  • Patent number: 7814889
    Abstract: An electric fuel pump includes a pump unit, motor unit, fuel discharge unit, stator holder, magnet wire, connection terminal, first mold resin, driver board assembly, and second mold resin. The fuel discharge unit includes a discharge port member and discharges fuel supplied from the pump unit through the motor unit. The stator holder is provided to the motor unit and includes a partition which defines the motor unit and the fuel discharge unit. The partition includes a terminal insertion hole and a fuel passage. The connection terminal is connected to the magnet wire. The driver board assembly is stored in a space formed in the discharge port member and electrically connected to the connection terminal. The second mold resin molds the driver board assembly and a connecting portion where the driver board assembly is connected to the connection terminal.

  • Publication number: 20090314600
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch includes a rotor, armature hub, armature, magnetic body and first permanent magnet, field core, excitation coil, and second permanent magnet. The rotor is rotatably disposed in the housing of a driven device. The armature hub is fixed to the rotating shaft of the driven device. The armature is disposed on the armature hub to be movable in an axial direction. The magnetic body is incorporated in the rotor. The first permanent magnet connects the armature to the rotor. The field core is attached to the housing and inserted in the rotor to be in noncontact with it. The excitation coil is disposed in the field core and excited, when cutting off power transmission, to cancel a magnetic force of the first permanent magnet, thus releasing the armature from the first permanent magnet. The second permanent magnet separates the armature from the rotor, when cutting off power transmission, to move the armature toward the armature hub.

  • Publication number: 20080271714
    Abstract: An electric fuel pump includes a pump unit, motor unit, fuel discharge unit, stator holder, magnet wire, connection terminal, first mold resin, driver board assembly, and second mold resin. The motor unit drives the pump unit. The fuel discharge unit includes a discharge port member and discharges fuel supplied from the pump unit through the motor unit. The stator holder is provided to the motor unit and includes a stator support which supports a stator of a motor and a partition which defines the motor unit and the fuel discharge unit. The partition includes a terminal insertion hole and a fuel passage. The magnet wire is wound around a core of the stator. The connection terminal is connected to the magnet wire. The first mold resin molds the core and a connecting portion where the magnet wire is connected to the connection terminal. The driver board assembly is stored in a space formed in the discharge port member and electrically connected to the connection terminal.

  • Publication number: 20080194340
    Abstract: In a power transmission apparatus, a driving rotary body is rotated by power from a driving device. A driven rotary body includes a driven rotary member attached to a rotating shaft of a driven device and a holding plate attached to the driven rotary member. A damper mechanism includes a cylindrical elastic member attached to the driving rotary body and a connecting member which is engaged in the elastic member to be movable forward/backward. At least one rotation transmission member is attached to the connecting member, has one end connected to the driving rotary body through the damper mechanism and the other end separably connected to the driven rotary body, and transmits rotation of the driving rotary body to the driven rotary body. A preset load setting member is mounted between the driven rotary body and the connecting member to elastically deform the rotation transmission member, thus applying a preset load.

  • Patent number: 6200221
    Abstract: In a power transmission apparatus, a torque limiter mechanism has a plurality of holding portions, a disc plate and a flange, and an elastic member. The plurality of holding portions are fixed to either one of a pulley and a hub and aligned substantially equidistantly in a circumferential direction. The disc plate and flange are provided to either one of the pulley and the hub and oppose the holding portions. The elastic member is frictionally connected to the holding portions and the disc plate and flange, and is fixed to the remaining one of the pulley and the hub. The elastic member has connecting portions and an elastic support. The connecting portions are frictionally connected to the holding portions and the disc plate and flange, and correspond in number to the holding portions.
