Patent number: 10199972Abstract: In a control device for an electric motor (101), a three-phase/two-phase conversion section (203) outputs N d-axis current values and N q-axis current values in each measurement period that is 1/N of a carrier period. An average value calculation section (204) calculates average values of those values. A difference calculation section (205) calculates a difference between a k-th d-axis current value and the average value of the d-axis current values as a d-axis current difference, and calculates a difference between a k-th q-axis current value and the average value of the q-axis current values as a q-axis current difference. A filtering section (206) performs low-pass filtering on each difference, and outputs d-axis and q-axis current correction values. A correction calculation section (207) performs a linear operation of each k-th current value and the corresponding current correction value, and outputs the corrected current values.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Jun Kitagawa, Yasufumi Ogawa, Daiki Matsuura

Publication number: 20150129560Abstract: Provided are a plasma-MIG welding method and a welding torch that are capable of reducing spatter amount without relying on control of a MIG welding power supply. The plasma-MIG welding method employs a plasma-MIG welding device configured from: a plasma torch section that includes a plasma nozzle and a plasma electrode; and an MIG torch that includes an MIG tip and a welding wire. The plasma torch section and the MIG torch are arranged so as to face in different directions at a predetermined distance from each other. The plasma-MIG welding method is characterized in that a plasma arc is made to locally overlap with a tip end portion of the welding wire, and in a state in which melting of the welding wire is promoted, MIG welding is carried out without short-circuiting between a workpiece and a tip end of the welding wire which is a consumable electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Yusuke Muramatsu, Katsuya Matsumoto, Jun Kitagawa, Keishi Setoda

Patent number: 8513564Abstract: A plasma welding torch that can be reduced in size more than in conventional cases. When an inert gas G such as argon gas is supplied to an outer circumferential space around a non-consumable electrode 13, a portion of the inert gas G is used as plasma gas GP that forms a plasma arc PA between the non-consumable electrode 13 and a base material 2 via a plasma orifice 51. A plasma welding torch 1 moves, maintaining this state, in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 4. Meanwhile, a portion of the inert gas G supplied to a gas flowing part 21 is not used as the plasma gas GP but is used as shielding gas GS and is ejected onto the base material 2 ahead in the welding direction via a shielding orifice 52. The welding on the base material 2 is performed in a state where the plasma arc PA and the base material 2 are shielded from the air by this shielding gas.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuya Matsumoto, Jun Kitagawa, Keishi Setoda, Yusuke Muramatsu

Publication number: 20070023158Abstract: Electrodes are embedded respectively in a first die and a second die. A metal workpiece is placed in a cavity defined between the first die and the second die which mate with each other. Then, a molten metal is poured through a passage into the cavity. The molten metal is solidified into a casting, forming a contact region of the metal workpiece and the casting. Thereafter, an electric current is supplied from a power supply between the electrodes across the contact region. The supplied electric current breaks an oxide film that is present on the surface of the metal workpiece, and joins the metal workpiece and the casting in the contact region.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2006Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Toshihiro Murakawa, Jun Kitagawa, Akira Goto, Masamitsu Numano
