Publication number: 20160056686Abstract: A motor case (31) in which a stationary portion (35) is fixed, and a gear case (41) in which a gear mechanism (SD) is accommodated are made of aluminium, most heat generated from the stationary portion (35) at the time of actuation of a brushless wiper motor (20) can be directly dissipated outside from the motor case (31). That is, compared with conventional technique, heat transmitted to the motor case (31) can be efficiently dissipated outside, and the motor case (31) does not reach high temperature. Therefore, as a matter of course, reduction in size and weight can be achieved, suppression of electromagnetic noise can be achieved, and heat-resistance strength can be enhanced. Expensive components capable of resisting high temperatures are not required, and reduction in manufacturing cost can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2014Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Takeshi Kanai, Hiroto Tanaka, Tomohiko Annaka, Naoki Kojima, Hirokazu Shoda

Patent number: 8447493Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention corrects a control target value of ignition timing using a multipoint learned value AGdp(n) for compensating for a change amount of the ignition timing caused by time-dependent change of the engine and a basic learned value AG(i) for compensating for a change amount of the ignition timing caused by a factor other than the aforementioned time-dependent change of the engine. In a multipoint learning range n in which the time-dependent change of the engine influences the ignition timing to a great extent, the control target is corrected using the multipoint learned value AGdp(n) and the basic learned value AG(i). In ranges other than the multipoint learning range n, the control target is corrected using only the basic learned value AG(i).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akito Onishi, Takashi Yoshida, Jun Aoki, Tomohiro Kisaku, Hiroto Tanaka, Rihito Kaneko, Kenji Senda

Patent number: 8301360Abstract: An output signal of a knock sensor is filtered with a plurality of band-pass filters to extract vibration waveform components of a plurality of frequency bands (f1-f4). Weighting coefficients (G1-G4) which multiply the vibration waveform component of each frequency band are established in such a manner as to be a small value as a noise intensity of each frequency band becomes larger. Thereby, the vibration waveform component of a plurality of frequency bands is synthesized by weighting according to an influence of a noise intensity of each frequency band. Even when the noise is superimposed on the vibration waveform component of any of the frequency bands, it becomes possible to reduce the influence of the noise and to synthesize the vibration waveform component of each frequency band, and an accurate knock determination can be performed based on the composite vibration waveform.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignees: Denso Corporation, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoshi Masuda, Rihito Kaneko, Satoshi Watanabe, Hiroto Tanaka, Kenji Senda, Norihito Hanai, Yasuhiro Yamasako

Patent number: 7963269Abstract: A 90° integrated value calculating unit of an engine ECU calculates a 90° integrated value obtained by integrating a magnitude. A calculating unit calculates a knock magnitude by dividing 90° integrated value by a BGL. A value obtained by subtracting a standard deviation ? from a median value of 90° integrated value is determined as the BGL. An ignition timing control unit controls the ignition timing depending on whether knock magnitude is equal to or larger than a determination value. A median value calculating unit calculates median value of 90° integrated value. A standard deviation calculating unit calculates standard deviation of 90° integrated value. A first stop unit stops updating of median value and standard deviation when 90° integrated value is smaller than a first threshold value or is equal to or larger than a second threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Denso CorporationInventors: Rihito Kaneko, Hiroto Tanaka, Satoshi Watanabe, Norihito Hanai, Yasuhiro Yamasako, Kenji Senda, Satoshi Masuda
