  • Publication number: 20180265021
    Abstract: A vehicle power supply control method includes switching, when a constant voltage is required of a power supply circuit in generating electric power by a power generator, the power supply circuit being connected to a primary storage battery and configured to be connected to a secondary storage battery that has a lower internal resistance than that of the primary storage battery, between connection of the secondary storage battery to the power supply circuit and disconnection of the secondary storage battery from the power supply circuit depending on the required constant voltage, current output to the power supply circuit by the power generator, and a state of charge of the secondary storage battery.

  • Publication number: 20180245525
    Abstract: A vehicle traveling control method includes detecting a remaining fuel amount in a fuel tank including a fuel chamber in which a suction port of a fuel pump is disposed for sucking fuel to be supplied to an engine, the fuel tank being configured to generate negative pressure for sucking fuel to the fuel chamber by ejecting a part of fuel sucked by the fuel pump into the fuel chamber via a fuel line, permitting, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, inertial traveling during which a vehicle travels, with the engine kept stopped, operating, when the detected remaining fuel amount is less than a first threshold, the fuel pump despite the engine stopped owing to the inertial traveling, and prohibiting stop of the engine when the detected remaining fuel amount is less than a second threshold smaller than the first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180147915
    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning system that performs air heating by utilizing heat of a coolant that cools an engine includes a circulation flow passage connecting a coolant inflow portion and a coolant discharge portion of the engine, a heating heater core disposed in the circulation flow passage, a radiator disposed in the circulation flow passage, a radiator fan configured to supply an air to the radiator, and a controller configured to control the radiator fan. When a water pump configured to pressure-feed the coolant is stopped during automatic stop of the engine, the controller drives to rotate the radiator fan during automatic stop of the engine so as to let convection take place in the coolant in the radiator and supply the coolant to the heating heater core.

  • Patent number: 9897106
    Abstract: A rotary machine support device is used for supporting a rotary machine including a hearing housing with a flange and a rotary shaft. The rotary machine support device includes a support portion which supports the rotary machine. The support portion includes: a mounting flange capable of contacting the flange; and arms, each arm including a holding portion which holds the mounting flange and the flange together while pressing the flanges contacting each other inward from outside in the radial direction thereof. The holding portion includes a pair of claw pieces. In addition, at least one of the mounting flange and a groove portion formed between the pair of claw pieces is formed in a tapered shape, and the tapered shape is formed so that the width thereof in the opposing direction of the flange and the mounting flange gradually decreases outward from inside in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20170217438
    Abstract: A vehicle control device disengages a clutch provided between an engine and a driving wheel at a brake-off and an accelerator-off during traveling of the vehicle, and stops the engine and carries out inertia traveling. The vehicle control device starts the engine by the push-start by engaging the clutch and by transmitting the power of the driving wheel to the engine, if it is determined that a brake pedal has been depressed during the inertia traveling.

  • Patent number: 8707755
    Abstract: A reference vibrator 10 of the present invention includes: a vibrator body 11 configured to mount to a mount 4 in an unbalance measurement device 1 to which a rotary product is mounted at the time of unbalance measurement, in a same mounting state as the rotary product; a vibration generator 12 fixed to the vibrator body 11 and that applies vibrations to the vibrator body 11; and a control unit 13 that controls the vibration generator 12. Because vibration is caused by the vibration generator 12 fixed to the vibrator body 11, repeatability of vibration force is high. This makes it possible to apply vibrations for repeatability check to the unbalance measurement device 1 with an accurate vibration force. Thus, variations in vibration force can be eliminated, and the repeatability of the unbalance measurement device 1 can be properly checked.
