  • Publication number: 20240145152
    Abstract: A motor-driven compressor includes an inverter device. The inverter device includes a common mode choke coil. The common mode choke coil includes an annular core, two windings wound around the core, and an annular conductor that covers the two windings. The conductor is divided into a first metal plate and a second metal plate, which are combined to form an annular shape such that induced current flows in a circumferential direction of the conductor so as to hinder changes in leakage magnetic flux from the core. The second metal plate is thermally connected to the housing. The first metal plate is thermally connected to the second metal plate. At least one of an electrical resistance value or a thermal resistance value in a current path of the induced current is lower in the second metal plate than in the first metal plate.

  • Patent number: 5146879
    Abstract: A variable compression ratio apparatus is provided for use in an internal combustion engine. The apparatus has an eccentric sleeve rotatably arranged in one of pivot portions at opposite ends of a connecting rod so as to make a bearing hole of the connecting rod and a pin, which extends through the bearing hole, eccentric relative to each other. The apparatus also has an eccentric sleeve lock device capable of fixing rotation of the eccentric sleeve at a desired position. The lock device includes a pin member engageable with one of engagement portions formed in the eccentric sleeve and a piston-type fluid pressure drive system. The drive system is adapted to produce a pressure difference between fluid pressure chambers formed at opposite sides of a piston portion, which is connected to the pin member, in a state that the fluid pressure chambers are applied with a prescribed fluid pressure, whereby the piston portion is moved to drive the pin member.
