  • Patent number: 11926246
    Abstract: In a local cart traveling system, a frame track includes first and second metal rails each with an L-shaped cross section and facing each other. A local cart is within the frame track, and includes a first electricity receiving tire and a second electricity receiving tire to travel on horizontal travel surfaces of the rails. A voltage supplier supplies an AC voltage to the travel surfaces, so that the first metal rail and a first electricity receiving tire define a first capacitor and the second metal rail and the second electricity receiving tire define a second capacitor. The local cart includes a power receiver to receive AC power, and a travel motor that receives power after the AC power is rectified. The frame track includes a connecting plate as an electrical insulator covering portions of the surfaces of vertical walls of the first metal rail and the second metal rail.

  • Patent number: 10035535
    Abstract: There are provided a relative angle detection device suitable for expanding a torque detection range, and a torque sensor, an electric power steering device and a vehicle including the relative angle detection device. Based on a first sine signal representing sin(?os+??) and a first cosine signal representing cos(?os+??) in accordance with a rotation angle(?is) of a first multipolar ring magnet that synchronously rotates with an input shaft from between the coaxially arranged input shaft and an output shaft, and based on a second sine signal representing sin ?os and a second cosine signal representing cos ?os in accordance with a rotation angle(?os) of a second multipolar ring magnet that synchronously rotates with the output shaft, sin ?? and cos ?? are calculated in accordance with a relative angle(??) between the input shaft and the output shaft, and from ??=arctan(sin ??/cos ??), the relative angle(??) is calculated.

  • Patent number: 9574611
    Abstract: A sensor (20) arranged in a deep groove ball bearing (10) includes an encoder (22) attached at an inner ring (1) to be rotatable integrally with the inner ring (1), and a magnetism detecting element (24) attached at an outer ring (2) via a sensor housing (26) to face the encoder (22) with a sensor gap. Then, the magnetism detecting element (24) is capable of measuring a rotating state of the encoder (22) rotating in the rotating state identical to that of the inner ring (1) in conjunction with a rotation of the inner ring (1). The deep groove ball bearing (10) includes a foreign material entering prevention portion that prevents a foreign material from entering the inside of the bearing from a gap between the inner ring (1) and the sensor housing (26).
