  • Publication number: 20240120769
    Abstract: In the present uninterruptible power supply apparatus, in a switching period in which a bypass power feed mode is switched to an inverter power feed mode, a semiconductor switch is turned on, a first electromagnetic contactor is turned off, a second electromagnetic contactor is turned on and, in this state, an inverter is activated to start a lap power feed mode, and the semiconductor switch is turned off to end the lap power feed mode. Accordingly, the lap power feed mode can be completed in a short time to reduce an increase of a terminal-to-terminal voltage of a capacitor and thereby prevent the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor from exceeding an upper limit voltage.

  • Patent number: 11936237
    Abstract: In an uninterruptible power supply apparatus, AC current, which includes a feedback component having a value corresponding to deviation between terminal-to-terminal voltage of a capacitor and reference voltage, and a feed forward component obtained by multiplying load current by a gain, is passed into a converter such that the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor becomes the reference voltage. The gain is set to a first gain in an inverter power feed mode and a bypass power feed mode, and the gain is set to a second gain smaller than the first gain in a switching period of switching between the inverter power feed mode and the bypass power feed mode, to prevent the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor from exceeding an upper limit voltage in a lap power feed mode.

  • Publication number: 20230392418
    Abstract: In a vehicle lock apparatus (1), an open/close mechanism (3) includes: a drive source (M1); an actuation lever (30) supported coaxial with a fork (10) to be swingable in first and second directions (R1, R2) independently of the fork; and a drive train (50) that swings the actuation lever: in first direction (R1) by transmitting a first driving force from the drive source to the actuation lever, and in second direction (R2) by transmitting a second driving force, opposite to the first driving force, from the drive source to the actuation lever. The actuation lever includes: a first operation portion (39) that can swing in first direction (R1) to abut on the fork and cause the fork to swing to a latched position; and a second operation portion (49) can swing in second direction (R2) to abut on a pawl (20) and displace the pawl to a nonblocking position.

  • Patent number: 7513266
    Abstract: First longitudinal grooves are formed in the lateral sides of wing parts of a cap and a slider. First through holes are formed to intersect the first longitudinal grooves in the cap and the slider. Second through holes are formed in positions closer to the centers of the cap and the slider than the first through holes. In the cap, two ribs pointing in the lateral directions are individually supported to be pivotable at the first longitudinal grooves by supporting members in the first through holes, and other ribs are pivotally supported in a collective manner by a circular supporting wire passing through the second through holes. In the slider, two stretchers pointing in the lateral directions are individually supported to be pivotable at the first longitudinal grooves by supporting members in the first through holes, and other stretchers are pivotally supported in a collective manner by a circular supporting wire passing through the second through holes.
