  • Publication number: 20220001466
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to perform machining on a double-curved surface to have good finished surface characteristics while achieving high speed feeding. An end mill (2) is provided with a bottom blade (2A) formed in a curved convex and circular arc shape, and a radius blade (2B) located at the edge and formed in a circular arc shape. The bottom blade (2A) has a region where a blade part is not formed on the axis of the end mill (2), and the end mill (2) is further provided with a center blade (2C) in the region of the bottom blade (2A). The center blade (2C) is formed in a circular arc shape with a radius smaller than that of the circular arc part of the bottom blade (2A).

  • Publication number: 20210394284
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to precisely process a surface-shaped portion having a fillet. An end mill includes a bottom blade having a protruding curved surface and formed in an arc shape, and a radius blade provided in a corner portion and formed in an arc shape, wherein the radius of the arc portion of the radius blade matches the radius of the arc portion of a fillet-shaped portion of a shape to be processed, and the radius of the arc portion of the bottom blade is equal to or smaller than the minimum radius of the arc portion of a surface-shaped portion adjacent to the fillet-shaped portion.

  • Publication number: 20200206854
    Abstract: This processing device is provided with: a tool for machining a workpiece W along the thickness direction thereof, the width-direction external shape of the workpiece W being substantially finished; and a flexible vice 7 that clamps the workpiece W in the width direction without clamping the workpiece W in the thickness direction. The flexible vice 7 is provided with a position adjustment mechanism that prevents the position of the workpiece W from changing in a plane along the width direction before and after the workpiece W is clamped. The present invention is provided with a rough processing tool for performing processing at a rough-processing position, a finishing processing tool for performing processing at a finishing-processing position, and a control unit that causes the position adjustment mechanism to move between the processing performed by the rough processing tool and the processing performed by the finishing processing tool.

  • Patent number: 7183748
    Abstract: A charging control unit decides the number of battery cells on the basis of an output voltage of a battery pack, and an output voltage of a charging circuit is determined in accordance with the decided number of battery cells. Even though supply of an external power supply is detected, when a battery connection is not detected, the power supply circuit of the charging control unit is set in a stop state. In addition, when disconnection of the battery is detected, a canceling voltage for canceling a cutoff state caused by overdischarging of the battery is output. In a power supply device for a portable terminal, a capacitor electrically charged by an output voltage of main DC/DC converter is connected as an auxiliary power supply of a backup DC/DC converter to make exchange of the auxiliary battery unnecessary.

  • Patent number: 5502976
    Abstract: The air conditioning apparatus operable in heating and cooling operation modes for air conditioning a room has an external unit, an inner unit, and a control device. The external unit includes an external heat exchanger. The inner unit disposed in the room includes an inner heat exchanger which functions as an evaporator in the cooling operation mode whereas the external heat exchanger functions as a condenser. The control device has a thermistor disposed on the inner heat exchangers for detecting temperature of the inner heat exchanger, bias means for energizing the thermistor with a predetermined bias potential and term setting means responsive to the operation mode for setting first and second terms for allowing The energization of the thermistor. The the first term is longer than the second term when the inner heat exchanger functions as an evaporator. The control device also has a room temperature sensor disposed in the room for detecting room temperature.
