  • Patent number: 11764377
    Abstract: A fuel cell system mounted on a vehicle includes a fuel cell, a humidity sensor configured to detect a humidity in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle, a cathode off-gas exhaust passage through which cathode off-gas emitted from the fuel cell is exhausted to outside the vehicle, an introducing port for cathode off-gas, provided in the cathode off-gas exhaust passage, a cathode off-gas introducing unit configured to introduce cathode off-gas emitted from the fuel cell, into the vehicle cabin of the vehicle via the introducing port, and a cathode off-gas introducing amount control unit configured to control an amount of the cathode off-gas introduced into the vehicle cabin of the vehicle in accordance with a humidity in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle, detected by the humidity sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9309960
    Abstract: A damper structure for a gear device, which includes a first gear mounted to turn with respect to a shaft in a circumferential direction, a second gear mounted on the shaft to rotate integrally, a stopper rubber mounted on the second gear to face the first gear, and a pressing protrusion at the first gear to face the second gear. The stopper rubber is configured to be elastically deformed by pressing the pressing protrusion in a circumferential direction of the second gear during rotation of the first gear and be restored to the initial shape by separating the pressing protrusion during stop of the first gear. A recess for accumulating lubricating oil in the first gear is formed to face the stopper rubber.

  • Publication number: 20150143937
    Abstract: A damper structure for a gear device includes a first gear (2) mounted to turn with respect to a shaft (1) in a circumferential direction, a second gear (3) mounted on the shaft (1) to rotate integrally, a stopper rubber (33) mounted on the second gear (3) to face the first gear (2), and a pressing protrusion (24) at the first gear (2) to face the second gear (3). The stopper rubber (33) is configured to be elastically deformed by pressing the pressing protrusion (24) in a circumferential direction of the second gear (3) during rotation of the first gear (2) and be restored to the initial shape by separating the pressing protrusion (24) during stop of the first gear (2). A recess (25) for accumulating lubricating oil in the first gear (2) is formed to face the stopper rubber (33).
