  • Publication number: 20240190262
    Abstract: Battery electric vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a shifter, a mode selection device, and a control device. When the electric motor is controlled in EV mode, the control device changes the output of the electric motor in accordance with the operation of the accelerator pedal regardless of the operation position of the shifter, and when the electric motor is controlled in MT mode, the control device changes the output characteristic of the electric motor with respect to the operation of the accelerator pedal in accordance with the operation position of the shifter. When battery electric vehicle is activated, the mode selection device automatically selects a particular control mode, preferably an EV mode, between EV mode and MT mode.

  • Publication number: 20240166057
    Abstract: The electric vehicle of the present disclosure is configured to use an electric motor as a power unit for traveling. The electric vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a sequential shifter, and a controller. The controller is configured to change a motor torque output by the electric motor in response to operation of the accelerator pedal and operation of the sequential shifter. The controller is configured to change a change rate of the motor torque at least twice during a preset shift time in response to the operation of the sequential shifter.

  • Publication number: 20220395939
    Abstract: The diaphragm boss is fixed such that the shaft part and the enlarged-diameter part are exposed upwardly. The diaphragm member is held with an air suction force by a robot arm apparatus having an air suction part such that the small-diameter concave part and the large-diameter concave part are exposed downwardly. By controlling the robot arm apparatus, the diaphragm member is brought into contact with the diaphragm boss while tilting an axis of the diaphragm member with respect to an axis of the diaphragm boss. By controlling the robot arm apparatus, the small-diameter concave part and/or the large-diameter concave part of the diaphragm member are pressed against the diaphragm boss while rotating the diaphragm member around the axis of he diaphragm boss, so that the enlarged-diameter part is fitted into the large-diameter concave part and the shaft part is fitted into the small-diameter concave part.

  • Patent number: 11293830
    Abstract: The present invention includes: an inspection table configured to support a three-way valve device in such a state that a first opening and a second opening are sealed by a sealing member; a communication hole provided through the inspection table and configured to hermetically communicate with a third opening in a state wherein the three-way valve device is supported by the inspection table; an enclosure configured to cover the three-way valve device to form a sealed space except for the communication part; a helium-gas supply path for supplying a helium gas into the three-way valve device via the communication part and the third opening; a leak tester device configured to determine whether or not there is a leakage of the helium gas into the sealed space; and a helium-gas suction discharge path for suctioning and discharging the helium gas supplied via the third opening and the communication part.
