hole of the first rotating support member, and a second hole of the second rotating support member.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Hayashi, Takahiro Shiina, Masahide Uemura, Akira Murakami, Tomoyuki Tohyama, Eiji Tsuchiya, Yasumitsu Osada, Wataru Hijikata, Takao Watanabe

Patent number: 9673689Abstract: Provided is a compound motor (14) comprising a magnet rotor (19) supported by bearings (B3, B4) in a rotatable manner, a winding rotor (20) supported by bearings (B5, B6) in a rotatable manner relative to the magnet rotor (19) at the inner side of the magnet rotor (19) and having rotor winding units (20b), and slip ring mechanisms (25). A space is formed in the inner circumference of the winding rotor (20). At least a part of the slip ring mechanisms (25) is arranged in the space of the inner circumference of the winding rotor (20). The bearings (B3 to B6) include bearings (B3, B6), the internal diameter of each is larger than the size of slip ring mechanisms (25) with respect to the radial direction. The bearings (B3, B6) are arranged outside the slip ring mechanisms (25) with respect to the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Chuo Kenkyusho, Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiro Shiina, Akira Murakami, Tadashi Fujiyoshi, Yasumitsu Osada, Takao Watanabe, Shu Asami, Eiji Tsuchiya, Tomoyuki Tohyama
