  • Patent number: 10794937
    Abstract: A power conversion device of the present invention includes a power conversion circuit configured to convert power; a conductor configured to transmit a current to the power conversion circuit; and a coreless current sensor configured to detect the current, in which the coreless current sensor includes: a magnetic field detection portion configured to detect a magnetic field of the current; and a shield portion that faces the magnetic field detection portion, the conductor includes: a first conductor portion that passes through a space between the magnetic field detection portion and the shield portion; and a second conductor portion connected to the first conductor portion via a first bent portion, and the first bent portion is formed such that the space between the magnetic field detection portion and the shield portion is not disposed in a direction perpendicular to a face of the second conductor portion closest to the shield portion.

  • Patent number: 10506744
    Abstract: Insulating properties between a metallic member supporting a power semiconductor module and an input/output terminal of the power semiconductor module are secured. In a power conversion device in which a bus bar of a connecting member is connected to an input/output terminal and the like of a semiconductor module protruding through an opening of a metallic member, the connecting member includes extended portions which extend in a space between the bus bar and the opening of the metallic member.

  • Publication number: 20040251893
    Abstract: At least the two arc-shaped magnetic path members are installed along the rotation axis of the throttle valve shaft as if the arc-shaped magnet fixed on the throttle valve shaft is positioned between them. Members constituting the magnetic path are mounted on the resin gear cover to be installed on the body of the EC throttle. Magnetic material (for example, sintered metal) used for the magnet is included in the resin molded gear members to be fixed on the throttle valve shaft, and then when the resin cools down, the magnetic material (for example, sintered metal) is subjected to intense magnet force and magnetized. Control parameters of an internal combustion engine are adjusted according to how much the arc-shaped magnet fixed on the throttle valve shaft is moved into or out of the arc-shaped groove formed by the arc-shaped magnetic path.
