Yoshihisa OKABUCHI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11962202
    Abstract: A motor includes a shaft, a rotor, a stator including a coil and opposed to the rotor, and a bearing configured to support the shaft. In addition, the motor further includes a first temperature sensor disposed farther toward an outer periphery side than the coil, and a second temperature sensor disposed farther toward an inner periphery side than the coil.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc.
    Inventors: Kouji Kebukawa, Kentaro Suzuki, Wataru Nogamida, Yoshihisa Okabuchi, Takayuki Sugaya, Takahiro Saito

  • Patent number: 11539321
    Abstract: The degree of flexibility of a speed curve for a target rotational speed of a motor is to be increased. A motor control circuit 11 measures a duty cycle of an input speed command signal Sc indicating a target rotational speed of a motor 50 to be driven, sets an inflection point In for each duty cycle obtained by equally dividing a possible duty cycle range assumed by the speed command signal Sc based on resolution information 301 indicating a resolution of the duty cycle of the speed command signal Sc, calculates a rotational speed corresponding to the measured duty cycle of the speed command signal Sc based on rotational speed information 302 indicating rotational speeds at the inflection points In on a speed curve and the set inflection points In, and determines the calculated rotational speed as the target rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20220021322
    Abstract: In a motor drive control device including a machine learning function, appropriate motor drive control in accordance with the usage environment of a motor is realized. A motor drive control device 10 includes: a measurement data generation unit 23 that generates measurement data 300 relating to operation of a motor 50; a training data generation unit 24 that attaches predetermined identification information indicating the operation state of the motor 50 to the measurement data 300 and generates training data 310; a machine learning unit 25 that generates a learned model 320 for determining the operation state of the motor 50 by performing machine learning using the training data 310; and a monitor control unit 26 that monitors the operation state of the motor 50 using the learned model 320.
