Patent number: 11476770Abstract: A DC-DC converter has a configuration in which a first full-bridge circuit and a second full-bridge circuit are connected via a transformer and an inductor. A control circuit performs soft switching of each switching element in the first full-bridge circuit and the second full-bridge circuit. An inductor current flowing through an equivalent inductor at a time of switching of turning on or off each switching element is greater than or equal to a threshold current, the equivalent inductor being equivalent to the transformer and the inductor.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: DIAMOND & ZEBRA ELECTRIC MFG. CO., LTD.Inventors: Shogo Nakahara, Hiroyoshi Nakayama

An inductor current flowing through an equivalent inductor at a time of switching of turning on or off each switching element is greater than or equal to a threshold current, the equivalent inductor being equivalent to the transformer and the inductor. The control circuit outputs predetermined power by changing a voltage output period of the first full-bridge circuit and a voltage output period of the second full-bridge circuit while fixing the switching frequency and keeping constant a polarity inversion period in which the output of the second full-bridge circuit and the output of the first full-bridge circuit have reverse polarities.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: DIAMOND ELECTRIC MFG.

Patent number: 11349399Abstract: The DC-DC converter has a configuration in which a first full-bridge circuit and a second full-bridge circuit are connected via a transformer. A control circuit controls soft switching of each switching element. An inductor current flowing through the transformer or an equivalent inductor equivalent to the transformer at a time of switching of turning on or off each switching element is greater than or equal to a threshold current. When the first full-bridge circuit and the second full-bridge circuit have different output voltages V1 and V2, the control circuit causes the inductor current at start times t4 and t8 of a polarity inversion period to approach the inductor current at end times t5 and t9, the polarity inversion period being a period in which V1 and V2 have reverse polarities. This suppresses an increase in loss resulting from a flow of large current and enables ZVS control.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: DIAMOND & ZEBRA ELECTRIC MFG. CO., LTD.Inventors: Shogo Nakahara, Hiroyoshi Nakayama

Publication number: 20210175808Abstract: A DC-DC converter (1) has a configuration in which a first full-bridge circuit (10) and a second full-bridge circuit (20) are connected via a transformer (T) and an inductor (L1). A control circuit (30) controls soft switching of each switching element in the first full-bridge circuit (10) and the second full-bridge circuit (20). An inductor current flowing through an equivalent inductor at a time of switching of turning on or off each switching element is greater than or equal to a threshold current, the equivalent inductor being equivalent to the transformer (T) and the inductor (L1). The control circuit (30) outputs predetermined power by changing a voltage output period of the first full-bridge circuit (10) and a voltage output period of the second full-bridge circuit (29) while fixing the switching frequency and keeping constant a polarity inversion period in which the output of the second full-bridge circuit (20) and the output of the first full-bridge circuit (10) have reverse polarities.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2019Publication date: June 10, 2021Inventors: Shogo NAKAHARA, Hiroyoshi NAKAYAMA

Patent number: 10182166Abstract: An image processing device includes a memory and a storage controller. The memory stores a setting of an image forming process in accordance with generation of a first image formation command or an input of a command for generating the first image formation command. The storage controller causes a first setting designated as a result of a first operation to be overwritten and stored over a second setting designated as a result of a second operation and corresponding to a second image formation command. The first setting and the second setting are included in the stored setting.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventor: Hiroyoshi Nakayama
