  • Patent number: 11496036
    Abstract: A valve device includes a valve, a drive device, and a transmission unit. A valve changes a flow mode of refrigerant that flows in a circulation path of a refrigeration cycle device. The transmission unit includes a driving-side rotary body, a magnetic transmission member, and a driven-side rotary body. The driving-side rotary body includes multiple magnetic magnet poles in a rotational direction. The magnetic transmission member includes multiple magnetic transmission bodies which are configured to be magnetized by the magnetic magnet poles. The driven-side rotary body includes multiple magnetic magnet poles in a rotational direction. The driven-side rotary body rotates in response to a rotary motion of the multiple magnetic magnet poles of the driving-side rotary body via the magnetic transmission body. The number of the magnetic magnet poles and the number of the magnetic transmission bodies are different from each other.

  • Publication number: 20210102635
    Abstract: A valve device includes a valve, a drive device, a magnet coupling, and a screw mechanism. The valve includes a valve body and changes a flow mode of refrigerant flowing in a circulation path of a refrigeration cycle device. The drive device includes an electric drive unit as a drive source. The magnet coupling includes a driving-side rotary body and a driven-side rotary body that are magnetically connected to each other in a non-contact manner and transmits a rotary motion of the electric drive unit from the driving-side rotary body to the driven-side rotary body. The screw mechanism converts the rotary motion of the driven-side rotary body into an axial linear motion of the valve body. The valve device is configured to change the flow mode of refrigerant by using the linear motion of the valve body caused via the magnet coupling and the screw mechanism in response to the drive of the electric drive unit.

  • Publication number: 20210080022
    Abstract: A valve device includes a valve, a driving device, and a transmission unit. The valve changes a circulation mode of refrigerant flowing through a circulation path of a refrigeration cycle system. The driving device drives the valve. The driving device includes a housing and an electric driving unit as a drive source. The transmission unit is arranged in a driving transmission path extending from the electric driving unit to the valve, and changes a speed of rotation generated by driving of the electric driving unit. The transmission unit is entirely or partially arranged in the housing that is partitioned from the circulation path in a liquid-tight manner.

  • Patent number: 10574169
    Abstract: API duty calculation unit of a microcomputer that performs control at a predetermined control period calculates a duty ratio of a voltage applied to a coil of a motor from a target rotation speed and an actual rotation speed calculated by a number-of-rotation information unit. The PI duty calculation unit generates a rectangular wave signal having a period according to one frequency selected from plural predetermined frequencies together with the start of one control period and indicating the calculated duty ratio, and outputs the rectangular wave signal to a PWM duty calculation unit. The PWM duty calculation unit generates a PWM signal for controlling an inverter circuit based on the rectangular wave signal output by the PI duty calculation unit and position information of a rotor of the motor calculated by an electrical angle position information unit.
