  • Publication number: 20230330785
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a welding measuring system and a welding measuring method that can steadily photograph a welding phenomenon in manual arc welding in which the moving speed of a torch changes irregularly. To this end, a welding measuring system for measuring a welding phenomenon in manual arc welding includes: a camera rail disposed along a welding line; a camera movable on the camera rail; a camera driving device that drives the camera; and a computer that senses a position of an arc within an image photographed by the camera, and controls the camera driving device such that the camera moves at a speed at which the position of the arc continues to be displayed within a predetermined region within the image photographed by the camera.

  • Patent number: 8025138
    Abstract: A multi-plate clutch system includes an outer clutch member having a plurality of first clutch plates thereon, a central spool having a plurality of second clutch plates thereon interspaced with the first clutch plates. The clutch system also includes a cam mechanism including a protruding cam and a recessed cam. The protruding cam and the recessed cam respectively include first inclined faces and second inclined faces, which are inclined in the same direction with respect to the circumferential direction. The protruding cam is thus brought into a point contact with the recessed cam during clutch engagement. As such, the multi-plate clutch system can maintain constant variable characteristics of the clutch capacity even when there is a variation in processing accuracy at the time of the production.

  • Patent number: 7735616
    Abstract: A dog clutch includes a first engagement face and a second engagement face provided on a surface of a driving rotor and a driven rotor with the two surfaces being opposite each other. The first engagement face engaging with its counterpart when a driving force of the driving members is generated. The second engagement face engaging with its counterpart when the driving member receives the driving force from the driven member. The strength of the engagement portion is balanced reflecting the operational torque changing as a power transmission direction changes. A projection drawing to a plane perpendicular to a rotational axis of a driving rotor and of a driven rotor, the inward extension line of the first engagement face passes through a position offset from the position representing the rotational axis, and the inward extension line of the second engagement face passes through the position representing the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 7690489
    Abstract: A clutch for effectively prevents a clutch outer from tilting at the time when torque is varied. The clutch includes damper springs for transmitting, to a clutch outer, torque inputted to a driven gear, and a thrust washer for regulating positional change of a position of the clutch outer with respect to the driven gear in a direction of the shaft axis. The thrust washer is disposed between the driven gear and the clutch outer in an axial direction. The thrust washer is disposed only outward of the damper springs in a radial direction.
