Patent number: 10982590Abstract: The present disclosure provides sufficient support rigidity of a supercharger and an intercooler, while reducing an increase in the overall height of an engine. The supercharger extends along a cylinder bank at a side of a surge tank, and is fixed to an intake manifold. The intercooler is located below the supercharger. A case of the intercooler is connected to a discharge port of the supercharger and an intake air introduction pipe of the intake manifold.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Ken Yoshida, Ryotaro Nishida, Hidesaku Ebesu, Shuhei Tsujita, Hisayuki Yamane, Masafumi Nakano, Taketoshi Yamauchi

Patent number: 10900411Abstract: The present disclosure aims to improve circulation of intake air and distribution of bypass intake air to cylinders, while reducing an increase in the overall height of an engine. A supercharger extends along a cylinder bank at a side of a surge tank extending along the cylinder bank. A bypass pipe branching off from an upstream intake pipe configured to introduce the intake air into the supercharger extends along the cylinder bank above the supercharger. A downstream side intake pipe configured to guide the intake air from the supercharger to the surge tank extends downward from the supercharger. The downstream intake pipe is, in a U-shape as viewed along the cylinder bank, connected to the surge tank.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Ken Yoshida, Ryotaro Nishida, Hidesaku Ebesu, Mitsunori Wasada, Mitsutaka Yamaya, Hisayuki Yamane, Yoshihiro Hamazume, Shuhei Tsujita, Hirofumi Shinohara, Eiji Takano, Tatsuya Koga, Tsukasa Hoshino, Masafumi Nakano, Kouichi Shimizu, Jiro Kato, Taketoshi Yamauchi

Patent number: 9190650Abstract: An electrode assembly has a positive sheet, a negative sheet, and separators that are stacked and wounded. A joint portion is formed by thermally fusion bonding or compression bonding of the separators at one end in a width direction thereof so that one end of the positive sheet on an opposite side in a width direction with respect to a positive lead is wrapped by the separators. Arranged outside of the joint portion in the width direction is a separating portion where the separators are separated from each other. A protecting layer made of an insulating material is formed on the end face of the positive sheet. The positive sheet is reliably prevented from being in contact with a foreign material.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: GS YUASA INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Hisayuki Yamane, Kenichiro Ueki, Atsushi Odawara

Patent number: 8640668Abstract: An oil pump unit comprises a pump shaft and a pump housing which stores the pump shaft. A balancer unit comprises a pair of balancer shafts and a balancer housing which stores the balancer shafts. The pump housing and the balancer housing are coupled to each other at least in the vicinity of a periphery of the pump shaft, and at a coupling portion in the vicinity of the periphery of a power transmission shaft is formed a connection groove which connects the inside to the inside of the coupling portion. Accordingly, it can be retrained that the reliability of journal portions of the balancer shaft of the balancer unit and the like is deteriorated by dusts and the like contained in high-pressure oil from the oil pump unit in a balancer device of an engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kunihiro Nishi, Hisayuki Yamane, Masanori Hashimoto, Sakumi Haseto, Masaaki Sato
