  • Publication number: 20260163438
    Abstract: The motor has a case in which a rib is provided on an outer peripheral surface. The rib has a first portion and a second portion having a smaller amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface than the first portion. The first portion extends in a polygonal grid and the second portion is adjacent to the first portion and extends along the first portion. Since the rib provided in the case of the motor has the first portion having a large protrusion amount and the second portion having a small protrusion amount, heat can be efficiently dissipated from the case.

  • Patent number: 10883441
    Abstract: The fuel injection timing IT is changed based operation and environmental condition of the engine. If the injection timing IT is changed, the rate of fuel passing through meshes of the mesh member (i.e., the mesh passing rate) changes. If the mesh passing rate changes, the set-off position (i.e., the ignition position of the air-fuel mixture) is extended or shortened. Based on this, under the condition of high ignition performance (i.e., the second condition), the mesh passing rate is controlled to increase thereby the set-off position is extended. On the other hand, under the condition of low ignition performance (i.e., the first condition), the mesh passing rate is controlled to decrease thereby the extension of the set-off position is suppressed or prohibited.
