Patent number: 9257728Abstract: A battery pack has battery cells and bus bars. Each of the battery cells is covered with an exterior case. All the battery cells are electrically connected in series through the bus bars. The battery cells are divided into a first stacked group and a second stacked group arranged adjacent to each other in a lateral direction of the battery pack. The battery cells in each stacked group are stacked in a thickness direction of the battery pack. The stacked groups have a different number of the battery cells in order to make a stair structure. An electrode terminal of one end terminal of the battery cells connected in series is arranged adjacent to the stair structure. A control board is arranged on a lower step part of the stair structure. Devices formed on the control board detect a state of each battery cell.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshiki Adachi, Tatsuya Saito, Norihiko Ito, Yuya Mizuma

Patent number: 9034496Abstract: A battery unit has battery cells having electrode terminals, bus bars having voltage potential detection terminals, a control board having a voltage detection circuit and a discharge duct. In the battery cell, the electrode terminals of the battery cells are electrically connected to the voltage potential detection terminals of the bus bars. The voltage potential detection terminals of the bus bars are electrically connected to the voltage detection circuit formed on the control board through metal conductive members or lines. The voltage detection circuit detects a voltage potential of each of the battery cells through the metal conductive members. The metal conductive members are not dedicated components, and integrated with the discharge duct by insert molding.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshiki Adachi, Tatsuya Saito, Norihiko Ito, Yuya Mizuma

Patent number: 8334632Abstract: A stator includes a stator-core having slots and teeth, and a back-yoke having convex and concave portions. The convex portions are partially inserted into the slots, and the concave portions receive the teeth. The teeth include tip portions whose circumferential widths become larger along a radial direction from the inside to the outside of the stator. The back-yoke includes convex portions whose circumferential widths become larger along the radial direction from the outside to the inside of the stator. The tip portions and the convex portions have substantially the same shape. The length of a joint portion between the tip portion and the convex portion, the circumferential width of the tooth corresponding to a tip surface of the convex portion, the width of a root portion of the tooth, and the circumferential width of the convex portion corresponding to a bottom face of the concave portion are substantially the same.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Keiji Kondou, Makoto Taniguchi, Takeo Maekawa, Akira Fukushima, Akito Akimoto, Shin Kusase, Yuya Mizuma

Patent number: 8227952Abstract: A synchronous machine comprises a stator and a rotor that faces the stator and rotates on a shaft thereof in a circumferential direction. The rotor has magnetic salient poles that generate reluctance torque and magnet-originating magnetic poles that generate magnet torque by using permanent magnets embedded in the rotor. The machine comprises means for shifting a magnetically substantial central position of magnetic flux emanating from the permanent magnets in the circumferential direction, by an electrical angle ?/2 plus a predetermined angle ??, from a reference position taken as a central position between paired magnetic salient poles composing each magnetic pole of the machine among the magnetic salient poles. Hence a maximum amplitude of a sum between a harmonic component of the magnet torque and the reluctance torque is changed from that obtained at the reference position without the shift.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Akiya Shichijoh, Shin Kusase, Yuya Mizuma, Satoshi Ito

Patent number: 7723889Abstract: In a reluctance rotary electric machine, a movable part is arranged opposing part of an alignment of a plurality of stator poles to be movable in a predetermined direction. In the movable part, at least one pair of salient poles is configured to magnetically couple to the excited at least one first pair of the plurality of poles so as to form a first magnetic flux in loop thereamong. A segment magnetic-path portion is arranged to be magnetically separated from the at least one pair of salient poles. The segment magnetic-path portion works to magnetically couple therethrough between the at least one second pair of the plurality of stator poles so as to form a second magnetic flux in loop thereamong. The first magnetic flux and second magnetic flux create a reluctance force to move the movable part in the predetermined direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Shin Kusase, Yuya Mizuma

Publication number: 20070252488Abstract: A vehicle alternator is disclosed including a metallic frame supporting a stator having an armature winding and a rotor having a field winding. A rectifying unit is fixedly mounted on the frame for rectifying an alternating current voltage induced in the armature winding upon rotation of the rotor and comprises a stack of a positive-electrode radiating fin, carrying thereon a positive-electrode rectifier element, and a negative-electrode radiating fin, carrying thereon a negative-electrode rectifier element, between which a heat conducting sheet having insulation property is intervened. The frame carries thereon an insulating cover for covering the rectifying unit. The cover includes an encompassing section that collectively encompasses the positive-electrode rectifier element and an associated neighborhood to prevent the cooling wind drawn to an inside of the cover due to rotation of the cooling fan from directly impinging upon the positive-electrode rectifier element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shin Kusase, Yuya Mizuma
