Patent number: 11680514Abstract: This liquid injection nozzle atomizes and sprays liquid, while reducing loss of kinetic energy, thereby promoting mixing between the liquid and a gas and thus promoting the reaction between the liquid and the gas. In the liquid injection nozzle, a plurality of distal end tips each having an injection hole are provided on a distal end portion of a nozzle body. Each distal end tip has a conical swirling flow chamber. A communication thin hole is formed in the distal end portion. The communication thin hole extends from a hollow chamber to the conical swirling flow chamber of the distal end tip. When the valve needle is lifted, liquid flows through the communication thin hole into the swirling flow chamber in a tangential direction and generates a vortex flow, and the vortex flow is sprayed from the injection hole.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: ACR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Matsuoka, Hiroshi Noguchi, Keiji Kishishita

Patent number: 11165315Abstract: A manufacturing method for obtaining an interior permanent magnet-type inner rotor without thermal demagnetization due to shrink fitting to a rotating shaft includes: a shrink fitting step of heating a rotor core having slots and inserting a rotating shaft into a shaft hole to shrinkfit the rotor core; and a filling step of filling the rotor core slots in a residual heat state after the shrink fitting step with a flowable mixture of a binder resin heated to a flowable state and anisotropic magnet particles, in oriented magnetic fields This allows, in similar manufacturing steps, an inner rotor of which the magnetic poles are anisotropic bond magnets formed by solidifying the flowable mixture in the slots and a conventional inner rotor of which the magnetic poles are sintered magnets. This allows both the inner rotors concurrently and in parallel (mixed flow production) in an already existing IPM motor manufacturing line.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: AICHI STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Tadashi Fujimaki, Hiroshi Matsuoka, Yoji Hashimoto
