Patent number: 11165314Abstract: A mandrel formed of urethane is inserted into a hollow shaft and is compressed axially by a die and a pad. The shaft is then fit in a shaft through hole of a rotor core. Thereafter, compression of the mandrel is released or reduced, and the mandrel is removed from the shaft. Thus, in fitting the hollow shaft in the shaft through hole of the rotor core, deformation of the shaft is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiroshi Kinpara

Patent number: 11108056Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a fuel cell that can reduce the amount of an adhesive applied to join a pair of sheet-like separators together while also avoiding failures in the conveyance of the separators. A separator, which has a bent portion on the peripheral edge thereof and has a recess and a projection formed on one surface and the other surface, respectively, of the separator by the bent portion, is used. The conveying step includes gripping the bent portion at opposite ends of each separator using grippers. The seal portion forming step includes disposing an adhesive in the recess formed by the bent portion of one of the separators, and fitting the projection formed by the bent portion of the other separator in the recess.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kunihito Ona, Takahide Katagiri, Keisuke Miyanaga, Hiroshi Kinpara

Patent number: 10879761Abstract: In a rotor of a rotating electric machine, a rotor core is fixed by plastically deforming a shaft having a simple structure. The rotor core is formed by laminating steel sheets provided with shaft holes. The shaft is formed of a hollow metal component and is inserted so as to penetrate through the shaft holes in the steel sheets. A wall surface of the shaft is partially cut in the circumferential direction, and of two wall surface regions aligned in the axial direction with a cut portion in between, the wall surface region positioned on the side farther from the rotor core is plastically deformed in the radial direction. In this way, protruding portions that open the cut portions are formed. End surfaces of the rotor core are pressure bonded and fixed by the cut portions of these protruding portions.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiroshi Kinpara
